I’m sure that is true. And yet, the oil is not flowing. We keep “winning” like this for a few more weeks/months and we lose. Not because we sudenly stop “blowing targets the fuck up”, but because we cripple our economies.
- jonnybgood 6mo agoThe flowing of oil is not of primary importance to the US in this conflict. The oil was already flowing. So I think we can reasonably rule that out as an objective.
- krisoft 6mo ago> The flowing of oil is not of primary importance to the US in this conflict. You think so? Then why did the US make it the condition of cease fire? Why did the US even agree to a cease fire? It is not like Iran is hurting the US mainland kinetically. > The oil was already flowing. So I think we can reasonably rule that out as an objective. Sometimes you have a thing and you don’t appreciate how important it is for you until you don’t have it anymore.
- neoromantique 6mo agoBecause having air frames constantly cycling in the air for six weeks straight is hard on both soldiers and air frames, so having a breather for maintenance and recovery is crucial. And Oil is not crucial for the US at all, it is hitting Europe and poor countries the most by far. (I'm from Europe)

The comment was alluding to impotent tactical prowess, which is... silly, to say the least. > Not because we sudenly stop “blowing targets the fuck up”, but because we cripple our economies. This whole thing is extremely stupid, yes.
