The "shooting war" in the Strait of Hormuz, if it occurs at all, will be listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the shortest war in history.

Bugger. Last thing I need is every tv station playing constant repeats of footage of US cruise missiles hitting Iran, pushing the Lego Master finale back to a time slot past my bedtime.

Yeah, be watching with interest-time to fill the car & jerry cans before fuel costs skyrocket.

Rest assured the price hike would have nothing to do with supply but a lot to do with profit and perception...

So how do they know so quickly that this was specifically a Katyusha rocket as opposed to any other?

According to my little brother, they are VERY good at identifying an explosive with little more than a large hand full of thumbnail size fragments.
No.. I don't have more details than that, but I believe what he has said about things like this. He has been at it too long to BS anyone.

Yes every munition has it own characteristics, the parth that it travels, noise made, size of explosion and damage, fragments etc. The latest info is that Iran used underwater drones to damage the oil tankers. The US sent an aircraft carrier battle group to the area, now are claiming victory as Iran stopped the aggression. Iran is desperately due to failing economy and sanctions |

I believe it's now prudent to make sure ones fuel stocks are in good order. Prices of petroleum products may jack up something fierce and this will be compounded by a weakening Australian dollar.

I picked up three 44 galon drums that had held e85 racing fuel, a free gift from my adopted wild child (a young lady, daughter of an outlaw bikie, who I have a special relationship with). One drum still partially full. Maybe I should fill them up.

It's widely reported by MSM Trump gave the Generals the greenlight for an attack and then White House staff convinced Trump to turn the planes around and order them to come home! |

Could all this be because Trump wouldn't continue the $500B that Obama was paying to Iran?
The whole world is a powder keg at the moment, with major intercontinental conflicts very close to tipping point all over the world.
This Iran is obviously at the forefront and then the China thing is running a very close 2nd with the Philippines president begging for the war with China so they can claim their waters back that China has moved into and is shooting up and sinking fishing trawlers
