Ceasefire? Your Quick Take on Today's Events...

Commentary from The Distilled Perspective of
Patrick T Bulger, Capital Management & Analytics

Iran Cease Fire is temporary
It's not over till it's over.

1) Negotiated Regime Change?

2) No Regime change with total behavioral change?

3) Or no real change.

  • How many decades of “Peace Talks” have we observed?

  • Cease fire is a pause not solution,
    over is the only over, and we're not there yet.

From Historical Observations
Cease fires can be
Time to rearm.

  • Based upon those who've supported Iran,
    I'd be very cautious of what's being readied, steadied & aimed in our direction.
  • When you face someone with destruction,
    They’re a button press away from stalemate:
    Not victory.

Over is the only over, and
That seems like a long-shot

  • I see no claim of victory here.
    I just see a temporary delay.

I'll remain optimistic, yet realistic.

  • Note, the timeframes of carrier group GHWB occurs within this period.

  • Did we lose the ability to launch appropriately?
  • Recent replacement of many top Military Personnel...Original LinkedIn post below:
