Silver lining, i guess thank you Trump for finally forcing the world at large to strongly consider alternative energy sources much quicker than ever.

China is about to sell the world a f-ton of green energy, ev’s, and batteries. They won and didn’t lift a finger.

Turns out, Trump was working for China all this time. This is literally the best global outcome for China they could ever imagine. They owe him greatly for this.

Chubb Insurance is the only US company approved to hold a majority stake in the financial sector in China. The CEO of Chubb insurance meets with Xi Jinping regularly and has publicly pushed for the US to abandon Taiwan. In 2024, when no one would post 80+ billion in bail for Trump on the E. Jean Carroll r*** defamation case, Chubb insurance stepped in to post bail. This cleared the way for Trump to campaign in 2024.

shortyjacobs Mar 31, 2026 +3
Bond, not bail. A defamation case is civil. There is no bail. But because he appealed, he (or someone), had to put up the money to ensure that if he lost the appeal, Carroll still got her money. For what it’s worth, that’s a standard part of our legal system.

What do you mean they did nothing? Is doing "something" (war) needed to win? That's the only "winning" the US knows... The Chinese did a lot of things right, they realised 2 decades back that renewables and EVs is the way forward, they shifted policies accordingly, trying to be energy independent. The Chinese did a lot of things to win, they just didn't go to war for it.

Without a doubt China has been instrumenting some of it, as much as they can, with bots and social media campaigns to agitate the US into this stage of social decay.

Genuine question: does the availability and cost of oil impact on their ability to increase manufacturing and selling ev’s and batteries? Wouldn’t there still be an issue of the ships that they come over on still needing crude oil to run?
8
KL_boy Mar 31, 2026 +14
We need oil, still, for many things. The idea is to reduce the dependecy of oil for ICE cars and LNG for power. But yes, expect everything to be more expensive with the higher oil price. The hope is that as we reduce the usage of oil, the price will fall.. I dont think it will happen.. We had years, and year to transition and we done FA. Compare it to Norway (a proper transition to EV) and you see what could of been done long ago.

ChroniclesOfSarnia Mar 31, 2026 +6
well... as far as I know, China is friends with Iran and is still getting their oil!

kharathos Mar 31, 2026 +2
The thing about green energy is that there is a lot of infrastructure to be built, which isn't being built as fast as we'd like till now. There is also huge inertia worldwide in moving away from fossil fuels since it's a huge part of worldwide geopolitics and economy. However, major events like this war can act as a catalyst to reduce our dependency on fossil fuel. Yeah ships will likely run on oil or LNG forever, but cars and houses should be running on renewables.

2 stroke motors, esp32 chips, cameras and radio link chips kinda like junk food production for china.  If anything it's criminal how much China is charging iran for the parts. 35k$ suicide drone?!? Please! China can bang out 4k$ in fully assembled tested configurations drones in 10k lot sizes. China selling just parts for that much. Robbing those poor Iranians. Making them assemble their own drones.

Yes, but way too slowly and it heavily depends on whos in power. Just like the US most conservative parties would go back to c**** Oil instantly.

Pocketfulofgeek Mar 31, 2026 +19
It’s insane that “a cleaner more sustainable environment” or “lower costs and more efficient return” or “energy independence” weren’t enough motivation to get MPs of the world seriously considering moving away from oil but “a big stupid war started by an evil moron” did the job almost overnight.
19
erlo68 Mar 31, 2026 +7
Because the transition is gonna be a painful one either way. We missed our window to be able to cleanly transition away from Oil in a timely manner by decades. But like American politicians like to say these days "A short term pain, for a long term gain". While they wrongly apply it to a different situation, it's still the best thing they said in a long time. Now that the pain has already arrived, might as well do the transition now and get it over with. Depending on how severe this really gets, through sheer stupidity Trump may have inadvertently forced upon a change no green deal would have ever achieved.

Good thing Trump trashed all the EV incentives and brought back gas cars before starting this. Now the US can profit from all that expensive gas.

Sn_Orpheus Mar 31, 2026 +5
And the Photo Voltaic house panels as well? Granted, that's a bit of a rich person's option, but AFAIC, every watt hour taken away from natural gas and coal producing is good. At this point, it's a finger in the eye of power companies serving their shareholders before serving their customers who are getting crushed under the increased monthly bills.

seriouslythisshit Mar 31, 2026 +4
Gas cars never left, they have dominated the market forever in the states. EV sales rose to 10% of new vehicle sales in 2024, and really didn't drop much after the orange a****** tried to destroy them.

If that a****** actually puts troops on Iranian soil, things are going to get a lot worse, for a very long time. If you live in a country that is not actively asking themselves "how can we divorce ourselves from any military, diplomatic and economic relationship with the US, as quickly as possible" you really need to pick up your game.

