Difference between an educated politician and an illiterate fraud.

The real suprise might come from the East

Do they have to cross the strait though?

I think Kharg and Qeshm are reasonable targets for the Americans. And as you said, the UAE will probably go for the 3 islands simultaneously.

How else would they reach the islands? They can go through Saudi but can't take their landing craft with them.

It hit something but does not seem like it hit the aircraft...

If its an IR missile it could have been a visually suppressed flare that helps reduce nighttime visibility or if it was RF then the ALE-55 could have been hit.

West always views such gestures as signs of weakness since they don't intend to negotiate in good faith.

No. Good diplomacy. Iran is allowing all tankers (they submitted the letter to the UN) except of combatant countries (as per UN law).

The last ballistic missile launch from Iran to Israel was 6 hours ago.

Something is brewing, potentially a different strike package is being assembled in anticipation of the weekend invasion.

What "weekend invasion"?

Keep in mind I think the statistic is something where 51% of US troops are white. The rest are black, Hispanic, Asian, and other minorities.

Thus the stomach for casualties by the U.S. is likely much higher since the deaths will likely be the poor and minority class of America.

Black troops represented at little over 16% of the ranks at the time. Deaths of black troops were a hair over 12%.

From Statista:



To take it a step further. deaths among enlistees was higher than it was for conscripts.

I'm convinced it is UAE

Exactly, 85% white KIA then vs today’s ~50% white KIA if the land invasion happens. I think that makes a difference on society, regardless of how morbid it sounds.

What a strange storm at a strange time

Which they are getting anyway due to this but what is the technical barrier - I can see it as a throughput issue with KSA able to cater to its own infrastructure technically but to really have it as a multinational projects would need guarantees.

Would we simply not facilitate this if it turns out (as it looks to be) we replaced Khameni with Khameni and call it a day?

there isn't any spare capacity and the Saudi pipeline is designed for a specific API gravity of Saudi light crude and crude with a higher or lower API gravity from other fields will not flow. Of course, transporting the crude by road to a Red Sea terminal is possible but you can't achieve enough throughput for it to be practical. Also the Saudi pipeline is a point-to-point system and cannot be side loaded with crude from another field.
