Turks moved ships across land in Istanbul when Bosporus was blocked by Byzantines to stop naval attacks (See the red line with boats)
So why don’t we use their legendary fucking engineering again on the Strait of Hormuz? Just drag the oil tankers across land, easy as fuck
In exchange, we will kindly ask Daddy Trump to send a gazillion dollars into Turkish stocks and launch them straight to the moon 📈🚀

Just put the fries in the bag bro
This is so absurd it might just work 🤷♂️
I went balls deep on Turkish Airlines last week which is an oil sensitive stock so I’m willing to help.
Moronic is being generous
Don’t forgot my sauce again.
It’s being done over land for dry goods. Source: I buy product made in Bahrain. Logistics aside, it’s status quo for now.
Probably better to build a pipeline and just pick up the oil on the other side.
You can’t crash if you don’t report anything
Seems stupid. It’s definitely in the right sub.
Why not just use the eagles?
They should build a canal! It will be the best greatest canal ever built, no one will have ever seen anything like it.
well it’s better to give it a try than to let oil keep going up
WIIIITTNESSS!!!
M o u n t a i n s
Puts on the Theodosian wall, calls on Dardanelles Cannon
What if we build a launch pad and use rockets to launch the oil around the world.
Why don’t they just teleport it, are they stupid?
The problem is not “getting through the strait”
The problem is ” the strait is within striking distance”
So any solution still within striking distance is bad
I fell asleep about two thirds of the way through “Fitzcarraldo,” but I assume everything turned out all right in the end
Erdoğan does NOT have it like that lil bro
Without the petrodollar. Americans have become the new europoors.
Is too dumb
For
Wsb possible???

This is stupid. The smart idea is to build a Hormuz Canal so ships can sail through it, like the Suez.
easy as fuck
America doesn’t even need oil from the middle east. We have oil all over our country.
Mad max irl

Iran will still hit land targets
I should rewatch Fitzcarraldo
I cant tell if youre trolling but someone did the napkin math in another post somewhere of how many trucks it would take utilize land vehicle transportation.
The rough numbers was something like 120,000 trucks
For reference amazon only has ~60,000 and it took them about 3-4 years to scale to that volume across the entire US.
Time isnt the only issue its a physical space issue – at 60,000 its already very common to see these trucks across the entirety of the US. You think we can take double that volume and put it in a country thats as big texas plus some states? We’re not even talking roads yet
Its either pipelines or trains. I dont know how trains fair in a desert climate so probably gonna have to be pipes. Across that span of distance without many roads? Yeeeesh good luck
uhm mountains?????
I think Ragnar did this in France as well. Calls on viking longships
Even better, everyone from WSB get together in a looooong line and pass the oil down one 5-gallon bucket at a time. I’m going to call it: “Diamond Hands Across Dubai”!
Bro don’t remind me of 1453, too soon
Yep just need oil to hit $300 a barrel and we’re there
Somebody said don’t forget my sauce again and I think that’s going to be the new phrase with the fries in bag
