Did WWIII just start?

Now the USA gets Iraqi oil to their terms

How is $100-200 dollar a barrel oil "their terms?"

How is making flight unaffordable for all except multi-millionaires. . "their terms?"

How is doubling or tripling the price of any consumer good shipped by truck, and poor & middle class folks in Europe, unable to heat their homes in winter, "their terms?"

You are talking about yourself - aka the common people

I am talking about "Them" it all works out pretty well for them doesn't it?

And!!
Net Position: Despite these oil imports, the U.S. has been a net exporter of total petroleum since 2019, as its high volume of exported crude and refined products exceeds its imports.

You are clueless and flailing

Iranian citizens need to be free. The regime there has spread terrorism and killed thousands of their own. It cannot be an extended war though for the U.S. The world economic harm alone would make this untenable. The GOP are now viewed as Neo Cons again, this is devastating for 2028, so they need to have a plan and different plausible scenarios they can end this war with the declaration of a "win". Technically, this could have been declared after a day or two.

How does blowing up oil depots turning the sky black help these Iranian people we care so much about?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

It is about opportunity and long term interests.

N Korea has nukes. That is the reminder as to why Iran must NOT obtain them.

Numerous members of the Manhattan project and Einstein himself all wished they had not unleashed the power of the atom bomb, they realized that they may have contributed to the end of human civilization at some point in the future.

Their fears are well founded. We have only avoided this outcome through dumb luck. The fewer states that have them the better, especially unstable ones.

America today is a very unstable State, ruled by a dictator attacking anyone he chooses without approval from Congress

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The fact that N. Korea has had nukes for some time, and the situation on that peninsula has not changed, is actually an argument as to why this war did not need to happen.

That’s brilliant!

Iran is a communist plant. Russia and China wish to maintain this regime and the Iranians want to be free, not have their daughters executed for not wearing face cover. We need America and our Israeli brothers to win. You may not understand what it does to ones soul to be repressed, but I assure you that it is excruciating. The Iranians understand this feeling and they must be free. G-d demands it of humans. Do NOT support repression, help alleviate it.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Oh, you mean the thousands this asshole killed?

If in fact the USA and our “greatest ally” hit the desalination plant and destroyed the oil depots, they have started a process that might kill millions of innocent Iranians

Trump and Bibi belong in the dock at The Hague

So we bomb them instead

Are you sure that’s the best way to make friends and influence people?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

This interesting. And on-topic:

The threat assessment said Iran was not developing a nuke

Interesting

 

[CrusaderFrank]

“World wars”, by definition, require large alliances of opposing nations going to war against one another

Who exactly is going to war to defend Iran?

Anyone?

And, no, whatever secret material/ intelligence aid Russia or China may or may not be giving Iran does not count

Possibilities include China, Russia and Turkey

[CrusaderFrank]

It hasn’t been proven that the U.S. did this. This was a preplanned IRGC operation and you’re too stupid to know it.

We also remember that at hospital in Gaza that was struck by a Palestinian missile that failed, but scumbags like you went ahead and blamed Israel.

Israel only targets Amelikites

Israel is bombing Beirut with white phosphorus

By hitting the oil depots and desalination plant Israel just made most of Iran uninhabitable. So much for our caring for the Iranian people

 

[SaxonJackson]

As of today ... WWIII looks more possible than it did a week ago. Russia seems like they're readying themselves. China is kicking back analyzing Hegseth's tactics via satellite. As the USA and its masters in Israel continue to deplete their weapons stockpile, China becomes more dominant by default.

92,000 jobs lost in February coupled with much higher gas & diesel prices (as of today) and things aren't looking very well for the Warmonger in Chief.

Their military assets is fair game I suppose. In fairness, how many times have rockets been fired into Israel from a terrorist group funded by Iran? Beyond that, there are also U.S interests in having a stable, free govt in Iran.

Just because a nation has missile interceptors now does not mean they should be an open target. Imagine if that technology had not been developed? How many Israelis would have been killed over the last decade alone?

Go after their military installations and bring freedom to the people. China does not like these regime changes because they are feeling the heat themselves, America is aggressively recruiting Chinese military an intel agencies. Yes, the WORLD needs to be free.

I will never wish for the death of an innocent person, it is horrific to even think about it. The despots need to be replaced so that citizens are free. Only nations who centrally control their citizens fates do not want regime changes or liberty for citizens.

Yet you support repression and terrorism, but are too dumb to know it.

Stop making excuses!

Figure it out!

We lied about our motivation. Iran is now on a downward death spiral

The get most of their water from the desalination plant, as does Israel

If Israel nukes Iran, will you still support it?

It's called "The Samson Option." If the Khazars are threatening to use it -- it must mean that they're nearing defeat. The "Option" is a "last resort" method of "winning at all costs." In other words ... if Israel is about to go down ... they're taking everyone else down with them.
