  • Trump extends deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz

    From bnnbloomberg.ca

    Iran and the United States appeared at an impasse Thursday, with each side hardening its position over talks and setting the stage for another potential escalation in the Middle East war. Thousands more U.S. troops neared the region, Israel poured more troops into southern Lebanon to fight the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah, and Tehran tightened its grip on the crucial Strait of Hormuz. Sirens over Israel warned of barrages of incoming Iranian missiles, and Gulf nations worked to intercept fire. Heavy strikes were reported in Iran’s capital and other cities. In a war that appears defined by who can take the ... (full story)

This is going to end in a global economic disaster if the two sides don't develop some basis for de-escalation. As preliminary, temporary steps so the two side could start at least talking to each other, I think the following actions are necessary:
-- Immediate cessation of US and Israeli bombing.
-- US agrees to send ground troops out of the area
-- US agrees to move aircraft carriers out of immediate vicinity
-- Israel ceases attacks on Lebanon
-- Iran stops firing missiles
-- Iran allows some specified number -- say 30-50 -- ships through Hormuz daily. They can charge a fee per vessel.

Mind you, I have no belief that any of this will happen. So the outlook is not good.

Everything you mentioned, the opposite is happening.

I am from the region, I will suffer first and probably more than anyone, but this escalation is actually a good thing.
- the zios and muricans really got embolden by the gaza genocide, pager terror attack on 100s of civilians in Lebanon and installing ISIS as the head of state in Syria - it was hubris, they assumed nothing can challenge them and they can do anything they wanted.

Guess what? The world did watch - all western countries did support this while arresting and oppressing their citizens who protested, even enacting laws against their people, global south was pretty much toothless too and this is the consequences!
- Only the axes of resistance countries did something and it faced the whole natostan alone! including arms from the whole world shipped to bomb us.

Now lets burn everything and have reset, because why should a system that allow this kind of actions to not only go unpunished, but actually reward perpetrator?

These events usually happens spread across decades to sanitize people, but this happened in the span of months, lets burn everything down and perhaps, we as humans will act different next time this happens any place on earth.
- the excuse of politicians doing x or y while we are powerless dont fly, the world have become a moral cesspit, humanity have lost its value and meaning - most think about themselves and their immediate comforrt and dont realize these type of events actually have consequences far more important than any single persons comfort or well-being.

When the market goes down Trump will do something to make it go back up because his bosses insist so.

Bankers and billionaires aren't just going to sit and watch their money go away because Trump is acting like an idiot.

Hubris. Yes, that is exactly the word for it. The same kind of hubris that got the U.S. into Iraq, and Afghanistan. And how did that turn out? I'm not so sure about burning everything down. I don't think that's necessary. The current system is already collapsing, and we all have front row seats. Inequality in the U.S. (Elon owns more than 53% of Americans, combined), "drill baby drill" while the climate is flashing more warning signs every year, When people finally wake up and realize that floods, and fires, and sea level rising is now a part of their daily life, then maybe they'll wake up and go after those responsible with pitchforks. But by then it will be too late. It's the ancient Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times.

My friend, what we are witnessing here is a possible restructuring of how the global economy works. I have the impression that people haven't yet realized the disaster this will cause within a few months, and I, like you, don't think things will get better.

I'm suspending the attacks on the energy system and extending the deadline for opening the pump?! That idiot just told you I have no cards in my hand to win this war so I'm just delaying the time until the markets collapse!!! Nobody talks to him and so he puts on a show for his stupid voters. He made the USA great again just like Nixon did in 1973 during the Iran crisis it cost $10 a gallon of gas too. LOL
