Please explain “monumental success”. What exactly is it you think we have accomplished with this war? Genuinely curious.

Security for Israel in the Middle East Holy War caused by post WWI GB Imperialism.

Why that angers people like you will be something that will be studied for decades to come. What a strange time we live in.

Insert George W. With mission accomplished.

I’ve lived long enough to know this isn’t over and the reasons for doing all this is extremely questionable. It’s a victory for mankind that there is no fighting so yes we celebrate anything of that sort. And we at the airlines celebrate the reduced prospect of fuel shortages. I’ll celebrate the B.S. artist if you need me to for the gratitude of having peace, again

George Bush never claimed the war was "mission accomplished". The sign was never supposed to be there and wasn't coordinated by his people. The sign was put up by the ship to commemorate their latest deployment which was the longest ever deployment by a nuclear powered Aircraft Carrier in history.

Let me know when it gets to $150 a barrel by the end of March or whatever.

Still paying interest on that nut. Trillion or so. Half dozen in service flat tops will only get us so far.

Try two or three and another trillion for this one. After a while the trillions really start to add up.

So what’s happening TODAY isn’t important? And when I posted a five year chart - showing that oil prices in a prior administration actually peaked ABOVE - and were sustained far longer than - the prices hit during this administration - even uncorrected for inflation which would have looked even worse) people b!tched about that too…

I am becoming convinced that a distressing number of people - like you - just don’t like facts, unless, of course, they reinforce your prejudices. But facts aren’t like that. This is the data. Denying reality does not change reality.

So... is everyone happy now that it looks to be over?

Looks like an enormous win.

:)

I don't know how this ends. But I would not be surprised at all if they end up as good friends. Since they already are, and always have been good friends (with a few minor disagreements along the way).

If Israel can be happy with Iran joining the world economy, and selling unsanctioned oil its a big win.

The Sunnis joined the world economy decades ago and got wealthy and made peace with Israel.

Hopefully the Shias can.

If Venezuela oil and Iran oil can can increase production over the next two years Trump will have the leverage to sanction the snot out of Russia oil and put pressure on them to withdraw from Ukraine.

Exactly, the problem is Pakistan already has nukes….

This war is a complete waste of time.
