      💠@Alon Mizrahi:
      Zionazism is the biggest, sickest enemy of humanity, and we are blocked from fighting it by a leadership class of cunts and traitors
      ⭕ Dear citizens of Western countries led by traitorous, craven basterds: when they tell you ‘antisemitism’ you need to tell them to go to hell
      🔻 Athena: Thanks Alon, I needed that today
      I found myself telling Zionists to “fuck off” and calling them “twats”, something I don’t normally do.
      The gaslighting, “7 October” and “just release the hostages” is so insane, they are completely unwilling to see the massacre of Palestinians now
      🔻 AM: They feel they have a license to do and say whatever. The West built them up as a class of super humans. All of it will be dismantled
      And they dare call our disgust and horror ‘antisemitism’, the psychopath bastards
      ⭕🔻 Diana Buttu:
      I wish people would stop talking about Israeli “targets” as if Israel is choosing to bomb specific places. The targets are the people of Gaza. In their entirety.
      🔻 AM: There is nothing to bomb in Gaza other than human tissue
      ⭕ The only country in the world that deliberately targets civilians, including children, as part of its declared policy, is the Jewish state
      The short version of where I think we are:

      In the last 3 weeks, 5 trillion has been wiped off the American stock markets.

      In the next 3 weeks, it’s going to be 2-5 times that at least, as all signs indicate a wide, direct war between Iran and Yemen and Israel and the US is about to break in that timeframe. We are closer to this scenario than we’ve been since October 7. Iran won’t let Yemen fall, and Russia and China won’t let Iran fall. The Syria play is not going to be repeated (I think it was allowed, in part, to concentrate power strategically for the defense of Yemen and Iran).

      In Israel, a new IDF chief has been appointed, and a new Shin Bet chief will soon be appointed as well; both have been sacked in recent weeks in a major push to cement power in preparation for a really big development that requires maximum fascist, centralized control over Israel’s most sensitive security apparatuses.

      I also tend to think that the entire Ukraine push that we’re seeing could be a distraction or a propaganda maneuver to try and prevent Russia from seriously assisting Iran, and also to distract domestic populations in the West.

      Everything points to a dramatic, seismic escalation, and it is part of the reason the American public is fed with so many small distractions: to preempt any serious opposition to this war, which has the full support of both Zionist-run Democrats and Republicans.

      I have been saying for a year that Trump was appointed by American and Zionist elites to break the nascent left-wing Palestine-related awakening and go to war with Iran, which the Democrats could not sell to the American public (which is why they intentionally lost the election). And, god, it looks like it’s actually going down.

      I also often say that October 7 is going to change history forever. That’s because it is. On the other side of this, we’re going to have a very different US, a very different Middle East, and a hugely different international landscape for Zionism and Zionists.

      The peak power of Zionism in the West, represented in support for the genocide and war with Iran, is going to mark the beginning of its dramatic downfall
      ⭕ And the long version of how we got here |media|
      Yemen fires a missile at Israel one day after Trump’s threat that Iran would be held accountable for every Houthi action. The Axis is not backing down, and I expect more American attacks shortly – perhaps involving Iran directly (or maybe they will wait for a direct hit in Tel Aviv). The trend is clear
      ⭕🔻 The Misfit Patriot:
      I don’t usually get emotional, but this is one of the rare times I’m very fucking emotional. I’m ready to go to war with my own party over this shit and it’s time more people joined me.

      🔻 Grifters gona Grift: Considering Israel has a $150 million Hasbara budget this year couldn’t they find anyone better to do their propaganda ?

      Or are they just scrapping at the bottom of the barrel these days because anyone will do.

      Regardless I’m for it because no one is falling for it.
      🔻 AM: 150 billion. The entire US budget is at their disposal
      Shame on any country that maintains ties of any kind with the genocidal, criminal state of Israel

      Spanish, Irish, and Belgian citizens have to demand immediate suspension of diplomatic ties. Go on a strike and don’t return home till you get it. Save humanity and save yourselves

      And it is time Russia and China recalled their ambassadors and sent Israel’s home. That is if they don’t want to risk becoming a joke

        imho:  russia & china will not abandon iran—iranian caviar is not on the table.  russia & china have & will share with iran: intelligence, EW, technology, materials, strategies, any mineral, tool or missing key.  unlike empire they will not deploy special operatives.  any technicians that were needed to show & tell have long come & gone.  iran has been working flat out from 1979 on this, for this inevitable confrontation.  the rehearsals are finished.

        laith may be too close, too heartbroken to see as clearly as he usually does.  he is a syrian.  he is a palestinian.  it’s beyond comprehension what’s happened.  but russia & china are working for their own best interests—& it is b/c of that that neither china nor russia can afford to abandon iran…their strategic partner.   just as the security of russia, of china is also existential to iran.  all three are bound intrinsically.   syria will return, palestine will return, but only after empire is defeated.   laith believes it will take decades, but, empire doesn’t have decades, it cannot afford decades, it doesn’t have Time to spare.  iran, russia & china know the climax nears.

        i’ve long believed (against all reason) that God Willing, china, iran & russia have all been perfecting EW & that when empire throws its worst, it will be met with a wall, a wall of You Can’t Go There.

          well said. They’ll help as much as can be helped without need of boots on the ground.

          And Iran doesn’t need any for that, living on a fortress “subcontinent”, for the war that comes onto them is not primarily a ground or protracted combined arms campaign, but similar to what was waged on Hezbollah: largely aerial, cyber, economic, and terrorism, esp on seas and on their tankers and other ships. IOW, this is the same blockade as on Japan in early 1940s.. to try to kill two bird (Iran and China) with a single stone.

          btw, this inevitable confrontation may set Iran back for a while, but it will have at least two very positive outcomes: it will end the fake PetroSheikhs on the western rim of the Persian Gulf during the crossfire (and thus OPEC and the PetroDollar) and the presence of the West in SW Asia. These are foreseeable immediate dividends… and so the Interregnum shall continue to labor, and labor, to bring forth fetid fruits

      The United States has played a key role in fuelling conflict and military aggression across the Middle East, often supporting or enabling mass bombing and warfare. For decades, the United States has played a decisive role in shaping conflicts across the Middle East, whether through direct military intervention, covert operations, arms sales, or unwavering diplomatic and financial support for allied governments and factions. From the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan to its support for Israel’s military campaigns and its involvement in proxy wars in Syria, Yemen, Libya, Lebanon and Gaza, Washington’s fingerprints are often found behind the region’s most devastating conflicts. While US policymakers justify their actions as necessary for security, stability or counter-terrorism, the reality on the ground tells a different story – one in which the cycles of war, destruction and displacement continue, fuelled in large part by American arms, money, strategic interests and ally…… Israel.

      ⭕ 🇷🇺🇺🇸 The road to normalized US-Russia relations will be long and difficult, ex-US diplomat says

      The beginning of cooperation in mutually beneficial endeavors between the US and Russia, as well as the achievement of enhanced European and global security will also be “long and difficult, – if it can be achieved at all,” former US diplomat Jim Jatras told RIA Novosti, commenting on the phone call between Russian President Putin and US President Trump.

      “Let there be no mistake: the Trump administration is signaling its interest in pursuing this course only because NATO is losing its proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and because the US wants to transfer its primary focus to the Middle East and China,” Jatras noted.

      🇨🇳🇮🇷 The US uses peace overtures to Russia to extricate it from the Ukraine debacle without suffering a total defeat. Washington is also prodding the Europeans into rearmament and hopes to induce Russia to distance itself from China and Iran, he pointed out.

      “In short, despite protestations to the contrary, the US is seeking to use genuine Russian desires for improved relations over the long term — ‘a full and permanent peace’ — as bait for a Minsk 3.0-type short-term truce of the sort Moscow has repeatedly said it won’t accept,” the ex-diplomat added.

      As one of the founder members of the OIF, Mali has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to the values and ideals promoted by the organization, the ministry emphasized.

      “Mali cannot remain a member of an organization whose actions are incompatible with the constitutional principles that define State activity in Mali, based on the sovereignty of the state, the sovereign choice of the people and the defense of their interests,” the letter read.

      💠@Rybar:
      ⭕ 📝Happy Submariner’s Day!📝

      The history of this holiday dates back to the beginning of the last century, when on March 19 (6), 1906, after the decree of Nicholas II, a new class of warships – submarines – officially appeared in the imperial navy, which were just beginning to master the expanses of water.

