Yesterday's events, and the strikes still happening right now, even after a "ceasefire" (if we can even call it that), really paint a clear picture of what this is shaping up to be.
This reads like Trump deliberately leaving GCC partners exposed in the short term to convince them to support us in the long term.
The message?
"We'll leave you high and dry if we want to."
@aj_geo_analysis It is all just a leverage play for the next act. S&P all time highs are usually followed by a blow off...media will need a reason to blame the dip on! Continuation of conflict would be a good reason...
WE ARE LIVE!
Tonight we are discussing the possible end of the ceasefire, and how bonds and yields are proving that other countries are preparing for it to never return.

We have to remember that the history behind the US and Israel's attempts at the Iranian Nuclear Program include the deployment of the worlds first cyberweapon, Stuxnet, which had to be deployed by a spy on-site who infiltrated Natanz. Stuxnet was in development for years prior to its deployment.
Iran will never walk back on their nuclear progress.
@ItsTheEnforcer We have to remember the fact that the history behind the US and Israel's attempts at the Iranian Nuclear Program also include the deployment of the worlds first cyberweapon, which had to be deployed by a spy on-site.
Iran will never walk back on their nuclear progress.
- US media reports that a deal is "largely negotiated" (We've heard that before) depending on Israeli approval
- Iranian media reports that a deal is in the works, but large disagreements remain, and US media representation of the deal is "largely inaccurate."
- Israeli media reports that current framework of the deal is "unacceptable" and "horrible for Israel"
What do you think happens next?
I will no doubt be covering whatever happens on this Tuesday's livestream.

President Donald J. Trump has just posted an image to Truth Social of a map of the Middle East centered on Iran covered in the stars & stripes with the title "United States of the Middle East?" This follows the abrupt cancellation of his weekend trip to the Bahamas for the wedding of Don Jr. followed by a weekend at his property in Bedminster, NJ.
We aren't falling for this anymore. Iranian demands have never changed. The only thing that has is US headlines.
We reach a deal on Monday, and the deal falls through on Friday.
We are destroying the world economy until they all get angry enough to join in the fight with us.
We thought we could do it alone, and we can't. Now we need NATO.
