The American political class is utterly delusional, adrift in a dream of normality, unable to process the actual reality of events on the ground, where the US just launched a completely unprovoked war against a massive country, murdered its leadership, and demanded its conversion to a vassal state.

Well there is this ill-conceived war thing happening right now that is threatening an oil shock so it is possible this is a time limited problem.

Israel is extensively bombing the suburban area of Dahiya, south of Beirut. This is the namesake of the 'Dahiya Doctrine', a strategy whereby the IDF targets civilians and civilian infrastructure to put political pressure on governments they don't like. It's literally the definition of a war crime.

I am guessing a bunch of investors were pulling out money because they are searching for liquidity and Blackrock limited investor ability to do so in order to prevent the fund from collapsing. Bank run-esque.

If the US is not going to do ground troops I favor Iran in the war of attrition here. Let the oil shock develop and watch the ordinance run low and then let's see about the unconditional surrender.

Iran just needs to blow up oil tankers and exhaust the anti-drone measures.

Honestly feels like we’re just bombing them because the admin can’t admit they didn’t have a real plan. Everything is very stupid.
