Gas prices are becoming a major issue...the US Navy must embrace risk or a recession is coming

I haven't been in the camp of those claiming that the current war with Iran could cause a global depression BUT a recession? Yeah that's a distinct possibility.

I continue to be a little miffed by the lack of an end game in the planning for this war.  

Certainly the DOD has used modeling to run the different scenarios and outcomes along with many variables that the Iranians could throw against us but since the end of active hostilities we seem to be floundering.

NOTE!  Not the US military, but our decision makers seem to be lost in the woods.

Gas prices in Louisiana are over 4 dollars a gallon.  I can't stand California but I imagine they're at least double the price.

Gas that high WILL lead to a recession.  Gas that high WILL lead to an economic slowdown.

If people haven't pulled back yet they soon will.

War is politics.  Economics is politics.  Mid Terms are around the corner and this administration is running out of time.

Which is why the US Navy must embrace risk.  They're escorting tankers and they should be prepared for one of those Burke Class Destroyers to get scuffed up a bit.

Maybe more than one.  Additionally our air crews are gonna get stressed providing cover and sinking those Iranian fast boats.

We're headed toward nut cutting time and I'm not sure policy makers are ready for the bill that is coming.
