      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.

      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.

        I suppose it's justifiable if you see the world through a religious lens.

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

            The whole reason we call them illegal aliens is because they’re subject to our laws.

              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.

                          I was only joking

                            https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2026/03/20/iran-oil-sanctions-trump/

                            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.
