This communication and that new-fangled thing called consultation - see, it doesn't really hurt that much does it, Mr Trump? You sound quite chuffed.

Trump: Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization; Final aspects will be...

Meanwhile the civilised world is moving ahead by stepping around anything to do with the USA like it is a pothole in the road. It does have drive-thru everything, though. So that's something.

U.S. prepares for new military strikes against Iran

"That is INSANE IMO, but apparently not in the market's opinion" The market's opinion is insane.

Trump: "Solid 50/50" on Iran deal or bombing; will meet senior advisers today and may make a...

Technically, there is no war; that's why. Only Congress has the power to declare war according to Article 1 of the US Constitution, and they have not. Unless I blinked and missed something. In the meantime, it is a military conflict.

It is very good for Americans to know that they do the superpower thing the best, the best in the world, the best the world has ever seen and will ever see. It is all that matters.

U.S. prepares for new military strikes against Iran

50/50 means he needs to consult with Nancy Reagan (his senior advisors, plural).

It isn't really surprising that tourism has pretty much ceased in the gulf countries. There are quite a few plays that have a non-zero probability of happening that could be worse than the Strait being closed for another 30-60 days. The Straight of ...

US and Iran close to extending ceasefire by 60 days, say mediators

There are no negotiations. The mediators just shut the doors and either play cards or watch re-runs of Baywatch. When they get bored and want to go home someone reaches into a barrel to pick out a random pre-written announcement.

US and Iran close to extending ceasefire by 60 days, say mediators

1. The current conflict was not mentioned in the comment made by @Twocans. The word "because" in your retort is therefore vacuous. It could be implied, of course. Let's focus and seek favourable options, eh? 2. the past is a sunk cost and therefore ...

Iran threatens to extend conflict ‘beyond the region’ if U.S. and Israel resume attacks

The same logic that Trump uses when he dishes out falsehoods, with intent to deceive, by the truckload. He hopes that nobody will notice. Or, perhaps not. There is the real possibility that the lies conveyed are, in the minds of the zombie, in fact ...

UAE says Iran attempt to control Hormuz "Pipe Dream"

This is true about the apparent home ground advantage. However, the market could be a basketball court which are flat surfaces. But then, some are measured in feet, which would advantage players in the USA. Others are measured in metres, which would ...

Fed interest-rate rate hike chances grow, minutes from Powell's last meeting suggest

How high must Fed interest rates increase to stop business folk passing on the cost of tariffs to the end product? Will higher Fed interest rates stop producers (be it shipping, airlines or fertilisers) passing on the costs of higher energy prices? ...

Fed interest-rate rate hike chances grow, minutes from Powell's last meeting suggest

"Nothing seems more transient than this". 30-year bond yields have not been higher than they currently are since June 2007. Some perspective, Mr Bessent. This isn't just some spike due to current turmoil; it is the cumulative effect of many years of ...

Bessent says high bond yields, energy prices are 'transient,' will ease as Iran war ends

This response is on another page from what Twocans proposed. One is looking to the future, another is dwelling on the past. 1. free the people of Iran in order for them to install a government for the people, run by people of Iran who want a ...

Iran threatens to extend conflict ‘beyond the region’ if U.S. and Israel resume attacks

You don't think that yields will increase because if they do people will lose a lot of money. The reason that you think that is because this isn't the stock market. With the bond market, there are fewer people participating than in the stock market ...

Japan, China lead foreign government retreat from U.S. Treasurys as Iran war fallout stokes...

Watch out for responses that manage to combine an unstable mixture of Marxist vocabulary, conspiracy framing, geopolitical analysis, meme slang, culture-war insults, and political jargon - maybe without any careful connective logic. This ...

Trump: For Iran, the clock is ticking, and they better get moving, fast, or there won’t be...

Are you suggesting that if the insurrectionist could constitutionally have another term or terms as el presidento, the fine people of the United States would continue to elect him? That would be spectacular.

Trump: For Iran, the clock is ticking, and they better get moving, fast, or there won’t be...

To create a deflection by specifically demeaning Trump is hardly necessary in the circumstances.
