Is the regime in Iran soon to be toast?

I think they deserve some credit

I’m sure as time goes by we’ll learn more

My questions are
  • why have the Saudis backed off and not used their superior Air Force? Do they still have it?
  • if reports are true that MBS asked Trump to face US forces repel the Houthis and Trump declined to help, why?
  • i thought Pakistan and Turkey were supposed to help via their new pact with Saudi Arabia?
 
Anything wrong with this one?

 
I’m sure this could all change overnight so probably no big deal, but gee it don’t look good right now

 
 
 
 
 
Note the date

I don't get it, if the Gulf States are getting hammered economically, WHO is propping up the American Bond and Stock markets?
 
Japan, China, FED, EU

US Treasury, who just bought back $18B of their own debt this past week.
Like using your Visa to payoff your Mastercard

And Japan and China are selling

And folks are going to think hard about Stonks and CDs watching the market get set to tank when they can get guaranteed 4.625%+ on short term Treasuries.

We're broke. We have 2 choices
1- Print more and watch rates continue to go up
2- Default

Can you blame them?

Look at North Korea , we havent attacked them (no oil to steal I suspect) but nuke countries tend to not get attacked so much

Nobody wants the bonds, that’s why the yield is going up so fast.
Like Trump promising you $5000 for your vote, the US Treasury is having to raise the premium (yield) to get people to buy them.

Which raises our printing borrowing costs which already consume 20-25 cents of every tax dollar

Eventually, combined with stupid outrageous Defense spending, you have no money left for the little things like Social Security, healthcare, infrastructure, food…

Folks don’t seem to understand that we’re approaching the end game with Trump behind the wheel going 120mph with no brakes and that light in the tunnel is going to smack us harder than anyone alive can imagine

Hug your family and learn to farm
