That isn’t on Polymarket yet but there are other interesting bets being cast…

But perhaps if you queried them they could give you some odds…

Nor is Trump the only world leader who’s been saying that Iran must never get a nuclear weapon. Most of European leaders and former Presidents since Reagan considered it a red line they couldn’t be allowed to cross. Even Obama wanted them to give him ten years so it would be someone else’s problem.

Trump is simply the first one to convert talk into action and without Israel’s decapitation strikes I think even he might have hesitated. But when the $hit is going to hit the fan anyway there is a temptation to say “in for a penny, in for a pound” and cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war…

How’s that boot taste?

Emirates is operating at 61 pct of the pre war capacity.

Qatar is at 13 percent.

Well, if Trump follows through on his threat to attack Iranian power plants and the Iranians respond by destroying oil and desalinization infrastructure in the Gulf states as they have threatened, oil at $120/bbl will seem like a wonderful golden memory. Not only will inflation skyrocket, we'll see a significant erasing of wealth as global markets adjust to what will be a very grim reality.

Elections do indeed have consequences.





SOH has nothing to do with nukes.


Riddle me this, is it a war crime to attack civilian infrastructure simply due to a commerce reason (oil flow)??????

It’s unfortunate, shoukd have been handled better by previous administrations and for damn sure by the feckless Europeans, but it is what it is.


What do you know about “Shiite Muslims?”




The people in power last year said that Iran’s nuke capability was obliterated and any suggestions otherwise is fake news. Literally word for word what they said. Only 8 months, telling Americans that we are under “imminent threat” from Iran and we had to attack.



So. Were they lying last year in June, or are they lying now? Only one of those statements can be true. Which is it? Let alone thousands dead so far in this crap war, the families of 13 service men/women should be told the truth. Along with the rest of the Americans.

Short answer, absolutely yes. Sign a treaty, this war is over. If not, you know it’s a fight that had to happen sooner, later. Sustain the operation long enough, they’ll eat the cheese.

You're not seeing the big picture, if we bomb their power plants we can sell them new ones, I hear Bill Gates has a new company investing in self contained nuke reactors that would be perfect for Iran!

I learned very quickly in high school that it was “eer-on” not “Eye-Ran”…although it’s never bothered me if someone calls it that.

The language : Farsi, the ethnicity: Persian……..I’ve noticed a lot of broadcasters including many who aren’t American calling the nationality “Irani” like rhyming with Chobani (yogurt)…….

I aaa aaaa don’t think that’s right.

too bad Hillary didn’t win… she said Iran needed to be stopped also. We could have already had this done 10 yrs ago. Or did you miss that video?
