I remember before the election I read a few people on HN say Trump is the most anti-war president they have ever seen and that all the talk about him letting Israel flatten Palestine was fearmongering. Wonder how they feel now.

For example, roughly 50% of our missile stockpiles have been depleted during this "excursion."
The cost to operate the Federal government for one day is about $18 billion.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Note that it doesn't count the cost of second- or third- order effects (like the cost from the price of oil going up by 50%). Since February 28, crude oil prices increases cost $42 billion in the United States alone.
What are the second- and third order effects of the Marg Bar Amrika Society getting a nuclear device (and the missiles to deliver it)?
MAD has had its virtues extolled, yet assume it won't work with another country because somehow they are even more irrational (if true). Even though that is exactly for whom the MAD strategy is designed and operates under.
It is only the build up of Iran getting a nuclear weapon that is used to go to war.
The game theory here seems rather simple, honestly.
And if Iran is seen as hostile, we need to look at the countries for whom the USA allies with and what wars they launched in the region. And they are plausible nuclear capable where their neighbors are not.
I think Israel is currently a larger aggressor, literally flattening more towns through demolition.

Probably comparable to North Korea getting a nuclear device and the missiles to deliver it.
Does North Korea send missiles and drones to it's neighbors?
For context Doge saved 2-3 billion by independent estimates. And cut some of the most important international aid around the world.

It's so odd to me that people think the cost of oil going up is universally bad. It's good both morally for me and financially for many people.