      🖍Since that moment, domestic submarines have come a long way from relatively small torpedo and gun carriers, which went to sea mainly in a surface position, to huge nuclear-powered ships with dozens of cruise or intercontinental ballistic missiles.

      From Kamchatka to the Baltic, submarine sailors serve, carrying out combat patrols or tracking enemy ship groups. And all this – literally blindly, under a huge thickness of water and without communication with the “land” in order to maintain secrecy.

      🚩And although today the Russian submarine fleet is not involved in colorful naval battles and does not appear in combat reports, its part is a component of the “nuclear triad” and provides the very strategic deterrence that does not allow wars to reach a deadly level. At least for now.

      US President Donald Trump has declared his intention to “destroy” Ansar Allah (Houthis) in Yemen, resuming intense bombing campaigns across several Yemeni provinces. This marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict, as the U.S. seeks to directly target Yemen’s resistance movement, which has remained defiant despite years of war, blockades, and foreign intervention

      🔻 Brian Berletic: I don’t blame people for wanting to hope Trump would end all the wars continuing over from the Biden administration – no matter how unrealistic that was and no matter how involved Trump himself was in preparing for and provoking these wars during his previous term…

      I will blame them for now trying to justify wars they opposed under Biden now that “their guy” is continuing them (just as Obama supporters did following Bush).

      Reading people attempt to justify or excuse President Trump’s entirely predictable/inevitable continuity of agenda reminds me of how eager some people are to become bad people themselves rather than admit people they thought were “good” aren’t.

      No – the Yemenis aren’t “pirates.”

      The US overthrew their government in 2011 and waged a brutal proxy war against them via Saudi Arabia for nearly a decade.

      Yemen is fighting back against the illegal, unwarranted, indefensible presence of the US military across their region and their proxies brutalizing them and their neighbors.

      But Trump supporters already know this – because they opposed this war when it was Biden fighting it and they voted for Trump because he promised them he’d end it!
      ⭕🔻 Big Serge ☦️🇺🇸🇷🇺:
      Some thoughts about the Houthi pseudo-blockade of the Bab al-Mandab Strait:

      The argument, made by the Houthis and others, is that their blockade and attacks on shipping are confined to ships associated with Israel, and they spin this into a very tight proposition: only Israel and her allies are affected, and the attacks can be ended if Israel ends its “genocide” in Gaza.

      It’s a clean idea, but it doesn’t work for a variety of reasons, first and foremost that it is not true.

      Despite Houthi assurances that their strikes are directed only at the Israelis and their foreign backers, they have attacked a wide range of shipping with no links to the conflict in Gaza. In February, 2024, they sank the Rubymar, which was a Lebanese-owned ship carrying fertilizer to Bulgaria. In June, the Tutor was sunk while carrying coal from Russia to India.

      Secondly, the Houthi blockade cannot be targeted due to the nature of shipping insurance and the asymmetrical risk of shipping. Houthi assurances are not worth much, and few western shipping companies (or their insurance carriers) want to risk the straits. Hence, a nearly 50% drop in traffic. It’s mostly the Chinese that are still transiting the straits.

      Furthermore, the proposition that Israel will stop its operations in Gaza, or that the United States will pull support for Israel in the face of Houthi shipping attacks, is incredibly naïve.

      If you’re preoccupied with the ethnical question of Israeli operations in Gaza, you miss the more important part of the question. People seem to be expecting the United States to disaffiliate from Israel simply because shipping is under attack in the Red Sea, but this is essentially impossible for reasons completely unrelated to the moral quality of the Israeli government.

      For better or for worse, Israel is a keystone American ally, and no great power can expect to survive if it can be coerced into disaffiliating from such an ally so easily. If the Houthis can sever America from Israel simply by lobbing missiles at container ships, all American alliance promises would seem to be subject to revision. Similarly, Israel cannot allow itself to be visibly deterred by the shipping attacks, particularly because Israel is winning in its own theater right now.

      For reasons of prestige and credibility, America’s only option is to respond to the Houthis militarily. The idea that attacks on shipping would lever America away from Israel was always a fantasy, based on a very childish framework which couches itself in morally charged language and ignores the basic power politics in question. A great power with alliance commitments all over the world cannot allow those commitments to be put in doubt so easily.

      The situation is not altogether dissimilar to British entry into World War One on behalf of Belgium; the issue had little to do with Belgium itself, and everything to do with Britain’s ability to survive as a great power if it could be bullied into abandoning its security guarantees.

      Of course, the Houthis are well within their prerogatives to try, but the blockade was never going to have its intended effects and so far it is neither forcing an Israeli adjustment nor compelling the United States and its satellites to disaffiliate from Israel or force the IDF to stand down.

      In short, the Houthi strikes on shipping, no matter how much they protest to the contrary, have become an issue totally unrelated to what’s happening in Gaza. The issue at stake in the Red Sea is American power projection, not the fate of the Palestinians. There’s an iron logic of power politics that supersedes rhetorical attempts to link the blockade to Gaza
      [he seems blissfully ignorant of much critical and unsaid detail.

      • Ansarullah kept going up during their phases, to include owners of corporations that continued to serve Zionazi ports, even if the specific attacked ship was innocent – it was asymmetrical warfare on the same owner.
      • many companies operate under shells.. and rarely use enemy flags; some used even private Russian or Chinese flagged ships. So all was fair. 
      • the overall purpose of bringing western economies to their knees – part of the Resistance’s continuous full spectrum war of attrition, is highly served by blockading the Gate of Tears. It forced USUK to pony up untold billions as life support; this not only impacted their own economies, but exposed their complicity of regional genocide to the world, further delegitimizing the barbarians to all mankind.

      So, there are many positive and self-reinforcing benefits. It may not save the Gazans. But it will help end the Old Order, and ultimately evict every barbarian from SW Asia. God bless Yemen, and the coordination rooms of the Resistance!]

      🔻 Baron of Ivy Grottage: Curious to know your take on this @imetatronink. Does the US actually have the capability to cow the Houthis – even if they seriously want to?
      🔻 WS: This much is indisputable: the US and its regional proxies have been trying to subdue and seize control of geostrategic Yemen for well over a decade. The US has used airstrikes, commando missions, and various forms of siege warfare. So far, everything they have tried has failed.

      ⭕ 🤔 So … Putin and Trump had a phone chat.

      Thirty Pieces of Silver Ain’t Much

      I note there are a great many comments in my timeline and mentions in relation to the idea that the Russians will sell Iran down the river as part of some devil’s bargain with the Americans.

      Many are even enchanted by the notion that Russia can be persuaded to betray the Chinese, and ally with the Americans to “contain” China.

      I find it inconceivable that Russia would sell, as it were for thirty pieces of silver, all the international stature, trust, and good will it has attained over the course of the Putin era — only to then again be double-crossed by their supposed new friends.

      But Putin being (overly?) polite could create a false impression.

        I recall one post by the Saker, around 2021, where he profusely praised Gabbert (many commentators too) for honesty, integrity and as role model for real women (!!). Granted it was the period of overt Transpocalypse during the crazed Dems’ misrule. I almost puked but kept my mouth shut. The same with the “health role model” RFK Jr who was on Orange’s plane a few months ago being served a Big Mac. It appears an MO to sucker folks — to put sincere-looking folks as controlled opposition — like casting a jew to lead nazis in 404..  but the Truth always outs, even at the core of the Empire of Lies and Illusions………

          I have no view on Gabbard, but RFK Jr’s record speaks for itself. His website and organization have been a pillar these last 25 years with the truth of the many poisons in his land, and with support for underdogs and lawsuits, and with many of his own lawsuits filed against US agencies – many of them won.

          I couldn’t say the percentage, but at least a portion of the support for Trump comes from Kennedy’s presence.

          Furthermore, since in office he has made a few directives to the obvious good, and nothing bad (some things failed but not by his hand). So it can always change but I don’t see him taking the pieces of silver yet, and excuse me please, but I feel compelled to report this, because I don’t see any reason to tarnish his name.

          That’s all domestic, of course, and of little relevance here – I only mentioned it for honor.

          ~~

          Zionism? This was always a lost cause I think. No Administration was ever going to change the warmonger dynamic, or ever wanted to, including Kennedy. I agree with Laith that the whole shebang is one Zionist Empire. And behind that are the bankers, battles yet to come, and far in the future.

