Hey guys. If you're interested, I made a 23-minute long documentary that covers the entire history of the US-Iran conflict which you can watch here on Nebula: bit.ly/3D3KiLn. It's part of my Modern Conflicts series on Nebula, and this is the 7th episode that I've posted over there so far. I'm posting new episodes every month and I have tons of content over there already that I can't post to RUclips, and the best way to get access to all of that is by signing up for the CuriosityStream/Nebula bundle deal, which is only $15 a year at this link: curiositystream.com/?coupon=reallifelore
Thanks!
Keep going bro
Sup
First
Ok
bababoi
So Iran watched the video and America did not.
😂😂😂 Iran knows their strengths. It's silly that you think they have to watch a RUclips video to know what to do. He stated in his video that Iran has threatened long ago that if attacked, they will close the strait.
This type of thinking is what makes you only watch important videos like this after they happen.
Here are some future tips for future wars that America will surely provoke because they don't know how to live in peace: War with China. It will start with a distant maritime blockade of China. Some say it already started by attacking Iran. The Strait of Malaka is the one to keep an eye on.
@nusaibahibraheem8183it was a joke
@nusaibahibraheem8183 no humor
@nusaibahibraheem8183 Shut up😒
@nusaibahibraheem8183 i bet you're fun at parties lol
“No one could have predicted this”
This video is 4 years old.
😂😂😂😂
This and Alternate History Hub's video of "Why invading Iran is a terrible idea", from 6 years ago. If our leaders actually had some kind of basic understanding of history and geopolitics... but alas, here we are...
And the US will lose the war, again!!!
@adamforsstrand2048they should have asked Gemini or some reasoning LLM at least 😂😂😂
I didn’t even realized it until I saw your comment
You think your humor is dark until the algorithm recommends you this 4 years late.
Ahaha - my feed recently started suggesting me how to survive nuclear winter as well. I have a feeling this won't end well 😭😭
The way people talk about the youtube algorithm like it's alive is so fucked up. I know its supposed to be a joke but it feels like absolute content brainrot
@kara-uppercut it's an ai so it's TECHNICALLY alive. By the most technical meaning of technically
@DragonTheOneDZAIt's REALLY not. It can't yet think for itself, nor does it have a Heartbeat... it won't be long though, I'd imagine.
Isn't it just recommending it now because it's currently a trending search?
You wouldn't believe what just happened.
I'm afraid RLL would be the one guy to not only believe it, but the one who was kind of waiting for it :(
You won’t believe what happened 10 days after you said they wouldn’t believe what happened 4 years later.
@Skobingo-f9s Iran: Since you attacked us, meet our demands, or Hormuz stays closed.
Trump: oh yeah? Well we’ll DOUBLE BLOCK it!!!
@najrenchelf2751 We thought RLL was just making fun videos for us.... Bros just been casually warning us for over a decade
I did not search for this, it searched for me...
Same I just got recommended it
only if US president knew how to search videos online.
Heat-seaking content
and I liked this video years ago
same
The RUclips algorithm has a sick sense of humour
you can say that again
How is this supposed to be humorous? It makes all the sense in the world why this video would be getting recommended now. Do you not know how the algorithm works?
How do you not understand that it's being recommended because of the large amount of interest people have surrounding this region? You really think you're being recommended this as a joke? Seriously?
It’s based on traffic and trending videos
I was really surprised, four years old upload
WE'RE IN THE FIND OUT PHASE
For the most incompetent admin ever..... No prep done to wage war. No overstock of petrol or preparing interdiction forces. Not even prepping allies
@Gerbilsmackthe4th WHAT YOU'RE TALKING FELLA
yeah, and it ain't going so well. can't say we weren't warned.
US imposing heavy profits on Russia
I hope we're not dumb enough to be baited into sending troops in 😒
I audibly laughed when I saw the "posted 4 years ago" marker 😂
We need to stop meeting like this
This killed me 😂
Bahahaha goated comment
I swears
At least it’s not a virus..
