The Trump Energy Crisis

March 9, 2026 Hunter Wallace Conservatism, donald trump, Economy, Energy, Foreign Policy, Geopolitics, Iran, Israel, MAGA, MIGA, Politics, Populists, The Jewish Question, World 50

I’ve been fair to Donald Trump.

Last year, I am sure those of you in the comments will recall that I gave him credit for a few accomplishments: bringing down illegal immigration, low gas prices and avoiding a war with Iran. Even though I saw it coming this year, I never imagined that it would be this bad.

In the span of a week, Trump has started a regional war for Israel and has gotten all our bases in the Middle East blown up by Iran. He has spiked the global price of oil over $100 a barrel. Oil futures were trading at $119 a barrel when I went to sleep last night. Bitcoin, silver, gold, global stock markets are crashing. Middle Eastern countries like Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar are cutting oil and natural gas production.

Trump is crashing the global economy, losing a war against Iran and probably destroying the petrodollar by proving we don’t have the ability to protect our Gulf allies. He did it all for Israel.

  1. DOJ has shutdown PRESSTV.COM
    Now the Iranians are claiming (via Hindustan times) >500 US troops have been killed .

    • US dead are clearly higher than reported. Watch for “accidents” of all kinds: plane crashes, car crashes, medical incidents, injuries sustained at work, etc. – such as this report. Yes the Iranians are naturally inflating the figures for Murika and Israhell. As Churchill spilled the beans (probably drunk at the time): The first casualty of war is the truth. – and that was back in the “good old days”.

      • Just like during the Grenada folly, a unit of SEALs trying raft onto the island got lost and drowned. They later were all killed in various car accidents in Panama. Well that was the story they used to cover up the drowning.

      • Oh good grief. The copium with you third worlders. You actually believe the Mad Mullahs saying hundreds of US troops are dead and the faith is ever victorious. Peak retard levels here Exalted. You know better than listen to the Mad Mullahs.

        • Nobody said that. They just pointed out that the Epstein Empire of Lies is doing what comes more naturally than drawing breath – lying. The mullahs are over-stating Empire losses and understating their own. It’s been interesting watching the shuck-n-jive Cheetohead is doing over the 175 dead girls. He started off saying the Iranians did it with one of their own missiles, then when the tomahawk pic emerged – pants still aflame he switched and said it could be anyone because Epstein Empire sold tomahawks.

  2. The above:
    “Frank McCormick
    The U.S. gets 10% of its oil from the Middle East.
    China gets 55%.”

    Total BS, China gets the great bulk of its oil from Russia. Something on the order of 12% comes from the Mideast.

    Who wants an empty token without substance?

    There are now tokens backed by gold , silver and the Swiss Franc. Why would anyone want a nothing token ?

  6. Trump doesn’t get it. If an American high school kid in the 70’s can build a nuclear reactor from junk yard scrap, and was working on a nuclear bomb when discovered. The Iranian engineers can surely build a bomb!

    • ” kid in the 70’s can build a nuclear reactor ”

      All he did was collect a bunch of old radium parts and make a radioactive mess. He didn’t have a viable reactor, much less a way to refine u235 or any other fissionable material.

  9. Iran lacks the power to directly engage US forces as things stand. So their only option now is to keep shooting at soft targets. Either they kill enemy civilians and vital infrastructure, or they eat up countermunitions and set up future strikes to be more effective.

    I don’t think there’s any way to “win” this war without destroying the vital industry of that whole region. Make sure you stock your chest freezers before the economic crisis REALLY begins.

  10. Britain threw away a vast Empire to rescue a few million Jews in Poland. The US is now throwing away an Empire to rescue 6,000,000 Jews in Palestine.

    Reply

    • Except that it wasn’t the British who threw it away, it was the owners of the British who did so. Likewise for Murika, most of the chumps here never asked for an empire but their owners wanted it, so now it will go down the toilet as well. It’s probably for the best – IF the founding stock (the literal ‘posterity’ mentioned in the long-dead constitution) comes out of its haze of believing shit is gold and gold is shit. In an odd sense, it’s kind of hard to put the whole blame on the (((marchands joyeux))) for the shitshow since they’re literally cursed. Thus Every. Single. Time. it will end this way.

  11. Iran is being decimated. This is the most brutal bombing since the firebombings of 1943-1945. They cannot last much longer.

    West Texas Oil now at 85 dolla a barrell. We can live with that, but it still means recession beginning in Q2 2026.

    Is is very possible that the Mad Mullahs chose the son because none of the other candidates were stupid enough to want the job.