          That’s why I keep saying the world must bind the US in chains, it will not reform itself. Internally, maybe it can lose weight, and who cares. One must separate the domestic from the foreign to understand the split nature of this Administration. It is not clear yet that fascism is increasing (it was always here), or that a psy-op of that scale is ongoing.

          But for the blood lust, someone like Ansar Allah may be the answer there, giving a soaking bloody mouth to a blood-simple fool.

          And we watch how Russia is schooling the US slowly, slowly, into its surrender in Ukraine. I trust Russia to achieve this far more than I trust the US to be able to weasel out of it. And a possible rapprochement is tempting to part of the US state. These are the examples that matter.

          And if these recommendations strain anyone’s patience, then find a way to destroy the US completely and have done with it. But even if you can, you will find the ancient enemy still standing afterwards, untouched.

          I’ve never looked for any foreign policy good to come out of this Administration and I don’t fully understand why anyone even now seems surprised. I have great horror from Trump’s utter foolishness with Yemen, but no disappointment. We knew it was a snake when we picked it up.

            One can be an angel with pets but a monster with Others. The treatment of stranger others often reveals the character. And it is not just foreigners, but ALL activities abroad – I forget who said an amazing characteristic of Yanquis was such love for children and care and legal protections, up to 18, but then off “to serve” and promptly die at 18 on foreign wars of aggression.

            Perhaps I am being unfair with innate distrust of all elites. I do not know enough of him. And Bobby is scion of a mighty bloodline in end stage Empire. Class trumps all their considerations when it comes to existential times (“THEY are our aircraft carrier”). or maybe the lessons were learned from Dallas and the Chappaquiddick incident, and survival demands circumspection with certain third rails that must not be crossed. But that is a trial of character as well.

      ⭕ 🇭🇷🇦🇱(🇽🇰) Yesterday, on the 18th March, Croatia, Albania and so-called Kosovo have agreed to form a trilateral military alliance – still aligned with NATO – in Tirana, Albania.

      The purpose of the new military alliance is allegedly to enhance defence co-operation and regional security, against the backdrop of rising tensions in the Balkans.

      Bulgaria has also expressed interest in joining the alliance, with some reports indicating that Turkey could follow.

      Serbia has demanded an explanation from Croatia, Albania and the so-called Government of unrecognised Kosovo regarding the true nature of the military alliance, which some have suspected of having being created to work against Serbia.
      [not good. More fateful steps on the Balkans theatre. This time, the stormtroopers sent to subdue Serbia won’t be Germans or Austro-Hungarians.. Hope those Hazelnuts are popping off the assembly lines like hotcakes]
      ⭕ 🇲🇪🇲🇰 Montenegro and North Macedonia have been informed that they are also welcome to join the new military alliance formed by Croatia, Albania and unrecognised Kosovo.

      These two countries may be more reluctant to join, since Albanian expansionists and supporters of the Greater Albania ideology claim territory in Southern Montenegro and the entire western half of North Macedonia.

      ⭕ Israel began a new ground invasion on the coastal line of Gaza and is heading towards Beit Lahya and Beit Hanoun, north of the Strip.

      Also, since Yesterday, Israel is trying to cut the north from the south of Gaza and is advancing under heaving artillery bombardment.
      ⭕ Israel, unintentionally, has become a propaganda medium for the Palestinian cause. The struggle for Palestinian rights has gained global recognition not due to natural geopolitical prominence, but because of the world support of Israel’s relentless efforts to erase Palestinian identity and suppress their existence.

      The world’s disproportionate concern for Israel’s security and the longevity of Zionism, as reflected in diplomatic negotiations, media coverage, and geopolitical strategies, has inadvertently kept the Palestinian issue in the global spotlight.

      As world leaders justify their unwavering support for Israel, often ignoring or downplaying Palestinian suffering, the contradictions in their policies have strengthened global awareness and sympathy for the Palestinian struggle. In this way, Israel’s own aggressive policies and the international community’s focus on protecting Zionist interests have ensured that the Palestinian cause remains one of the most pressing human rights issues of modern times.
      Yemen launched a hypersonic missile on Tel Aviv. Israel asked millions to seek the nearest shelter and Ben Gurion airport was shut down. This is the result of Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition survival policy, the violation of the agreed ceasefire and the lack of deterrence of the US that tried and failed to protect Israel from the poorest but the bravest Yemeni.

      ⭕🔻 Matt Bracken: About Musk’s plans to “colonize Mars,” please see my last post. Grok, designed by Team Musk, is mighty thin on specifics, to say the least. A handful of actual humans living in lava caves below the surface of Mars in a small artificial atmosphere habitat while thousands of spaceships land to somehow “terraform” Mars is ridiculous.

      And if you disagree, please explain why, without tapping the toes of Dorothy’s Magic Ruby Slippers and just wishing it to be so.

      But I see another “Mars colonization” avenue that is related to Musk’s “Neuralink” endeavor. Considering the absurdity of actual living breathing Homo Sapiens building a self-sustaining (no resupply needed) colony on Mars, I believe that Musk in 2025 is playing coy about his actual intentions. [He’d probably smile and say, “You’re not ready to understand it yet.”]

      Musk’s imagining “human civilization beyond Earth” may not include actual living, breathing humans, but robots and machines “transformed” with all that the human mind possesses. Neuralink ultimately will work both ways. Selected Neuralinked humans will be able to access the full networked [and constantly updated] AI data set. But AI machines will also be able to access the full potential of the human mind. The trans-human Neuralink process will run in both directions. AI to [certain] humans, and [certain] humans to AI.

      In this way, “colonizing” Mars [with 0.38 gravity, almost no atmosphere, -80* average temps, no radiation protection etc.] will not matter. Not if the “humans” Musk is referring to are actually machines, “improved with Neuralinked AI human minds.” These machines won’t care about gravity, oxygen, water, temperature or radiation. And they will be easily augmented by more machines with each new spaceship. Nine months to Mars? No problem for a “humanistic” AI robot or machine. Just go into “sleep mode.”

      Musk is far too smart to think that Homo Sapiens can create a self-sustaining colony on Mars. So what is his real plan, if not colonizing Mars with Neuralinked “human-ish” AI machines?

      If your answer is “Fiddle-dee-dee, we’ll all figure that out as we go, just trust Elon,” then I will refer you back to Dorothy’s Magic Ruby Slippers.
      [yeah, this entire endeavor is partly grift, partly distraction, partly gaslighting. And Mars may already be colonized according to some legends – but by principalities, who can tolerate such conditions and have unusual wings like the angels…]

      ⭕🔻 Armchair Warlord: A thought, and some more tea-leaf reading.

      So Trump and Putin had a two and a half hour-long phone call yesterday and apparently agreed on the narrowest ceasefire in the history of war and a shot at Russian revenge for the Miracle on Ice.

      Yeah, I think there’s more going on.⬇️

      Allow me to explain the negotiation problem here. The US and Russia can negotiate all they want but they can’t actually solve the problem between themselves. And the problem here is getting the Ukrainians – who enjoy the near-unconditional backing of the EU – to agree to peace terms the Russians find minimally acceptable while coughing up an amount of money the Americans find minimally acceptable. Key thing to remember here is that the Russians don’t mind if the Americans get paid and the Americans don’t care how many oblasts Ukraine has postwar.

      You can immediately see how this recontextualizes the discussion and gives Trump and Putin – two extraordinarily intelligent and quite snakey men – something to talk about for two and a half hours, of which they are never, ever going to divulge the details to the media. Which means that what we’re seeing right now isn’t the real negotiation. It’s an exercise in constructing the framework inside of which the real negotiation will be conducted.

      I’ll leave you with a final thought – the Russians are perfectly happy to fight at a very high intensity and conduct peace talks at the same time.
      🔻 Royrogers55: I’ve looked at the negotiations being much less about Ukraine specifically than both men looking towards the new world system and trying to trace out its structure moving forward. Ukraine is an afterthought at best. China’s success is a strategic threat to both the US and Russia, and India role in the mix has yet to be determined. The EU has committed demographic suicide with incompatible imports, but every advanced economy faces the same demographic set of problems. These negotiations are about the new global order and where the fault lines will be.

      “Thirty Pieces of Silver Ain’t Much

      I note there are a great many comments in my timeline and mentions in relation to the idea that the Russians will sell Iran down the river as part of some devil’s bargain with the Americans.

