Trump thinks he is Hitler invading the Soviet Union:

On social media, President Donald Trump said, “There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started. If that happens, the Islamic Republic will no longer exist.”

Just like Hitler, Trump is always declaring he won (or soon will) because of all the dead Russians, or in Trump's case, dead Iranians. But Stalin didn't care about how many millions of Russians died, and the Grand Ayatollah doesn't care if a few thousand more Iranians die in his overpopulated country.

“It’s a very strong deal,” Trump said at the G7 summit. “Nobody knows what it is, but it’s very strong.” The key to a strong deal is not knowing what's in it.

The Humbling of the Once Almighty Dollar

Another consequence of Trump’s debacle in Iran

Paul Krugman
Jun 29, 2026

https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-humbling-of-the-once-almighty

Donald Trump’s stunning failure in Iran has weakened America on many fronts. The world now perceives us as neither a reliable ally nor an invincible enemy, with an extortionately expensive military that is losing its best and brightest to Pete Hegseth’s prejudice and incompetence. We are now four months into a war that was supposed to last a couple of weeks.There is no end in sight as strikes and counter-strikes continue despite Trump’s farcical proclamations of American victory and Iranian surrender. Sixteen months into his presidency, Trump has squandered all of America’s credibility with the rest of the world.

So let me add one more item to the tally of destruction: The supremacy of the dollar, the pre-eminent tool in America’s toolbox of global financial power, has been seriously damaged by the rise of alternative payment systems – a rise that was greatly hastened by the Iran war.

Let me be clear that I don’t mean that the dollar is close to losing its dominant role in global business. And I am definitely not claiming that the dollar’s weakened status will make the United States substantially poorer.

Instead, what I am talking about is the loss of a non-military tool of coercion — the power to punish that the dominant role of the dollar in international financial transactions gave the United States. That power is now greatly diminished because Trump’s Iran war demonstrated to other nations that they can bypass the dollar-centered world payments system — largely thanks to China.

Let me provide context by talking about the dollar’s global role.

The dollar’s importance in international financial transactions far outweighs the U.S. economy’s global importance. America is by no means a dominant force in world trade or world GDP. There are, in fact, three roughly comparable-sized economic superpowers in today’s world: China, the United States, and the European Union. However, the U.S. dollar does play a dominant role in world finance. There are multiple aspects to this role, which I discussed at length in April. But one number makes the point: Last year 89 percent of foreign exchange transactions — transactions in which one nation’s currency is exchanged for another — involved U.S. dollars.

How is this possible, when the U.S. share of world exports is only around 10 percent? The answer is that the dollar is the world’s “vehicle currency” — the currency businesses use to make transits between other currencies. A bank that wants to exchange, say, Indian rupees for British pounds generally won’t try to find a counterparty who wants to make the reverse trade. It will, instead, sell rupees for dollars and then use the dollars to buy pounds.

Why does everyone use dollars? Because so many other people and businesses use dollars, which makes markets in dollars far more liquid and efficient than markets in any other currency. As a classic old paper by Charles Kindleberger pointed out, the dollar’s role as a global currency is similar to the role of English as a global business language: Everyone speaks English because everyone else does. When people warn that the dollar is at imminent risk of losing its status to, say, the Chinese yuan, my response is to ask how long they think it will be before businesspeople around the world begin making deals in Mandarin.

Furthermore, the economic advantage to the U.S. of owning the premier global currency — our “exorbitant privilege,” a term coined by Valéry Giscard d’Estaing in the 1960s — is not, despite what one sometimes hears, essential to U.S. prosperity. Our overall economic strength rests not on the role of the dollar but on our productivity and our leadership in science and technology. (The Trump administration is doing its best to destroy the latter, but that’s another story.)

What dollar dominance does do, however, is give America a powerful economic weapon against other nations. Transactions that involve dollar payments normally require transferring money between U.S. banks — which means that they are visible to and can be blocked by U.S. authorities. In the words of Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman, authors of Underground Empire: How America Weaponized the World Economy, the dollar’s role gives the U.S. government a “panopticon” — it can see everything — and a “chokepoint” — it can cut nations off from the world economy, a power it demonstrated most notably by imposing sanctions on Iran over the years. These sanctions played a key role in getting Iran to sign President Obama’s 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, in which Iran agreed to limit its nuclear program in return for a relaxation of sanctions.

