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.

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
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. -
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.

Yeah, I don't know how one could torture the words otherwise.
They could try to sell it as a Special Military Operation.
Doubt if anyone with half a brain would buy it.
Well ... we are talking about the MAGA folks after all.

I see Trump is trying to sell it as “an excursion”.

The International Energy Agency is working worldwide to get oil released, not only from the US but from from places like Japan, India, etc.
They want to get 400 million barrels released, out of about a total of 1.2 billion total reserves around the world.
But that is only about 20 supply of oil from the middle east. Plus it will take time for these reserves to get moved to where they need to be moved. I think the US has said it will take 120 days to complete teh transfers.

Has anybody gotten a clear understanding of what the overall plan in Iran is?
I know it is kind of a buzzword/cliche question, but....
How do we measure success in the Iran campaign?
kill the leader - check
get a new leader installed - 1/2 check
bomb the country - check
get a US friendly govt??
other?
