Only a fool wants war. If this goes full metal jacket, there is no telling what unintended consequences will occur. More young men and women will die and for what.

Iran killed thousands in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq. Why do you give them a pass? Who exactly wants the war?

If they start lobbing scud missiles at each other in the mid-east the price of oil goes up. Explain to me how that's bad for western Canada. The only way this turns bad is if Trump sends troops in and that just isn't a believable scenario. He may deplete some of their drone and cruise missile stocks but boots on the ground? Not likely.

Id imagine Raytheon will be getting a large order in the next few days to replace all the Tomahawks that will be lumbering into Iran shortly...

Rules of engagement are pretty clear, that the US is well within its rights to attack the facilities that launched the Scuds.

Still not 100% clear if the missiles originated from sovereign Iranian soil or via militia forces inside Iraq. If those things came from Iran, I think it's fair to say the simmering feud is about to go HOT!

Really?
It's bad in a whole lot of ways, enjoy putting your crop in with $2/litre diesel, not to mention significant chance of nuclear holocaust with both sides having unstable leaders. If anyone thinks it's a one strike and done event, I say BS, the US cannot back down as would destabilize the entire world security, and Iran has nothing to lose and a whole lot of genetic hatred towards the west.

GDR, the US has tripled its domestic supply of oil since the Iraq invasion, Canada has added another million bbls to our own. The price wont move more than 5%.

Iran has everything to lose. US will barely notice.

You should know by now as a farmer commodity markets have no connection to actual supply and demand factors. Its merely a game played by the big boys to make money off the rest of us. All that is needed is a possible problem to manipulate the market.

You do realize the U.S. refineries are mostly built for cheap heavy middleast crude not western light crude.

Seems a bit much to be a coincidence?

The information on the citizenship of the passengers of the Ukrainian aircraft appeared on the network: - Citizens of:
🇺🇦 Ukraine - 15
🇮🇷 Iran has 71
🇨🇦 Canada - 73
🇩🇪 Germany - 4
🇬🇧 Great Britain - 3
🇸🇪 Sweden - 8
🇦🇫 Afghanistan - 6

The price at the pump WILL go up if this fight escalates and it is foolish to think otherwise.

This ALL started because wingnut Trump Cancelled the Nuclear agreement with Iran.
Trump didn’t understand the deal but Obama had done it ,So it must be bad
Then he put on punishing sanctions on Iran

First Bush Destabilizes Iraq which kept Iran in check, the destabilization Creates ISIS and now Trump continues the F##k up

Lets correct that statement.

Bush jr caused the original destabilization with the iraq invasion and no plan for rebuilding the country.

Iran stepped into the vacuum along with ISIS and those proxy groups spread into Syria, Lebanon, Palestine etc. They are the reason Assad survived until Russia came in.

Obama bribes Iran with $150B to stop nukes for a few years. That money arms proxies more, spreads their influence further until Iran is in Iraq and beyond. World demands US remove ISIS, Iran takes that territory too and moved unimpeded through the region all the way to Israel border. Iran resume secret enrichment anyway, sells tech to NK, arms terrorists etc.

Trump elected to clean it up.

It started in 1978 .....

Let me rephrase, Trump to get us the hell out of there and let the region go to hell. Park a carrier group at the straight and let china try and get oil out of there.

Develop NA oil out the yingyang until Canada US are producing 25mm bbl a day, forget that there is 2/3rd of the globe still living like its the stone age.