@calvinprest that's for next year, the pharma companies need to finish making their for-profit vaccine first
“Enough to make America think twice” bold of ya to assume they would think once
This made me lol
Bold of them to assume they can think.
@FirstLast-tj4nl Touche
why should they it dosent effect them
@00powersmokinit sure does
“America think twice” we didn’t even think once
America doesn’t have Brains to think
@AKDUGIfr😂
Oh no the gas prices are a bit high, maybe it would be better to let Iran’s government massacre their whole nation who are calling for help. I’m sure the gas is more important than the lives of 30000 people who died in just 2 days
@violenz8633 who’s gonna tell him Israel massacred far more, shoved metal pipes up prisoners rectums killing them, we immediately bombed a school full of children, and that we are helping Israel kill more innocent civilians. We are not the good guys we are not saving people we are helping in a genocide because our president was promised he could build beach side hotels on the Gaza Strip after.
@AKDUGIcorrect
This one aged like a fine wine.
Recording this weeks world news 4 years in advance is next level.
Yeah for Americans. The rest of the world knew about it.
@supernova82Yeah, we all knew. The comment was that they produced and published a video about it.
How are you that arrogant and dumb at the same time....
@supernova82ok Mr. Knows It All…
@ndb_static_6850no... It's Mr non American to you, kind esteemed sir.
@supernova82sad we knew this was going to happen, and it still happened lmao
This is a crazy algorithm pull
Searched for it ✋🏻
Fr, randomly popped up
Not really bro, look at the keywords in the title! The algo is functioning exactly as designed.
RUclips algorithm pulling out old videos that are relevant to current mediatized situation has been a thing since like forever, but every time it happens every comments are acting like it's the craziest random thing lmfao.
Not really, it depends what subjects people are searching for at any given time.
Oh neat a video about the current-
4 years ago??
Evergreen content
@TheStardivers has that been 4 years already? Damn...
right.. I was like finally- oh
Could have been 8 months ago or 6 years ago
The US is at war in the Middle East? When is it not?
Man, I wonder why this video would be reccomended to me in April 2026...
Yeah I know
Dude, this video aged really well.
Or not, because it could trigger WW3
@d34dw0od5it won't lol
Nothing is new to a student of the past.
I really wish it didn't age this well ...
@StudyBetterForMeah yes, destroying the entire middle east, starving Japan out of oil, invading three countries, and fracturing the entire region of Europe won't start a global economic conflict.
We can all kiss our asses goodbye when "How To Survive Nuclear Winter" videos start to pop up at RUclips main page algorithm.
Im afraid that we dont have the opportunity to view that for the last time if it were to happen😅😰
That's the thing, you don't.
well luckily Iran cant get nukes anymore! don't worry buddy
@krispy3790people like you are the reason we're in this mess
@paulh5986 well people like you woild be fine with religious fanatics having nukes so idk which is worse
“Enough to make America think twice” was a bold assumption.
It can't prevent a guy that doesn't even think once
@Furufoo😂😂
Bold of you to assume the current POTUS actually "thinks".
Emphasis on "think", when one doesn't think, nothing is going to stop one from doing anything at all.
@Furufoo the guy s in the epstein file surely cant think
I guess we’re all here for the same reason 👀
Yep
Ooof2026 🙃
yep mate. wazup!?
😂😂
jep
Yes, you too are scrolling through the comments to look for recent ones 😂
I sure am
How did you know? hahahha mind reader .. are you working for the government?
😭
😂😂😂😂😂
I was scrolling to find your comment and so glad I indeed found it. Now I am reassured I am not the only one 😅😊😊
You did not search this
Searching is a dying thing sadly
That's true it just pop up
Our consent has been manufactured
Unfortunately I didn't
i searched it because i watched this few years ago and finding it was for me quite hard
Damn. Well you and I both know we didn't search this video
Bro even made a call that this vid would be unpromoted due to RUclips's algorithm. But here we are now. Salute
LOL
Gentlemen, we all know why we’ve convened here this evening
Bro you are a week late lmfao
@blah204wooooosh
@clarkiewhoa5027 lmfao, I bet you feel hella stupid now 😂
🎻
Damn it i didnt realise it was 4 years ago
Who else clicked the second they saw 4 years ago on the video about current events
Haha yup!!!
