I still don't know whether a drone attack is less worse than a suicide attack.
I guess that's another war to end all wars to add to the list

#22The US will make a LOT of money from selling their oil at premium.

*Edit: Now I understand that some companies may make more money, but the economy overall may suffer.
*Seems like I hit a nerve with stereotypical people groups.

#23One of the self-owns of all time. Triggering a global supply chain crisis right before midterms is bottom of the barrel strategy. But then again, who expects competency from any recent American administration, most especially this one?
Depends, I just want to point out that the US is a net exporter of Oil. They also secured oil imports from Venezuela while at the same time in 2 strokes seriously hurt Chinese oil imports.
If the goal was to hurt China / BRICS and kneecap Iran it seems on point.
It's always hard to predict how the USA will vote when "war" is happening.

#24While some naysayers might claim the US has entered the FO stage after the commencement of FA, I have full faith in the ability of great minds like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth to navigate the sea of uncertainty and achieve strategic victory!

#25Noone could’ve seen this coming, how were they supposed to know that the strait of hormuz is so important!
I'm actually somewhat surprised Iran is openly telling us they are using underwater drones for this. That piece of technological advance has gone mostly under the radar (!) so far.

The Ukraine would like to have a word.

These people live on manufacturing crisis after crisis in order to exploit the manic status that they generate. Why worry about how the midterms, if you can create a situation where elections cannot be held at all...?
Yes, it sounds crazy right now, but a lot of things sounded similarly crazy 10 years ago, and here we are.

#27Why did we have to go through all this pain. Was that really necessary? And given we mostly talk about technology here, let me put this through that lens: With all the technology advancement and improvement with access to information in the last 30 years, why does it feel that all of this culminates to more disinformation, more pain, and less understanding?
This is a tale as old as humanity itself. Power-hungry people will always push lies to foster their version of events. This always causes pain and destruction.

#28It was my understanding the the tankers could not be insured or it was prohibitively high cost without the margin cost covered and therefore could not pass through.

Either way for sure this will cause further backlog. And for what.

People are people. Adding tech doesn't change the people very much.

#30This should go into dictionary as definition for "fuck around and find out"
