POTUS clearly recognizes that the vast majority of Americans are disgusted with Israel. Strikingly, he seems confused about why that's the case.
Americans are evidently sick and tired of Israel bamboozling US administrations into Forever Wars. They had enough. So has our region.

🇺🇸 Trump: "We will impose sanctions on anyone who buys even a single drop of Iranian oil."
🇨🇳 China: "We have just signed a 25-year unlimited oil deal with Tehran."

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs:
"How many wars has China🇨🇳 been in, in the last 40 years? Let me count them…zero. Not one war in 40 years.”
The US has been at war and bombing other countries for approximately 229 years out of 250 years of its existence.
92% of the time throughout its existence, the US has been bombing, pillaging, stealing, and invading.
Brandon Weichert: ‘The US🇺🇸 was NOT supposed to be an adventurous IMPERIAL POWER going abroad in search of monsters to destroy.’
‘The reason I wrote the book is because last year, the Trump administration announced in their National Security Strategy memo and then again in their National Defense Strategy memo: judge us by the wars we don’t fight, not the wars we do fight. That’s what they said.
And we were going to be focusing, they said, on the Western Hemisphere.
Now, obviously, the Donroe Doctrine is not what I had in mind, but the idea that we were going to be doing Western Hemispheric defence on top of focusing on domestic issues here in the United States, that was what I thought was the Trump agenda, the Trump doctrine, if you will.
But then by February 28th, as you know, the whole thing changed. It’s as if the President didn’t even read his National Security Strategy memo.
So I felt compelled to write a book that reminded readers why we are not supposed to be this expeditionary, adventurous imperial power, going abroad in search of monsters to destroy, as John Quincy Adams once famously said, and we are supposed to be focused much closer to home.
And now it’s a tripolar system internationally, trending multipolar. You could already say it is multipolar, but really there’s three main powers right now that are military and economic, and that’s the United States, China, and Russia.
We need to have a better strategy than the one we’ve been using since 1991, because that one was predicated on hegemony. Well, we can’t be a hegemon anymore.
We have spheres of influence, and we’re going to need to enforce the spheres of influence. China’s doing that in their part of the world. Russia’s doing that in their part of the world. We haven’t been doing it in our part of the world.
And the key thing here is when I say enforce the sphere of influence, it’s not military first. It’s not send CIA paramilitaries to a country we don’t like in Latin America and knock off the country. The whole currency of the realm in 21st century international affairs is geoeconomics. It’s trade.
First and foremost, it’s the economy, and so you have to be able to make your first point of contact in terms of foreign policy the economic front. The United States used to be good at this.
This was what the founders wanted us to do. I quote George Washington effusively in the book. This goes back to the founding, a commercial republic, and that’s what we need to go back to. And unfortunately, under this President, we’ve lost sight of that completely.’

🇺🇸 As evidenced by the major blow dealt to the Republicans in the US midterm elections, the probability of war between the US and Iran is 20%. Therefore, the American public believes that war will not happen.

🇮🇷|MACH 7. THE INTERCEPTOR DOES NOT EXIST.
IRGC Aerospace Advisor, Brig. Gen. Balali:
"Our missiles hit at Mach 7. To stop them, the enemy needs even faster interceptors."
Read that sentence again. It is not a threat. It is a physics problem Washington cannot solve.
What Mach 7 Means
Mach 7 is 7 times the speed of sound. Roughly 8,640 km/h. 2,400 metres per second. 2.4 km every single second.
At that speed, a missile crosses the Strait of Hormuz in under 60 seconds. It crosses from launch to Tel Aviv in under 7 minutes. It crosses from launch to a carrier in the Gulf in under 90 seconds.
There is no human reaction time for that. There is only a machine that must see it, track it, calculate an intercept, launch, and hit a target moving at 2.4 km per second while that target is maneuvering.
That machine does not exist in the American inventory.
Why Interceptors Fail
American air defence is built for a different war.
Patriot PAC-3: Designed for Mach 3-4 ballistic missiles on a predictable arc. Against a maneuvering hypersonic glide vehicle, its kill window collapses to seconds.
THAAD: Designed for high-altitude exo-atmospheric intercept. Against a missile that stays low, glides, and changes course in the atmosphere, it is chasing a ghost.
Aegis SM-3 / SM-6: Designed for ships. A ship that must first detect, then track, then fire, while the missile is already inside its radar horizon. In the Strait, the horizon is 30 km. At Mach 7, that is 12 seconds.
To stop a Mach 7 maneuvering missile, you need an interceptor that flies at Mach 9-10, with a seeker that can survive plasma heating, with a datalink that can update in real time, and with a launcher that is already pointed in the right direction.
The US does not have it. Israel does not have it. No NATO state has it.
Balali did not say "we are strong." He said: your defence needs to be faster than our offence. It is not.
The Missile Behind the Quote
Balali is Aerospace Force advisor. He is not talking about a single system. He is talking about a family:
Fattah-1 and Fattah-2: Hypersonic glide vehicles, maneuverable in atmosphere, presented as unstoppable because they do not follow a ballistic arc.
Kheibar Shekan / Haj Qasem: Solid-fuel, maneuvering re-entry, designed to defeat Patriot batteries by changing trajectory in terminal phase.
Sejjil / Emad: Longer-range, high-speed re-entry, with decoys and maneuvering warheads.
All of them share the same logic: speed + maneuver = no intercept.
The 56 MQ-9s downed, the 6 MQM-170s harvested by electronic warfare over Qeshm, the 2 LUCAS drones seized those were the slow war. Balali is talking about the fast war.
What the Enemy Already Learned
The record is the receipt:
Ain al-Asad, 2020: Missiles hit despite Patriot presence. No intercept claimed.
Negev / Ramon / Tel Aviv, April and October 2024: Missiles penetrated Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow-2/3, THAAD, and Aegis. Videos showed impacts on airbases.
Hormuz, November 2026: Two tankers hit after violating the closure. No US Navy intercept stopped it. CENTCOM's attempts ended in humiliating defeats, in the IRGC Navy's words.
Fattah-2 test: Iranian state media: cannot be intercepted by any existing defence system. Washington never produced a video proving otherwise.
Balali is not announcing a new weapon. He is announcing that the old excuse "our defences will protect you" is finished.
The Doctrine
"Any helper becomes a legitimate target."
"Response will not be geographically limited."
"Geography will no longer have meaning."
That is the same week as Balali's quote. The Aerospace advisor gives the speed. The General Staff gives the geography. The Quds Force gives the front: Hormuz + Bab el-Mandeb as one front.
Mach 7 is the speed of that doctrine.

