Is The Stock Market That Stupid Or Is It Just A Con Game [View all]

Crude oil dropped today because Krasnov said something positive about a peace plan, are they that stupid?

There are no meaningful negotiations going on, the fake negotiations are a smoke screen before Kransov puts boots on the ground, as soon as Friday.

We can capture Kharg Island and several other islands nearby with minor casualties, but then what, how do we stay there?

Iran may have a lot of boobie traps, may decide to blow the island up instead of letting the US capture it?

A lot of US planes and troops are headed to the ME so Krasnov is either doing this to intimidate Iran or boots on the ground is coming this weekend.

The war in Iran has only just begun.
