TRUMP SAYS “GET YOUR OWN OIL.” 35 NATIONS SCRAMBLE!
That wasn’t a throwaway line.
That was a warning.
Now look at this.
Australia scrambling into emergency talks.
Penny Wong meeting with 30+ nations.
Trying to figure out how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
And the United States?
Not even in the room.
Let that sink in for a sec.
The world’s most critical oil chokepoint is shut.
Prices are spiking.
Supply chains are tightening.
And Australia is sitting in a virtual meeting… hoping diplomacy fixes what regime change created.
Meanwhile Donald Trump already said it:
“Get your own oil.”
In other words, don’t rely on us.
Don’t expect rescue.
Don’t assume America will carry the weight like it always has.
And suddenly the illusion breaks.
Because thanks to our government Australia doesn’t have its own oil security.
We don’t have the reserves.
We don’t have the refining capacity.
We don’t have a backup plan.
So when Hormuz shuts…
We don’t just watch the crisis.
We are thrown into it.
At the pump.
On the shelves.
In the cost of keeping the country running.
This isn’t just a foreign policy moment.
It’s a big Aussie wake-up call.
Because if the message from America is
“you’re on your own”…
Then Australia better start doing something about it.
