“It is becoming increasingly hard to avoid the conclusion that the Trump administration has embarked on this operation without a plan, and is making it up as it goes along, as if they killed enough of the right people and destroyed enough Iranian assets everything would fall into place.”

Shutting an oil well isn’t like turning off a faucet.

It’s a huge engineering risk, difficult to reverse — and an indicator the Kuwaitis don’t see choke points improving anytime soon.

@reaDonald Trump
Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said,
"Thank you President Trump." I have said,
"You're welcome!" Iran is no longer the "Bully of the Middle East," they are, instead, "THE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST," and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran's bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J.

Unconditional surrender has a very specific meaning. Do you suppose anyone in the White House realizes that?

GS: Our estimate of the underlying pace of job growth now stands at 37k, below our 60-70k estimate of the breakeven pace needed to keep the unemployment rate stable.

We estimate real retail sales declined at a 0.9% three-month annualized rate through January.

They think, or at least pretend to think, that this doesn’t sound like obvious cope to everyone in the world

It’s an entire White House comms shop built on the premise of “my hot girlfriend lives in Canada” being believed by normal people
