QUESTION #1: Hello Mr. Armstrong. I have been a subscriber to one of your packages for a few years now & really enjoy your honesty & patriotism to all countries not only your own. I do have a question about Trump who seems to be the only one interested in blocking the straits in Iran. To me it looks like he wants it that way, not Iran. He must realize that if it becomes a 7-8 war he will be doing massive damage economically world wide. Is that not the goal of the neocons to convince everyone to go to war after they have lost everything.

What is your opinion?

John

QUESTION #2: While everyone has an opinion and some claim Trump is blocking the Strait to make the USA the only place to supply oil, you are the only one out there with actual experience rather than sensational opinion. Does this confirm your ECM and your forecast before this war began that the US would go into a recession but Europe would go into a depression?

ANSWER: I have always seen myself as a citizen of humanity and thus the world. We are all connected and you cannot isolate yourself from the world.

I like to meet key people even if I disagree with them because you have to look into their eyes to see where they are truly coming from. As a trader, you have to be a poker player and if you cannot read your opponent, you will not be able to distinguish a real hand from a bluff.

Trust me, 99% of these conspiracy theories are absurd because they are crediting these people with far too much intelligence.  Here is Tony Blair's Apology.  I am telling you that these people are NOT that smart. They cannot see beyond the end of their nose. This is why they always lose their wars. With Iraq, it was all about getting rid of Saddam for Netanyahu. Nobody ever even considered what would happen if he was removed. They did the same in Syra and Libya. They only see their objective and lack the intelligence to plan or even come up with a strategy. You will see this with Iran as well. Oil/Gas is just the tip of the iceberg. You have Fertilizer, and sulfuric acid necessary for mining copper and nickel.

They have given ZERO consideration to what is the outcome of this war against Iran. Even if they achieved regime change, there is NO guarantee that any replacement government would be friendly to the USA or Israel after killing even children.
