Here We Go Again
Like, seriously, here we go again. It is like déjà vu all over again and again and again. Iran announced late last week that the Strait of Hormuz would be open and stay open. The stock market jumped by 1000 points and the price of oil went down by 10% and all was good in…

With A Friend Like This
Donald, do you remember the good times, when leaders and countries would fall over themselves complimenting you, praising you, trying to get into your good graces? I guess those days are done aren’t they Donald? You did this to yourself. NATO is just shunning you on this whole Iran thing. You started this without consulting…

Boxed In
Iran has been around in its various forms for 2800 years. The US has only been around about 400 years. Iran has been playing this game a whole lot longer and it is showing. Just a week ago, on Easter Sunday, Trump demanded that Iran open ‘the fuckin strait’ or the Iranian civilization would be…

Let’s Make A Deal
Negotiators from the US, led by JD Vance, and Iran, were to meet in Pakistan on Saturday. As I chirp this, while it is still early Saturday morning, where I am it is late Saturday afternoon in Pakistan. The negotiators are just starting to meet now. Both sides, earlier in the day met with the…

Oil Be Back
During one of Donald Trump‘s election campaigns, Trump said that we would be winning so much that his supporters would be begging him to not win so much. He has said that he has won the war with Iran. Frankly, we have won this war. He then threatened to destroy the Iranian civilization before backing…

Cease What?
A couple of hours before the 8 PM deadline, it was announced that a two week ceasefire had been agreed to between Iran and the US. That is good news, no matter how you put it. The price of oil has plummeted down and the Dow Jones rose over 1000 in response to this announcement.…

Just Wow
This is not a parody. The supposed leader of the free world posted this on his true social account. Donald, you are completely deranged. This is on you and all your yes people in your administration and in Congress. If you go through with this insanity, you will be remembered right up there with Stalin…

New Deadline
Donald Trump, on late Friday/early Saturday, told Iran that if the Strait was not opened in 48 hours he would start bombing power plants in Iran. That would’ve set a deadline of Monday morning. On Sunday, it became apparent that this deadline was pushed back to 8 PM eastern time Tuesday night. The deadline was…

Lost It
When I first saw this on social media, I thought it was a parody, a joke post. Sadly, it is not. The supposed leader of the free world posted this on his truth social. Trump is backed into a corner. This time he has to make good on his threat. He knows that the Dow…

Seemed Like A Good Idea
Five weeks ago today, the US and Israel launched a coordinated attack on Iran. The strike resulted in the death of the supreme leader, and 48 other top Iranian officials. It was an attempt to decapitate Iranian leadership and it seems like a good idea at the time. I myself admit to the fact that…
