@khaled14all @chess_feed What happens with a step 2 c8 instead?

White to move, mate in 2!

🇺🇸 | How the Trump family turned the last presidency into their personal ATM. Five minutes before Trump announced a halt to attacks on Iran, someone in his circle bought $1.5 billion in stocks and sold $192 million in oil. Five minutes. Not hours. Not days. Five minutes. They knew what the President would say before he even said it - and made a fortune. And they don’t even have to hide anymore. Today, they answer to no one.

This is the Iranian leader it has been claimed the US was negotiating with - No need for further comments on today’s circus Translation from @grok 👇🏻 “Our people demand the complete and humiliating punishment of the aggressors. All officials stand firmly behind their Leader and people until this goal is achieved. No negotiations with America have taken place. Fake news is intended to manipulate financial and oil markets and to escape the quagmire in which America and Israel are trapped.”

Is there anyone else out there who still has any doubt about the $USOIL futures price being heavily manipulated at the moment? Just asking for a friend.

BREAKING 🚨: This is VERY BRUTAL 🔥⚡ 7.00 AM : 🇺🇸 TRUMP: I am pleased to announce a ceasefire following very good discussions with Iran. 7.01 AM : 🇮🇷 IRAN: There were no discussions with Trump, he is lier and backed down out of fear of retaliation.🔥🔥 ABSOLUTE CINEMA 🔥😭

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Senator Chris Murphy says President Trump has "lost control" of the war with Iran and is "panicking."

@StealthQE4 @grok verify

CNN coverage of Israel getting slammed. Crazy.

72,000 killed in the genocide in Gaza. 1 million+ displaced in Lebanon. 1,700 settler attacks in the West Bank. And now war in Iran. Sending 20,000+ more bombs to Netanyahu isn’t just immoral—it’s illegal. That’s why I introduced legislation to stop it.

@RealMonkeyCat looks like a fake post

So let me get this straight: Iran blocking the Strait of Hormuz is ,unfair’ but blocking oil shipments to Cuba in order to collapse their whole country is what? Fair?

@RealJGBanks Due to hyperinflation :)

🚨🚨SEC ENFORCEMENT CHIEF ABRUPTLY RESIGNS 🙈🙉🙊 Margaret A. Ryan abruptly resigns just 6 months after she started 🤔 One of two things could have happened. She saw how corrupt the SEC was and didn't want any part of it. Or she realized she didn't have anything to do as SEC doesn't ENFORCE RULES. Either way could you please take Paul Atkins, Hester Peirce and the other compromised minions with you.

Your bank has zero dollars of your money in reserve. Not a percentage. Zero. The Federal Reserve reduced the reserve requirement to 0% in March 2020 and never raised it back. JPMorgan lends out your deposits at 7%. Pays you 0.01%. That spread made them $89 billion last year. You took 100% of the risk. They took 100% of the profit. The number that should terrify you. The FDIC insurance fund has $153.9 billion to cover over $10 trillion in insured deposits. That's a reserve ratio of 1.42%. If just one of the four largest banks failed, the insurance fund would be wiped out 15 times over. "That can't happen." Silicon Valley Bank collapsed in 36 hours. First Republic followed. Signature Bank after that. Three banks. $548 billion in combined assets. Gone in 60 days. The FDIC spent $22 billion on SVB alone. 14% of the entire fund on one mid-sized bank. Most people stop reading here and miss the money. The exact same asymmetry that puts your deposits at risk makes bank stocks obscenely profitable. JPM trades at 12x earnings and generates a 17% return on equity by borrowing your money at 0.01% and lending it at 7%. That's an 800x spread. Bank of America (BAC), Wells Fargo (WFC), and Goldman Sachs (GS) all run the same model. Understanding the scam IS the investment thesis. For your own deposits: Treasury Direct lets you buy T-bills at 4-5% directly from the US government. Zero bank counterparty risk. SPAXX and VMFXX money market funds pay 4-5% with next-day liquidity. Every $100k sitting in a big-bank savings account at 0.01% is costing you $4,990 per year versus available alternatives. That's not an opinion. That's math. If you believe the next SVB is coming, the real play is physical gold and silver outside the banking system. Zero counterparty risk. No promise. No custodian. Just metal. During every banking crisis in the last 100 years, gold outperformed deposits by 50-200%. Open tradevision and set up alerts for interbank lending stress indicators, bank deposit flow data, and FDIC reserve ratio changes. When SVB collapsed, the deposit outflows were visible in real-time data 72 hours before the FDIC seized the bank. The people watching the data pulled their deposits Monday. The people watching CNBC found out Friday. That gap is the difference between protecting your money and losing it. Free to set up. (your bank pays you $10 per year to hold your $100k. they lend it out and earn $7k. they charge you $144 in maintenance fees. you paid them to use your money. the insurance fund designed to protect you has 1.4 cents for every dollar. the backup plan is printing money. which devalues the money it's supposed to protect.)

