- I don't know if I will be talking about " The War" on a regular basis, or just this once.
Yesterday, I had to stop watching......Just too much.....
Let's talk a little about what is going on.
The British press is talking about "several" US jets crashing in Kuwait. They even have one distressed in a video.
The British are even taking about evacuating 90,000-100,000 of their citizens from the Gulf Region. Should be interesting unless they call a cease fire to stop Iran, there will be drones and missiles shot at the British Air Force planes. ( There are no plans as of yet for US evacuations)
The are rumors Iran has been offered a deal , but has turned it down. ABC News is saying the Iranians are saying, " No Negotiation."
As reported yesterday, 3 US Troops were killed, 5 badly injured. There will be more reports like this in the coming days, sadly. ( Iran is claiming 500+ US killed......)
There are some US Navy ships in the Persian Gulf, and they may not be able to get out.
A British base was attacked by drone on the island of Cyprus in the Mediterranean. If they can get to Cyprus, there are other parts of Europe they probably can reach.
The Israeli Army/Air Force has opened a second front against Hezbollah in Lebanon.
The Saudi Aramco refinery has been hit by a suicide drone.
As of 4am CT, the price of West Texas Intermediate( WTI) Oil is up 8%, about plus $5. And is rising. Brent Sea Oil is at $80 a barrel.
Also at 4am CT, the Dow has dropped -600 on stock futures.
Gold is at $5400 at ounce.
( Going to watch Tom Keen on Bloomberg Radio live stream at 6am to see what he says.)
I may write on this as it continues. I really want to write on economics right now, and am working on another Buna School blog.( Buna School blogs are sometimes difficult to write.)
