As 2024 inches to it's last breath...we've been witnesses to events in this year which nobody have ever imagined. Contemplating most people who followed this year's happenings it was just the pre-nups to what is to unfold especially in 2025.
What many don't realize starting from 2022 events happened in systematic manner to not raise panic and make "Wars" a generalized event...so nobody will question what is still building up!
We saw space warfare...nobody questioned it, we saw direct attacks on Nuclear Power plants...nobody questioned it, we saw use of conventional Nuclear weapons nobody questioned it, heck we even saw deep sea warfare...nobody questioned it..
2025 is no party as most already know it's a year of Conflicts & which country holds the Global position!
What most of us will be watching is - Will China trigger the Timeline with it's Invasion of Taiwan...which most of us know practically with a 75% certainity that it will very likely happen in the year 2025...the question is now only the time & place!!

🛢 The Strait of Hormuz Oil Shock Is About to Head to the West
The biggest oil supply shock in history has reached the one-month mark. Prices have surged, growth forecasts are being cut worldwide, and shortages are emerging across Asia, from Thailand to Pakistan.
But the energy industry is warning that the crisis is only beginning.
In conversations with more than three dozen oil and gas traders, executives, brokers, shippers and advisers over the last week, one message was repeated over and over: The world still hasn’t grasped the severity of the situation. Many drew parallels with the 1970s oil shock, warning the closure of the Strait of Hormuz is threatening an even bigger crisis. Fuel crunches hitting Asia will soon start spreading west, they said. Europe is likely to face surging prices to secure cargoes and is at risk of diesel shortages in the coming weeks.
If the strait stays closed, the world will have to significantly reduce its oil and gas consumption — but not before prices ...
In a research note published Thursday, Goldman economist Pierfrancesco Mei laid out a detailed framework for how higher energy prices translate into labor market pain — and the picture isn’t pretty. As explained by the bank earlier in the week, its commodities strategists expect Brent crude to average $105 in March, spike to $115 in April, and then gradually retreat to $80 in the fourth quarter, assuming flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain severely disrupted for roughly six weeks. In an adverse scenario — one where the conflict deepens — Brent could peak as high as $140 a barrel, or $160 in a “severely adverse” scenario.
The damage isn’t distributed evenly. Goldman’s sector-level analysis points to leisure and hospitality as the single hardest-hit industry, accounting for roughly 5,000 lost jobs per month, with retail trade shedding another 2,000. The logic is straightforward: when energy prices surge, consumers cut back on discretionary spending first — skipping ...
We are on the brink of breaking the backbone of Australia.
Right now this country has around 26 days of diesel left in reserve. We have 28,000 unfilled truck driver positions.
Nearly half the current driver workforce is over 55 years old. The next generation is not coming through.
The web that holds this nation together is fraying thread by thread and most Australians have no idea.
So let me walk you through what happens when trucks stop.
🔴 DAY 1 to 3
Supermarket shelves begin to empty. Supermarkets carry roughly 10 days of dry goods and about 7 days of frozen and fresh. Panic buying cuts that in half overnight.
We saw it with COVID. We see it right now with the fuel panic already hitting regional stations across the country.
🔴 WEEK 1
Fresh produce gone. Meat gone. Dairy gone. Hospitals burn through their 3 day medication buffer.
Fuel stations in regional and remote areas run dry first. Communities like those along the Perth to Alice Springs corridor get cut off. No fuel in means no food out.
