Donald Trump has claimed there have been talks between the United States and Iran over the past day in which the two sides had “major points of agreement”, appearing to avert a potentially severe escalation of the conflict.
Tehran has denied the claim, in which Trump also speculated that a deal could soon be done to end the war. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesperson said no talks had been held with the US since the bombing campaign began 24 days ago.
Trump’s threat at the weekend to “hit and obliterate” Iran’s power stations and energy infrastructure if Tehran did not allow shipping to move freely through the strait of Hormuz, and Iran’s threat to destroy infrastructure across the Middle East in retaliation, had raised fears of a deepening conflict and global economic crisis.
He’s just preparing for an out, in a week or two he can tell on TV that Iran agreed to all demands and as such, the US gets out. Won’t work most likely, but maybe he’ll try.
That or he seriously believes this has happened because someone told him. Who knows! Or he might just contradict himself.
I’ve heard speculation that its market manipulation, and that seems likely.
Garunteed this cunt and all his billionaire ilk are storing their wealth in assets that’ll survive the collapse of the US dollar.
The goal is to destroy America and buy up the pieces.
There was a story on CNN about significant market movements that occurred 15-20 minutes before Trump sent the tweet
I’m willing to accept it as long as the fucking war ends.
Of course, we’ll continue to feel the repercussions for decades.
So much for my retirement.
It’s not too late to move your retirement out of the country!
A friend of mine is actively pricing out options. It’s not out of the question.
Of course, the entire world is experiencing economic distress from this bullshit, so that’s not a panacea.
