Incorrect in many, many ways. Exhausting first thing in the morning. Need more caffeine to address.

@Om2014 Okay, I am done with delivering food for all my neighbors and friends, and I am more awake now. Sorry for the delay.

1. The economy of the United States is stronger than it has been at any time since 2020. ALL the economic disasters that were initiated under Biden are in the process of being mitigated. Trump has been in office since January 20th of 2025, and in 14 months, he has surged the GDP. ALL the fall offs in GDP numbers are directly attributable to Democrat shut-downs.

"GDP grew at 0.7% per year in the fourth quarter. Inflation is at 3.0% . The unemployment rate is 4.4%. The S&P 500 is up 9.2% since he took office."

So I guess I would like to start off by saying that the economy is NOT dying.

2. Iran can't have nuclear weapons...and YET their ambassadors came to treaty negotiations BRAGGING that they had enough enriched uranium to create ELEVEN nuclear bombs. With the missile launching capability that they USED to have, the Iranians COULD have bombed ANY nation in Europe, and they would DEFINITELY have bombed Israel.

2A. AND the lunatic theocracy death cult in charge over there in Iran definitely PLANNED to nuke
Israel...and I wonder who else they would have nuked? Oman? Dubai? Saudi Arabia? Europe?
They have bombed ALL of their neighbors during this present conflict.

3. Venezuela: Maduro was the head of a NATIONAL drug cartel selling Fentanyl to kids inside the United States. CHINA was supplying Venezuela with the raw materials to CREATE Fentanyl. Venezuelan boats were drug running up into the United States with enough Fentanyl to kill our entire population 1000 times over. Venezuela was part of a larger problem we are having with China. CHINA is waging a low level non-war with the United States on many levels. Trump is trying to STOP Chinese depradations! Venezualan OIL WAS being shipped to CUBA, and to CHINA. NOW it is NOT being shipped to Communist nations who are diametrically opposed to our Democracy.

4. BRICS nations are part of the Chinese/Russian/Iranian communist plan to de-value the dollar. I don't think we need to lie down and take that.

5. Oil and gas price increases will DISAPPEAR when the issue with the Strait of Hormuz is resolved. IF the PAST allies of the United States had not been taken over, mentally, by EURO WOKE garbage mindsets, (which are nothing more than the pre-cursors of communism), we would already have had Minesweepers in the Strait. APPARENTLY the UK, France, and the REST of EUROPE just wanted to have their little non-cooperative fits, because...Trump. It is THEIR people who will suffer the high prices.

6. The "hidden agenda" of the United States is to combat communist incursions from foreign nations, and to prevent nuclear war, while maintaining a healthy economy for our OWN people.

@4meAndyou you did! I didn get any food :D
Thankyou for being so kind to write with such details. I might a few followup questions and discussion to make (to be taken in good stead, nothing to argue) I will get back after I reach home (traveling). Thanks!

@4meAndyou so to list out some of the thoughts I had about what u mentioned:

1. I admit I went a bit overboard when I mentioned dying but infact in 2025 usa gdp growth was shallower than expected rate, one due to govt shutdown, however some growth triggers which did manage to keep the growth at decent levels were a bit hollow cause

1a. "Buying Ahead" of Tariffs: Both businesses and consumers front-loaded their purchases to avoid anticipated price increases from new trade policies. Which again is a fallout of tarrifs.

1b. AI Investment Boom: Record-level investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure. This is another story of making a capital loop showing money as topline growth in another company therz alot of videos about it which explains somet like following
The Nvidia-OpenAI-Oracle Loop: Nvidia invested $100 billion in OpenAI; OpenAI then committed $300 billion to Oracle for compute power; and Oracle, in turn, used that capital to buy $40 billion in chips from Nvidia.
The Microsoft-OpenAI Connection: Critics note that of Microsoft’s reported $13 billion in AI revenue, roughly $10 billion reportedly comes from reselling Azure cloud services back to OpenAI at break-even prices, effectively looping the capital. It's called Venture Capital "Round-tripping": A significant portion of AI-specific revenue for cloud providers like Amazon (AWS) comes from startups that Amazon itself funded through its own venture arm.

