The reality is that it doesn't matter whether you trust it or not, it's going to play out whatever way that it will, and there's jack shit you can do to change that.
This is why I pay attention to my little world, and this is the only thing that I take seriously.
My world, my friends and my family.
Nothing else affects me
Sounds like the USA Eisenhower is getting ready to deploy, likely to go replace the USS Ford so it can rotate home. It will be interesting to see if they keep 4 strike groups in the region or use this as an opportunity to have more capabilities in the region for strikes.
You better believe palantir has run many simulations and predictions with variables to give some ideas on likely outcomes but there are always outliers and randomness.

Sure, but what can *you* do about any of it ?
Besides prepare for a general shit storm, which you should be doing anyway, because no matter who is running things at the moment, it's always a house of cards.
Pardon Maxwell, say the files don’t exist, backstab his supporters, start another war in the Middle East, give Israel billions upon billions more, kill the save act.
Granted, this is part of Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).
Passed into law, mostly by the Left and signed by Biden.
Votes of course, are not there to rescind this new(er) rule.
I care....until I don't.
I really only care about things I can influence. Things outside my control are just that, I can't change them.
I care about these events only so much as trying to predict and forecast how it might impact myself, family etc.
So I continue to try to do the right things but also not put my head in the sand and ignore reality. If I can get a heads up and use some wisdom and brain power to be ahead of the unwashed masses of zombies then I'm going to do that so I can try to avoid ending up like them.
13 republicans voted in favor.
Things change real quick when people are in mass if you go back in our History. Voting rights, Slavery etc...

Jack Keane argues that recent Iranian offers to open the Strait of Hormuz (without discussing the nuclear deal) are not genuine progress and he states the Iranian regime is focused on stalling for survival rather than reasonable negotiation thinking they can just wait for the American left politicians and media to force Trump to give up.
Keane advocates for resuming full military operations to finish the job (he estimates is 75% complete) and noted the U.S. currently has double the combat power in the region compared to when operations began, also suggesting the U.S. has the necessary power to open the straits independently.
Keane focuses on the significant support between the Iranian regime, Russia, and China. He mentions that the Iranian-designed Shahed drones are now being manufactured and used by Russia against Ukraine illustrates evidence of a deep, dangerous collaboration.

Things can turn on a dime, but *you* can't do anything but react to it when it happens.
There are only a handful of people in the world with the power and opportunity to change the outcome in those turning points, and none of us are them.
Side note....
We can kind of guess what may come and we can attempt to mitigate those comings....
That is about it.

Yep, we can try to prepare to deal with the results, but there's nothing we can do to change the path.
Sort of like a passenger during a plane crash.

I wish that President Trump would order the military to drop Elizabeth Warren on Tehran and end this war once and for all. She would drive the IRGC nuts. Ask America how it knows. lol

Pretty sure that would be considered a war crime
Oh is that how we justify it? Yeah, I was a bitching up a storm then too.
Short term pain for long term gain. Isn't that the new brainwashing slogan now?
$3.66 here in SC when I filled up Saturday…and talks of suspending the .28 cents a gallon gas tax for 6 months.
