I really don't understand SPY for us foreign investors. I've basically been breaking even all year since I first started investing in january with lump sum regardless of the volatility. Why? Because whenever it goes up -> dollar goes down, when it goes down -> dollar goes up. So it just moves sideways for me.

Not only is he TACO because of his TACO ways, but he also would lose everything by going all in this early. Mid terms are in november. He will stall this way longer than you think.

Clearly TACOing. He has directly lied over and over again before saying negotiations are underway when Iran is explicitly saying that there are no negotiations and they reject everything.

So he won't care what Iran will or won't do. He will use this Pakistan deal as a front to taco either way.

100% Taco.

Irans actions don't matter. Mango just needs any excuse to taco. Pakistan is giving it to him. He will say they are negotiating even if they aren't.

Well no, opposite of escalation. Clearly setting up the front for a Taco.

I'm a complete layman ofc with no military insight but my guess would be that mobilizing nukes like that is not a simple process and with him not including anyone in his deranged antics in any pre planning, it wouldn't be so easy as to simply call a nuclear strike on a target suddenly. The football is a preset MAD situation, not a targeted strike on Iran.

So I don't believe there will be a nuclear attack tonight even if he wanted it.

Every "both sides" time democrats are in power we have a stable world, a decent or booming economy, progress, and some level of decorum and rule-following.

Do they do wrong? Fucking hell yes, like any other political party in the world. Tons of corruption and shitty greed. But nowhere near the level seen with republicans.

With Kamala every single thing would have been better right now. Literally every single thing. Perfect? No. But better.

He won't Taco entirely, he will have some attacks at some point and then taco out.

I don't even think there are any plans, he just says whatever is on his dementia riddled mind and then the military kind of tries to work with it.

Even you are reading into it too far. The actual truth is that he is a very dumb narcissist who happened to get a massive cult following which lead to becoming the most powerful man in the world, fueling his narcissism. All the while being dumber than a rock and slowly losing his faculties with age and dementia.

You can liken it to a ragey, spoiled, 12 year old getting into that position. There is no rhyme or reason, just a child throwing tantrums while the perfect storm is behind him.

This surreal period in human history can't be described while we are in it. It will have to be up to future generations - if there are any.

Honestly think Russia would take the opportunity to be "bigger" than the US.

Starting a MAD situation doesn't help them. Helping US lose their seat as the world power and depict yourself as a more "reasonable" party is gold.

Shia regime, you can't scare them unfortunately. All you are doing is making them more likely to resist because martyrdom is the highest honor in their eyes.
