US-Iran War Mudpit Thread

[Oldcarpy2]

Progressive academic Democrats don't know what a woman is, while the mantra thier body, their choice is just seemingly an American virtue or right.

Elsewhere, OTHER countries' women can be beaten, jailed, and killed for not wearing proper dress, subjected to 2nd class citizenship standards as long as thier religious leaders threaten death to America.

What's this definition of a woman guff got to do with bombing Iran?

Like Trump for instance?

Of course.
But ... separate issue.

Iran has attacked the Palau-flagged oil tanker Skylight as it was passinf through the Strait of Hormuz right off the coast of Oman. 4 sailors wounded in the attack. The entire crew has been evacuated.

Current situation at the Strait of Hormuz: 1. A vessel off the coast of Oman has been attacked 2. At least 250 ships have dropped anchors across the Middle East Gulf and coasts of Oman/UAE 3. War risk insurers have submitted cancellation notices for policies on ships in the Strait of Hormuz 4. Maersk is now suspending all shipments through the Strait of Hormuz 5. Brent oil prices are trading up +10% over the counter 6. Regional leaders warn US that $100/barrel oil is a “clear and present danger” Insurance costs in the Strait of Hormuz are skyrocketing.

BREAKING! Maersk, the world's largest container shipping company, announced temporary suspension of key shipping routes through two critical Middle East chokepoints due to heightened security risks from ongoing military escalation.

It's already increased the cost of oil and is going to increase the cost of even further the longer this goes on, also causing problems with all any container ships already trying to pass through the straits.

People can say whatever they want. They don't have the capabilities to hit the US.

So because their missiles can't hit America, it's okay for t hem to have nuclear weapons?
What about the people within the circle of what they can hit ?
Like Europe.  Saudi Arabia.  UAE.   Israel.   Jordan.   etc?
What about suitcase nukes?   Dirty bombs?   Those can travel anywhere.

Iran promises 'death to America, death to Israel, death to our allies'.
They are actively trying to get nuclear weapons to do that.
It's odd that people dismiss the threats (promises) as not serious.

Of course.
But ... separate issue.

Im seeing the connection between the events.

Separate issues by definition, maybe. 

But hardly by association.

Hard to argue that the war in the Middle East is not a distraction.

It's a dangerous hand to play imho.

Unless, of course, you are not going to be around to play that manny more...

Do you imagine it will be all over in a few days?

I think the repercussions will be on the horizon for a while if im honest.

The admin and you in the summer said we wiped it all out and it wasn't a problem anymore. We had to do that so we wouldn't have to do more, remember?

What happens when you tell people that they can't have a thing Flyers?

Ultimately, what does that serve to achieve or bring about?

I don't think it's a distraction on purpose.
The Epstein perps are just lucky that it's happening.
I think Iran is it's own separate problem.
Not everything goes back to Epstein.
(and yes, I think like you do, that 
Trump is up to his eyeballs in the 
Epstein thing).

So many other ways to make money through insider knowledge, that is less skeevy.

Yes, the Trumps have figured out how to rake in through crypto

They may not be able - yet - to produce their own nukes, but I wonder if they might be "available" elsewhere?
