This guy crusades hard.
What are we looking at for cost so far? Somewhere in the realm of ~40 billion in military operational costs, fast tracking that number with a cost of about 1.5 billion a day. Isreal is at about 3 billion a week. Unknown how much of that is from US funding, but at least some.
Global market volatility due to dramatic increases in oil prices may have cost as much as 3.5 trillion so far.
Direct cost the American consumer so far? Difficult to estimate. Though, The longer it goes, the more it costs. How much does this add to the deficit and what will the interest end up costing? Probably too difficult to estimate anywhere close to accurately, but safe to say not insignificant.
Then, what? 13 US soldiers killed? ~150 casualties? (Both numbers may have increased by the time you read this) And let’s throw in another 2,500 Marines on their way to presumably put some boots on the ground on Khang island.
With all of this factored in, how much is the reset going to cost and when will it be achieved? As another commenter above posted, there’s no off-ramp here. A “reset” can’t be achieved until insured oil flows safely through the strait of Hormuz and the US isnt spending $12-30 million dollars to intercept $50,000 drones. And, practically speaking, this outcome doesn’t involve manual Naval escorts for every single tanker through the region because that is too slow, too bottlenecked, too expensive and appears to be logistically impractical or even impossible.
You anticipating that we have bought into a 6 week reset, a 6 month reset, a 6 year reset or a 60 year reset? Let’s see some math.
