بچه ها من واقعا از مهاجرت کردن میترسم. یعنی با تمام وجودم میترسم. میدونم کار درستیه. میدونم که باید انجامش بدم.
اما ته دلم ازش میترسم.
از اینکه تنها زندگی کنم،
به یک زبان غریبه حرف بزنم و درس بخونم،
تمام خانواده و دوستامو پشت سرم بذارم و برم،
میترسم. شماها نمیترسین؟!
توجه کنید این ژورنال معتبر حقوق بینالملل اروپاست؛ پرفسور الکساندر لات استاد حقوق بینالملل نروژی، در این ژورنال توضیح میدهد چرا حمله به کشتیهای تجاری توسط ایران هنگام عبور از تنگه هرمز، طبق مفاد کنوانسیونهای حقوق بینالملل، قانونی و مشروع است ــ او در این مقاله نشان میدهد چرا ایران میتواند تنگه هرمز را بطور کامل مسدود کند؛ چرا ایران میتواند کشتیهای تجاری اسکورت شده توسط آمریکا را هدف قرار دهد؛ و چرا ایران میتواند خط ساحلی کشورهای خلیج را محاصره کند.
حتما بخوانید. حیف است نخوانده، ناکام و بیخبر و سرگشته از دنیا برویم.

There should not be any debt imposed on Iran. Iranian people should not bear the cost of a war that was imposed on them by Trump and Israel and enabled by Arabs.
Iran should keep pounding the Arab states to smithereens and turn them into pulp for allowing their territories to be used against Iran until they reimburse Iran until the last penny.
Iran should tell Trump they will give up fees on passage through the Strait of Hormuz the same day US Congress cancels fees on immigration processing.
It should also tell him they will allow every ship to pass through the Strait the same day US Congress declares open borders and no inspections of any kind.
خب حالا که بحث کانادا کمکم داره میخوابه منم یچیز کوچیک بگم و برم:
مهاجرت کار بزرگ و سختیه ولی بعضیا مهاجرت تبدیل میشه به بزرگترین دستاورد زندگیشون، تبدیل میشه به هویتشون!یعنی توی ذهنش خودش رو مثلاً ممد «از کانادا» میدونه و اگه کانادا رو حذف کنی از ممد چیزی نمیمونه!و دقیقاً/
بزرگترین وارزشمندترین چیزی که کانادا به من داد این بود که فهمیدم،درایران بهترین سیستم بهداشتی، قانون بازنشستگی و کارمندی، بیمه ی حمایت از زنان، تحصیلات عالیه رایگان و فرهنگ ارزشمندو والایی داریم که در کانادا نمیتوانی نمونه اش را پیدا کنی.کانادا بمن فهماند که چقدر به وطنم مدیونم.
تصور کنید که ایرانیان همراه اسراییل و آمریکا نمی شدند،در پایتختهای جهان برای حمله نظامی التماس نمیکردند و در یک اتحاد واقعی علیه جنگ و دخالت نظامی به خیابانها می آمدند، شاید اساسا حملهای رخ نمی داد و بسیاری کشته نمی شدند یا دست کم انعکاس جنایات علیه مردم ایران اینهمه کم نبود
Met my first Iranian Ziomonarchist. Tried to engage. Man refused to recognize that there was any disagreement among Iranians whatsoever: they all want to get rid of the regime. Would’ve been more interesting if his iq were higher. 🤣
Iran’s fundamental mistake is that it believes this war is not existential for the US.
This war is existential for the so called American pact aka Pax Americana. The pact in which the US provided investments, military protection, and a very sophisticated financial infrastructure. In return, the other participants focused on what they could do best. The division of labor, and comparative advantage: China: high quality labor, GCC Arabs: cheap and reliable energy, etc.
As part of the pact, any excess capital from these participants would get invested in US financial markets, primarily in the form US treasuries, but also venture capital (eg Saudi money in Softbank), and other instruments.
This did two things:
1-Lower the cost of capital in the US. This meant lower interest rates, higher stock market, more money available for startups, lower housing costs, and many other things.
2-The invested capital served as a hostage, a guarantee of good behavior by those in the system, which supplied some level of stability to the pact. The US could theoretically seize or freeze the assets of any misbehaving participants.
Parts of this pact have already been going away. China is not a US satellite state or even a partner. It is a competitor, building its own pact in the form of Belt and Road Initiative. It is also reducing its exposure to US treasuries and increasing its gold reserves.
If the US loses its dominance over the Persian gulf, another part of this pact will break. The GCC Arab states have lost their protection, while still having a hostage in the US. That’s an incentive to reduce their exposure and diversify their assets out of the US.
It will also send a signal to everyone else in US orbit that the military protection is not available anymore.
As these orbit states reduce their exposure to US assets, the cost of capital in the US will rise: higher interest rates, lower stock market, higher home financing costs, fewer startups, etc.
Furthermore, the US has $31T public debt, with average maturity of 5.9 years. As the interest rates rise, the cost of rolling over this debt is going to rise.
Last but not least, there’s about $1.6T in additional debt that gets added every year, which will be paying higher interest.
As the debt/GDP ratio rises, the feedback loop kicks in: the US has to pay a higher interest rate to keep the same investor.
This is why the loss of the Persian Gulf is so significant for the US.
I might write a later post about the effect of rates on debt financing.