I didn't even look at the upload date and just instinctively assumed it was 4 days 🫠
🖐
Me
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
4 years later Iran is blocking the strait.
Not for peaceful countries
*the USA triggered the closing of the strait
Thanks for letting us know
Ah man watching this in 2026 isn’t feeling great
@bigpoppa6658just chill out & pay more for all food & goods bro! Vital medication delayed? Have you tried not being so high-strung about it?
@bigpoppa6658 Hard to relax if you depend on an income, and that income depends on a commute that depends on gasoline.
@idepartasair And a terrible urban planning that made it difficult to be less dependent on said gasoline.
@bigpoppa6658 you living in your imagination
True
times are scary when lore becomes real life…
Well he he's called real life lore afterall 😂
Say that again?
How is this not the top comment.
This isn't lore. This is the reason no other president was stupid enough to start a war with Iran.
@meoff7602 take an electric toothbrush, stick it up your nose, and lobotomized yourself with it.
I work for the US Government as a Strategist, please make a video on "How to unblock the Strait of Hormuz"
LMAO 😂
Hahahaha the irony of this comment….
Most competent politician rn
Well, when you need to relieve your gut and sphincter of shit.
You first must remove your head from your arse...
Things will flow very well afterwards.
so, get trump, out of usa's leadership, and the world won't be so constipated
elon must of hired another discord mod😭
4 years ago is insane
Crazy how a youtuber can think of all the possible consequences but world leaders fail to do so
They orchestrated this
When you have one group of people (the current Israeli government) that doesn't give a shit about what's going to happen to the world economy and a president that's dumb as f**k, refuses to listen to his advisors, ignores all balances and checks of powers and declares war on his own because daddy Bibi told him to... well, this is the obvious result.
And obviously, Trump fucks around finds out and does the TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out)
@MaJuVeducate yourself please before leaving any comments about a topic that you have no idea. If US didn't try to be a hegemon we could live in a peaceful world. They begin dozens of proxy wars to destabilise power on the globe. Look at the map of US bases around the planet and ask yourself that the actual fuck they do there?
@mr.laniakeaUS want to invade other countries and destroy them, remember Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Iran, Syria and they even do atrocities to the innocent people.
@rizzlemcrizzle9139some of them did for sure. I'm sure not many agreed but two persisting countries was enough to happily jeopardize the whole world.
Luxembourg Motto: "We Want to Remain What We Are"
RLL: you are my measuring stick
France being a measurement unit for trash: first time?
Like Toyota Corollas.
Is that an American thing?
Americans will measure with everything before using the metric system 😆
A stretch of area: *exists
RealLifeLore: Can you put Luxembourg in there?
Luxembourg is the new Toyota Corolla.
@Devlinator61116 *T* *O* *Y* *O* *T* *A*
*T* *O* *Y* *O* *T* *A*
If ever you ask why Nuclear hiding *ISRAEL* hates Iran by it's very core. You found that out here in this video.
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow channel, approximately as wide as 10,415 Toyota Corolla's lined up end-to-end! Or as many new Toyota Corolla's as are sold every 12 days!
I didn't come here to watch the video. I came here cause I saw it was 4 years old and I wanted to see the comments.
"whoever controls this has control over the entire known universe"
**Sad alien noises**
Aliens belong to “unknown universe” 🤣
They didn’t even say that.
Hello, if you are not saved, and would like to be included in the rapture of the church. Believe that Jesus's death on the cross, was enough to pay for ALL your sins , yes ALL ,(past, present and future) That is what the Gospel is about. We are saved by GOD'S amazing grace, through our faith in Jesus's sinless life, death on the cross and resurrection 3 days later . No additional works needed. It is literally that simple. Do it today, don't delay. Time is short. Ephesians 2:8-9 Romans 10:9-10
No Dune references?
