DJT: Middle East Naivety

* See UPDATES below...

Either President Trump is very naive about 'fabricated reports' from the Middle East regarding Iran's so-called willingness to make a deal with the US, or he is simply playing games and stalling the inevitable scenario...further military action to finish off the Iranian regime's reign of terror against its citizens and other countries in the Middle East and around the world.

I suspect he will have to make a decision one way or another very soon. People are growing weary of all the shenanigans (BS) on both sides. All talk and no action won't be tolerated by the price-gouged (global) public much longer.

Trump can either set the terms in the Free-World's favour and act on them, or Iran will do it their way. 

He has a choice...either make it or surrender it.

Source: ZeroHedge

By the way, Iran needs to 'man up' and negotiate directly (face to face) with US representatives if they're serious about striking a deal with them...not through a third party, from which unreliable reports (lies) emanate. 

Failure to do so will never produce a deal...only a prolonged and destructive war.

UPDATE:

Furthermore, a 60-day tentative extension of a ceasefire is NOT a bona fide permanent peace agreement...just more delay and uncertainty on the issue of removing the enriched uranium from Iran and the permanent dismantling of their nuclear program, which remains a major global threat to international security.

Looks like President Trump has lost sight of that issue (one of his major goals) and is surrendering that matter to Iran by allegedly agreeing to watered-down piecemeal arrangements...which may include the early release of some seized Iranian funds in exchange for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

That would be a loss for the US and a win for Iran, because it was already open before the war and billions of dollars were frozen decades before this current conflict under extensive US sanctions targeting Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. Plus, Iran could then use the monies to buy/build more drones and missiles to replenish their depleted stockpiles...rendering Trump's bombings, to date, all for naught...while still in possession of their enriched nuclear materials.

Both the US and Iran need to 'man up' and negotiate face to face to settle all issues at once, rather than through a third party...and cut the drip, drip BS...people are fed up with it all!

Incidentally, other Western world countries need to 'man up' and offer support to the US to ensure that it is successful in these negotiations, inasmuch as their prior involvement in the now-defunct JCPOA (Iran Nuclear Deal) provided significant mutual reinforcements and assistance to each other in enforcing a unified policy to constrain Iran's nuclear program. 

So far, they've taken a hands-off approach to this situation.

Since it was in their interest then, why wouldn't it be now?

UPDATE:

From this latest report, it looks like the only thing that has been accomplished by the ceasefire, so far, has been the ability of Iran to restore and reopen 20 airports that were damaged in this war. 

Plus, Iran is still in possession of its enriched nuclear materials and nuclear facilities, and the Strait of Hormuz is still closed.

So, where's the upside to the US in this ceasefire? 🤔

HINT...

A "creative visionary" would find a way to streamline, amalgamate all the moving parts of this conflict (including goals and impediments), and accelerate the process of achieving global economic, financial and military security/stability...in part, by turning the impediments into common goals for all parties.

And, a "creative opportunist" would find a way to capitalize on this process.

UPDATE:

So far, I haven't seen any evidence of either party possessing such creative thinking and negotiating abilities in order to reach and sign a final agreement that contains common goals, as backed up here and here.

Frankly, I don't believe that terrorists have the capacity or desire to seek any common goals with the Western world and the Middle East...as repeatedly demonstrated by Iran's combative rhetoric and actions for the past 46 years under the dictatorship of the Ayatollah and his henchmen, while recurrently shouting, "Death to Israel" and "Death to America" since then.

I predict that the situation will get much worse right through the midterm elections in November, especially as low and middle-income Americans (living paycheque to paycheque) continue to suffer economically and will likely voice their concerns in the way they vote.

Billionaires, such as the President, and long-term investors/market makers may not care how long this drags out, or be worried about the midterm elections, but average Americans do/are.

And, who has the appetite to participate in Trump's 250th July 4th celebrations under these uncertain and unappealing conditions? 👀

UPDATE:

WTF has Trump been smoking! 

He's getting more unbelievable by the day with his ridiculous vacillatory, contradictory, hyped-up comments. 

His 'so-called' negotiating tactics are not clever...just plain stupid, clueless, overblown, bizarre and irritating.

Plus, his tone towards Iran seems to have softened since his visit with President Xi in China in mid-May...case in point. Coincidence?

