The question is whether they will face any consequences for their actions.

Given how old Trump is, probably not any clear consequences. Perhaps if America continues what its doing, eventually some of the people involved today will face consequences of their actions.

Like the consequences other countries face when they do the stuff America is doing right now.

Stuff like having oil and not being a vassal? Its clearly not based them doing awful things to people, otherwise we'd be bombing places like Israel instead of providing them bombs. Anyways, probably not. Nukes are at least a deterrent against direct aggression...

Or will it be back to normal as soon as the regime changes. Will there be any lasting effects in how the world deals with US?

I'd love to believe so. Its disheartening seeing how much W. Europe and Australia have been on-board with all of this though, but we'll see if that changes over time. They're still working on becoming more independent of the US and that will take some time. I'd be cool if it disrupted US relations with GCC states and further downgraded the role USD as the petrodollar (and/or a renewed push to become less dependent on fossil fuels). It'll be interesting to see the consequences of going through many years of military supply production in a couple weeks

I had someone at work who has never said anything about politics to me afaik tell me that the US is doing this for the Iranian people. There's clearly some consent manufacturing going on somewhere that works on people who lack any broader context. I think we just clown on how bad the attempts are so much it's hard to take those attempts as serious.

But with it be via friendly fire or Havana syndrome?

Given it's propping up the mythical stock market, Im not sure they'd want to give it the negative publicity.

If there's no traffic, it goes from 10-15 minutes to ~1+ hour (most of which is outside of the buses). Ebiking is great though (~40 minutes and not as affected by traffic - sometimes its faster than driving because of that).

insider trading about inside trading?

About 4-5 hours (IIRC) before, the massive drop-off in bar activity around the pentagon made it obvious something was happening imo. But not sure what evidence was 6 hours before (bar activity was normal at the time I think).

Is Youwalk involved?

Unless your hotness is already 0.

Because its used to benefit megacorps in practice. This situation is just more proof of that.

I'd guess the 3 ships getting attacked (and maybe a Russian oil depot getting hit) convinced a few more that the strait is closed?

Originally it would have been an ovaries pocket, I suppose? But repurposing it is nice.
