Since Donald Trump decided to attack Iran, the cost of diesel has risen by over 40 pence per litre, or around 30%. The World economy is in big trouble, while innocent people are being killed in Iran for no apparent reason.

Did the US attack simply because Trump is a moron / he is Benjamin Netanyahu's lapdog / he was trying to distract us from the Epstein files *(*delete as appropriate).

A special thanks to Donald and to the 77million people in the US who voted for him.

@IndyRichard : since 77million people in the US who voted for Trump made him POTUS, many (possibly millions) more people have died, are starving or injured, and/or lost their homes.

But let's worry about diesel prices!

@ErikvanStraten @IndyRichard It's not the diesel alone, it's what follows from it. And it is not just fuel.

The biggest losers from the Iran War are buyers of diesel, jet fuel, chemicals and fertilizer

@MyricaGale : sjeesh.

since 77million people in the US who voted for Trump made him POTUS, MANY (possibly MILLIONS) more PEOPLE have DIED, are STARVING or INJURED, and/or LOST THEIR HOMES.

But let's worry about diesel prices and the economic consequences!

Ah I get it, you were joking (April Fools Day) (andsoamI).

@IndyRichard look let's just make the US pay reparations to the world like any other rogue country... and if they don't comply --> boots on ground, regime change!!
@IndyRichard Embrace the power of AND.
@IndyRichard No need to delete anything, all 3 of those reasons can be (and are) true at the same time
@IndyRichard Probs simply because Putin told him to. ("Distract from Ukraine" wasn't in your list, but that's my guess.)
@TimWardCam I think that Putin has the same info on Trump that Netanyahu has. A man unable to control his sexual urges makes for a compromised president.
@IndyRichard All of the above but mostly the Epstein files, and that failed as well.