      Many are even enchanted by the notion that Russia can be persuaded to betray the Chinese, and ally with the Americans to “contain” China.

      I find it inconceivable that Russia would sell, as it were for thirty pieces of silver, all the international stature, trust, and good will it has attained over the course of the Putin era — only to then again be double-crossed by their supposed new friends.”

      and

      “🔹 Things many have now been persuaded to believe:

      • The US/Russia are going to form a mutually satisfying partnership
      • In favor of hopping in bed with the US, Russia will betray China and Iran
      • Russia will cease to demand that NATO withdraw its military to the 1997 borders

      I am not at all persuaded these bilateral US/Russia negotiations will proceed as smoothly as many seem inclined to believe.

      In fact, I think it likely these talks will result in the most dramatic and tension-packed escalation of the US/Russia standoff we have yet seen.”

      Reply to https://sovereignista.com/globalsouthforum/topic/the-hearty-salon-12-march-2025-open-thread/#post-54211  (why Mars?)

      Well that’s another question. The fellas who were going to do it are most all dead, and unavailable. The fellas who say they want to do it, with chemical rockets, give no clue, so far as I know. Maybe Mars is simply an excuse to spend and collect vast sums, and the fellas don’t care if they ever get there.

      I can say my hunch…

      There is a very deep canyon on Mars, at the bottom of which there may be geothermal heat and liquid water, even temperate conditions. The pressure, CO2 mind you is a heavy gas and Mars’ atmosphere is mostly CO2…the pressure at the bottom of this vast deep canyon may be 5 or more psi – if it is, a pressure suit would not be necessary, only an O2 mask. I’d like to see what’s living there. I have no serious doubt that there’s life on Mars, but what a place to explore!

      The reason I wrote about Orion is that if Musk and his fellow travelers are serious about flying people to Mars, the general method is clear, fast, fairly cheap, and already pretty well researched by DARPA. Much of the work on the drive remains classified, by the way. It has to do, evidently, with focusing and collimating radiation, as well as controlling the radiation spectra from special atomic gizmos. I’m guessing gamma is the preferred radiation. Think “atomic shaped charge”. iirc the 500 ton model would fly to orbit with one, just one, 0.5 KT explosion…they intended to “blast off” from Rockey Flats, Nevada. One might object that Treaty Law prohibits atmospheric and exo-atmospheric nuclear explosions. I would point out that neither treaties nor laws seem to restrain the current establishment.

      I am of opinion that a nuclear blast off from the ground might be avoided, and the ground blast might be chemical, , getting to 20 or 30 thousand feet before spitting out the 0.5 atomic charge. Once past the atmosphere I think they planned to used bigger gizmos. Anyway the fallout from a ground detonation could be minimal if they used chemical explosive to get clear of the dirt. I wonder how much nitro it takes to lift 500 tons to 30,000 feet… 😉

      The evident deductive implication is that Musk and the fellas don’t really want to go to Mars, ’cause if they did, they’d a done it.

      ⭕ The Middle East heading towards a new challenge: Iran and the US.

      The US war on Iran is no longer impossible, neither the participation of Iran’s allies if necessary. Indeed, the message sent by the US President , the “peace president”, to the Iranian leadership requests immediate guarantees to halt any advancement in the nuclear program, subject it to comprehensive Western oversight, cease interference in regional affairs, withdraw inwardly to focus solely on Iranian internal matters, and stop cooperation with any groups stretching from Yemen to Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine.

      Moreover, the message includes a direct threat, stating that if Iran does not comply with these demands, the Trump administration will feel compelled to deal with it differently (militarily). In response, several European countries have renewed warnings advising their citizens not to travel to Iran or urging those already there to leave Iranian territory immediately.
      [part of the function of the bombastic stream of consciousness is to hide these targeted nuggets, drowned out in the din and BS. But will be appreciated by the targeted peoples.

      repost of his old from Jul 2023:
      🧵 Thread of old tweets about the brilliant Kary Mullis, Nobel Prize-winning inventor of PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) — the so-called “test” for detecting things like SARS-COV-2. |THREAD|
      One thing is certain: if Kary Mullis had not “unexpectedly” died in August 2019, he would right now be shouting from the house tops the simple truth that his brilliant invention has been misused to manufacture an illusory global pandemic to serve nefarious agendas.
      🔻 I’m hunting wabbits: Here is an excellent mini documentary about his discovery and his character…
      [reposted just above]
      🔻 WS: Lots of people disparage Kary Mullis for his eccentricities. In my view, he was an autistic genius. His galaxy only partially intersected with that of “normal people”. I would love to have met him and spent a long weekend in the wilderness discussing the meaning of life.
      🔻 No Such Thing as Too Many Cycles 🐭🌸: I met him. He was vague, rambling, rude. Smart of course. A bit weird
      ⭕ ‼️ Polymerase Chain Reaction

      In my view, Kary Mullis’ revelation of the Polymerase Chain Reaction is one of the most significant scientific developments of the past century.

      That said, in order for his idea to become a practical invention, a “missing piece of the puzzle” needed to be found: a polymerase enzyme that could tolerate the high temperatures required to “unzip” the two sides of a DNA strand over the course of multiple replication cycles.

      Mullis stumbled upon a bacteria that had been discovered several years previous in the hot pools of Yellowstone National Park. The polymerase extracted from this bacteria (thermus aquaticus), contrary to prior assumptions about the survivability of organisms at high temperatures, proved able to survive at temperatures up to 90C. And, according to the PCR selection criteria (primer), it could then dice and slice DNA, and amplify the sequences the primer selected.

      PCR amplifies its selection exponentially. Run the loop 30 cycles and you’ll have a billion copies of whatever it is you thought you were looking for. Run it 40 or 50 cycles and you can essentially “find” anything in anyone.

      What does “finding” something actually mean in this context? Well, in the first place, if your selection criteria (primer) is misconceived or deficiently defined, the results of the selection (and subsequent amplification) are inherently flawed and very likely meaningless.

      On the other hand, the selection could be well-conceived and sufficiently well-defined, and yet “finding” it in a processed sample may not mean what your interpretation concludes it does.

      In the case of the PCR selection criteria for an assumed-to-be-virulent virus given the name “SARS-CoV-2”, it became apparent very early on in the illusory “pandemic” that “testing positive” had effectively zero correlation to “being sick”, and retrospective excess mortality statistics attest no inordinate deviation from the norm.

      Polymerase chain reaction is a method for selecting and exponentially amplifying a defined DNA sequence. The results of this selection mean nothing in and of themselves, and their “meaning” is entirely dependent on the logic and precision of the selection definition, and the logical coherence of their interpretation.

      Had Kary Mullis lived long enough to observe how his brilliant invention was used to misrepresent objective reality during the Covid hysteria, I am sure he would have been outraged.
      [I actually worked long ago as a grunt in the sequencing lab, helping a Monsanto subsidiary in Cambridge MA create GMOs, helping with frankenstein experiments such as grafting cold water fish genes into tomatoes, corn and other planted mines for the eugenicist future.
      More recently, in 2020, the WHO/CDC-led Medical Cartel juiced the cycling rates (iirc, requiring at ridiculous and meaningless 40+ cycles to most global Ministries of Health!), mandating at such a high threshold that a pandemic was guaranteed to manifest at most institutions which blindly followed them – and all western domain or controlled-vassals followed on command. Part of the C19 Con. Why I’ve slowly dissociated from criminals and no longer stand to read anything on covid or in western journals. Why i never fought the Saker or entered into those foodfights of divide et impera – it is a point of belief now with those who will refuse to accept billions like them were suckered. Especially the physicians and public health staff and academics! For this reason alone the C19 was a brilliant ploy by the Moshiach to plant permanent distrust between all adults worldwide, especially the overeducated ones. And a divided house does not stand]
      🔻 C1: The use of PCR testing during the Covid-19 outbreak is one of the biggest scientific frauds ever perpetrated.
      🔻 JC: One of the nasal membrane’s job is to filter out harmful pathogens & trap them so they don’t infect ur lungs. So let’s shove this q-tip to the very top of ur sinus, scrap some pathogens out, amplify their dna to an outrageous degree thru this gizmo & say u have Covid.
      🔻 C3: The test does not tell you if you have Covid.

      The test is extraordinarily accurate, false positives are so small as to be almost zero.

