Let’s not.
Let’s gear up our production and manufacturing to pick up the business opportunities which come from higher energy costs in foreign countries.
And If the Europeans holler they can send in their people.
Do not the Saudis have their own load to lock?
What do they do with all that oil money?
Fill your car now...prices have already gone up.
We’ve owed Iran a MAGA-sized azz kicking for forty years.
Time to celebrate “America held hostage” big time.
Man, we are such suckers.
Someone WILL win the engagement and it will not be the USA.
Juuuuust like last time.
During Operation Praying Mantis we had them on the ropes and the ORIGINAL plan was to go ALL THE WAY, yeah, to knock off the mullahs TOTALLY.

We did NOT.
Later during the Green Revolution 5 years ago after 1/2 the Iranian pop was up in arms, taking on cops in the streets, we had our SECOND chance.
Did we do it?
No.
But now? Now that it’s going to cost a WHOLE lot more, all these people are pushing Uncle Sam into it.
Saudi has the means to respond....if they wish.

And at the same time blame Trump for scrapping the Iran deal, that’s what kept the peace, in their twisted logic.
The US is always “locked and loaded” ... or rather “prepared” in case action needs to be taken.
Imagine if Obama has said something like that. He’d have been praised as brave and heroic.
This is not our war. Let the SAudis fight their own war. They have funded terrorism for years.
