The difference is they'll be going after regular every day American citicens, not dictatorships who abuse their woman.

And they will do so with the monarchial powers you will have bestowed on them.

I wouldn't be a cheerleader for this no mater who did it.
I find it simpler to keep things straight if I don't have to constantly adjust my morals based on who is in office.

However, I might be cheering it if the proper Constitutional process had been followed. 

But if this is has the slightest chance to become a 10 year, 100 bil$, 5k dead American long term effort then we need to have debated that in Congress and I want everyone's vote on paper in ink.

This was dripping with politics from the first post. Let's stick with the price of oil.

OK.

But you didn't answer my question before, if you would support lifting of Russian sanctions to moderate oil prices if the Gulf stays locked up, would you be for that?

For my part, I'm not.

Don't imagine I have no response to "legalities". I just don't have the points here to address this properly.

In the end, a terrorist regime, which has killed thousands of it's own and others, will be no more.

Are you sure about that...

When do we move on to the next group we can "free"...

Where is that list ... pretty sure there's a bunch we can help out right...

That kool-aid must be tasty..

Well, they're still there.

You really think we can shape their government with bombing?

Are you OK with boots on the ground to finish the job?

They just changed personnel. The Constitution was violated to buy us an org chart shuffle. 

When FDR died that wasn't the end of America.
When Stalin died that wasn't the end of the USSR.

If you really want a different regime, it will take boots.  How bad you want it?

Did I mention oil is staying about $85 a barrel now? That's $35 less per barrel than the panic inspired. It'll get better. When the people of Iran dump their dictator and have free elections we may see below $50 barrel. Then you guys will have to find something else to complain about.

That's a deflection.

If the price gets high enough to cause economic pain, and the Gulf is not fully open for business, would you support the easing of Russian sanctions to put more oil in the system.

Are you OK the the fundamental concept?

Because that suggestion is coming, which is why I think some people are hesitant to express an opinion yet.  When the winds are so shifty, its hard not to fall on the wrong side of a talking point if you take a stand too early.

Same with troops on the ground.  That suggestion is coming too.

Deflection? Isn't this thread about the price of oil? It's $85 btw, not $120.

I'm under no obligation to respond to off topic posts. Or on topic for that matter.

As of March 11, 2026, U.S. gas and oil prices have risen significantly compared to the start of President Trump's second term in January 2025, driven by conflict in the Middle East. The national average for gasoline has surged to roughly $3.58 per gallon, up from just under $3.00 per gallon at the beginning of his term in January 2025.

Gasoline and Oil Price Comparison (Approximate)
Commodity    Start of 2nd Term (Jan 2025)   Today (March 11, 2026)
National Avg Gas   ~$3.19/gallon   ~$3.58/gallon
WTI Crude Oil   ~$60–$70/barrel (early 2025)   ~$85–$90/barrel

Key Trends and Factors:
Rapid Surge: Gas prices have jumped approximately 50+ cents a gallon in early March 2026 due to escalating conflict involving Iran.
Highest Level: Current gasoline prices are at their highest level under the second Trump administration, exceeding the $3.32 peak reported on March 6, 2026.
"Rockets and Feathers": While oil prices fluctuated after briefly soaring to over $115–$120 a barrel in March 2026, retail gas prices have not immediately fallen, following the "rockets and feathers" trend where prices rise quickly but decrease slowly.

Comparison to Promises: The current rise wipes out earlier 2025 progress when prices hovered closer to $3 or lower, notes CNN Business and AAA.
Note: Data represents national averages; local prices may vary. The situation is volatile based on the ongoing conflict.

It's going to be worse by Nov.

Now might be a good time to go short on oil. If you have the nerve. It may go up again before it falls to stay.
