Excellent analysis.

Problem is, when you fight your way in, you gotta fight your way out.

“What? Sheesh. That’s worse English than a lot of American journalists’.”

1.That is probably not his/her native languages. How many languages do we speak. In my case, one, barely.

2. His/her mom and dad probably didn’t drop 150K at Cornell or Columbia on their kid’s BA in Journalism.

Yup. If there is no loss of life, Trump will probably just let it go. If there is a lose of US life, all bets are off. Thinking back to last week of Sen Graham’s comment on Sean Hannity’s show about the Iranian oil refinery workers seeking another line of work and Sean pressing it, I don’t believe that conversation was an accident. Petroleum is the life-blood of any military, and in the case of Iran, it’s whole economy. Won’t need 52 individual targets to put their government out of business.

Fox is reporting that initial reports are of no US casualties.

“Problem is, when you fight your way in, you gotta fight your way out.”

Agree. Trump should have pulled troops out of the Middle East and Europe within 6 months of taking office. Europe’s economy is larger than the US, they can afford to fund their own defense and protect the flow of oil from the Middle East. Let the regional powers (Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, the UAE, Egypt, and Israel) sort out their own issues and create a balance of power naturally. The nation cannot afford to borrow a trillion dollars a year to play policeman to the world.

Trump falling into the same trap that Poppy Bush fell into with this war, rising oil prices gave the globalists the excuse to tank the economy and crash the inflated stock market leading to Bush’s defeat (with the help of Perot).

Cruise missiles not HellFires, more bang for the buck

Or as we say in Artillery, FIRE FOR effect

The Chicago way!

Good point. I’ll cut him some slack.