KNOWN universe
This video was made 4 years ago and somehow the US military had no idea it would close if they attacked Iran.
The military knew, we have known since Bush called them the axis of evil at the turn of the century. Why do you think nobody has talked of this before? Everyone knew this would happen. But the one guy who was stupid enough to do it was elected POTUS twice
@N0nPlayerCharact3r and for extra context of the rational of that guy who was elected twice…he endorsed one of the Paul brothers for a leadership position.
@jamesdoakes4956elected twice yes but only won the popular vote once and even then hardly
Not sure what you mean. Iran has no navy and the strait is open….
@Alwaysquestion123But he won. The majority of Americans do not realuze they are defending the largest gaa reserve in Earth. US is resource stealing. The world is in high alert against a US attack.
Bro Had A Vision 😂.
You'd be suprise there's a video 4 years ago about trump will start a war with iran
@スターリーノーバーgeo strategy?
2021: The end is nigh
2026: The end is now
Trumpstein MAGA mayhem 2.0 is wild
2027: That was close!
@bruceli9094 2027 Iran wants to make nukes
2028 Iran is closer to making a nuke
2457 Iran wants to make nukes
1980 Iran is close to making a nuke
1994 Iran wants to make nukes
Same bullcrap 4 stupid people.
@bruceli9094❤
@bruceli90942028: trump not again!
this video aged like a low mileage '94 Toyota Supra
I love this comment but I know it's gone straight over plenty of folks' heads. Ah, car nerd things.
@JChaos1120I'm not a carbrain.
Recommend a nice looking muscle car for a beginner
@TheAlchemist1089First muscle car?
I recommend a Plymouth Belvedere, Mercury Cyclone or Pontiac Tempest.
Reason being is your first muscle car should be cool yet afford and not nearly as a susceptible to the auction tax.
Jay dee em ftw i suppose
You mean Toyota corolla
I REALLY wish I wasn’t living through another historical event right now
Imagine the guys who lived in ww1 and ww2
@seetsamolapo5600 Nah millenials got em beat soon.
AI children in the future will have to learn about all this history in their context files and it will be a mess.
ANOTHER ONE *DJ Khalid voice*
Every event is historical. Perhaps you mean of meaningful historical significance?
2022: What idiot would be stupid enough to start a war and close this strait for rest of the world?
2026: Well, well, well…
The right idiot it seems
if it isnt consequences of my actions
Original title: Why this tiny spot could destroy the world.
Then he changed it to "Why Blocking This Spot Could Cause WW3"
i think that already happened
The second title is much more dramatic
What was the first one?
@bngmapping WW3*
Narrator: He did, in fact, underestimate Iran and overestimate the US’ strategic decision making
There are dozens of people who support this DOZENS!
Everyone who commented 4 years ago getting a flood of responses right now for very obvious reasons...
11:57
The country has a president who refuses to think even once. Oh wait, he did think, it was to cover up some financier's files. 😢😢
@Eyclonusthis tense situation almost happened 4 years ago
Iran has said that they will collapse the global economy so the world will quit letting Trump be a warmonger.
FOUR YEARS AGO????
Globally it was fairly well known by most people who made an effort to think about it that the Strait of Hormuz is a critical supply chain chokepoint. That stopped most attempts to provoke Iran. And then the US got some arrogant, self absorbed religious nuts in office, people who *never* consider what happens if their plans don't work out, and here we are.
This has been known for decades.
@JChaos1120the trick to make sure that your plans never fail… is to have no plans in the first place
@AlexandreRouleau-j2ptrump docet
its not that crazy though
Who else is here after hearing JD Vance admit that they can't make an agreement with Iran.....Iran is holding the cards
RUclips put this video in everyone's algorithm to laugh at us for not listening 🤦🏻♂️
AI be like "hey you idiot humans, look here."
