Ended before it even began. According to NBC News, “Iran has declared an end to its military operations against Israel, after the two sides exchanged a wave of attacks that threatened to tilt the Middle East back into all-out war. Israel has yet to respond to the announcement.” Wow! This ended so quickly that I couldn’t post fast enough to say this latest round of “aggression” is meaningless and nothing would come of it. This was all posturing. “I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.” Look, morons, I keep saying this: The war is over! Full stop! The U.S. not only lost the battle but also lost face and its stature on the world stage. There will not be a resumption of all-out hostilities. What will continue are these low-grade tit-for-tat exchanges. And, no, Iran is not going to close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait. That’s not going to happen. The state of play at this point is simply microaggressions and antagonizing words of vacuous bluster signifying nothing. The markets will close higher, and oil will be lower because people are ignoring the mess in the Middle East. It just doesn’t exist. It may no longer be a war, but it is a global economic disaster nonetheless that no one wants to acknowledge. We’ve just become accustomed to chaos. Chaos in the U.S. Chaos across the globe. Chaos in the markets and economies. What a way to live! But this is what this sh*t-for-brains country voted for: The Don! to break everything and fix nothing! Fan-f***ing-tastic. I expected nothing less. Welcome to stupid America!
