Gas Prices Skyrocket, Trump Freaks Out & His Powerlessness Is Exposed: The True War Agenda Revealed

The war in Ukraine and the conflict in the Persian Gulf are not really about nuclear weapons, territorial disputes, or even keeping oil shipping lanes open. The real story, hidden in plain sight, is about refineries. Since the start of these wars, at least seven refineries in the Persian Gulf have been hit, and Ukraine has taken out roughly 60% of Russia’s refining capacity. The result is a global spike in diesel prices—already over $6.50 a gallon in the U.S.—and a cascading effect on the cost of everything moved by truck. The question is why, if the stated goals of these wars are so different, the same critical infrastructure keeps getting destroyed.

The Refinery Bottleneck

The world runs on refined products—gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, fertilizer—not on crude oil. You cannot put crude oil into a diesel engine or an airplane. It must be processed in a refinery, and there are only 825 refineries on the entire planet for 8.3 billion people. That is roughly one refinery for every 10 million people. Building a new one costs around $25 billion and takes over a decade. Destroying one is therefore not a temporary disruption; it is a long-term strategic blow to any economy that depends on it.
