It’s a regional issue. For 30 years Netanyahu has been saying Iran is weeks away from the nuke. What’s funny is that Israel and the Islamic Republic of Iran worked together to bomb an Iraqi nuclear facility in the early 1980s.
The stock market has been in an upward trajectory since the so-called Islamic Revolution took hold in 1979. So the point is that it’s pure Israeli lobby propaganda that Iran is somehow a threat to the US or the global economy. Sure Israel and Iran have issues. But I’m not Israel or Iranian.
Plus last year Trump said that we wiped out Iran‘s nuclear program. Yet the Israeli lobby is continuously bringing up the nuclear enrichment, nuclear program, nuclear this or that.
What we do know is that the straight of Hormuz was open before the war started. Now there’s all sorts of problems there. What is holding up the stock market now is an AI boom. So if this thing continues in the straight of Hormuz we risk losing the single good thing happening right now in the west, which is a positive stock market. Away from stocks Obviously the price of gas is high in the USA and times are very tough for the working class American due to price increases bc of the Iran issue.
A few people are attempting to argue The pro israel view. But unfortunately all over Fox News, CNN and social media It’s just people getting called Nazis, racist or Democrats or Muslims. Dumb stuff like that. Especially considering that most Democrat senators and Congress people are funded by the Israeli lobby. And for a while, there’s been this Israeli lobby talking point about how “we don’t give money to Israel they just subsidize our economy by using our tax payer dollars to buy American equipment”. That’s a nutty way to look at it. We do give away billions of dollars to Israel and military equipment and military technology. We don’t get anything for it. On the other hand countries like Saudi Arabia and others have actually paid out of their pockets hundreds of billions of dollars for our military equipment.
The idea of the greater Israel project makes sense...as to why Israel is fighting in Lebanon and Iran and pushing Americans to do their work in Iran. Of course we always hear “oh but October 7”. Well what about the Israeli soldiers who testified that they believe their government allowed the oct 7 attack to occur. And the obvious fact that that conflict goes back decades
Israel isn’t going anywhere as they have 90 + nuclear warheads. Which is the ultimate sort of deterrence. And they already have peace deals with most of their Arab neighbors.
