The Ants Are Marching

donnie's got himself in a real fix this time.

Twenty percent of the oil needed by the world economy is gone.

And it will be gone until Iran surrenders unconditionally.

But Iran doesn't need to surrender because, according to donnie, there isn't much more to bomb, so, not surrendering is pretty painless, maybe even pointless.

So, Iran is not going to surrender.

So, the straits will stay closed.

And the world will not get its oil.

And the world economy will tank.

And that is all donnie's fault.

He'll blame it on Hegseth, but it's donnie's fault.

So, he'll order the Navy to escort the tankers.

For that to work the insurance companies will need to be willing to write policies.

It's doubtful that they will.

But if they do, the policies will be so expensive nobody will buy them.

So, the oil won't go to market.

And the world will not get its oil.

And the world economy will tank.

And that is all donnie's fault.

He'll blame it on Hegseth, but it's donnie's fault.

So, he'll send in the troops.

Muslims really hate crusaders.

Urban warfare is house by house.

Can you spell "thousands and thousands of dead Americans"?

So, the oil won't go to market.

And the world will not get its oil.

And the world economy will tank.

And that is all donnie's fault.

He'll blame it on Hegseth, but it's donnie's fault.

And the preceding words are only a single thread of a developing multi-thread catastrophe: India and Pakistan may have to go to war with Iran, for example.

Both countries' stability rest on the same foundation: Gulf oil and at a price a lot less than $120 a barrel.

donnie has really kicked the top off a big, mad, red-ant anthill this time.

And the red ants are going to start attacking black ants, and brown ants and honey-colored ants (sounds like the United Nations).

So, the oil won't go to market.

And the world will not get its oil.

And the world economy will tank.

And that is all donnie's fault.

He'll blame it on Hegseth, but it's donnie's fault.

And a lot of ants will die.

And that's a pickle to be in for donnie.

Or a real fix.

donnie's a brilliant bidnessman, though.

Keep saying that; it's kinda like "thank you Jesus".