      This fact causes psychological problems in some people
      🔻 WS: You don’t have any idea what you’re talking about. It is not a “test” at all. But when fallaciously used as a “test”, it most certainly DOES return false positives in abundance when Ct>40. Anything that is so rare in you as to remain invisible until 40 cycles is not something to worry about.
      🔻 C4: It has fatal flaws.

      It can’t find anything in anyone, it can only find things that are there.
      🔻 WS: You’re so dense. It was something Mullis often said, sort of as a joke, but because it’s true: “Run enough cycles and you can pretty much find anything in anyone.”
      ⭕🔻 Scottsdale Mint: The White House just passed a new Executive Order that slashes regulations, fast-tracks US mining, and prioritizes domestic gold and other critical mineral production to secure our economy and reduce foreign mining reliance.

Well, Rummy didn’t live to see it, but destiny comes to other little minions who waited so long


      this entire video is based on delusion. That Iran would remain prostrate, AD taken off line, and would not during the process be wiping Zion off the map! Even if USUK itself engaged in such bombing, and it would need to, it could not sustain it for long using conventional means, and remain operative within 2,000 km radius. Iran has so many ballistic missiles, they ran outta storage space! Those are dispersed through a HUGE territory, and just as Hezbollah demonstrated AFTER being decapitated, can continue indefinitely on autonomous decentralized mode, from countless underground bases. They would take all three demons with them at zero hour – the ZioNazis, AngloNazis, and SalafiNazis. What sheer dementia. All that the current salivation to “hurt Iran” demonstrates is sheer ignorance and degeneration, due to miseducation, hubris, racism, and lack of learning capability. The odds are even more stacked than against the similarly touted UkroNazi “counteroffensive” which they kept bleating for six months before entering the Grinder and quickly changing topics.

        I rather agree with Alon above, that the risk of “civil war” is minimal in Zion. Mahmoud’s daily announcements of “full blown civil war” are premature. He is young and may not appreciate the way these deviances end. How many years has civil war been pronounced imminent in USA?? Prof Panarin drew his maps before some reading this site were born! And that is the location with more potential.

        Yes, they detest each other, and want to kill each other, but they fear the sea of enemies surrounding them more – into which they were stuck like a thrombosed hemorrhoid by the dying British Empire during its last gasps. Implosion is unlikely when such fear of the external environment trumps and drives the survival instinct.

        Plus key levers of hard power are already consolidated at hands of the Last Prez of Zion – who’s cleansed the top leadership of the military and police and political establishment. The Ashkenazi in the intel services and judiciary are being “re-educated” atm. And the people and their demonstrations will either be ignored or dealt with as famously observed by Herr Goering.

        This will end at the short swords of the Persians and Yemenis when they hit running the ground of the Holy Land, as prophesied long long ago

      ⭕ Earlier today, three rockets crossed the Israeli border from Lebanon, but Hezbollah denied involvement

      In return, Israel carrier out heavy airtrikes in southern Lebanon. IDF leadership says they are preparing for a response from Hezbollah and a possible return to war. |media|
      Continuous Israeli airstrikes throughout southern Lebanon
      ⭕ Meanwhile, the Lebanese Army found the launching spot of the 3 rockets, which were launched from improvised wooden rails, too primitive for Hezbollah |media|
      ⭕ NOTE:

      This is the first time Hezbollah ever publicly denied a rocket attack. In the past, it was clear by the nature of the attack whether Hezbollah was involved or not. It was not even needed to deny. But due to the political climate, especially the internal situation in Lebanon, a clarification was necessary despite the launch being obviously unrelated to Hezbollah.

      For months, actually for over a year now, many Lebanese have leveraged accusations at Hezbollah, saying it is taking the matters of the Lebanese State into its own hands. That it is Hezbollah which decides on peace and war, when it should be the Lebanese Government that does.

      So, Hezbollah’s position now is clear: The party fought for 1 year and 2 months against the Israeli enemy, in a battle it did not need to get involved in for its own sake, rather they saw it as their religious and moral obligation to support Gaza when no one else did. Towards the end of this battle, especially in the last months, Hezbollah took some major blows, which shook the foundation of the Resistance apparatus in Lebanon. The pager attack, the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and so on. And then, to add onto all of that, Syria fell, and Lebanon elected a moderately anti-Hezbollah President.

      With all these current conditions in mind, it is not only unfeasible to return to an armed conflict with Israel at this point, it is also completely irresponsible. Hezbollah needs to focus on rebuilding, and it needs to spend its resources wisely, especially now the Syrian supply route is gone.

      It is very simple: Hezbollah is allowing the Lebanese State to deal with all the issues. It is allowing the Lebanese Government to handle the situation, just like those who oppose Hezbollah have always wanted. For all these years, it was Lebanon that needed Hezbollah. But now, it is Hezbollah that needs Lebanon. It is up to the Lebanese State to guarantee the Israeli adherence to the ceasefire. And most of the politicians in Lebanon know that Lebanon needs Hezbollah for its security, yet they are ungrateful and do not even provide the minimum.

      In the 1980’s, in 2000, in 2006, and in 2023-24, Hezbollah and the Shia gave their blood, and some of the Lebanese people gave them nothing but blame.

      Hezbollah is now staying silent and passive, partially because the current situation necessitates it, and partially because it will only show and reveal the true face of the Lebanese Government — it will show people that Hezbollah is, and always has been, necessary to secure the safety of Lebanon.

      Let the Lebanese Government prove their worth. If they can function, govern and secure their country without Hezbollah, then let them prove it, now is the time.

      Earlier today, the IOF claimed 3 rockets from South Lebanon struck Metulla. However, it says it cannot determine who exactly launched those rockets.

      This, however, did not stop Israel from bombing dozens of points within South Lebanon, with at least 4 martyrs so far.

      Of course, the US is threatening the Egyptian regime into compliance. |link|
      My assessment is that Benjamin Netanyahu, now facing an ICC arrest warrant for war crimes, has limited time remaining to continue his destructive campaign in Gaza. He likely has until the end of this month to demonstrate (how wrong he is) military success against Hamas and secure the release of Israeli prisoners by force, or risk being exposed for his strategic miscalculations.

      Once the new state budget is signed and approved by his government, Netanyahu may scale back military operations in Gaza. Nevertheless, political necessity might compel him to initiate another conflict or intensify aggression elsewhere, such as the West Bank or Lebanon, in order to maintain political stability and appease his far-right fanatic coalition.
      ⭕ If America truly wants to prevent another tragedy like October 7, it must uphold international law and fulfill its commitments by granting the rightful owners of the land a sovereign Palestinian state, as explicitly promised in the Oslo Accords in 1993-1995.
      ⭕ Israel said 5 rockets were fired from Lebanon into the northern region and claimed Hezbollah was responsible for the attack, the first since the ceasefire agreement that Israel did not honour. Obviously Israel will bomb positions in Lebanon now.
      ⭕ Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz recently declared, “Metula in exchange for Beirut,” signalling a dangerous shift in Israel’s rules of engagement, a non-strategic calculus but reckless bravado of a novice arrogant.

      Such a posture—threatening the destruction of a capital city in response to a border incident—abandons proportionality and strategic nuance in favour of blunt-force deterrence. If imposed, this tactic could easily spiral into another war Hezbollah is preparing for.

      Far from restoring deterrence, such remarks signal instability, raising the stakes for miscalculation and dragging Lebanon and Israel closer to the brink of another conflict.
      Israel has been bombing Lebanon daily without triggering the President and the prime minister’s reaction. In the first-rockets on Israel, Lebanese leaders are shouting but still doing nothing for the continuous occupation of further Lebanese territories. Today Israel is bombing a bit more than the usual but those who launched the rockets sent a message to Israel that its settlements are not safe.
      Since the outbreak of war on October 7, Israel has spent an estimated $42 billion on armament and military operations while incurring a further $65 billion in economic losses due to the disruption of key industries, mass mobilization of reservists, and the impact on tourism, trade, and domestic consumption.

      In addition to its financial toll, Israel’s destructive military campaigns have inflicted substantial economic damage in the region. In Gaza, sustained bombardment and infrastructure destruction have resulted in $53 billion in damages, effectively decimating the Strip’s economy. In Lebanon, Israeli strikes—particularly in the south, the Bekaa Valley and the suburb of Beirut—have caused an estimated $11 billion in losses, including damage to homes, farmland, public infrastructure, and the displacement of tens of thousands of civilians.
      One of the more ironic refrains in Lebanon’s political discourse comes from Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, who routinely declares that “the decision of war or peace is in the hands of the Lebanese authorities.”