Donald Trump ripped up the JCPOA, which he derided as a terrible deal. Now the Iranian regime is in a much stronger position than it was under the JCPOA. Yet we should also recognize that while the U.S. has suffered a military failure, it has also suffered a financial power failure. China has used the war to strengthen an alternative global payments system that bypasses the dollar — and hence allows governments that are at odds with America to evade both U.S. surveillance and U.S. sanctions.

As the Wall Street Journal recently explained, Iran was able to continue selling oil (until the U.S. temporarily imposed a military blockade) and buying essential imports, despite U.S. financial sanctions, by taking payment in yuan and using those yuan to buy Chinese goods. Ships that paid Iran for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz also paid in yuan (or in cryptocurrency, whose only real use case remains criminal activity.) The details are complicated, but using yuan essentially allows those designated by the U.S. government as rogue actors to fly under our financial radar.

It’s true that Iran and Russia had significantly increased their yuan-based transactions before the war began. But the war offered an object lesson in the usefulness of the yuan as an alternative currency. Other nations, including the United Arab Emirates, are now considering accepting payment in yuan. And the war has also given a boost to China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS), an alternative to SWIFT, the Belgium-based but effectively U.S.-controlled system that still settles the great bulk of international transactions.

I don’t want to overstate the case here. The dollar’s role as the dominant currency for ordinary business is not under threat. A new article in Foreign Policy by Agathe Demarais is titled “China’s de-dollarization drive has hit a wall.” It points out that overall use both of CIPS and of yuan remain quite modest compared with the SWIFT/dollar system. Doing business in dollars remains easier and cheaper than using any other currency, and will remain so unless U.S. policy becomes even more self-destructive.

Yet something important has happened. The Iran debacle has demonstrated that using dollars and retaining access to the U.S. banking system, while convenient, aren’t necessary. Iran’s ability to withstand American pressure has demonstrated that U.S. sanctions are a lot less effective than in the past given that rogue actors can use the yuan and CIPS as a work-around. And as the Gulf States’ actions show, even countries that are U.S. allies are now considering signing onto the Chinese payment system.

As I wrote a few weeks ago, recent events — not just the failed war on Iran but the limited effects of Trump’s tariffs and, in a different way, Ukraine’s survival without U.S. aid — have shown that America is now an inessential nation. Trump thought that throwing America’s weight around would show the world how powerful he is. Instead, he made us weaker and the world knows it.

China has emerged as the sole winner in Asia from the Strait of Hormuz crisis, according to a report published on Tuesday. https://straitofhormuz.theasiagroup.com/about/

The report by the Asia Group thinktank looked at Asia’s largest economies – China, India, Japan and South Korea – as well as emerging markets across South-East Asia. The researchers mapped the economic and political repercussions of the crisis and its impacts across key sectors, including manufacturing, energy and agriculture.

They concluded that China was a clear winner from the crisis caused by Donald Trump’s foray into the Middle East.

The country’s large stockpiles of oil and the hugely ambitious rollout of renewable energy mean it has been less exposed to the energy shock than other countries. Beijing is now gaining from the global solar and EV push.

Midweek Update #17

Phillips P. OBrien
Jul 01, 2026

https://phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/midweek-update-17-the-most-dang
erous

Another Week Of Weakness

Well, the extraordinary weakness of the USA in the Gulf was confirmed this week. The Iranians seem to be deliberately stringing the administration along knowing that Trump has little leverage at the present time. The Iranians are openly doing things that Trump said they would never do. This includes such things as planning for tolls in the Strait (maybe with Oman or maybe unilaterally), openly musing about procuring an Iranian nuclear weapon, and rebuilding its military strength in such crucial areas as ballistic missiles and air defense.

The Iranians even flexed their muscles by deliberately attacking an oil tanker that tried to transit the Strait outside of their control. Trump’s response was weakness in a bottle. He made the worst genocidal threat in history and then tossed a few bombs. The threat was as follows:

“there may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable... If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!”

Then, a day and a half of pointless airstrikes followed (interestingly aimed at targets the administration had already assured us had been thoroughly destroyed). Then the USA made a desperate pivot on Sunday night and said the strikes were over, hoping to assure the oil markets that this was no big deal and please please please do not drive up the price of gasoline to the American consumer.

