Ummm, there’s a couple more things that happened there aside from just the west screwing them for WW1

fomoandyoloandnogrow

Oh China providing Iran with high res satellite intel to kill US soldiers. And so WW3 begins

FluffyB12

I really don’t get why they don’t just end the Houthis with proper weaponry. The tech existed since WW1 and it isn’t like the Saudis have a local populace that cares about atrocities. It’s a head scratcher tbh

Red by close and WW3 this weekend?

Uzunzatu

No hikes. Iran and GCC will open both straits on Monday with generous tolls. Think about it, this is text book Mango. Fuck the situation up so badly it is intolerable for everyone, so they will be forced to fix it themselves. Mango will effectively surrender but finesse it as brokering a deal to stop a nuclear WW3. GCC will eat the cost because the alternative is being blockaded forever.

Obama wore a tan suit so we are now in WW3

Disastrous_Cold3705

I don’t think we are on our way to WW3 lol, shit is just a bit messy right now. War has been going on for as long as civilization, left and right it doesn’t matter who’s in charge. I don’t like how the gets happy when a conservative person dies though. Kirk, Graham, when they thought Mitch McConnell was dead they were celebrating.

Low_Plastic363

WW3 might be more of a technology and infrastructure war. There's no point in nuclear obliteration.

zenthial

You’re assuming that the almost infinite growth that we’ve seen since WW2 can continue ad infinitum, and also that US markets in particular can remain on-top, rather than another global power supplanting the US markets (and thus a leveraged SPY)

NotMe357

Fuck it! Let's crash the stock market and start WW3. Let's get it all over it.

bearhunter429

#The only war America won since WW2 is the Iraq war and that's because Saddam didn't have drones LMAO🤌✈️🏢✈️🏢

Low_Plastic363

Part of the fun is guessing which of the many global flare-ups will lead to WW3. Russia/Ukraine, China/Taiwan, Russia & China not-so-secretly supporting Iran v. U.S. which rolls into China-Russia-Iran-Yemen/U.S.-Israel.

Twitter: US earnings are breaking out of a 90-YEAR channel! Since 1935, corporate earnings grew 6.5%/year through: WW2, stagflation, oil shocks, the internet, COVID NOTHING broke the channel and sustained, until now These are estimates of course, but if it plays out (I think it will) then this is truly massive Understand how heavy this chart would be if it plays out: That channel absorbed every technology and every crisis of the modern era. The computer didn't break it. The internet didn't break it. They made companies grow, but always mean-reverting back to the same 6.5% line Both consensus estimates AND Deutsche Bank's own forecast sit ABOVE the channel into 2030. That means consensus is that THIS TIME IS DIFFERENT Why would this time actually be different? Because every previous technology made human workers more productive. AI is the first one that ADDS net new workers at scale Earnings are basically workers times productivity. For 90 years you could only grow the second variable. AI unlocks the first: infinite knowledge, digital employees you can spin up with a credit card and then we have physical ones (robots) coming next. That's not a productivity tool, that's a new labour supply with software margins We're figured out how to make software a labour replacement and that's probably the biggest thing to ever hit the world, in terms of productivity at least If you think a new form of intelligence and labour won't change the market's earnings power, you're not understanding what's happening here. The market is still pricing most companies like the 6.5% world is permanent and that's the opportunity that I see

Best president since WW2. Ferdinand Marcos bought votes before destroying the Philippines economy with corruption. Now they have to export maids because there's no decent work around the country.

SevereBake6

Not sure about the top of the world mentality. And a lot of people that experienced the WW1 in the trenches were everything but looking forward to a new war. The NSDAP didn't reach 50% of the popular vote. So all of the points are not really working to give me confidence that the US are not heading towards a 1933 reenactment

Potash. Crude. Electricity. Water. Lumber. If/when we cut the US off they are fucked. FUCKED FUCKED. I have always said, I will not join the military unless Canada is truly in Jeopardy, like WW type shit. If the US decides to invade us I will enlist 100 at 44 years old. Remembrance Day 2.0.

jerome-yellen

WW3 vibes right now with all the new attacks

MsMercyMain

We have a proud history of pulling stupid stunts like that. We renamed Sauerkraut in WW1, and WW1 indirectly caused Prohibition because of anti-German sentiment

Sea_Hold_2881

Fun trivia. In the early days of WW2 the US prohibited the export of planes to Europe. So the set up run ways that crossed Canadian border. Parked the planes near the border and let Canadian drag them across the border with farm trucks and horses.