President Trump says the US in conjunction with "many countries" is sending war ships to the Strait of Hormuz to keep it "open and safe." Trump also calls on China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and others to send war ships to Hormuz. Oh. Oh this is beautiful. This is the geopolitical equivalent of the guy who starts a bar fight, gets his head put through the pool table, and then looks up at the bouncer with blood pouring out of his nose going "Are you gonna DO something about these guys?!" Let me get this straight. You bombed Iran. YOU started this. You launched Operation Epic Fury like a kid naming his Nerf gun. You flattened their cities, cratered their infrastructure, killed God knows how many civilians, and now that they've done the ONE thing that every single analyst on Earth said they would do... close the Strait of Hormuz... you're asking CHINA for help? CHINA. The country you've spent three years tariffing into oblivion. The country you called an enemy of civilisation. You want THEM to send warships to protect YOUR oil supply chain? In what universe does Xi Jinping take that phone call and not just put it on speaker so the whole room can laugh? And here's the bit that should be printed on a plaque and hung in the Smithsonian under the heading "Weapons Grade Cognitive Dissonance Dipshit." Direct quote from the man himself: "We have already destroyed 100% of Iran's Military capability." Next sentence. LITERALLY the next sentence: "But it's easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway." I'M SORRY, WHAT? You destroyed ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of their military capability and they can STILL mine one of the most important shipping lanes on the planet? What kind of shit maths is that? That's not 100%, mate. That's not even close to 100%. If you hired a pest exterminator and he said "I've eliminated 100% of the termites, but they can still eat your house," you'd want your money back. He calls the Strait closure an "artificial constraint." ARTIFICIAL. Brother, there is nothing artificial about it. You dropped bombs on a sovereign nation and they blocked a chokepoint that carries 20% of the world's oil. That's not artificial. That's called CONSEQUENCES. That's cause and effect. That's the thing that happens AFTER the thing you did. Toddlers understand this concept. You touch the stove, you get burned. You bomb Iran, they close Hormuz. This is not complicated. And the absolute cheek of calling Iran "a Nation that has been totally decapitated" while simultaneously admitting they're holding the entire global energy market hostage with speedboats and sea mines. Pick a lane, Donald. Either they're decapitated or they're not. You don't get to claim total victory AND beg France for naval escorts in the same paragraph. Speaking of France. And Japan. And South Korea. And the UK. Notice who's NOT on that list? Australia. Not even worth asking apparently. Which, honestly, fair enough, because we've got about four days of fuel reserves and a navy that couldn't project force to Bondi Beach, but it does sort of highlight how far down the pecking order we've fallen while our politicians were busy kissing the ring at Mar-a-Lago. But here's the real headline buried under all the tough-guy cosplay. He's LOSING. This post is what losing looks like when you're a narcissist who can't say the word. He can't reopen the Strait alone. The US Navy, for all its power, cannot clear mines and fight asymmetric warfare across a narrow waterway while simultaneously bombing the shoreline AND keeping tanker traffic flowing. It's a logistical nightmare and he knows it. That's why he's begging. That's why a man who has never asked anyone for anything in his life is out here publicly requesting that other nations come bail him out. And they won't. Because why would they? China's already getting its oil overland from Russia. France has no skin in this game. Japan and South Korea are furious about tariffs. And the UK is trying to figure out how to diplomatically distance itself from a war it never supported without losing its trade deal. He's alone. He did this to himself. And the only people who'll pay the price are the rest of us, watching fuel prices rip through the roof while this spray-tanned catastrophe stands at the podium claiming everything is going exactly to plan. One way or the other, he says. OPEN, SAFE, and FREE, he says. Mate, the only thing that's open is the hole you've dug yourself into. And it's getting deeper by the hour.