        Yes and a lot more manipulation, stocks and bonds via the likes of Black Rock, Chase etc.
        Treasury and fed reserve have covert market making operations, all is not what it appears

  12. This latest article will not age well. The Iranians are not blowing up US bases all over the region unless you consider a few drones getting thru to hit a cafeteria or latrine. Meanwhile, the Iranian refineries are all on fire and destroyed and their massive tanker farms are up in flames the smoke blanketing Iran from space and raining oil on the cities. Yeah, big win by the Mullah Sand N@ggers.

    Reply

    • I will take your bet.

      Even if Iran unconditionally surrendered right now, which isn’t going to happen, it would take weeks if not months for the flow of oil in the Persian Gulf to return to what it was before Trump started this stupid conflict. They can flood the market with reserves to bring down the price to ease the pain and buy some time, but it isn’t going to stop what is coming.

        Everything will mostly be back to normal by August. Oil tankers will soon be shipping again. A brand new American Lloyd’s of London style syndicate will be established. A new security architecture will be created in the region featuring Israel and Iran.

        As to the later, Iran may even have a new government by then, but they probably won’t have dominant control until October or November and will still be fighting the Mullahs for years.

        But, that’s when my people get in, afterwards. The campaig to kill ALL the Mullahs. Not one fighting Mad Mullahs will be left on this planet after it’s completed. They will all be dead and their books and schools burned to the ground. They want jihad? They are going to get it. Brought to you by Trump Mau’dib.

  13. So via some sort of av link the emergency committee selected a successor to the Krispy Krittered Grand Ayatollah Khoemeni. Apparentely there was a non voting representative of the OD Commentariate giving their thumbs up to the selection at the scene.

    Okay, so which one of you punks was it? Which one of you was there? I don’t think it was Hunter, we know where he is and his coms. He has good IT skills, but not that good. So unless he has a prepositioned star link system and evaded eyes on observation getting to it, not him.

    I am thinking it was November aka Ali Shitbagi, an Iranian Sand N@gger pretending to be a Mexican, masquerading as a Nazi Fuentes butt licker White Papist from the Midwest. It was you wasn’t it November? Don’t lie. So what exactly is your relationship to the new Grand Ayatollah, Ali Shitbagi?

  14. PANIC!! lol. The oil situation is bad, boy I love relying on barbaric scum for our fuel source. God forbid our country was self-sufficient on this, oh well. The rest of the stonk “futures” and shitcoin casinos going up in flames is pretty funny in my opinion. Everyone knew Dump would do the things he’s doing. But yeah, pretty blatant in your face I’m all in for israel at the expense of my entire legacy but then again I guess it looks better than say being a literal traitor to America by pimping young women to a mossad honey pot.

    Reply

    • You do realize that the United States is actually self-sufficient in oil, don’t you? The supply isn’t actually the problem. It’s who controls the supply that’s the problem. Our resident hasbara has already crowed about how Iran’s oil is the rightful property of the U.S. (which really stands for “Usual Suspects” aka Epstein Empire of Lies). The oil located in the former United States is likewise the property of the U.S. Even under the oil-racketeering system described as “free-market capitalism” the former republic only imports about 10% of its oil form the middle-east. The deal set up before the dreaded Ayatollah toppled the Epstein-Pahlavi regime was thar OUR GREATEST ALLY received a lifetime supply of FREE OIL. In short, it’s even worse than you think.

    Gold and silver are not “crashing”. The usual suspects pull all manner of tricks to knock prices down (so they can get idiots to panic-sell and buy it up on the cheap, an ancient practice of theirs) but the price keeps coming back. The price needs to be completely de-coupled from all of the derivatives and other speculative bullshit cooked by the the U.S. (e.g. Usual Suspects). Some folks not owned by them buy the dips – maybe this guy

  17. The thing to really watch for during this “crisis” is who is gaining the most monetarily and it can’t just be duh israel, which is obvious. Like who specifically, for example I just read today that Dump’s sons have a stake in a military drone startup, I’m not a business guy but that sounds like it’s already that’s going to pay off. I figured Dump’s greedy ass couldn’t resist dipping into that corrupt as shit pentagram money pit. Peter Thiel who really flies under the radar publicly is definitely going to add to his already immense fortune with this war (with surveillance technology if I remember right) like Ukraine. A very astute OD commenter previously mentioned the great Smedley D. Butler, this war is just another racket, especially the real ****ing tired sales pitch of destroying comic book evil lairs with phantom WMD’s.

