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.”


Yeah, they’re just a prick who can’t understand that people are trapped here. They cannot understand that the billionaire class intentionally trapped the lower (and much of the middle) class, and think that everyone here is perfectly content with what’s happening. So much for class solidarity, funny that they call themselves a leftist.
They’d rather see the lower class either get murdered one by one in the streets (because unless there’s millions of us at once, that’s what will happen). They haven’t thought very far ahead, and for some reason they think that if the government cracks down on us that it’ll cause the collapse of the US. I don’t think that’s true, and in fact, I think it would only give the feds a tighter grip and allow them to fight additional illegal wars.
It’s interesting to see them be happy that their supposed fellow leftists are losing their right to vote. Not just happy, in fact… they want left leaning voters to fear voting. Just like Trump and the GOP. Funny how that works.
