Oh yes. A good few of those in the know, mostly ex military say this on various podcasts. The Zionists want a Greater Israel with Iran its major goal. Nutenyahu will also try to coax Trump into a ground invasion next.

We're the lucky country, but it's still hurting us. Those very high fuel costs flow into many parts of our economy pushing up prices and inflation chashed by wages

Consecutive govts over decades have ignored the closure of our oil refineries despite oil still remaining a vital energy source. The Persian Gulf crisis has showed us it was a bad call to close those refineries. Yet Labor has not spoken yet about either reopening them or reconverting them from export to import terminals. WA, specially need to follow the leads of Chris Minns and reopen the refineries and Qlds David Crisafulli to again drill for oil. Wake up Albo these refineries are needed as a matter of urgency. How embarrassing is it to go cap in hand to Asian countries that refine oil when we should be self sufficient and if anything have other come to us..

Being self sufficient with Oil in the current global markets has become increasingly important for us.
Likewise, other industries too.
Setting aside enough LPG for domestic needs and putting an export tax on the rest would be fair despite vested interests whining about it.
Our big LPG market also does give us good leverage in acquiring Oil supplies.

Scum of the earth who will soon be given the punishment they and their war criminal masters deserve.

Those illegal Israeli pirates on the Mediterranean sea are an assault to common decency, especially the way some tool bellowed at the the bound and kneeling captives.
Their are reports of Israeli jailers torturing and raping their many prisoners. They are NOT God's chosen people surely. They flap their gums trying to justify the unjustifiable. Their words ring hollow.
Good on my old Ireland and other nations not participating in the European Song Contest as israel was allowed to compete!
Bravo to those brave souls trying to bring aid to the devastation in Gaza, even just a symbolic gesture, a Genocide by a Fascist regime with an unconsiable War Criminal at its helm currently coaching a blithering imbecile to help wage another war with negative global ramifications.

So while Trump hums and has over whether to resume attacking Iran, the evidently still in tact oppressive Revolutionary Guard is taking further control of Hormuz by strengthening their island bases and only permitting their allies to pass thru..
 
Here's an inthresting notion I recently heard.

It's called the Thucydides Trap. It describes a situation where a rising power challenges a dominant one, often leading to conflict. This concept comes from ancient Greek historian Thucydides' analysis of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta. The trap occurs when the dominant power fears losing its status, and both sides become less prepared for diplomacy, making war more likely. Graham Allison coined the term in 2015 to describe this dynamic.

I reckon and heard that's the situation with China and the US.
Crikey, the World is changing fast. Changing much faster with the bumbling Trump factor. Nations are looking more to China as a more stable and reliable partner. Taiwan 🇹🇼 ?
Us too and others... , still, we still need to become more self reliant with the way the Earth 🌎 is currently turning.
