War is Coming!

If a president or someone impersonating a president ever needed to "wag the dog" it's orange shitler.

The US is poised to attack someone and that someone is likely Iran (because thats what Netanyahu) wants us to do.

Per Malcom Nance, the consequences of an attack like this would be devastating for oil prices around the world and would set the middle east on fire.

Don't think it will happen?

Republican voters didn't think he would take their jobs but he did

Investors didn't think he would be stupid enough to put tariffs on the whole world but he did.

No one thought he would turn allies into enemies but he did.

This is what you get when you let children play with matches.

Buckle up everyone. Hopefully we can make it through this and meet on the other side.

Impoverish people, make them desperate and then start a war. Great plan (not)

That's late for my bank. I called them this morning & they told me their processing center was having a hard time processing Social Security payments but got them to go through. What that means? I don't know.

...seek to disrupt oil shipments out of the Gulf, possibly also attack terminals in neighboring countries, as it couldn't directly attack many US assets. While they were pretty hard hit in that Israeli raid a few months ago, they could cause enough havoc to seriously impact oil markets. And given other broader market dings self inflicted by Trump with tariffs, aid cuts and layoffs, could push the US into a recession.

All that said, like the most recent attacks in Yemen, perhaps some offensive capabilities are destroyed but the base problems, players and control on the ground doesn't change. So the cycle of risk and violence just goes on maybe subdued for now but it will all boil back up and probably worse that the last go around if history is any indicator. Remember when the "Palestinian problem" was just kids burning tires and throwing rocks and bottles?
