The Iranians have to be mentally retarded to be attacking other Middle East nations.
Trump is sucking so much Netanyahu cock, it isn't even funny...not everybody loves corruption Donnie.Trump demands Netanyahu pardon as he slams Israeli president as a 'disgrace'
President Donald Trump demanded a pardon for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu so he can fully focus on the current war with Iran.
In an interview with Axios published on Thursday, Trump called Israeli President Isaac Herzog โa disgraceโ for not yet pardoning Netanyahu.
โEvery day I talk to Bibi about the war. I want him to focus on the war and not on the f*cking court case. I want the only pressure on Bibi to be the fighting against Iran,โ the president said.

Not really, if the Mullahs fall, they feel like burning the house down will punish the West too. They are right.The Iranians have to be mentally retarded to be attacking other Middle East nations.
They already know they cant win so they want to make it as painful as possible for the rest of the world. The world runs on oil.The Iranians have to be mentally retarded to be attacking other Middle East nations.
Thats one possible take on the situation. In his younger days he may have been able to think some of that through and come to those conclusions but nowadays I don't think he's that smart. He's doing what his handlers tell him to do.This also could be true...
Trump is running the most dangerous geopolitical blitz since Bretton Woods.
And the endgame isn't a trade war.
There's a theory circulating that Trump is running a far more ambitious play -- one designed to collapse BRICS, force China's hand, and lock in dollar dominance for decades.
It's bold. It's speculative. And whether you buy it or not, the underlying moves are worth paying attention to:
๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ญ: ๐ฉ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฒ๐๐๐ฒ๐น๐ฎ
The U.S. moves on Venezuela's oil, lithium, gold, and rare-earth reserves. Not for regime change โ for resource control. China has quietly relied on Venezuelan oil to sidestep sanctions for years. That lifeline gets cut first.
๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ฎ: ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฎ
This one's less dramatic but arguably more important. Canada deepens its alignment with Washington โ offering diplomatic support, intelligence sharing, and strategic basing access. It's not that Ottawa becomes a puppet. It's that North America starts operating as a single economic and security bloc in a way we haven't seen since WWII. That kind of continental unity sends a message that's hard to ignore.
๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ฏ: ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป
With Venezuela compromised, China pivots to Iran for oil. Predictable. That's when the U.S. and Israel escalate โ strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, command infrastructure, and oil facilities. China's backup energy source disappears.
๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ฐ: ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ถ๐ฎ
Here's where the theory gets really interesting -- and really controversial.
The argument is that a back-channel deal is already taking shape. Russia, increasingly squeezed and looking for off-ramps, begins redirecting energy exports toward Western markets. Out of self-interest, not friendship. In return, Moscow gets energy revenue guarantees and a pathway back to the global trading system. Canada, with its existing Arctic and energy ties, becomes the diplomatic bridge.
The result is a North AmericanโRussian energy alignment that removes China's last major source of leverage.

BRICS loses its economic foundation. Beijing, cut off from reliable energy and geopolitical allies, is forced to negotiate on American terms, including purchasing U.S. debt at favorable rates. The dollar gets a controlled reset with gold as the backstop, and the global financial system re-centers around Washington.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป + ๐ฆ๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ
Energy price spikes and defense spending flood capital into risk assets. Bitcoin pushes past $200K. Then comes the executive orders: a Strategic U.S. Bitcoin Reserve, funded by seized assets and energy windfalls.
But the piece most people are sleeping on is stablecoins. Every USD-pegged stablecoin moving across borders reinforces American financial infrastructure without a single new bank branch. The GENIUS Act laid the regulatory rails. A geopolitical shakeup of this scale would create a demand shock.
Stablecoins don't just survive a reset like this. They become the rails it runs on.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐น๐น ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ:
Resource control โ energy dominance โ geopolitical isolation of China โ dollar reset + Bitcoin reserve + stablecoin expansion.
๐ง๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐๐น๐น ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐พ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฒ:
Precision chaos โ total energy dominance โ China's surrender on U.S. terms โ dollar reset + strategic Bitcoin reserve + stablecoin expansion.
American financial supremacy 2.0.
Whether you believe it or not, the pieces are already moving.
