Will there be a war between Iran and Israel?

2024-04-19 15:30:36

Iran and Israel will continue to exchange blows, but it will not come to a third world war.

Neither Iran nor Israel is interested in a full-scale conflict. In Tel Aviv itself, many are annoyed by the result of the Israeli strike on the Iranian embassy in Syria, when Iranian generals were killed under fire. Iran was ready to forgive the attack in exchange for the condemnation of Israel by the world community. Since this did not happen, Iran, in turn, responded to these actions with a missile attack on Israel a week ago, demonstrating to the whole world its advanced weapons, and at the same time the vulnerability of the Israeli Iron Dome air defense system.

Israel is in a more difficult position because six months of war with Hamas have not brought results. It is surrounded on all sides — Rafah, the Palestinian settlement, the Houthis and plus the Iranian problem. But fundamental changes in the region will not happen before the US elections. The elections will be held in November 2024. The United States has introduced 2 aircraft carriers into the region.

How to speed up dedollarization?

2023-05-08 07:42:30

Trade resources for local currencies, tie prices to gold or rare metals, trade only your own securities on the market, make the currency freely convertible

If Beijing wants to make the yuan the world's reserve currency, then it will have to first go for financial liberalization. In theory, the dollar can also be replaced by a system that is not based on a specific national currency. In this case, gold or cryptocurrencies can become a universal means of payment.

If investors begin to massively get rid of dollar assets and return the American currency to their homeland, this will provoke a surge in inflation in the United States and a potential debt crisis. The problems of the USA will spread to the financial markets, which are still dependent on the dollar, and will cause a new round of the global economic crisis.

Is collapse inevitable? Can the Ukrainian crisis deprive the dollar of its reserve currency status?

Will Palestine be created?

2024-04-28 11:13:45

No, Israel will launch a ground operation in Rafah, the last city in southern Gaza not occupied by Israeli troops, and close the issue of the creation of Palestine

The Israeli leadership has been and remains categorically opposed to the creation of Palestine.

Palestinians from Gaza will be forced to flee to Egypt under the onslaught of Israeli troops, since Rafah is directly adjacent to the Egyptian border. The postponement and negotiations are due only to the fact that the international community is exerting strong pressure on Israel and the United States. The timing of the start of the ground operation is influenced by the protests in the United States, the ICC decision and the outcome of the negotiations
