@GuntherEagleman @TeamTonero No, the USS George Bush is going to the Middle East to take place of the Gerald Ford…so the US is not adding more planes carriers, just replacing !

🚨2,000 US Marines + the USS Tripoli just rolled into the Arabian Sea as part of Operation Epic Fury! The USS George H.W. Bush is gearing up to surge in as well. Trump is putting MAXIMUM pressure on Iran while negotiations are underway.

@iamlouay Ce type est insupportable, je zappe lorsqu’il est sur le plateau de LCI. Je ne sais pas pourquoi il est invité, il n’apporte strictement rien au débat si ce n’est de faire fuir ceux qui assistent.

🔵⚪🔴 Sur LCI, l'épilogue de notre mini-série "Natacha vs Barchichat" approche à grands pas, et on attaque directement l'avant-dernier épisode. Cette fois, notre propagandiste attitré tente de nous faire gober que les bombardements sont une magnifique opération de libération du Liban. Natacha le foudroie immédiatement avec la réalité du terrain. Elle lui rappelle froidement le bilan des victimes civiles et la tragédie des 700 000 déplacés. Alors que Barchichat ose prétendre que c'est une demande du peuple libanais, Natacha siffle définitivement la fin de la récré ! #LCI #TRUMP #IRAN #MAGA #USA #ORMUZ #IRANWAR

@ururish @DrJStrategy Golden age ? Inflation up, job growth is negative (for a bunch of reasons), 30mio Americans have no access to healthcare, 70K die each year because of this, GDP growth is down, stagflation risks… and the Dow is not even at 50K anymore ! That’ s winning ?

@DrJStrategy Wow don't know if bots commentating or people really lost the plot. Trust trump , we are about to enter the golden age

For the record. The President is no neo-con; he’s a calculating strategist focused on results, not rhetoric. Once American objectives are secured, he’ll let the Middle East resolve itself on its own terms. His national security doctrine is blunt about the essentials, protect the oil chokepoints, keep the Strait of Hormuz open, and safeguard global supply lines. The outcome could be historic: a 50-year peace in energy markets and the long-overdue collapse of the oil terror premium. Yet Wall Street still clutches its pearls, fretting over daily price moves while ignoring a generational shift. Ignore the noise, take advantage of the volatility, and quell your emotions, a peace dividend is on its way.

@SantiagoAuFund The issue is not about having a plan or not (I’m sure there is and the advice might have been no to go…), the problem is the listening to the plan by the people in charge. Anyways, you apparently already won this war 50x over the last 4 weeks…what’s to worry ?

For those who think the U.S. does not have a plan with regards to Iran, pls answer this one question: If the U.S. has no plan, then why did Iran spend the last 40 years preparing to counter the U.S.'s plan...?

@JacobShap This, plus some in the US, because the country is a net exporter, think that, if oil goes to $200, Chevron will keep selling gasoline @ $3/gallon just because it wants to be nice to people and contribute to MAGA… Dream on !

The strategy is not obsolete, the US is exposed to the global economy, and Hormuz is critical to the global economy. Remarkable to me that I even have to say this.

@joshua_landis BTW, Switzerland is not much better. One Sunday afternoon, they decided that corporate law was worth shit and sold CS to UBS for a fraction of its true value, wiping out shareholders (Saudis had just put 1.5Bi), CoCo bonds holders and thousands lost their jobs

❝Switzerland ordered some Tomahawks years ago. Now the US said they can't deliver them. So Switzerland said then we won't pay. The US have now seized the funds we paid for the F-35s (which we probably won't get as well) instead.❞ "Trust in the USA is suffering" The development has been poorly received in parliament. "It's infuriating when we halt payments and then the money is simply diverted," srf.ch/news/schweiz/z… via @srfnews

@joshua_landis We did not buy Tomahawks, we bought Patriots…and when you are governed by amateurs and incompetents of all sorts, that should not come as a surprise

@rickfortson1 @joshua_landis Switzerland is not a NATO member, so nope, you are not protecting us. However, you have threatened us, bullied us, insulted us, etc…, that you did for sure, and as your dear President said, it will not be forgotten !

@joshua_landis The United States 🇺🇸 has protected Europe for decades and receives contempt from its citizens and so-called leaders. We’re finished! Protect yourselves!

@SeverusofPot01 @EricLDaugh @NATO NATO and Europe is the biggest client for your F35s. Who are u going to sell F35s to, if not Europe ? The Gulf that u promised to protect and is now bombed in a war they did not want in the first place ? EU paid 750mio for weapons that are now diverted to the Middle East…

@EricLDaugh Praise the Lord! @NATO has leeched off the US for decades! It is a farce! NATO is nothing without the USA and the World knows it! Sick of Left Wing EU clowns that have no power and no Military relying on NATO (which is the USA) and never once helping Trump! Well bye bye NATO!

🚨 HOLY CRAP. President Trump just said America no longer has to be there for NATO "We WOULD have always been there for them, but now, based on their actions? I guess we don't have to be, do we?!" "I think a tremendous mistake was when NATO just wasn't there. They just weren't there. It's going to make a lot of money for the United States, because we spent hundreds of billions of dollars a year on NATO, hundreds, protecting them." Trump NEVER FORGETS.

