Flight-tracking websites showed dozens of Air Force aerial refueling planes departing from military bases in the United States and heading to Europe on Sunday, fueling speculation of direct U.S. involvement in the widening Israeli-Iranian war.
Military-focused news sites reported that around 30 U.S. Air Force KC-135R and KC-46A tankers were identified by flight-tracking software in what The Times of Israelcalled an “unprecedented mass deployment” to Europe.
I fucking hate this rhetoric which is: OIL! GAS! BUY OIL! BUY GAS! KEEP PUTIN HAPPY! OIL! GAS!
No one was taking the ‘war’ between Israel and Iran seriously last week after the initial surge in oil price because the USA was like… “yeah, nah”. Now, after a quick call from Putin and bam, all this BS about how the US is pandering for war to drive commodity and share prices up when it’s a nothingburger.
Remember kids, buy oil, buy gas and do as you’re told.
I think RATM had something to say about your last 4 words
Retail traders beg to differ though and are doing as they’re told.
“Thank you sir, may I have another!”
