US officials preparing for possible strike on Iran in coming days, Bloomberg reports

Speaking to reporters earlier on Wednesday outside the White House, Trump declined to say if he had made any decision on whether to join Israel's campaign. "I may do it. I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do," he said.

A ‘terrible spiral of escalation’: World braces for intensifying Iran-Israel conflict

The White House said Thursday that the president would make a decision on that within two weeks.


All the rhetoric seems to suggest a US strike is closer than many think. If I was a cynical man and I am not, I would say it will come on a weekend (highly possible its this weekend, hint hint) so as to disrupt markets the least. After all potentially starting WW3 takes markets a weekend to get over these days .

In other reports the Russians that actually built/helped build the Fordow nuclear site are warning of dire consequences if its destroyed. Western experts agree it could be another Chernobyl or even a Hiroshima I heard this morning, we aren't exactly sure but there's one way to find out right? .

Meanwhile ignoring the global "distractions" (we never use war for that reason right?) seems like deflation has become a common word again? The Swiss now at zero interest rates as we see most global economies now in contraction. I am talking in reality not the "were not quite in recession yet" BS we get told .

However, its also being mentioned that inflation might reappear again once all the front running of tariffs runs out. But good news that should only be transitory as the already broken consumer gets completely wiped out and we can all get back to deflation and flushing the global economy down the toilet again .

But there I go again being a bear when I should be saying it doesn't matter if the world is literally falling apart and the global economy is in melt down because "this time is different" right? After all its a "new" bull market? Sorry the Kool-Aid must have worn off for a second need to drink some more :
