This is near economic suicide for the United States, if this report proves true, and and we attack Iran again.
Three days, seven days of attacks?
And no one’s even asking the critical question, the most important question of all: AND THEN WHAT???
What happens after you unload the remainder of your long range strike missiles, burn through the rest of your PAC3 interceptors, and then what? What if Iran doesn’t surrender? What if the SOH remains closed? What then, Mr President?
All you will have done by renewing the war is guarantee a horizontal expansion of the war, an escalation, and a deepening of the cost – and *still no way out.*
Restarting the war with no plausible path to success and no path to exit would be a malpractice of the highest order, and should definitely result in an impeachment and removal from office.
🇺🇸🇮🇷 TRUMP’S IRAN AIR WAR COULD BEGIN AS EARLY AS SUNDAY OR MONDAY
Axios reports Washington and Israel are preparing for a bombing campaign lasting up to seven days against Iranian leadership, nuclear facilities, energy sites and other infrastructure.
Ten U.S. cargo planes from Fort Bliss have reportedly landed at Israeli air bases, American tankers are already positioned in Israel, and a carrier group with roughly 9,000 personnel is only days away.
Gulf states have reportedly been told to prepare for a short, intense campaign.
The plan resembles Instant Thunder at Trump speed, compressing the five-ring targeting logic associated with the 1991 Gulf War into days.
Iran has spent 35 years studying how the U.S. fights these wars, and it has already rehearsed possible retaliation against Kuwait’s water infrastructure, Saudi oil facilities and Riyadh’s airport.
A seven-day air war could therefore produce economic consequences lasting for months.
Even if the U.S. and Israel want a quick war, Iran has every incentive to escalate horizontally and prolong the conflict to impose maximum economic and political costs on American voters.
That means higher risks for oil prices, gas bills, mortgage rates, retirement accounts and financial markets well into the spring.
We could even be heading toward a global recession.
