Trump's second attempt to seize the Strait of Hormuz, get Iran's enriched uranium, and bring Iran to its knees failed again.

[Brett Erickson @BrettErickson28]

So just to be clear Mr. Trump… You said Iran was “begging” for a deal? And they just rejected that deal? Do I have that correct?

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Seizing another nation's assets to pay for unrelated future claims is an incendiary precedent.

Those who celebrate or profit from such funds should remember: once governments normalize confiscation, no one's assets are safe. Ensuing chaos will not be pretty or peaceful.

[Iran Embassy in Australia @IraninAustralia]

Did you know why they want to tarnish Iran's reputation on social media? Because this is the Iran you see in the video, and they don't want to see beautiful Iran.

[BRICS News @BRICSinfo]

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran's Chief Negotiator says the US wanted to "punish" Iran, but they "punished themselves with triple-digit oil instead."

"10/10 strategy"

[Tucker Carlson @TuckerCarlson]

Obviously this little freak could go volunteer to fight the war himself, but of course he won’t. He’s got no interest in making any kind of personal sacrifice. None of them do. Israel’s finance minister bragged the other day that having American soldiers fight Netanyahu’s wars “is the best for us.” Smotrich doesn’t want to die for Israel. Neither does Ben Shapiro. Dying for Israel is your job. You’ve got to wonder how people like this — liars without honor, wisdom or loyalty to the United States — wound up in positions of such profound influence throughout our society. How did Mark Levin get the president’s cell phone number? Why is Adm. Brad Cooper, the man in charge of the Iran war, secretly taking strategic advice from crazed Israel shill Mark Dubowitz? It’s all so nuts, and ultimately suicidal. Future generations will struggle to understand it. In the meantime, Trump will likely obey Ben Shapiro, as he has consistently for months. We can predict the results, because every neocon “victory” is identical: huge numbers of innocent people killed, disproportionately Christians, economic destruction, famine, mass migration and deepening authoritarianism at home. That’s what they’re demanding because that’s what they want. What can we do to stop it? Apparently not much. But we can remember what happened and why, so that history records the truth. Otherwise, when the war ends in disaster, as it inevitably will, Ben Shapiro will be able to blame you for it.

[Persian Girl @Persianserene1]

It's very interesting to me that some Americans are angry at Iran because it killed 3 American “soldiers” at a “military base”

Shall I remind you that your terrorist regime killed 168 students in Iran on the first day of the war?!

[Robert A. Pape @ProfessorPape]

President Trump’s threat to destroy civilian infrastructure—like bridges and power plants—is a textbook example of failed coercion

History shows this failed in Vietnam

It will not force Iran into submission

Escalation becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy

[Chris Martenson @chrismartenson]

What could possibly go wrong?

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

Sacrifice?? What the fuck are you talking about??

They did not willingly sacrifice themselves.

They were killed because of the war you, Trump, and the admin, are waging on behalf of a FOREIGN COUNTRY, Israel.

You mean their deaths fuel your bloodlust for a senseless war.

[Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei @MKhamenei_ir]

The repeated breaches of the agreement by the Great Satan [the US] regarding the MOU signed by the Presidents of Iran and the US have once again laid bare a fundamental truth: the signature of the US President is utterly worthless and devoid of credibility.

[Sayed Abbas Aragchi @SyedAbbasA3t]

We do not see them as a superpower, and we have shown the whole world that they are not.

[Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur]

Saying you’re worried about China interfering in our elections after you got paid over $300 million by an Israeli family is pretty hilarious. Israel has interfered in our politics more than all other countries combined.

[Parody Jeff @Parodyjeffx]

Pete Hegseth is proudly announcing that the U.S. just bombed one of Iran’s main airports.

The normalization of crimes against humanity is complete.

[Seyed Mohammad Marandi @s_m_marandi]

You're either with Trump and Netanyahu or you are against them. Silence is complicity.

[ADAM @adamemedia1]

So America is bombing children’s cancer hospitals in Iran. Isn’t it clear who the bad guys are here?

[Daily Loud @DailyLoud]

BREAKING: Iran has installed a billboard in the capital Tehran showing US President Donald Trump lying in a coffin.

[X @Xking332]

400 children.

Trump just bombed Shahid Baghaei Children's Cancer Hospital.

Terrified children are being evacuated in the middle of the night.

Mothers and fathers have gathered outside.

Most of these children are between the ages of 6 to 14.

I have to apologize in advance, because I think I’ve failed to explain this with sufficient clarity on my part, and it’s important to get this right. Our current global population of 8+ billion people is only alive because of a supply chain infrastructure built up over the last 60 years or so which saw dramatic scaling of natural gas extraction infrastructure (largely in Qatar and North America), dramatic improvements in oil extraction from existing Persian Gulf wells, and a tremendous amount of downstream chemistry that processes raw gas and oil to produce critical substances for our world such as helium (He), sulfuric acid, phosphate fertilizers, nitrogenous fertilizers, polyethylene, naphtha, aluminum smelting and so on.

