Ahh…DailMail…regular newspaper of record, that is…LOL Fair point. But this is what is appropriate: Former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross - who served during the president's first term - believes that Trump is now more likely to strike the Middle Eastern country following the blow to his most significant second-term policy. 'I don't think he can take this loss and then be seen as backing down on Iran,' Ross told The Wall Street Journal. |
Fake. Not one ad about sexy milfs waiting to meet me in my area

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Northwoods Do I think Iran was designed as a distraction? Honestly I really don't know. Maybe it was convenient and accomplished multiple goals for the administration. I think anyone dismissing the theory outright and mocking anyone who thinks it might be a possibility is being extremely cocksure though. |
But the dow is at 50,000!!$&$!&

Look up Operation Northwood and you'll see what the US government is capable of and that was 60 years ago. This isn't some crazy theory, it's declassified from the US Govenrment.

I think even the Daily Mail was more authoritative and respected. I’ll take cocksure for $50. |
Even if this excursion ends, there is nothing to guarantee that SOH and oil flow is immediate and sustained. Iran could very well continue and hamper oil flow as retaliation for time to come. Bad news for the airline industry. 2026 is gonna be a dud for profits.

No partisan politics unless it matches the political inclination of the two mods here, Fangs and rickair. You people said it was off limits to discuss the why or how we got to this war, and only the impacts going forward could be discussed.

It’s war. On two fronts. DL, like all carriers is a fuel dependent business. A blue chip publicly traded equity. Absent sudden change of Shia thinking, Spring ‘26 is more than less likely to become a watershed moment.