Lowering the interest rates are very much possible and it makes sense you need heavy inflation to make the debt go down in value the government did it after WW2 no reason they won’t do it again

Calls on WW3.

fomoandyoloandnogrow

TreGet234

Housing only crashed big once in the last, what, 70 years? (Ignoring the great depression period and WW2 and whatnot) And only because it was specifically the one thing every regard was levered to the tits on. It genuinely can never crash again. Only if stocks crash so epically that we do enter another great depression.

Rock_or_Rol

Generals, admirals and army sec resigning. Troops literally jumping ship. Dollar knocking on death’s door. Bitch slapping a key nato member in the gulf with sanctions. Warships getting hit. Inflation and the diesel crack. Incredibly low munition stockpiles and low SPR. Increasing likelihood of nuclear weapon usage since WW2 while Russia pressuring east and west Europe and our allies in east Asia is increasingly vulnerable. China scooping up our dumped geopolitical diplomacy standing. Flagrant disregard of war powers. Congress: “this is fine. Don’t want to upset aipac or the 🥭 man before midterms!”

They are not Iranian numbers, they are literally numbers that come from every country that moves oil through the strait. What fucking news are you reading? \> Despite people like you falling for their BS Iran has not sunk a single ship in the strait or even scratched a US warship. Falling for who's bullshit? We can clearly see our Oil reserves are at their lowest level since WW2. It looks like the US is at historic lows too. This has hit every country in the world, There's a full on oil crisis in Australia. Japan is also fucked. Pretending everything is fine is absolutely nuts at this point

Stellar_Impulse

Youre comparing WW2 to what was a supposed to be a fee weeks long military operation. Of course its not in the same level, but its also gotten out of their hands eith no real plan.

GenericDigitalAvatar

It's not even, though. Deployments in Vietnam were longer than Iran. Deployments in WW2 were longer than Vietnam.

Saltlife_Junkie

Many port calls. Not saying that. I’m saying I could do 200 plus without a call standing on my dick. I don’t give a fuck what you say. I would do it. My dad was in WW2 Navy in the Pacific from 1940-1946. His discharge hangs 1 in above mine for a reason. Fuck then pussies. I would follow orders not try to kill myself.

climb4fun

Useful idiot to the unelected and unqualified cabinet members and advisors like Stephen Miller. Trump's aggressive, confrontational intl politics and zero-sum game mentality are the first steps to a bitterly divided world and to WW3.

Krammsy

Anything to avoid taxing the wealthy. He's doing what Germany did after WW1. It didn't end well.

My guess is it shoots up in the morning +.6%, drops hard to flat/slightly negative, then bounces back eod to +.3-.4%. Then Tuesday will be another giant shrek dick back to near ATH barring WW3.

scanline-wyvern

There is a lot less risk to refill when you haven't started WW3 surprisingly

FuelzPerGallon

You're claiming we're producing ammo faster than we did at the height of WW2? Sure buddy

LostMallDoll

We're already in WW3 aren't we? China joining will just be a formality atp. Puts on young men.

KieferSutherland

The US can't and won't inflate away the debt. We can't grow our way out of our deficits. There's too much and this isn't post WW2. Bond yields would spike. Markets aren't dumb. Over half of fed spending carries COLA. Short term treasuries will mature and new debt will be at higher and higher interest rates. It would make everything so much worse. It's not going to happen.

