The cost would be negligible because the drone war and drone dominated no-mans-land in Ukraine is caused entirely by a lack of capability on both sides to both: secure air superiority and counter drones effectively. If NATO were directly fighting Russia in Ukraine, Russian air defenses would evaporate and every Russian drone operator would be cruise missiled and glide bombed into oblivion. Also JATEC exists to educate NATO forces on the war in Ukraine.

Its pretty amusing to see how effective jawboning has been at reducing the price even though the structural situation regarding crude is getting worse by the day. Even if the IAE does its release of 300m barrels they're limited to 2m barrels per day because they physically cannot release any more than that. This is the well known limit of the infrastructure they've had since as far back as Desert Storm. The nonstop tweets with wrong information before it gets deleted and fake news regarding transits has the markets fully confused regarding what the situation is. The truth is we're seeing the various actors like Bapco declare force majeure because its refinery at Ma'ameer got hit, yet prices drop for crude. Its full on vibe trading and eventually the vibe is going to turn as Trump is recognized as an unreliable source and begin its march upward again.

You aren't wholly incorrect but you also gotta remember that oil jumped to $120 also because of 100% made up bullshit, 'vibe trading' as you were. Its hardly new, its why Trump does his craziest shit on the weekend.

Given that oil was trading at ~$60 before, and the Strait of Homos sees 20% of the global supply pass through, we should have only seen things go to ~$72bbl at the most (20% of 60 is 12, so 12+60 = 72). (now this ignores things such as who is buying the oil and how bad they need it, that the sweet light arabian crude is used to thin out sour oils, etc etc, but I'm speaking in ballpark figures. Vibe Figures.)

100%. You can't have a drone war when your drone command centers are being vaporized by JDAMs. You can't run drone factories when the enemy keeps flattening them.
This war is showing that WWI-but-drones is only possible when neither side can bring down other airpower.

Was there really a blockade on Germany during the second world war? If so when, because there's no way it could have been effective until the u-boat threat was essentially dealt with, and I think that happened by around 1943. By then the German's overall position was screwed anyway.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_Germany_(1939–1945)#Second_phase

Read for yourself, you seem to have a misunderstanding of how U-boats were/could be utilized. The U-boat campaigns were focused on merchant vessels. Those campaigns forced the British to ration, but did not existentially threaten the British Atlantic fleet. Using them to try to sink the proper British Atlantic fleet, or even force it back to port long enough for trans Atlantic shipments, would have been suicidal. So yes, Germany was blockaded, it was blockaded early, and it was blockaded before the U-boats as a whole were dealt with.

Unfortunately, unlike whatever Santa Muerte voodoo they believe in Venezuela, Shia Islam is designed to make its adherents as pants-shitting retarded as possible. With how many times they've sperged out during negotiations I can't help but worry a little for our JDAM supplies.

Also just looking at Iran I have a feeling the regime could be in serious trouble if the regime falls before July then Trump could very well have a good midterms for the gop in 2026.

I hate how everyone in America is judging the war by how it may affect the next election. I know it's gay or whatever, but lives are on the line dude. Maybe its wrong and innocents suffer needlessly from the bombing campaign. Maybe it's right, and people will suffer under tyranny until it's done. Either way, the war itself seems more important to me than how it's perceived by the 2-4% of Americans who are swing voters, tbph fam.

This was a post by MES on 2Jan2025. Now imagine how little, if at all, the Basij are being paid now. They can't be paid anyway because the entire banking system is nonfunctional. The reason we aren't seeing more defection videos is because they haven't had the internet for over a week. There's nothing happening besides Iran launching fewer and fewer missiles and drones and getting them intercepted so there isn't much to post. The pistol in the picture is a Made in West Germany marked Sig Sauer P226.

"Im concerned about the cost of the war"

Biden wanted to ramp up a war with Ukraine against Russia and give our entire supply over to be scammed by the hohols. Imagine how much it costs NATO (US) troops to retake Ukraine and end up dying because they have no drone training.
This nigger is even wearing a US-Ukraine flag pin, wtf, spare me the performative outrage.

The last cost figures that were being quoted were less than the amount of Somali fraud in Minnesota. It will no doubt climb above that before the end of the conflict, but it's surprisingly inexpensive to conduct a war when tens of thousands of ground forces aren't being committed. For what the US is accomplishing (not just in terms of eradicating a terroristic Iranian regime, but also making Russia and China rethink any shit they may have thought they could pull) this is one of the most economical wars in the country's history. A friendly Iranian government that we get along with and develop good partnerships with more than pays for the cost over the long term.

Because it does matter, the moment the Iraq war became a quagmire Bush was completely nullified as a president and spent the rest of his term a lame duck. The only two operational branches of government are the executive and judicial, congress is completely lifeless and passed something on the order of 35 bills last year instead of the 100+ they normally do. The moment this war starts turning to shit we have a nonfunctional federal government. Democrats will halt all judicial appointments and stymie everything Trump does, Trump will probably lose Clarence Thomas this term as well so the Supreme Court dynamic will shift as well. There is plenty of historical precedent for changes in the federal government leaving allies out to hang, South Vietnam was a very high profile case dictated by the fallout over Watergate, almost all foreign aid dried up and the North swept in and destroyed them in short order.