      But the reality makes this statement almost farcical. Lebanon is in no position to declare war on anyone or enforce peace. Israel is violating Lebanon’s sovereignty, and the Lebanese officials and army can do nothing at all about it.

      In truth, decisions of war and peace in Lebanon are shaped far more by external actors and non-state forces than by the central government. Salam’s statement, repeated for diplomatic effect, only underscores the disconnect between Lebanon’s official narrative and its actual (lack of) power.

      [comment to his latest article, “Warnings from Israeli officials: Civil War No Longer Unthinkable – Elijah J. Magnier”]
      🔻 Nomadic-somm: how likely do you think it is?
      🔻 EM: There is a serious division within Israeli society, and that is positive for Gaza after the end of this month. Netanyahu will be forced to regain the negotiation, but he is not honest and will never be.
      ⭕ Since Israel violated the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, it has initiated relentless daily bombings, including today against Khan Younis and al-Mawasi, resulting in the deaths of over 850 Palestinians (20 this morning alone) and injuring approximately 1,500 others.

      Simultaneously, Israel has persistently bombarded Lebanon, flagrantly violating both the ceasefire agreement and United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, causing over 107 fatalities.

      Moreover, Israel has escalated its aggression toward Syria, seizing and occupying territory larger than the entire Gaza Strip without encountering significant resistance.

      At the same time, under the administration of a president who presents himself as committed to peace, the United States has conducted continuous daily airstrikes against Yemen—including attacks as recently as last night—in an effort to weaken Ansar Allah. Despite these military actions, the US has failed to reopen the Red Sea for Israeli commercial shipping, as Ansar Allah remains steadfast in its blockade, demanding the lifting of the humanitarian siege on Gaza. Consequently, the so-called “peace president” has jeopardised the security of Gaza, Lebanon, Syria and his naval fleet, with Ansar Allah’s leadership repeatedly targeting and threatening the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier.
      ⭕ There are at least TWO known programs all intelligence services, including hidden rooms you cross where data is sucked w/o your knowledge: One to decipher programs and break your password and another to download all the content, mainly the one deleted. |media|
      🔻 beetlejuice🇵🇸: At airports or anywhere?
      🔻 EM: The rooms are hidden at the crossing of all passengers At airports, the sucking of data is also available in many streets in several western countries and the programs are at embassy and Intel/security services.
      [one of the hallmarks of the AntiChrist/Moshiach is SPYING. And his Anglo minions took it fully to heart, starting with the first 007 in era of Queen Eliz I to the present day. By their fruits we recognize them]
      ⭕ Yesterday, Israel launched two consecutive waves of airstrikes against Lebanon, killing seven people and injuring at least forty others.
      🔻 Mary Contrary: Elijah do you think Hezbollah will reopen this front? At what point do they lose faith in this new regime
      🔻 EM: Hezbollah won’t start a war at least in the next year and a half.
      [IMO, at the end of which Lebanon will have ceased to exist. Without active Resistance, and there cannot be given the abject compradores in charge, devoid of self-preservation and honor, it will be eaten up like Syria. But that opens up another can of worms altogether – with Lebanon occupied and invaded like Gaza, a total guerrilla bloodletting can resume, at the end of which a Greater Syria will reappear. So grim days ahead for Lebanon. Hezbollah cannot fight the imperial-planned three-front war against Zion in south, HTS headchoppers in north, and traitors within Lebanon. It has chosen to focus on its 1/3 people and let the rest ungrateful arabs fend for themselves]
      ⭕ Benjamin Netanyahu’s moves to force out Shin Bet Director Ronen Bar, marginalise Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and replace IDF Chief of Staff Herzl Halevi with loyalist Eyal Zamir reflect a deliberate effort to consolidate power and neutralise the ‘gatekeepers’ – a term used to describe senior officials who act as an independent check on executive power. These actions, seen as part of a broader strategy to protect himself from legal accountability and maintain control over government policy.
      ⭕ BreakingNews:

      Israel has ordered the forcible evacuation of Gazans from the northern regions, compelling them onto a grueling four-day journey on foot, explicitly forbidding any use of vehicles or transport. This inhumane measure will inevitably force civilians to abandon almost all their belongings, allowing them only minimal provisions of food and water.

      Upon reaching their destination, they face an even greater catastrophe—no tents, shelters, or infrastructure await them, leaving families exposed to the elements and harsh conditions. This unprecedented cruelty is being inflicted upon a population that has already endured displacement more than eight times throughout the current conflict alone.

      Tragically, these measures align disturbingly with the plans of the so-called US “peace president,” perfectly complementing the objectives of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right extremist fanatic coalition, who aim to permanently displace the people of Gaza from the land of their ancestors in Palestine.
      ⭕ Is it the beginning of another Israeli war on Lebanon? My take to @AJEnglish |media|
      ⭕ While publicly calling for restraint, the so-called “Peace President” appears to be preparing for war—his second option with Iran is not diplomacy but escalation, and it threatens to ignite the entire Middle East, dragging US forces deeper into chaos.

      The F-35 Lightning II “Joint Strike Fighter” is destined to go down in military history as arguably the most ill-conceived, incompetently engineered, and combat-ineffectual large-scale production aircraft of the jet propulsion era.
      🔻 Eastern tractorist 🇪🇺: How effective are aircraft carriers with F35Bs? The logistics and maintenance on the sea have to be painful.
      🔻 WS: F-35Bs don’t fly off the big carriers. They are designed for the mostly decrepit US Wasp-class Amphibious Assault Ships, of which, iirc, only a couple have F-35B squadrons. Most still carry AV-8B Harriers.

      Only the USS Lincoln and USS Vinson carry F-35Cs — 10 each.

      ⁉️ Nuke Iran? 🤦‍♂️

      Ok, for all those people who seriously believe the US is going to launch a decapitating nuclear first strike against Iran, I have a few questions. Here is the first:

      How will these strikes be delivered?
      🔻 Rylko: Diego Garcia? The US teases b2 and b52 runs from the Indian Ocean towards Iran. Wont happen imo though
      🔻 WS: That doesn’t really address my question.

      Bear in mind, there are only three options I can think of right off hand: ICBMs, sub-launched Tomahawks, B-61 gravity bombs — and the efficacy of all three options is questionable.
      🔻 Rod Miller: Why? (not challenging this, but how can we bear something in mind if we don’t understand why it is?)
      🔻 WS: Those are the only means by which the US can deliver a nuclear weapon. At least that I’m aware of.
      🔻 Rod Miller: I mean: Why are they questionable? Any bomb has to be delivered by an aircraft — OK, dicey. And the Tomahawk is subsonic, so perhaps also dicey. But ICBMs sound very difficult to counter.
      🔻 WS: Very few of the silo-based US ICBMs are likely to exit the ground. The horror stories about the condition of the Minuteman III installations are beyond belief.

      US Trident II SLBMs are probably in better condition — but the recent British tests raise doubts.
      🔻 Rod Miller: That *would* be embarrassing: We tried to destroy Iran’s nuclear programme, but our nukes didn’t work.
      🔻 Literally Me: Why do we assume the US has not developed glide, cruise, or rocket assist strap on packages to the b61? We’ve seen how easy it is with jdam, jdam-er, glsdb, FAB, etc
      [those assist straps only further the distant by 20-70 km or so, according to design/country. Iran is 1,000s of km deep, with many installations far from coast. And their AD cover is 4-600km beyond the coast for missiles. So it is likely either thousands of Tomahawks mass-launched, or ICBMs..]
      🔻 Thingsneedtochange: Tomahawks.
      🔻 WS: Tomahawks work really well against countries that lack the ability to shoot them down. Otherwise, they are old and slow. And I doubt there are very many — as in maybe a few dozen — that are nuclear armed.
      🔻 Dr. Anton: Can Iran shoot down ICBMs?
      🔻 WS: They have untested missiles designed to do so.
      🔻 Rylko: Tomahawks from the Med sea and B-61 gravity bombs from Garcia.
      Delivery systems that would not guarantee to provoke a response from Russia. Tactical nukes and no ICBM’s if that better answers your question.
      🔻 DS: ICMB launch from North America would not be an option.
      [good point. It would raise significant risk with Russia-China-DPRK. Systems closer in, and perhaps avoiding even sub-launched ICBMs.. plays into Iranian defense, unless the satanists go full retard and launch against all opponents at once]
      🔻 Marked safe from Western Propaganda: Scott Ritter talked about it earlier Garland Nixons show with Andrei
      🔻 WS: What was Martyanov’s reaction to Ritter’s assertion that the US will use nukes against Iran?
      [Typical islamophobia. Full agreement with Scotty that Yanquis “have right” , to paraphrase, to nuke Iran, to deny Iran their own nukes, because … well they’re Mullahs. Some will go to the grave with their hatreds]
      🔻 Scott Ritter: B-2 bombers and Trident missiles.