And the Iranians went right back to claiming control over the Strait and rebuilding their military.

It is probably the most bizarre use of military force in US history. What we are seeing is strategically useless, wastes ammunition of which the US is already running short, and reinforces the idea that the USA is weakening and aimless. This is the message US partners are taking not only in the region but around the world. In other words, it is the use of American military power to make things worse for the USA.

US partners in the region are indeed getting this message loud and clear, and are already trying to carve out a better relationship with Iran—knowing that the US is in no shape to protect them. In many ways the region is already preparing for a post-American future.

American weakness has one lesson (that really should not have to be learned over and over, but sadly does) and one hopeful sign. The lesson is about the extraordinary difficulty in achieving strategic aims through the use of military force. Time and time again, major powers, such as the USA, and middling powers, such as Russia, employ military force thinking that they are so strong that they can get what they want. And amazingly (as we are seeing now and I will discuss in the last segment), analysts are supporting the idea that war is somehow easy to wage and win.

The sign is that the US is so weak now and lacking in leverage, that the end result of this might be something that could be immensely good for the USA and the region; an American military withdrawal from the Middle East. And that means no more US military bases, no permanent stationing of troops, no regular commitments of US military forces to try and control things.

If there is one thing that can be said without doubt, it is that the massive use of US military force in the Middle East over the last few decades has been a disaster for everyone—Americans, residents of the region, and arguably the rest of the world. This latest humiliation is so total, maybe a new way can be attempted that would see the US stop fooling itself by thinking it can control things it cannot.

And that is a great thing—great for the region and great for the USA. I promise that piece next week, maybe at the start of the midweek update. The US has a chance to benefit from this failure.

Jul 1, 2026

The Pentagon turned to Merops after burning through hundreds of Patriot missiles defending against Iranian Shaheds, each Patriot costing more than $3 million.

The Army bought 13,000 Merops in eight days after the Iran war began in late February, at roughly $15,000 each, Driscoll told Congress in April.

“They protected U.S. troops,” the Army secretary told lawmakers, defending the cost as a fraction of what a Shahed costs to produce. “We will make that trade all day long.”

A Merops costs roughly $15,000 against a Shahed that runs $30,000 to $50,000.

The interceptor is a roughly three-foot, fixed-wing drone that flies up to 174 mph (280 km/h) and homes in on its target using thermal radar or radio-frequency sensors when its links are jammed.

It has downed more than 4,000 Russian drones in Ukraine, German production partner Twentyfour Industries said.

The system has conservatively accounted for 40% of all Shahed destruction in Ukraine.

The cost of the Iran conflict

Moody’s economist Mark Zandi says the Iran war has already cost the typical U.S. household about $1,000 through higher gas, diesel, airfare, groceries, military spending, and borrowing costs. He argues the bill is still rising and could be even higher than his estimate.

Oil Glut Calls May Be Getting Ahead of Reality

By Irina Slav - Jul 02, 2026, 11:00 AM CDT

Oil prices have fallen as traders bet on recovering Hormuz exports and renewed oversupply, but analysts warn the rebound reflects delayed tanker departures rather than a full restoration of Middle East production.

Production remains well below pre-war levels in key Gulf producers, while high shipping costs, limited insurance coverage, and slow inbound tanker traffic continue to constrain supply.

Despite record U.S. crude output, uncertainty over Iran, Hormuz, and regional production means the market may be underestimating ongoing supply risks.

. . . analysts would do better to wait and make sure Hormuz tanker traffic has returned to pre-war levels . . .

Those who dance [to Trump's tune] always seem crazy to those who can't hear the music.

Mark Zandi underestimated how much the Iran war costs.

President Trump requested a record $1.5 trillion in national security funding for the 2027 fiscal year, marking an unprecedented $420+ billion increase over prior baseline levels. Additionally, the administration asked for an $87.6 billion emergency supplemental, which includes $67.1 billion for the Department of Defense to replenish munitions heavily used in the Middle East.

$420 billion divided by the population of the US (342.3 million) is equal to $1,227.00 per person. Mark Zandi estimated $1,000 per "household", not per person.