🚨 WARNING: SOMETHING EXTREMELY BAD JUST HAPPENED
Japan has dumped $160 BILLION in U.S. Treasuries after its stock market crashed 8% in just a few hours.
This is the largest treasury sell-off in decades.
They've officially hit the PANIC button.
Japan is sitting on a massive ¥30 TRILLION in bond losses.
And it's getting worse by the minute.
Over ¥21,000,000,000,000 has been wiped from Japan's stock market today.
This is NOT a normal market correction.
Something much bigger is happening behind the scenes.
Japan is aggressively selling U.S. Treasuries to stabilize the yen and prevent a total collapse.
Meanwhile, its gold reserves have climbed to an ALL-TIME HIGH.
Japan is reducing its exposure to dollar-based assets while continuing to accumulate gold.
And there's a clear reason behind it.
Japan is fighting to protect its currency.
The Bank of Japan is deploying its enormous foreign exchange reserves.
And U.S. Treasuries remain one of the largest and most liquid assets available.
But Japan isn't alone.
China is following a remarkably similar strategy.
China continues reducing its U.S. Treasury holdings while its gold reserves reach new ALL-TIME HIGHS.
Two of the world's largest economies are now moving in the same direction.
→ Japan is dumping U.S. Treasuries
→ Japan is expanding its gold reserves
→ China is dumping U.S. Treasuries
→ China is expanding its gold reserves
This is a major shift away from traditional dollar-based reserves.
And it's not necessarily because countries don't want dollars.
It's because they have NO OTHER OPTION.
The AI bubble is collapsing, and foreign markets are dumping every day.
China's AI stocks have collapsed nearly 50% in 3 months.
And this will extend far beyond Japan and China.
Japan has to save its own market and defend the yen.
China also wants to save its own market and gain financial independence.
And GOLD is becoming a central part of both strategies.
This is where the situation becomes extremely dangerous.
If Japan continues selling Treasuries, additional pressure will build across bond markets.
And China's selling will add even more pressure.
→ Increasing Treasury liquidations
→ Growing pressure on U.S. bond markets
→ Aggressive currency intervention
→ Accelerating gold accumulation
→ Declining dependence on the U.S. dollar
Japan isn't deliberately trying to destroy global markets.
They're trying to prevent a much larger financial crisis.
But those actions will create consequences throughout the global financial system.
And if other economies adopt the same strategy, the pressure on the U.S. market will intensify.
This is how the biggest market crash in history starts.
First, gradually.
Then, all at once.
And we're watching it all in real time.
I've spent decades studying financial markets and have called nearly every market top and bottom.
And I'm warning you right now:
The 2026-2027 cycle will be life-changing for those who are prepared.
Make sure you're one of them.
Follow and turn on notifications NOW.
Because by the time everyone else realizes what's happening, it will already be too late.
🚨 THIS WILL BE THE BIGGEST MARKET CRASH IN HISTORY
The warning signs are impossible to ignore.
1999 → Dot-com bubble → -78%
2007 → Housing bubble → -50%
2026 → AI bubble → -80%?
Different eras.
Different bubbles.
Same ending.
Every time, people believed every dip is for buying and the rally would last forever.
Every time, reality caught up.
Keep in mind:
I’ve spent 10+ years studying markets and calling tops and bottoms.
My next call will be posted here first.
Follow and turn on notifications before it’s too late.
Protect your capital.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Japan's Nikkei fell ~6% Nov 6 amid AI/tech selloff after US midterms, not an 8% hours-long crash with ¥21T wiped; no evidence supports claims of $160B US Treasury dump that day, ¥30T bond losses, or sudden coordinated gold surges by Japan/China.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran is quietly reconsidering a NUCLEAR DEAL with Washington.
According to the New York Times, Tehran is now reviewing concrete proposals from Qatari mediators, after weeks of refusing to negotiate.
And JD Vance is playing a surprisingly central role.
He opposed the war from the beginning, warned Trump about the consequences, and has now been pushing for direct talks with Iran.
Even Mohsen Rezaei, Iran's powerful security chief, is softening his position behind closed doors.
Publicly, he insists Washington must lift sanctions and ease its blockade BEFORE any nuclear negotiations.
Privately, he's already discussing the nuclear issue.
The biggest obstacle remains Iran's highly enriched uranium. Trump wants it surrendered. Tehran refuses to send it abroad, but has previously considered diluting it under international supervision.
So there may actually be room for a deal.
What's remarkable is that Vance spent months arguing AGAINST this war, only to find himself trying to negotiate an end to it after Republicans suffered a crushing midterm defeat.
Trump could still order another attack.
But perhaps losing an election has made diplomacy a little more appealing.

