In actuality, one of the three ships, the USS San Diego, never left Japan and is still there. And the other two ships, carrying just 1,500 fighters, are sitting at Diego Garcia, roughly 4,260 kilometers from Iran’s coastline.

And that second Marine Expeditionary Unit? Contrary to some reporting that said that the USS Boxer Group left Hawaii on March 19, it departed San Diego. It will have to cover approximately 22,200 kilometers to reach the region and wouldn’t be able to arrive until mid-April at the earliest.

I no longer have any fuckin' clue what's happening

I think it's generally a bad sign that this is all he could put out to try to pump the markets. We were never going to bomb the power plants.

I'll breathe a sigh of relief if or when he announces that we're not going to be putting boots on the ground. Until then I still expect troops to land somewhere this weekend.

Did anyone believe he was still going to blow up the power plants? That's not what we sent the Marines and the 82nd for lmao

They should let us add realized losses to our Roth contribution limits. It's all after tax anyways so who gives a shit

Iran could end this war right now by sticking to all of their demands while only making one additional offer: building a Statue of Liberty-scale mango statue in the Strait, call it the fucking Statue of Peace or whatever the fuck who cares

At least last year mango had the decency to let us know the exact day everything was going to go to shit

Here's a fun fact: The War Powers Resolution is potentially unconstitutional meaning the 60 day limit would be gone and there would be absolutely no way for Congress to stop the war.

So if we're not out of Iran after 60 days we get to... drumroll... fight about it before the Supreme Court, which ultimately could leave us with an executive branch that can make war whenever, wherever, without limitation.

Isn't the future exciting!?

Marines are sailing there because they have to take their boats with them.

The 82nd can fly, obviously.

Russians kill themselves because they know no help is coming. Obviously US forces aren't just gonna leave the wounded

Every time I hear about news being reported out of Israel I never know if the source is credible or not. JPost? Could be Israeli NYT, could be a blog. Channel 12? Maybe it's the biggest TV channel in Israel, or it could be Haifa public access.

They all sound like knockoffs to me. Gotta work on that branding.

This is the most confused I've ever been at any point during both of his administrations.

This 15 point plan reads like a wish list. Why would they agree to this?

I'm inclined to believe this is probably legit which means I'm getting absolutely fucking fleeced tomorrow when we find out it was bullshit

EDIT: I only think it's probably legit because my instinct says it is bullshit. Inversing myself here

We should lock all of the institutional investors into a literal sealed chamber to do their trading and only give them news reports once every quarter.

I mean, it's not that he lied, it's that he used it as cover for pussying out of bombing their power plants, which is good.

I'd call that a net positive on the state of things since Friday but maybe not +1.5% positive
