I hope you are correct AKIron...

I don't think the swings are done swinging myself...I think it's going to go on for a while in one form or another..

Because I wonder if that is about to be suggested after the "perfect" phone call with Vlad yesterday.

I'm just curious on peoples stances before and after the announcement is made.

It is a politically charged issue and I don't have the points left to discuss it.

Do you not believe the current price I showed or do you believe it will go back up and stay there? I think it will fluctuate for a while yet but if the Islamic Republic is deposed it's going to come down and stay.

Do you think you will change the regime without boots on the ground?

Not just assassinate individuals, but replace the regime with one of your choosing?

Are you confident you can accomplish that with air power alone?

Can you plink them into a parliamentary system?  Does it work that way?

Or is regime change still a requirement? 

How sad if this was all just an "a liddle excursion".  Wag the Dog?

Yeah.  I don't think you're getting back to 130\day for a while.

I wouldn't believe everything (or anything) from some sources.

And the US does have mine sweepers. And the ability to discourage mine laying.

That's good because I thought we had already destroyed their navy so I was confused about how they were laying mines.

You could lay mines from a row boat. They'll regret it, briefly, if they do.

Is it not obvious that a lunatic cult so willing to destroy not only their own people but take as many others with them as they can must not be allowed to obtain nuclear weapons? Someone had to stop them.

So while we're getting these terror-rowboats under control, are you for or against an easing of sanctions on Russian oil exports to increase global supply?

Since we are only facing a few rowboats and building refineries in Texas, is there any believable argument we must lift Russian sanctions to save the world economy?  That would be ridiculous, right?
