Re: President Trump 2.0
Let's not forget that this conflict may cost us deeply if it continues to impact energy prices with their knock-on effects to inflation and employment.
Quote:
Gas prices have spiked and global stock markets tumbled as the conflict in the Middle East intensified and concerns grew over how long it will last.
The UK gas price surged to its highest level for three years on Tuesday, following sharp gains on Monday, while Brent crude oil benchmark briefly rose above $85 a barrel for the first time since July 2024.
There are fears the fight in a region that plays a key role in global energy supplies and shipping routes could have a similar impact to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine four years ago which pushed up the cost of energy, causing price rises for businesses and consumers around the world.

Netanyahu's been successful in doing what he set out to achieve - assassinate the Ayatollah, weaken Iran's military strength severely and for bonus points, drag an insecure Trump on board.
Iran's responding as much as it can with inferior weaponry. I don't know whether attacking countries like Kuwait makes sense but there's obviously a strategy there.
The US just looks reactive and clueless. If I was China, I would be tempted to stretch America's resources by a few naval exercises towards Taiwan.

Re: President Trump 2.0
Seems odd to me that oil & gas prices are going through the roof, is it a 'supply and demand' thing?
Just asking because we've already spent £Billions on wind turbines and solar farms so we don't need oil & gas 
. .. unless of course they're so inefficient we way as well go back to coal

Or…
It’s not that simple, either/or…
A blend of renewables and fossil fuels mitigates the impact, but it would have been much worse if we were totally dependent on fossil fuels - but you probably knew that…

Re: President Trump 2.0
Every cloud...poor old Vance is having to belatedly defend his boss's war despite being elected on an anti-war platform.
Quote:
In January 2023, then-Senator JD Vance took to the Wall Street Journal op-ed page to announce his early support for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. The primary reason for his support, he claimed, was that Trump “started no wars.”
Meanwhile, other restrainers who were counting on Vance to behave as a true believer are starting to question the sincerity of his views. “This is a guy who has converted from atheism to Catholicism, the guy who called Trump ‘Hitler’ who is now his vice president,” said the nonprofit leader. “Am I confident that he is entirely moored or tethered to any one perspective or worldview? No.”
The anger directed at Vance stems not only from the fact that he failed to prevent a potentially costly war but also that, in the process, he has done lasting damage to the anti-interventionists’ long-term project of convincing war-weary voters to embrace the GOP as their political home.
For Vance, who is widely expected to seek the Republican nomination for president in 2028, that represents an electoral problem as well as an ideological one. “He wants to build a grand coalition on the right, and I think it’s going to be impossible to build a grand coalition by just ignoring the anti-war right,” Mills said. “I think he’s going to have to win back some of that support.”

Re: President Trump 2.0
Comment in the FT this morning, in response to a statement by Scott Bessent (US Secretary of Commerce) that Trump’s 15% tariffs on all other countries will probably happen this week…
Summarising the summary
The US wants to treat literally every other country as an enemy/subject, while wanting every other country to treat the US like an ally/master…

Re: President Trump 2.0
Epstein files include claim Donald Trump 'sexually assaulted child then punched her'
Donald Trump is alleged to have sexually assaulted a woman while she was a minor, according to a claim reported in the Epstein Files.
The unnamed woman claimed the US President sexually assaulted her after being introduced by Jeffrey Epstein when she was aged between 13 and 15. The woman claimed in the October, 2019, interview she first met Trump in either New York or New Jersey, while Epstein was also present.

Trump says Cuba is next: ‘Gonna fall pretty soon’ he tells CNN
After ousting Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro with a daring snatch-and-grab operation and decapitating Iran’s leadership at the outset of the week-old American-Israeli aerial war, President Donald Trump says the next target for his administration’s regime change campaign is a nearby nemesis that has resisted similar efforts for nearly seven decades.
The president told CNN in an interview on Friday that he believes his administration is close to toppling the communist government that has led Cuba, the Caribbean island just 90 miles off the Florida coast, since 1959.
“Cuba is gonna fall pretty soon,” said the president, who spoke with CNN correspondent Dana Bash by phone in a brief interview
