2026-02-28 Iran War - Israel and USA strikes Iran - "Preemptive Strike"

[oldschoolfan]

High 5's at minimum. I've seen $7.99/gal at our local station for diesel. I paid $5.79/gal last week.

Fuck Chao’s that sucks I hope you do not drive a hummer 😀

My aunt has a f 150 cost her about 100 to fill up

A guy I work with spends 400 to 500 a month to drive to work he has a gas guzzler

Zero sympathy for dumbass morons with gas guzzlers. Their lifestyle choice. Lots of vehicles with much better mileage and anyone with a long commute with a gas guzzler js a double moron. Gas is dropping for me still and even at peak it was like an extra $15 a fill up, happy to pay that for a while to defang Iran.

Somehow everyone claims Trump is under the thrall of Israel but 80% of American Jews voted and vote against him. And don’t get me started on how he can’t find a good lawyer.

You have a great point there if I had a long commute I would definitely be in a Prius

Doesn’t need to be a pussy Prius lots of good cars with decent mileage. If you want a gas guzzling truck or hot rod fine but that’s your choice. Live with it.

We are well over 6 bucks in the bay area, the part of California that actually MATTERS. Quit your bitching

[LurkerNoMore]

A lot of people don't understand how much more foreign countries pay for gas than we do in the US.  They see a price like $3.50 in the US and then traveling abroad they see something like $3.60 there and think it basically the same.  It's not until they understand that is for a liter there and our price is for a gallon.

3.69 at Costco today.

That's the high over the course of this for us.

Costco gas is gay.

Really? He can't find a good lawyer? Because jews hate him I guess? REALLY? Come on man, like Trump is really disadvantaged on that front

Trump says the new MAGA is characters like Israeli Mossad assets Laura "Larry" Loomer, Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro and Israel firster f@ggot Lindsey Graham. All these people were never Trumpers until they found out what his position on Israel was. I haven't gone back in this thread to see if it was mentioned but did you read the NY Times account on the build-up to the Iran attack? What role Bibi and the two Chabad real estate figures played? You'll probably say fake news, but I don't find this account unbelievable overall. People in the admin said Bibi peddles BS and exaggerates as the Israelis usually do to get their way.

It's said by many serious sources Loomer actually has a big say on who gets hired and fired by Trump. Insanity, LOL. She's campaigning against Tulsi right now, though Trump has refused to fire her yet. Her every argument is centered around what's best for Israel.

I don't know about your neck of the woods, but out here douchebags will line up out into the streets to save a few cents per gallon. There are two costcos I know of that have actually coned off lanes of the street and will often have to bring in local PD to direct trafic at their gas stations.

Chaos they do that here in Michigan Costco on the weekends are brutal I am like you I am not waiting in line for an hr to save 2 bucks on a tank of gas

Now if they had Costco whore who would give me Bjs while I wait I would !

[Griffith]

Holy shit jos that is like 7 u.s per gallon Christ if thst happened here people would riot

Damm I feel for you that sucks

And add in much lower salaries in the rest of the world, and worse depreciating currencies.

And still having to pay a lot more in USD for fuel compared to the US.

People are convinced they are saving tons of money by saving .15/gal. If you do the math on a 20 gallon fill that's $3. I'm not sitting my cracker ass in line with a bunch of other losers for 15-20 minutes just to save $3. Same shit at Sams club.

They'll also line up to pay $8-9 for a Starbies.  People sweating something costing them an additional $20 a week must have forgotten the Pants-shitting Joe Biden presidency

Gas was $7 U.S./gallon in Europe decades ago.

My Costco never has lines.

So I will take my $3 savings happily.




















Then spend $300 at Costco.

Had a bit of a break. What's new with this war? Is Trump playing 50D chess or is he totally unhinged and unintentionally undignified?

Today he once again says the war is won and over with. Their navy and air force are totally destroyed, which was never an issue or a stated goal in the first place. Claims there has been regime change (for the better). Taken at surface value he's trying to claim a win to be able to pull out. Others will say not even the navy is gone since their actually useful navy is in caves (speed boats), new intelligence estimates say 70% of their missile launchers are still there with up to 15K missiles, and the new leaders are more hard line. And so on.

Larry Johnson claims he heard Trump tried to activate the nuclear codes Saturday night but Caine shut him down. Just a rumor AFAIAC
