Monday: We have won

Wednesday: High oil prices are good
Thursday: There is nothing left to hit
Friday: They have no army, navy or missiles left
Saturday: HELP

Trump begging for help against a military he claims is 100% defeated and from allies he has spent a year insulting.

It’s over.

Not yet officially but politically, Trump’s Presidency died this week.

Iran official: “Kharg Island is not Epstein Island. Here, whatever crime you commit, you will be punished!”

😮‍💨

Just realised @roryjohnston.bsky.social is on Bluesky.

Worth a follow if you want to know what is really happening in oil markets.

The global oil price is being manipulated.

Instead, focus on the products oil is refined into - the stuff we actually use.

This is the Singapore spot price for jet fuel. It has now risen 120% in recent days.

For info, the full translated headline reads:

“Operation Epic Failure: The war with Iran exposes the limits of the Trump approach - and its costs for the global economy.”

This weekend’s edition of Germany’s leading business paper.

The whole world sees this for the catastrophe it is.

“The only thing prohibiting swimming on Amity beach is the deadly shark. But it is completely open for swimming should the shark stop sharking.”

He sent America to war on the advice of a Fox News host and two real estate guys.

Now he’s putting boots on the ground.

That no-one was able or willing to stop this catastrophe will be debated for generations to come.

Yes, the rally was held yesterday, just as the ships in the Persian Gulf were burning.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

UPDATE: There is no war, this is a war, the war ends soon, the war is just beginning, Iran’s nuclear program is gone, Iran could have a nuke in 2 weeks, Iran has no navy, Iran is planting mines, Iran is weak, Iran could attack California, oil is down which is good, oil is up which is good.

The hilarious thing about Trump confusing “incursion” with “excursion” is not that he’s made a war sound like a trip to the lake.

It’s that all his servile Cabinet who are scared to correct him will have to start calling it an excursion too.

We’re the only mammals led by the stupidest of the pack

BREAKING: First statement issued from the new Ayatollah, Mojtaba Khamenei:

“The Strait of Hormuz must remain closed.”

Oil price immediately rises to $102.

Meanwhile, Trump just posted on Truth Social. He is actually trying to reframe the rocketing oil price as a good thing.

This guy, man…

Reports of another US oil taker being struck by Iran.

They really entered a war with no plan for Hormuz - we may be watching the most reckless act of war in modern history.

Energy Sec. Chris Wright says US Navy escorts could start by end of March.

Too late. We’re all cooked by then.

NEW: Iran has published footage showing the moment the US-owned oil tanker in the Gulf was struck by a drone-boat loaded with explosives.

Devastating.

And impossible to defend against. They are just sitting ducks.

We may never see a photo that better captures the Trump era.

“Everyone thinks Trump is playing 4D chess when, in fact, most of the time his staff are just trying to stop him from eating the pieces.” - UNNAMED TRUMP AIDE.

UPDATE: Trump started a war with Iran to keep us out of a war with Iran.

Sell.

Spent some time today trying to fathom why the markets don’t seem to care about an unfolding catastrophe.

Then I remembered it took them 6 weeks to realise there was a global pandemic, even with wall to wall footage of dead bodies around the world.

Trump says Iran’s military and navy has been eliminated, its missiles destroyed, there are no mines and there is “virtually nothing left to hit”.

Yet there isn’t a single US naval vessel within 500 MILES of Iran…

Yes and yes. It geolocates all photos/videos published 👍

A unstoppable meteor is hurtling to Earth and will impact on Friday, causing an extinction level event.

DOW UP 0.6%.

Oh, and Trump’s Cabinet members are trying to buy nuclear bunkers.

Yes, this is a real story 👇

Trump attacked Iran after markets closed on Friday because he thought it would be over by Monday.

12 days on, the world faces a shortage of oil, fertiliser & food, 200 children are dead, a capital city is poisoned & global capital flows are at risk.

He started it but can’t end it.

Cataclysmic.

UPDATE: HSBC in Qatar is closing ALL its branches after Iranian warning

Standard Chartered Bank has started evacuating all employees from its offices in Dubai.
