The fall of Rome in real time:


The fall of Rome in real time.

America.

We are watching it happen.

Just saw a tweet right now

The Pentagon and National Security Council severely underestimated Iran’s ability to close the Strait of Hormuz.

We are run by fools.

As one of my friends told me, Trump is Nero.

Here’s an overview why.

‘Nero was a 1st century Roman emperor infamous for cruelty, vanity, and catastrophic misrule.

People compare him to Trump because both of them are seen as narcissistic authoritarian populists who mishandle crises and scapegoat enemies.’

Don’t think he’s wrong.

Trump has screwed this all up.

Made the biggest political mistake of his life.

Probably the biggest one in American history.

He may have set off the chain reaction to the next Great Depression.

He was coerced into bombing Iran by Jared Kushner, Steve Wicoff and Marco Rubio. 

Here’s him saying that.

Here’s also AIPAC saying that Marco Rubio is an Israeli asset.

Here’s also Marco Rubio saying it was Israel.

Israel pushed Trump into this war.

It’s super clear for anyone with common sense and a brain.

Many believe that Trump did this to hide the Epstein files.

I’m one of those.

But holy shit, this guy completely screwed it up.

He’s pushed America to the brink of destruction.

Iran showed the world.

America is a paper tiger.

They have the largest military in the world.

Spend trillions of dollars.

And yet they can’t deal with $50k drones.

Watch this to understand how Iran has been so effective.

They are beating their enemies on cost.

Asymmetric warfare.

Bleed the enemy out.

America spends billions on interceptors while Iran spends 50k at its cheapest.

Only it has modern technology.

Hypersonic missiles.

Missiles that no Iron Dome can defend.

Iran has been preparing for this war for 40 years.

Just as long as Netanyahu has been alive.

Remember, it’s been his dream for 40 years, as he’s said.

He’s wanted millions of people to die.

And Trump let him do it.

He was stupid enough to actually do it.

And how did he start it?

By bombing a girls' school.

Killing 160 kids.

But not just that.

They double-tapped it.

Double-tapped in military terms, is when you bomb a site, wait for people to come find their loved ones, and then bomb it again.

Israel is famous for this.

They did it all over Gaza.

Now here’s America doing the same.

While Trump is lying to the world saying it wasn’t the US.

Even when his own military says that it was.

The Zionist assets around him convinced him this was going to be a quick regime change war.

Just like Venezuela.

Take out the leader and everything else will break.

Only Iran is not Venezuela.

Like I said, they have been preparing for this war for 40+ years.

Say what you want about the oppressive regime. 

A lot of Iranian diaspora outside Iran hate them.

Makes sense for what they’ve done and how hardline they’ve been.

But they are now in the fight for their lives.

The fight for survival.

The fight for their homeland.

Persia has been standing for thousands of years.

It is an old civilization.

And here you have a relatively new one wanting to bomb it into the Stone Age.

Just like they did with Gaza.

Just like they’re trying to do in Lebanon.

Only Iran is not those places.

It is formidable.

It is strong.

It is a fortress.

And now, they have played the Trump card.

Pun intended.

They have choked the world.

Closing the Strait of Hormuz.

One of the most important geopolitical shipping choke points in the world.

20% of the world’s oil goes through there.

But it’s not just oil.

It’s chemicals.

Fertilizer.

Wheat.

Commodities.

Helium.

Things that everyone needs to function.

It’s the input to the equipment.

Packaging.

Appliances.

Cars.

Building materials.

Electronics.

Clothes.

Drugs.

And food.

Everything society needs to survive.

All held up.

Not just held up, but bombed.

Israel and the US went after Iran’s energy.

So what did Iran do?

Fire back at countries all over the Gulf.


Especially the ones holding American bases.

The ones allowing America to continue to attack.

Bahrain.

Kuwait.

Oman.

Dubai.

These places are on fire.

These countries produce a lot of oil for Europe, Africa and Asia.

They also reinvest all those dollars they may from oil back into America.

Back into American treasuries and the American stock market.

What happens when they decide to pull out?

Which they’ve already been discussing.

Now everyone in those countries is stuck.

We are going to have a commodity supercycle.

Just at the worst time.

Everything is about to get more expensive.

EVERYTHING.

The inflationary shock of the 1970s is repeating itself.

Look at this chart.

Inflation is coming roaring back.

Only now everything is overleveraged.

The Americans think they can keep the lid on.

On the price of oil.

On the price of gold.

On the price of silver.

But they are losing their grip.

They can’t price cap.

And if they try, like they did in the 70s, it will make everything worse.

A lot of people will suffer.

Billions.

Because of this man’s actions.

This man in the White House who was dragged into bombing a country by a genocidal war criminal.

Who murdered 160 girls.

All so they wouldn’t release tapes of him killing and raping children.

What an insane world we live in.

Inflation is coming back.

Back in a huge way.

Just wait till Americans start feeling the pinch.

They’ll watch oil skyrocket.

They’ll watch food not come to their grocery stores.

They’ll see empty shelves.

They’ll see people defaulting.

People getting laid off.

People not being afford their houses.

People being gunned down by the government for exercising their right to protest.

It’s coming.

Soon.

Trump has accelerated it.

He’s lit the fire.

Rome is starting to burn.

It’s a small fire.

Can only see it one area.

A few trees

But most people don’t see the whole forest.

Except for those who study history.

Ray Dalio has said this for years.

America is cratering.

It’s on the brink of collapse.

Spending far too much money on wars it doesn’t need to be involved in, while not investing in its own population.

What does that look like?

I’m not sure.

All I know is it won’t be good.

Won’t be good for Americans.

Won’t be good for the world.

This is how history works.


It’s happened before.

It will happen again.

It’s just sad to see so many suffer at the hands of so few.

The ones in charge who don’t appreciate the power that they hold.

And how their idiotic decisions affect billions of people.

Trump is Nero.

We’re watching the fall of Rome in real time.

Hope we make it.