I love the ai's sense of humour
Trump supporters get to do whatever they want.
If you’re here in 2026 you’re on unbelievable levels of monitoring the situation
It’s almost like this outcome was entirely predictable and known for years.
On god lmao
I’m not gonna go as far as me being unbelievably monitoring the situation, it just came up on my RUclips feed
Or:
- We care about what's happening
- We like being educated
- RUclips's algorithm recommended it because it's a worldwide crisis
I, with a lot of people here, monitor the news briefly and moderately.
@vidblogger12Look up: Scenarios of U.S & Global Society Reshaped by Science & Technology
“Currently they rely on trade” real life lore knows too much
We're fully aware of it for ages and been working hard on developing renewable energy... just kidding we're hardly moving forward on that matter due to corruption, accidents, sheer ignorance of people in general haha. Anti-nuclear is very strong because we keep bombing ourselves. Solar panels aren't getting popular because anytime we build them on a slope a landslide kills people because we don't have a flat land. We're very much oblivious to the danger hidden around the corner because we've taken the peacefulness as granted for the last half century. I'll take a blow on the nose to wake us up.
My thought exactly, just like Germany, Japan going to try again 😂
@matthewriley6446 yea China "promise" it will not use the mushroom fist, and "promise not to use it against non-mushroomed States "
@ryo0ka936 Which country are you referring to?
UnskilledGamer japan most likely
Well done algorithm, well done
New Title: What if the US Decided to Kick Off a Conflict That Shut Off Most of The World's Oil Supply?
This channel is painfully biased. And this kind of bias can turn out to be straight up evil. A well read person can easily point out the glaring details he is leaving out of the story. They have a standard where colonial brutalism and bullying when carried out by europeans is okay and a fact of nature to be accepted by everyone else on earth. Their speech assumes that is the case and their morality comes after that, completely skipping that.
*terr0rist attack , say it as it is
@mr_brown5974 US bombs school with little girls on it: Freedom!!
@mr_brown5974 the most obvious one is how he says oil is the most vital resource to the world, but leaves no mention of how it's also important to the US, painfully just glazing over why the US would have such a huge interest in defending the territory around the strait of hormuz.
@quantumpanic
1) The US is in the world.
2) the whole second half of the video is about US military interests in the region.
No one is dumb enough to attack that would shut down such important strait.
Oh wait
He somehow overestimated our military might, and underestimated our lack of strategic abilities at the same time🤦♀️
@bonniepinney2884 Trump is your average idiot who thinks America is mighty over everyone 🤣
@isiaharellano3789 and he’s so stupid that he’s now threatening our UN allies because they won’t help. The US is an embarrassment
Meanwhile an angry orange 🍊 :-
@isiaharellano3789b-because we are
bro had a vision
People joke about Americans using everything but metric, but RLL measures strictly in units of Luxembourg
But they are TAX-FREE units, and cheap to use! lol..
😂🤣
US uses Metric. I mix cm and inches all the time. Sometimes it's easier to convert volumes by walking them from cubic inches to liters and back to gallons.
The Toyota Corolla walked so Luxembourg can run
@ClokworkGremlin Sir there are words in your formula!
"Blocking this strait could destroy the world"
- Hollywood screenwriter: "Write that down, write that down"
I can see some Bond villain like the one from Tomorrow Never Dies having the plan to put mines in that strait and start World War 3.
I was Like 69
Cool copy and paste
can someone explain why it would be censored? if he can talk about the holocaust this is fine
@bid84 there are thousands of comments here, how the fuck can you guess something original?
"Iran's capability to close the Strait is realistically pretty limited" - Yea sure...
It was true at the time. Back then all Iran had was a bunch of obsolete Soviet tech. Since then they've domestically produced weapons specifically designed asymmetrically counter NATO air defenses. And also had the advantage of letting Russia test some of these in Ukraine. Most notably the Shahed 136
@Darius-scifieart the video was refering to 2021 when is was made, not 1971, and it even talked about the thousands of mines Iran had for years that they could deploy as last resource.
