That the Iranians can cause an oil shock should probably have been in a briefing he received but could be difficult to relay in crayon or via the use of hand puppets.

The briefing was Fox News. He just wanted to make the story about himself, if the recent NYT article is to be believed.

How come no one is talking about what this has cost the tax payers? That attack must've a pricetag in the billions.
The planes and bombs are paid for, the air force was just standing around doing nothing, I'd say the only real cost was the fuel and airframe wear and tear.
You know that they are going to replace the bombs they used, and that has a cost, right?

I don't drive my car around thinking "well the gas has been paid for so my only cost is wear and tear."

What? Americans don't want war with Iran AND don't want nuclear proliferation? Those morons! Don't they see that force is the only way to ensure they don't get nuclear weapons! Surely the proletariat could think of something the lords and ladies couldn't!

I wonder what the issue is. Are Americans too stupid to remember that’s it’s been republicans who have gotten us into wars in the last 50 years or are republicans so good at messaging that they’ve successfully rebranded the Democrat party as the party of war?

I'm hearing on the news that Iranian proxies seemingly handed a note to President Trump at the G7 warning of sleeper cells in the US that would be activated if the US bombed Iran. That was right before he cut the G7 trip to Canada short and came home early.

So...the President is warned of terror attacks on US soil as a consequence, and he rushes home to bomb Iran. He doesn't seem to care about consequences in cities (especially those where he plans to deploy Marines and NG) does he?

edit: Here's a source

Also interesting, it seems Fox News is already putting out talking points blaming Biden for any future terror attacks on US soil due to his "open border" policies. It seems Tom Cotton told Kilmeade this morning that Biden would take the blame for any attacks because 720 Iranians were allowed to enter the country during his term.

Are they wagging the dog here? It seems like a terror attack on US soil is being played to political advantage. Are they thinking this will help them pass the Big Beautiful Bill?

Republicans and bombing the Middle East, name a more iconic duo

The point is that the military budget won't have to be increased to pay for the bombings. Where they necessary? It seems unlikely because the excuse has been recycled so many times, though it's possible that Iran keeps rebuilding the program.

So is Donnie boy gonna go "ballistic" first time an Iranian missile hits a US something in the region?
I dont see him balancing a little tit for tat and balancing that equation at all.

He might just accept it like he did after the Soleimani retaliation. Or not. Who's to say? We got involved in a war based entirely on vibes.

Do bombs not have a "best before" date? I mean, I ate the last three eggs in the fridge the other day, not because I particularly wanted scrambled egg, but because they would soon go off otherwise. Does something similar not apply to bombs? If so that would explain a lot about American foreign policy.

I think this would be very bad for Iran if they did this. In fact, I would think the only way they could do it that would cause real chaos would be to mine it.
