A leaked memo suggests that the Trump administration isn’t anticipating a quick victory in Iran. If that’s true, that could spell trouble for the GOP in the midterms.

Politico is reporting that the U.S. Central Command has requested additional military intelligence manpower be sent to its Tampa, Florida headquarters. The deployment of the officers is expected to be at least 100 days, but may extend through September, according to the media outlet.

That means President Donald Trump’s war with Iran is expected to last a lot longer than the four to five weeks span the administration originally claimed.

If the military operation extends to the fall, the midterms loom, and it’s already causing GOP concerns about the impact of a prolonged confrontation, particularly if casualties mount.

Politico quoted an anonymous Republican insider’s anguish: “When you’re at war, that is 75 percent of your time,” a Republican insider told Politico’s Playbook. “It already is a nightmare, because you’ve got the MAGA coalition just tearing at the seams. Anything in a game subtraction right now is f—— disastrous.”

This year's drop in gas prices was set to be a highlight of Republican midterm claims, countering an anticipated Democrat argument on affordability. That now appears likely out the window, as gas prices have spiked, with crude oil rising more than $10 per barrel and gas pump prices up 20 percent since the war’s start.

A Reuters poll found 60 precent of independents said Trump’s use of military force was “too much,” according to Reuters. Also, a YouGov/Economist poll discovered found the administration is facing its highest disapproval rating of its second term.

The White House and Defense Department have not commented so far on the Politico report.

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales Dump 200 Million XRP in Just 2 Weeks – Is XRP’s Price on the Verge of Collapse?

Whales offload 200 million XRP leaving market uncertainty behind. XRP faces potential collapse as whales drive major price shifts. Is XRP’s future in danger after massive sell-off by whales? XRP’s price has been under intense pressure recently as whales reportedly offloaded a staggering 200 million XRP over the past two weeks. This massive sell-off has raised alarms across the cryptocurrency community, as many wonder if the market is on the brink of collapse or just undergoing a temporary correction. According to crypto analyst Ali (@ali_charts), this surge in whale activity correlates directly with the price fluctuations seen in the past few weeks. XRP experienced a sharp spike in late July and early August, but the price quickly reversed as whales began to sell their holdings in large quantities. The increased volume during this period highlights the intensity of the sell-off, leaving many traders to question the future of XRP’s value.

Can XRP Recover or Is a Bigger Decline Ahead? As the market absorbs the effects of the whale offload, technical indicators suggest that XRP may be facing a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), currently sitting at 53.05, signals a neutral market stance, indicating that XRP could move in either direction. This leaves traders uncertain whether the XRP will break above its current resistance levels or continue to fall as more whales sell off their holdings. Source: Tradingview Additionally, the Bollinger Bands, suggest that XRP is nearing the upper limits of its range. This often points to a potential slowdown or pullback in price, further raising concerns about the future direction of the XRP. With the price currently around $3.02, many are questioning whether XRP can regain its footing or if it will continue to decline. The Aftermath of Whale Activity: Is XRP’s Future in Danger? Despite the large sell-off, XRP is not yet showing signs of total collapse. However, the market remains fragile, and the price is likely to remain volatile in the coming days. With whales continuing to influence price movements, many investors are watching closely to see if this trend will reverse or intensify. The coming weeks will be critical for determining whether XRP can stabilize or face further declines. The combination of whale offloading and technical indicators suggest that XRP’s price is at a crossroads. Traders and investors alike are waiting for clear signals to determine if the XRP will bounce back or continue its downward trajectory.
