Last week, I believe, Amir Sarfati gave an update saying that America was significantly amping up operations. He suggested the US was preparing to strike Iran in Iran, or Iranian assets in Iraq. Looks like he was right.
Israel would probably react much differently than we would.
No, that is not what I mean. This is not a great depression. Not unless we elect a socialist in November. It is a short term temporary disruption.
A word now to save lives later. It's called statesmanship.

1929 until 1954, IIRC. Long time for stock market to recover.

Let’s examine that.
Iran IS stupid enough to keep tugging at the pants until they get our attention..BUT..
Our response may be more severe than it would have been if this virus was not happening.
Use some munitions, get the nation to rally around the president even more, get the economy kicking, distract from the RIDICULOUS overblown terror of this serious, but not ebola-serious virus.
It could have benefits, hitting them back much harder this time.
Not yet.
This will play out differently, but it will not be pretty. We are in uncharted territory. This one is a first for the human race.
I think you may be correct.
Trump playing 4-D chess again.
We won’t touch Iran.
____________________
I could not disagree more. Iran continues to poke us and the regime is under massive pressure right now as their nation is being decimated by the virus and by our sanctions.
The Iranian people have reached a breaking point with the regime. A regime that has a history of causing conflicts to divert attention from their own shortcomings.
I take Trump at his word. I am not sure Iran does. I think Trump will inflict great harm on the regime in Iran WHEN they continue the aggressive actions.
I recommend a preemptive thermonuclear strike on Tehran. That will get their attention and incinerate most of their coronavirus walking dead. There will be collateral damage, but it’s Iran, so who cares.
It will also make the rest of the America haters realize that we can back our words with actions.
If it is on Fox News, how will it be a sneak attack?
Iran is just about out of Obama’s pallets of cash, and oil is way cheap. The mullahs will soon be driving used Corollas.
Death from above and below water surface.
I think of it this way: The government are mom and dad, and we are their children.
“Kids, good news. Though dad lost his job and he’ll be on undemployment and we already had several maxed out credit cards and were borrowing every month just to live, we were able to get a bunch more credit cards and we maxed them out so we can make the house payments and keep eating. And when Dad finds work, it will be as a burger flipper for mcDonalds so we’ll have to sell the house and move into a single wide in East LA with a chain link fence. But eventually he’ll be promoted to night manager.”
i.e. we’ll get out of this, but the moves our governments are making do have a very serious future cost.
This is the Black Swan. It’s as plain as the nose on your face. It’s already happened.
I HAVE TO KNOW after all these years!!
Is there really a 4D chess or higher? :)
And if there is, yes he is always playing it.
Exactly.
This time it is obviously different. It’s a different world. One example: My money is in a bank and my home loan is with the bank. My payment is electronically pulled from the bank every month. Why would I need to participate in a “run” since my payments are automatically taken out of the very bank I pay them to? How would they possibly justify saying my money is not available but I still owe them the money? It would be fun to watch it play out, though. :D
So far as I know 4D chess only actually exists
in reruns of Star Trek.
Iran couldn’t attack our troops if they were not there.
Just sayin’.
Bring ‘em home.
If bammy were president he would have told them to go right ahead and that they had nothing to worry about.
There is Someone Else Who is not in the mood for their games either — and like my late husband used to say, when He gets pi**ed off, things start getting scary.
