we are far away from the war

[DrBeer]

unexpectedly, the impact of the war will be felt all over the world. Most of the world's oil reserves are in the Middle East and most of the fuel oil is transported through the Strait of Hormuz. The war has only started for a few days, but if it lasts longer, the destruction will increase and the negative impact on the economy of every country will be negative. We are far away but we will come under this impact very soon. We are not being bombed directly, but economically, our bodies will continue to be damaged by cluster bombs. As oil transportation continues to be disrupted and shipping charges increase, the price of goods will increase and exports will be hampered. Manufacturing factories in the country will be close due to lack of raw materials. Unemployment will increase and the war will become more terrible due to the impact of global instability and recession. If pain occurs in one part of the body, its effect will spread throughout the body.

This is such an "American" way of approaching this. While there is no doubt that the government of Iran was a bad one, you think the only people who die are the people who are government officials? We have seen just recently that many school kids ended up dying, little girls all dead, so it's clear that we are not going to see just some jihadists dying, we are seeing normal regular citizens dying as well.

How could you compare that to your life where you just have to pay maybe a bit more for oil, or a bit less, or maybe inflation will increase, like how are those are the same? You are not going to end up getting bombs on your head unless you are near the region and this is why you should not be worried about this war.

If war only affected attackers and defenders in uniform, it would be “ideal,” if that word can be applied. But... war does not choose who can be “taken” and who cannot. Peaceful citizens have always been hostages to the situation and always become victims of war. No matter how accurate the weapons are, there may always be civilians nearby, and this is a terrible tragedy. Moreover, I know from my own country that the aggressor often resorts to scorched earth tactics and simply destroys entire cities and villages, just to report on the “capture of new territories.”
 In Ukraine, as a result of the terror unleashed by Russia, thousands of villages, hundreds of small towns, and dozens of large cities have already been destroyed, and the number of civilian casualties exceeds several hundred thousand killed by terrorists. War is the greatest EVIL!

Even here in my country they said we are safe but apparently no we knew that in Middle East is this is one of the source of  the coil and we knew anything causes delay for transportation and migration of goods came from them to other country also affect the economy now the result is one of the biggest factor here right now is the cost of the oil which is currently in my country this is the essential need so to give everyone a background before the war started its $0.91 per liter now apparently checking the price rise up immediately at the price of $1.10 immediately increase for approximately of 20.88% in just a single week compared last month! so this war if happens still problem to the goods and services.

Yes, it is absolutely true. I think civilians suffer more in war than military personnel. Both types of people are affected, but if you observe the ratio of losses, you will see that civilians suffer more due to war. War not only destroys lives, but also creates various problems in the economy and economy. War brings famine to the country. Our country has already fallen into an adverse situation in the Iran-Israel war, the main one being the price of fuel oil. The price of fuel oil has already increased by several percent. If the war continues like this, maybe the prices of fuel oil as well as other things will skyrocket, so that the people of my country will face problems quite well even though they are several thousand kilometers away from the war.

The family of the military personnel also suffer. Everyone suffers and even before someone is declared a winner of the war, there have been already so many casualties for both sides. There would have been already negative impacts to other countries near or not. Since our economies are all interconnected.

In war the suffering and the impact to people is based on were the war was much serious on because people within that region faces what those that's far might not see but however the situation and conditions of a civilian can never be harsh than the military because civilians are contributing almost nothing to the war and when is very serious they would find the neighboring countries for shelter and possibly start there family there but militaries are the ones who is protecting the civilians and fighting the intruders no matter what it will caused them, the reason why there are so much casualties in civilians is because of were the bombs are always launched and you can't see a military person roaming around.

[slapper]

The person in the bus are thinking about geopolitics. They're thinking about how they're going to get to work now, are they going to lose the shift, are they going to be able to eat that week? The war made that happen. The war that is "far away". That's the connection.

Oil prices hit transportation first, obviously. But then the cost of energy strikes fertilizer production. Synthetic nitrogen fertilizer consumes natural gas. And an enormous amount of the world's supply of nitrogen and ammonia passes through or comes from precisely the same geography that's up in flames to this day. So when you have a disruption of the Strait of Hormuz, you are looking at food prices. Bread. Wheat flour. Feed grain. Eggs. Not immediately maybe, not in the next week, but working its way through the system.

We built this system. Not "we" in some vague collective sense but the actual policy decisions in the last several decades. The whole architecture of interdependence that made everything cheaper and more efficient and also made every war everyone's problem. And we chose it knowing that the Middle East was the hinge that everything turned on, knowing that the Middle East held the leverage over worldwide stability. And we built towards it anyway because short term efficiency calculations won every time.

