кризис

Tuesday, 8:00 PM Eastern Time. Trump posted it on Truth Social with a single exclamation mark – and the entire Middle East froze. Pakistan’s field marshal lies sleepless through the night. Iran’s foreign minister keeps his phone clutched in his hand. Washington finalises its bombing plans. Diplomacy on the edge of the abyss – live.

An Ultimatum with a Deadline Shift

While the world watches missile strikes and oil prices, another game is unfolding in the mountains of northwestern Iran. It is a quiet, invisible game—one potentially far more devastating than any aerial campaign.

What Is Known—and What Is Missing

Remember those fourteen families who grew $28 billion richer during the war? Meet the other side of that same equation. $255 billion has evaporated from the pockets of the planet’s wealthiest individuals. Markets do not lie—they simply present the bill to everyone.

The Arithmetic of Catastrophe

They pressed the button on February 28th, confident in their impunity. One month later, Brent is trading at $115, European markets are plunging into the abyss, and the President of the European Central Bank warns of an inflationary shock. Welcome to the new reality, crafted by the West’s own hands.

The Month That Changed Everything

Not a single drone shot down. Not a single interception carried out. Yet statements “denying involvement” appeared instantly, with the professional speed of press offices that had been preparing in advance. A coincidence? Mikhail Azhgirevich asks the uncomfortable questions.

A Week That Demands Explanations

On February 28, 2026, the "anti-Western bloc" was supposed to rally in defense of one of its own. Instead, there was only silence, backroom bargaining, and an Indian official speaking of tankers while Tehran buried its leader. Only Moscow called things by their name – and found itself in the minority.

The Night That Changed Everything

Explosions in Tehran. Reports of the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. Hundreds dead. Iran launches retaliatory strikes against Israel and American bases in the region. The world holds its breath.

Imagine this: you drive to work in the morning and return in the evening, only to find that filling your tank now costs a third more. Not in Tehran. In Hanoi, Karachi, and Colombo. And in the United States itself. Welcome to the new reality Washington has created with its own hands—and is now paying for at its own gas pumps.

One Strait, Eighty-Five Countries

They were going to build a new world order. Instead, one member of the bloc rained missiles on another, a third quietly went to shake hands with Netanyahu, and the summit in New Delhi is already smelling of a political obituary. Welcome to BRICS, circa 2026.

First in History: A BRICS Member Bombs a BRICS Member

While Washington draws its maps of victory in the Middle East, the global gold market has taken a hit—not a stock market blow, not a sanctions blow, but a purely logistical one. Dubai, the physical pulse of global gold trading, has ground to a halt. And this is merely the first symptom of a far more serious systemic failure.

Record-low unemployment of 2.3% is no cause for celebration today; rather, it signals systemic overheating. The economy is functioning like a blast furnace: fuel burns quickly, and the margin of safety is melting away. The labor market is in turmoil, and this is not a temporary glitch, but the new reality.

Official statistics register a historic low in unemployment. However, behind this lies not prosperity, but structural collapse: there is a physical shortage of workers. Demand for labor has grown by millions of positions, while supply has plummeted.
