@MrTinvests Nice levels and I agree.

[El-Capi-Tahn @El_Capi_Tahn]

@MollyJongFast No it isn’t and no they won’t. You sound scared, Majong.

[El-Capi-Tahn @El_Capi_Tahn]

@market_sleuth Yep.

Election integrity is not a partisan issue, it is an AMERICAN ISSUE.

Let us unite and pass the SAVE America Act and ensure every American's right to vote in a free and fair election is protected.

@traderhc Monday is looking like it has potential for a bounce but 730 by Friday is likely.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

🚨 The U.S. Election System is Broken.

Here’s what the disclosures reveal:

- Hundreds of millions of American voter files in the hands of foreign govs
- Voting machines & ballot-counting systems exposed to hacking & manipulation
- China & other adversaries actively trying to meddle in elections
- Evidence of fraud being buried
- Hundreds of thousands of non-citizens & dead people still active on voter rolls
- No Voter ID, no Proof of Citizenship required
- Tens of millions of mail-in ballots floating unsecured

Enough is enough.

@Jake__Wujastyk Let’s wait for confirmation.

@CBSNews And that’s why he was voted out last cycle.

[El-Capi-Tahn @El_Capi_Tahn]

@CBSNews That piece of shit is CORRUPT AF!!! He should be in jail

@BuzzPatterson Not exactly earth shattering. Every one of our combat missions were 18-22 hours each with 3-4 aerial refuel tanker visits in between. Two pilots, one navigator, an engineer and one bunk.

[El-Capi-Tahn @El_Capi_Tahn]

@thecoastguy Damn.. sorry guys.

[El-Capi-Tahn @El_Capi_Tahn]

@HormuzLetter Yeah, that’s not true nor will it ever happen.

[El-Capi-Tahn @El_Capi_Tahn]

@StockSavvyShay And he BANKED

Trump’s Pipeline Wars: How Iran’s Gambit Exposed China

War is the continuation of politics by other means and Trump has moved that logic from the battlefield to the barrel.

The pipeline wars are his answer to Iran’s closure of Hormuz: a counter‑offensive that punishes Tehran, exposes China, and pulls Iraq, Syria, and Venezuela toward the American orbit as emerging allies.
Iran’s gambit was revolutionary bravado: slam shut the strait, choke off a third of seaborne oil, and dare America to blink. Iraq’s exports, long 90‑plus percent dependent on Hormuz—collapsed, and Baghdad discovered it was less an energy state than a client of a narrow waterway patrolled by a hostile regime and an American carrier group.

The Strait has been war‑gamed for decades. Trump tried diplomacy first. Now the world is watching what hard power looks like when the simulations go live.

His answer is to treat Hormuz as a flaw, not fate. Epic Fury broke Iran’s ability to escalate; the strategic move is what follows—build around Iran. Push Iraqi barrels toward Turkey’s Ceyhan.

Revive Mediterranean outlets. Bring back the Kirkuk–Baniyas concept: an old 1950s line from Kirkuk to Syria’s port of Baniyas, shuttered by war and neglect, now reborn as a 300,000–700,000 barrel‑per‑day artery with U.S. backing, American firms doing the studies, and sanctions eased just enough to lay steel. Iraq gets cheaper exports and diversification away from both Hormuz and Ceyhan. A post‑Assad Syria stops being a crater and starts being a corridor, earning hundreds of millions in transit fees, plus jobs and infrastructure. In practice, Syria and Iraq are being bound into an American‑centric energy system, precisely how fragile states become durable allies.

The deeper casualty is China. Beijing built its industrial machine on discounted barrels from Iran and Venezuela, moved by shadow fleets through long, vulnerable sea lanes. That is not diversification; it is dependency. Churchill warned that “safety and certainty in oil lie in variety of supply.” China concentrated risk in sanctioned regimes and contested waters, then called it strategy.

Venezuela shows the Trump doctrine at work. For years, Caracas was a major producer, enabler of state‑sponsored terrorism, and a willing ally of China.

The takedown of Nicolás Maduro was a seismic event largely ignored in polite foreign‑policy circles: a hostile petro‑regime toppled without occupation, then flipped into a grudging supplier to U.S. refiners. Oil long routed to China now flows to America, strengthening U.S. energy security and starving Beijing of friendly heavy crude.

This is Hegel’s dialectic in hard assets. Iran’s closure of Hormuz is the thesis. Trump’s strikes, pipelines, and Venezuela turn are the antithesis. The pipeline wars are the synthesis: chokepoints contested, transit states turned into allies, hostile producers pulled into an American system.

In 2026, the map matters again and Trump is redrawing it so America sits on the pipes while Iran and China sit on exposure.

@DrJStrategy Great post 👊

@FirstSquawk Higher minimum wages factor in this too.