The psychological distance from war is a privilege in itself that is distributed unequally among the members of the global system. If you're spending more, you're feeling it. But you're still not the one with bombs. And the gap between those two experiences (economic disruption versus actual violence) is so vast as to become almost obscene to compare them. We're affected but we're not destroyed. Inconvenienced but neither displaced.

You have a point, but when a civilian observes the horrors of war and leaves his own country to seek refuge in another country, doesn't he live an inhuman life? Of course, he cannot live his normal life the way he is supposed to. Also, he is deprived of food, clothing, shelter, education, that is, the basic needs of a human being. And when you think about the military, they fight on the front lines, but they take extra precautions, so the number of casualties is low. If you go to the statistics of the dead in a post-war country, you will see that most of the people who lost their lives were civilians.

Even here in my country they said we are safe but apparently no we knew that in Middle East is this is one of the source of  the coil and we knew anything causes delay for transportation and migration of goods came from them to other country also affect the economy now the result is one of the biggest factor here right now is the cost of the oil which is currently in my country this is the essential need so to give everyone a background before the war started its $0.91 per liter now apparently checking the price rise up immediately at the price of $1.10 immediately increase for approximately of 20.88% in just a single week compared last month! so this war if happens still problem to the goods and services.

The same is the situation in our country, the price of oil/petrol has already got up in the last few days, and this is obviously the effects of the war because when the import of oil is stopped, then the supply will be low, and when the supply is low, the prices will surely go up because fuel is obviously a need for everyone on a daily basis, and even if the supply is not currently low, but the business owners obviously find this as an opportunity to increase the prices because they know they can make more profit from this since people have no choice but to still purchase fuel for their vehicles.

The situations could get worse if the war continues, because currently only the fuel is causing problems, but if more imports stop coming, then we will see more increment in the prices of goods and services because inflation will surely increase, and this is not a problem for one region, this will happen in every country which relies on imports and doesn't have production for everything themselves, and most countries fall under category as far as I know.

So the war is obviously affecting all of us even if our countries are not directly involved.

[AmaGold70]

"no need to worry. we are far away from middle east."

i heard someone say this and this is not true at all. just because we are not directly affected by the attacks and the bombing, we won't feel any impact from the war at all. since middle east is where most oil comes from, expect transportation costs to go up. whether the passenger is yourself or food or other items. the shipping fees will go up because of the gas prices. and since gas prices are more expensive, it'll be harder to transport resources making it more expensive.

i have already seen a bus company limiting their travel time due to the expenses of the gas meaning less people would be brought to and from their homes. so this war affects all of us even if you are not anywhere near the middle east.

You are very correct, even those who are far from the middle east would still be affected. When war happens, not only the countries involved are affected, while the counties involved would be directly affected, other countries too would be indirectly affected. There is no country that is entirely independent, and in one way or the other countries needs one another in other to survive, more especially in terms of trading and this is what brings relationship between countries.
If war is happening in the middle east, possibly, there will be problem in the supply chain system, the supply of goods and services will be interrupted, places where the war is not even taking place becomes affected. War will definitely, inflate the cost of goods and services since there will be no free access and movement for
Shipping of materials to other countries or destinations.

The only thing that we can do is to be prayer for them so that the war can stop. Because if this war continue in this way it can affected even the countries that we didn’t expect, especially the transportation aspect’s that you mentioned this kind of things will make everything become so expressive to extant that not everyone can afford buy some items from the middle of east; because of cost of shipping fees that will rise.

And it looks like this war will be long. I read the news that Iran refuses to make peace after their leader died following attacks by the US and Israel. Of course, this war will have far-reaching consequences, not just for countries close to the warring countries almost all countries will be affected by this war.

The biggest impact of this war will undoubtedly be on the global economy. We know the Middle East is the largest oil supplier, and with the outbreak of this war, the rise in global oil prices is inevitable, as 30% of global oil trade depends on the Strait of Hormuz. Furthermore, global inflation is also inevitable, as global oil prices tend to affect many aspects of the global economy. As you said, rising oil prices also increase transportation costs, basic necessities and many other things will increase so this will indirectly impact us all.

[Asuspawer09]

I mean that is something to worry about, it's war folks that could destroy everything if we are not careful, just take a look at the nuclear stuff that is develop if that stuff get to use for sure this world cannot take it and it is going to break everything, and it is going to result to all of us dead, dont know but I guess the theory was for sure this nuclear stuff is going to have a long term effect. I guess we just need to be thankful that the war was not something that big, and yes we are far awar from the middle east, we are surely lucky that we are not experiencing the drone bombming thing that theyh are experiencing I just can't imagine how they can go to sleep at not thinking that there might be a missile that hit there house at night.

