Yeah, regional powers famously love global powers coming in and taking over the key industries of their competitors on the market via military force.

Abraham accords was the start of all of this. The middle eastern powers have all wanted Iran gone for a long time.
 
Iran has no air defenses left so we aren’t really using standoff weapons now. The gravity bombs we are using are all old stock that we have a nearly unlimited supply of. Cheap guidance systems were attached years ago to follow a laser beam or glide to GOS coordinates. The B-1s being used are already planned for retirement, the B-52s are early Cold War relics that are cheap to fly and work on, and the carrier air can be provided by a carrier that is always in the area. We can keep doing this for months for basically no additional military cost. That means it shouldn’t take long to secure the waterways from missile attack. There’s really no good reason for oil prices to be rising aside from pump and dumps.

It’s short term shock and panicked markets. This is going to stabilize very quickly. We can build a a foothold on the southern edge of iran and protect Khrag island and the straight from any attacks. Oil will flow again very quickly and the US (along with our middle eastern allies) will control it all.

Let’s also not forget the ramp up in Venezuela. In two months oil will be at its 4 year low.
 
In two months oil will be cheaper than it’s been since trumps first term. It’s going to be great to revisit these takes.

I just want their cigars to be easy to lay hands on. I used to have sources, 25+ years ago. Guys would visit and take labels from domestic cigars and put them on the Cubans to bring them back, but there was no doubt it was the real thing when you smoked it. The cigars they got the labels from would always cost more than the Cubans they put them on.
 
I can’t wait to see the markets react when it’s clear to everyone we have full operational control of Irans oil in the south along with dominance of the waterways.

What is your line when it comes to imperialist bullshit?

Imperialism got a bad wrap.

It was good for the world. We are making the world better.

In no world should an Islamic theocratic dictatorship have control of key global energy markets.

So my line is certainly not taking them out ruthlessly.
