Trump Attacks Iran, II

[bamacpa]

The Wall Street Journal reports today that Trump was advised the strait would be closed and went ahead with the attack, thinking that Iran would capitulate before closing shipping. The expectation that Iran would surrender to us is so absurdly dumb even for this moron.

a view from outside our "america, hell yeah" bubble

The US is no longer directing the war against Iran

If there ever was a strategy behind Donald Trump's decision to blow up the Middle East, it is lying in tatters as the second week of the Iran war draws to a close.

Well it’s like everything else… listen to yes men and military nerds instead of people who assess most possibilities and you get your butt handed to you. There was absolutely no way the Iranian reaction wasn’t going to be a regime going for broke.

So I ask again… what are the goals of this war? A few here keep trusting Rubio’s assessment but the Orange Jesus and Sgt Whiskyleaks keep changing them.

If it was indeed to prevent the Iranians from being able to inflict damage on the world then i think we aren’t doing a good job as they are effectively controlling 15% of the world’s energy supply while Trump’s great white fleet is sitting in the Persian Gulf.

as far as i can tell, the goal is to kick ass and pwn woke

I saw an interview with Joe Mancin on NewsNation. He made the comment that the U.S. nor Israel can decide the direction of Iran, it will have to come from the Gulf States, from within the Arab community.
Is that the problem with our elected leaders? Ignorance. Does a former U.S. senator really not understand that Iranians are not Arab?

Hearing this morning that there is a an extreme variance between the New York Futures market for Crude which closed Friday at $103 and oil for physical delivery in Dubai at $140 per barrel. Brent is priced closer to the New York futures market . Traders are betting that supply issues can be resolved in the short term. If their bets are off and shortages are not resolved near term we are looking at $150 per barrel and can imagine what impact it may have on the global economy. Thank you messers Trump and Natanyahu.

That should have been a known going in? In many cases US/Israel are using $2+ million dollar Patriot or THAAD missles to shoot down $50 k drones and other lower cost Iranian missiles. It is by definition a losing proposition. Raytheon is hiring at their Missile operations in Huntsville. All of this is great news for the defense contractors.