@FWNewsOfficial @EricLDaugh The planes that are deployed in the Middle East, they stopped first where ? In Germany, in England, in Turkey, etc… no bases everywhere, no US hegemon…for the little that still remains anyways

@EricLDaugh For many years, the United States has spent hundreds of billions of dollars annually defending nations that refuse to do anything for us. President Trump is saying "enough." We could save the American people trillions of dollars by withdrawing from a one-sided NATO commitment.

@EricLDaugh HOLY CRAP, we Europeans, don’t give a shit anymore ! We only ask that you please only mess up your own country and let the rest of the World live our lives peacefully and sleep safely at night without having to face, every 2 days, a crisis that you, yourselves, created.

@JamesWalston @biancoresearch Which are the objectives of this war for the US ? Nobody knows so far. Lack of objectives is excellent to declare victory whenever you want and say that the objectives were met !

@biancoresearch Lack of clarity in public statements is an excellent way to keep enemies off balance. Sorry it isn't fun for markets.

When Trump announced a delay to the bombing on Monday morning, crude oil futures immediately fell 10%. Compare this to the reaction to yesterday afternoon, when he extended the delay another 10 days (red box). It was short-lived, and now, about 12 hours later, prices are meaningfully higher. I believe the market signal is that the Strait must be opened, and the military must do it. The longer we delay starting this process, the higher crude oil prices will go. All Trump did yesterday was add 10 more days to the ongoing supply shock. Any further statements by Trump about a deal are white noise to the markets. Only if the IRANIANS say the talks are going well will it impact markets. Why isn't the crude oil market substantially higher ($150+), like many are asking? I would argue that the market believes the military can open the Strait. But it will be "messy." In other words, there are no good choices, only ones that are less bad.

@SirRitsky @biancoresearch Hegseth and Rubio both said this war had nothing to do with a regime change.

@biancoresearch Sorry the realignment of the entire world order is not adhering to your schedule. I’ll pay 5$ a gallon to end dictatorial regimes. How about you ?

@elaineakins449 @ricwe123 @Profa621730 Of course, nobody doubts that 😆😆. Perfectly normal to control/manage the proceeds of another country resources. “We don’t want the money to go to the hands of dictators”. However you kept the same regime in place…how did you help Venezuelans !

@ricwe123 @Profa621730 That statement is taken out of context. The Venezuelan people are happy with the benefits they are receiving. The US is managing the resources so the profits go to the people of Venezuela, not to the dictators and Cabal.

"How does taking out a dictator in Venezuela help the average American?" US Vice President JD Vance: "It means is we are going to be able to control the incredible natural resources of Venezuela which is good for America"

@JacobShap Actually, probably since it weaponized the USD by seizing Russia CB reserves.

The U.S. govt has been behaving like a thug since the whole TikTok thing and it’s getting worse

@AldoSterone111 On n'a jamais acheté de Tomahawks...ceci dit, lorsqu'on est gouverné par des amateurs et des incompétents, il ne faut pas être surpris des conséquences.

La Suisse a commandé des Tomahawks il y a des années. Les États-Unis affirment maintenant ne pas pouvoir les livrer. La Suisse refuse alors de payer. Les États-Unis ont donc saisi les fonds versés pour les F-35 qui ne seront jamais livrés non plus.

The head of Europe’s central bank just said financial markets don’t understand what they’re in for. This is Christine Lagarde saying the damage is already done. Most people have absolutely no idea. Here is what she actually said. Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz. That chokepoint carries 20% of the world’s oil and gas. Markets shrugged. Investors assumed it would blow over. Lagarde told The Economist that technical experts are not talking about months for recovery. They are talking about years. Helium travels through the Strait of Hormuz. Helium is not a balloon gas. It is the invisible ingredient inside every advanced microchip on earth. Qatar supplies 35% of the world’s commercial helium. Qatar’s facilities have gone dark. Spot prices have surged past $450 per thousand cubic feet. Most chip fabricators carry less than three months of inventory. The world is building AI data centers at record speed. The raw material that makes the chips possible is now scarce. Meanwhile Brent crude has hit $99. Earlier spikes passed $120. US gasoline is up 30%. Iraq cut 1.5 million barrels a day. Saudi Arabia paused its largest refinery. Europe is heading into this with gas storage at 30% capacity. And the ECB is not cutting rates to soften the blow. It is considering hiking them to fight inflation. Slow economy. Rising prices. Tighter money. All at once. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@nicolas_richoux C’est une violation des lois internationales, dont les USA n’ont rien à foutre et ne respectent pas ! C’est lui-même qui l’a dit il y a quelque mois !

Il paraît que les Iraniens n’ont pas encore compris qu’ils ont perdu…

Trump is "stealing" $750 million from NATO countries. This $750 million maneuver is further evidence of transatlantic friction under Trump: Europe pays, the US decides flexibly according to its own priorities. It's annoying, partly unfair to the contributing countries, and undermines credibility. But it's not an "expropriation" of already delivered weapons, but rather a shift in distribution priorities. Europe should learn from this: The right response is to build strategic autonomy for Europe. And one more thing—Trump is anything but a reliable partner.

@RnaudBertrand Mr Hegseth thinks he is going in a new crusade. The next step is what ? Shouting “Montjoie”, “Saint Denis” and “Deus lo vult”. If anyone is not scared with this attitude, they should…I am !

And we're told it's the other side that's a fanatical theocracy...
