Prof. Steve Hanke: Inflation in the US🇺🇸 will FALL, Trump’s tariffs WON’T cause inflation to rise

There’s a lot of talk that the Trump tariffs will cause inflation to go up, that’s not the case. Inflation is determined by changes in the money supply. So looking at the money supply right now in the US, the stock of money, M2, is lower now than it was in the summer of 2022. That means inflation will continue to go down.’

ICYMI: Iran’s🇮🇷 Armed Forces has reportedly readied its missiles to strike US-related positions in the Middle East after Donald Trump threatened ‘bombing the likes of which we have never seen before’ if Iran did not agree to a new nuclear deal.

Many of Iran’s ready-to-launch missiles are located in underground facilities across the country, designed to withstand airstrikes.

🚨Prof. Steve Hanke: BRICS only has RHETORIC for a common currency, but no plans

'The BRICS have rhetorically said that they would like to have their own currency, but it's just rhetoric. There is no game plan. There is no plan in the drawer they can pull out. I have presented a plan and published it actually for a gold-backed currency I am recommending for Turkey🇹🇷, Iran🇮🇷, and Russia🇷🇺...it would be issued by a currency board...now this proposal that I drafted up was, according to my moles, was brought up with the Turks, Iranians and Russians in the Kremlin, but it never want anyplace.'

All the talk about a BRICS common currency in 2022-2023 has come to nothing in reality

BRICS missed the perfect opportunity to truly knock US hegemony under Joe Biden

Now BRICS faces Donald Trump, who will ferociously defend the US’ dominance of the international system

Ali Larijani, Advisor to Ali Khamenei:

‘If the US🇺🇸 makes a mistake on Iran’s nuclear issue, Iran🇮🇷 will be forced to move towards developing nuclear weapons.’

Larijani highlights that currently, Iran is not developing nuclear weapons.

Until now, Israel’s propaganda said the genocidal bombing of Gaza was only to defeat Hamas and remove them from power…

Now with Trump in the White House, Netanyahu openly admits the goal of the carnage is to create the conditions to empty Gaza of its Palestinian inhabitants.

The US’🇺🇸 recent contributions to the Middle East:

A genocide in Gaza

Bombing Yemen🇾🇪

Reaching the brink of war with Iran

Destruction of Lebanon

ISIS-Al Qaeda allies and affiliates take power in Syria (after over a decade of support from the CIA)

The destruction of Iraq and Libya

China’s🇨🇳 recent contributions to the Middle East:

Brokered the landmark Saudi Arabia🇸🇦-Iran🇮🇷 normalisation agreement

Aligned the Belt & Road Initiative to support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030

Signed a 25-year economic cooperation agreement with Iran

Expansion of Belt & Road Initiative infrastructure projects across the region

🚨COL. LAWRENCE WILKERSON: THE US🇺🇸 IS NOT PREPARED FOR A WAR WITH IRAN🇮🇷

‘One thing that I would say that is fairly assured is that Donald Trump is against the use of real force against Iran…I think he has been given the full briefing by different people at different times by people at the Pentagon, on how desperate a circumstance a war with Iran would create for the United States…’

‘Not just because we’re so woefully short of people in our military, but also because our industrial base is woefully inadequate. It’s going to take a couple of years before we even begin to get going on remedying that. So we don’t need to be taking any more substantial commitments and Iran would be a very substantial commitment. Ten years, $2-3 trillion, lot’s of troops, a conscription process, a draft in other words.’

-Col. Lawrence Wilkerson on Going Underground discussing why war with Iran would be disastrous for the United States

The numbers are clear:

Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed more journalists and media workers than any modern wars, including World War 1 and 2 combined

The liberal Press Freedom™️ Industry in the think tanks and NGOs of Washington continue remain silent

Israeli leaders in their own words: Israel’s First Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion:

"The strategic objective [of the Jewish forces] was to destroy the urban communities, which were the most organized and politically conscious sections of the Palestinian people. This was not done by house-to-house fighting inside the cities and towns, but by the conquest and destruction of the rural areas surrounding most of the towns. This technique led to the collapse and surrender of Halfa, Jaffa, Tiberias, Sated, Acre, Beit-Shan, Lydda, Ramleh, Majdal, and Beersheba.

Deprived of transportation, food, and raw materials, the urban communities underwent a process of disintegration, chaos, and hunger, which forced them to surrender."

🚨Axios reports that Donald Trump is ‘seriously considering’ Iran’s🇮🇷 proposal for indirect nuclear talks.

US officials said Trump "does not want to fight Iran", but needs military forces in the region to "create deterrence" in the talks.

Iran holds more cards here than one may think. Iran has no reason to trust Donald Trump after he withdrew from JCPOA in his first term, imposed punishing sanctions on Iran despite complying with JCPOA, and assassinated Qassem Soleimani.

Trump knows this, and therefore has had to seriously consider Iran’s offer for indirect talks. Iran is denying him the photo op showcasing his ‘Peace President’ diplomacy.

Iran’s leadership knows Donald Trump knows that a war with Iran would completely derail his MAGA agenda, and destroy his domestic support. Despite all of his peace rhetoric, he would be yet another President that has been responsible for another catastrophe in the Middle East.

Iran has survived ‘maximum pressure’ sanctions before, and Tehran thinks it can survive again. Donald Trump can’t afford to start a war, which means Iran could be in a stronger negotiating position than many realise.

Former CIA Agent John Stockwell:

"We pumped dozens of stories about Cuban atrocities, Cuban rapists...we didn't know of a single atrocity committed by the Cubans. It was pure raw false propaganda to create an illusion of communists eating babies for breakfast."

Another day in Zelensky’s Ukraine:

Draft officers try dragging a Ukrainian man into a mobilisation van, to be sent to die on the frontlines of the failed NATO proxy war against Russia

Fellow Ukrainians attempted to save him from certain death by dragging him back from the officers’ clutches

Ukrainians continue to be sent to die for a failed proxy war, with Ukraine’s negotiating position getting worse day by day as it loses more territory

Here’s one of the atrocities your tax dollars, pounds, and euros went towards supporting today:

Israel bombed the UNRWA clinic in Jabalia, Northern Gaza.

At least 22 were killed, including 9 children.

‘Western values’ on display for the world to see

The US🇺🇸 has 19 B-2 bombers in its Air Force.

The US has deployed at least 6 of these B-2 Spirit bombers to Diego Garcia Air Base for a potential bombing of Iran🇮🇷.

The B-2 can carry a payload of up to 40,000 pounds, which is equivalent to 20 tons.

The B-2 can carry up to eighty 500-pound class (230 kg) Mk 82 JDAM GPS-guided bombs. 

It can also carry sixteen 2,400-pound (1,100 kg) B83 nuclear bombs.

To have moved this many B-2 bombers to Diego Garcia shows that in the event of a US-Israeli attack on Iran, they don’t just want to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, they want to wipe Iran off the map completely.

All the US perpetually seems to have on offer for the world is war, bloodshed, and chaos.
