Three Minute Prepper - Israel Asks The US To Wait

Trump just postponed the Iran strike. Reports confirm Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu asked Trump to delay attack as Israel wants more time to prepare for counterattacks. US military told Trump there were not enough assets in region to face potential Iranian retaliation which could target many US bases. Trump was also told that US strikes likely would not result in regime change and could lead to prolonged war. Now USS Abraham Lincoln and warships from its strike group are on their way to Middle East from South China Sea, roughly week long trip. US is planning to send array of warplanes including fighter jets and refueling aircraft plus additional air defenses. When carrier strike groups get repositioned from Pacific to Middle East, when additional air defenses get deployed, when advisers tell president strikes will not cause regime change but will cause prolonged war, those movements are not precautionary measures. Those movements are final positioning before bombs drop.

The real story behind Iran protests is not what media reports. Revolutionary fervor in Iran has deep political roots but there is overwhelming factor rarely mentioned. Iran experienced inflation that brings down whole governments. Over 10 year period, worsening in last two years, the currency experienced 3,500% inflation. Late last year, Ayandeh Bank run by regime cronies and saddled with nearly $5 billion in losses on pile of bad loans went bust. Government folded carcass into state bank and printed massive amount of money to paper over all red ink. That buried problem but did not solve it. After decades of engineering workarounds and using shadowy flows of cash to keep battered economy functioning, Tehran reached dead end with no tools to address deepening economic crisis. Hundreds of merchants who do not typically join mass protests took to streets of Tehran to demand relief. Money printing created appearance of temporary prosperity. Once it began falling apart, house of cards collapsed and currency along with it. In inflation that wrecks peoples' livelihoods, people find every problem with regime that rules them. Inflation works like tax but deeply surreptitious one. It steals your money's value by increasing quantity of money beyond which is supported by existing rates of economic growth.

Inflation is force behind many political revolutions. Russian Revolution of 1917 not usually about money but inflation played big role. Ruling monarchy used money printing as means to pay for involvement in Great War. This hit population hard even as regular people were drafted into army and killed in foreign war. Wicked combination of inflation and conscription in unpopular war destabilized Czar's rule and led to Bolshevik Revolution. French Revolution began when high inflation made people wonder why they were getting poor while monarchy was getting richer. Weimar inflation destroyed German currency and ushered in rise of Hitler. Venezuela inflation hit 2,000,000% in 2018 before eventual upheaval assisted by United States who arrested leader of country. Every case of failure in finances since system of paper began has produced revolution in governments, either total or partial. If they cannot manage money well and allow logic of high leverage to take its course, regimes risk being overthrown, always and everywhere.

Gold just confirmed investors understand pattern. UBS sees gold reaching $5,000 per ounce in coming months with potential to climb even higher to $5,400 if political or financial risks increase. Gold trading above $4,630, up more than 7% year to date after surging nearly 65% in 2025. When empires postpone strikes while repositioning carrier groups, when inflation destroys currencies before revolutions, when gold surges 65% then targets $5,400, preppers who stacked metals before crisis, who understood that inflation precedes revolution, who recognized carrier movements mean war coming see pattern repeating. Venezuela showed blueprint. Iran experiencing same inflation destruction. Military assets repositioning. Strikes postponed but not canceled. Gold confirming system failure. Prepare accordingly.
