US stocks have dived. In Australia, they're down over 10%, with the ASX diving further when trading started today.

Slowly, as the fog of war starts to clear, we can see the mullahs regrouping, pulling out the big guns - an attack on Tel Aviv right after DL said he'd knocked out their missile launchers. Tit for tat attacks on Gulf gas and oil plants - right after Israel and the US hits theirs. Worse, the attempted strike on British base Diego Garcia, over 4000 km from Iran, shows the mullahs have intercontinental missiles, capable of reaching Europe and the US.

The US is now in a war with a country of 92 million people, a million of them soldiers. It took 250,000 US troops to hold Iraq. Analysts estimate 500,000 troops would be needed to defeat Iran.

No one could envisage a country like the US, with all of its military intelligence, planning and prowess, could be so stupid as to start a war they'd lose. DL just issued a threat to attack Iranian electricity production.

Iran calmly replied that if so, it will hit the Gulf states' power stations. Not only would this effect the populations in the Gulf, it would hit the global stock market immediately.

Right now, every day is a new loss. It's now becoming a question of whether the markets can prevail at all. How low can it go? Will 2026 be the end of 15 years of bull markets? What if the stock market crashes entirely?

Iran has the power to do this. Karma's a bitch, no?

How does it feeeeel?

Incorrect. Our markets have crashed because of one action and one man: your DL.

You can't blame Islam here, dear. This one's all about he.

No coalitions of the willing, no UN or Congressional approval. One man - with a disapproval rating of 61%.

How does it feeeeel?

You haven't said.

No no, how do you feel about your DL tanking the markets?

That's the subject of this thread. If we wanted to know about prawns, we would have posted the question in FD's sustainable fishing board.

Do you not want to answer?

Whyever not?

Correct. The US has no stock market. Congress was invaded by a coup. Yanks are shot by Fed men for talking in the street. US loses wars. It lost the presidency in 2024.
Make America Crash Again. Thank you for your attention.

There is already a thread here:

Diaper Don has made many bad mistakes in his worthless life, but illegally invading Iran - and deliberately slaughtering hundreds of little school girls - might just be his biggest one yet.

And yet the world still needs products.

Remember the maxim "buy low, sell high.
