You can even call them if you yell squirrel at them because they’re so beautiful. They are so shiny and fantastic.

Heres m6 crazy thinking. Trump now has to nuke regardless of timetable because he knows damn well if iran shuts the straits our economy will tank.
You know what else i think? Bibi didnt tell Trump about bombing the scientists and chief negotiator( but our MIC probably knew) so as to force Trump into this invidious position of unconditional surrender.
Bibi is determined at any price to nuke Iran. Trump got outplayed…and is still outplayed. He cannot negotiate his way out of this. Foolish Trump…hes in too deep now.
This country is and has been a vassal state of Israel since 1963. Trump knows what’s gonna happen if he doesnt do what Bibi wants. But this time it could ncludes a family style execution. Or the coming grid down planned already by our mossad MIC rulers…and it will be blamed on Iran.
We are screwed either way

Not saying I’m willing to bet against Chanos, but I think he’s missing something here.
I need a leveraged BTC play for my trading account. I need it because I’m making plenty of money with my trading, and I need to lock it in with a hard currency, preferably leveraged like 1.5x to make up for capital gains, while accessing the bulk of my capital as margin for my trading operation.
I’m doing it with Gold & Silver futures at the moment, which works OK, but I’d like to diversify with BTC as well. BTC futures are a scam (to use the parlance of the youth) - they are around 100% margin and you pay up to 10% interest on the USD balance as you roll, even though you already paid up front.
Next time I rebalance into BTC, I’ll find some financial alchemy to get me leveraged BTC, and it may well be Microstrategy. Margin collapse (hello Greyscale!) would be disappointing, but I could look past it if the scale is limited.
He’d need special margin supervision/financing for his collapse bet to make it sensible. Otherwise, if he’s paying interest on both legs, he’ll need a rapid collapse to cover the cost of carry.

I can’t comprehend why anyone beleived him in the first place, especially after the first term.
You would think that #OperationWarpSpeed would have been enough.

Here’s another nail in the “Green New Deal” coffin that I hadn’t been aware of, the delays in connecting generation projects to the grid Study: Extended Interconnection Queue Times Plague Wind, Solar I’d love to see a deeper dive from Peak Prosperity on the topic

With spendthrifts, it isn’t until it is. With a ~100:1 cost of intercepting Iranian missiles, since multiple Patriots are used, Iran has a shot at financially depleting the West.
Some quick search terms suggests that NATO has a GDP of $50T, while Iran has a GDP of $0.5T, meaning that with this exchange rate, Iran = NATO, and that’s even if both sides sacrifice as equally as a proportion of their productivity. Iran will likely do far more, if they can rally the populace, NATO is also busy propping up Ukraine, and China is backing Iran now.

This was houthi maths. I got perception US Navy gave up, it simply cost like 1Bn$ per month doing that. Im not aware what is happening around houthis now, since Israel-Iran flared up, news have been cut off from that region.
That math explains pre-emptive strike. More is possibly coming unless missile protection systems get much better and cheaper very fast.

The race is on. I’m going to make a prediction:
They’ll stop trying to hit missiles with projectiles and with missiles. It’s just too hard. At Mach 10+ the turbulence alone is most likely enough to cause the missile to dodge, never mind evasive action. It’ll be either mine based defense with drones or lasers/microwaves… or possibly something super clever I don’t even know yet.
