I suspect Trump TACOs at some point as pressure mounts. I don't see Iran giving in, and the U.S. has rebuffed any discussion of talks or settlements...so as pressure mounts from the Middle East allies first, then European allies and domestic pressure...he will have to give in at some point and settle. Cheers! https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-calls-countries-send-warships-184217276.html

Again, you and ourkid8 have very skewed views. Like I said, all Iran has to do to fuck up the U.S. is blow up their own oil facilities...like Kharg Island. Why do you think the U.S. only hit military installations there? If the theocracy thinks God is on their side, and they are more than willing to give their lives, let alone their livelihood, they will burn their own bridges to an end to a means...even if they lose at the end of the day! That's what happens when fuckheads bring God on to their side...whether it's Iran or the U.S.! Cheers!

Hmmm, they are probably more aligned then they've ever been. They are barely speaking out...happy to have U.S. defense systems protect them...have made some contributions...and while they do not want bloodshed, they know a peaceful Middle East is better for everyone long-term. Cheers!

I agree. Very rarely has the Middle East avoided sides and not entered into the fray. Primarily because Iran's proxies have already been taken out by Dubya and Obama...even though Reds and Cubs won't admit that. Trump took out the rest and has been able to keep Russia/China/North Korea out of the game for the most part. Cheers!

Yup! This doesn't simply end quickly...repercussions will come for years. Cheers!

You guys are all picking and choosing stuff that supports your narrative. You have been to Iran, so you think you know better. Cubs is a Trump supporter, so he thinks he knows better. Neither looks at the middle ground or what is actually happening! Cheers!

Cubs wouldn't get upset over Cubs jokes...you cannot support that team for that long without having some sense of humor! Bartman!!! John will have to look that up to understand the reference. Cheers!

I own a condo...the strata won't let you do it! Cheers!

I agree that Iran is in deep trouble...although not without making life miserable for the U.S. and the rest of the world. All they have to do is destroy their own oil facilities and you will have a major global recession. Also, Bibi can thank Trump...Bibi's existence is now saved and he probably comes out of this a hero if Iran gives in. Although, I don't see this Iranian regime giving in...settle yes...giving in? No! They will set Iran on fire before they give in! Cheers!

Perfect! Now tell him how many rings the Yankees have and how many the Cubs have...he'll punch you in the face! Cheers!

Haha! John, I thought that was ice cream...it's nicotine pouches. Bad boy! Cheers!

Very nice John! Lucky guy! New Zealand ice creams are also terrific...high fat content. Cheers!

I was trying to give it a chance. Xerxes, do you leave your kid's baseball game in the 3rd inning if they are losing badly? Cheers!

You are missing a Yankees hat on the guy and a Cubs hat on the statue! Cheers!

I feel emasculated! Cheers!

This is not accurate...it's like someone putting up a Youtube video eating Big Macs for a month and not dying of a heart attack. The same thing happens in India and Muslim countries. Most people recognize foreigners and it isn't enforced and they aren't attacked for their dress. But if you live in villages, communities, even major cities, the cat-calling, assaults, etc are real in many places. Tehran is also a fairly cosmopolitan city like Mumbai, Dubai, etc...the restrictive nature of the theocracy isn't as self-evident there...it's enforced through religious indoctrination, elections, suppression of protests, restriction of media, etc. Cheers!

+1! Yup. Cheers!

I never said they were barbaric. The people of virtually every country in the world are no different than our own countries...they have the same desires, wishes for their family and children, etc. That being said, the government just killed 7,000 people during the most recent protests...that number is closer to 30,000 from other sources inside Iran...I'm guessing you weren't in Iran then? That might not be barbaric in your view, but it certainly is suppression, murder, without due process...whatever you want to call it. We had three people die by ICE's hand and it was a national calamity, but 7,000 killed is civilized society? You and Cubs are on the opposite ends of the spectrum...neither one taking reality into actual account! Each pushing a higher moral superiority than the other. There are few things in this world that are black and white...and this is probably one of them. Cheers!

I agree with you that the regime is getting what it deserved. I just don't everyone to be loose and fast with the repercussions falling on the people actually most vulnerable...the citizens in Iran who abhor everything about their government, but have neither the means, nor legal avenues, to change it without having their lives put at great risk. It is something they will have to eventually decide...but there will be enormous cost whichever way it goes...and probably another lost generation for them. Cheers!

LOL! And I thought Noem was a moron. It seems like Trump hired Gary Busey to run DOD! Cheers!

LOL! Exactly how I felt. I'm a Western junkie as well, and this thing is not a Western. Not sure what the heck it is. Luke Grimes looks like he's walking through the show...picking up a paycheck. The other actors are just awful. Sheridan is one of the producers, but doesn't look like he actually wrote or directed any of it. The main writer is the guy who wrote for SEAL Teams...which is surprising, because it was pretty well written for a television show. But the writing in Marshals is God-awful! Cheers!

If you were a Yellowstone fan, don't waste a single second watching the first two episodes of Marshals! Terrible! Watered down, awful writing, incredibly weak action, and zero bite. You wouldn't even know it had anything to do with Taylor Sheridan! Yellowstone worked because of a terrific ensemble cast and wonderful writing by Sheridan...doesn't exist here! Cheers

There are a lot of men and women who were born and raised there, that do not support the current government or regime, have no access to fair/equal elections and have neither the means, nor the ability, to change their destiny without outside intervention. And their children are born into this world under the same conditions. Many of them are at risk of injury or death from what is happening, so let's not be so glib on "what they deserve"! They aren't beneficiaries of a Golden Dome from U.S. tech...they are a repressed population that lives under the thumb of a theocracy that should no longer exist in this world. In the worst case scenario, many will die as civilian casualties...not only from Israel and U.S. bombings, but even more probably from attacks/suppression from their own government as they eventually fight to achieve change. They are in the worst possible position out of every one involved in this war! Cheers!

The thing is, if you have some sort of economic event, the stock could move down to Horne's price target (which should also be noted has moved up 10-12 times since his original target of like $730 CDN in Q1 2023 over 3 years ago). So that would be a qualified, but undeserved, win for Horne. Whereas if you based the results on actual analytical work and made investments on that work, Viking would not only be right over the same 3 years, but the stock price would be at Horne's current target and the investor still made a shitload of money! I think Horne should just find another line of work he is more qualified for...maybe a Starbucks barista! That being said, I'm particularly fond of my properly made Brown Sugar Oat Cortado and Horne is often wrong on things. If he messed up my Cortado, I would have to mess him up! Cheers!

She wants Bondi's job and she may get it as Bondi is almost as big a mess as puppy killer Noem! Cheers!
