  • Why TACO is Not Working

    From srikonomics.substack.com

    Markets have been slow to recognize the persistence of inflation and the likelihood that U.S. monetary policy will need to remain restrictive for longer than previously anticipated — two points made repeatedly in SriKonomics issues. This past week may prove to be an inflection point, marking the first clear shift in market perception. At the start of the week, with the Strait of Hormuz still largely closed to oil-carrying tankers, President Trump issued an ultimatum to Iran, giving the regime five days to respond before the United States would target energy facilities. When no response was forthcoming — and as ... (full story)

It has been arresting, torturing and killing anyone that dares question them for 47 years and has managed to spread its reign of terror to a number of countries
Hmm, you must be talking about the US.

Look at what happens when a bunch of extremist terrorists hijack a country and turn it into a base to destabilise the world. As if the world should just sit around and let these pirates get stronger and stronger and eventually dominate the world with a slew of atomic bombs. US (and NATO) should have stepped in much much earlier to take these imbeciles out. It's never too late. The longer the wait, the costlier or even impossible to take them out.

No. Trump is an elected official with a limited term.
I am talking about the Iran regime that hijacked control of Iran after the 1979 revolution and only allowed its own candidates to run ever since. It has been arresting, torturing and killing anyone that dares question them for 47 years and has managed to spread its reign of terror to a number of countries in the middle east.
Why do I have a feeling you know all that already?

Don't mind this provocation. Serbs are traditionally against USA no matter what. The government is shuttling between Russia and the WEST. They desperately need to become a part of the European community for the economical prosperity sake, but they can't say goodbye to their pro-Russian ideology. Moscow take advantage of their stupidity and year after year dragging them deeper and deeper down the misery.

Also, there are tensions with Kosovo and the Iranian regime is on the side of Serbia. They refuse to recognize Kosovo and at the same time they are strengthening the Shia society in Serbia, so the gov there sees Iran as a close friend and help them bypass the sanctions while EU witnesses this in anger.

Anyways, this is just another attempt by the Iran regime to expand and export itself wherever it sees opportunity.

He's literally describing Israel. To the word.

It was founded by designated terrorists like Menachem Begin, Yitzhak Shamir, David Ben-Gurion who later acquired nuclear bombs illegally and are currently in the process of destabilizing the entire world while attacking their neighbors unprovoked

{quote} In one breath Iran is weak, failure and is about to fall, next breath Iran have huge influence, proxies and threat to world peace Logical contradiction tuff! Houthis in the capital of Sanaa, who control the army and enjoy majority support in Yemen is a proxy - but PLC, who lives in Riyadh hotels - in saudi, have no support from local Yemenis people is the legitimate government.... Its a joke at this point.....
Dumbass,

Iran's regime is weak and is about to fall NOW that it's reign of terror facilities have been bombed.
Iran's regime is still supplying its proxies with cash and other types of support.
Ran's regime has been building and nurturing proxies for 47 years and unfortunately, the current bombing of its terror facilities, hasn't affected its network as much.
Where someone lives isn't the indication of their legitimacy.
Your claim of majority support is questionable because armed rebels are rebels because they have guns and not majority support.

I just proved you are a mouth piece of the Islamic Terrorists of Iran promoting the garbage they put out through their media censorship organisation and right away you come back with more trash from your beloved dictators.

Why don't you take a breath and extract the lice from the folds of your rotten brain for a change?

Here is some factual info about Yemen that you call A1 but I know information to you is like the cross to a vampire such as yourself.
So burn vampire, burn.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no precise, independent polling data that indicates a specific percentage of the Yemeni population that supports the Houthi armed rebellion (Ansar Allah). However, the Houthis currently govern over areas containing between 70% and 80% of the Yemeni population.

While they control the majority of the population centers in the north, including the capital Sana'a, support is complex and not uniformly enthusiastic. The following factors define the level of support:
De Facto Control vs. Popular Support: The Houthis maintain a "robust military presence" and rule through a mix of military force, surveillance, and bureaucratic control. While some support them, others tolerate them due to lack of an alternative or fear of retribution.
Geographical Divide: The Houthis control northern Yemen, while the southern part is held by the internationally recognized government (Presidential Leadership Council) and the Southern Transitional Council (STC).
Wartime Mobilization: The Houthis have managed to rally support through nationalism, particularly by framing their fight as against external, foreign-backed interference.
Regional Support: The Zaydi population, from which the movement hails, is a minority within Yemen (estimated at 25%–35%), but they are not uniformly pro-Houthi.

