This one is more economic viable
this’d be a triumph
I have a better solution.
Why not build a long city from Pickup point to Drop Off point,
with two rows of 500 meter tall skyscrapers to shield Iranian drones from entering,
and then have an oil pipeline go through it in the middle?I call it, ‘the line’.
Now all we need is a CGI ad.
It would take over 1000 trucks to fill a medium sized tanker ship
running across one of the most inhospitable places on the planet
Why don’t they just use the eagles to fly the oil to
MordorAmerica?Why don’t they just America the whole fucking place, then they can just America the oil through the Strait of America, and do whatever the fuck they want.
Which I guess is kind of the plan if Israel is going to spawn kill every new guy until they are wearing the right colors.
look, we can totally do this. get your grandma’s '97 corolla, throw a few barrels in the trunk and a few on the roof, and get driving. If it runs out of gas, just refine some of the oil and fill up! If it’s due for an oil change, just throw some of the oil in!
Cars in the Gulf are perpetuum mobile
People just don’t understand the scale of these global systems, which is understandable since the numbers are incomprehensible. They think what they see in daily life represents one cell of a giant organism, but its more like one atom.
He didn’t even suggest using blimps, fuckin amateur
blimp drones! we could call them blones!
What if they set up a ramp in front of the mountains and get the boat going really really fast?
A barrel of oil is about 160 litres, and the biggest liquid transporter trucks usually hold about 60000 litres. That’s 375 barrels per truck.
This ain’t going to work.
Carry the tanker ship on a truck
What about like a train?
You mean the train that isn’t there because there are no tracks?
You’re right we could never build a train track impossible for modern day humans. Lol I just like math 131,000 L per dot 111
There is no reason to spend billions of dollars on a rail line that is not needed as long as Zionists do not start an unnecessary war.
Maybe Zionists could stop their death cult beliefs instead of making the rest of us pay for their psycho-fairy tale crap.
“as long as Zionists do not start wars” - which they do, every year or so
It seems like those psychopaths know that their control of America politics is on its last leg so they’re willing to start any war even without the multi-year propaganda campaign that the last major war had.
A rail way is actually cheaper and easier to build than a road.
Barking up the wrong trees here mate.
Did I ever mention the rail vs road cost? Two massively dumb ideas that are infinitely worse than just not killing Iranians.
It’s actually very easy to not kill people and raise energy prices worldwide.
The special explosion proof rails, on the other hand, are really really expensive…
not blowing things up unnecessarily costs way less than any building projects. Even if the rails were built, not a lot of things are stopping it from getting struck by missiles.
I think you’re underestimating the sheer scale of the endeavor. It would need to cross several deserts, a mountain range and an international border. As drawn in the image there’s almost 800km, let’s say, between Abu dabi and Al Ashkara. Being very generous with the geography, a costly project like this could run for $10 MM per Km or about $8 Bn just for the construction (probably more as it would not be a straight line), plus maintenance (in this place it could be up to 30% of the construction cost a year), plus rolling stock and operation costs. Feeding and getting water to those workers would be a logistics nightmare in the middle of the desert. Another couple of billions for unloading and loading facilities that could handle millions of barrels daily, to be built from scratch.
That’s before even reaching the question of timeframes. Rail can be built really fast, but fast is roughly one kilometer of rail a month. Assuming all permits, contracts and administrative load can be fast tracked (it can take years to design and approve a project of this scale), it would take 66 work years (surely distributed between several work crews) to complete a new heavy railway. Which balloons the cost by a 50% factor for each new crew to accelerate construction.
For reference, the Australian, Adelaide to Darwin rail line is 4 times longer than this. Its construction started in 1910 and was finished in 2004. So, Oman-UAE should have this rail in place and operating no sooner than 2045 if they rush very hard.
By the time the new rail is laid out, Israel would’ve completed their genocide of Iran.
Whats a permit? Is that something you need before you bomb a girls school?
5367 truck in 1 hour or 100 truck and 3 days to move it? I think it might work
Give me the gasolene and I’ll spare your lives.
Just walk away.
I will give you safe passage in the wasteland…
Bro just bolt some gigantic quadcopter rotors onto the tankers like in the Avengers.
GET IN

UAE has big money and likes megaprojects, have they started digging a channel between Ras Al-Khaimah and Zaghi? Some tidy profits if they can do it.
If these kingdoms had built a pipeline skirting the strait, I guess it would still have been susceptible to missile & drone attack, and a 500-mile long, deep-underground pipeline was out of the question.
I know Saudi Arabia does have and east west pipeline that they can use to ship oil out and bypass the strait I just assume it doesnt have the capacity to match all the ships that usually take all the oil.
A canal along that approximate path would be “only” 34km. Questionable whether that, or a 500km buried pipeline, would be easier.
I always thought an Emirati Canal would probably make a whole lot of sense whenever Iran gets uppity (or vice versa, in this case).
Sure, it would still be susceptible to attack, but doing so would draw the UAE into war as well, and they’d have the ability to place land-based air defense along its route
i bet that’s what they do if things return to normal
What if we just renamed it gays of Hormuz, bingo world peace.
Certainly doesn’t look very strait either…
Let’s not judge people on their appearance…
rename it like the gulf of america? lol
See you get it you can laugh outside of the box.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
