Switzerland says US-Israeli strikes on Iran violate international law Defense Minister Martin Pfister urges both parties to cease violence, protect civilian population - Anadolu Ajansı

'Switzerland says" it because it is true: the US-Israeli unprovoked attack on Iran violates international law. Hey journalists: you can consult lawyers, you know, and make true statements about the law when it's clear. This isn't a 'he said, she said' kind of thing.

The Bubble, the War, and the Coming Crash Markets are volatile, the real economy is weak, but investors are betting the party isn’t over yet.

"If you take away the big tech companies and the uber-wealthy, the US economy doesn’t look far off recession.

It’s the same for the UK and Europe – only worse.

And then, war enters the chat."

🇨🇳 Thousands of Chinese fishing boats have been massing in geometric formations in the East China Sea, in coordinated actions that experts believe are part of Beijing's preparations for a potential regional crisis or conflict.

Crude prices aren't what will ultimately drive the necessary demand destruction should the Strait of Hormuz remain closed.

That job will fall to refined product prices, the things we as consumers actually consume.

Singapore spot jet fuel prices are there already, over $200/bbl

Trump Knew the Risk of Iran Blocking the Strait of Hormuz. He Still Went to War. The president told his White House team that Tehran would likely capitulate before closing the strait, the world’s most vital shipping lane.

Trump was totally wrong about how Iran would react to being bombed? You don’t say.

Epic thanks to Melody Sheep for putting this together, and, to Isaac Asimov, who foresaw the extent of our calamitous meta-crisis over 40 years ago

Parliament wasn't consulted - and polling shows huge numbers oppose it.

When do MPs get a say over our involvement in this war?