As of early 2026, the Houthis remain engaged in a "frozen" conflict, having successfully thwarted the Saudi-led coalition's efforts to oust them over seven years of war, leading to a "triumphant mindset" within their movement, but they face immense challenges due to a catastrophic humanitarian crisis.

This is where Riz gets his info from and regurgitates it here on FF which is an American owned website. You'd think FF respects their own government's sanctions but noooo.
------------------

Press TV, the English-language news network of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), is
subject to multiple international sanctions and restrictions due to its role in broadcasting forced confessions and promoting state propaganda.

Key details regarding sanctions and status include:

Sanctions: Press TV is sanctioned by the United States (since 2013), Canada, the European Union, and Australia for human rights violations, including airing coerced confessions of detainees.

Foreign Agent Registration: In November 2025, Australia formally registered Press TV as a foreign agent under its Foreign Influence Transparency Scheme (FITS), requiring it to report on its activities.

License Revocation: In 2012, the UK regulator Ofcom revoked Press TV's license for violating broadcasting codes, including the airing of a forced interview with an imprisoned journalist.

Website Seizures: The US Department of Justice seized the presstv.com domain in 2021, accusing it of being part of an Iranian disinformation network.

Content and Bias: Critics, including NGOs, describe Press TV as a propaganda arm of the Iranian regime that promotes anti-Western narratives, antisemitic conspiracy theories, and Holocaust denial.

While Press TV describes itself as a "voice of the voiceless" and "independent" media challenging Western narratives, it is widely regarded by international observers as a key part of the Iranian state’s influence network.

The only garbage I can talk about is you and your dictators that broadcast confessions of tortured prisoners and call it news.
You have no credibility along with no conscience and that is an understatement.

{quote} If it’s weak, and it’s about to fall NOW, why not send Ground Troops to finish them off and cause regime change, when the US sent Troops to Iraq and Afghanistan already. US Troops would be absolutely demolished, the US isn’t taking over Iran.
It is weak as far as their international reach and firepower goes but they still have a million heavily armed thugs from IRGC on payroll. They didn't hesitate to kill tens of thousands of their own people, so they will use them as shields against the US troops.
It's not about US taking over Iran. It's about US helping Iranians take their own country back from the Ayatollah occupiers of Iran.
You tell me, if they are strong or have ever been strong during the past 47 years, why don't they man up and call a free election where everyone can vote for their candidate of choice instead of only for the candidates that the Ayatollahs approve of running?

- while you are inside an echo-chamber that have proven time and time again to be nothing more but a poor disinformation campaign

No matter who will govern Yemen, they will come from a minority sect, this includes the whole region, we are multi-cultural and multi-religious societies - what is important for people is that they are governed by basic principles - mobilize and fight against our enemies: big and small satan - millions of Yemenis have never been more proud of their country due to the Houthis governance, even western media admits it!

Bring another wall of garbage AI text please, its over 5 minutes since you vomited.

Iran doesn’t trust Trump’s mouth, not a man of his word. They are going with ground facts collaborated by sat images.
US long term strategy of balkanizing Iran and having them fight each other for eternity while taking control of natural resources is also butt naked exposed.
US has sweet words and handshake in front and the arm held back has a knife to stab; issue is everyone is aware of the knife.

and yes its the Iran terror regime (and its proxies Hamas Hezbollah that are trying to destroy any peace in the region that's their main goal and to butcher thousands of their citizens if they dare protests against them
they are losing big time as Israel is in peace with most its neighbors Egypt, Jordan, PA ,UAE, Bahrein morocco, and many more and since the oct 7 Hamas brutel attack, they crushed and degraded most of Iran proxies Hamas Hezbollah hutias

in they last few weeks after Iran attacked its arab neighbors the Iran terror regime won the title of the most hated regime in the region

Trump only gave a warning Iran to surrender because Iran would lose part of its territory and the Strait of Hormuz if the war continued. Land, air and sea war will occur on a full scale.

He's been hanging around israeli so much he's now lying like one. Up is down, left is right,,,it's a serious issue when none of your partners can take any of the things you're saying at face value.
Pathological lying that Trump started doing is like an addictive drug. It feels great at the very start when you con all they goys with your schemes into doing things contrary to their interest, in favor of your own. But then, as time goes on, the high never feels the same and you have to lie more and more in order to achieve the same result.

Trump is that loser addict, but with nuclear football in his lap.
