I'm inclined to view physical reality as more informative right now than financial markets. But who knows?

sky, do your oil friends think the strait is opening tomorrow?

Trader sentiment that the war is over conflicts with physical reality that 3,000,000 tons of oil a day are not moving.

Both of these things cannot continue for long.

How close can a DDG get to a TI-class super tanker? Is this mission taught in SWOS?

Chat, is it bad that the USN has 27 ships in service remotely suitable for escorting tankers in the Persian Gulf, none of which have anti-submarine capability, and 4 minesweepers?

But you forget that convoy duty is gay, and we can't ask our warfighters to serve on tiny moid ships like frigates.

Can't wait for the boys to force the strait, only to realize "the strait" refers not just to the literal strait itself, but the 200-600 mile transit west of it, in the duck pond called "the gulf."

That's a problem for future you. Man, I don't envy that guy.

The outcome of the Trump's war being that the US Navy is proven incapable of protecting sea lines of communication and keeping open international choke points would be pretty funny. Let the American Century of Humiliation continue.

Actual conspiracy of Nazis and Jewish fascists.

It's a real problem that repeating people's own words sounds like an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory.

The problem is that Klein was friends with this person in the first place.

Randy Fine would have been removed from committees and risked expulsion in 2019.

This is the Republican party now, aided and abetted by a lot of "centrists."

He is centralizing power in his person and he is the state. Why is this so difficult for some people?

Iran has 92 million people and is 636,000 square miles.

French army doctrine, 1912-1940. Not, like, at an expert level, just more than comparable dads, which is easy because the base level of dad knowledge of the French side is zero.

Extremely clever in an evil way. Totally against international law to close an international waterway like this. The US and the Arabs can't accept this without utter humiliation, and they won't. But then that means they're continuing to murder schoolgirls over tolls.

Proper Democratic tax reform would have high income wage earners unaffected but car dealers and Elon Musk blowing their own brains out.

That's why we need base broadening reform. Which isn't that hard now with the base so rotten.

You crush the Rs simply with enforcement and taking away all their handouts like 199A.

This is why I keep saying that removing the social security wage cap is insane because it would be a guided missile at the new D base.

Americans actually don't hate paying taxes that much. It's more that politicians like tax cuts. The public tends to be indifferent to them.
