The trap is this: the US cannot force Iran to do anything without risking a major retaliation. That could mean much higher oil prices...for a long time.
Of course, this outcome assumes that no land invasion occurs. That Irans neighbors will just lick their wounds and put up with Iran being granted regional sovereignty. That Trump, as a man of his word, refrains from launching his own ground invasion. Frankly, it assumes that Trump will simply accept responsibility for a defeat. I have to say Bill, I think that assumes too much. We’ll see…
we have a lot of friends in the region helping us NOW. And the IRGC is spewing a lot of fake news....and we also know where they are and what they have left and how to deal with that. Iam anxious to get on with it and END THAT REGIME FOREVER. UTTERLY DESTROY THEM. NO PRISONERS OR SURVIVORS.
The war will end in 4 days…two weeks…we have brought Iran to its knees…etc, etc. Would love to know what our brilliant genius 4D chess player will do next. At least some traders have made a ton of money on inside info…
Well Bill you being an excellent critical thinker, as are the vast majority of your readers, I am not too sure that what you read by highly aclamed pundits, who are in the "know", are not so ideologically driven that they cannot see the forest for the trees.
Egad, please be assured that the people Bill quoted HATE Trump, and want him to fail. It's hard to know who to believe amid the online mayhem, but it's not them.
Yes Bill, as we withdraw our navy in retreat we should also apologize to the Iranians, pay them whatever reparations they demand, and sign a document of unconditional surrender giving them full authority to privatize the Strait.
Bill, I’m surprised as an entrepreneur that you are taking such a defeatist road. A strong leader does not let populism guide his actions. I think Trump has a vision that is held by the silent majority. We will see how this plays out. It may be an extension of the empire, but the alternative is absolute destruction, the immediate destruction of the empire.
Amen. So we are DOING WHAT MUST BE DONE FOR THE FRIGGIN FREE WORLD and TRUMP TELLING XI TODAY FOR HIM TOO. chINA will get OIL DEAL FROM VENEZUELA TO REPLACE IRAN OIL. OTHERS STEP UP. WE WILL PRODucE REcORD OIL. OIL PRICES WILL PLUMMET. BUT WE MUST END THE REGIME IN TEHRAN. FOREVER AND EVER AMEN
You can say and claim whatever you choose to, Bill, but it doesn't mean its true. Oh yea! That's right - you want the US to have "hands off". And what then? Let Iraq simply build nukes up the ying-yang? To be in the position to blow up everyone desired by the "in-charge" this week? Or the next week? While I know it's costly, do you not have a clue what the cost would be once Iraq has it's unlimited nukes?? Hello - wake up and smell the smoke.
Well here we go again. Geez. I hate to have to post here as it brings out the libertarian elitist clueless feckless anti american crazies and the openly hostile liberals. A few RINOS. But sometimes I must do so instead of just emailing Bill privately. so here we go.
BILL has an AGENDA. DUH. ITS VERY VERY ANTITRUMP. HE IS NOT OBJECTIVE AND A POLITICAL AS HE CLAIMS. BOGUS. FAKE NEWS. Bill also is ANTI WAR ANTI MILITARY and VERY LIBERTARIAN ELITIST ACADEMIC AND JUST A SOLO VOCE IN THE WILDERNESS.....relatively harmless but annoying. So know that.
Second, he DOES have some interesting connections and some LEAKERS maybe (that leaked the email from Chief of Staff Wiles telling people to stop leaking or else....) and so he gets news sources but then he leaves out CRITICAL facts and COMPLETE analysis and picks and chooses his own low lying fruit and is a lot like MSNBC and CNN and the View.
So on this today I ask Bill....some of your NEWS is correct and simplifying what happened in UKRAINE (its not THE UKRAINE...that is a SOVIET TERM MORON) since 1991 is not helpful though you are somewhat space and time constrained....
Nuland is who she is. BUT OBAMA is responsible for ALL OF THAT. GET THAT STRAIGHT. And Zelenskyy was DULY ELECTED AFTER THE VELVET REVOLUTION and after the FIRST PRESIDENT didnt do well post Revolution..... CIA didnt install Zelenskyy. What happened in those BOGUS HEARINGS ON CAPITOL HILL WAS DISGUSTING. MANY OF THOSE WHO TESTIFIED IN MY OPINION BELONG IN PRISON. ALL LIARS TRYING TO ENTRAP AND BLAME TRUMP WHEN IT WAS BIDEN AND OBAMA TO BLAME FOR ALL OF IT. Corruption in Casablanca? YEP. Corruption in Kiev? YUP. CORRUPTION IN LOS ANGELES, SAN FRANCISCO, MENLO PARK, CHICAGO, SEATTLE, PORTLAND, DALLAS, HOUSTON, DENVER, NEW ORLEANS, NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, BOSTON, CLEVELAND CHARLOTTE MIAMI AND ATLANTA? YOU BET. AND THE KING OF CORRUPTION IS NONE OTHER THAN WASHDC WHERE LOBBYING AKA LEGALizED EXTORTION TAKES PLACE DAILY AND MOST LOBBYISTS ARE EX CONGRESSMEN. SO BE CAREFUL BEFORE YOU POINT FINGERS AT VOLODOMIR ZELENSKYY....A HERO IN MY VIEW. LIKE CHURCHILL (who had his own Demons btw).
On Iran....we are armed to the teeth and have 1/3 of OUR ENTIRE NAVY THERE READY TO POUNCE and will unleash such force as to make SHOCK AND AWE look like Kindergarten sandbox. And We can do it and either destroy their infrastructure or not. THEIR CHOICE. BUT WHAT IRAN CAN DO TO US? NOT MUCH. NO MILITARY. WE KNOW WHAT MISSILES THEY HAVE AND WHERE THEY ARE. TRUMP TELLING XI IN BEIJING TODAY BACK OFF BOOOGALOO..>THIS IS SERIOUS CRAP AND WE WILL FINISH THE JOB AND SORRY....YOU BOUGHT THEIR OIL AT DISCOUNT AND NOW ARE JAMMED UP. I TRUST JACK KEANE. BIG TIME. FINISH THE JOB DONALD. STOP NEGOTIATING WITH PAKISTAN WHO BACKSTABBBED US AND LET TEHRAN PARK SOME MILITARY JETS THERE. Bastards.
I am 100% behind TRUMP on Iran and so is JACK KEANE but he must FINISH THE JOB. HE WILL. MAYBE WHILE FLYIING HOME ON FRIDAY BUT SURELY THIS WEEKEND. STAY TUNED.
I dont agree with Bill at all or his friends at WOKIST PUBLISHERS AND THINK TANKS FOR ELITISTS AND LIBERALS. SORRY BILL. THEY ARE DEAD WRONG.
Fleitz agrees btw. Another good egg. NO I DONT ALWAYS WATCH FOXNEWS. in FACT I long ago cut off Hannity then Laura and Now Watters...I do WATCH BRETT BAER AND SOMETIMES BRIAN IN MORNINGS AND LEVIN ON WEEKENDS. OTHERWISE ITS CNBC FOR STOCK AND BONDMARKETS AND NewsMax. and I do my OWN research online too. DONT ASK.
GOT IT? Good. Now I wait on the crazies to RESPOND and for Tom DYSON, whom I like and ADMIRE to post his weekly message tonight.
GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK. GOD BLESS AMERICA. Btw, SAUDIS AND UAE ARE BOMBING IRAN TOO. French sent in Charles De Gaulle carrier. ITS A BIG DEAL. WE WILL END THE REIGN OF TERROR FOR GOOD. TRUST ME.
Such HOGWASH! When will reality come to those that have drank the koolaid? Probably never and who gets the blame when the delusion has come to be wrong by all accounts (almost there today). Surely here in the Comments, Ol' Bill will be blamed. Reality does not wait for the senseless to come to their sense.
Not the Persians, but the Shia Twelvers who have been slaughtering tens of thousands of Persians to maintain their grip on power and accelerate the return of the 12th Imam by whatever means possible. But yes, they appear to be well on their way to becoming an Islamic version of North Korea. Perhaps the mass suicide of empires is well underway,

