@PresentWitness_ Sunk Cost Fallacy
You cannot simply stop Iran from launching cheap Shaheds at tankers without an incredible build up of force, requiring the deaths of countless soldiers
The correct play isn't to make the mistake worse
🇮🇱 Netanyahu reveals the REAL reason for the war.
It has nothing to do with nukes.
Build oil pipelines through the Middle East straight to Israeli ports.
It is all about money and control.

If they bomb 100% they lose leverage.
At least now the participants like Arab countries and US will come to the table for a deal and not set out to completely destroy Iran.
Iran had the ability to cause such significant disruption to the global economy at 0% but chose not to at 100% when Gen. Soleimani was assassinated in 2020, their embassy in Damascus bombed in 2024, and their nuclear facilities “obliterated” last year.
Iran has shown remarkable
Our President has instituted an artificial price cap on oil of $100/bbl by manipulating the futures markets.

Trump is a cryptosocialist.
Anyone pricing in a 20% Volcker rate following Iran driving down metals doesn't understand that the US had a 31% debt to GDP ratio in 1979
It's more than 4x higher today
4% long term rates bankrupts America
20% does it practically overnight
Don't sell your metals
The global oil supply chain is so disrupted that the universal commodity pricing mechanisms have broken down.
The $110 dollar price you are seeing quoted in the West is currently decoupled from Asia. India is paying $150.
