BP Starting To Really Regret Giving Away All Of That Oil To The Penguins For Free

As the newest War in The Middle East rages, it appears that no amount of US and Israeli bombs are able to loosen the Iranian regime's squirrel grip on the global economy.

With the Strait Of Hormuz now a gauntlet of drone strikes, the world is now bracing for a very real and urgent oil shortage as tankers are prevented from passing through.

While this is good news for the resource sector, in the short-term, concerns are being raised about how long this war will last.

Nearly a month in, one thing that is for certain is that Trump's attempt at toppling the IRGC was never going to be as swift as the smash and grab he pulled off in Venezuela.

In fact, the War in Iran could very well become the next Vietnam, with countless American troops being sent to die in complicated and unpredictable theatres, while the pride of outclassed White House generals tanks the US economy.

In Australia, the Federal Government is urging citizens to remain calm, while giving ever-changing updates on how long the nation's oil reserves will last.

While the oil giants like Shell and BP are set to earn an extra $10 billion in profit this year as the conflict in the Gulf sends the price of black gold surging, there is a very possible scenario in the near future where even the Big Oil will be struggling with supply.

It's in moments like this that the world's biggest fossil fuel multinationals being regretting the generosity they have shown in years gone by.

"To think we used to just let this stuff spill into the ocean for free" said a spokesperson for BP.

"We really should've saved some of that for a rainy day"

While British Petroleum insists that their shareholders can remain calm, the current oil shortage has caused the board to reconsider their approach to philanthropy moving forward.

"I think we should just focus on giving scholarships to poor kids in the countries we drill this stuff out of. It doesn't make sense to give away the actual product" said the spokesperson.

"You know we gave away 4.9 million barrels during the Deepwater Horizon thing..."

"That's equivalent to around 700,000 tonnes"

"And I don't even think the penguins like oil that much"
