This is not going to help their situation with America and Israel. The few people in both governments who actually want to stop all this bullshit are only going to get trampled by the people pushing for a conflict. To them, it's just further evidence that an attack is necessary.
Nobody can help each other up when everyone's knocked on the floor.

Iran was going to have to stop selling it eventually any way because of the embargo, they've just stopped early to piss everyone off, and to be honest they have every right to considering how bullshit the embargo is.
Oh god this is gonna cause a war isn't it oh god

Exactly. The situation's deteriorated to a point where they can do stuff like this and still have every reason to, yet the fact that they are actually doing it is just going to give them further things to justify further acts with.
It's a horrid vicious cycle of retalliation, pacification, attack and retalliation.
Oh no! It looks like you Brits and Frenchies are going to have to use....

Seriously though you guys have great public transportation, this will affect only a few people who drive too much anyways.

both of these nations import <3% of their oil from Iran, it'll hardly affect anything at all[/QUOTE]
That's still a shitload of oil.

We already embargoed their oil effective in June, this just brings it forward a few months
Nice try Iran
Maybe this will finally be the motivation for the U.S to drill in Alaska and the Gulf. If they're shutting down their European oil exports, they'll probably cut us by a lot as well.

Great public transportation my ass, that's why trains are too crowded and buses are getting to be as bad.

It was so they could find new contracts, and Iran cut it off before they could do that so prices would rise. Ultimately it benefits Iran.

It uses less than everyone using individual cars. If you had a really good public transportation system, with reasonable ticket pricing (so not the UK :v:) it would actually work out really well. Of course, we all love the mobility that personal vehicles provide, so it's never going to happen.

I drive my car everyday, it goes where i want it to when i want it to, not at specific times and on pre determined routes that don't change in the event of traffic.
I sit in my car with ample room and can have company from people i want to give lifts too.
It costs me about £20 a week to fill up the fuel i use, if i was to use a bus to go to work and back it'd cost me near enough £30 a week. That £10 extra a week is a pretty big deal given our countys current state.
Public transport is a pain in the ass and way to expensive, as someone living in a country that "this won't affect", i can bloody well tell you it will. Petrol is already stupidly high in price and earlier this week, Diesel went up higher in price than ever before. Our stuggling economy does not need this, neither does the "Frenchies" either.

They're doing this because it gives Iran the ability to choose the time.

We technically have the cheapest fuel in Europe, but it's made expensive by the ridiculous amount of duties on fuel. Hell atleast the French have good public transport, ours is absolutely terrible.

Public Transport in the UK: The only choice if you need to be late, not quite where you need to be and want to pay through the nose for it.
Except in London (and maybe some other big cities).
Funny. I just wrote an essay on this subject. Did any of you consider the fact that Biofuels/ Renewable fuels would mean that we could cut trade and diplomatic depencies and ties with the Arabian peninsula. If America wants to keep fucking everything up for everyone else, renewable energy is the only way since right now, they're trying to be BBFs with half of Arabia while raping the other half.
Not to mention that economically fucked nations like Romania would suddenly become an economic superpower. Imagine that. But real Americans have no interests in that as long as they can drive their 1-mile-a-gallon RangeRovers everywhere, right?
It would resolve a lot of problems regarding poverty and squalor too. Since farmers would be behind the industry now, wealth would also be more evenly distributed and Arabian Nations wouldn't intimidate anyone for shit with another 1973 embargo. Another one of those on the US now and it's going to burn up and disintegrate.

Iran's oil only represents 3% of the consumption in France, so nice try here too :v:

I couldn't even read your post without laughing my ass off.
So what happens when the farmers form an corporation/council and en'mass refuse to sell corn, wheat, and other grown products? Not only would it effect your biofuel production, but at the same time you would be bargaining with food supplies... Good luck trying to maintain peace and order with that!
In regards to renewable energy... Yes. It's a feasible point of usage if it was installed along-side the construction industry, but the way most people aim their guns they want to shoot for 'Wind Farms' which on a large-scale is impractical and just uses up way to much space for the amount of energy it puts out.
Which reminds me... Stop with Anti-American shit, we hate most of our government as much as you do.

That's all well and good in the long run, but short term I'll be stuck paying even more to put petrol in my car.
I like how the picture has a guy turning off a valve, as if that's all it took.
