On the second front lets just say the sense of urgency I heard in those high end consultants and advisors really spooked me out. It was as if they were certain something is coming this year or at most, early next year. Like I said, I've been doing what I do for 30 years and have attended hundreds of these forums and never have I seen a panel of experts so concerned.

and mind you, they were saying all of this BEFORE the current hostilities erupted -- it's as if they knew.

I also have professional connections in Dubai and from what they are telling me things are just getting warmed up. they told me that the U.S had better pack a lunch because we're going to be there for awhile as Iran is a very determined and quite suicidal adversary  and despite whatever the media and our administration is reporting the straight of hormuz is indeed closed. Whether officially or not is inconsequential. never mind  the propaganda the Trump admin is feeding us. If Ships are not passing through because their operators or the insurance underwriters are afraid of significant loss then for all intents and purposes the strait is closed

I love trump but if you ask me which do I believe ? THe word of friends I've known for 20 plus years that can get in their cars and drive to the strait at will or Pete Hegseth word on the situation on the ground -  I'm going with the former.

Plus, rising gas prices are telling the whole story. If we were really decimating Iran to the extent we say we are prices wouldn't be rising so sharply and holding for so long.
