I’ve heard about this kind of shit, but never seen it myself.

Watches the US getting demolished by Iran in West Asia, starts braying about Russia losing allies. 🤣

Going along with the biggest dumbass in the room isn’t really a smart move in my book.

I love how Micron never misses an opportunity to make it publicly known that he’s an imbecile.

If Iran is defeated it will be a complete disaster for the people there. Just look at Libya or Syria as examples. That’s what the people are facing. This is an existential war against extermination for them.

yeah most companies don’t even bother with the courtesy email anymore

The way that normally works is that the US will isolate a country that can’t fight back and then commit war crimes there for decades because it’s a good profit vehicle for the military industry. They control the level of escalation, and they’re able to turn heat up when they want or to cool things down when they need to.

The difference with Iran is that it’s not isolated, and it’s able to fight back in a meaningful way. The US does not have escalatory dominance in this conflict. And that’s a whole new development for the burger reich.

Yeah, I imagine a lot of traders assumed the US would actually follow through on providing insurance or escorting ships. Now they’re starting to realize that’s not going to happen, and there’s an understanding building of just how severe the impact on the countries dependent on Gulf exports is going to be. So, panic is growing rapidly.

oh absolutely, it’s a war crime plain and simple

edging towards 116 already

Attacking desalination plants is not a front the US wants to open. Another horribly idiotic strategic decision by the burger reich. Iran is 3% dependent on desalination, meanwhile US vassals in the region are at 40-90%.

Yup, the US is largely self sufficient in oil and gas right now. However, if the US cuts the vassals loose, that’s going to be disastrous as well. The US has significant dependence on trade with G7 countries, and if they start collapsing economically, then there’s going to be blow back in the US as well. It’ll likely be a bit more delayed, but I can’t see how the US escapes this unscathed.

oh 100%, they were attacked completely unprovoked

That’s totally doable, if Hormuz stays closed, and I see no reason for Iran to reopen it, prices are gonna keep surging. Most of the energy going to Japan, Korea, and Taiwan was passing through there. They don’t even have large reserves. So, once they start running out, it’s gonna be a bloodbath.

those are rookie numbers, I bet we’ll blow past that in a few weeks

countries that allow US to operate bases on their territory are not victims

At this point, they’d have to leave the whole region. I don’t see why Iran would stop when they’re winning.

Absolutely, the Iran has no reason to allow shipments as long as the war continues, and the US has no ability to protect ships trying to run the blockade. We already saw how that played out in Suez.

Thing is I don’t see any off ramp here for the US. There’s no reason for Iran to do another ceasefire at this point. Their best play is to push the US out of the region entirely.

not to mention that Iran is systematically destroying US radars across the region as we speak