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 A senior Iranian lawmaker just asked Tehran to authorize NUCLEAR weapons if the US strikes again... for a bomb Iran says it supposedly doesn't have
The committee chairman also wants Iran out of the Non-Proliferation Treaty the day a strike lands, and warned any country lending airspace will "pay a heavy price," which covers Iraq, the Gulf states and everyone the Israeli jets overflew Monday.
The late supreme leader's fatwa called nuclear weapons forbidden; Netanyahu said Wednesday the son has "taken the safety off."
Nobody outside Tehran knows which is true, and a parliament asking permission to use a weapon it officially doesn't possess is either theater for the pressure track or the loudest public hint yet that the fatwa is gone.
Either reading hands the strike planners in Washington EXACTLY the argument they were looking for.

Advisor to the Supreme Leader on Military Affairs, Rahim Safavi:
"Iran is ready for new strikes from the United States and Israel. This time, in response, we will destroy internet and communication lines. We will destroy the main servers and data centers that serve the American army and are of strategic importance to the global economy.
In response to strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities, we will strike at the enemy's nuclear facilities.
If there is an attempt on the lives of Iranian leaders, we will also strike at political targets in the United States.
Iran will take many steps to escalate the situation, steps that it has not taken before.
We have never bluffed, and we are not going to do so now.
If Israel believes that by killing us, it can solve all its problems, it is deeply mistaken.
We will become martyrs, but the army will fulfill its mission.
We are ready for any scenario."

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Top Iranian Army’s Official:
“Should the US damage our infrastructure, Iran would use all its capabilities to completely destroy US economic assets and infrastructure, including undersea internet cables”
Israel and the United States will almost certainly attack Iran once again.
This will mark the final chapter of this war.
Through this attack, Trump and Netanyahu will fully carry out the threats they have made over the past few months—specifically, they will destroy Iran’s energy and oil infrastructure.
This is intended to inflict massive economic and social damage on the country, leaving millions of Iranians without electricity and rendering Iran unable to export oil.
Following this, Trump will declare victory and withdraw from the Strait of Hormuz—a presence that is currently causing him enormous financial losses.
Russia and China will, of course, reconstruct the Iranian infrastructure in record time, despite Trump’s claims that it would take ten years. It took China 20 years to build up the entire nation, lift 800 million people out of extreme poverty, and increase its GDP from $1 trillion to $16 trillion; Iran’s energy infrastructure will be sorted out in a maximum of 2 years.
In the meantime, Iran will stockpile vast quantities of weapons and ammunition, while making significant advancements in military equipment, communications, and logistics.
Within a maximum of five years, the country will have become such a formidable military power that the Gulf states and other Israel-aligned states will have no choice but to cooperate.
The noose around Israel will tighten significantly.

AAC Party Seeks Approval to Use Aso Rock Presidential Villa for Inauguration of Sowore’s 2027 Presidential Campaign Council
The African Action Congress (AAC) has formally written to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, requesting approval to hold the inauguration of its Presidential Campaign Council at the Presidential Villa, Aso Rock, Abuja, on November 11, 2026.
In a letter dated October 21, 2026, and signed by its National Secretary, Oshiokhue Philip Ikpेम ioghena, the party also requested food, drinks, and other logistical support for participants.
The AAC stated that its request was based on the principles of multiparty democracy, political inclusiveness, fairness, and equal treatment of political parties.
The party further referenced arrangements reportedly extended to the All Progressives Congress (APC) for a similar political engagement, arguing that public institutions should serve all Nigerians without partisan discrimination.
The Presidency has yet to respond to the request, according to the information contained in the letter.
