Unfortunately, now that Trump threatens “it will get much worse”after the Wednesday night US attack wave commenced along Iran’s coast, the only move he has left is to continue to up the ante.
Ironically (or NOT) threats like “They’re evil and sick people, and we must get rid of this cancer” appears to be another “We’re winning the war in Iran” headline moment.
But are we winning?
This is the kind of bravado that politicians use to get people united to fight the latest Boogey Man…which is code for “We Need More Tax Money to Fight This War.”
So, don’t be surprised if we have anther huge increase on war spending.
At the same time, you must wonder who is profiting the most from these market gyrations (Cough! Traders in the “Club” Cough! Cough!).
But most investors don’t see it that way.
And that’s because of the many Distractions de Jour (DDJ) in your face every day…it’s all by design.
Cease Fire
Meanwhile, (and as irony would have it) this war against Iran/ Cease Fire is yielding a counterproductive outcome.
Huh?
Rather than toppling the regime or inspiring a popular uprising, it is fostering a unifying effect, as the Iranian public increasingly comes to view the so-called “Great Satan” and “Little Satan” (Israel) as the true aggressors.
And rather than looking weakened by this war, Iran presented itself as defiant with the public funeral painting itself as the victim of assassins.
At the Supreme Leaders funeral, they presented a unified force determined to shape what comes next.
And unfortunately for America, that defiance and ability to survive now underpins Iran’s negotiating strategy.
So, what’s next?
One thing for sure is you can expect more wild swings in the market as the geopolitical events around the world (including Russia, Ukraine, China and Taiwan) heat up simultaneously with Iran.
