U.S. joins war against Iran; bombs multiple locations. Trump claimed Thursday he would take two weeks to make up his mind. Eric Francis Coppolino, 6/21/25.

Trump just stepped on a hornets' nest. Too bad that the rest of us will get stung when no one here can afford gas any more.

Happened back in 2008. The price of gas went WAY up, over $100/barrel, caused massive demand destruction, and the result was the 2008-9 Depression (EFF "the Great "Recession")

Yeah, but... Trump still didn't consider all the angles. And he still made a big mistake that will cost American lives for the sake of bankers, weapons manufacturers and Endless War. Sigh.

What makes you think he didn't consider all the angles? He just decided via certain priorities. And it's WAY more than about "bankers, weapons manufacturers and Endless War. Sigh." It's about global domination. In the world market, based upon dog-eat-dog, a player is either the dominator or the submissive. Don't like it? Target the PROBLEM, which is NOT America, but global capitalism.

Prof. Marandi recently outlined a WHOLE BUNCH of reasons why America should not be foolish enough to attack Iran. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W03spvkI0rY

Prof Marandi is an Iranian government asset. There are much better analyses from people who aren't associated with that regime, or the US regime.
