While global stocks have largely sustained the relief rally that followed Monday’s wild swings, fear is again resurfacing as Iran vowed to step up its missile strikes.
President Donald Trump’s assurance that the war with Iran was “very complete” and could be “over soon” initially injected optimism into markets, even as Iranian hardliners rallied behind new Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei and said their blockade of oil would continue.
Within hours of Trump’s statements, Iran’s military dashed markets’ hopes. “We are the ones who will determine the end of the war,” Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said.
Such comments brought the exchange back to a familiar tempo with Trump then threatening to hit Iran “TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far.”
It’s pathetically stupid also to conflate a government with its powerless citizens.
Up to a point, after decades of the same, it looks like this is America. Citizens are not powerless, you’ve been made to believe that by the oligarchs, general strikes should be the norm by now if such a majority of you are against this but instead we have Lindsey Graham bleating on about how much money America will make. The fact that Israel has universal healthcare and you guys don’t because “socialism” is very telling considering you’re the ones paying for it. I’m sorry but America on the world stage is ALL of you.
There isn’t a discussion here. You’re a bigot and I’ve told you that. This is just you trying to justify it, but that cannot happen
And you are an enabler. Thanks to your inability over decades to stop wars decided by a terrorist apartheid state, you have once again allowed the middle east to burn.
Are you gonna tell us how many wars you have stopped now?
They’d be happy to illustrate what a bigoted piece of shit they are. Not your thing though.
If his comment wasnt deleted, which said roughly, “I’m not rich or compromised enough for the board of peace”, I was going to say that I never received my invitation, must’ve gotten lost in the mail.
Unfortunately I’m not rich or corrupt enough to be on your American board of peace, so none.

America has a hegemony on violence, and YOUR president has set up a wonderful board of peace which includes all the dictators and despots, unfortunately I do not have the cash to join. Maybe talk to the newly appointed to the Air Force Academy Erika Kirk, who doubtless has a lot of experience in military matters. I’m curious as to what it would take for you to change the shit show that is America today.
