And then on the left, the US is a bunch of morons.
They don't know what they're doing.
They're completely discombobulated, and they're overplaying their hand.
What you're actually watching is two hyper-intelligent groups of people with extremely deadly weapons who understand each other's capabilities very well.
You've got the Chinese feeding the Iranians second by second information on the movements of our military equipment.
And so it's going to come down to who gets the upper hand first by destroying the visibility, that's gonna be a huge one, and then ultimately demoralizing them.
So if you're Iran, your demoralized play is actually to make one, the moral argument.
You guys don't have a moral justification for being here, so that'll be a big part of it.
Now that gets confused by the fact that they just killed roughly 30,000 of their own people.
But anyway, they're gonna make that argument, and to the left, it's gonna be very compelling.
And then economically, you're gonna try to damage our allies.
You're gonna have a very hard time damaging the US.
So we make all of our, like 95% of our own energy.
So it's like, we're gonna be the least impacted.
It'll still influence oil, but in the US, it's really not gonna be that big of a deal for us, but it does stop us potentially from exporting as much as we might otherwise have.
It certainly puts strains on us
People in the Gulf region who are used to selling their oil and now they're going to have a hard time doing that.
And obviously other allies that we have, especially in Asia, that are going to get absolutely hammered by this.
And so they're going to be not only trying to stymie us militarily and create damage, especially in Israel, which they can just go whole hog on.
but they're going to try to make sure that they spread that economic pain across the world and then say, remember, the Strait of Hormuz is not closed because of us.
