apparently "some" news outlets are reporting 80 u.s. military
deaths. they are probably the equivalent to faux fake news.
from what i hear, most iranians know there were no deaths
sustained.

re <<There's something happening here, what it is ain't exactly clear>>

... truth is not yet clear, a fair statement. Lots of guesses.

We have alleged photos of rockets rising.

We do not have pics of before / after rockets landing.

Maybe fair to note that ...

(1) The immediacy of the Iran war seems to have fizzled into nothingness

(2) We are fairly certain that ballistic rockets were fired, given that all sides reported the firings. We do not know efficacy, and whether the kinetics were opposed by anti-ballistic system. We have no photos from either side of the hubbub of the allegedly hit base camps. Need the photos, and need both sides to confirm authenticity

(3) Given all the hubbub & fretting, to and fro, zigs & zags, maybe the Great Game chess board changed, and perhaps not. If changed, not sure how and to what effect if any. We may not know until months or even years later, and maybe even decades from now.

(4) Oil back down to level before all the commotion started

(5) Gold back on original macro program and off of geopolitical guidance. Should give back all gains due to this iteration of actions and counteractions, to say 1515

The sad truth here is that to win ANY of these wars the US will need to reprise Japan '45.. and become pariahs
