war is bad overall, but i would not say its a complete waste of time.

Well sir, what's happening TODAY is now Iran has just announced they're going to try and close the Strait again.

Little premature to declare victory, doncha think?

Yep, I thought that was the “Daily Chaos” chart at first glance! Definitely seems to get more volatile with each passing week.

Honestly, all we’ve done is taken a regimen that hates us and made them hate us more.

This will simply consolidate the unification of the Islamic state. It’ll move beyond political boarders. Thats when we really need to be worried.

Pakistan will be key.

Well that’s just perfect. Last stand of the Benny Laden gang iirc.

This guy lol.

during the previous admin russia invaded Ukraine. During this admin we voluntarily shot ourselves in the foot and people on here are shocked that some folks aren’t happy with it……

This is what happens when you are completely consumed by your partisan politics. If the other “side” had started a war with no strategic foresight into the global ramifications they’d be going bonkers, but no, lets come up with a constant string of mental gymnastics to justify our emotional bias.

we’ve blundered, and we look the fools for doing so.

Now fully open.

Saturday: Two gunboats from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard opened fire on a tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said. It reported the tanker and crew as safe, without identifying the vessel or its destination. TankerTrackers.com reported vessels were forced to turn around in the strait, including an Indian-flagged super tanker, after they were fired on by Iran.

Tehran's joint military command said the strait is now under "strict management and control of the armed forces" and accused the U.S. of "piracy" -- a reference to Washington's ongoing naval blockade of Iranian ports, which the IRGC says violates the terms of the ceasefire. Until that blockade is lifted, the strait stays shut.

The reversal came just hours after oil markets had already priced in the opening. Brent crude fell roughly 9.5% to around $89.89 a barrel Friday after Trump announced the strait was open. WTI slid more than 10% to $84.89. Those moves are likely to reverse when markets open.

But I thought we won and it's all over? Monumental success!! So much winning...

This is why using the stock markets/commodities markets as one’s primary indicator of success or failure is problematic. Markets (and a great many individuals) apparently have not wrapped their head around the fact that POTUS will absolutely make up whatever stories he thinks the markets will like. He’ll even tell completely contradictory stories over the course of a few days or hours in order to sway opinions his way. And yet the markets wax and wane with his every word. It must be exhausting. Call me when gas and diesel prices come down & Jet A is plentiful around the world again.
