Iranian officials probably watched Trump try to humiliate the Japanese Prime Minister, and decided that now would be the best possible time to offer them safe passage.

We could be a few months away from every major Asian economy paying for oil in Yuan to guarantee safe passage.

It's not just that Trump is losing the war that he started.

It's that he doesn't even understand that he is losing the war he started. He thinks that he's winning.

And even worse, he is not losing the war alone. We are all losing it with him.

Everyone. The entire world. Losing.

I agree. Truly backed into a corner for the first time. "Mr. President, we can not escort ships through Hormuz. There are not enough ships in the world to do that." "Fine, I will make other countries send their ships."

Wish I had made this before the war. I just assumed that someone in the Trump administration (obviously not Trump) would warn them.

There goes petrodollar.

And there goes the US dollar....

Ripping through the world with cascading collapses, banks, countries, cities, institutions...

You thought you had money.
They are just weird IOU's.
