tension is elastic & can ease or manifest...
In my last article, 29th March, I wrote "April 2026 is the short term 'bottoming-out' but with increased volatility. Wealth creation is an Art while wealth preservation is about survival"
The globe is spinning faster than usual with minute spikes in reactions to everchanging worldly events
Will peace returns? The elements of conflicts are Man(made) whose thirst for power, control, fame, greed and contempt destroy harmony & peaceful coexistence
Like fire, when the substance [of contempt] is completely burnt, the fire stops; from the ashes rise the phoenix
US needed to extract itself out of the mess and is unlikely to adopt the 'scorched earth' approach as the extent of religious flavor in wars know no boundaries
It's gonna be equally MAD ~ Mutual Assured Destruction, nukes aside
The casualty arising from the recent oil price hike is the global economy, inflation & plausibly stagflation
The distrusts were rooted when P Trump contemplated to take Greenland, Canada, Cuba & took action against Venezuela ~ the Laws of The Jungle reigned instead
Leaders at EU had removed US commands at/from NATO; a new alliance will evolve
De-dollarization will eventually happen as new trading Blocs are born out of realignment of countries; businesses are only done between friends. When distrust is sowed, especially trades between nations, the equation changes
US will still [contemplate to] be the No 1 Leader, a position nobody, especially China, wanted
Historically, China thrives on trades. Within 30 years of opening up, China alleviated poverty of her bottom >600mil population
Just when this wave of tragedies in the US/Israel vs Iran war are almost over [doesn't mean it is over], 'smokes' are rising in Northeast Asia; the two Koreas, Japan, the Philippines and Taiwan
Geopolitics is fluid
Fortunes favor the brave

Wealth creation is an Art
The world held its breathe when the possibility of using nuke was echoed; fortunately, sanity prevailed
Let us enjoy the temporary reprieve and relieve ... as life crawled back to normalcy
Will the world hit the brakes again? Yes, quite likely as the world's leadership pole position is perceived to being challenged
We survived to see daylight amidst unusual political sideshows
