These "decapitation" strikes can't be much more than narcissistic projection. Trump and Netanyahu are "unilateralists" (de facto dictators) and narcissists, and think everyone else must be as well, ergo decapitation strikes must be successful. It may have been true in the case of Maduro, but the jury is out (we also "decapitated" Hugo Chavez in the early 2000s but he came roaring back). It is emphatically not true in…

This^, also quite bizarre to read all the blood thirsty comments above… what is this, 4chan?

btw fertilizer prices are now 40% higher this is going to destroy world economy on every angle fuel and now food it's like the Israeli's figured out the answer to their problem was to make it everyone's problem how about we stop giving them offensive weapons, defensive only or we'll be going through this every decade

Why are you blaming Israel? Iran has been fueling the fires for year by send piles of money and weapons to anyone who had a serious plan to attack Israel. Not that Israel is perfect, but there is plenty of blame to go around and recognizing that reality is required before we can even try to think of a solution. (I don't have one)

There are vague allegations of Iran being the "leading state sponsor of terror" on one scale, and then Israel openly doing a genocide and starting wars of aggression and assassinating countless civilian and military leaders on the other scale, with a growing number of American bodies as cannon fodder.

It is up to you to decide where justice lies.

With this prices it is cheaper to make fuel from coal, the break even price was about 80-90 USD/barrel. And if this continues for months this will pushes wind and solar and electrical cars making natural gas and oil much less relevant. Maybe that was the plan.

The Mossad and various abrahamic apocalyptic cults will finally push us into green tech. Maybe I judged them too harshly.

> this is going to destroy world economy on every angle

Oil prices were around $100 for a lot of the early 2010s. It's been three weeks. Calm down.

The plans to destabilize Syria and Iran have existed since the Obama administration. Trump is just the hatchet man.

There is a stark difference between planning something and actually doing it.

Relax, go outside, touch grass. The sun will rise again.

Yeah, and don't forget, this is all about helping the environment and the Iranian people, freeing them from that pesky and unnecessary for life energy by releasing some much needed smoke. /
