    Let’s see what kind of war time President Trump is. He’s crossed the Rubicon although I agree the Iranian regime left him no other choice than military action.

    Speaking of Rubiocons, was Marco trying to Blink out a message in Morse code last night? And how much eyeliner was JD wearing?

                @jon-nyc Interesting video. Just wondering why it was necessary to send decoy planes to the west.

                (Minor point, but Who are they trying to fool? I think everybody pretty much knew what was potentially going to happen. The Iran nuclear plants are so big and so complex, it is not like you could pack things up, put them in a car trunk and drive it somewhere else.)

                      It’s not the 70’s. That will negatively affect UAB, Oman, and Asian countries. China, Japan, South Korea, etc… Very little of that oil goes to the west.

                        Except oil is fungible so if you cut off supply anywhere those not getting it will seek it elsewhere and bid up prices.

                        Though I agrees this wouldn’t be nearly as painful as it was 50 years ago.

                            Imagine the impact. They drop a 30,000lb skinny aerodynamic bomb from 40,000 ft. It’s going Mach 1+ when it hits. 80% of the weight is the casing. It can go through 200ft of 5,000 psi concrete. Then the 5,000 bomb goes off.

                                How about the Trump admin managing not to leak any details of this op before it happened. I'm proud of them.

                                  I wonder how you even do damage assessment for something like Fordo. Probably sigint from the Iranians once they figure it out. Which may well take months.

                                          One step away from a ridiculous conspiracy theory. Careful there. I'm sure the buzz didn't make its way to twitter, out of deference to the administration.

                                          Education is extremely important.
