I've been wondering what's happening there as we twiddle our thumbs, burning through a billion dollars a day.

Not proportional is correct.
Both vessels that were hit had minimal damage.
But one was Saud....MBS has trump in his pocket....and he is ready for us to go again, all the way.

Bombing Iran


here's my opinion, which I'm sure will be counter to many...If you're going to wage war, than you have to engage with power and actually engage with the intention to win. This entire cease fire thing has been a sham. How do you have an agreement where you stop fighting in return for opening the strait and have the other party, continue to attack ships trying to transit the strait.

I don't know whose idea it was to cease fire, but it was a mistake IMO ( Not saying the original strike was a good idea either). We either turn tail and walk away, or finish the job. No more platitudes about destroying their air force and navy or whatever.

So your 2 options are:

1. Finish the job, which means a large ground force invasion by us troops aka Iraq on a much larger basis vs 600k IRG and all that entails, seizing Tehran and the massive countryside, occupy it and form a new govt. ...a probable 5-8 year project.

2. Walk away without any agreement leaving Iran in charge of the strait of Hormuz.

What a pickle this president has put america in with this asinine stupid decision in Feb.

With those options, I choose #2.

The globe just has to pay the tolls and pass it on to consumers.

what is an "Iowa Swarm Member"?
The Swarm is Iowa’s NIL collective. For a while the mod at the Iowa site was handing those badges out to people who make a certain minimum donation to the collective. Although for some weird reason mine went away despite donating. 🤷‍♂️

It is the Iowa Hawkeye NIL collective. The site/moderator we migrated from added these badges to members when it was in the earlier stages to help spread awareness.