Low-Cartographer-429

Good point about China and WW3. If TSM is undervalued due to geopolitical risk, that's a risk I'm willing to take and profit from. Besides, TSM is building fabs in Arizona, Japan, and Germany. As those progress, that may de-risk TSM sufficiently that the risk discount fades over time. I think it's a bit of theater, because apparently there's a Taiwanese law requiring the newest, smallest node manufacturing to remain in Taiwan. But like you said, it's highly improbably China's going to invade due to the economic consequences.

Fleazapper

TSM wins no matter who wins the AI race. I hold it and looking around at my other AI related holdings I’m convinced more and more I should concentrate my investments in it. As far as geopolitical risk, if China were to move it would spark WW3.

My other comment: >The difference is Europe while it has a few bad apples, overall has much stronger fiscal policy now. Some with extremely low debt and even surpluses. All while arguably caring for their citizens better than we are. >Given we have war time deficits not seen since WW2 during peace time, the world is right to be concerned about us. >Really there are only two countries people are truly concerned with currently and its Japan + the US with huge global ramifications.

Sufficient_Habit5091

The difference is Europe while it has a few bad apples, overall has much stronger fiscal policy now. Some with extremely low debt and even surpluses. All while arguably caring for their citizens better than we are. Given we have war time deficits not seen since WW2 during peace time, the world is right to be concerned about us. Really there are only two countries people are truly concerned with currently and its Japan + the US with huge global ramifications.

The good old days when we could laugh at dementia patients instead of being afraid they'd start WW3.

LostMallDoll

WW3 might be a thing

StrangeInsanity

Ahh I don't want to get into who "civilized" who. That's gonna lead to a different rabbit hole. But based on history, slavery definitely did not end because of Europeans, quite the contrary, actually. Slavery began because of them, and they don't get to take "moral" credit for ending it after the colonies fought for their independence after WW2. "That area of the world" is where it is because it was fucked with by other countries for multiple generations. Almost every country in that region is either a French, English or a Dutch colony. All because of it's natural resources.

Onnimation

Y'all don't realize we are in the precipise of WW3... China supplying Iran with weapons and making escalation claims that they will protect their own interest. How do you think US will get out of this hyperinflation and dollar devaluation? Yes... War. Boots on the grounds after Midterms is not a meme

WW2's end brought fabians and nazis wolves in sheeps clothing who have intentionally destroyed a free republic with war and debt

jjwhitaker

> Golden Age of America People forgot (or were never taught) that the golden age was golden for a handful of extremely wealthy while most of America suffered constant cycling recessions, poor access to medical care, minimal education, constant war, and more. It wasn't until about 1950 that the US was an established economic powerhouse (due to WW2 destroying most other nations), far after the 'Golden Age' of economic abuse ex railroads and more. And then it took another few decades to guarantee the right to vote to non whites. Took until the 70s to allow women to have their own bank accounts. It's easy to spot educated people. They don't support Trump or fascism.

TechnicalSleep7501

America is unique they made NATO countries, Japan, Korea all US colonies. That is American way of having colonies. Traditional way of having colonies went out of fashion during WW2. US General decide the fate of of NATO, Japan and South Korea armies due to command of chain. I plan to be that general one day.

Its not bullish, but this market is on another level of retarded, that even if WW3 starts, shit will still find a way to go up. Play what is in front of you and not what you think the market should be. Just don't go full retard.

Somewhere out there in the world is a documentary about the prostitutes who worked in Pearl Harbor during WW2. Apparently they could do 50-60 sailors an hour.

Alepman

Ironically, the US was seen as a good anti-colonial Western nation in the Middle East, and many American archaeologists and scholars built facilities in Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon. Then everything went downhill after WW2 thanks to Truman

MakkaCha

If Kharg is destroyed the current gas prices at the pump will look like chump change. Iran may not have nuclear weapons but China and Russia do and probably more than willing to sell to them. WW3 inevitable due to a pedophile president not wanting his open secrets out in the open.

Pete26l96

Drone stocks are gonna be such an obvious play in hindsight, 2-3 years from now. Donny has pretty much increased global instability / tensions to levels not seen since WW2 and every country seems to be increasing defense spend at unprecedented levels.