It's going to go up more and that means everything that is transported by trucks is also going to go up. They said they want to gut healthcare to fund this war and it's not financially sustainable. The silver lining is this might actually be the thing that gets him removed because people in all parties can agree more expensive stuff is really bad.

There was a brief moment around 3 years ago when most of that sub was saying they needed to dump Trump and move on. I can’t remember why. It lasted about a day though. I was actually hopeful for a second.
13
jordanmc7 Mar 31, 2026 +3
It was probably after the 22 mid-terms. The party was ready to dump him after he endorsed a bunch of losers. But then they rallied around him after the indictments. Yes he deserved everyone of those indictments, but he was able to portray himself as a martyr, the party circled the wagons around him, and the rest is history.
3
Blueskyminer Mar 31, 2026 +5
Nah, I have zero hope of remaining maga people recanting. It would amount to recanting their own existences. Especially for the really economically stressed ones that thought he was looking out for them and are struggling. They just aren't capable of a shift in mindset.

SirJackAbove Mar 31, 2026 +6
I pop in there from time to time too. It's all about Ilhan Omar and a lot of anecdotal cases of illegal immigrants committing a crime and getting caught by ICE. Those are the sparse examples of stories they can lean on to support their fascist narrative currently, but there is precious little about Iran, because there is *precious* little to lean on there, and SO much to blatantly challenge their world view, even to them. To be fair to them, when there is something, they do actually seem highly critical of it, and they do also acknowledge that it's poor behavior when Trump shitposts about Mueller's death, for example. It just doesn't really budge their tribalism. They "regret the bad optics" of it, or whatever, but they don't fundamentally question their conviction about Trump.
6
grey_hat_uk Mar 31, 2026 +2
I have been popping in there on occasion and to be fair they are pissed about the gas prices but are coming around to the idea that boots on the ground is the answer. Their next biggest worry is that because all the military is Republican(??) that they will lose a lot of voters for the mid terms in the war.

This is a reminder that you vote for candidates not policies. If you vote for a convicted felon who is known to be a con artist, you can’t really say that you weren’t against this war. It’s like saying that you are against burning your house down after you hand your toddler matches and gasoline.

Sad-Society-57 Mar 31, 2026 +10
AIPAC money is not life-changing money. Taking money from AIPAC does not mean, and has not historically meant, that you have to set your own country on fire for Israel. Our politicians have been gladly accepting their money for a long time without doing something this stupid. This is just as much a vanity war for Trump as it is anything else.
10
Chengar_Qordath Mar 31, 2026 +6
Fair point, it’s often a matter of using their money and influence to boost politicians who already aligned with Israel, rather than people changing their values.
6
Sad-Society-57 Mar 31, 2026 +6
I think that's more accurate. Theyre not bought and paid for, but rather predisposed to support Israel for a bunch of reasons and the lobby helps get their foot in the door. That's been my observation, anyway

Here in Thailand diesel is gone from approximately thirty baht / liter to 38 baht . problem is is that stations don’t have any to pump . when a station around my area in Chiang Mai gets a delivery the queue is one to two kilometers long and takes at least an hour to go through, and there’s no guarantee they’ll still have diesel available when you reach the pump.

thefunkygibbon Mar 31, 2026 +9
30 TO 38 or 30 to 238???

long_strange_trip_67 Mar 31, 2026 +11
Sorry for the confusion, 38. The Thai government is subsidizing the price. I understand it’s up to 40 now but I’m not sure. Haven’t wanted to wait the huge long queue at any station that gets a shipment of diesel. Eventually, I’ll have to, but also have a gasoline car and electric motorcycle.
11
few Mar 31, 2026 +2
I have great sympathy for you! The bigger issue isn't the price, it's the availability. At some point, if you absolutely require fuel, but can't obtain fuel at any price, that is disastrous. It seems that Asian countries will suffer the greatest fuel shortages from this conflict. EU will also be affected, but a much larger fraction goes to Asia.

> Destroys green energy initiatives across the country > pays a company 1 billion dollars to NOT build a wind farm > goes hog wild on fossil fuel based energy reliance > starts a war that is literally only about blowing up fossil fuel based energy sources. Literally the dumbest f****** reasoning out of anyone ever. God. If the rapture was real and went how the zealous psychos wanted, it would legitimately be a wonderful day for literally the entire planet and all life that calls it home.