It's becoming clearer that a decent deal for the US regarding Iran will not be forthcoming.

PERIOD!

Source: ZeroHedge

Source: ZeroHedge

UPDATE:

An alleged Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the US and Iran, as described in this article, is not the same as a FINAL deal.

The so-called negotiations of items and terms outlined in an MoU (and, by extension, the conflict) will drag on forever...case in point here and here (39 'deals' announced by DJT, so far 🫤).

Even Europe is forecasting further uncertainty ahead, as the ECB has just raised interest rates by 0.25% due to rising inflation.

Buckle up!

P.S. As of June 19th, a signed copy of the MoU containing the entire text has NOT been released to the public on the White House website...(allegedly signed by the Presidents of the US and Iran this week).

What's the big secret? 🤔

In any event, I repeat..."It's becoming clearer that a decent deal for the US regarding Iran will not be forthcoming."

PERIOD!

P.P.S. From this report, it appears that President Trump underestimated Iran's response in this war, which has proven to be very costly (in the US and globally) in many ways...monetarily, economically, politically, militarily, and strategically. 

Their leaders are also masters at deceit, delay, obfuscation and manipulation tactics, as has been demonstrated for decades.

So, who is the 'winner' in this war? 👀

UPDATE:

As predicted, it looks as though no progress has been made since the signing of the MoU.

Rather, things are unraveling between Iran and the US, as per the latest reports here, here...and here.

So, back to 'square one.'

By the way, what's the point of negotiating when neither party has a common goal (terrorism/war versus peace in the Middle East) upon which a deal can ever be made? 🤔

UPDATE:

Not unexpected, the US war against Iran has resumed, as noted in the article below. 

So, we'll see what happens...

Source: ZeroHedge

UPDATE:

Will these intensified US military actions finally "streamline, amalgamate all the moving parts of this conflict (including goals and impediments), and accelerate the process of achieving global economic, financial and military security/stability...in part, by turning the impediments into common goals for all parties?"

Translation: Will Iran capitulate?

We'll see...

~~~~~~~

MEANWHILE:

Meanwhile, back in the USA, the Democrat party (whose campaign funds on hand are at an extreme low as donors' contributions have dried up) is rapidly being infiltrated and primaried by members of the extreme far-left DSA (running for Mayors, Governors, and seats in State and Federal Houses & Senates), whose socialist/communist agenda would destroy American democracy/federalism, as governed by its Constitution.

So far, I haven't heard any pushback or rejection of their ideas/ideology from senior members and leaders of the Democrat party on this destructive movement...destructive to National security and the survival of the country.

So, America's biggest threat may not be from another country, such as Iran, but from nefarious forces working within the Democrat party. 👀

PERIOD!

The DSA's insane radical platform, seen below, is an extension of, and more extreme than, far-left Democrats' failed Green New Deal and ESG/DEI policies, as well as former President Joe Biden's (D) inflationary, et al, disastrous policies...who could forget those four years when inflation increased from 1.4% when he took office in January 2021 (following Trump's first term as President) to 9.1% year-over-year in June 2022 (cumulative inflation increased by over 20% across his for four-year term)!

This detailed analysis of their platform is enlightening, to say the least!

Image: ZeroHedge

PLUS, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently warned 60 global nations against the resurgence and rising threat of far-left international political terrorism, as noted below.

Also, Secretary Rubio issued this report which alleges Cuba's decades-long communist influence/interference in America.

Another case in point is this article regarding mass migration, clashing social values and media bias in the UK.

And, this latest case involves a mass invasion of 60,000 mostly military-aged men in 24 hours from Morocco into a segment of Spain...bringing destruction and terrorism to the community and its residents. Plus, this article provides an update on the aftermath of this invasion, as well as some EU leaders' responses/concerns ('too little too late' as it pertains to numerous problems already caused by their permissive policies, which have allowed unchecked mass migration into Europe over the past few years)...it also warns that another potential invasion may be imminent.

So, this threat to "destabilize Western civilization" is worldwide and needs to be dealt with ASAP.

~~~~~~~

UPDATE:

The US war in Iran is escalating, once more, as noted in this report. 

If Israel joins this next phase, and depending on its scale, intensity and consequences, we'll see how quickly (or not) Iran and any other incidental/associate targets finally capitulate and stop their military attacks in the region.

