Well Israel has been saying they would have nukes in a few weeks time (for decades now). I think what Israel meant is they will have nukes whether they like it or not…

It is possible but not just because of Israel, this is literally a WW3 flashpoint. Let me show you what the effect is on the world markets right now, it’s not JUST oil, these things are not flowing out of the strait as well and the arrow to the right shows what else will be having shortages.
And so on and so on… the list could keep going for a bit. I think medicine would also have some issues as the production of medicine often involves urea at points to transfer nitrogen groups from 1 molecular part to another, same with ammonia.

If Iran had absolutely zero intention to enrich its 400kgs of uranium hexafloride, they absolutely do now. After all the backstabbing, assassinations and war crimes.
So there is a very high chance we see the use of a dirty bomb from Iran or a tactical nuke from Israel being used

Mmmm, no they aren’t. No one is ready for that.

What’s crazy is they always know beforehand, just like with Covid.

If (god forbid) nuclear weapons are used by Israel or the US in the middle east, what’s going to dissuade Putin from using them in Ukraine? Or Xi from using them in Taiwan?

Would China/Russia ‘ignore’ a nuclear weapon being used?
Not even Russia in the spectacular failure of there 3 day war, millions of lives lost, equipment destroyed on massive scale & facing actual defeat in Ukraine has used a nuclear weapon, theyve threatened to use one if Ukraine gets support — and they’ve still not.
The whole point of them is if you use them basically the world ends, so it’s too horrific to even consider using them — but the insurance policy is you have them to destroy someone should they be so utterly insane enough to actually use one.
is Trump actually that irresponsible?… Ahh we’re fucked, all because an 80 year old pedophile refuses to be outted today and he’s so terrified that he may just remove the possibility of there being a tomorrow.

Crude oil → fuels (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil), plastics, lubricants
Refined petroleum products → transportation (airlines, shipping, trucking), power generation
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) → electricity generation, industrial heat, fertilizers (ammonia production)
Ethylene → polyethylene plastics, packaging, bottles, synthetic fibers
Propylene → polypropylene plastics, automotive parts, resins, coatings
Butadiene → synthetic rubber, tires, adhesives, elastomers
Benzene → styrene (polystyrene plastics), detergents, resins, synthetic fibers
Methanol → formaldehyde (resins, plywood), fuels, solvents, antifreeze, chemical intermediates
Ammonia → fertilizers (urea, ammonium nitrate), explosives (industrial blasting)
Urea → fertilizers, animal feed supplements, industrial chemicals
Phosphates → fertilizers, detergents, food additives
Sulfur → sulfuric acid (fertilizers, batteries, chemicals), chemicals, pharmaceuticals
Chlorine → PVC plastics, water treatment, bleach, disinfectants
Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) → paper/pulp, aluminum refining, soaps, detergents
Aluminum (some Gulf exports) → automotive, aerospace, construction, packaging
Ethane/propane → petrochemical feedstocks, plastics, heating fuel
