🚨🚨🚨 THE UNITED AIRLINES CEO JUST ADMITTED THE OIL CRISIS IS FAR WORSE THAN ANYONE IS TELLING YOU
IN A PRIVATE LETTER TO EMPLOYEES, HE SAID THEY'RE PLANNING FOR OIL TO HIT $175 A BARREL.
AND STAY ABOVE $100 UNTIL THE END OF 2027.
THIS IS NOT A MEDIA REPORT. THIS IS NOT A SPIN CAMPAIGN.
THIS IS AN INTERNAL MEMO. TO HIS OWN STAFF.
Let's look at the numbers nobody is putting together:
📊 BEFORE THE WAR (Feb 27, 2026):
Oil: $71/barrel
Jet fuel: $2.47/gallon
United Airlines stock: bullish
Strait of Hormuz: 120 ships/day, normal
📊 TODAY (March 21, 2026 — 21 days later):
Oil: $112/barrel (+58%)
Jet fuel: $4.26/gallon (+72%)
United Airlines: cutting 5% of ALL flights
Strait of Hormuz: near ZERO ships/day
📊 WHAT UNITED IS PLANNING FOR:
Oil: $175/barrel
Timeline: $100+ floor through END OF 2027
Extra annual fuel cost: $11 BILLION
Their best ever profit year: $5.5 BILLION
THE EXTRA FUEL BILL IS DOUBLE THEIR BEST YEAR OF PROFITS.
🔥 HERE'S WHERE IT GETS INSANE:
The Strait of Hormuz handles 20% of the world's oil.
20% of the world's LNG.
33% of the world's fertilizers.
It shut down in 48 HOURS after the war started.
Not with a naval blockade.
Not with mines.
With drone strikes and insurance cancellations.
Shipping companies just stopped going.
💥 THE RIPPLE EFFECTS ARE EVERYWHERE:
American Airlines: $400 million projected hit
Delta Airlines: Down 4.5%
Southwest Airlines: Down 3%
American Airlines: Down 17% since war started
Asian airline stocks: Down 20%
Chinese airlines: Already raised ticket prices
Global airfares: Forecast up 8-9%
Polymer/plastic raw materials: Up 50-70% in 2 weeks
🚨 THE CONTRADICTION NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT:
Before the war, the ECB was projecting 2027 oil at $72/barrel.
United Airlines is now planning for $175.
THAT IS A 142% GAP.
Either United's CEO is panicking for no reason.
Or every economic forecast from before February 28 is now trash.

They're un-sanctioning oil from the ....more
