Locator: 48354WAR.
WTI: we almost have a major war break out in the Mideast; Assad falls; the Mideast map is being redrawn as we speak; the US carries out massive air strikes in Iran's backyard and the price of oil .... wait for it ... barely moves, and stays well below $70. Absolutely amazing.
Even more amazing: the US carries out a massive strike on who-knows-what in the Mideast, and most of us completely missed it, watching old movies on TCM or the NFL football game ... it will be interesting to read about it later ... what amazes me most .... again, B-52s and A-10s and F-15s.
This tells me the military is in charge and President Biden is simply nodding his approval. Had it just been F-15s, that would have been one thing, but A-10s? But when you really want to take out targets, you call in the B-52s. Besides taking care of business, this sends a huge message to every adversary in the Mideast. The US military is in charge.
My hunch, Kamala Harris wasn't even in the "Situation Room" when the military was giving Biden the standard three options with the military presenting its preferred option. I'm probably wrong, but if she was there, she was simply a spectator, nodding along with President Biden.
75+ airstrikes on Isis targets inside Syria. That would have included a huge infrastructure organized, owned, and operated by Iran.
That B-52 -- absolutely amazing. Apparently no civilian casualties.
Meanwhile, Israel continues to beef up its resources in the Golan Heights. The Mideast map is being re-drawn. I suppose one thing Iran learned in the last 72 hours: Russia is not likely to be much help if Iran asks for help.
Best way to "maybe" follow the Syrian story is searching "air strikes" on "X" and on Bluesky. Interestingly enough, the two social media sites ("X" and Bluesky) complement each other; neither site is necessarily "better" than the other in this situation. The one thing being presented by both "X" and Bluesky that is not being reported by mainstream legacy media (yet) is the degree to which the IDF (Israelis) seem to be "taking advantage" of the situation.
See disclaimer. Idle rambling. Everything needs to be fact-checked.
