    2.6 Billion Burned — The U.S. Just Abandoned the Gulf

    Nobody likes to fight, not even those MMA cage fighters (who have motives far deeper and more tragic than the love of contest), but everyone will fight when it comes down to defending their own life or of those they love.

    So how do you go about making people fight when they don’t want to? Simple. Just make them believe that they are fighting in a last stand self defense from someone who’s trying to kill them and their families.

    A mouse would fight a lion and a lion would fight the world.

    Sell weapons to both sides who are only trying to “defend themselves” and right there is a dependable business model for anyone who has absolutely no morals, scruples or empathy of any kind whatsoever, at all. Which is sort of what we’ve got going on all over the place, if you look around closely enough.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but it sure does look to me like the United States of Zion just got its ass kicked out of the Middle East, and without Uncle Brute Force backing them up I just can’t see Israel lasting very long literally surrounded by righteous indignation.

    Look at the situation in the Middle East from high orbit. There is a zone being fought over, with missiles and bombs flying between primary adversaries. That fact alone is strong evidence that neither side can have and demonstrate full and uncontested ownership of that zone. No Man’s Land until the shooting stops and a clear winner emerges and suppresses any further serious opposition from any of the other primary contestants.

    Which will it be? PAX Americano ? PAX Zionista? PAX BRICSania?

    I think that this round, and the match, go to BRICSania, and that the Zionistas better start looking for another hole to hide in.

    Meanwhile there is this recurrent situation in which some budding young tyranny gets given the notion that it should take over the entire world, by force if necessary. I’m getting tired of the re-runs. Let’s find and retire those guys who keep running the whole bloody mess like it was a for-profit business.

    ‘Secretary Rubio’s remarks indicate that Israel put U.S. forces in harm’s way by insisting on attacking Iran,’ Congressman Joaquin Castro reacted on X. ‘And the administration was complicit—joining their war instead of talking them down.’
    Conservative pundit Matt Walsh wrote: ‘So he’s flat out telling us that we’re in a war with Iran because Israel forced our hand. This is basically the worst possible thing he could have said.’

    In modern warfare the military base is the weapon. Without the high-tech controls that are operated from inside the base the jets, missiles and satellites are just extremely expensive junk that’s not really of much value for any other purpose. It’s just pure waste, and as worthless as a bullet with no way to aim the gun or pull the trigger.

    Once the base gets blown up all of the military personnel and soldiers are immediately transformed from mighty warriors into annoying, uninvited tourists without permission to even be in the country.

    Soldiers without weapons are not soldiers.

    Hezbollah drones strike Israeli Ramat David airbase

    The Islamic Resistance says it launched drones at the Ramat David airbase in response to Israeli attacks on Lebanon.

    The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah announced at dawn Tuesday that it launched a drone attack targeting Israeli military positions, stressing that the operation came as a response to the ongoing Israeli aggression against Lebanon.

    In a statement issued on March 3, 2026, Hezbollah said the operation came “in response to the criminal Israeli aggression that targeted dozens of Lebanese cities and towns, including Beirut’s southern suburb,” which it said resulted in the killing of dozens of men, women, and children, as well as widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure and displacement of residents.

    According to the statement, at 5:00 a.m. local time, the Islamic Resistance deployed a swarm of attack drones targeting radar sites and control rooms at the Ramat David airbase in northern occupied Palestine.

    The Resistance said its operation was directed at military targets, contrasting it with Israeli attacks on civilians. It added that the strike was part of its duty to defend Lebanon’s land and people, particularly in light of the ongoing Israeli escalation and violations.

    Aggression cannot go unanswered
    Hezbollah affirmed earlier that the continued Israeli aggression against the country over the past fifteen months cannot persist without response, stressing that confrontation remains a legitimate and defensive right in the face of ongoing violations.

    In a statement addressing the latest developments, the Resistance said the Israeli assault on Lebanon has continued “through killing, destruction, bulldozing, and every form of criminality,” despite repeated political and diplomatic efforts aimed at halting the aggression and compelling the occupation to adhere to the ceasefire agreement and its obligations.

    The statement, released early on Tuesday, underscored that all attempts to curb the aggression through diplomatic channels have failed, warning that “aggression cannot continue without response”, and that assassinations and destruction “cannot go on unchecked”.

    “The graves of the little girls killed in the missile attak on their school in Iran.”

    Remember when Hamas fumbled one its missiles and dropped it on a hospital, then claimed it was a heinous Israeli war crime? Probably just a coincidence.

    Trumptard just announced he is sending USSA naval vessels to escort oil tankers through the Straits of Hormuz

    Hahahahahaaha!

    My coffee just went out my nose!

    “Like shooting fish in a barrel” comes to mind.

    The Iranians can not just sink a ship easily with surface to ship missiles, they can mine the straits and with submarines! Hurrah!

    They can also sink a lot of ships in the narrowest part of the Strait as an artificial “Death Reef©”</

    USNI News says the only US Navy ships currently in the Persian Gulf (as of yesterday, Monday) are three relatively small near-shore ships based at Bahrain and being used for anti-mine operations.

    In the Persian Gulf

    Littoral Combat Ships USS Canberra (LCS-30), USS Tulsa (LCS-16) and USS Santa Barbara (LCS-32) are based in Bahrain with the Navy’s first operational mine countermeasure mission packages in U.S. 5th Fleet.

    https://news.usni.org/2026/03/02/usni-news-fleet-and-marine-tracker-march-2-2026

    Wikipedia sez “A littoral combat ship (LCS) is a relatively small surface vessel designed for littoral warfare in near-shore operations…Littoral combat ships are comparable to corvettes found in other navies.”

    This will be available to all Shipping Lines. If necessary, the United States Navy will begin escorting tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, as soon as possible.

    Oil Jumps Again as US Escort Plan for Hormuz Fails to Bring Calm
    By Bloomberg News

    Oil extended gains as fresh attacks flared in the Middle East and traders weighed a US plan to insure and escort tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz, with traffic in the vital waterway all but halted.

    Brent rose above $82 a barrel after rallying about 12% over two days, the biggest gain since 2020, while West Texas Intermediate was near $75. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the US International Development Finance Corporation would offer insurance to vessels to help ensure the flow of energy and other trade, providing a naval escort “if necessary.”