No doubt, we'll see some wild fluctuations in the markets over the next while...e.g., WTI/Brent Crude Oil and US10YT.

Stay tuned...

UPDATE:

Reports of Iran's surprising rapid rebuilding efforts, following the initial bouts of 20,000 bombings by the US and Israel (known as Operation Epic Fury), are leaking out now, as described in this article.

The question is, does the US have any idea, and any control over, what it will take for Iran to capitulate? 🤔

We'll see...

UPDATE:

If this report is accurate, I'd say that Trump's recent blustery and bravado threats to Iran were simply idle off-the-cuff comments and not backed up by any imminent massive military actions. 

After all these months, it's unclear if, as Commander-in-Chief, he knows what he's doing from one day to the next...or how to even create and follow a 'covert' comprehensive 'flexible' military strategic matrix (comprised of strategic, operational and tactical elements) to get to his so-called end game...one that's operationally capable of destroying/imploding Iran's Military Mosaic Warfare/Mosaic Defense framework from within, possibly via a series of fatal internal miscalculations.

Rather, it appears that he may simply be influenced by day-to-day schizophrenic fluctuating prices of WTI/Brent Crude Oil and, possibly, the US 10-year treasury yield, so his ever-changing comments end up sounding schizophrenic, as well.

He'd be far better off if he focused on the task at hand and just kept quiet...why alert your enemy to any of your plans and showcase your weaknesses in the process? 

Isn't that what any smart military tactician/strategist/leader would do...keep the element of surprise in their back pocket?

Besides, I don't believe that Iran's terrorist regime [comprised of the new Supreme Leader (who has yet to surface in public or is even alive), the President, the leaders of its 31 provinces, and its IRGC] is ready to negotiate in good faith, or ever will be, for all the reasons I've already outlined above. 

PERIOD!

UPDATE:

This latest nonsensical post from DJT just proves my point! 🤔

Just how many victories is he going to give Iran?

Because every time they've reached a so-called agreement/deal/MoU (ones that President Trump has outsourced to another country to broker with Iran...WHY, by the way?), Iran has broken it and scored another victory against the USA, which has been easy to do multiple times, to date, under their military Mosaic framework.

So far, Trump has ZERO victories...not something to be proud of:

1. the Strait of Hormuz is still closed,
2. Iran still has its nuclear sites and material,
3. the terrorists are still in control, and
4. there's no peace in the Middle East, just worse conflict than before this war.

By the way, who does he think he's making a deal with this time...which tentacle of their terrorist regime? And which tentacle will then break it?

They've got him going in circles (Iran and those foreign countries brokering the agreements) and it seems he's a willing participant (easy target) in their stupid repetitive, dragged-out game.

So, yes, 'Groundhog Day' is an apt title for this charade.

How gullible can you get!

P.S. So this is the alleged arm-twister.

If true, what's really in it for them to keep delaying and interfering with a victory for President Trump? 🤔

And, surely, after all these months, he must have all the necessary information from his advisors to satisfactorily answer or allay any of their questions and objections.

If not, why not? 

Furthermore, as long as Iran refuses to negotiate directly with the American administration, you can be sure that they are not serious about making a deal...ever.

The longer he waits to successfully finish all of his objectives once and for all, the more likely it is that he will be hamstrung (or worse) by his own Congress, if it flips from Republican majority to Democrat in the House and Senate in the upcoming midterm November elections. 

In that case, no victory would ever be forthcoming for him...but, more importantly, for the USA. Plus his legacy will be in tatters.

So, why not complete the mission and ride a victory into the midterms to try and keep Republican control of Congress, while securing peace in the Middle East, as well.

Fact or Fantasy?

America, its National security, its democracy and values, and, by extension, the rest of the Western world, are teetering on the edge of being extinguished by the rise of socialism/communism/terrorism...from forces within, as well as from unresolved threats in the Middle East.

FACT!  🫤

So, buckle up! 

UPDATE:

What a joke! 

It now seems that President Trump halted his threatened mega attack to give Iran yet another victory in this war! 

The following report explains this latest farce, which gives Iran greater control over the Strait of Hormuz than it ever had before!

Source: ZeroHedge

This arrangement makes Trump look weak, untrustworthy, unreliable and cowardly...and, by extension, the USA...unworthy of a leadership role in America and around the world.

