Comments: It’s very sad indeed! The sadness part is that some people who were drowning in the ocean grabbed the tail of a shark hoping for help! The result seemed very obvious! A shark is not “ever” going to help you. It drags you down even further before eating you alive! Still, I can’t even blame the people! The fear of drowning is so real that one would grab anything to stay afloat! You can’t blame the shark either! It is his natural to kill…
No war in the history of the world has been fought to help ordinary people. People will die, their belongings will be destroyed and only few people will benefit. It’s only about money and power. Civilians are just used to make money and power for the few on the top!

Comments: I am really at awe about what has happened to humanity. People publicly talking about killing babies and no one is saying anything. People around the world will never forget the complacency of USA, UK, Germany, France, Italy and many other european countries with these murderous people.

Comments: There is an old saying that says “everything happens for a reason”! Maybe, just maybe, the past few years had to happen for the world to see the true face of Israel and the west. Unfortunately, it required such painful and cruel consequences but finally the world opinion is shifting.
The support for Israel has plummeted among Americans and people around the world. Few see them as victims anymore and realize who they really are!

Comments: People back home are going through the worst times with on again, off again BS coming from Trump. The uncertainty, fear and anxiety has become their daily reality. The skyrocketing cost of living plus the fear of all out war is taking its toll. If nothing else, the mental health of the people is getting worse every single day! I don’t know who is winning this war but I know exactly who is losing!

US President Donald Trump says he has cancelled planned attacks on Iran “subject to being able to rapidly make a deal”. 🤣🤣🤣
He claims Iran and other countries in the Middle East had asked him to hold off any strikes and that “the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to” including on the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Comments: A note on US treasurey secretary and it's content at todays cabinet meeting is very revealing, Scott Bessent is reminding himself to buy $5-$10B Japanese Yen!
![[image]](https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/d6c2b31e56ea4bd013b4f8e25ecd3d2d1d8c34a2/0_0_6460_4307/master/6460.jpg?width=1140&dpr=2&s=none&crop=none)
The JPY reached it's lowest value since 1986 vs the US $ last week. Since the start of the war with Iran and rise in oil prices Japan has to raise more $ to spend on oil, remember oil is only traded in $. This means it's own currency has been falling to a 40 year low vs the $.
So Japan has to buy more $ or raise interest rates to stop the decline of it's currency. They own a lof of US bonds and have been selling them to raise their $ reserves. This in turn will raise the bond rates in the US which is an infaltion indicator for the US economy. Japan has been keeping interest rates at near 0 for decades which attracts a lot of investors to borrow money in Japan and invest in 10 year US treasurey notes for a nice no risk profit. Once Japan raises interest rates this profit margin is wiped out and the investors will exit US bonds.
This will force the investors to sell the US bonds they hold which in turn will raise the interest rates in the US. So Bessent is forced to intervene not because they love Japan but because if they don't buy JPY and inject more $ into Japan the raise in interest rates will serioulsy put the American stock market under pressure and increase inflation in the US.
The key number is 5% coupon rate on 10 year bonds. Right now it's close to 4.8% and the US treasurey will probably spend even more $ to buy JPY if needed otherwise more infaltion and stock market decline is inevitable.
Another reason why Trump's war of choice on Iran is such a big strategic mistake.

Most of the 60,000 who streamed into the Spanish enclave in north Africa this week had returned to Morocco!

Comments: KSA has reached out and begged Trump not to attack Iran’s infrastructure. They realize such attacks could seriously damage their infrastructure in retaliation. I’m not sure if Trump cares about them. He only cares for Israel…

Comments: U.S. planning harshest attack on Iran’s energy sites, sources say
Sources tell CBS News the U.S. military is now contemplating a harsh attack against Iran’s energy infrastructure amidst concerns that Iran waged a cyberattack against seven U.S. states earlier this week.

Comments: The scope of cyberattacks on U.S. water systems has grown to include at least seven states and may be far wider, officials and experts warned, as the authorities raced to safeguard the nation’s water supply against an assault that increasingly appeared to be the work of Iran.
While there were no indications that any water supply had been altered or made unsafe to drink, state and local officials throughout the country were on high alert for potential problems in vulnerable computers that are commonly used to monitor and adjust water quality, including chemical-treatment levels and water pressure. Minnesota first publicly reported the attacks, and now Michigan says its systems have also been targeted.
The attack has little precedent, experts said, but has long been the stuff of nightmares and sensationalized Hollywood thrillers: an apparent cyberattack by a foreign power during a time of war that could, at least in theory, jeopardize the health and safety of Americans.
Officials cautioned that they had not definitively determined that Iran was responsible for the attack and that the investigation was still preliminary. But they said Iran had stepped up cyberattacks since the U.S. and Israel launched a war against the country five months ago, and had previously targeted similar water systems and other critical infrastructure in the U.S. There seemed no financial motive, making a criminal attack less likely.

Comments: Richnest is a shit brand compared to uber luxury watch makers. Nobody and I mean literally nobody would pay big dollars for that brand. It’s complete nonsense.
Why do I say this? Well largest watch exchange website in the world, Chrono24, doesn’t list this watch. In case you’re wondering the top two uber luxury brands are Patek Phillipe and Vacheron Constainte
