    Ya think?

    Actually, as much as I dislike Netanyahu, he is the only coherent belligerent in this war. The logic he uses behind Isreal’s engagement and objectives are clearly articulated regardless of whether or not one agrees with him. The same cannot at all be said for his American ally no matter who is behind the mic, the X post or Truth Social tantrum.

    Elbows up!

      There's reasonable speculation that Israel knew of 9/11 prior to the event and kept silent as it would likely work out in Israel's favor. It isn't out of bounds to think that they might not have shared their plans in the current situation.

        Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has imbued U.S. military actions with a Christian moral underpinning that suggests they are divinely sanctioned.

          Am sure there’s speculation about it and a lot of other known unknowns. Whether any can be classified as reasonable however remains an unknown unknown.

              What a great idea. Let's unite the Muslim world against the infidels. Almost as good as alienating one's allies.

                  This could explain the above. The market is pricing in 5.2% inflation for the next 12 months. In 3 weeks, it's gone from pricing in a rate cut to pricing in a rate increase.

                    A perfectly sound reason then for the rest of NATO to continue to let Trump and Hegseth’s Templars have at it on their own over there.

                    Not a banner I would ever consider having our troops to fight under.

                              How many times is Trump going to win this war?

                              He’s so amazing.

                                Trump administration lifts sanctions on millions of barrels of Iranian oil

                                As oil prices soar, Treasury Department has lifted sanctions on Iranian crude already loaded onto vessels — giving Iran’s war effort against the U.S. a boost.

                                  Power plants targeted (‘obliterated’) if not.

                                        This makes it harder for Trump to later decide that he's going to declare victory and let the rest of the world worry about the strait. That will be a very obvious L after this.

                                          Well he doesn't mince words.

                                          Perhaps Iran attempting to strike Diego Garcia base with long range missiles touched a nerve.