1c. Strong Exports: Exports surged by 8.8%–9.6% in Q3, providing a major boost before the trade disruptions that occurred later in the year. So infact exports were doing good as such before traffis. Infact it may lead to Shrinking Volume in exports as the "frontloading" effect of trying to beat tariff deadlines fades. Plus the fact that Static Trade Deficit Despite the highest tariffs in 90 years, remained virtually unchanged in 2025 (declining only 0.2%), proving that tariffs did not effectively "rebalance" trade as intended.

1d. Inflation is going to increase because of war and S&P is already down by 7% cause of the war and if war goes on with 2 weeks it will be back to where it was when Trump took the office in Jan 25. It will bounce back again that's another thing 😅 cause stock market always does.

So effectively all the steps Administration took has hampered the economy in the short run so my premise is war is supposed to help it in long run by causing rift in global economy, attack on iran oil infra at South Pars gas field—the world’s largest, which provides up to 70% of Iran's gas production- have caused significant disruptions, prompting oil prices to surge over $100-$110 per barrel.

It has cause some long-Term Damage could take 3 to 5 years to become fully operational again, creating a prolonged supply threat.
Impact are predicted could reduce 2026 global GDP growth by 0.3%. But will help US cause they are not dependent on Iran for energy or strait of hormuz for that matter.

2. Regarding Iran not having nuclear weapons, makes sense, radical Islamists shall never have WMD as who knw they may smuggle it to religious terrorist which are all rogue can lead to disaster however Iran as a country I don't suppose will get into escalation of launching a Nuke on Any country without 100% assuring their complete destruction. It's not an easy decision to N bomb any other country it's almost assured mutual destruction.

3. Venezuela is a sovereign country recognised under International laws, just cause they won't confront US doesn't mean we can capture their president. There are diplomatic channels for that, plus who they supply oil to is their policy, which any country wud decide keeping their personal interest in site. Cause otherwise by that standard even Russias war on Ukraine is just cause they didn want Ukraine to join NATO for their personal interest and safety. For drug smuggling securing borders and find moles within the system is way to go.

4. Again it's business every country will look to benefit their own and break the monopoly be it trade or currency nothing to Judge there, US or any other.

Regarding weak dollar, US intend to weaken it, A weaker dollar makes U.S. exports more competitive but raises costs for Americans traveling abroad and increases import prices(which was also the agenda of all the tarrifs). Also it devalues the currency against gold, and it helps with debt repayment which is in dollars. So BRICS pumping gold up, selling dollar has infact helped US debt effectively reducing it. Which is also achieved by increasing inflation and devaluing currency.

5. The damage which has happened will take some time to recover probably years, yes the oil prices will reduce but probably the source will become different and relatively higher which will benefit energy dominated gdp of US which is my initial premise. The reluctance to join the war is simple, they want de escalation, already the energy they were importing from Russia has dropped from 45% to merely 14%. With Iran war raised the cost to additional 60%. They want end of it not force open another front where when Iran feels sided will become unrestricted and cause severe damage to energy infra will spiral the whole world down with it, probably won't directly hit US much cause of energy independence plus venezuela oil.

There are approx 7.7 million Jews living in Israel. There are approx 7.5 million Jews living in the US.

Don't think those 7.5 million are not paying their constituents to back pro-Israel causes. They are.

Jews, in America, are educated, wealthy and powerful. And Donald Trump's favorite daughter is married to one.

@whippersnapper I'm not sure it's a religious war or war against terrorism, before it all started we were told it's for dismantling terror.
@Om2014 How does one dismantle terror by causing terror? That's a concept lost on me.
Om2014 · 36-40, M
@whippersnapper that's entirely debatable, people waging war wud like to believe that it does. Inaction also can be costly and actions are barely restrained. We have fallout on either side of this. That's today's world for us.
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
I think it was more to reinvigorate Russia's dying energy exports and dying economy, but I'm also sure it's mostly so Trump can find another way to line his pockets.
Om2014 · 36-40, M
@DunningKruger Um probably, but it penalized our nations by slapping tarrifs when they were buying Russian oil. Russian is very happy right now, cause the arm export n war support to Ukraine is down and it gets to sell its energy. And for sure trump knws how to manipulate stock market
You think too much..
the west has been sold out from under us and that’s been realigned
Om2014 · 36-40, M
@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Oh yes by traditional ways of waging war. For every rise therez an impending fall cause we get complacent and conceited.
Yes, the right people are raking it in with everything the military does, and the riff raff are dropping like flies because there's nothing supporting them. Who have they even killed recently, am I right?
