Second part's definitely likely.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.

Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

It’s fine for Russia to use drones to freeze out your population — by the way, can you give us your drone defenses? This is the actual US position.

I mean, it's not laudatory.

He was an evil man, but he was geopolitically significant, as was the nature of his death.

Statements like this from Trump will make the oil market reaction *worse*

No one who has any idea how the oil market works is buying it—all this does is make it seem like Trump believes it, which means the base case length of this disruption is growing ever-longer.

Tick. Tock.

Don't worry; looks like you'll get an opportunity

Here's the Karoline Leavitt interview people are talking about.

Maria Bartiromo asks if Trump might send ground troops into Iran, because "mothers are worried" about a draft. Leavitt replies that ground troops aren't in the current plan, but Trump won't rule them out. No mention of the draft.

Worth reading for context on potential scenarios going forward.

Oil shock effects could be massively disruptive if this isn't skilfully managed. Given the opening act here, I am not optimistic.

If this is not being turned into a universal campaign ad across the country - I don't know what to tell you.

their excuse was they were trying to locate the remains of an IDF pilot thats been missing since 1986, btw.

slaughtered 41 people. to find a missing skeleton.

So much online conservatism these days is just "I miss being a kid"

a) The U.S. and/or allies begin running up on interceptors;

b) Start seeing airspace denials from MENA allies because of the collateral damage of this reckless war;

c) Hormuz closure really starts to bite; or

d) God forbid the admin goes boots on the ground

Odds they ever apologize?

Encourages reckless city planning, tax arbitrage, etc.

This is pretty fucking rich from the Trump admin who have been trying to screw over this man and his country for over a decade.

But Donald made an oopsie and needs help with the war he started.

Are you suggesting that the President who yesterday offered the casual suggestion of invading Spain, might not be attuned to long-term diplomatic consequences?

It's one of those fringe 'issues' that can almost 100% reliably flag morons

Got it. I'm sorry for your loss. To clarify: You want a eulogy for your father that's 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲, sounds 𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁, and captures the 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗺. I get it. He wasn't just your father — he was your Dad. Here a few options I came up with:

South Texas numbers coming out heavy for Talarico, suggestive of a disproportionate lean for mid-suburban and rural voting mix, which remain less reported.

It is difficult to point this out without recognizing the racial/demographic breakdown. This is TX we're talking about.
