Trump announced to CBS: "I think the war is very complete, pretty much."

Whatever the hell that means, oil prices have dipped somewhat on the announcement, and stocks are edging up. One thing seems certain — somebody in Trump’s family must have bought oil and stock futures just before the announcement.

But actually, is Trump backing out and declaring victory? Could be. But honestly, we think the war is NOT very complete, pretty much, despite the announcement (wink, wink).

March 10, 1806 – Emperor Alexander I Grants Museum Status to the Moscow Armory

By the decree of Emperor Alexander I, the "Rules for the Management and Preservation of Valuables in the Workshop and Armory Chamber" were established. From this day forward, the ancient Russian treasury officially became a museum, often referred to as the "Most Sovereign Museum."

The Moscow Armory, located within the Kremlin, had long served as a repository for state treasures, weapons, regalia, and ceremonial objects of the Russian tsars. Its origins date back to the early 16th century when it was used primarily as a weapons workshop. Over time, it accumulated a vast collection of priceless artifacts, including royal crowns, state insignias, Fabergé eggs, ceremonial weapons, and gifts from foreign dignitaries.

A key figure in this transformation was Pyotr Valuyev, the head of the Kremlin Construction Expedition. Under his oversight, the Armory’s collections were cataloged and protected. Alexander I declared the chamber’s collection inviolable, forbidding the sale or removal of any items without a special imperial order. Previously issued objects were to be recovered and returned, while new acquisitions could only enter the collection with the emperor’s approval.

Valuyev was made fully responsible for the preservation of the treasures, and the annual budget for maintaining the Armory was set at 10,000 rubles. This marked the beginning of the museum’s formal existence, ensuring the safeguarding of Russia’s historical and cultural heritage. Today, the Moscow Armory remains one of the most significant museums in Russia, housing invaluable relics of the nation’s imperial past.

Trump Calls Putin

Comments by the Assistant to the President of Russia, Yury Ushakov, following the telephone conversation between Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump have been published on the Kremlin website:

March 9, 2026, 22:30

Y. Ushakov: This evening a telephone conversation took place between the presidents of Russia and the United States.

Donald Trump called Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin to discuss a number of extremely important topics related to the current development of the international situation. Naturally, the emphasis was placed on the situation surrounding the conflict with Iran and on the trilateral negotiations on a Ukrainian settlement being conducted with the participation of U.S. representatives.

Let me say at once that the conversation was businesslike, frank, and constructive in nature, as is usually the case in dialogue between the Russian and American leaders. They had not spoken by phone for quite some time—the last conversation was at the end of December 2025. Today’s call, incidentally, lasted about an hour. The U.S. president noted that, as previously agreed, such communication should of course take place on a regular basis, and both leaders said they were ready for this.

The Russian president expressed a number of thoughts on achieving the fastest possible political and diplomatic settlement of the Iranian conflict, including those that take into account contacts held with the leaders of the Persian Gulf countries, with the President of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian, and with the leaders of a number of other countries.

For his part, the U.S. president gave his assessment of the development of the situation in the context of the ongoing American–Israeli operation. I would note that there was a very substantive and, I believe, useful exchange of views on this matter.

President Trump again expressed interest in bringing the conflict in Ukraine to an end as soon as possible by reaching a ceasefire and moving toward a long-term settlement.

From our side, a positive assessment was given to the mediation efforts being undertaken by Donald Trump’s team and by him personally.

A description was also given of what is currently happening along the line of combat contact, where Russian troops are advancing quite successfully. As was noted, this is a factor that should finally prompt the regime in Kiev to move toward a negotiated settlement of the conflict.

The presidents also touched upon the issue of Venezuela, primarily in the context of the situation on the global oil market.

Overall, I will repeat that the conversation was very substantive and will undoubtedly have practical significance for the further work of the two countries in various areas of international policy.

MSC Halts Gulf Exports as Middle East War Sparks Global Trade Shock

Global shipping titan MSC has halted exports from Gulf ports as the Middle East war escalates, sending shockwaves through global trade and energy markets. The company, the world’s largest container shipping firm, warned that “all affected cargo will be discharged” and responsibility will transfer to the cargo owners, highlighting the unprecedented disruption.

The move comes as Iran, under a new supreme leader, launched fresh missile strikes at its Gulf neighbors, keeping the strategic Strait of Hormuz — the artery for nearly a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil — effectively shut. Oil prices surged on Monday amid the chaos.

MSC framed its decision as a response to the “exceptional nature of the current circumstances” and stressed that it “does not constitute a breach of contract.” Customers wishing to reroute shipments face an $800 surcharge per container for alternative transport arrangements.

The crisis developed after U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28, followed by Iranian missile and drone attacks on several Gulf countries. MSC previously ordered its vessels to seek safe shelter and suspended all Middle East bookings.

This unprecedented halt underscores the growing global fallout from the Gulf conflict, threatening both oil supplies and international trade logistics. Once again, Trump’s posturing leaves the world paying the price.
