What are you talking about? Theres not freedom in any middle east country, including Israel on this topic, at least not from an American or even European perspective.

Thats not breaking news.

Also most of these "allies" cannot be trusted, if we had given them a heads up, I am sure one of them or more would have leaked it to Iran

Also how TF did they not see it coming with us building up our presence around Iran

Update: piss off Canada.



It wasn't a failure of the international order, it was a massive demonstration of the new one. Canada just learned its place.

They were supplying quite a bit of materials to them already. I'm surprised it didn't raise the ire of the US earlier.

Warning: Language. Iranian citizens tell their side and they are happy with what the US and Israel are doing. They are not afraid to die because their country (as it was) is worth it to them.

BREAKING: The Manchester Islamist vigil for Khamenei has been CRASHED by proud Iranians and locals celebrating and waving around portraits of Donald Trump

Manchester stands against hate!
I read that as CRUSHED and thought "Finally!"

Isn't the Persian Gulf considered international waters too in most parts?

"Unsuspecting"...we've sunk all their naval ships and this one is unsuspecting. Also, isn't the point of warfare to attack when your enemy is not expecting it.

Wow, that dork is really something and I love the Nazi Germany comparison at the end. Bless.

If the midterms were held next month, Trump and the Republicans would get creamed on "affordability" with as quickly as gas prices have gone vertical.

3-1, gas prices in B/CS were $2.29-$2.59.
3-2, almost every single station went to $2.69 with some 10-20 cents higher.
3-4, now almost all are $2.79 to $2.89 with a few at $3.

With gas and diesel going up this fast, expect to see prices on everything else, especially food to follow in short order. I expect to see FedEx and UPS jack their fuel surcharge by several percentage points in the coming weeks.

Won't be long before we are hearing about "Trumpflation" and it won't be an accusation without merit.

Just like your prognostications about 2024 were spectacularly off base, this is also off base. Trump owns what is happening in Iran. If that somehow goes south, then maybe.

Most people won't really notice until 2-3 purchases, which will take a few weeks.

We'll see how it looks in a few months.

And if all you're going to do is make digs at me, then don't respond to me anymore.

These tanker rates are unbelievable. About another week until refiners really start to feel the pain.

The most accurate and concise explanation I've seen on the Iran conflict and the NGO complex. This part left me speechless:

"This is why the establishment's condemnation of the Iran strikes is so disproportionate to the event. They are not mourning Khamenei. They are recognizing, with alarm, what Trump is actually doing. The regime change Trump is attempting is not Iran's. It is theirs.

Every act that reasserts American sovereigntyon Iran, on trade, on immigration, on energyis an act of regime change against the supranational order that has governed American life, foreign and domestic, for at least 70 years. The strikes on Khamenei's compound are a demonstration that a sovereign nation, acting in its own interest, does not need institutional permission. The Trump Administration just showed that the veto the multilateral order spent decades embedding into American foreign policythrough think tanks, through NGOs, through carefully managed BRICS adversariescan simply be ignored.

This is how the NGO-Administrative Complex dies. One sovereign act at a time."

Trump has the establishment varmint cornered and that explains their behavior.

'Well, let's just stop now and start paying the mullahs again'-Blinken. NGO-swamp defender extraordinaire.

That guy should have been brought up on charges by now.

I think I read that Taiwan also hasn't reported Chinese fighters entering their airspace the last 3 days either. China is feeling a bit of a pinch with the volume of oil they buy from the Middle East being lessened given current events.

And, you didn't see this coming? I'm too old to stand a wall anymore, but I can damn sure absorb a little pain to make the world a safer place for the next generation. If the sheep can't understand and accept this, let them eat cake.
