Coming to America.
Commercial contract truck drivers can’t afford to fill up their tanks. They have a 3-day “strike” scheduled for October 1st, but they probably won’t be able to make it that long. Farmers are already going to leave their drought-stricken crops in the fields because it’s not worth it at 50-bushells an acre.
Mass starvation is already unavoidable.
We are in economic free-fall, and nobody sees the sudden stop up ahead.
He was told it was a bad idea to hit Iran, he didn’t listen.
Now they control the Straight of Horboz and Yemen has the Red Sea.
I knew this would not end well and said so. I can see November through my window and the Dems are going to have a field day.
It might work. Strategies like that have been successful thought history. Some of the times anyway.
I am having some doubts. The Iranians are ruthless and have several millennia of experience at suppressing internal rebellions and dissenters from assorted ethnic groups in that country. It is a part of Iranian culture. It is how Iranians expect any government to work and it does not matter who is running the government.
America does not have the ruthless characteristics or experience that Iran has. We are relative amateurs at the real game, going up against an experienced professional team.
The Iranian government has held up under siege far longer than our military planners and political leaders expected. I believe the IRCG still has a lot more capability to hold out than we expect.
And Iran has allies. (Russia, China). American has no useful allies in this war. Worse yet, we have treacherous internal factions who not only oppose the war but actively want America to lose the war.

I doubt that very much. The National Guard or the Army would step in first.
But you’re right about the diesel fuel price problem. Almost everything is affected by that price, one way or another.
The highest average price ever was back in 2022 when Biden was president. The 2026 average prices are perhaps a dime or so less. So it’s close.
Now here’s the thing. The average American voter doesn’t care that Biden still has the record. He does care about the pain he’s feeling today. The GOP leadership doesn’t seem to get that.
we’ve been kicking this can down the road for 47 years. They hate us and want to start WW3 so the 12th imam will come back. They told us they were just about to have their own A-bomb. What should we have done?
You’re right Jeff in that Iran is a serious, long-term problem. The solution to that problem is, in my opinion, what Trump did back in June of 2025. Operation Midnight Hammer wrecked Iran’s nuclear sites.
Repeat as necessary.
Operation Midnight Hammer had a clean and very doable objective. This current operation has neither. It’s a bad example of mission creep.
The highest average price ever was back in 2022 when Biden was president.
Farmers are already leaving crops in their drought-ravaged fields because it now costs more to harvest 50-bushel an acre crops than they are worth.
**Farmers are already going to leave their drought-stricken crops in the fields because it’s not worth it at 50-bushells an acre.**
Where, Cali? Here in south central TN it has been very dry since latter July, very wet for two months previous, leaving the soil very able to support a crop over 2/3 way to maturity. Most crops are mature here, and being harvested at record or near record BPA. I know because I’ve hauling corn and soybeans to the bins for a farmer. Corn so dry, practically no LP gas is being used to dry corn.
The midwest cornbelt has got a record corn crop I hear, soybeans probably as well. They have had more than ample rainfail.
But the fake news media is doing its job, as usual.
oh right, we believe an iranian bot...
Average earnings of Americans are much higher than in Iran. Sure when I traveled abroad (more than 55 countries), food is usually cheaper than in US, but US dollar buys more food there than locals can afford.
Example, I was visiting Mumbai and invited all my relatives to dinner at a good restaurant called Copper-kettle. There were uniformed waiters and great ambiance. There were 15 people in our party. I told everyone to order whatever they really like. When the bill came it was passed around quickly to me. In local currency the bill was more than monthly income of any of my relatives. For me, it was about $100 including tips (1984 prices). The same type of menu in US would have cost $300-400.
I had to research this...now do how much 15 cents us is in Iranian hours worked. Hint: it’s like $37 in the USA.
I don’t see farmers in Michigan doing that, we got adequate rain here.
“ Farmers are already going to leave their drought-stricken crops in the fields because it’s not worth it at 50-bushells an acre.”
A bit confused if you are talking about the US or Iran?
The crops overall in the US are good. Some tough areas in Kansas with wheat, but very good in the Midwest assuming the rain stops
Iran does not hate us. They just want to be left alone.
Ditto!!
I guess we just let them have a nuke?!
What a great strategy! /s
In Morgana’s world America is subservient to everyone!
Well, no thanks. I’ll pay more for gas until it’s all settled. If it means I eat hot dog instead of steak, so be it!!
They’re a psycho death cult.
Let them starve until they decide to throw out the mullahs and the IRGC OR bomb the shiite out of ‘em.
This kind of propaganda is what one gets in wartime.
Are all the Iranians wearing diapers like Putin was said to be wearing the other year in that Ukraine War propaganda.
Not a day goes by I don’t read that China is in bad shape is going down has economic problems I smell lies.
