Trump has temporarily backed down and this is now a ‘5 day ultimatum.’ Not sure what caused the change other than, we ran out of munitions. I’m dubious he actually listened to someone that stated ‘this is a bad idea’.

even in the 80s it was the same. he'd buy shares of something, talk publicly about buying the company, price would go up, he'd sell. then he'd do it again. it wasn't too long before people stopped paying attention, because it's super obvious. now he's doing the same f****** thing, except he's racking up a body count with an unprovoked war.

He needs to pump the brakes on Iran because it’s drawing too much heat. So they’re deploying ICE to US airports because of yet another shutdown over stupid shit. ICE will do a bunch of stupid shit and create controversy to buy time and reset the distraction clock.

The shut down is congress inability to pass a full fy budget on time....since 1996.

Hmm interesting point. Do you think maybe the president threatening congress over passing a budget unless some arbitrary election bill designed to subvert democracy gets passed may make this event a little more special than the other ones?

Has that been going on since 1996?

Of course not, dummy. But don’t you maybe think that the reason for this time different enough for a multitude of no good reasons or is critical thinking too hard after just getting your drivers license?

markets reacted very bad to his last 48hrs ultimatum, now this was a backward walk to manipulate the markets but this war...might be the beginning of the end of the Petrodollar empire as we know it...and will have repercussions for months if not years in the rest of the world.

Week 1 Trump: "We Won" Week 2 Trump: "We're Very Close to Winning" Week 3 Trump: "Please help me China, Nato, Puti, someone!" Week 4 Trump: "We'll let ourselves out ... don't bother to get up, Iran. We'll be back in, um, 5 days?"
