Iran and the US - Is Trump serious?

The truly interesting news to me is not from the impressive bombers. But from the gray things.

In recent days, India , unlike the rest of the industrialized world, has been among the few countries that Trump has not come against in the trade war. There is a reason for this: India will be the world's cheap labor manufacturer and will replace China.

If India in 10-20 years will have Iranian oil instead of Saudi oil - that's not good for the US. After all, you are a superpower. You're not just being nice. Your goal is to create control: that the country that produces your products (India) will buy the energy from the country that buys weapons from you (Saudi Arabia), and all the products and energy will pass through the trade route (Israel) under your control.

These are superpowers. They don't aim to score the most goals - but to buy the league. Trump's secondary goal in the trade war, alongside the restoration of American industry, is to engineer the industries, natural resources and trade routes to America's benefit.

For years, American presidents have preferred a “nuclear Iran over the Spectrum.”
1. Democrats loved her because they wanted to tear Iran away from China.
2. Republicans are against it because they want to tear Russia away from China.
Along the way, Arab countries and Israel join forces, buy weapons, and make agreements under US auspices.

President Trump, unlike American presidents and his own presidency since 2016, is serious about Iran because the trade war is his top goal.

The policy of "maintaining power and the balance of terror" between Iran on its path to nuclear weapons and the Arab countries and Israel is no longer relevant. If China invests billions in Iran, if the Houthis, under the auspices of Iran, block a shipping route, if Iran occasionally flirts with India, if Hezbollah threatens gas rigs - Iran is entering head-on into Trump's superpower war.

The policy of containing Iran served Iran in another era: before the US became an energy powerhouse, before the Abraham Accords, before the Russia-Ukraine war, before Iran proved with the Houthis that it had the power to stop trade routes, before Western European radicalism.

Iran sits between China and India. It is a country that, potentially, just from selling energy, can hold Asia and become a power in its own right. In the era of the trade war - in which the US is seeking to create control over trade routes: the Panama Canal, Greenland, and the completion of the Abraham Accords for the trade route that will pass through Israel and Gaza - Iran has no right to exist as a country that is not a clear American proxy, otherwise it is an energy threat.

For the same reason that the Trump administration is serious about the Gaza Strip.
For the same reason he's serious about Greenland and Panama.
This is how serious the Trump administration is about Iran.

We are in the era of superpower warfare and the US's goal now is to create control over everything related to industrial, energy, and logistical trade.

In my opinion: Trump is very serious.

Coulda Been Bad

🇺🇸 Teenagers are now facing charges after doing a ding-dong ditch prank with a twist. They showed up in masks, wearing tactical gear and a rifle, or what looks like a rifle.

Two #Delaware teenagers, aged 16 and 17, faced charges after knocking on doors in New Castle while wearing tactical-style vests and carrying what appeared to be a rifle, police said.

This could’ve ended so badly..

Europe is screwed

📝 🇪🇺 🇫🇷 Mario Nawfal on X: Europe's riots are just the beginning. The real economic shock hasn't even arrived yet.

I spoke with economist Philip Pilkington about the unrest spreading across France, Italy and Albania.

He thinks we're watching the early stages of something much bigger.

One statistic really caught my attention.

According to Pilkington, France's inflation-adjusted household food consumption has fallen roughly 6.4% since 2022. He suspects the poorest households have suffered far steeper cuts.

Now add another surge in energy prices.

Pilkington pointed to rice futures rising 70% this year, wheat and sugar climbing 40%, and fertilizer shortages threatening next year's harvest.

His prediction is that the worst food inflation could arrive this winter or next spring.

And there's a political problem sitting right on top of it.

Governments across Europe are already deeply unpopular. People are struggling to afford basic necessities, and another prolonged energy ...