UNBELIEVABLE!

WARNING: So, with this scenario developing, along with the rise of the DSA wing of the Democrat party and their socialist/communist platform in the US, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney needs to sit up and take note.  

It's becoming clearer that America is no longer the reliable trading and national security partner that it used to be...especially when you include Trump's unfair punitive tariffs on Canadian goods into this mixture.

As such, the PM will need to beef up Canada's military and strengthen its trading practices and ties internally and internationally...something, I believe that he recognized a while ago and began so doing.

Just as well, as these latest developments warrant haste without hesitancy! 👀

Trump's Big Red Button Activates International Economic Warfare

On February 1 President Trump signed an executive order that imposes 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, effective February 4...outside of the terms of the existing tri-lateral USMCA trade agreement involving these countries. 

This is odd, considering he bragged about renegotiating and signing this agreement on November 30, 2018, which replaced the prior prior NAFTA trade agreement.

The leaders of Canada and Mexico are retaliating with their own tariffs, as well as multiple measures by individual Canadian provinces (such as this), sparking a potential catastrophic trade war for all concerned.

At of the time of writing this post, President Trump has refused to take Canadian Prime Minister's phone calls placed to him since the date he was inaugurated.

The President is also imposing 10% tariffs on China, who are considering their response..and said he's also considering adding tariffs on Europe, the UK, and Taiwan, etc., as well as sanctions on, as yet, undefined entities. He is also dismantling USAID as described here and here....and has been busy taking other actions at home and abroad.

Tariffs and sanctions would spike already highish levels of inflation, as well as produce multiple job and industry losses worldwide...and create huge losses for foreign and domestic investors in a variety of sectors directly and indirectly impacted by his actions...potentially leading to a recession in some countries.

The Wall Street Journal has dubbed Trump's action as "The Dumbest Trade War in History."

Source: WSJ Opinion

As I write this article Sunday evening, U.S. futures markets (Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq) are tanking along with Chinese/Asian/Aussie/European markets, WTI Crude Oil is spiking, and the U.S. Dollar is spiking thereby tanking the Canadian Dollar and other world currencies.

N.B. Updated details on overnight trading can be found here.

The President's pretext (based on the text of the executive order) for the imposition of these tariffs is, at best, flimsy, and, at worst (based on his ever-changing rhetoric, outright factual lies and repeated taunts), unjustly punitive, bullying, hostile, nonsensical, reckless, and smacks of imperialism, as well as geopolitical and sovereign cannibalism. It also appears to be politically and personally motivated, in some cases.

We'll see how long this tariff warfare lasts, and the extent of unnecessary economic and political damage it causes around the world.

N.B. In the meantime, Canada needs to wise up and diversify its trade internationally and inter-provincially, as it cannot tolerate being subjected to irrational whims of a belligerent, erratic foreign leader who wants to annex it via these legally-suspect tactics (Canada becoming the 51st state of America)...especially one who verbally keeps changing the goal posts of what it is he's actually after.

N.B. On the other hand, since Mr. Trump seems intent on joining the U.S. with Canada, perhaps the U.S. should, instead, become, either the 11th Canadian Province, or its 4th territory...forming a much larger Canada...BUT, first, they have to pay off their $36+ Trillion national debt and clear up and eliminate all their fiscal and political fraud, waste and abuse (UPDATE Feb. 23: this elimination has begun, as detailed here), because Canadians do NOT want to be saddled with any of it...nor, do they want their country to become the 51st state. How's that for a "reciprocal" proposal, Mr. President...your favourite word these days! 😏

Markets hate uncertainty.

Buckle up!

* UPDATE February 3...

Both Canada and Mexico have been given a tariff reprieve of 30 days to enact a plan that (presumably) satisfies the President's concerns outlined in his executive order related to fentanyl and illegal migration along the northern and southern U.S. borders, as described in this article.

So, we'll see what happens.

However, it appears that there's more to this than meets the eye in that regard.

First off, President Trump will need to identify exactly what the "economic" problems are that, supposedly, need 'fixing,' to which he has alluded at the end of his latest post (below) on his social media platform. So far, his actions and rhetoric have all been theatrical megalomaniacal insanity...not based on a rational broad mutually-cohesive strategic economic plan!

