Best case scenario at this point in time is the Straight of Hormuz is shut down without Iran attacking US bases. What’s the under/over on $150 /barrel oil by this time next Saturday?

Trump is a certified incompetent clown that got paid off by the Israeli Lobby. He pulled it off the first time having people believe he was different. He is actually worse than Joe Bidet, and Tony Blinken. They didn’t attack Iran, it was Trump who was elected as the peace candidate. It was Trump who aligned and surrounded himself again and listened to warhawks and warmongers.
If Iran continues to respond, don’t be surprised if Israel gets desperate and uses a Nuke on Iran. If that happens don’t be surprised if someone gives Iran a Nuke and Iran returns the favor.

That would be last gulf conflict scenario… from 16-18 to double 34$… back then very long time ago. When Tom Cruise was young.
This is dilemma: higher oil price means russia rubs hands and gets back edge over Ukraine who is now mostly EU funded, but EU doesnt have oil, needs to import it, bringing economies even deeper down in stagflation.
Higher oil price would help keep production going, eg Alaska. Saudis also would be happier.
Then it is gamble, which place flares up again , Iran needing troops on the ground or Russia starts winning more in ukraine and helpless europe cannot defend.
Can you believe this sh*t? What country or nation would trust this lying A-hole? This is what he said on Truth Social:
“Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
Martin Armstrong was made aware that the attack would occur today but was unable to say anything because of National Security Concerns. Now the big question is, whether this will be positive spin on the US attacking Iran? If the intelligence community decides, that the air strikes didn’t do much, then the US looks even worse.

I do not believe this to be true. I’m having a hard time believing a puppet Bernie Biden would have prevented this. This is the deep state and neocons at work. Biden wouldn’t have known until after it was all said and done.

Okay, here we go.
Nobody can later claim that “we didn’t know!!” when Iran strikes back at US troops, vessels regional energy facilities or the Strait.
This is on Trump. 100%.
We. Just. Bombed. Nuclear. Facilities.
There’s ‘jumping the shark’ and then there’s this.

A string of Tweets on my timeline:
Step 1: Bomb a country’s nuclear facilities
Step 2: Harangue them that “now is the time for peace!”
Folks, this is delusional.

Uh oh. Not sure if this is true or not. This isn’t an official Iranian government account:

This is worse than Biden for several reasons:
- Trump campaigned as the president that ends wars and promotes peace.
- Trump realigned himself “again” with Neocons and warmongers and people that are not qualified for their job, like Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Keith Kellogg, Steve Witkoff.
2a) Mike Waltz was caught leaking intelligence information on social media. - Trump played games with other Nations foreign policies. He viewed foreign policy as a game/deal.
- Foreign Policy has major consequences and implications.
- There is a chasm diplomacy between Sergey Lavrov and Marco Rubio.
- Trump conducting foreign policy with a NYC real estate businessman who knows very little about foreign policy. It was just a game to Trump to put a deal maker in place.
- He baited Iran to the table while Israel attacked them.
- He said he would wait 2 weeks but bombed them days within 48 hrs.
At least the Deep State that was behind Biden had some diplomatic decorum. With Trump he operates like he’s on The Apprentice.
Nah, Trump has outdone the Biden camp. There was NO need to start sh*t with Iran. He did it because Miriam Adelson wanted payback/return on her investment i.e. campaign contributions to Trump

It’s not worse in outcome, but perhaps, worse in expectations.
Alas, I said it before Trump was elected - anyone who thinks politicians can save America is a fool. It’s just not how it works (anymore).

Pause! What a bunch of hypocrites. Where are the Climate Change and Save the Earth contingent? How much potential radiation fallout could we be looking at?

I didn’t vote for either so I had NO expectations. We’ll agree to disagree. It’s worse because the Biden Deep State did not bomb Iran. The Trump Deep State did. That’s the difference.
True, they didn’t. But do you believe they wouldn’t have if Biden had gotten a 2nd term ?
To me, it feels like Trump was a gamble, with an outside chance to get something better, but ultimately, it didn’t pay off.
In the end, we’re none the wiser.

Indeed, though the problem was either him or the barely comprehensible blow-up doll. The US has a major leadership problem because it has a major cultural problem.

The “…but Kamala” argument has been about outcome, not expectations. Kamala/Biden had 4 years to F*ck it up. And they did a splendid job. Trump has been in office for 6 months and it’s a shitshow. Please, stop focusing on the Biden administration and acknowledge what the current administration is doing.

I didn’t vote for either Harris or Trump. I have NO expectation. The Biden team needs to be mentioned and considered as Tony Blinken and Lloyd Austin were steering the US to a confrontation with Russia. They antagonized Russia while severing all diplomatic ties. And yet no bombs were dropped by the Biden Deep State.
Trump the Peace candidate comes in vowing to end the forever wars and gets involved in a hot war with Iran at the behest of Israel. I have ZERO faith in politicians as George Carlin said it best: Forget the politicians, it’s the owners who own you.