...the U.A.E. has attacked Iran.
Muslim siding with the U.S. fighting "fellow" Muslims.
Not sure how anyone can conclude U.S. is losing...
The war will end in 4 days…two weeks…we have brought Iran to its knees…etc, etc. Would love to know what our brilliant genius 4D chess player will do next. At least some traders have made a ton of money on inside info…
Sorry Bill, but reporting the truth about the Iran war is now illegal. Please report to your nearest police station.
With this piece of opinionated garbage Bill need not worry about reporting any truths...
Truth is a hard commodity to operatioalize.
Well Bill you being an excellent critical thinker, as are the vast majority of your readers, I am not too sure that what you read by highly aclamed pundits, who are in the "know", are not so ideologically driven that they cannot see the forest for the trees.

Yes Bill, as we withdraw our navy in retreat we should also apologize to the Iranians, pay them whatever reparations they demand, and sign a document of unconditional surrender giving them full authority to privatize the Strait.
We should also hand them several nukes (with ICBM;s) and adopt Islam as our national religion...
Burkas with the American Flag print... on sale!

Sez the man who doesn't recognize the difference between Iran and Iraq.
Can I plead guilty? Thanks.
I took it as a simple typo. no harm no foul
I am done with BBonner posts. He is now quoting the major propaganda media as sources.
Such negativity Mr. Bonner...
I have a complete set of pieces representing the U.S.
Mr. Bonner's side of the board sports a rook and a couple of pawns representing Iran.
Let's play!
