💵 🇺🇸 📈 USD share of global transactions:
February 2026: 49.2%
March 2026: 51.1% RECORD
The dollar hit its highest share of international payments.
The world isn't replacing the dollar.
It's building more infrastructure that requires the dollar.
More US LNG → more dollar-denominated energy trade.
More sanctions risk → more dollar-clearing dependency.
More geopolitical fear → more dollar safe-haven flows.
De-dollarization is a direction.
Not a destination anyone is arriving at.

📝 #Iran’s diverse target bank in response
🇮🇷 Iran has moved from passive defense to offensive deterrence. Any #US aggression will trigger proportional retaliation:
● If Iran’s power plants are hit → missile/drone strikes on power plants in “israel” & US allies.
● If Iran’s oil/gas infrastructure is hit → targeting “israel’s” & regional oil/gas hubs, cutting 25M barrels/day for a year.
● If #Iranian military or civilian figures are assassinated → destruction of “israel’s” AI & IT centers.
● If Iranian islands or ports are seized → massive salvo of ballistic/cruise missiles & drones against US carriers & assault helicopters.
● If the naval blockade continues or escalates → closing Bab al‑Mandab &, if necessary, fully mining the #StraitOfHormuz, halting all pipeline oil sales.
● Surprise operations against US interests outside the region.
● If US ground invasion happens → joint ground ops with #Resistance forces & local mujahideen, capturing US soldiers with local help.
⚡ Bottom line, a full‑scale war would:
· Become regional instantly – with the Resistance Front directly engaging “israel” & #PersianGulf states.
· Trigger Iranian offensive deterrence – designed to impose crippling costs.
· Cause an unprecedented global energy shock – through closing both Hormuz & Bab al‑Mandab.
· Leave US with no viable exit – any limited strike would spiral into a wider war.
📝 The #ceasefire extension is not peace – it’s a re‑armament pause. A single miscalculation could push the region into irreversible full‑scale confrontation.

The Christian Zionist Pastor John Hagee warns that standing against Jew‑hatred is a "spiritual responsibility" for every Christian.
"America right now is flooded with anti‑Semitism... It's a sin. Sin damns the soul, and you will answer to God for it," he said.

The president calls global politics a casino while his family and officials cash in on defense spikes — and a soldier gets arrested for betting on his own mission.
💬 "I was never much in favor of it. I don't like it conceptually, but it is what it is. They have predictive markets. It's a crazy world," he told reporters.
Reality check:
Meanwhile, a US special forces soldier who helped capture Maduro wagered $32,000 on Polymarket that Maduro would be "out" by January — cashed out over $400,000 — and now faces five federal charges.

After World War 2, Japan adopted legislation restricting its arm export to only non-lethal systems and embraced pacifism. The policy greatly hamstrung Japanese arm industry, whose only customer had been its diminutive Self Defense Force.
The new Prime Minister Takaichi has drastically moved toward rearming and ramping up weapon production. Japan is seeking big investment to expand its arm industry and export to customers in Asia and Europe.

What they fail to grasp is that China lacks total control over Iran. The relationship between China and Iran is nothing like that of South Korea or Japan with the US.
It is not a subordinate relationship where one acts as the other's lapdog. Iran is not China's lapdog. Furthermore, China will be the last to feel the pain.
The world is on the brink of the fastest onshore crude inventory drawdown in history. Amidst this, China will hold up quite well, thanks to the buffer they have wisely built up.
China will eventually feel the heat from this turmoil, but they will certainly be the last ones to get burned.

According to the International Energy Agency, Liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies are likely to remain strained through the end of 2027 due to disruptions and infrastructure damage caused by the US-Israel war on Iran.
The Paris-based agency said in a new report that "The combined effect of short-term supply losses and slower capacity growth could result in a cumulative loss of around 120 billion cubic meters of LNG supply between 2026 and 2030.
