Turns out TACO doesn't work all the time when he isn't holding all the cards as he thinks
May all Trump's SPX call options expire worthless.

Oof, that looks bad. I don't know much about the overall industry to know how bad that it is in the big scheme of things, but I take it that it must be really significant.

It looks like it was probably these storage tanks. Fortunately there is no refinery or anything nearby, and it's not a very large tank farm. Possible other stuff got hit nearby too, there is an ammonia plant the the NW. But you can't tell how much damage from those videos. They look bad, but probably not a huge loss relative to what could be targeted.

Here's the one in Hardisty, for comparison.

U.S. intelligence indicates that Iran's leadership is still largely intact and is not at risk of collapse any time soon after nearly two weeks of relentless U.S. and Israeli bombardment, according to three ​sources familiar with the matter.
A "multitude" of intelligence reports provide "consistent analysis that the regime is not in danger" of collapse and "retains control of the Iranian public," #said one of the sources, all of whom were granted anonymity to discuss U.S. intelligence findings.
To the surprise of…?

Remember when the orange turd was yelling at Zelensky "you are gambling with WW3". Another projection I guess?

It's always been projection. He criticized Biden and Harris many times claiming they'd start wars, even specifically with Iran.

Yes, Ukraine has blown up hundreds of these tanks.

All that said, the Cheeto clearly bit way more than he could chew and this is a full on international disaster.

Shahed drones are a nightmare to handle, and Iran has several thousands of these in stock at any time and can mass produce them. And they would be easily to infiltrate as well in areas in the NA.

I don't even think it's projection with Trump. He is so transactional in nature he doesn't consider what was said or planned in the past or what the repercussions are for the future. He just stumbles from one issue to the next in a bubble with his only concern is "winning" in the very short term.

If he was a chess player he would never sacrifice a pawn to win the game because each pawn is a game unto itself. He would declare victory after he captures his opponents pawn and then flip over the board after he is checkmated. I guess that's what they mean by 4D chess.

There is no capacity for big picture, long term planning. A lot of people are like this and they tend to have very difficult lives. Trump was fortunately born very wealthy and in a system that values wealth and celebrity above all, so he's been rescued over and over again and stumbled his way to the most important job in the world, instead of living behind some dumpster huffing paint fumes and selling $5 blowjobs.

If only there was a country that has experience dealing with this threat on a daily basis and found ways to cheaply counter them that could be referred to for help. I heard they have no cards though and shouldn't be allowed in NATO, so that sucks.
