The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Pro-Iranian armed groups, including the Saraya Awliya al-Dam (Blood Guardian Brigades), have claimed responsibility for recent attacks near Erbil,

To clear things up a bit, Erbil is the capital of the Kurdish region in norther Iraq. As reported yesterday, the US and Israel are trying to sucker the Kurds into attacking Iran.

We old phartz recall how Stuxnet, said to be a coproduction of the US and Israel, was used against Iran's uranium enrichment program, some years ago. The US and Israel are the most likely suspects to unleash a cyberweapon on Iraq, because the Iraqi government leans toward Iran.

Let's burn the entire Persian Gulf oil patch down, to enrich USian big oil. It's what they paid Trump the Magnificent to do. WTI over $78 this morning. iirc, WTI was about $20 lower in January. Brent is at $84.50. Lotsa, lotsa, money for big oil!
