$BTC looking strong after the U.S. base attack news

Could continue to rip up though prior targets to short

If the US further escalates the issue with an aggressive response, the condition will worsen in the affected areas. The adversities will affect the world citizens as large as well, as the tax payers would eventually pay for the war expenses.
