....I wonder how the markets react to the downgrades last week. After all, won't a lot of funds have to provide a shit load of new collateral today? or will they change the rules and quietly allow the event to pass by seemingly unnoticed?
My bet is on the latter, because the Masters of the Universe wouldn't want to piss off the Brotherhood of Darkness, now would they? It doesn't really matter anyway, because of the shit in Iran gets out of hand, we might just all end up dark spots an the ground, surrounded by the smoking ruin of what used to be a country. Now that Russia has stepped up to the plate and declared that any US interference in the Gulf won't be tolerated, we now know that Russia will back her Iranian buddies if and when the shit hits the fan over there. Remember, Iran may not have much of a navy, and they may have just a tiny speck of a military when stood up side by side to the US force, but they have a whole shit load of sunburn missiles, which if used correctly, could send the John C. Stennis to a watery grave.
None of us want to see any of this come to fruition, but I fear it has gone on for far too long, and Iran will not back down to our pressure. They are already enriching to 20%, which means if they have figured out the whole problem with how to make the stuff go super critical, it is but a matter of time before they announce they have constructed the "Holy Bomb", as they are fond of calling it, and threated to use it on Israel. After that, all bets are off.
