Leader of Hezbollah blanked with a pinpoint strike. The ayatollah better be ready for his 27 virgins. Much as I hope for someone to take out this terrorist regime I hate the thoughts of two wars going on with two aligned aggressors. Ie Iran and Russia. I see too many similarities to pre ww1.

I have no predictions but I know our grandchildren will be talking about whomever is killing who in the Middle East.

What can we expect from North Korea and China?
Those 4 countries have been supporting each other with weapons manufacturing and innovation.
The ultra expensive western weapons systems are being challenged by much cheaper mass produced innovations like drones and missles.

They all are becoming much more influential in their regions and moving on the poorly governed resource rich countries.

China wants Taiwan and North Korea is what it is.
Expect to see that group becoming more emboldened and aggressive.
Don't see any leadership in the west to stabilize it.

The top comments from zerohedge sum up the situation nicely.

Question is chicken or egg? Maybe it’s a globalist conspiracy amongst power players or little worms in your head to get the democrats elected or perhaps the Middle East and radical Islam is an eternal state of war and misery. Aside from conspiracy theories look at consequences for Iran becoming involved in a conflict with Israel. Does it hamper their ability to supply arms to Russia? Does it justify Israel to take out irans major oil export hub? What are the repercussions and who stands to benefit or not from that? Not likely this will escalate beyond Israel lobbing a similarly weighted response at Iran and things carry on as usual. The Iranian regime prefers to yap but pay others to do the dirty work.

All I know is we that we should all be eternally grateful that Trump isn't president. Seem to recall the media telling us that he was going to start world war 3 when elected.

Just imagine how much worse it could have been.
Which reminds me of another political football.

Some say history repeats itself.

USA had a bad time with Iran during the 79? hostage taking that lasted way too long.
Definingly low point in recent history for the worlds superpower.
Weak leadership brings big world problems.

The era of Jimmy Carter. Obama was the 21st century equivalent.

Israel hitting back at Iran now

[furrowtickler]

Not supporting either side just pointing out this will have serious repercussions and will eventually affect markets of all kinds shortly
Up or down ? Who knows when the smoke clears …. Or doesn’t

Grain markets are going to be distorted even more beyond the Ukraine / Russia war .

I guess take opportunities when they present themselves and hold on for a bumpy ride ahead
