Philippines declares national energy emergency as Asia risks energy crisis amid Iran war

Gotta get rid of those Epstein headlines and a teenage biting your c***! https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/05/donald-trump-epstein-files-allegations-00816123

The USAID cuts are expected to kill like 14 million people by the 2030s if nothing is done to fix it. Its already killed thousands of people. And that was just an off handed policy Doge dished out in the early days of this term. And its giving death toll estimates rivaling the f****** holocaust. And no one talks about it. And lets not forget the covid mishandling before that. What did that cost? Like a million American lives? And the blackouts in Cuba. Have fun living on a ventilator in a country with a mass fuel shortage. Oh and the healthcare cuts to the American healthcare system. There's a couple thousand annually. The human cost of this is still being revealed but it can easily kill millions of people. Fuel is important. So is fertilizer and food which this is impacting. Trump is literally getting up there with Hitler/Stalin death tolls right now. Not sure how you could ever figure out his impact on climate change but that also isn't good and adding to it. And we don't have the full scope of the ICE bullshit and whats happening in the camps still. I don't think people quite get it yet Trump is more than just annoying. He is one of the most destructive and murderous human beings in modern times. Literally millions of people will have died who probably would have lived if it weren't for Donald J. Trump.

Don’t make him feel that powerful

Absolutely insane I honestly still cant quite wrap my head around this

But can you imagine how much worse it would be if we had communist Marxist fascist capitalist socialist bad-smiling Harris? ^(sigh… /s)

Philippines getting hit especially hard since they literally elected the son of a dictator to be their president, who stole billions from the country and is continuing to do so. That entire country is a /r/leopardsatemyface

Also 40% of Russia’s refining ability is offline. The world is being hit simultaneously with 2 of the largest suppliers of oil being disrupted.

Funny thing is, 3 of Philippines closest neighbor have oil but they only produce enough for domestic supply or have too premium oil quality that will be a waste to be used for daily needs.

Everyone ignoring the "Strait of HallaBalla" part T\_T

Except Singapore. They’re cashing in on selling locally refined fossil fuel in the meantime.

I bet the number is even massiver if you do it in liters.

Guess who has cornered the rare precious minerals market for EV and also solar? China. 

Coal doesn't fuel airplanes regardless of how much you use.

I hope this event and the others (Venezuela) caused by Trump and rich oil companies, makes the world move away from fossil fuels even faster than before. Those greedy assholes.

60% of the worlds gdp has lost over 50% of their ability to import oil

Keeping the POTUS pedo headlines on war and not his pedo crimes. Like this one from March 5, 5 days into the war https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/05/donald-trump-epstein-files-allegations-00816123 It's like wag the dog

He does, but we’re playing checkers.

Shipment of Russian oil just arrived too

Technically, that is China ... With the US it is more like "When America Bounces a Check, everyone else goes bankrupt."

When you sneeze and shit yourself simultaneously

Yeah, I've been surprised by how relatively little news this is making here in IDN. I can see the potential for 2025-style protests to erupt again, though, if the petrol supply begins to dry up. As for now, life is fairly status quo here in Jakarta.

Y’all produce oil tho, right?

That's because nothing could be done, every country ~~in Asia~~ are bracing for a big crash. Except for a few who have neutral/friendly relations with Iran/China/Russia and have significant influence.

Lol? With that attitude her life is definitely better not because she is still in Philippines but you left her.
