I get that. But collateral damage does happen and that sucks.

Inevitably, but so far it is minimal compared to what the regime has done to its own people just these past two months.

His politics aside, I feel like every time I read something from Trump that's not unvoluntarily funny, it's like reading something that came out of the mind of a toddler.

That's your TDS kicking in. The quoted post you replied to has no issues.

Why would the US need Israel's consent to attack Iran or defend a major ally like Qatar? That part of the tweet makes no sense.

Also, even his 'we didn't know about it' statement seems to be under question.

I wonder if it is case of them keeping a lot of intel from Trump or him just forgetting. He contradicts so much shit coming out of his own administration.

Regime change is what 100 billion sounds like.

Umm I'm a taxpayer, 20 Billion so far. They want another 100 billion. Mean while the price at the pump keeps going up. How is that not a financial burden?

You are looking at it at it on a personal level.

The broad strokes is that a regime change will make the strait of hormuz to always open and not be a tool to use against all countries around, which is why those other countries support this war.

A very powerful communique by President Trump. Iran is now on notice.

Kremlin Propaganda sources are now using this war to try to drive cracks between the U.S. and NATO.

Hoax image making the rounds on Twitter. Obviously a fake tweet.

Every bar I've ever bartended behind had a no news/political policy for the tvs. Didn't matter if it was corpo or privately owned, no news channels were to ever be on, and it was a policy that I loved.
Politics and drunks mix about as well as oil and water, I had to cut off/kick out more patrons over political arguments then any other reason. Bartending during an election year was always a nightmare.

In short, I'd rather die a thousand deaths than tend bar in a place like that.

Oh course its fake Starmer caring about the sovereignty of a place

A situation that would be better if both sides kept their mouth shut and got on with what they planned to do.

You guys talks like if since the beginning of the modern banking/capitalism, men didn't bet against or for it
It's called hedge, future, options, CDS, derivatives, SWAPS, Short selling, etc.

I wonder whether these muslim avengers will do anything or not


Granted they will create more mess than help but who knows.

You can't really avoid that in war. But what USA is doing (sometimes killing civilians by accident) is obviously so much different than Russia Purposefully targeting civilian homes, hospitals, schools, energy infrastructure in the middle of winter etc.

But I wonder what the endgame here is, changing regime in Iran would be a serious commitment (and a big benefit to the world) - but that can't be done in three weeks with only ranged weapons.

 

[FullMetalx117]

Seems like the conflict is no longer considered a 'special military operation'…it's war.

Oil not coming down for a while, here in the U.S. it's reasonable at $100/bbl but would expect it to eventually close the gap (or get closer) to worldwide pricing.

Good on the U.S. for trying to save the people from the evil regime. Heroes. Totally why the U.S. got involved.

We're in trouble if this actually works...

The people at the top are supposed to be intelligent, wise and have great academic records from the best schools etc

The expeditionary force on the USS Tripoli is still a week away from arriving in the Persian Gulf. Presumably, they'll be used to capture the Iranian islands in the Strait of Hormuz to open it back up.

Any competent war planning would have had an expeditionary force included in the military build-up in the region before the war began, to be used for contingencies like this once the war commenced. Yet here we are, with oil near $120 a barrel, and they're still a week out.
