High gas prices only benefits the US big oil and their backers, while screwing over everyone else and driving the inflation up. Unlike China or Russia, American oil isn't owned by the USA nor by Americans, but by corporations. Hence the only thing Biden could do in 2022 was open up the oil reserves.
It only works if it is not so excessively high that people can’t afford it! Must drive this point home. If I were Trump I’d be abusing the executive order so that there is a cap on the oil price.

So I assume at least 5,000 marines and 18,000 from the 82nd airborne is preparing to invade Iran. There should be several thousand other troops on the region they can use.

Give it enough time and the 23,000 becomes 50,000 then it becomes 250,000 and then 1,000,000 with the goal post moving from Hormuz to occupying Tehran.

Israel will provide thoughts and prayers for the first couple of days before offloading the rest on the US ground forces.
Israel is detecting a buildup of American forces in the region, including the warship Tripoli, in preparation for a military operation to end the Iranian blockade of the strategic shipping lane. An Israeli source estimated that the campaign would last several weeks, with Israel initially expected to participate by providing intelligence to support American forces and the Gulf states.

US ground forces should be proud to receive the upcoming OIL Barrel Medal (Operation Iranian Liberation) after their 15th tour in the mountains of Iran.

Trump says he's 'not afraid' of Vietnam-style ground combat in Iran​

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he is 'not afraid' to deploy US ground troops within Iran , further emphasizing the lengths he is willing to go in his Middle East war. Speaking from the Oval Office alongside Ireland's Taoiseach, Micheal Martin, the President fielded many questions about the Iran war. 'Are you afraid that if you put boots on the ground in Iran, it could be another Vietnam?' one reporter asked. 'No,' Trump shot back, adding, 'I'm not afraid of anything.' The President has previously said that he would deploy ground troops if 'necessary,' but he has offered few details on what scenario would prompt a boots-on-the-ground invasion.

Probably because there are no cluster munitions being used, what we are seeing is just flares being used as penetration aids.

if you see Russian cluster munitions… there is no doubt that they have submunitions exploding over a wide area. In this war we have seen zero explosions from anything resembling that.

Pictures showing a few burning cars do not prove cluster munitions are bung used.

Real cluster munitions will be seen and heard as dozens of explosions happening almost simultaneously, if you have any evidence of this please share.
Are they penetration aids? We have seen photos of some Iranian ballistic warheads equipped with multiple submunitions and the damage they do on ground seems to be like a mortar strike. I doubt they are penentration aids because from the videos, Israel doesnt even bother to intercept them.

They arent the same as smerch cluster warhead MLRS that I have seen in Syria but i don't see them as flares for sure.

The AN/MPQ-53 is remotely controlled by the MSQ-104 control station, via a cable link. It is able to track more than 100 potential targets and to engage up to 9 of them.

Patriot can track 100 target .

80 warhead suspiciously close to the limit of the radar.
To make it worst, if they have to search as well due to lack of early warning the it increase dramatically.

I think the US doesn't have enough active troops for 250,000, I think the current number is 150,000 or something, it will require to call the reserves and a draft for 500,000 to fight both the regular and irregular Iranian military, different from previous conflicts the country is not in a civil war like Korean and Vietnam, the build up would have to be done under fire of ballistic missiles and drones and they will have to enter the worst terrain that the US had ever fought since Korea FULL FORCE, the deaths are going to be exponential.

But from the videos, i don't see a large explosive warhead trailing behind the cover of the penetration aid. I am happy to be wrong and appreciate videos showing it.
