It would take over 1000 trucks to fill a medium sized tanker ship

running across one of the most inhospitable places on the planet

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.

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!

Why don't they just use the eagles to fly the oil to ~~Mordor~~ America?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

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

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

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?

[–] tordenflesk@lemmy.world 12 points 15 hours ago

Give me the gasolene and I'll spare your lives.

Just walk away.

I will give you safe passage in the wasteland...

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

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.

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 14 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 hours ago

Let’s not judge people on their appearance…

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)