      It’s the logical inference from the nuclear posture guidance directing the creation of B61-12, and for the W-76-2.

      Next?
      [Scotty enters the chat!]
      🔻 WS: The B-2 is a big, fat, old, slow, not-particularly-stealthy aircraft that the Russians and Iranians will see coming from a LONG way off, and which they can almost certainly target and kill.

      A Trident packing a 7kt W-76-2 is not going to make an appreciable dent in Iran’s deep underground sites, and they certainly aren’t going to eliminate Iran’s capability to shoot back afterwards.

      There is no doubt the US can kill a few million Iranian civilians with nuclear strikes, but there is no way they are going to be able to disarm Iran with a nuclear first strike.

      Furthermore, if the US launches a nuclear strike against Iran, it will mean war against Russia and China, for the simple reason that they (the US) will have revealed themselves to be crazy lunatics that must be confronted and stopped immediately.
      [our redoubtable Marine leaves the chat. When he receives the next memo with the proper talking points, he’ll return to the chat…]
      🔻 Nik Stankovic: For the last paragraph I wonder if that is true.

      Consider another scenario: would US go to war with Russia if Russia nuked Kiev?

      Lots of people would say “of course”. But would it? Trade New York for Odessa? And Los Angeles for Kharkov?
      [false equivalence. 404 is the proxy nazi aggressor being put down. Iran is the sovereign defender who never invaded and attacked any Anglo pirate living 10,000 km away]
      🔻 WS: I adamantly disagree that Russia and China would “stand down” if the US nukes Iran. In my view, both the Russians and the Chinese would regard a nuclear attack against Iran as an existential threat against them both.
      [yep]
      🔻 Ryan Dwyer: There is no chance either would retaliate. It wouldn’t even be given substantial consideration.
      🔻 WS: [posts in reply this excerpt from earlier]
      🔻 Nik Stankovic: I think China most definitely would. Would Russia die for Iran? I am sorry I just don’t buy that.

      I think Russia/China relationship with Iran is solid. But die for them? I don’t think so.

      I don’t think US would die for UK, much less Germany or France. All of it makes sense for me.

      Die here means entire nation disappear, because that is what we are talking about with nuclear weapons. Not having 10K-20K soldiers die on some battlefield. That’s potentially tolerable.
      🔻 WS: 📜 All for One and One for All
      🔻 Nik Stankovic: Call me skeptical.

      Flashback to say 1999. NATO bombs Serbia. Russia is pissed off. Russia’s VP plane heading for the US turns around mid-Atlantic as first NATO bombs fall on Serbia.

      Many in Serbia say “Russia will threaten to nuke the US, this will end in no time”.

      Does Russia do that? No. Russia protests, calls UN Security Council sessions, even sends a few AA missiles on a diplomatic missions (or so the story goes). Later it would send a few tanks to Kosovo to confront NATO.

      But it never threatens to nuke NATO.

      Many Serbs are disappointed and think Russia betrayed Serbia.

      I don’t think so. Are people crazy? That’s now how things work. Nuclear is nuclear, it’s the end.

      Russia is not nuking Kiev today not because it’s afraid anyone would nuke it back. They just don’t think it’s necessary, and there would be a cost, diplomatic and economic, and of course moral. But not reciprocal.

      Same thing for Iran. If Iran was nuked, US/Israel would pay a very high price. But they would not be nuked by Russia or China. Sure, they would protest, sanction and cut off ties. They wouldn’t nuke in response for Iran.

      That is the reality.
      🔻 WS: I made no suggestion that Russia would actually nuke the US. But they would know beforehand if the US was seriously contemplating a nuclear attack against Iran, and might very well announce Iran was being taken under the Russian nuclear umbrella in order to deter it.

      And, it should also be noted that 1999 was a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away.
      🔻 Nik Stankovic: I think Russia would put in “best effort” it does not happen. Putin would call Netanyahu and Trump and “sternly warn that there will be serious consequences if they attack Tehran with nukes” (we already know nothing happens with conventional).

      It might work. However, if Israel and US choose to ignore the warning, I just don’t think anything more than financial, humanitarian, economic and even military aid would happen from Russia or China. Military aid being some missiles and perhaps even some boots on the ground to maintain sovereignty.

      To be fair to US (Trump) and Israel, I don’t think they would go into it lightly. They know they would pay a very high price for it. It would be the official end of the empire.
      [put it this way, and it may mirror imperial mindsets, maybe Russia & China ARE taking stronger lines. Permitting this type of savagery to be unleashed will harm them too in the end, so the time to avert it is at the very beginning, per Father Niemöller or the parable of the Three Bulls & the Lion]
      🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: Irrespective of how strikes could be delivered, I don’t believe Russia or China would go to war if they were.
      🔻 WS: There are many different ways to fight a war these days.

      We’ve just witnessed the US fight a war against Russia for over three years without “formally” being in a state of war.

      I don’t understand why this concept remains so hard to understand when placed in a different context.
      🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: My mistake. I thought you were saying that Russia and/or China would militarily defend Iran if she came under nuclear attack. I don’t believe. for one minute, that they would risk nuclear war with the US over Iran.
      🔻 AlaskaJon: Incredible people can’t comprehend the different ways to fight a war that are staring them in the face.
      [and all begun by the Empire of Lies which has refused to declare formal wars since WW2… coming to bite them in the ass]
      🔻 trolley problem enjoyer🚃🛤️: As they do against Yemen. No formal declaration of war, but the missile stocks are getting depleted and the ships are getting worn down. Doing it officially means more oversight, unofficially means less caution. But it’s always a figleaf for failed politics.
      🔻 Framed Mollusk: I don’t want this to happen to Iran. But if it does, and USA launches serious attack including nukes, Iran will buckle as fast as Iraq. Nobody should have any illusions about that. Neither China nor Russia will step in to fight that war.
      🔻 WS: I would not make that bet. Iran 2025 bears no resemblance whatsoever to Iraq in 1991 or 2003.

      And you are misinformed about how Russia and China would react to a US nuclear strike against Iran.
      🔻 Winsome Pines: Once a country uses a nuke, it’s existential for everyone. That country cannot be trusted not to first strike ANY country. All nukes would be unleashed. MAD.
      [Likely not unleashed, but a lowered threshold of future use which would through miscalculation, accident or fear likely lead to the next use. A self-licking ice cream cone, like the US hog trough]
      🔻 Caligula’s Horse: Question is timing. The Russians and Chinese would conclude that the US regime is a rabid dog that needs to be put down. But putting it down might require careful planning and coordination such that the world isn’t ended. There would be retaliation – but perhaps not immediately.
      [exactly. If this conclusion has not already been reached, which I suspect it may have been by Feb 4, 2022, at the start of the Beijing Olympics]
      🔻 Minotaur: @nikstankovic_ not only I agree with @imetatronink but I think that in the past 3 years we have come quite close to a first strike from Russia and China happening.

      US lack of rational leadership, its actions and words, certainly made the question to be discussed, I think.
      🔻 Boss Boss: Submarines. But what s the point?
      🔻 WS: So … old, slow Tomahawk cruise missiles? Likely to get shot down, and incapable of significant penetration. Sure, you could probably kill a few million civilians in Tehran, but you’re not going to meaningfully degrade Iranian counterstrike capability.
      [scorched earth retreat. And to set Iran back awhile, for Pax Judaica to breath alittle while longer, and lord it over holocausted arabs, before the demons are expunged]
      🔻 Tabby: But they will use this to start a civil war & throw Ayotollahs out
      [good point. a political move, to seed unrest or at the least chaos for a while]
      🔻 Boss Boss: Well then ICBMs. Still no point either. If the iranians destroy Aramco we are screwed.
      🔻 SIMPLICIUS Ѱ: Most people don’t realize US can only deliver them via gravity bombs, requiring the “invisible” F-35s to fly directly over Iran’s air defenses. That’s not believable for obvious reasons, not least of which being F-35 doesn’t have the combat range to reach most internal targets inside Iran and back.
      🔻 Dan Lynch: What about missiles launched from subs? Other than the fact that Iran may be able to intercept our missiles.
      🔻 SIMPLICIUS Ѱ: That would risk nuclear holocaust as Russian (and potentially Chinese, etc.) ballistic missile detection would assume the missiles are a first strike, which would allow an immediate “total nuclear exchange” response destroying the U.S.
      🔻 WS: Even if the Russians and Chinese were informed beforehand, I strongly believe it would mean war against them if the US did something crazy like nuke Iran.

