I don't how this is possible. The Higgins has four General Electric LM2500-30 gas turbine engines siloed just for propulsion. They are independent and redundant. As long as one is good, she can move. And separately three Allison AG9140 Ship Service Gas Turbine Generators provide electrical. And then there are the backup batteries diesels.

Short of EMP or massive massive multi-deck fire that guts both main engine rooms and all three auxiliary machinery rooms this shouldn't be possible. This is a warship designed to take a beating and keep on ticking.

Three unidentified sources with knowledge of the matter have told Axios that CENTCOM has drawn up plans for a "short and powerful" series of strikes on Iranian targets, with the aim of pressuring Iran to give ground in negotiations.

This has zero chances of working, but the Iranian retaliation will most likely lead to massive production scarring of the GCC.

After this next round we will enter long term crude supply reduction. This is almost a guaranteed global recession. Prices might narrow under 170 dollar a barrel because of recession related demand collapse.

The oil futures market will skyrocket or level off based on the ego of one person. If Trump can shake off the loss, it will level off. Iran will walk away the winner and the oil will narrow down around 75-85. If Trump can't handle the thrashing and needs to break even, then things will escalate and the skies the limit.

The wreckage looks like a single engine bird and the flag seems much larger than what I can observe on Iranian Su-24. Also doesn't match an Iranian Su17/22.

I can't find a match up with this grey paint scheme either. Closest I can find is the Iranian Mirage F-1 paint scheme. Anyone have any ideas? I'm leaning towards AI.

This will mean an extended period of elevated prices for crude, LNG, distillates such as jet fuel, various petrochemical products such as chemicals, plastics and fertilizers amongst others. In an attempt to avoid an escalation trap and at the same time refuse admitting defeat, the US administration may jam the world into a state of strategic limbo. The oil markets will remain high but uncertainty will linger preventing full or speedy supply chain rewiring. Neither war nor peace, just indefinite blockade. And of course surrendering the initiative to Iran on the ultimate nature of the disposition of the conflict and its timing.

Iran claims it has the following cards to play:

>"They brag about the cards. Let's see: Supply Cards= Demand Cards. SOH (partly played)+BEM(unplayed)+Pipelines(unplayed)= Inv Release (played)+Demand Destruction (partly played)+More Price Adj (to come)."

But they never speak about this card. But should it be played we're in 300 dollars a barrel crude country real quickly. And real estate prices in the Middle East will bottom out.

Deadbeat John McCain refused to thank the Donald for his State Funeral. Maybe because: "He's a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren't captured."
