OPEN THE FUCKIN STRAIT
>>2781462Wouldn't be surprising if they are doing everything to spite the orange king
>>2781478>Traders are such cattle, man.yeah man it's flock/herd behavior. any collective group is going to feed off each other's panic even if many or even most of the individuals in that group don't "believe" the panic. because they're all thinking "man i better sell before all the other cattle panic sell. i'm not cattle like the other cattle. i'm a real human, but i don't want to hold on for too long or i'll lose out to the panic sellers."
so even the meta-game reveals that panicking is the optimal strategy. it's less about being more human/less cattle and more about getting out of an asset before the panic sets in. because panic is panic even when it's meta-panic
>>2781462>>2781464It’d make the perfect plot for a stupid 80s comedy.

How long until Taiwan is out of oil?
>>2781489every source says taiwan has about 3 months of strategic reserves. it would be very nice to have a global countdown map with each country labeled without how much reserves it has left
Burger military should just coup Trump and Hegseth already.

>>2781477>OPEN THE FUCKING STRAIT!>I'M CLOSING THE STRAIT!Can we get Business Plot 2 please? Surely the capitalists are tired of this senile retard.
>>2781462Why is he so focused on market manipulation
It's pathetic that Iran agreed to a ceasefire and engage in talks that obviously aren't going anywhere while IDF is still massacring people in Lebanon
>>2781504his followers are the ones who would be coupin'
>>2781508you're retarded, there is no ceasefire. it's all Western propaganda
>>2781513How many missiles has Iran fired at Israel and GCC the last few days?
>>2781504if you think about it he's a genius
kek>iran won't open the strait>so i'll stop my own blockade that way i can say i'm winning because nothing is getting through and that's what i wanted all along >>2781512You'd think Thiel/etc would be happy with Vance, especially if it's actually true that Vance is against the war in private.
Have been out of the loop for a couple of days. Have any new news come out about the pilot rescue
>>2781487I would pay PunishedJesus to make this a reality.
>>2781527Thiel is a good goy he wouldn't defy Israel's mandate.
>>2781530like i said. he's a genius of world historical proportions.
>>2781535You realize that's actually catastrophically bad and that the world economy is headed for a crash that might be potentially worse than the Great Depression, right?
>>2781505>Why is he so focused on market manipulationbecause 10 billionaires attended his inauguration, he did a crypto rugpull on his own followers, and his entire domestic presidency, geopolitics aside, is a scam meant to look the public at the expense of the private
>>2781539>meant to look the publicloot*
>>2781538Nvm, I'm too autistic to detect subtle irony/sarcasm
Are we winning yet?
>>2781539I think you can just say loot the public, because it's not at the expense of the private. it's still at the expense of the public

so trve sister
>>2781552
<This is what (((leftcoms))) actually believe
>>2781556leftcoms legit sound exactly like /pol/fag trumptards coping that trump is winning
>>2781567Nah I wouldn't put hope in the retarded markets, the actual economy will contract of course but they can always find ways to artificially prop up the markets.
>>2781516it's hard to tell because there's misinformation and disinformation surrounding war zones
>>2781538>>2781542it's ok anon. i also am sometimes. i can dish it out but i can't discern it.
>>2781567fuck the leftcom spammer but i will never tire of pointing out that a market crash is nothing but the cannibalization of the petty bourgeoisie by the haute bourgeoisie. every single crisis in my adult memory (i.e. since 2008) has resulted in the richest of the bourgeoisie getting even richer, while the petty bourgeoisie get lumpenized (I would say proletarianized but this is the USA I'm talking about). The wealthiest bourgeoisie refuse to centrally plan production but happily semi-plan market crashes, wars, the destruction of surplus commodities, because destruction is always easier to plan than production. They simply inside trade information among themselves and short sell in advance of these semi-planned crashes, allowing them to prophet from the cannibalization. This was pointed out by Engels in less explicit terms as early as Anti-Duhring, but it's also elaborated upon in the chapter on Fictitious Capital in Capital Volume 3, and Rajani Palme Dutt of the CPGB wrote about the Destruction of the Productive Forces quite compellingly in his 1936 work "Fascism and Social Revolution" Chapter 3. This has been your Read Theory Reminder.
>>2781588> allowing them to prophet from the cannibalization.accidental poetic spelling error
>>2781591>if you're winning you don't typically threaten to destroy a civilization or look for scapegoatsfamous bleeding heart humanitarians of
checks notes The Wall Street Journal. I love how many of these absolute Holden Bloodfeast ass ghouls are pretending their hearts grew three sizes in the wake of Trump's re-election after ignoring 4 years of Genocide Joe. Hey. He told us we would be "tired of winning."
>>2781593He's a former wallstreet investment banker btw lol
>>2781597don't mind me btw i'm just over here LOSING MY FUCKING MIND
>>2781591<Bezos subtly signalling his vote of no confidenceI wonder if WallStreet will pressure the US government into conceding defeat once things get bad enough.
>>2781588>a market crash is nothing but the cannibalization of the petty bourgeoisie by the haute bourgeoisieAnd that's based
>>2781641it's just a thinly veiled way to give him gold as a bribe while kissing his ass. i wonder if we will see the same award years later on a different base
>>2781601>probably blood libelweegas it's written in your own damn language, you tell us what it says. I'm seething rn at how stupid this is
>>2781651They did it sloppy tho. Which means they don't care about him. Trump is an addict for praise irrespective of sincerity.
Also, I expect we might be raided soon as mods are afk.
>>2781664think of him like the ceo of ceo's for america incorporated
xitter banned AryJeay account. It was one of the best source for following the war. Fucking US propaganda tools, where is the chinese twitter
>>2781549>global famineI'm reminded of the "Black Sea Grain Initiative" where despite there being ongoing food shortage on Africa before Russia's invasion, a common thing, western media also tried to retroactively claim world hunger was Russia's fault. From the western retell,capitalism before 2022 had nothing to do with access to food, poverty and certainly not setting up most of the continent to be extractive neocolonies which need import all their food and necessities. Apparently it was 2022 that the RF invented warfare,"imperialism" and all the associated ills.
But then the UN published a web app where you could visualize the exports data various ways. Revealing that, obviously, the grain goes where the money is to pay for it. And, in fact, most of the grain was sent to China, with Spain in a second place where majority of it was used to feed cattle. A third place was taken by Türkiye, which got an extra share for it's role as mediator.
The page of the UN which used to host the web app has been replaced,since, with a literal low res screenshot of one of the app's tabs. Like so much Looney Tunes stuff, drawing a tunnel on a mountain face. And a PDF with further captures of the app's tabs.
I suppose the problem could be with M$, where the visualization was embedded from. But honestly, how lame is it to be in that position to begin with?
>Oh sorry, the provider fell off >So I guess I'll just take some screenies and call it done(The raw data is still available in inscrutable spreadsheet form)
Anyway here is the link:

In light of the aggression on Iran, the actions of American 'leftists' show yet again that they are in fact left-imperialists. Ultimately, only two types of Americans exist: the imperialist and his collaborator.

https://www.democracynow.org/2026/4/14/iran_blockadeFormer American & Iranian Negotiators on Ceasefire Talks & How War Could End
>We’re joined now in the studio by two former negotiators for the U.S. and Iran in this Democracy Now! exclusive.
>Ambassador Seyed Hossein Mousavian served as spokesperson for Iran in its nuclear negotiations with the European Union from 2003 to 2005. He also served as Iran’s ambassador to Germany. He’s author of two books, The Iranian Nuclear Crisis: A Memoir and, most recently, Iran and the United States: An Insider’s View on the Failed Past and the Road to Peace.
>And we’re joined by Rob Malley. He was one of the negotiators on the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. He served as a senior Middle East official under Presidents Clinton, Obama and Biden. Under Biden, he served as the special envoy for Iran. He is now a lecturer at Yale University, former president of the International Crisis Group, co-author with Hussein Agha of a new book, Tomorrow Is Yesterday: Life, Death, and the Pursuit of Peace in Israel/Palestine. Just 4 days before the war started, the Council on Foreign Relations published a document detailing plans for regime change in Iran. The final points outlined in the document are very closely aligned with the stated wargoals of the Trump regime, and are pretty much exactly what the American delegation pushed for in the Islamabad talks. They are:
>The State Department should activate formal channels via Switzerland and informal channels via Iraq, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates to deliver initial messages to Iran’s new leadership around key parameters for any future diplomacy. Over time, those channels could provide a conduit for testing the possibilities of structured dialogue on important issues, including conflict prevention; hostages; proxies; and nuclear transparency, including options for targeted and reversible economic incentives.>The Pentagon should develop operational plans for deterring possible Iranian escalation as well as messaging that reaffirms longstanding U.S. defense commitments to Israel and Gulf Cooperation Council states. Those messages should warn that attacks by Iran or its proxies will meet commensurate response, and that Washington will not tolerate opportunistic escalation. U.S. forces should develop plans for surging maritime, air, and missile defense coverage over the Persian Gulf and Levant as warranted.>The White House should privately convey to key capitals and interlocutors with militia groups, including Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, that any proxy strikes during the transition will be attributed up the chain and met with proportionate response.>The departments of Defense, Treasury, and State should step up proxy disruption efforts with new financial sanctions on logistics facilitators, cyber and law-enforcement actions against procurement nodes; and expanded interdictions of armed drones, missiles, and components.>The Department of Defense should reinforce air and missile defense networks and maritime deployments across U.S. Central Command’s area of responsibility. Officials should also intensify regular coordination with Iraq, Israel, and key Gulf state partners to be prepared to degrade Tehran’s internal coercive capabilities in the event of renewed internal turmoil, limit IRGC-linked militias’ room for maneuver, and deter regional adventurism by Iran’s new leadership.>The State Department should continue to discourage Americans from traveling to Iran. The special envoy for hostage affairs should press for safeguarding Western detainees and expediting their release. Backchannel messaging can be amplified with an early public marker that hostage-taking will limit economic engagement with the new leadership.>Treasury and State should coordinate with Canada, European partners, and other states with significant trade and investment relationships in Iran such as Japan and South Korea to link future economic engagement to the release of dual nationals and human rights protections, as well as a constructive regional posture by Iran’s new leaders. Once that multilateral messaging is developed, the United States and its partners should follow up with measures targeting the most notorious abusers.>The White House should press to revive nuclear diplomacy by coordinating with Berlin, Brussels, London, Paris, and International Atomic Energy Agency to craft an interim package of sequenced steps, including an end to or caps on enrichment and stockpiles; full accounting of centrifuge deployment; and new limitations on Iran’s missile capabilities—all subject to real-time monitoring that could be sequenced with limited, reversible sanctions relief strictly conditioned on verified steps.https://www.cfr.org/reports/leadership-transition-in-iranhttps://wikispooks.com/wiki/Council_On_Foreign_RelationsUnique IPs: 28
