Good news, @benshapiro. The U.S. Army is increasing the maximum enlistment age from 34 to 42. You made the cut. https://t.co/z1X4UIeGsT pic.twitter.com/R4cTELvIFl

I have a very good money guy managing a portion of my assets.
I mean very good.
He got ahead of the war and I'm only down around 2% from pre-war levels and up for the year.
He reached out yesterday with a recommendation that I have a minimum of 25% dry powder/dry powder equivalents in the assets I am managing.
What you're seeing is manipulation of the financial markets by a president's tweets possibly combined with insider trading.
'13 US Regional Bases Uninhabitable': NYT
...Something analysts suspected was the case over the course of the last weeks of expanding war: "Many of the 13 military bases in the region used by American troops are all but uninhabitable, with the ones in Kuwait, which is next door to Iran, suffering perhaps the most damage." This is based on statements by unnamed US defense officials who admit they've had to scramble to find 'alternative' housing and office solutions for personnel.

France is saying more than a third of gulf oil infrastructure is GONE. We still have markets operating as if this will be over soon and we'll pivot to the next flavor of the month. People have no fucking clue what has ALREADY been done to the global economy in a few short weeks. https://t.co/lskFwGPVvK

- No pause from Tehran, war footing deepens: Iran denies requesting Donald Trump's 10-day halt
- Escalation on all fronts: IRGC HQ targeted by US-Israsel; Iran signals expansion by naming UAE targets, hitting Kuwait ports and sending drones on Riyadh
- Israel doubles down amid reports of manpower strain: IDF chief warns of manpower pressure even as Defense Minister Katz vows to "intensify and expand" strikes.
- Risk rises that Iran is holding back more advanced missiles for a prolonged war: WSJ writes "The US and Israel are pounding Iran's missile-launching sites... But Tehran's missiles keep flying."
EDIT: Markets down 0.5%-0.8% premarket depending on the index. Gold up. Crypto -4%. Vix up almost 9%.
Are we seeing the end of the ability of this administration to jawbone the markets?
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that the U.S. does not view the Strait of Hormuz as a "choke point" for the global economy, per PBS

Would think missiles would be linked to uninhabitable. The NY Times article ended by saying how well the US operates when remote.
"Sergeant Bryant, a former Air Force special operator, pointed out that one area that the U.S. military excels at is what he called "decentralized execution," or the ability to continue to do its job even from far afield.
"You could cut off the head of the snake and down to the last individual soldier, we're still going to be operating," he said."
The OP made it sound like the AF guys were not willing to stay in combat level accommodations.
Here are a few articles on it.

All this may be true but I would be very cautious of "statements from unnamed US defense officials." We have been down this road before. I would also like to know how many "regional bases" are there total to put this in context. 6 months from now we may find out the "regional bases" were no more than a shack with an IT connection and no living quarters to start with.

Between 10 and 20, depending on how you define them. Iran has hit a majority of the larger ones.

At discussing the issue and calling out the snakes, yes.
Your inferred claim is, of course, false.
We are in a war where we either win or lose. I choose to make sure we win. You do you.

Imagine that. I wonder why no one knew this would happen...
Let's hear how prolonging the war and sending troops in is really a good thing...
The only people who support this war are boomers, jews, and foreigners.
