No, you really couldn't physically move that much oil on trucks in any realistic scenario.

    Really? You think there's a law of physics that prevents this?

    For one thing we could build trucks much much bigger if we wanted to, we could build them as big as tankers if we wanted to, and in the middle of the desert it would not be hard to get permission.

    we would never build them that big because we would just build more pipes, or send multiple trucks, or dig a trench, or dig a canal, or any numerous options.

    they would just be expensive relative to the free pass through the strait.

    But if that strait is no longer free the relative price goes down and the oil makes enough money to cover it a thousand times over.

    Really, it's not economical or practical to do this in the slightest. Laws of physics have fuck all to do with it. Also, a giant hole in that genius plan of yours is that Iran can just bomb this infrastructure like they're doing with all the other infrastructure in the region right now. But thank you for taking your valuable time away from sniffing glue to grace us with your invaluable insight.

    Iran can't bomb Shit without missiles, do you understand how defeationist this is? Like oh no we can't go to war with a country that is building an atomic bomb and chanting death to America an waging war on civilization and torturing civilians because it is physically impossible to build a pipe or drive a truck.

    I love how you scumbags think that you can just invade countries whenever you like without any consequences. Last I checked it's the burger reich that has the second most nuclear weapons in the world, and the only country depraved enough to actually use them. And you suck fucks run a literal torture camp on a territory you annexed from Cuba. You don't get to talk about human rights. Your regime is responsible for the worst human rights abuses in human history. Your whole shithole country was founded on a genocide. And yeah, you losers can't defeat Iran just like you couldn't defeat Vietnam, Korea, Afghanistan, or Yemen. You're just a bunch of fascist losers and you can get fucked.

    Morality ladies and gentlemen, this is what he thinks is moral, being a terrorist apologetic.

    I'm not apologizing for the burger reich and the atrocities it commits. The first thing you fucks did was kill over a hundred kids when you attacked Iran completely unprovoked. You are a terrorist state, and you deserve everything that's coming to you.

    I doubt you actually care about Iranians much more than the US government does, and it cares about Iranians exactly as much as it cares about Palestinians, which is fuck-all. So take your crocodile tears and shove them.

    Iran can’t bomb Shit without missiles

    Good thing Iran has a fuckton of them in stock still and a large industry cranking out more.

    If you’re getting your information from US spokespeople or corporate media, then you’re being grossly misinformed, because that’s what their job is. Nothing whatsoever has changed since the “weapons of mass destruction” con, ~23 years ago.

    waging war on civilization and torturing civilians

    That is what is called “manufacturing consent.” Consent for what? Consent for war with Iran, just like they manufactured consent for war with Iraq ~23 years ago.

    Stop being a patsy for empire.

    But if they don't have missiles, why don't you just ship the oil through hormuz?