So, who knows what would ever satisfy him regarding tariffs. Let's hope that common sense prevails.

But, don't hold your breath.

* UPDATE February 4...

President Trump's threat of tariffs on China became a reality today, with China retaliating with tariffs of its own against the U.S., as described below.

Source: ZeroHedge

P.S. In addition to the above tariffs, President Trump has promised that more tariffs are also in store for a number of specific goods from Canada, Mexico, China and multiple other countries worldwide.

There is no hibernating this winter for the 'global inflation bear who has been poked.'

Keep an eye on potential business and personal bankruptcies and the effect on U.S. banks over the coming weeks/months.

WORLD MONEY FLOW: October Week 3, 2022

The following graphs depict percentages gained/lost world-wide for the third week of October for a variety of major world indices, sectors, commodities, currencies and banks.

US Major Indices

US Major Sectors

European Major Indices

Canada, Japan & Australia

EEM & BRICs

Agriculture & Commodities

Currencies, US Bonds, Bitcoin, XLF, EUFN & GXC

Major Banks

At a glance, traders favoured:

• high-risk versus low-risk assets (growth over value),
• US markets versus Europe and Canada,
• the Energy sector, particularly Brent Crude Oil,
• Brazil and Russia,
• Gasoline,
• Silver, Platinum and Copper,
• the Aussie and Canadian Dollars, and, to a lesser extent, the Euro and British Pound Sterling,
• US and European Financial ETFs, and
• major banks (perhaps bank buy-backs were heavily involved).

Losers for the week were:

• US Bonds, 
• the US Dollar, 
• WTI Crude Oil, 
• Agriculture, 
• China, 
• Australia, and
• Japan.

As well as October's end-of-month focus for fund managers, important upcoming dates are: 

• the US Fed meeting (interest rate announcement and press conference) on November 2, and
• the US midterm elections on November 8.

Until the midterm elections are over and all results are fully tabulated and settled, markets may continue to experience volatile, wild whipsaw intraday swings, until we see clear signs of capitulation...as I've discussed in many recent posts.

In this regard, keep an eye on:

• the US Dollar,
• the Energy sector, 
• the Technology sector,
• the Discretionary sector,
• world Financial sectors, and 
• major banks 

for signs of continued risk appetite (e.g., Technology, Discretionary and major banks), or flights to safety (e.g., US Dollar and Energy).

Pierre Poilievre: A Force Majeure

More Biden Crises Erupt: COVID-19 😕

* See UPDATES below...

Good question, Ari...and it's one that others are also asking.

I'd also ask why he didn't organize a task force to launch an "Operation Warp Speed" to produce these test kits, as well as develop and produce theraputics, such as the "Operation Warp Speed" program ordered by former President Trump to research and produce vaccines for COVID-19? 

He's had months to do so, but sat on it instead. Why?

Add these to the many crises and failures of President Biden's first year in office...which started on Day One when he signed executive orders banning new oil and gas exploration and drilling on federal lands and cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline already well under construction from Canada, which led to an increase in the price of  WTI Crude Oil from 48.52 (at the December 2020 close) to a high of 85.41 this year. 

Of course, this higher cost ended up negatively affecting the costs of all goods and services and contributed to the inflationary numbers we're seeing today. 

Until Biden reverses these orders, inflation will remain high, with energy shortages becoming the norm...quite the reversal from the energy independence and low oil and gas prices that Americans enjoyed, for the first time, by the end of Trump's presidency, thanks to his policies.

Furthermore, until President Biden reverses his prior executive order which cancelled the completion of the wall which was well under construction (by the Trump administration) along the southern border of the country when he first took office, the U.S. will continue importing new COVID-19 cases and new variants via the thousands of illegal aliens who are entering every day...around 2 million did so already in 2021, and most of them were unvaccinated. There is no requirement by the Biden administration that they be vaccinated before being allowed to remain in the country, unlike the thousands of Americans who wish to work and eat at restaurants, etc...which is also contributing to supply chain shortages, worker and healthcare shortages, and inflation.

No wonder most Americans are suffering under his policies, which are negatively impacting national security, inflation, and the national debt, etc.

With three more years remaining under Biden's presidency, I doubt things will get any better any time soon...rather, quite the opposite, so brace yourselves.