SmellAcordingly

> the realistic way is rebuilding relationships with China That's not something that can properly happen. Since the late 80's the CCP narrative is the "never forgive the foreigners for what they did to us" (previously it was a victor narrative). The government specifically leaves historic sites destroyed by foreign forces as ruins, while the order of magnitude more things that were damaged or destroyed during the cultural revolution are rebuilt and they pretend like nothing ever bad happened to them. Even if Japan takes accountability for what it did during WW2 China will not stop until it achieves what it considers revenge.

Specific-Path3179

If there's any cause worth fighting WW3 for, defending Israel is a worthy one. I believe it's the duty of every God-fearing American to live and die for Israel.

Actual WW3

MrDinglehut

My Uncle was in the Merchant Marine during WW2 and his ship impacted another ship in New York Harbor. They still had to go along with the rest of the ships in the convoy. His ship could not keep up and was never heard from again. Radio silence means no SOS would be sent. They all drowned alone in the dark. It sucked for a lot of people then as it does now. War is worse than hell because theoretically people did something to be sent to hell while war has plenty of people that never did anything but are still involved.

ConfusedChild4444

I would caution against using wisdom from the last century in the current one. The 1930s (when Graham cut his teeth) were a completely different time than 2026. Just Glass-Steagall, Basel III, 401ks, index funds, and Fed Reserve independence from the executive make this a completely different world. And there are even more changes on top of these like WW2, Bretton Woods, the gold standard, etc. Bull markets last far longer than they did back then and are more resilient even if the underlying economy is going through shocks.

Christosconst

My bets for WW3 are in 2028

Electrical_Panda_326

Yep, they've been doing to since the end of WW2. The alternative is to increase taxes or reduce spending and we know it's not going to happen. So we are going to hear loads of speeches stating that they are committed to fight with inflation, but will let the inflation "eat" the debt.

UnlikelyIntrepid

After 9/11 the Canadian military contributed 40,000 troops to Operation Enduring Freedom.  As a percentage of population this is roughly half the amount of troops as the US sent.   The Royal Canadian Navy had its largest deployment since WW2 in support of the US counter terrorism operations.   Don’t be so quick to forget our friends 

flyingdutchmnn

South Korea is threatened by North Korea and Japan is not allowed to have an army of significance since WW2. Has it crossed your mind that the US is there for their own interests? You think countries were pleading for that or something? Just like US bases in Europe are for their operations in the entire hemisphere. Without those bases US has no country they could invade lol

PaperHandsTheDip

Most recent one I'm aware of is the US trying to rename lake Ontario to lake America. America is literally trying to annex Canada now (& has threatened to for it's other allies too). It has the highest potential of any country to start WW3 at the moment imo. At least it takes eyes away from the debt crisis ig.

Unique_Alps_9948

2008 was a -55 percent crash peak to trough, we have one of those about every 40 years. We aren’t nearly there yet. We will have a crash and that crash will probably be brought on by a black swan, I’m betting on a giant west coast earthquake to kick it off, like a 1906 San Fran earthquake scenario. Then I dunno what. We would have to extinguish the US dollar and create all new currency like post WW2 Germany. (Japan came back from complete devastation also in 1946 to be the greatest economy on earth by 1985). Truth be told if we did collapse, long term, it probably would be good for us. Anyway why worry about it, when it happens we are all fucked. If you want to truly prepare start buying things you can trade for now. Whiskey, cigarettes, chickens, bullets. Everything else will be worthless. Think “book of Eli” shit here.

Unique_Alps_9948

All money is imaginary. Except precious metals. Especially since we went off the gold standard and since we hit 40T in national debt. A dollar is worth what people think it is. We are headed to some post WW2 Bismarck scenario but again not just yet. Our debt is no longer sustainable. Especially with f-tard McGee steering the ship. I say we have a good year before shit collapses. Why? Because most collapses are discovered about two years before they collapse. The RE market collapse was announced in Fortune magazine in 2005. It didn’t collapse until 9/2007 and then through 3/2009. We came out ok on the other end due to massive government intervention. I don’t know we have a lot of those left in us.
