Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Nope...beg to differ @240B

President Trump has to prosecute this war like an Altar Boy, according to protocol.

No way would he give the global media complex any 'evidence' of American "TROOPS" 'on the ground'.
One hint and the NYT would be publishing their Apartment numbers or GPS coordinates. If they are there, we'll talk about it after the war.

A stray Mk 48 would work better.
While it would be effective, deniability is preferable. Maybe a marine drone that pings their location as belonging to an American Tanker just hard enough it would be hard to override...and let the Iranians take them out.

What proof @verga ?
@Right_in_Virginia I'm sorry di you the stories about them importing/ receiving assistance from Russia and China? Do you think they were just getting running of the mill weapons? What do you think was the purpose of them enriching uranium? Do you think russia was only supplying them with intelligence?

Actually it's a bit like "window", dumping bomber loads of foil strips to mess with German RADARs in WWII. Just updated, and with specific targets to hunt. They could even have a charge on board in case they were intercepted to prevent capture.

MAJOR NEWS FROM LEBANON: Al-Sharq is reporting that the Lebanese President is open for negotiations with Israel

To put this into context, there has NEVER been negotiations between a Lebanese President and Israel. It's illegal since 1955!

We're starting to see glimmers of a post-Hezbollah Lebanon, and it's looking very promising!

Crude oil prices are exploding right now, with Crude Oil WTI up over 10 points in the last few hours, continuing to rise past $116/barrel as the ongoing war in the Middle East shows no signs of ending soon.

It’s going unnoticed because so much other news is happening, but the war drums are beating again in D.C. The warmongers worry this is their last chance to get the white whale they’ve been chasing for thirty years, an all-out regime change war against Iran.

A new Middle East war would be a catastrophic mistake. Our military stockpiles are depleted from three years of backing Ukraine. Our effort to reshore manufacturing has only just begun and will take years to bear fruit. War would worsen our already immense deficit and national debt. Iran is larger than Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan combined. A war would not be easy and could easily become a calamity.

Thanks to President Trump’s restraint during his first term, America has a golden opportunity to pull away from Middle East quagmires for good. We shouldn’t throw that opportunity away so that sone D.C. has-beens can feel tough by sending young Americans to die yet again.

Crude oil prices are exploding right now, with Crude Oil WTI up over 10 points in the last few hours, continuing to rise past $116/barrel as the ongoing war in the Middle East shows no signs of ending soon.

Oh crap!!!  We get paid usually $2 under WTI and they average it for the month.  You'll see every tank that has a drop of oil in it sold within the next few days.  If you see gas hit $4 in flyover country people will start screaming bloody murder.

So, it looks like Trump lied for 11 years and doesn't care what the public thinks of his decision --- and you're grateful.  Conservatives sure are an interesting group.

Help me understand this, @Right_in_Virginia .m  When Trump said he was going to build the wall but didn't, you continued to support him.  When he said he was going to drain the Swamp but instead hired the Swamp, you remained silent.  When Trump said he was going to get rid of waste but instead signed every Democrat spending bill that reached his desk, you defended it.  When Trump ordered missile strikes against the Syrian government less than three months into office, you said nothing.  And when Trump promised to withdraw US troops from Syria but reneged on that promise, again silence from you.

But now that Trump is doing something that helps Israel, you suddenly want to throw him under the bus for an infraction that you have repeatedly ignored in the past.  How do you reconcile that?

That's pretty much it   :laugh:   A little more seriously, Trump's breaking a "sacred" promise and may be on track to throwing away the rest of his presidency.  I hope he gets out of this as quickly as he got into it.

But he broke all those other sacred promises, and you said nothing.  What is different this time (other than Israel being involved)?

$110/bbl oil cuts off the Trump economic recovery at the knees. 

This thing better be over in a few weeks, or it is going to get very ugly politically, and soon.

Maybe we should at least wait until the market opens tomorrow before we cry about the sky falling.  There will be a glut of sellers loading up tankers tomorrow for that price.   Meanwhile, US refineries (which is where gasoline comes from) continue to work on longer-term contracts.
