Boby Brno Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 To put things into perspective a little. Between 1973 and 1975, the price of fuel doubled due to the Middle East oil crisis. Worrying times. I remember the cost of filling up my scooter for the week went from 35p to 40p in a matter of weeks! We got through it. Seriously, We’ve gone a long time since a global crisis that affects people in their everyday life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrotter Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Not saying it won't cause trouble/economic damage, but this time around American's have their own oil Favourable time of year - unless it lasts until winter. Do we have any oil fired power stations any more? Makes North Sea drilling and UK fracking more attractive/profitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent_white Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 We are bit part players in a global game. And we'll be even more so post Brexit. There's fuck all we can realistically do of any consequence unless the the US backs us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 My mates in Afghan at the minute contracting for the US army. Works and lives with the troops. Says it’s 100% going to boot off big style. It’s been planned for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted July 20, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted July 20, 2019 Given the parlous state of the Iranian economy, they may struggle to manage in a prolonged conflict. Obviously they've got oil and fuel, but low on other things. Interesting to note some of the crew on board these two tankers grabbed by the Iranians are Russian. Might complicate things a bit.