No need to use /s This will actually happen. There is no other way out. Trump will frame having ‘obliterated’ Iran as a win. But there will be no regime change and the strait of Hormuz that was once open will now be fully controlled and exploited by Iran.
165
crevettexbenite Mar 31, 2026 +17
And it will change almost nothing because they all(both side) blowed multiple decades long building oil plants and LNG. Even if the Straigth open tomorrow, we can expect high oil prices and inflations for yearS to follow. Yeap, US fucked the world... again.
17
jkman61494 Mar 31, 2026 +6
Yup. We took a position of strength and made us weaker while making the two nations that control us stronger. Israel will carve out a chunk of Lebanon for their settlements. Russia oil is no longer sanctioned. And one of Russias chief allies has a bigger chokehold on Hormuz.

Nah, no reader would have bought the fall of the US would come at the hands of one so transparently, cartoonishly evil, depraved, and incompetent. Its really an indictment on a huge portion of the American people.

Everything Trump is doing is not only benefiting Putin, but he’s bending over backwards to release sanctions on Russian oil. This entire song and dance is for the benefit of Putin. His long term goal has always been to destabilise the west, and now he’s getting everything he wanted. When will America wake up and oust this fool.

A few bases were damaged, none were destroyed. However you left out an important bit: Sanctions on Iran partially lifted.

None destroyed. But they're taking heavy losses, including to aircraft that are extremely important and not easily replaced (and f****** expensive to boot).

Losing 2 out of the rumoured 6-8 airworthy E-3 Sentry AWACS is inexcusable. Especially when Trump tried to cancel it's successor the E-7 Wedgetail AWACS that is flown by Australia and other NATO partners. Australia (my homecountry) has sent one of our E-7 to the Middle East to help, it's stationed not far from here at Al Minad and is probably feeding the air defences being used to keep me safe right now.

According to multiple media reports most of the US bases are inhabitable and staff have been moved to hotels or local office spaces to work remotely. The only staff remaining at the bases are ground crews responsible for fueling and rearming aircraft.

Iran keeps taking out air defense radars slowly but surely, which has left some bases completely undefended and with significant damage. The mainstream media in the US has completely largely failed to keep up with this.

sentrypetal Mar 31, 2026 +28
The New York Times reported that several bases are so damaged as to be uninhabitable. US military are sheltering amongst the civilian population. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/us/politics/iran-us-bases.html

Sequence_Low-High Mar 31, 2026 +8
It is much worse than apparantley anyone on this page is aware. Well over a dozen US bases are highly damaged. Not completely oblitertated, but comms down and no strategic ability to utilize them. As well as precisely targeting not only the most important communication systems but extensive aircraft, specifically refulling planes. The bases are night and day worse than the media is allowed to portray

DimensionalYawn Mar 31, 2026 +13
Seems like every time Trump makes one of those maximalist threats he loves so much as a bargaining strategy Iran responds by hitting some of his allies' oil infrastructure. I wonder how long it will take him to realise that Iran has read Art of the Deal and has leverage too? Leverage which it demonstrates every time he tries to use his tried-and-trusted 'demand a lot of wild shit to give yourself room to manouver' negotiation strategy to deliberately undermine his posturing of strength. At this point it would be wonderful if the USA was lead by someone whose idea of negotiation was more than bullying in a suit.

Now? Americans have been killing brown people for oil for the last two decades. You guys complain about terrorism and then go blow up people at weddings... It's good that there is a realization that you're part of the problem but that realization should also include the fact that you've been that way for a LONG time.

StevieJax77 Mar 31, 2026 +5
A lot of the world have for many years (fluffy, had-wavy generalisations ensue) considered the West, and the US specifically, this way. The Soviets said from day-1 that the US were fascist, imperialist etc etc. Sure, it was wrapped in legalese, the UN, the formalities and structure of bureaucracy, but fundamentally the US got what it wanted. It just had the decency to wrap it in some negotiation first, before bombing someone. Didn’t dawn on me properly until Ukraine. Non-western nations seemed more likely to view it as a 50/50 and didn’t ostracise Russia. Why? Well, if you’ve been on the receiving end of the US power trying to control you or your neighbours, you’re more likely to see both sides (US/Russia) as largely the same - just different methods. But the US still wrapped it in consensus with the West if nobody else. There was still a lot of the world that saw through the niceties and would listen to Russia, China etc “you can’t trust the US. They’re gangsters, imperialists.” Well, for whatever reason, the US has decided to dispense with the niceties now and show that Russia might have had a point all these years. The US elected a TV star whose entire schtick is to preen his own ego and bully others, and has surrounded himself with others who do the same, and now they are running the country that way. Strut around, threaten, belittle… make the US into what the non-West thought it was, and watch the allies peel off as a result. It’s nuts.

I’m a little surprised that no one is talking about the potential ecological disaster if multiple oil tankers rupture and spill oil there in the strait. Desalination plants can’t work, well especially if they got bombed, but oil in water is bad all around. The entire region would become uninhabitable.
