A barrel of oil is about 160 litres, and the biggest liquid transporter trucks usually hold about 60000 litres. That's 375 barrels per truck. This ain't going to work.

Carry the tanker ship on a truck

There is no reason to spend billions of dollars on a rail line that is not needed as long as Zionists do not start an unnecessary war. Maybe Zionists could stop their death cult beliefs instead of making the rest of us pay for their psycho-fairy tale crap.

"as long as Zionists do not start wars" - which they do, every year or so

It seems like those psychopaths know that their control of America politics is on its last leg so they’re willing to start any war even without the multi-year propaganda campaign that the last major war had.

I have a better solution.
Why not build a long city from Pickup point to Drop Off point,
with two rows of 500 meter tall skyscrapers to shield Iranian drones from entering,
and then have an oil pipeline go through it in the middle?

I call it, 'the line'.

Why don't they just use the eagles to fly the oil to Mordor America?

Why don’t they just America the whole fucking place, then they can just America the oil through the Strait of America, and do whatever the fuck they want.

Which I guess is kind of the plan if Israel is going to spawn kill every new guy until they are wearing the right colors.

A rail way is actually cheaper and easier to build than a road. Barking up the wrong trees here mate.

The special explosion proof rails, on the other hand, are really really expensive...

Is it just me, or are they just not sending their best this week? It’s getting tedious.

look, we can totally do this. get your grandma's '97 corolla, throw a few barrels in the trunk and a few on the roof, and get driving. If it runs out of gas, just refine some of the oil and fill up! If it's due for an oil change, just throw some of the oil in!

I think you're underestimating the sheer scale of the endeavor. It would need to cross several deserts, a mountain range and an international border. As drawn in the image there's almost 800km, let's say, between Abu dabi and Al Ashkara. Being very generous with the geography, a costly project like this could run for $10 MM per Km or about $8 Bn just for the construction (probably more as it wo...
