Yeah, how dare they respond? Don’t they know they’re the pariah’s? The strike was in reaction to Hezbollah killing of four Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon, said Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister…but that’s neither here nor there. Donald Trump ordered Israel to agree to a...

“The measures - which still await a vote of approval by the National Assembly - ‌would ⁠open the door to private real estate development😉(like golf courses owned by a U.S. President?) on the Caribbean island, transform ⁠state-owned businesses into private commercial ventures with shares and...

Happy Saturday. Markets are closed for the weekend, & Iran's top joint military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central ‌Headquarters, said on Saturday that the Strait of Hormuz would be closed to vessel ⁠traffic, citing alleged violations of a ceasefire agreement by the U.S. and Israel, Iran's Mehr...

Thankfully, they were both travelling in the same direction as opposed to opposing directions. Damn…

Somewhere between railing against OPEC in the 1980s, applauding Brexit in 2016 and winning the presidency in 2024, Trump started blurring the difference between a right-wing politics that insists on putting national identity above international institutions, and a purely American variant that...

Did I ever say it didn’t? Trump folded. Iran wrote the MOU…that’s obvious. I quote Trumps posturing this as a win as blatant Iranically frustrating irony, and just wonder if his next target is going to be Cuba or Canada?

President Donald Trump on Friday got a look at his upgraded Boeing 747, a plane gifted by Qatar, at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland as the aircraft neared delivery ‌to join the Air Force One fleet. Retrofitting the luxury plane required security upgrades, communications improvements ⁠to prevent...

At the time of its signing of the North American trilateral trade agreement during his first term, Trump called it the best trade agreement ever. The regional trade accord has seen the economic fortunes of all three nations rise exponentially. Moreover, at a time when inflation continues to...

I asked Google AI. The $300 billion is not U.S. taxpayer money. According to the preliminary memorandum of understanding (MoU) to end the U.S.-Iran war, the funds are intended to be a private and international reconstruction and investment vehicle? Here is where the money is “supposed” to come...

A drop in gold doesn’t automatically mean the value of the USD goes up. Gold is dropping, which means gold is worth less than it was. President Trump insisted there are “no limits” to his power when asked in a new interview about his takeaways from the Iran war. The president was pressed by...

Centred around 14 points, the deal includes reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a requirement that Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, a $300bn (£224bn) plan for Iran's "reconstruction", and the US terminating "all types of sanctions" on Iran. It also binds both sides to achieving a final deal...

Ugh… Yes… OK. This is my question. Guess I wasn’t clear. How did Trump save the USD? Anyway, the agreement, a memorandum of understanding that Trump signed Wednesday, places no limits on Tehran’s stockpile of the weapons that it used to menace international shipping, nor on the powerful...

That’s the outcome that at this point seems apparent but let’s see what the next sixty days bring, or the next 138 days, or the next couple of years, etc…for when Iran and America settle their major differences, or not. Trump will seek praise and FIFA awards for walking away from the war he...

After the last couple of months, do you think Iran is gonna trade their oil for USD to China for example? Will Saudi Arabia (who’s signed a defence pact with Pakistan) continue to trade their oil exclusively in USD now in exchange for US Bases/Protection like they’ve had arranged for the last...

There’s not a lot a whole lot of concrete anything because they’re not saying the same thing on both sides. Then there’s some weasel-wiggling like the different versions coming out about opening the Strait of Hormuz for example. (Trump says that it’s opening without tolls, & Iran says it’s...

“It’s like hosting Thanksgiving dinner with some awkward relatives and a few awkward moments,” said Max Bergmann, director of the Europe, Russia and Eurasia program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “There’s a different definition of success. Getting the president and...

Canada paid for the entire Gordie Howe International bridge, used plenty of U.S. steel and labour to build it, and intends to split ownership with the state of Michigan. The Gordie, as locals call it, took six years to break ground, another six to construct, plus more than a year to inspect, and...
