Anti-War Movement

Why Is There No Anti-War Movement in the US? 

I'd add

  • As long as their kids aren't being drafted and killed, and images of dead, burnt bodies aren't being blasted on their screens, Americans just don't know or care about shit on the other side of the world. 
  • Most are too busy working to pay bills to get involved. 

 

Trump Says ...

Trump's BS reminds me of Hitler near the end, sending orders to armies that didn't exist. 

'Straits in great shape,' says Trump...as ships burn in Gulf and war triggers biggest oil supply shock ever

“The Straits are in great shape. We’ve knocked out all of their boats. They have some missiles, but not very many. I think we’re in very good shape,” he said on Wednesday night.

Iran

Someone is working for regime change in Iran.

Israeli media has had several reports like this. 

Preparing for regime collapse, Reza Pahlavi urges Iranians to prepare for his ‘final call’

Pahlavi, working alongside allied experts, has also developed a detailed “Emergency Phase” plan for governing Iran in the immediate aftermath of the Islamic Republic’s fall. 

More on  Reza Pahlavi

I'd guess the Iranian people can't wait to get this guy in power after they threw out his corrupt dad nearly 50 years ago. 

He hasn't even been in Iran since the late 1970s. 

 

Epstein

Because someone has to be in charge. 

Jeffrey Epstein had two key aides - why do they still control his money and secrets?

Trump BS - Inflation

It's in the pipeline. Consumers should start seeing it soon.

I remember when Trump said we'd have better, cheaper healthcare and electricity would be down by 50%.

Also tariffs ...

War and the Economy

I have to agree. Trump and his minions having three more years in office are more of a risk to the world economy than a mostly air war that pasts a few weeks. Though we will see. Still a lot of unknowns..

Iran War Risks  

The main global economic risk associated with the renewed war against Iran is an energy price spike. (Regional problems are very easy to see.) I discussed energy price spikes in Section 5.4 of Interest Rate Cycles: An Introduction. A very short-term spike would not matter that much, rather the risks are of an extended period of a reduction in energy exports from the region. Once again, political risks emanating from an erratic American executive overwhelms traditional econometric business cycle analysis.
