Trump is depriving the people of the world of fuel

Unless America is prepared to impose its illegal naval blockade permanently, it will be impossible for the aggressor nation to cow us.

We have spent years learning to resist and subvert US pressure and sanctions.

America's navy is already stretched thin and will soon find itself overextended.

Our forces have deprived the US of access to their usual regional bases, so the Americans must resupply from distant Diego Garcia, which has now reverted sovereignty from the UK to the Republic of Mauritius.

The expense and difficulty incurred by the American pirates is not sustainable.
 
When, on 28 February, 2026, a U.S.–Israeli attack against Iran began and the Strait of Hormuz was effectively taken out of circulation, it was no longer just a geopolitical flare-up—the world entered a phase in which “energy exists, but it no longer reaches the consumer.”

But the issue goes even further.

This is not merely a supply crisis; it marks the beginning of a forced retreat on the scale of the global economy.

The Strait of Hormuz—a chokepoint through which roughly one-fifth of the world’s oil passes—has now become ground zero of the crisis. In previous shocks, prices surged because markets were afraid. This time, however, it is not fear—it is the absence of flow. Between 7 to 10 million barrels of oil per day have been removed from circulation—not because they do not exist, but because they cannot reach their destination.

This is where a decisive shift occurs:
  • The market is no longer regulated by “price,” but redefined by “scarcity.”
  • The effects of this disruption quickly became visible—at the pump.
Between 23 February and 13 April, 2026, gasoline prices in several countries experienced unprecedented spikes.

Myanmar saw a 101% increase, the Philippines 72.6%, and Malaysia 68.1%, placing Southeast Asia at the epicenter of fuel inflation.

But this was only the beginning.

In the United States, gasoline prices rose by more than 35%; in Canada, nearly 29%; and across Europe—from Sweden to the United Kingdom—double-digit increases were recorded.

At the same time, diesel prices surged in major economies, sending a clearer signal: the crisis was no longer confined to fuel—it was spreading across the entire economy.
