    One thing concerns me greatly. Not hearing reports of social unrest in the streets, nothing that resembles an uprising. Seems like we’d be hearing about it if it were occurring.

    Despite the bombs and fully functioning domestic political repression apparatus still firmly in place, people continue to manage and feed their families. When the food becomes scarce and children start going hungry, the masses will take to the streets. That is the way virtually of all revolutions.

              Yes and it’s called fanaticism. Stems from adhering to what is errantly believed to be a creed of absolute truth, religious or secular, the choice is yours to pick and, comes in all shapes, sizes and models.

                  No problem, as I was once corrected by a former poster and self appointed know-it-all here when I raised the issue about stabbing the Kurds in the back, it’s merely realpolitik on the part of Washington.

                    Like Trump, Iran’s new supreme leader is a real estate mogul, with a house on ‘Billionaires’ Row,’ a villa in Dubai, and upscale European hotels

                    https://fortune.com/2026/03/09/iran-new-supreme-leader-mojtaba-khamenei-real-estate-mogul-billionaires-row-villa-dubai-european-hotels/

                    But before the conflict, he largely kept a low profile while accumulating assets around the world. A Bloomberg investigation in January found Khamenei has avoided putting investments in his own name, but they totaled more than $138 million.
                    That includes Swiss bank accounts as well as luxury properties. Among his holdings in several of London’s ritziest neighborhoods is a house on “Billionaires’ Row.” Sources told Bloomberg Khamenei’s real estate empire also boasts a villa in the “Beverly Hills of Dubai” and upscale European hotels.

                              My understanding is strategic reserves across the west have a lot of overall capacity but are rate-limited in how much they can deliver per day thus can’t make up for a closed SoH.

                                Remember when Trump thought that using up the strategic reserve was almost as stupid as invading middle-eastern countries?

                                In other news, we have always been at war with eastasia.

                                I was only joking

                                  I remember when he wanted to sell half the reserves in the first term.

                                      They could try to sell it as a Special Military Operation.

                                      Doubt if anyone with half a brain would buy it.

                                          At this point, should we just expect a complete ecological disaster in SoH if these oil tankers get blown up?
