Iran..

6 more Dead and I don't know why we are at war with Iran
Was it tradition that killed these Americans because Hegseth loves traditional jets
Iran is kicking our ass with modern drones that close the strait
We are refueling traditional jets that can't keep the Strait open

The Isreaelis have pointed the way with their "methods" in Gaza: Bomb the schools and they can't grow up to haunt you later.

Hello, genocide.

Quite the opposite. There are thousands of relatives of the dead school children that will hate the USA from now until they take their last breath. And will spread that hate as far and as wide as they possibly can. The USA will be haunted by the school bombing, both internally and externally, forever. This doesn’t appear to be a Hamas tactic of launching missiles from schools.

WTF
Are you kidding me

Translation
Iran is kicking our ass by keeping the Strait closed and I can't do Jack about it except to beg Iran to back off
If we didn't go to war with Iran, the Strait would be open

trump attacked Kharge Island this morning.
Yes. It's strategically essential to Iran's economy.
No. It won't persuade Iran's admin to back down, even if any logical enemy would do so.

There's a reason it has remained untouched so far.

trump said he didn't attack the oil facilities out of a sense of decency. Biggest laugh I had in weeks.

Iran will now double down on attacks of regional oil infrastructure and we all lose. You think gas is expensive now?


Kharge Island. Watch carefully!

Around 4% of the world’s oil production is from Iran. If we fully open the Straight of Hormuz, and also fully degrade Iran’s ability to export its oil, that is still a big global loss of oil supply. And the added costs of Straight of Hormuz shipping will probably be a permanent occurrence. Seems like even with a ‘successful’ end to the war, gas/oil prices will settle at some price higher than pre-war.

There is of course lots of chatter about Iran’s participation in the World Cup here. It just seems like it should be impossible. I’m wondering if there’s a market for betting the event gets CANCELLED!?

The fat oaf is HAPPY to disrupt the world's oil supply as it will lead to much higher profits for the American Oil Companies whom he really is serving, not the American people.

Aha...he's a pawn with TWO masters.

the magnanimous thing would be to allow the team to compete on US soil. Sports are supposed to be free of politics, right? Just shut up and dribble, and all that.