I mean he addressed it in the video immediately after that. They couldn't blockade it in a technical sense but he said that through bombardment from missile and AA batteries and mines they could effectively close it despite it not actually being impassable. Which is exactly what is happening now.
@darius lol you idiots love projecting your own weaknesses. Iran is smarter than you though.
The strait is not completely closed. They are letting ships of friendly countries pass.
We meet next time at "What happens if Nukes fall out of the sky"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
All ready happened 😂
Kurgezagt has video about that
I can hardly wait to see RLL’s “Why Arrakis is the most important planet in the galaxy.”
He who controls the spice controls the universe.
From the manual of Muad'Dib, by the Princess irulan.
@bentoth9555 The people who can destroy a thing, they control it.
What I thought everyone knew this? Best drug in the Universe :)
@mikep8080 its a dune reference its nothing to do with salvia
RealLifeLore teaches me more about the world than school did
Hi
Trueee
true
Nope
@forevermore1830 69
"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today"
Ferb was the brains
Plot twist. Pink and the brain beat you there
We are going to trigger every country in the world!!
"Fuck yeah, let's start WW3" -Suction Cup Man
YES
Anyone here in April 2026? 😏
FYI: The original title was "Why Blocking this Strait Will Start WW3" and 06/22/2025 they changed it to "How Iran Can Destroy the Global Economy" after that and now with everything going on they changed it to the current title
Meen je dit?
@gd1996dgyup
What Happens if Iran Blocks the Strait Of Hormuz
Kinda shitty for them to change the title tbh.
@kleash its not. but if youre a moron who dont know how things work, maybe it is lol
Hi everyone watching this 4 years after this video was made.
Hi
Hey there
Hallo
Same here
"Currently they rely on trade" - wow that felt like such a coded warning against Japan
Who knows? Japan might go get some resources through different means sometime later
What warning?
@ 臥龍 he’s implying that they currently rely on trade however who knows what will happen in the future with the changing climate and global population boom - implying that in the future Japan may be forced to go to war to keep the inflow of resources that it needs
Japan's "self-defense forces" are well-trained, well-equipped, and their navy is one of the best in the world. They also produce most of their own equipment in Japan for strategic reasons, even if it costs more that way. In addition, they're at the "bomb in the basement" stage as far as nuclear weapons development goes, meaning they could whip up functioning nuclear weapons and delivery systems with existing technology and infrastructure in a matter of months if they haven't already, in case of emergency... and they spend just 1% of their GDP on the military. I'm very happy that they're on our side.
@NigelAndTommyAreGrifters "Who knows what will happen in the future" can be said for any country on the planet.
Japan today is a stable democracy and virtually all of its citizens are against war. A warning for Japan doesn't make sense.
In fact, if you look at post-WWII history, it's probably the US who should be warned about going to war lol.
I gotta be honest, it isn't nice meeting ya'll here again, but here we are.
Every single point is spoken as if it is the most mind blowing thing you will ever hear.
it kinda is
Lol he narrates like this in all the videos
Yesss!!!
followed by mispronouncing "cutter". /sigh 'kuh-taar"
Indeed. That’s why I had to stop watching after 6 minutes. I just can’t.
What kind of idiot would cause an attack that would shut down such an important passage?
Oh wait.
I'm convinced he did it to turn down the heat on the Epstein files.
This is why you go to every MAGA you know and online and go, "NO NEW WARS!?? HAHAHAHAHAHA! NO REFUNDS!"
An idiot who's son just bought A LOT of oil the day before the invasion
Insider trading
@nicka4462Biden didn’t release the files. And Hillary Clinton assured us everything was okay.
@nicka4462 Why? This is clearly USA just being imperialist PER usual. This has been happening for years.
Is Trump an idiot? Clearly. Is everything he does a 'distraction'? No. Saying that it is just a distraction undermines what USA is actually doing.
