Or, it's about maintaining the US dollar as the petro dollar.

Go in where?

Iran.

We can use Israel as a staging point. They'll join us in a heartbeat anyway.

It will be messy, but the end is a fait accompli. And the world knows it.

It's time to stop f#cking around.

better to lead off with a EMP on Tehran,followed up 30 or less mins later by paratroopers to capture the leadership and liquidate them. No capture,just liquidate them. Then exfil over the border afterwards. Cut off the snakes head,Command and control is in shambles and trying to determine who is ordering what.

do you understand what the end game is? I sure haven't a clue.

A far out conspiracy theory might claim, it all involves oil, and the control of it. Put Iran out of the oil business for a while, and that would put the hurt on china, and we are already putting the hurt on russia oil sales, the nordstream pipe line got bombed. But lucky, biden the green energy freak, has approved a mega oil tanker terminal in Texas. But to be fair we need to export all that oil, since he has been approving oil leases left and right, and it's been drill baby drill.

Ummm...think about what you stated here for a moment...

If the squeeze is put to Iran's oil industry through sanctions or more direct means...how does that hurt the Chinese and Russians...?

Russia would just fill the gap with more oil sales to China...win win...for both Russia and China...

Also...any drop in production...raises spot prices...per barrel of oil...win win again for Russia...


The whole reason the Biden administration is playing nice with Iran...is to bring even more oil into the market...thus lowering the price...while increasing the supply...and decreasing the amount of barrels sold by Russia...and the price paid per barrel to Russia...


It's a Shell game...pun intended...the real attempted squeeze...is on Russia...

And it will fail...fantastically...


You are aware that Iran is now a member of the BRICS plus alliance...Also Iran is a founding member of OPEC...and resumes it's seat with the lifting of the sanctions against it's oil production and sales...

Also...their oil and gas production infrastructure...is in the process of being upgraded by Russia...

You people should know by now that what they say versus what they do are unrelated in any way.

Looks like they might be !!!!!! 🤣


Report: Iran Launches Dozen Of Drones Towards Israel

1:30 PM – Saturday, April 13, 2024

Iran has reportedly launched dozens of drones towards Israel.

Reports have stated that drones are heading towards Israel on Saturday and are expected to take several hours to get there.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a video message said that “in recent years, and even more so in recent weeks, Israel has been preparing for the possibility of a direct attack from Iran.”

He warned Tehran that “whoever harms us, we will harm them. We will protect ourselves from any threat and we will do so with steadfastness and determination.”

Want has nothing to do with it.

Such as badass, we can do a ground war, but the cost would be extreme. Is the US really ready to lose a couple of 100,000? We would also see a major ramp-up of terrorist acts here in the states and elsewhere. You better have a serious end state for all that and you don't.

Just watch & see.

Events are still unfolding and will be for quite some time.

Let's revisit this in a few days.

It may be fixing to be down graded. That was the the first thing we hit in Iraq. If not the first, it was the second.

It would definitely be a win for American oil companies. Just like Iraq was. But they don't have to get Iran's oil. Just shutting it down will be a boom to American oil companies.

"Here’s something else America is leading the world in: oil production. This year, the United States pumped out more oil than any other country in history, producing millions more barrels than Russia or Saudi Arabia ever have and accounting for almost a fifth of the world’s total oil production. And the Biden administration played a part in making it happen."

yea, the "war on oil" that Biden is claiming, doesn't seem to fit, but the pipeline shutdown and rhetoric is the polar opposite message. And the part where Oil is going up, and if we amped up production, it would go down (presumably due to supply and demand), along with our export profits, this would be a key campaign highlight, yet it's hidden as a retort from leftovers when they are backed into the "your guy is a dotard" box. Things don't make much sense anymore.
