It's a Great Day for the World!

BTW, if you think it's a great day for the World, please do some research on the Asian countries that are being affected by the Iran war and the blockage of the Strait of Hormuse. The "World" is not strictly some myopic bubble that only includes the US. Yes, it's a great day for the World. Right. :oops:

Multiple Asian countries are currently or historically affected by war and armed conflict, ranging from direct combat to geopolitical, economic, and humanitarian fallout, especially with recent escalations in the Middle East. Key regions hit by conflict include the Middle East (e.g., Yemen, Iraq, Iran) and Southeast Asia, with nations like the Philippines, Thailand, and Cambodia facing economic disruption.

The Philippines is experiencing a severe economic shock due to the 2026 Iran war, which has triggered a national energy emergency. With 98% of its crude oil imports coming from the Middle East, the country is facing surging fuel and food prices, transportation strikes, and a potential, serious inflation spiral that threatens to drop economic growth to under 3%.

And if you don't think China is making inroads with these countries in their time of need, time to think again.

I agree with what David Brooks said on the PBS NewsHour this evening, that the Iranians are more likely to convert to Christianity than accept the current U.S. demands. And the one thing they said they'd never agree to, which is giving up their stockpile of enriched uranium, is pretty much the entire rationale stated for our waging war on them.
 
Oops, the Strait of Hormuz is closed again, by Iran,
because America will not lift its blockade of Iranian
ports!

Very sad, I believe that there are too many different
meetings, by too many different people.

The Stock Market is Soaring. Oil Prices are Plunging. Gas prices are coming down. The war with Iran has come to an end. US profits are soaring up almost 40 percent. We still need Iran to turn over their uranium...but if not we will take it. Everyone is cooperating and we are all winning. We're watching history.
It's not a great day for the world. Gas prices are not down. The stock market is not soaring. Gas prices are still much higher than they were before dictator want to be, decided to start a war. This is the same silly nonsense that you know who and his clueless followers spread, while totally ignoring what is really happening in our country. It totally boggles my mind why some people defend and spread his lies and fantasies.
 
I take my news from different sources and points of view therefore, I feel I can make up my own mind. By watching the foreign press I am able to get global information on the war situation. At home in the USA, I feel we are fed lies and constant contradictions. It is time to get rid of the chaos, greed, insecurities, and corruption.
Enough with the wars, invasions, and violence!
@seadoug I watched a few videos on the present and future situation in Asia and Africa. The situation is dire.
In Africa, they are running out of gasoline. The price of gasoline went up 40% in Mozambique.
In India, the food price takes 50% of their income. They all need fertilizer. The planting season is now until May, so it is critical to get it now.
They are fearing famine.
