Apparently the hotels that were struck in Dubai etc were attacked because US military personnel were working remotely there due to US bases being damaged.

But thanks to the Fascist Dictator Canadians have once again woken up to the folly of tying yourself so closely to a giant who goes rogue. The Republican Party should be deeply ashamed of themselves for kowtowing to tRump. Mind you, there is plenty of things the Republican Party should be ashamed about - they helped create the situation that would make the election of tRump possible - with their poverty inducing policies. The Republican Party is as loathsome as the Nazi Party.

And then there is the feckless Democrats. Absolutely useless.

The World works in mysterious ways.

House prices went sky high because of investors/speculators increasing demand (and massive immigration). Maybe if the government regulated more who buys housing (home dwellers not investors) rather than regulating what gets built. Also, have more sensible immigration levels.

Since developers will be less likely to build with falling prices perhaps the govt can build rent to own housing for lower income earners. Or incentivize private developers to build affordable housing.

High prices doesn't necessarily mean its purely a supply problem. If profit is high with low supply for developers what incentive would they have to increase supply?

Cue the downvotes.

Agreed. Which is why the Chinese do NOT want their currency to become the Petrodollar or world's reserve currency. They know that that is what destroyed US Manufacturing. China wants to maintain their manufacturing dominance. They've seen what de-industrialization has done to the US.

Cheers. That made me laugh!

I heard it was popular with Republicans.

Also, the Democratic party establishment seems pretty mum on this war so far. They are full of neocons too.

Homes for people. Not investors.

The Gulf States are finished.

Also, you are forgetting that BB/Israel wants the Gulf States to get into the War against Iran. So it is highly plausible that some of those hits are the Israeli's. The Israeli's are masters at subterfuge.

I think their intent is to bomb Iran into rubble.

BB has pulled off the ultimate coup. He's managed to sucker a US President into doing the dirty work cutting Iran down to a manageable size with the US paying for almost all the costs. The Pentagon loves it of course because they get to "test" out their toys to see how well they work.

The Iranian people pay the highest price. The rest of us pay economically through sky high oil prices.
