🚨🚨🚨 IRAN JUST HIT THE WORLD'S LNG HUB. HERE IS EVERY COUNTRY THAT IS NOW SCREWED. One missile hit Ras Laffan, Qatar last night. 12.8 million tons of LNG per year just disappeared from the global supply chain for 3 to 5 years. Here's who gets hit hardest: 🇶🇦 Qatar — lost 17% of all LNG export capacity overnight. $20 billion in annual revenue gone. 🇩🇪 Germany — 14% of Europe's LNG comes from Qatar. Already paid the price after Russia. Now this. 🇫🇷 France — TTF gas futures up 35% today. Heating bills going up before next winter. 🇬🇧 UK — European gas prices surged 35% in one day. Energy inflation is back. 🇮🇳 India — 60% of LNG imports came from Qatar and UAE in 2025. Can only replace about half. 🇯🇵 Japan — one of Qatar's biggest LNG buyers. Now competing against Europe for whatever's left. 🇰🇷 South Korea — same situation as Japan. Emergency diversification in progress. 🇨🇳 China — gets a third of its oil through the Strait of Hormuz. Now EFFECTIVELY CLOSED. 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia — Iran hit a Saudi refinery the same night. Their own energy infrastructure under attack. 🇦🇪 UAE — shut down their own gas facilities pre-emptively after Iran's threats. Self-imposed disruption. 🇰🇼 Kuwait — two refineries on fire after Iranian strikes. 🇺🇸 USA — its companies are the ONLY winners. US LNG exports are now the last alternative for the entire world. 🇷🇺 Russia — Power of Siberia 2 pipeline to China just became 10x more critical. Putin is watching and smiling. 12 countries. One missile. Three to five years of pain. RT before this gets buried by the algorithm.

It’s just a weird sickness at some point, this level of greed. You have $200 billion dollars. You could wipe your ass with $100 bills and keep getting richer every day. Why kill thousands and thousands of jobs at this point?

Ossoff: Was it the assessment of the intelligence community that there was an imminent nuclear threat posed by the Iranian regime? Gabbard: The only person who can determine what is and is not an imminent threat is the president. It is not the intelligence community's responsibility to determine what is and is not an imminent threat. Ossoff: It is precisely your responsibility. This is the worldwide threats hearing where, as you noted in your opening testimony quote, you represent the ic's assessment of threats.
