US Perspective on the Iran - Israel / US War

Don’t be surprised to see 3-4% growth in the years ahead. 2-2.5% growth is also not modest for a $32T economy. The US has nearly caught China in terms of real dollars added to the economy , and that’s with 3X Chinas PPP per capita.

Of course SI / AI is going to revolutionize the world. Only a fool would believe otherwise.

Almost laughable you referring to PPP yet in other threads you poo-poo it.

Now, everyone, myself included, let's try and get back on topic. Further discussions around AI / SI should be directed in the US Economy thread.

I said PPP per capita was relevant, not PPP at national scale. Back to the topic
 

Top Admiral Briefs Trump On Iran Attack Options​


The top U.S. commander in the Middle East briefed President Trump Thursday on military options for Iran, a rare in-person visit to the White House as the U.S. weighs resuming major combat operations, according to U.S. officials and other people with direct knowledge of the meeting.

Joining Adm. Brad Cooper was Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine. The meeting included other cabinet members and covered other topics, some of the people said.

The top-level gathering followed a Wednesday session at the White House in which the military officers met with Vice President JD Vance, one of the people said.

Trump officials have told Arab Gulf states to be prepared for a short, intense campaign after the midterm elections, the Journal has reported. Vance has also engaged one of Iran’s most powerful hard-liners in an effort to revive peace negotiators, WSJ reported.

“We may do another little Epic Fury,” Trump said at a rally last week, referring to the heavy U.S. and Israeli bombing campaign in the spring. “Or they’ll agree.”

Cooper rarely briefs Trump in person, so the meeting could signal that the U.S. is moving closer to significant military operations. He met with the president in July, when the two huddled with Hegseth and Caine on Air Force One after a dignified transfer at Dover Air Force Base. A Pentagon spokesperson and a Centcom spokesperson declined to comment.

 
Going to post this article from today on TWZ. It corroborates what I've been saying in conversations with others.

Let's Talk About The U.S. Target Drone Iran Claims To Have Recovered Intact

The target drone could be of particular use in stimulating Iran's air defenses to help collect intelligence on them, among other possible tasks.

And as I said in those conversations, appearances can be very deceiving.
 


The US has been hitting Iranian missile launchers for the last couple weeks. I imagine it’s not been made public due to midterms next week. Another hit in the last hour

FWIW, I'm not the only one who has watched flights from China approach the Iranian border and suddenly the transponders go dark. What I worry about is how many flew in with transponders off all the way.

The logistics industry is looking at a down peak season. Forecasts are not good.

Can't prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt of course, but when a transport suddenly goes dark, and then pops back up later on the other side of the country, you have to wonder.

But, let's be honest. China isn't the only one doing this.
