Less Regulations Coming!

On the Donald's decision on removing the sanctions on Russia's oil exports, this has not been yet approved. I speculate that this is only a trick to create a distraction on the real intention of the Donald. This intention is to create a setting where the world will need American oil heheheheeh.

Everyone should be very much aware that America is the leading producer of oil in the world which as achieved by the Donald on his first term.

I completely agree with you on this. But I see great hypocrisy in Trump demanding that the coalition ensure the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormud, while he himself benefits from keeping the strait closed for as long as possible. At $100, American oil fields would be profitable, but then the war in the East would have to continue for a long time. And no one cares that many people will die of hunger.

You're right, i believe for Trump, it is all about America, 'making America great again', lol. This war in Iran and subsequent blockage of the Strait of Hormuz is making life harder for people around the world as energy prices have risen and obviously the knock-on effect is also severe, as the price of transportation, food, etc, has also soared.

Trump claims the war is already over, but that doesn't seem to be the case, but the sooner it is, the better for everyone around the world.

@Z-tight. I do not want to go to the speculation subforum and create a thread that would declare that this Iran war that is causing very high fuel and energy prices will cause a big short type of occurrence, however, there is a higher chance that we might witness this.

In any case, we have 2 good news updates!



The Senate's stalled crypto market structure bill is making progress behind-the-scenes, the chairman of the body's Banking Committee said Tuesday.

Senator Tim Scott, who heads the banking panel overseeing the market structure bill, said at the Digital Chamber's DC Blockchain Summit that lawmakers may see a new draft of at least stablecoin language as soon as this week.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission issued a landmark interpretation of federal securities laws on Tuesday that laid out rules for issuers of virtually all crypto assets.

Broadly speaking, the new guidance sorts crypto assets into two categories: tokenised securities and so-called non-security crypto assets.

The SEC’s interpretation creates four categories of non-security crypto assets: digital commodities, digital collectibles, digital tools, and payment stablecoins.

Crypto assets considered digital commodities under the SEC’s new interpretation include Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP, and Doge.

I'm even afraid to guess what will happen next. If the US launches a ground operation in Iran, China will be forced to invade Taiwan to control a vital trade route. The US will no longer have the strength to fight China or help Taiwan. We'll see not only high oil prices, but also electronics prices. Taiwan has many large factories that will be destroyed.

A few days ago the sec and the cftc reached a memorandum of understanding to collaborate in order to perform their duties efficiently. For a long time these agencies have often been at loggerheads as to whose role and responsibility it is to do what.

On that note, it is not bad at all that the clarity act is making progress. When it becomes law, i believe it is going to eliminate a lot of uncertainties as to how digital assets are regulated and provide a clear framework to follow. A lot of people would agree that it is much better that the previous administrations style of regulation by enforcement.

I reckon if America and China will not go to war if China will invade Taiwan, this would be a very good setting for all countries except America ehehehehe. A war between these countries will certainly be the beginning for world war 3. I do not want this. I want to die peacefully, thank you hehe.

@Z-tight. However, I am afraid that the passage of the clarity act will be a sell the news occurrence.

The US doesn't have the resources for a war with China. China outnumbers the US economically, has a larger population, and possesses nuclear weapons. The US Navy will only be able to watch from the sidelines as the Chinese army seizes Taiwan.
Although the US officially has no military bases in Taiwan, it is actively supplying weapons there. And we know how that ends.

@zasad@. We can only speculate what China will do. They also cannot risk the invasion on Taiwan because this will also strengthen the unity of Europe and Asia with America which will isolate China and everyone who will declare their support on the Chinese invasion. This would certainly imply sanctions on anything that was made in China.

I reckon the only countries that will openly support China on this invasion are North Korea and maybe Russia. However, what would this appear like? Is this something similar to the allied forces vs. the axis forces of world war 2?

Let’s imagine that the US launches a ground operation in Iran. Russia and China would come to Iran’s aid. This would bring the vast oil and gas market of the East to a standstill.

Asia is heavily dependent on China; I don’t think they would impose sanctions. Europe has cut off most of its trade relations with Russia, and sanctions against China would not be a shot in the foot, but a shot in the gut. If I'm wrong, please point out where I'm wrong.

Russia do not have the resources to engage in another war right now. They are still busy with their own battle with Ukraine, and that war has taken a lot out of them, coupled with the sanctions imposed that is also affecting them economically. As for China, i am not sure they would be so quick to be drawn into a wider war, countries are reluctant to do that these days because of what it could cost them.

It depends on the price of oil.
I am from Russia and I will tell you that there will be many more people who want to fight with America. Neither Russia nor China will go to war, but they will help with technology, intelligence data, weapons, specialists, and so on.
China has no choice, since Iran and neighboring countries contain more than 50% of the world's proven oil reserves. If China loses access to this, then its economy will begin to die.

Hehehehe there is nothing to imagine because America has attacked already and is the Chinamen and the Russians sending their own planes and ships to help Iran? They are not. They might be helping secretly Iran only in ammunitions and maybe also missiles. But this is not open support.

The invasion of Taiwan will be different. If there will be a successful invasion, I predict that America will also make their own attack for the liberation of Taiwan. This will be the beginnings of world war 3. Japan, Australia, South Korea and other Asian allies of America will support this.

In modern politics, directly harming your opponents is not customary.
America has already defeated Iran 10 times on social media, but Iran doesn't know it yet. Probably because of the internet shutdown

I can't imagine several US carrier battle groups attacking China's massive navy.
Look up the Australian Navy; you'll laugh. When was the last time the Australian army fought? China is very different from the Taliban in Afghanistan, but even there, the US lost.

[Z-tight]

I can't as well. One thing to note is that every country tries its possible best to avoid conflict, especially when it is with nations of equal strength or at least near-equal strength. America wouldn't attack a very powerful country the way they attacked Iran, because even in the event of a possible victory, the consequences would be dire. It would almost be a pyrrhic victory.

This will be the beginnings of world war 3. Japan, Australia, South Korea and other Asian allies of America will support this.

We are far away from world war III, even if many people think otherwise. Nowadays, nations are reluctant to be drawn into a wider war, there is also more advocacy for diplomacy and resolution, rather than resorting to brazen attacks and conflicts.

When I was in the army, officers told us that a successful attack requires a minimum 3-to-1 superiority in manpower and military equipment. The US doesn't have that.
The US doesn't have the resources to attack China; the most they can do is supply Taiwan with weapons. I don't yet understand the US's true motives for attacking Iran; there's a lot of debate going on right now because there's very little information coming out of Iran.
