So the US has stirred the pot in the worlds 1st and 4th biggest oil reserves in the last 6 weeks….
China keeps a stranglehold on critical minerals. US gets a stranglehold on their oil.

Iran’s firing lots back, and a bit is getting through… It seems almost sporadic though; I’m wondering if Iran basically has standing of ‘launch if attacked’ but is struggling to coordinate? Missiles and drones are flying all over the Gulf and Israel. Rather than, it seems, tighter more concerted attacks on specific bases or facilities to try to completely overwhelm air defenses.
I would love to know what the consumption of missile interceptors looks like versus stockpiles and production rates. Very clearly the availability and use of large numbers of cheap drones like Shahed or, now, the U.S.’ reverse-engineered version thereof, ‘LUCAS’, is going to change how integrated air defense is looked it. Lessons do not appear to have been learned and implemented quickly enough from Ukraine.
On that, I wonder if this will reduce Russia’s access to Shahed style drones or if they’re producing enough of their own now?
