Still waiting to find someone who isn’t doing exactly what they were doing before the war. The 15 dudes I’m heading out on a guys weekend haven’t changed their plans in the last 2 months. All non pilots, normal salaried blue collar workers.

Lets see if Europe stops flying airplanes before the talk of the reenactment of Vietnam happens.

Hell, we suffered more casualties during a withdrawal than we have during this “War”.

I'm not so sure it's just individual's "bubbles." I Google "oil crisis" every few days just to see if there's any credibility to the claims, and there are always articles suggesting a global shortage could be coming. We can debate whether those sources are correct in their assessments or not, but plenty of different people are talking about it. Here are two just from today. It's not just a difference in CNN vs. Fox.

Yes. The developed world isn't going to sit idly by and wait for economic collapse. They system will adapt to mitigate the damage.

Who knows, Trump might even make a deal. The question is when? Iran can't hold out forever, but they have probably concluded that US presidents tend to fold under domestic pressure, which tempts them to drag it out.
