he/they. profanity in replies is auto muted. "neo"-liberal. militant atheist. not socialist. not MAGA. But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me just how I should feel today! pro-west, not pro-peace.

yes. And I don't see how the US can invade Iran without many millions of troops, and more trillions of increased govt debt.

U.S. Plan to Unblock Strait of Hormuz Collides With Realities of Global Insurance The U.S.-centric insurance idea runs counter to the realities of an international market, according to industry executives.

"U.S. officials called London insurers and brokers, trying to figure out how the market operates, industry insiders said."

When applied to the current administration, I urge caution in using terms like "plans," "strategy," "policy," or "doctrine."

Pentagon bars press photographers over β€˜unflattering’ Hegseth photos Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s staff took issue with photos taken in a rare briefing last week and decided to shut out press photographers from two subsequent news conferences.

Exclusive: The Defense Department has barred photojournalists from briefings on the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran after they published photos of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that his staff deemed β€œunflattering,” according to two people familiar.

that's not acceptable either. Israel and Europe must not live under threat of Iranian missiles, nuclear or not.

a promise from this president is worthless, and even if he gave Iran that promise, the next president is not bound by it.

it's not refusing to. it doesn't have anywhere near enough ships to do it.

How should we reward Iran for doing America such a big favour?

That's what Norway does. It's not what the UK or US can do.

The global corporations extracting and refining oil in America give Americans all the oil we want for free first, then sell the leftovers to foreigners. That is exactly how it works.

Don’t try and explain futures to this guy….