Unless that's your goal..? To just put all blame on Trump and then when someone like Biden does something like this, USA is the greatest country on Earth and Iran deserved it?
Regardless, as I said, USA is just doing what they do best. If they were trying to distract you, they wouldn't have ICE shooting random people lol
North Korea: write that down, *WRITE THAT DOWN*
Lol
@magicdonut7125 couldn’t obliterate impoverished rice farmers tho 💀
@breadstick3793 well whoever tries to take over the strait will most likely be a military with uniform personnel. So yes America can oblirate (China and Russia are exceptions). It's different from guerilla mixing with civilians in a dense rainforest.
Kim Jong Un actually has a Nebula subscription
@magicdonut7125 what if they block the Panama Canal instead?
RLL: "Here's a very real and disturbingly easy way to end the world."
Some Random Person: "Don't mind if I do"
Everyone:"Interesting"
Me: *It's free real estate*
*Let’s just get the Ever Given again*
It would make a bunch of rich people upset but nobody is going to war over money anymore, that changed a few decades ago with the industrial revolution. It's too expensive. More money to be made trading then killing.
@DarthObscurity you can't trade what's not there
A real and disturbingly easy way to turn Canada into an economic powerhouse if our gov't wasn't f-in' stunned.
They JUST closed it!!! You called it dude
Oh snap! You saw and remembered this as well??? It is gonna get so bad around the world huh? 😬
Yes! As soon as I read a headline that Iran did it. I was like “OH SHIT!!” And immediately opened up this video shits gonna get crazy may god be with us all
better put your bread in crude oil futures asap
And now the Iranian navy has been destroyed, so they can't blockade the strait anymore. Womp womp
>They JUST closed it!
Of course Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. That is Iran's greatest leverage against the two lunatic nations attacking it.
"Every single day humanity consumes 9 million barrels of oil a day."
I can't really undestand why, I mean it doesn't really taste that good.
Oil has a greassy taste, but its good, especially your joints
Drum kick snare
NO!🤣
Not so funny
Still its so funny
i just tasted it i feel funny
This aged fine wine 🍷🗿
The PDF File In Chief should have watched this 4 years ago
Fyi, Trump isn't the only one.
correct, but he is the only one who started a war over it
@jonathanl9229 us president after carter has wanted to start a war against Iran because the class told them to
Whose that?
@thefrench8847so he still is one what’s is bros point 😂😂😂
12:03 “but Iran’s capability to do that is realistically very limited….” Watching in March 2026….clearly it wasn’t THAT limited.
crazy what 4 years of preparing for war when your insane neighbor wants to kill you can accomplish
@presidentbutterpudding4025Iran has been preparing 20 years for this since the Iraq war lol.
😂Nowhere near limited fr
He made this video 4 years ago so his info about Iran's capability has already changed.
This is the "I told you so" video.
Gentlemen, we are gathered here to witness the algorithms' sense of humor.
RLL: "currently, they rely on trade"
That "currently" is scaring me!
That currently is indeed scary
@yaziri7 It's only a matter of time !
@AymenDZA *orange
Dziri?
@rohankishibe8259 of course lol
This video has aged interestingly
It got randomly recommended to me
His pfp is also a windmill…
half as interestingly
@1991_Saturn_SL1😂 I see what you did there
This makes me understand what Frank Herbert was getting at in Dune. A massive civilization, dependent on one place.
The spice, I mean oil, must flow.
One place and one product. The analogy falls off though. Only one planet produced spice. Lots of countries produce their own oil, and America could be a net exporter if we wanted to. For some reason, our politicians semm to want to involve us in mideast conflicts, with no good reason to do so. Some combination of oil investments, military spending and partisan politics perhaps.
