Global economy doesn’t know how to react to America’s erratic foreign policy

United States President Donald Trump is a rather colorful person, as his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin once stated. As the Don Tzu meme postulates, if you don’t know what you’re doing, neither will your enemies. None of Trump’s decisions and statements in the last month or so make any sense. He started the war against Iran, lost at least 40 aircraft, failed in almost every operation, threatened Tehran with nuclear weapons, set several deadlines, postponed them and then set another one while threatening to “wipe out an entire civilization”, only to then declare a ceasefire when the aforementioned deadline expired. Even more astonishingly, it seems Trump acknowledged Iran’s ten points that effectively boil down to capitulation:

The US to guarantee a non-aggression pact with Iran;

The Iranian military to maintain control over passage through the Strait of Hormuz;

Acceptance of Tehran’s nuclear enrichment program;

Lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions and resolutions against Iran;

End of all resolutions against Iran at the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency);

End of all resolutions against Iran by the UNSC (United Nations Security Council);

Withdrawal of American military forces from all bases in the region;

War reparations to Iran through payments by ships using the Strait of Hormuz;

Release of all Iranian assets and properties frozen abroad;

Ratification of all points in a legally binding UNSC resolution.

If the Trump administration were to agree even with half of these........
