The Persian focus turns to regional consolidation of their unassailable position

From our Group of Friends

What a lovely idyllic weekend, no? Like a universal Last Meal of lobsters and cake on the floating tombs. One could even forget an entire region is about to be murdered by Murder Inc. One could be misled by the calm unperturbed posture of the Iranians.. they’ve resumed commercial flights within Iran between largest two cities, and even to Najaf, Iraq, Moscow, Constantinople and Oman. Araghchi wanders around capitals of friendly neighbors; Ghalibaf waxes on the Last Looting of the disaster capitalists of their own, before full on Technofeudalism clamps down as the system reboot.

Swaps given "to prevent disorderly sale of US assets." Translation: some holders can't sell. ICYDK: hidden single-digit % sale cap limits some institutional holders.

Door closes if things escalate. Get out while open.

Their frontline is the yield curve.https://t.co/cVS8UehmAr

The Hormuz Blockade was the chosen avenue to ensure the transfer to the new digital gulag, by incinerating the old globalization. So it will be maintained no matter the cost, whether to corn-fed lads, or all us Others, deemed irrelevant “collateral cost.”

Clearly, what doesn’t kill ya makes ye Stronger. With the outcome of this war no longer in doubt, even if nukes enter the scene, the Persian focus turns to regional consolidation of their unassailable position. They are even beyond imperial narratives, now solely focused on internal buttressing and optics. If Losers chose to suicide the Gulfies on their last spasm of Retreat, so be it. Life will go on.

What will be the secret new weaponry of surprise, used to foil uber-criminal plans in motion against West Asia?? We shall shortly see.

BTW, note the pirating waypoints of the US Navy – (1) increasingly INDOPAC and (2) along littorals of Sri Lanka and India! This is even before they get to BRICS Brothers Malaysia and Indonesia of Malacca Straits..

Oh South Asia! How low will you go? Have they moved from being mere transactional basing to fully active FOB with attached local intel? The Indian Navy does not even need to be officially activated! The complicit merely finger the victim, as was done to the evilly betrayed IRI Dena guest. But two can play – let us see how India continues to receive any Iranian oil playing these shenanigans, and what they will do against the coming multinational convoys and armed merchantmen..

I’ve been a lover of the maestro Israel Cachao since 1990s when I was introduced to his group in Beantown [02] – here’s more from the sumptuous Cuban scene [03]. Whether Cuban, Persian, African, etc.. folks under sustained medieval siege tend to imagine up the most delightful cultures of Resistance