@bobbarclay3203 domestic oil production requires fracking which is pretty dirty
@MajorMlgNoob Yeah, and so is strip mining. Not 10 miles from where I live are old strip mine sites. On them are several wind farms generating electricity that is fed into the power grid. Around the wind farms are many square miles of state owned forest and game lands that were acquired by the State from the coal companies. On those lands are public trails, trout streams, deer, bears, turkeys, rabbits and squirrels, and coyotes. Many of the smaller farms that surround this forest can't support themselves on crops, and the land is valuable as recreation property. If the farmers sell, the development would enclose and encroach on the recovering forest. So landowners maintain and suport their farms by allowing fracking on there land, for which they are paid fairly well. The drillers extract natural gas, which, until recently was intended to be piped to ports and shipped to Europe, which attains some of its environmental goals by burning gas instead of coal. We would not have needed to allow Russia to build the NORD pipeline. Our national balance of payments would improve, the dollar would be worth more, and American workers would have benefitted.
Fracking causes nowhere near the damage that strip mining did, but society found a way to get the use of the coal, and improve the state we live in, each at the appropriate time. Fracking provides multiple benefits to society which should be evaluated honestly, not the least of which are economic. If you oppose fracking thinking its dangerous, dirty, or harmful to the environment you are paying attention to partisan politics, not environmental science.
But that was because of the universal spice addiction...
"The most important place to understand in the entire known universe."
The Sun, Moon and Earth: "Are we a joke to you?"
Yes.
I didn’t know the US could block the diameter of the sun.
@coolxg4357 he said understand not block
Stupid crappy clickbait bs
*laughs in Sagittarius A*
This needs to be a villian’s plot in a movie.
If it does, hunker down.
Predictive programming.
It is it called the USA
And the president who would dare make the U.S. energy independent might be removed from office for unlinking America's national interest from the Straits of Hormuz.
US of A is already at it
@PoisonTea1 Iran is the country who keeps threatening to mine the strait.
Oh NOW this is in my recommended.
People freak out when prof Jiang predicted the Iran war. But no ones bats an eye when RealLifeLore predicted Hormuz straits 4 years ago.
America has Google, but fails to Google geopolitics before going to War 😂😂😂
Everything can destroy the damn world at this point 😂😂
Yea
The day that actual flying cars became a thing. All this trade points would become senseless pointless.
This is why oil industries and tycoons are still keeping everyone from discovering new tech towards a true global innovation.
@rogueascendant6611 lol no mate. There is already air transport in the world. The reason we transport by sea is because its cheapest mode of transport.
@rogueascendant6611 stupidest comment i’ve seen all week! congrats!
@rogueascendant6611 planes exist I hope you know that
Aged like fine wine 🍷

Everyone: so you chose death

What does this even mean? You're not even thirty right? Be honest
@MajDuty it is s joke
@MajDuty r/whooosh
@MajDuty can't take a joke??
Plot twist: RealLifeLore only knows this kind of shit because he's plotting to take over the world
Let's be honest though... if you're not at least *plotting* to take over the world, what are you even doing with your life
If he was, he would not broadcast it.
...or WOULD he???
@JimRFF I’m pretty sure everyone at least thought of it once in their life
👀
@ChineduOpara he needs that juicy RUclips money to fund his military

Until fusion. Or Diamond Nuclear Batteries.
@kosmique this planet is the only important thing out there 🤣
@kosmique It's a reference bro
@kosmique it's a Dune (?) reference bro lol
Astro glide presently is dominating our planet,
Thrust me on this one.
It must be so bittersweet making a video like this 4 years ago and having it happen
Funny how it was made to sound if Iran started the war than it's like this.. but now we see what happens when attacked..they seemed to close the strait pretty damn easy
And they're making ships pay to pass - that wasn't mentioned in the video lol
@mrbilal1987 yes in Chinese Yuan not freedom dollars, they are reducing the petrodollar value
also the vid was 4 yrs old
@mrbilal1987no shit, it's a 4 year old video
@hungryal It's just a reminder of how unpredictable war actually is...
Getting this recommendation in 2026 with the state of the world is wild…
The joy I experience when I see you upload is immense. I’m a geography/history nerd and I learned so much from your videos.
Same here