Everything is going to be affected when it comes to prices, I mean I already see the effect yesterday the gas prices are skyrocketing probably add around 15 pesos on my currency per liter, that is just huge my normal gas number increase for like 10% so it cost me 10% more of a full tank my vehicle something like that, and for sure it just wasnt going to be it's effect if the war continue for a long time for sure it is going to have a lot of effects in prices in the future.

[Makus]

Anyone that thinks this way is being insensitive because even if we are In countries where the war does not affect us directly doesn't make us better than them and it still doesn't mean that the war isn't going to affect us one way or the other. The war has an effect on the crypto market due to the way it's affecting the world economy and if this continues it's only going to keep getting worse. If this keeps on escalating it's going to affect a lot of countries, we are all hoping that this is going to be resolved soon because war isn't a pleasant thing to witness.

[Findingnemo]

Ignorant people say these and they even celebrate these bomings because they are muslim country and love to see it is getting destoryed and seriously these kinds of people enable the corrupt and ill people to become the leaders. And oil is not just expensive, it can also manipulate many other exports and imports that will be dicated by the other party and sure it will be on the advantage of one who got oil.

This concern about Iran has been around for a long time, as they control the Strait of Hormuz. And not only the world's energy exports but also a large part of other essential goods flow through the Strait of Hormuz.
And there is no such thing in our daily life that does not require energy to produce. Since it is related to the global economy, it is undoubtedly that almost all countries in the world will be affected by this emergency. Even if they are far from the Middle East.

War is not something we should be proud of, it is not something that we should even pray to happen to other countries because it is going to affect many countries, we might think it will not affect other countries but when things start getting worse and the price rise up we will know that we should never pray for any war, those people who think the war will not have impact on the other countries did not know anything, I don’t think they know the value of other countries.

There are countries that if any small thing affect them no matter how small they are they will also affect other big countries, some war will start between two countries and at the end when it other countries is affected they also join the war and the war will continue to grow, I don’t think we should even think of war not having impact on us because that is not the right thing.

In terms of the situation on the ground we may be spared from missile attacks and we may still live in a comfortable place without feeling fear every day but on the other hand the impact will be enormous for everyone because when war breaks out especially on a large scale we will definitely feel a tremendous economic impact. Lets take the case of the US, Israel and Iran this time as an example.  with the escalating tensions between them oil prices are now rising, and this could trigger further increases.

Therefore, it would be foolish to say that there is no need to worry about the current war situation because it is clearly a dangerous signal for all of us.
The oil sector alone will cause us difficulties not to mention other impacts, which could trigger a more complicated situation even though we are very far from the Middle East.

Yep bro, no matter how far we are, but if we are using a product they have been giving, then definitely we are going to see a shortage, if we are importing food from one country, we don't go on war with them but if we want to go on war, we need to find another country that could give us food. But why will we take this step to end up having the same thing from another country?

Well US has a long history of controlling things; they have always spent billions in doing that and they will spend more and also lives too. Now the war has come to our houses because people can't travel like before, and offices and schools are planning to start working and studying from home again. Public transport has been suggested by the government so people won't spend too much fuel in their vehicles but this time is a golden one for the government too, they could sell less in huge profits.

[EFS]

We now live in a global world. Events that are geographically far away from you can still affect you. When logistical problems occur, the supply chain gets disrupted. Trade slows down and product prices increase. What the United States does on one side of the world can affect China's oil purchases on the other side. When Iran airspace is closed, planes have to take different routes and costs increase. Global inflation rises and everyone is affected by it. It's not correct to think that wars only affect the people of the countries involved in them.

This freaking war has no logical reason.
It's just that Trump wants more oil, and they hate Muslims. The Iranian minister said one thing that we do not trust the USA anymore. We were in negotiations twice, but they attacked us twice in the middle of the negotiations. There is no need for us to negotiate with them anymore. They started the fight against Iran again, so they can start an attack on Lebanon again and seize land. As far as I know, a lot of people already died in Lebanon and Israel will seize the land from Lebanon. Just like they occupied West Bank from Palestine.

[Hanadawa]

The family of the military personnel also suffer. Everyone suffers and even before someone is declared a winner of the war, there have been already so many casualties for both sides. There would have been already negative impacts to other countries near or not. Since our economies are all interconnected.

In today's modern world, the economic system is connected by a global chain to every country. This is an advantage, as market players and target markets are located on a global scale. However, I believe this system is very fragile, especially during a pandemic and conflict like the current one. The conflict in the Middle East has driven up global oil prices, causing the logistics supply chain, which plays a crucial role in the global economy, to experience increased costs, leading to higher raw material and selling prices. This is why in today's modern world, war can affect everyone, not just the countries involved. Even if we are not in a conflict zone, the economic impacts are still felt, and they will likely be felt for years to come.
