Name calling won't lower our gas prices or prevent more of our troops from being killed. I am saddened how much damage neocons like you have done to America for your own interests. A new generation will usher in a new moral direction.
Mark R. Levin@marklevinshow

Ro Khanna is a Jew-hating, America-hating demagogue, yet the media continue to give him airtime as some kind of a legitimate politician.  The media are promoting the very hate these bastards are spewing. jewishinsider.com/2026/04/ro-kha…

This war can be summed up by a single sentence from Netanyahu's 1993 book, A Place Among the Nations. "The task of Israel’s leaders is to try to convince the American government that it is in the interest of the United States to follow policies that cohere with Israeli interests, not vice versa." It's almost like they say it right to our faces!

Islamabad Accord my ass. I just don’t see how the Iranians can agree to reopen Hormuz for short term relief from aggression. In my understanding, there is no one left in Iran that can credibly oppose proliferation or the toll booth. They do not have any answer to the problem of dissuading the aggressors. But the problem is deeper than the narrow problem of reassurance after a failed attempt at decapitation and general barbarism. The bigger problem is that the west can no longer be trusted. They can’t credibly promise anything. All dealings have to be arms length. We talk in straight power terms. Those are the rules now.

Those claiming "great success" militarily ignore reality. Destroyed enriched uranium? No. Destroyed missiles? No. Destroyed drones? No. Opened strait? No. Collapsed regime? No. We did kill a bunch of kids though. Must be the Israeli metric of "success".

"Two decades ago, a president embraced information that turned out to be wrong, and disaster followed. Today, a president disregards assessments that proved to be right, and the predictable comes to pass. There's a failure of intelligence there too—just not the kind we’re used to seeing." theatlantic.com/national-secur…

Saudi Aramco raised its May oil price for Asia to a record +$19.50/barrel, up from just +$2.50. Higher fuel costs for Asia (China, India, etc.) More pressure on global oil prices.

“The United States faces a difficult choice: either commit to a long-term effort to reassert control over the Strait of Hormuz, or accept a new global energy arrangement in which U.S. control is no longer assured. If it chooses acceptance, the outcome is clear: The international system will reorganize with Iran as a fourth center of global power. Yet if the United States chooses to reassert military control, it is in for a long battle, one it could well lose.” Not sure about the last fudge. Even if the US is able to establish beachheads, build land power forces in Iran and conquer Iran, the war will continue as a counterinsurgency war. The US simply does not have the ability to field enough divisions to get the job done. Very hard to see how the US can avoid strategic defeat even with an unbounded land commitment and a draft. nytimes.com/2026/04/06/opi…

Striking Iran’s electric grid & economy WON’T end the war. It WILL: 1. Make the Hormuz Tollbooth *more* valuable as revenue (bad for US) 2. Provoke retaliation on Gulf electric grids, which region relies on to desalinize water. Iran doesn’t. (Also bad for US) WSJ gift link on this awful idea: wsj.com/world/middle-e…

The people who were the architects of the Iraq War and the leaders in deceiving Americans into it suffered no career harm of any kind. To the contrary, they thrived even more (Jeffrey Goldberg leads The Atlantic). And that tells you so much about US politics and this war:
Mark Dubowitz@mdubowitz

Two surprises from this Iran war: First, how much more successful the American and Israeli militaries have been than anticipated. Second, how many Americans on this platform appear emotionally committed to an Islamic Republic of Iran victory.

This underscores the central dilemma in trying to get Iran to a deal: "Iranian officials made clear to the mediators they don't want to be caught in a Gaza or Lebanon situation where there is a ceasefire on paper, but the US and Israel can attack again whenever they want to." For now, Iran believes its control of Hormuz is the thing that will prevent such an outcome: that the ability to cause chaos in the global economy will serve as a deterrent in the future. Plus it wants to use the strait as a revenue stream. Yet for America (and Gulf states) there is no acceptable deal in which Iran retains such control. So for the American negotiators, Hormuz looks like a point of leverage that Iran should trade for security and economic benefits; for the Iranians, Hormuz itself is a security and economic benefit. axios.com/2026/04/06/ira…

The national average price of gasoline is $4.07/gal w/ diesel at $5.57/gal, but we're likely just hours away from another large cycle in prices that may reach many price cycling states. I expect by EOD, the national average could be $4.15-$4.20/gal or so... stay tuned for alerts

The Iran war is effectively ‘a tax’ on U.S. households that could accelerate the economy’s widening K shape, Moody’s has said.

"If 3 months ago you told millions of brave Iranians protesting the regime across Iran including on this university campus that by “Help is on the way”, US/Israel mean they will destroy your places of learning, your country’s industrial base and pharmaceutical factories, they would call you crazy." This may be true, I don't know enough about what people in Iran think to tell, but to be clear no person who is even remotely familiar with how Israel is fighting and clear-headed about Trump should be surprised by any of that. You could have read dispatches from Beirut by Tom Friedman, who is not exactly a rabid anti-Zionist, in 1982 and predict what was going to happen.

Israel/US attacking one Iranian university campus after another. If 3 months ago you told millions of brave Iranians protesting the regime across Iran including on this university campus that by “Help is on the way”, US/Israel mean they will destroy your places of learning, your country’s industrial base and pharmaceutical factories, they would call you crazy.

This is the thing I'm hung up on. Dubowitz spent 10+ years angrily denying that the realistic alternative to the JCPOA he opposed was war. Now the war he denied his ideas would lead to is here and he's just shamelessly smearing the people who were right.