Trump's budget for Fiscal Year 2027 begins on October 1, 2026 for the U.S. Federal Government, and on July 1, 2026 for most U.S. states, academic institutions, and corporate entities.

U.S. Officials Believed Israel Was Plotting to Kill Iranian Negotiators

Any Israeli attempt to kill Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister, or Mohammad Ghalibaf, the Parliament speaker, would have derailed peace talks, American officials feared.

By Julian E. Barnes and Farnaz Fassihi | July 2, 2026
The reporters have been covering the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran and its aftermath.

https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/02/us/politics/israel-iran-negotiators
-plot.html?unlocked_article_code=1.ulA.UsQa.7BvP9veePqT0&smid=url-share

U.S. officials believed that Israel might have been plotting to kill Iran’s top negotiators while Washington was engaged with Tehran in delicate talks this spring to reach an interim peace deal, according to current and former American officials.

Killing senior Iranian leaders had been part of Israel’s strategy from the start of the war. But American concerns about the targeting of two particular Iranian officials — Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, and Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of the Parliament — spiked during delicate cease-fire negotiations that began in April.

Fearful that an Israeli assassination effort would doom the negotiations, the United States, according to some of the officials, went so far as to ask other countries in the region to warn Iran about the possibility Israel could target the two officials.

U.S. officials acknowledged that during the intense phase of the war, Mr. Araghchi and Mr. Ghalibaf, as senior government officials, could have been legitimate targets for Israel, which was intent on toppling Iran’s hard-line government. But after the negotiations started in earnest in April, American officials believed that any attempt to kill the Iranian leaders would end the talks and reignite the fighting.

The war began on Feb. 28 with an Israeli strike that killed the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and other top officials, based in part on U.S. intelligence.

While U.S. strikes focused on Iran’s navy and missile forces, Israel prioritized targeting the leadership in the early phase of the war, intent on killing as many high-ranking officials as it could.

That included killing potentially more pragmatic leaders that the Trump administration had hoped to negotiate with, such as Ali Larijani, Iran’s top national security official, and Kamal Kharazi, a former Iranian foreign minister. Both men were involved in the negotiations with the United States when they were killed in Israeli airstrikes.

The Trump administration’s suspicions about the possible Israeli plot to kill the two top negotiators show how the U.S. and Israeli war aims, which were close at the very beginning of the war, quickly diverged radically. And while the United States wanted a peace agreement, Israel has been skeptical from the initial cessation of hostilities in April.

Because it is just another in a very, VERY long line of incorrect predictions about the markets, all carried out by left-wing organizations staffing people with foreign interests and white women who hate America. This man also happens to be Iranian himself, so I'm not going to listen to any of his low-info incorrect predictions.

And I don't want to hear about the money. These are all unfathomable sums we hear about every day, all going to causes that nobody wants to see them go to. If it wasn't going to be spent here, it was going to be spent in some other way nobody approves of. And not one person here is ever going to convince themselves, let alone anybody else that the above statement isn't 100% objective fact, so drop it.

My track record is one where I'm usually right about nearly everything in the end. So I'm not open to any debates about how I interpret the "news" as they present it.

Thank you very much.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

His part of the article in not a "prediction", it's an estimate of costs so far.

But even if he was way off, ALL military actions cost something. Deploying carrier groups ad infinitum and blowing a huge inventory of Patriots (at $1-$3 million a pop, depending on version) and Tomahawk missiles, getting our bases blown up, planes shot down, and all that jet fuel costs SOMETHING. And to attack Iran when all of his advisors (military, intelligence, political) were advising him not to, and only Bibi Netanyahu was pushing him forward... Only to wind up in the same (at best) strategic position as when he started?

It all sounds pretty stupid to me.

And then there's his big buget- busting proposal for the Department of War.

Somebody ought to tell him you don't get a first class military by throwing money at it willy nilly. The devil is in the details, and he's not a detail guy. So all you get is another 'get rich quick' scheme for corporations and politicians, just like AI and the 'solutions' for climate change and Covid.

*****

Come to think of it, that's pfir robably Trump's biggest weakness: He's not a detail guy. Doesn't think things thru, won't listen to those who have, likes to go for big splashy moves and noisy events, just like anyone with severe ADHD who needs something bright and loud to capture their attention.
