      The mad emperor gets more desperate by the hour and puts the world economy closer to total collapse.

      Expect violent Iranian retaliation in the Gulf. I suspect they will start bombing American companies offices and infrastructure in the Gulf like they already warned.

      Leaving the infrastructure just signals to me that we’re going to put boots on the ground to secure it. Oil going to go beserk.

      For those who are unaware. Iran’s coast is too shallow for tankers to get close. They have this island where 90% of their oil is refined and shipped from. Retaliation will be a bitch.

      According to Trump, they hit the military targets on the island, neutralizing the defences. Is this preparation for a ground operation to take the island?

      The infrastructure on the island is very important; if destroyed, it would take many years to rebuild.

      I thought he’d wait for the war to be over to negotiate like that: „stop the war = you keep your oil“. But it seems it’s happening way earlier (it’s still not destroyed, only military sites it seems). It’s not a card he’ll be able to use forever, or it’ll probably not work. The biggest risk of course is that iranians will have nothing to lose if the oil is destroyed, stopping the war could be much more difficult after that.

      If it’s in drone range it doesn’t matter if marines take it, they have to hold it without cover

      Oh. So that’s where the marines are going.

      I guess there’s enough marines ready that the US is ok tipping them off.

      They cried revenge after one of their own killed a bigoted podcaster.

      They cheered and waved the Gadsden flag when the Federal government executed Americans in the street. Pointing at the victims bodies and their grieving families laughing, „Don’t Tread on Me!”

      Now a Sunday news gimmick with a drinking problem is going to send our kids and our family members and our friends to die to deflect from his bosses raping of children.

      250 years and this is where we are.

      Lol, since when was he ever decent 😂😂

    13. ReactionJifs on

      so he has until Monday morning to declare absolute victory OR the price of oil hits $115 and the entire planet shuts down?

      sounds feasible 🏌️‍♂️⛳

      The US are sending an amphibious force and several thousand marines likely in a bid to seize the island. This island is important for Iran. Iran will retaliate. Those marines will likely be sitting ducks even if the island is occupied. The war doesn’t seem close to ending that’s for sure.

      So we didn’t take out their oil infrastructure because…. yeah, we’ll be stealing all that, I guess.

      No – he did it so oil prices would not spike even more (even though high oil prices are good for the USA) OR because he plans to confiscate the infrastructure at some point.

      China gets about 90% of Iran’s oil exports, and half of its total oil imports last year passed through the Strait of Hormuz. If Trump were to seize Kharg Island, well….Beijing won’t be happy.

    23. Ma_Bowls on

      We should just expect more stupid things to happen every Friday after the markets close.

    27. Lost-Transitions on

      Christ, a goldfish has better memory than the US.
      How did this go the last two times you tried it? Oh, but this time it’s different? Really? Really?

    30. Khamvom on

      Context:

      The U.S. struck Iranian military defenses on Kharg Island. The island acts as Iran’s main oil export hub and handles about 90% of its crude oil exports and serves as an economic lifeline for the embattled nation.

      Striking Kharg seems to be the U.S. response towards Iran shutting down the Strait of Hormuz.