The sulfuric acid that extracts phosphate (for fertilizer) from phosphate rock ores, for example, comes from pulling excess sulfur out of “sour” crude oil. (The core chemical reaction converts tricalcium phosphate into phosphoric acid and gypsum, with very high efficiency.) The “sour” refers to sulfur content. Without high-volume oil extraction, you don’t get the sulfur needed to produce this key type of fertilizer. And without the low-cost energy from the gas extracted from gas fields like Las Raffan, you don’t get the Haber-Bosch process that pulls N2 Nitrogen out of the atmosphere and breaks it to form ammonia (NH3) which becomes the feedstock material for nitrogenous fertilizer. (I’m simplifying the steps, but you get the idea.)

If these raw materials that normally pass through the Strait of Hormuz don’t get restored in short order, we aren’t merely facing annoying economic effects like higher food prices, higher diesel prices, fuel rationing, supply chain disruptions, loss of food packaging plastics and so on…
...we’re facing a loss of the infrastructure that keeps 8+ billion people alive on this planet.

If you lose 25% of the global supply of these critical substances, you will sooner or later lose 25% of the global population: 2 billion people. The Persian Gulf, by the way, supplies roughly about one-third of the world’s fertilizer that traded in the global marketplace. Do the math.

Right now, literally 50% of the global population is kept alive from food that’s fertilized using nitrogenous fertilizers derived from natural gas. A significant portion of that gas normally comes out of the Persian Gulf. But no longer. Not since Trump bombed Iran and started this war, resulting in Iran closing off the Strait of Hormuz.

QatarEnergy, which suffered extensive damage to two of its LNG processing trains and suffered a catastrophic explosion when trying to restart one of its processing trains a few weeks ago, has already declared force majeure and publicly announced a 3-5 year repair time for its damaged gas trains. So if we’re lucky, then QatarEnergy’s gas will be fully back online possibly around 2030. That’s if the war stops tomorrow and the repairs can get under way.

But if Iran chooses to strike additional gas trains – a feat that is easily achieved by Iran, possibly in retaliation for Trump’s latest threats to target and destroy Iranian civilian infrastructure – the repair time grows to ONE DECADE. And that assumed Qatar could even get the financing to fund such an effort, which itself seems doubtful.

Should that scenario unfold, the entire planet will be lacking critical energy, helium, nitrogenous fertilizers and their parent molecules (ammonia, urea, etc.), affordable aluminum smelting and other outputs that are downstream from Qatar’s gas production. This shortage will last ten years in a best-case scenario. During that decade, it is impossible that all 8 billion people will have enough to eat. It is also impossible that all the world’s current industrial manufacturing operations will economically survive, which means widespread global job losses.

The lack of fertilizer means a mass die-off on planet Earth is unavoidable if the infrastructure destruction in Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, etc., escalates to the point of all-out war. Iran has so far decided to refrain from achieving the near-total destruction of critical infrastructure across the region, but that restraint may end quickly if Trump escalates the U.S. bombing campaign to target Iranian power plants, bridges, water treatment facilities and other key civilian infrastructure.

Stated differently, the fate of some significant portion of the world’s 8 billion people now rests in the hands of an orange mad man who demonstrates zero understanding of the ramifications of his escalation actions. And if he proceed to make good on his threats, he will unleash a series of events that will make the continued survival of the full 8 billion people on planet Earth quite literally impossible, likely for a decade or longer.

This would plunge Earth into a 10+ year “dark ages” and likely see the loss of billions of lives, the fall of numerous governments around the world, and economic destruction on a scale no living person has ever witnessed. Nor has history ever witnessed that we know of. Add in a dose of civil unrest, large-scale uprisings and regional warfare, and you have a recipe for global instability and systemic collapse that no one in a position of power has seriously pondered. The impacts of this would be, arguably, similar to planet Earth being struck by a high-velocity (and large) asteroid, unleashing mass kinetic destruction and a dimming of the sun, causing photosynthesis collapse on a global scale, lasting several years while food crops fail, famines take hold and nations tear themselves apart from the inside. And I haven’t even covered the climatic changes that would end civilizations around the world.

It almost seems like a cliché to state we are facing, “the end of the world as we know it,” but hell, we are literally facing the end of the world as we know it. And Trump, infused with all the madness and arrogance of a rogue emperor who has lost the plot, is pushing us all right to the edge of the abyss.

I would normally say, at this point, “I hope you have a year’s supply of food” to make it through what’s coming, but honestly that won’t be enough if Trump pushes us into an all-out infrastructure destruction war. The loss of the 60+ years of human infrastructure that has allowed the population to double from 4 billion to 8 billion over just a few decades will be REVERSED, and the population will shrink from 8 billion to 4 billion or possibly even less, depending on wars and economic strife.

Trump isn’t merely at war with Iran, in other words. He’s waging war on the entire human race. He is assaulting the very civilizational infrastructure that made our modern population possible to sustain. That infrastructure can be destroyed in an instant, with a rebuilding time of a decade or longer. And once it’s gone, there’s no going back to the way things were in 2025.

And during the new dark age, what will billions of human eat if there’s no fertilizer available for agriculture?
The honest answer is that they’ll sooner or later start eating each other.

Prepare accordingly. And demand an end to this senseless war before we all find ourselves in the cross hairs of global destruction and the death of billions of human beings.

[HealthRanger @HealthRanger]

The U.S. thinking it can control the Strait of Hormuz is as delusional as Iran thinking it can control the Gulf of Mexico.

The difference is, only Trump is dumb enough to even entertain such a stupid idea.
