Under trump rules the conflict timer resets when bombs stop falling.

Trump is on the verge of defeating Iran and returning things to normal. Any day now.

But at what cost?

99% hitler strikes again

are markets still reacting to this shit?

I thought it wasn’t supposed to be that infectious. Did all the passengers have a group hug before they left?

Maybe the US regime has promised everyone they are going to get bailed out if everything crashes so no one cares.
