“Who didn’t see this coming.”
The people buying stocks and selling oil.
Rumors of war.
Ok, so we make a deal with Iran and leave. Oil importing countries patrol the strait and other gulf nations deal with a defanged Iran. Make it so they have no choice.
Where’s that picture of Iranian missiles being launched in all directions , now make 1 for drones
Defanged is not enough, they need to be toothless.
Somebody didn’t read the fine print. The cease fire only applies to the US and not any other country. It is also effective only on days that do not end with “day”. It is also a “two-way” cease fire meaning that Iran can fire both drones and missiles.
what a fuster cluck
Say what, a KGB client state doesn’t keep its agreements?
Btw, I bought stock this morning anticipating the ‘ceasefire’ being violated immediately.
Took a huge hit from the ‘ceasefire’ but that’ll reverse with oil facilities bombed, SAU pipleline bombed, UAE facilities bombed, and strait still closed (”we’ll drone anything we can crossing the strait”). It’s not like they have a toll gate across it.
At the end of the day, this cease fire thing may actually work out well for President Trump.
Only the US is observing the ceasefire.
Been this way since the Korean war.
“There will always be wars and rumors of war.” Matthew 24.
You’re just being an anti-Trumper. Shame, shame, shame on you.
Don’t you know that victory has been declared and we can all just go home now? Those are the rules of Double Cranko 4D Chess, you get to declare you won and instantly things are all better.
Don't call me a professional options trader yet. Just started a few thousand to play with in my quasi-retirement free time.

I know! I keep waiting for people to post that I’m a communist plant from democrat underground
How’s that ceasefire working out?
AT WHAT POINT WILL OTHER ARAB NATIONS SAY “ENOUGH” & GO AFTER IRAN.
