Misc This Means WAR

This isn’t going to go over well with the ordinary Iranian folks and that’s probably putting it mildly. Hitting infrastructure is hitting the people to paraphrase what my Iranian-American friend said. Not good!
 
And to add to that. the U.S. is reportedly running low on munitions! Iran must know this.

Like the old cliche boxing shows. One fighter let's the other expend alot of energy before fighting back and winning. I don't think Iran has the fire power to win but they aren't stupid and sure haven't lobbed their best at us yet.
 
Ukraine was not the only thing affecting prices. Biden doing the following affected price then and still has an affect.
  • Suspending oil and gas leasing on federal lands
  • Delaying permits for energy infrastructure and pipelines
  • Draining our strategic petroleum reserves, compromising both our energy and national security
  • Begging foreign regimes like Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Venezuela for more oil
  • Emboldening Putin with Nord Stream II
Hey boo… you may already know this and are ignoring it but just in case don’t…
As of this week, the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) contains approximately 311 million barrels of crude oil. That’s the lowest level since 1983. That’s 35 million barrels lower than the lowest level during Biden’s presidency (June 2023 346 million barrels). If draining our SOR compromises our National Security… wouldn’t you say Trump has really screwed us

In all respect to your friend, if he is correct, not much is gonna go over well with them.

You mean a “rope-a-dope” à la Ali “Rumble in the Jungle” strategy?
Indeed, Iran won’t win unlike Ali’s great rd 8 knockout of big George.

Not really. In this case, the better analogy is a man has an annoying fire ant nest in his yard. The ant is trying to sting the man and the only way it wins is if he gets tired and leaves or his wife(the public) gets tired and calls him in the house to fix the sink.

Right now, the man is just peeing on the mound. He hasnt pulled the propane torch, the magnifying glass, ant poison or gasoline out yet.

Then the man is a idiot.....peeing on ant hills dont do anything but piss off the ants.

Iran doesnt have to win they just have to not lose and time is on their side. The US is now forced to negotiate to open a body of water that was already open.
 
I'm going to say this we going to war with China right before Trump's out of office or after I don't want to say too much but let's just say the military can watch you live from space this is how they know where Iran have stuff hidden when Trump says every time it does a press conference said we got them under surveillance. That's what he's talking about .but I can't say much more.

Oh no mad ants…The insect world cowers…

Time is on their side, how? I mean if we get distracted? Maybe. Or if Trump finds a new shiny toy? Probably. But if the plan is to stretch Iran until they make everyone hate them to the point of helping eradicate them? Right on time.
