Strait of Hormuz: Iran, Gulf Oil and the Conflict Map

It is possible that Russia and China will also enter this war on the side of the Iranians.

This is World War III.

This map, even if you don't really know the war, even if you don't know the participants,

even if you don't know the weaponry, this map will tell you exactly how this war will progress.

All right? So some certain things to keep in mind about this map.

This is what we call, this area, okay, really small but it's 33 kilometers wide, okay?

People can swim across it. It's really, really, um, uh, narrow, okay?

This small area, guys, it's called the Strait of Hormuz.

All right?

And it's important because it's really the center of the world.

This one area is the nexus, the pivot of the world.

Let me explain why.

First of all, from the GCC, you have 20% of all the world's oil flowing through this narrow strait.

Where does it go, guys? It goes to Asia, India, Pakistan, South Korea, China, Japan.

India depends on 60% of its oil from this area.

China depends on 40%. Japan, 75%.

Prime Minister Takeichi of Japan has said that,

listen, if the Strait of Hormuz closes, we run out of oil in about eight, nine months.

The entire Japanese economy would collapse in eight, nine months if the Strait of Hormuz were to close.

And guess what? The Iranians have closed the Strait of Hormuz.

Okay?

So we can expect that the entire global economy will suffer greatly over the next few months.

All right? So that's point number one.

Point number two is, okay, so the GCC sends oil across the Strait of Hormuz,

and what do they get back in return? Food, guys.

All right, so people don't appreciate the GCC, but it is really the linchpin of the American empire.

Because what is the American empire? The American empire is the petrodollar.

All right? The idea of the petrodollar is this: the US dollar is worth nothing.

It's only valuable if people want it.

But the GCC says that if you want oil from us, you have to pay us in US dollars.

Okay? Then that is the basis of the value of the US dollar.

So, if the GCC collapses, the American economy and the American empire both collapse at the same time.

The problem though is the GCC is an artificial construct of empire. It does not exist naturally.

Why? Because it has no food, it has no oil... no water. Okay guys? No food, no water.

So these cities are able to grow up in the millions because of all these petrodollars flowing in.

If you close off the Strait of Hormuz, there's no food coming in, right? They're all gonna starve.

How much food does the GCC get from overseas? 80%.

80% of all the food it consumes comes from overseas, that it imports.

It does not grow by itself, it imports. All right?

So the Strait of Hormuz is really key. And again, the Iranians will close it

in order to strangle the global economy and therefore bankrupt the American empire. All right.

Second thing you will notice is these mountains. These mountains is what we call Iran.

All right, this is Iran. This is GCC.

Okay, this is not a fair matchup, right? Because these are mountains.

And what can you do in mountains? You can hide rocket bases. You can hide drone bases. You can hide missiles.

And that's the entire Iranian offensive strategy. All right?

From here, they can hide missiles and drones from which to attack the GCC.

And what are they attacking? They're attacking, um, three things, right?

They're attacking American military bases.

American military bases. That's number one.

Okay? Is it possible for the Americans to defend against these attacks? The answer is no!

They're not... it's not! It's the silliest thing in the world.

You have all these bases in the Middle East, but you cannot defend them against the Iranians. That's kind of strange.

Okay, but that's number one. Number two is oil and energy.

How hard is it to blow up an oil field with a drone? Not hard at all.

Can you defend these oil fields? No, you cannot. All right?

Number three, and this is most important, is water.

Okay? You guys don't know this, but the GCC has little access to fresh water.

So the only way that it can produce water is what we call desalination plants, okay?

These factories that take salt water and then through an electrical chemical process turn it into fresh water for the population to use.

60% of the water supply in the GCC comes from desalination plants, okay? 60%.

Is it hard to blow up a desalination plant using a drone? The answer is, it's very easy. You understand.

Okay? So you have this absurd situation where Iran is a mountain fortress

where it can hide its offensive capacity,

and the GCC, it's just this desert, this flat desert, and it is exposed to attack

and there's nothing it can do about it. Okay?

So at any point in this war, the Iranians can choose to just destroy the entire GCC

and there's nothing that anyone can do about it.

Okay. But Iran also has a weakness, okay? And this is fundamental.

So Iran also has a water problem, okay? So for the longest time, they suffered a drought issue.

Okay? Just climate change.

And so, what the plan of the Israelis and Americans is, is to destroy the water supply of the Iranians.

Because the fortress... it is a mountain fortress, but it can also be a mountain prison as well

where people are trapped inside with no access to water.

Okay? So what we're going to see right now, we're already seeing attacks on civilian infrastructure, hospitals.

In the future, you will see attacks on water supply, on dams, on reservoirs, on power plants.

The point, the idea is to make Iran so uninhabitable that the people will have to rebel against the people

or there'll be a refugee crisis in Iran. Okay?

So as you can see from this map, this war, it is the end of the world.

Okay? Both sides have the potential to destroy each other. It's really a question of how far do they want to go.

All right? We can also say this is almost a game of chicken.

Okay? We can blow... we can blow each other up. How far do you want to go?

And the problem is this. The problem is that the Iranians are Shia, which believes in martyrdom.

And you've killed their religious leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei. So they're willing to go very, very far.

The GCC countries are Muslim, but they're materialistic. They love money. And also, most of the population are expatriates, foreigners.

90% of Dubai are foreigners. Guess what's going to happen if they suffer? They're going to run away.

Okay? So this is not a fair matchup.

The big question that people have is, first of all, are the Americans going to use ground troops?

Because the only way that you can defeat Iran is by using ground troops, okay? That's a big question we'll look at over the next few weeks.

Will America send its army, half a million, two million soldiers to topple the government? Okay, that's question number one.

Question number two: nuclear weapons.

If you're losing a war, would you choose to use nuclear weapons? Okay? That's another big question that we have, okay?

Another big question that we have is who gets involved? Because this situation is so dire

that Europe, okay, specifically Germany, France, and Britain are talking about entering this war.

And guess what?

If that happens, it is possible that Russia and China will also enter this war on the side of the Iranians.

This is World War III. Okay?

Because of the importance of the Strait of Hormuz, because of the importance of the Middle East.
