Well well well TIL.

Fuck it, let’s just send in some AT-AT Walkers to truck the barrels through.

And what? For one thing my point is well made if not technically by truck and second see that pipe that cuts off in the middle of the desert that follows almost the exact same path as the meme? They have to truck it the rest of the way.

Edit: Also if your point is we don't have enough infrastructure that is because it is expensive which was exactly my point.

That’s not how anything works. It can’t be done in time even with an infinite amount of money. Money doesn’t magically transform into infrastructure overnight. There are no magic infrastructure gnomes.

It's pretty clear you don't really comprehend the volumes of oil going through Hormuz here when you say truck it the rest of the way.

But we could do it it's just expensive which was my point.

No, you really couldn't physically move that much oil on trucks in any realistic scenario.