    I wish there some kind of anti-tax movement in this country, especially with a military budget accountable to no one and foreigners getting complete government benefits and stealing on top of it with government help (In my state the scum just spend with no limit, most major cities here all go in the red every fiscal year). Anywho, look beyond the fog of war propaganda and fog of ideology because we’re, ONCE AGAIN, getting another government mandated wealth transfer more like ****ing robbery.

  19. ZOG isn’t “losing”. To lose, they would have to be suffering major losses in men and equipment, and that is not happening. They might have to take another break to replenish missile stocks. Maybe even more people despise USrael now, but what the hell are they gonna do about it? This does put it on a faster path to bankruptcy, which is probably the only thing that will stop it.

    Reply

    • To be crystal clear, the definition of “losing” a war with Iran is 1.) proving to America’s Gulf allies that we lack the means to defend them which would take out the petrodollar and 2.) the disruption of the flow of oil in the Persian Gulf and the damage to energy infrastructure creating an Oil Shock that triggers a global recession.

      • @Hunter Wallace,

        I know you are waking giddy, clenching your fists, and hoping every morning, smiling angrily, thinking like the Grinch, how to explain to the masses of the proletariate this is the day Orange Man Bad gets its. Hunter, sorry to tell you, but you have a fatal amount of TDS.

        “1.) proving to America’s Gulf allies that we lack the means to defend them which would take out the petrodollar and 2.) the disruption of the flow of oil in the Persian Gulf and the damage to energy infrastructure creating an Oil Shock that triggers a global recession.”

        99% of Iranian ballistic missiles are shot down by US and it’s allies. Very soon 99% of Iranian launchers will join the hundreds of tier 1 Iranian leadership in the ash heap of destruction. The Iranian navy and air force are destroyed, US submarines are sinkkng enemy ships like it’s WWII again, and the Iranian army in shambles. The only thing holding trading ships back aren’t Iranians, it’s financiers and their corporations cuz regulations. Which is weird cuz you guys all say the Jews run that stuff but its refusing to work. So go riddle me that.

        There isn’t going to be a global recession caused by a temporary spike in oil prices cuz shipping companies don’t want to pay the increased insurance costs cuz regulation words. That’s a lot of cuzes. If the global economy is that fragile, a butterfly could be just as responsible and we’ll just blame antisemitism for hurting butterflies and the global economy, and everyone will hate you. But dont worry it’s not gonna happen.

        Trump is going to win this campaign. The Mad Mullahs will be replaced. Iran will become a major Israeli and America ally and together with our other allies, we will totally dominate the Middle East. The GOP will win the midterms, and Trump may run for a third term. You will die of TDS, if so don’t successfully deprogram you. It’s time for a family intervention.

  22. If I were to listen in after all, then only because of Brimelow. https://counter-currents.com/2026/03/counter-currents-radio-podcast-no-679/

    Btw., you can surefire recognize weak minds by their internalized use of language that conveys self-imposed helplessness and powerlessness, but above all by their unreflective, flawed “thought patterns.”

    Recently, I had the brilliant idea of adding the word “Even” to the beginning of almost all of the sentences uttered by one of these pathological anxiety neurotics, who is full of negativity about life and whose sentences almost always begin with “(But what) if this or that (bad thing) happens?”

    This would transform the curved question mark into an upright exclamation mark. However, I believe that the quote in my last question to the AI is not from Mark Twain, but from Ralph Waldo Emerson (Dale Carnegie, whom I have never really read, is also mistakenly credited with it).

  23. We are finding out too late why this war was wisely avoided for so many years. If Trump isn’t out of his mind, he’s definitely owned by the Zionists. Anyway, it demonstrates perfectly why no one person should have the power to unilaterally declare war. The Founders understood that too.

  27. Tuesday afternoon, Texas Crude at 86 dolla. The world has many times the amount of oil that is currently used. Most of the wells in the world have been capped off, waiting for higher prices.

    Russia can easily double production in a short time. Texas can pump way more.

    The definition of losing a war is not that gas prices went higher. That just isn’t a reasonable definition of losing a war. I think we probably will have higher prices for awhile, and thus a recession, and will win the war at the same time.

    No one has even seen, in person or on video, the new Supreme Idiot, son of the old Supreme Idiot. So everyone is wondering, is he even alive? Maybe not. The yids surely know. Half the turbans in Iran are on the Mossad payroll.

    Some Tennessee Congresscritter just said no Muslims belong in America. The point is obvious to any loyal American, but this guy had the courage to day it. Good for him.
