  3. Here's a good explainer on why the Saudi East-West Oil Pipeline matters so much. It basically breaks it all down. Notably, despite being published today, it does _not_ repeat the Saudi Press claim that the pipeline has been reopened:

    aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/14/w

    Also, at least as of this moment, there's nothing about the pipeline being back online on the SPA website:

    Attached preview is of the Aljazeera story and includes a satellite photograph of a _different_ pipeline pumping station hit by Iranian allies.

  4. Houthis attack Saudi Arabia as Gulf-Iran talks are postponed

    Yemen’s Iran-aligned Houthis launched a new attack on Saudi Arabia on Monday and Gulf Arab states postponed planned talks with Iran, raising concerns the Middle East conflict could spread further ​and threaten global oil supplies. The Houthis on Monday said they fired dozens of missiles and drones at a military airbase in Khamis [...]

  5. Donald Trump's administration is filled with people who are bad planners and thinkers.

    The punditry class is only slightly better than them. Ask them -- administration folks, supporters, and pundits alike -- what to do about the war in Iran and you'll find their answers predicated on hope: hope that a new MOU will solve everything; hope that there's a pain point in which Iran's leaders will capitulate; hope that a ground war seizing some islands will be leverage to cause Iran to capitulate; hope that if enough IRGC and leadership are killed, the rest will cave; etc., etc., etc..

    There is only one way out: Walk away.

    It's not a good solution at all -- there is no such thing here -- but it is the best available, and all the downsides are built in already, no matter how long we wait. And, we don't have time on our side. So stop believing in the bullshit. The hard truth is, we've already lost and the longer we stay, the worse it gets.

    THIS IS SO BAD

    This is one of the pumping stations on the now-shut-down Saudi Arabia East-West Pipeline, a before and after.

    This is how they've been keeping exports going since Shitstain's War handed Iran the Strait of Hormuz

    I've got a free link for the text, original headline and large image below:

    It doesn't have the before and after photo, which I give you below. I honestly don't really understand how oil isn't $120-$130 a barrel right now.

    (ETA: See replies for a Saudi statement claiming to have the pipeline running again, and my thoughts on that.)
