And just like that we have reports of US bombings this morning.

It’s apparently classed as self defence, so not in breach of the ceasefire!

Obviously it’s time for some more market manipulation and more insider trading by the orange orangutan 🦧

(Ignoring the manipulation aspects) I find it quite interesting how naive "the Markets" are. Rest of World has long appreciated that when Trūmp posts on Truth Social, content is far from "truth" and nobody believes a word except "the Markets" who seem completely convinced without evidence and contrary to all past history.

And these "Markets" seem to hold vast amounts of our wealth, our pension funds, etc. yet they can't learn from experience, can't appreciate even recent history, etc. To me, "not fit for purpose" and not serving us well.

(And not ignoring the manipulation) Then add how easily they allow themselves to be manipulated in the blatant interests of a select group ... if they were a business they would have gone bust long ago.

Beggars belief the world is so dependent on this dysfunctional body.

Pre-emptive self-defence. That's defined under the internationally agreed terms known as an Israeli Ceasefire.

My post this morning was referencing the bombings. Apologies for not making it clearer.
"Self defence." Bollocks!
