Oil price up by 60% in the last month - $110+ today for Brent Crude. “Drill baby, drill!” . . . . . . Oh wait.

Khamenei's son elected new supreme leader. Supposedly more hardline than his old man. This won't end well.

Some Iranian leader talking about us being able to tolerate oil at $200+ per bbl, suggests they’re in this for the long haul.

But Donald says the war is “very complete, pretty much.” Can’t help thinking of the famous football quote “they think it’s all over.”

He was coming out with some shite last night that it could've been an Iranian tomahawk missile that caused it. Then when pushed by the press that even his own generals and defence secretary weren't claiming that, he just said "it's being investigated". Trump is so used to getting away with telling porkies and never being held to account for anything.

The most powerful and dangerous man on this plant toils with coherence. Note particularly when someone has written his script, which is every time, he pauses after the last word in the written line before stuttering out the next word on the line below. The unwritten on the hoof stuff is much worse, made up rubbish, substituting or repeating words, such as when he gets stuck on a word he doesnae quite have a grasp of and repeats it multiple times before finishing the sentence. He reminds me of a human Foghorn Leghorn.

Well, that should make him amenable to holding peace talks
I read that Iran is using plastic and cardboard drones, which cost about $8 to make, and the yanks and murderous zionists are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on patriot missiles to shoot them down because they can't differentiate between real and fake ones. If that's true, Iran is going to win this war that they didn't start in the first place because the real axis of evil will run out of weapons before they do.
Looking for Trumplethinskin to back down while declaring victory, and try to move on, which won't suit his war criminal buddy Netanyahu one bit.

Indeed. You read my mind DubsterWell, that should make him amenable to holding peace talks
Yessirree.. I also read that Iran took out a nearby refinery (or some similar facility) that costs £300M (and many years) to build. With drones that are less than £10k a pop. Warfare just aint like it used to be.
Apparently the yanks didn't ask the Ukranians for any advice on dealing with said drones either. It's almost like they're completely and utterly clueless.
I think both men were happy to two-foot tackle this, but the orange one far more likely to stop once all his Epstein-scene friends tell him how expensive it all is for them and their companies/countries.
The oil price for example, isn't just about, well, oil. All the by-products made downstream of extracting it, they go into just about everything man. Helium that goes into computer chips. Urea into fertilizer. Sulfuric acid for copper processing (green energy stuff).
World economy going into a proper slide in very short order if this shit doesn't get sorted pronto.

This whole post is worth reading on where things are at for the US:
danieldrezner.substack.com
This bit near the end stood out for me though, relates to exactly what you posted yesterday @Dub :
The United States might be able to destroy Iran’s ability to mine the Persian Gulf and fire drones and missiles wherever it wants — but a Bloomberg Economics analysis suggests that it is easier and cheaper for Iran to build more drones than for the United States to build more interceptors that defend against such attacks.
The result, if Iran chooses to prolong the war, is a global economy at risk of surprising shortages and stagflation and a United States that will burn through more than $10 billion a week as long as the war stays at this tempo..
It should be stressed that almost all of this was eminently predictable from the outset. As the Atlantic’s Franklin Foer explains:
Dog help us.

Gulf War Three is not going well for the United States.

I heard someone on telly say that the war criminal Netanyahu has wanted to attack Iran for years and is doing it now because he's found a USA president dumb enough to go along with him.This whole post is worth reading on where things are at for the US:

Aye sounds spot on. Some will say its kompromat, some will say distraction from domestic shitshow, but occams razor likely applies. This president is fucking thick and can be played like a fiddle by anyone with a modicum of sense; and most certainly anyone with a streak of evil cunning like that bastard.

100% although if I may add to this....
Remember folks, unless my auld living memory serves me otherwise, which is possible, it took the United States and Allies, 20 years, several trillions of dollars, and four fucking Presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.

Just watching the ever frustrating QT, and of course they have been talking about the war in Iran.
I just can’t stand the almost accepted narrative that it is happening because the good guys are trying to relieve poor Iranians from there mad dictator regime.
Can you see the irony here
.
Of course, it has fuck all to do with the goodwill from USA and Israel. It is the combination of a madman and a comprised fuckin idiot.
But QT doesn’t really touch on that. They score party points or Newspaper readers allegiance. The program is a waste of time, never mind question time.
These next Tuesdays claiming their forces should go and fight, should have to either go themselves or send their off spring to potentially die. They would then I’m sure have a different narrative.
Most would agree if we were being attacked, we must defend ourselves, and life’s will be lost, but defend ourselves we must.
I’m not aware Iraq, Afghanistan and now Iran were ever an imminent threat to us, apart from the shite they try and tell us .
WMDs anyone ?
When will our leaders or more so America ever learn. And if Isreal ever want accepted in that region, they are going a funny way about achieving that goal.
But they don’t really do they.
And as an aside, a member of the audience has just spoken. His name is Gary Locke

Seems like the middle East countries are trying to agree security deal with Iran to re-open the seas again. Pakistan, India, all siding with Iran...meanwhile Trumpet is meeting with Russian envoys as Putin plays him like a fiddle backing Iran along with China. And Trumpet lifts sanctions so Russia can make a fortune from oil. You couldn't make it up

You are very correct. I do believe in listening to some shite in case someone talks sense, but alas I end up frustrated.
Frustrated to a point where I get almost depressed by it all.
But sometimes idiots can tell you something you don’t know, every days a school day and all that.
The frustration of folk getting killed for no reason brings me down, and the frustration of some folk defending it just floors me .

It seems universally accepted that Iran directly funds multi terrorist groups and the cold hand of the indoctrinated muslims is spread across the globe amongst the asylum seekers/immigrants. Not saying that this justifies this "war" but it would be contributory. Imagine tactical nuclear weapons in the hands of several terrorist groups - for me that's enough to agree that Iran is kept nuclear free.Just watching the ever frustrating QT, and of course they have been talking about the war in Iran.

Is it any wonder there are terrorists?
If a country rained bombs on my house and killed my family I would gladly attempt to get them back any way I could.

IMO my point still stands though. Would you want terrorists to get tactical nucleaqr weapons? It would not just be America /Israel that they would target. You know the real nutters want a muslim planet - no exceptions. So for me, no nukes for Iran who feed these groups.
