US, or Donald Trump, has decided to enter the war

So it happens… as expected, US has entered another new war. History is on US side, bad history… Time and again, US justifies its actions by using its military might. Trump, campaigned on big government spending cuts, can’t resist himself and his egos… Remember the big military bash just a week or so ago to celebrate his birthday? This is not someone who cares much about spending cuts, especially it is not his money… US$40M+, down the drain… The world was not looking. People are questioning this waste… what did he do in response? Start a new war front, as soon as many American Presidents before him. Think Afghanistan… who had equipped them? Then, came the infamous 9-11, which resulted in US war with them. Then came the Iraqi war, where US justified their invasion based on fake informat

Oil Rises, Markets Retreat: Navigating Risk in a Fragile Geopolitical Climate

Overview: Markets Enter Risk-Off Mode Amid Middle East Escalation Global markets have turned defensive following the U.S. airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities, marking Washington’s direct military involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict.
