Then add the increase in gas prices hitting us right now.

Nope. And now he’s making veiled threats . https://www.ft.com/content/1ca6d121-760b-4ec5-b6ad-514fdaa94873

And why not. Trump had a success in Venezuela with a short operation. He’s managed to get some of what he wants with tariffs. And a short bombing campaign in Iran to obliterate/not obliterate Iran’s nuclear capability. And Cuba is likely to fold soon too. Except Iran isn't Venezuela and it...

The problem is that the regime is incredibly resilient. It’s had 40 years to create and perfect that resilience. A political class of roughly ten thousand backed by a fanatic military arm of the the Republican Guard estimated at over a 100K meshed with institutional systems that support it...

Certainly not the way they are going about it, it would seem. Maybe but not really desirable. And would likely be a repeat of the last few similar endeavours. Doubtful as it would leave a big mess. Was that not already in place? Maybe. The previous ayatollah was well into his 80s. He was...

I’m of the opinion that former military types make for terrible MNDs. People that know their files and portfolios and how to advance them within the larger system probably do better. Anand is a pretty competent minister from what I can see.

China is doing weird things with their fishing fleet (basically their merchant marines) right now. Really weird.

Make this as transactional as possible. Drop tariffs and we’ll consider it. The problem is their word isn’t worth much these days.

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/ckg1w1jp8kjt Maybe you shouldn’t have pissed off all your traditional allies. So now the US is calling on others to help them with this. I’ll be curious to see how this plays out.

Iran will likely assert itself once the US says “mission accomplished” by making a few strikes to prove a point that the strait will never be safe. I’m curious if Iran starts taking blood money from other nations to allow safe passage. Money that could say be used to finance its nuclear...

It’s funny how we lament things that are done with 4 year election cycle thinking but if we shift to long game thinking with things that may have impacts in the future fir the better then it isn’t fast enough. Sigh.

Did you get a pay raise or not? Are you not retained?
