News Date: March 9, 2026

At the start of the conflict, Donald Trump demanded “UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER” from Iran, saying there would be no deal otherwise.
Now the tone seems to shift toward the possibility that the war could soon end.
So the question remains: capitulation… or a strategic bluff? ♟️ And another one: is this also about control over oil? 🛢️
Trump often acts like a political Lone Ranger—bold ultimatums, sudden turns, and unexpected diversions.
After all, in love and war there are no rules… and in geopolitics, even a small mistake can be seen as weakness. 🌍⚖️

President Donald Trump "All Currencies will be on an Even Level Playing Field"

All Currencies will be on an Even Level Playing Field much sooner than most people understand or think.

US Sanctions Risking systemic collapse

Russia could ask for rubles or gold in exchange for energy. If that occurred Europe would have little choice. The real leverage in the Petrodollar system is on the 'petro' side.
It will be interesting to see how this develops. If energy payments begin moving outside of the SWIFT system, then the Petrodollar will be severely damaged.
Regardless, it's going to be disruptive and we're going to see additional problems. Very likely we will see further money printing and more stagflation.
The United States' attempts to simultaneously take on both Russia and China is a bad idea. We're forcing the two of them together while Europe is trying to play both sides. This situation will end with China and Russia gaining status.
Russian citizens have also been buying gold. This crisis will hurt their citizens, but this isn't Russia's first rodeo. The fact that Putin has done this either means he's lost his mind or he has a plan and found a window of opportunity.
We could see serious spillover effects on bonds and real yields.
The United States can't afford higher rates, and they can't remove Russia's oil without destroying their own markets.
We could see big changes should Russia use their gold as leverage. Possible scenarios that could occur should gold be revalued.

WH can take executive action on the stimulus anyway

Congress could agree on the stimulus package deal Friday but Trump floats executive action even if stimulus deal is reached.
White House is finalizing a series of executive orders addressing key coronavirus stimulus priorities if negotiations with Congress fall apart.
"I wouldn't be surprised that, if something gets left off the table, we'd be like "we can take this executive action too and be able to win on it anyway," one official said.
