There's a number of rumours about how much damage has been inflicted on Israel, the trouble is finding credible information.

I've read that Israel's "Iron Dome" isn't very effective anymore. Given the fact, that Iran wants to terminate Israel and doesn't seems to stop bombing it is possible that they must use nuclear bombs in the end.

I also hope so.
 
This morning gas at one of my usual stations was still at $3 a gallon. So I put $5 bucks worth in my motorcycle which came close to filling it up. When I went by that station just a few minutes ago it was up tpn $3.50. So I guess I timed it right. :) That makes it up an even buck since the $2.50 that it was before "The War" started.

Had two price increases last week and have to check my local station this. It seems every day or two it's going up. It's panic pricing and buying because they suppliers want to make sure they have product to supply. Just like stock want to buy in before it really takes off in price.
 
I realize we have a no politics rule here on the forum but do we also in real life?

I’m astounded by our non reactive attitude by citizenry over the past year but especially now.

Why it’s like we’re all frozen. Suspended. Paralyzed.

Or is it amazement?

There is a book I have at home titled Why Aren’t We All Screaming.

  • Iran denied a US Navy ship had guided an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz, after a social media post by US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, which was later deleted

Yep, people are protesting ICE and their abuses, but not things that are even more important. Who knows?

Do you mean people in American or all over the World?

There have been protests in London both for and against.

Think about the number of people who say they don’t watch or read the news. If it’s not in their backyard, it doesn’t matter. It’s sad.

A lot of us who say we don't watch or read the news really mean we don't watch or read it obsessively. 24/7 news is a whirlpool of negativity and mis/dis information is rampant.

What's happening in the world matters to me, but a hyper-focus on those events makes me miserable and does nothing to change what's happening. However, I do vote and protest in accordance with my beliefs. This is true for many, many Americans.

I and many of my friends stay on top of what’s happening and we all are upset. I’ve had some difficulty sleeping since this occurred. This past year has been one of the worst of my life. It seems like everyday something else horrible happens.

I’ve been calling my representatives constantly to share my views on the issues and how they should vote. I’m doing everything possible that’s within my power.
