Yeah that would be great … and let’s not forget Afghanistan as well. Hard to make a false flag attack when our guys aren’t there anymore.
LONDON (Reuters) – British lawmakers are expected later on Thursday to approve legislation which will allow the country to leave the European Union on Jan. 31 with an exit deal, ending more than three years of wrangling over the terms of the unprecedented divorce.
At around 1700 GMT, Prime Minister Boris Johnson will turn the page on one of Britain’s deepest political crises in decades when parliament’s lower house votes to approve legislation that will implement an exit deal agreed with the EU last year.
Yeah, it really does seem Trump is trying to keep his word despite a ton of pressure from the neocons.
Always wary of false flags from the CIA-Mossad-MI-6 crew.
He would do well to make it a campaign promise to pull all troops out of Iraq and Syria during his second term.
When I sat down GLD was down $1.20 now down $.50, SLV $.24 now down $.11
Moving in the right direction anyway, hope it continues.
I guess the shares will let us know.
At least we’re not now involved in some giant new war in the ME!
I’m ready for the gold downturn to end … today would be fine. 🙂
OK – so maybe they weren’t all misses. Here’s the thing, Iran warned Iraq of the strikes well in advance, Iraq then notified Norway who notified the US. The US had 4 hours notice of the location of the strikes.
I guess if you intend to inflict maximum damage, you don’t send advance warning, just ask Soleimani. 🙂
Iran was saving face, Trump wisely let them.
Sucks for pm’s short term though.
Something different – “Wheels”
LOL 🙂
Those are misses because they were meant to miss and just didn’t.
Nope. Then the west will have to move all their ancient relics to the ME because the backwards people will be moving in building mosques. What will that be called? EU of Islam ? Islam of Canada? After Trumps gone United States of Islam? Nauseating.
I was reading something today and the guy was saying that in a few months or so one of Iran’s proxies will do some bloody bombing or attack and that will be the real revenge. Iran will deny any responsibility.
Looking at the aerial photos of the missile damage on the US base it sure doesn’t look like misses to me.
I’m sure there’s a lot of rogue militia in Iraq and other countries that weren’t exactly happy with the results of the missile strike. Likewise, I’m sure Israel would like an even greater US presence in the region and may not be satisfied with just taking out the General and not the Nuke sites. Pretty fluid situation.

I have a friend Zeev that was born and raised in Israel. I told him I think of Israel like a European colony, because it sounds like most of the people there came from Europe or USSR. He agreed telling me even his parents did migrate there.
Another view the place could be thought of like the Jamestown Virginia 1607 or Plymouth Rock colony in Massachusetts 1620. From there they expanded. Maybe over the next 100-200 years, they move the backward people on reservations, and Israel grows completely across the Middle East like the USA, a new country called the United States of Arabia, or U.S of Israel?
I think Iran is making nice cause they intend to rush into production their 1st nuke and will test it for all the world to see…then they will get very hostile…but that is a longer term event and doesn’t warrant my 10 day trade idea…which isn’t looking so hot as of 3:49pm
Would be crazy to re-escalate now after Trump is seemingly letting them off the hook.
They played it smart by intentionally missing those targets.
Trump played the whole game even smarter by getting rid of Soleimani. Huge win for Trump if both sides stand down.
The action in pm’s today sucks but it’s totally predictable. Pretty soon we’ll be hearing about more Repo-not QE.
As far as war goes, it’s up to Iran’s proxies and Israel to stand down now.
Read the alternative but some is not in place. They could get it from us too via ships guarded by marines like in the days of Jefferson who wasn’t gonna pay not to be robbed like the past weaklings of today but hunted them down instead.
That sounds like a problem. What would be the alternative? Hope they have a back up plan in WCS.
A serious shooting war in the ME would cut supplies worldwide, as no-one would insure the tankers, or send ’em in, apart from cowboys….the Straights of Hormuz are at their narrowest only 21 miles wide, 30 % of the worlds Nat Gas and 25 % of it’s crude passes daily……

Iran could make it impassable very easily and only a land invasion could really stop it.
BETTER LOAD UP ON THOSE JAN 17 VXX $18 calls for 9 or 10 or 11 bucks a piece before the close today as a just in case trade—why so far outa the money?? Cause this is a long-shot trade that is based on a geo-political event happening…VXX is at a new 52 wk low today—its high was 42.49…if action flared up in the next few days the DOW could open up down an ald 1000 or 1500 depending and u could see $25 or $30 in a hurry on VXX….I didn’t buy before Trumps speech and glad I didn’t
Looking at the crude and gold action now at 2:24pm…there seems to be no reason to be long volatility…but I’ll buy anyway before the close…
Sure seems like the shares have been overcooked a bit today.
Picked up some RGLD and WPM.
We’ll see what happens. Shouldn’t the DOW be up 500?
Warned before we aren’t as dependent on ME oil. Trump also announced we don’t need their oil. For decades we were buying their oil while preserving our own pretty much. I was thinking they would continue doing so until ME ran low first.
Now we have growing alternatives which is a good thing to look at when their is a mark up in oil demand as far as stocks but otherwise still not as efficient.
I’m guessing if things heated up it could still drive it up but not likely like 08 where it was starving people.
I know a doctor from Iran. He came her pre mass immigration when we took decent people instead of the fugitives. He’s one of the best doctors around. I actually feel for him right now.
Yep and think they don’t want to show their true colors about now.
