What is left out of the story is the 1953 CIA led coup that installed the Shah to power. This was done to block plans to nationalize western oil holdings. This is the root cause of much of the country's animosity towards the U.S. Joining this war now would only reinforce the view that American Middle East policy is directed by Isreal. I don't believe that but this would cause a review of that conclusion. Seems like Trump is getting played like a fiddle here. Sure Iran should be blocked from acquiring nuclear weapons because the regime is unstable. But Isreal has nuks and convince me they wouldn't use them if the circumstances required or if they were threatened with defeat. Maybe they should be required to surrender those warheads as part of any peace deal?

If you want to believe you nailed it then enjoy the imaginary victory lap.

Well I suggested we should not succumb to speculation and withhold judgment until the facts were in and was told people like me, whatever that means, are supporting these killers. Figure that!

Early this morning I saw a CNBC interview with an oil sector analyst and he said OPEC has approximately 7 million bbl/day of spare capacity but that 5 million of that flows through the straits. The leaves spare capacity of 2 million outside the conflict zone. If Iranian crude goes offline China could switch to additional Russian or Saudi crude or longer term perhaps Canadian oil sands exports from the West coast. I expect Israel is trying to convince the Trump administration to directly join the conflict and use the Air Force's big bomber capability to drop those 4 ton bunker busters on the underground facilities. I think directly joining the conflict in an offensive capacity would be a mistake. But nothing will be surprising. Entering the conflict would be politically damaging to Trump and only amplify voices claiming US Middle East policy decisions are directed from Israel. I also read the Pentagon is moving a carrier group (I can't recall which one) to the Persian Gulf from its current deployment in the South China Sea. Which I expect leaves Taiwan exposed. Another potential hot spot. The story said the carrier group was scheduled to rotate out of deployment back to home port but was diverted to the combat zone. It also appears the objective is slowly transforming from eliminated Iran's nuclear program to regime change efforts. The track record of success on those types of operations hasn't been very good.

Your response is insane. And your views are based on rumors and non-facts. Take some advice and wait to hear the story from the people working it rather than media clowns that would rather advance some dogma than provide news.

Saw that. In my assessment markets are completely mis-pricing risk. The traditional pattern of behavior is panic for a day or two then assume a return to normal. That's why buy the dip has been so profitable. Israel has vowed the Iranian nuclear program must be eliminated. But what they can't do is effectively attack and destroy underground facilities. They lack the heavy bomber aircraft to deliver the bunker buster bombs necessary. They've been attempting to convince the US to launch such attacks. So far the administration has said "no".

Reportedly by whom? I always wonder if they just make this stuff up. Meanwhile, Iran launched a major missile attack last night against Tel Aviv and Haifa. Which hardly seems like the actions of a regime looking for an off ramp. This back-and-forth might go on for a lot longer and with a lot greater intensity than most expect.

Right now all I'm seeing is media speculation and narratives attempting to link the killer to one or another political ideology. What's missing is any input from official investigating the murders. I saw the 3+ minute clip of the reporter interview with the "roommate", Some advice to this guy might be don't make any statements to the press until you consult with an attorney. I'm suspicious the motivation may turn out to be more monetary than ideological. Suspect seems like a con artist that was exposed and had his paycheck cut off then went off the deep end. So officials said they won't reveal the shooters manifesto but they revealed his kill list? Sounds fishy. Who in the press has copies of the kill list? Where can we see it? Generally, law enforcement and prosecutors don't comment on "ongoing investigations".

Because those are places where bad actors are sometimes found.

They're protesting against the apprehension of murderers, rapists, drug dealer, gang members, and other bad actors. They're mentally defective or they have some sort of death wish.

Biden was the frontman that got elected to enable the leftist that could not win to run the country from behind the curtain.

How do you see that happening? And when?

I understand the nut left some sort of Manifesto. Initially, officials insisted it would not be released to the public. If he supported Trump or his specific positions I'll conclude the liberal democratic government of the State of Minnesota would release the Manifesto. Who knows this may change?

Excluding a small number of bad actors, 1600 mostly misdemeanor trespassing charges even though the doors were opened from the inside and security invited them in and when asked to leave they did. Realistically the government or members of congress were never under any real threat. It was allowed to play out for theatrical value. If this was an insurrection then the bar is set really low for that kind of classification. As the facts and evidence hidden by that Kangaroo committee are exposed over the course of time this fairy tale story will go poof. This I am certain of. In the meantime enjoy believing another whopper of a lie.

No Kings attending wealthy white boomers are just self-serving here concerned that if illegals are deported they'll have to clean their own houses and cut their own lawns. Or be forced to pay much more for services without anyone they can exploit.

The video evidence supports the tourist view for the protesters except for a handful of bad actors. We've all acknowledge J6 rioters deserved to be arrested. Something I'd like to see you acknowledge with the current riots. What the anarchists think they're going to accomplish is a mystery. It's a losing position on a losing issue. Protecting illegsl immigrant rapists, murderers, drug dealers, sex traffickers and others from justice.. Why not extend the courtesy to the domestic creeps too? All funded by shady NGO dark money much of it from China. How is life as one of Xi's useful idiots?

Which only proves the CCP is programming Google search algorithms and logic!

It would certainly put liberal claims they're committed to democracy and the peaceful expression of all political and social views to the test. My guess is the crowds will mostly be white middle aged liberal cat ladies. They constitute the core of the political left. They are emotionally unstable and prone to erratic behavior. So keep your head up.

Get the plate number and call the cops and tell them the occupants where shouting insults and waving pistols out the windows.

Trump is a 1st class BS artist. Just listening to his rhetoric I conclude he doesn't have a complete understanding of the facts and figures. But the democrats are suffering from some mental defect. They equate anarchy to democracy and look at anyone working to maintain a civil society as an authoritarian. They act like spoiled children with parents that spent a life not disiplining their child. What it comes down to for me is I dislike Trump less than I dislike the liberal left.

What evidence do you cite to conclude the election was stolen?

A major malfunction in the liberal mind is they believe actions necessary to maintain a civil social order, like arresting criminal illegal aliens, are the equivalent to and consistent with acts of authoritarianism. They are not. And that anarchy is the equivalent of freedom. This is also a false equivalent.

You're never going to please everybody and that's been the nature of the process for as long as I've been alive. And before that and after I'm dead. So quit complaining like the practice of providing special interests perks and favors was suddenly invented and inserted into legislation starting in 2025.

Based on their actions the Democrats believe illegal immigrant sex offenders, murderers, rapists, human traffickers, drug dealers, and gang members are above the law because their actions are inhibiting Federal law enforcement from apprehending them and proceeding with deportation. And these riots are simply bad optics. Do they really believe this is a winning strategy for 2026 and beyond? Think about how utterly irrational their position is here. Do they really expect to gain any political capital or support outside of the fringe left that is already in the fold? A sensible approach would be to concede these "bad actors" need to be apprehended and removed then proceed with adopting a common sense position on the migrant issue that will move the debate towards the political middle where a compromise can be achieved.

If Iran is intent on getting nuclear weapons why can't they buy them from say, North Korea or move their research operation to that country? Out of the reach of Israel forces. They're already aligned in the Axis of Evil. What do you think the response options would be to that move? Hypothetically speaking evaluate that option and hypothetical responses please.