      Nuking Iran, imo, is so crazy even the fools in Washington aren’t dumb enough to do it.
      🔻 newscooters: Just one nuke would set an awful precedent. Soon, it would be just one more.
      🔻 PJ 🦧: I’d never say they aren’t dumb enough to do it. American exceptionalism has rotted the brain
      🔻 Framed Mollusk: The issue is, US may see this as existential need. Their conventional power is diminishing, and they need fear. Trump loves to be feared. 1+1=2.
      🔻 Dale Dick: Hope youre right. Theres higher levels of malignent idiocy in this new admin than even Bush 2 I think
      🔻 Tod🏁🚩🏴🏳️: Somehow you attempt at lifting our morale is making me even more paranoid.
      [LOL. Welcome to the Apocalypse]
      🔻 Jesterus The Catificator: AGM-86 is still in service in the nuclear variant (W80 warhead, basically the same as B61 uses), carried by B-52. Only conventional AGM-86 variants were retired.
      🔻 WS: Ok, let’s add the old, slow AGM-86 to the list.

      Suppose they launch, say, 50 of them, and half get shot down by Iranian AD (not at all out of the question).

      They have negligible penetrating power, and are unlikely to do meaningful damage to deep underground installations.
      🔻 Jesterus The Catificator: I agree. But it is a viable option. It requires use of the even more ancient B-52, but if the AD gets saturated (with the use of other targets), it’s still a perfectly useful weapon. Lightyears better than a free fall bomb, and much less risky.
      Still a dumb idea anyway.
      🔻 HOBOTOWN3439: B2 , Isreali F-35 with bunker busters. B-
      52 or B1. Sea launch tomahawk F18 growlers running point and super hornet support. Major cyber attacks first on Iran. They must guarantee a major knock-out blow. My own opinion is that this will be a mess from the beginning.
      🔻 WS: Where they gonna launch F/A-18s from? Look at a map. Do the math.

      And I just cannot believe any sort of gravity bomb can be delivered in the teeth of Iranian AD.

      Iran is a very big place, and they can shoot back.
      🔻 Neanderthal Intellectual: US subs carry Trident II D5 missiles as well.
      🔻 WS: Yeah, that’s an ICBM. Is that the choice? Because there are some serious issues gonna arise if US subs start lobbing ICBMs around.
      🔻 Thomas Stockmann: B-2? Isn’t penetrating advanced AD for nuclear strikes its original intended mission? That said, it’s a shame the imaging satellites China claims the ability to detect stealth aircraft with probably don’t cover Iran. A B-2 getting shot down would be an epic blow to US pride
      🔻 WS: I double-dare a B-2 to fly over Iran — assuming they can actually get a couple of them airborne.
      🔻 Thomas Stockmann: Not advocating it, rather just assuming it would have a greater chance of success than an F-35, no? Would enjoy hearing about how that assumption is wrong.
      🔻 WS: The B-2 is a big, fat, old, slow, not-particularly-stealthy aircraft that the Russians and Iranians will see coming from a LONG way off, and which they can reliably target and kill.
      🔻 Thomas Stockmann: I was aware the B-2 is pretty old but figured for the price it would still outperform the joke that is the F-35, interesting.
      🔻 looooool 🇦🇺🇮🇹: The only thing I can think of is Iranian AD systems providing a protective shield against any nuclear attack. Perhaps that is so but I’m not so sure
      🔻 Rod Miller: No effective defence against ICBMs exists, as far as I know.
      Read Annie Jacobsen’s “Nuclear War — a scenario”. If, that is, you don’t mind spending the following nights staring rigid at the ceiling.
      🔻 WS: If the Russians can shoot down ATACMS with their Buk systems, then I’ll bet they stand a very good chance of shooting down ICBMs with their S-500s.
      🔻 گُم گشتہ: Will, sorry to interfere with a less relevant question. The Yemeni claim every now and then that they fired “Palestine-2 hypersonic missile” on Tel Aviv, but it seems they’re all intercepted by Israeli AD. Are Yemeni lying or Israeli AD can now shoot down HS missiles?
      🔻 WS: There have been a few successful strikes by the Palestine-2. But it doesn’t appear to be super-duper reliable at the far limits of its range (~2000 km). They also haven’t launched very many of them. I don’t believe the Israelis shot down any. I think they just fell short.
      🔻 Shehu Sada🇳🇬 شيحو سد: Well Iran is not Syria, they will retaliate, maybe hit Washington, they have the capacity and the ability, and Trump knows it. I believe this a game of chicken.
      🔻 WS: Iran can’t hit Washington. But they don’t really need to. They just need to retain most of their counterstrike capability following a US nuclear strike.

      And I am convinced that, if the US uses nukes against them, we will soon discover Iran is not alone.
      🔻 Khaled Bin Ali🔻 خالد بن على: Is Diego Garcia within Iranian missiles reach?
      🔻 WS: Very doubtful.
      🔻 Tinu: yes without nuclear weapons iran is weak
      🔻 James O’Malley: Top five military power with 100 million people is weak? 🤡 Go do some research kid.
      🔻 Tinu: compared to usa its weak
      🔻 James O’Malley: In some ways, but the USA can’t deploy much of its strength to the middle east. We couldnt even deploy 25-50k men into the theater currently. That’s nothing. We are only able to lob missiles and run away or hide. Iran is a huge nation.
      🔻 Tinu: usa can take down the power grid in 3 days
      🔻 James O’Malley: Probably not. Iran has a good air force and some of the best air defenses in the world. Plus any air base in the middle east would be put out of commission in an hour by iranian missiles and drones.
      🔻 Tinu: Iran doesn’t have an air force Usa doesn’t need Air base to hit Iran
      🔻 James O’Malley: Iran has the second largest air force in the middle east and the second largest number of aces next to Israel in the middle east. Iran has over 300 operational combat aircraft ready to go. USA has very limited strike capacity if flying all the way from the USA. Duh.
      🔻 Tinu: All iranian planes are decommissioned US airplanes you are out of touch
      🔻 James O’Malley: Wrong. @grok give me basic Iranian air force numbers of operational combat aircraft.
      [these two could stand for Oliver & Hardy, playing ping pong til Kingdom Come. And best, no rancor. Just back and forth, back and forth. The wonders of twitterworld]
      🔻 WS: Iran’s air force is unlikely to be a meaningful factor in the scenario we are discussing. Iran’s air defenses and counterstrike capability against US/Israeli bases and ships are its only meaningful strengths against a US/Israel attack.
      🔻 James O’Malley: Are you implying the Iranian air wouldnt be a factor in a conventional attack against Iran? If so that is easily debunked.
      🔻 WS: As I have written previously, I think the most likely use of the Iranian air force would be launching long-range AA missiles against US/Israeli refueling tankers. If successful, that would be a very meaningful achievement.

      retweet of Sony Thang thread:
      🔻 Scott Ritter:
      Let’s make this as clear as possible:

      Iran is a signatory to the NPT.

      It has been since 1970.

      Iran is not allowed to have nuclear weapons.

      Iran has said it is not seeking nuclear weapons.

      Iran’s Supreme Leader has issued a religious edict prohibiting Iran from having nuclear weapons.

      So everyone should be in agreement:

      Iran is committed to adhering to a treaty obligation which prohibits it from having nuclear weapons.

      There is no clause that provides an exception to this obligation because Israel has nuclear weapons.

      Not even Iran makes that argument.

      Last year a succession of Iranian leaders made statements which, when viewed in totality, call into question Iran’s intent when it comes to nuclear weapons.

      In February 2024 Ali Akbar Salehi, a former leader of Tehran’s nuclear program, said that Iran possesses all the necessary components for a nuclear weapon.

      In April 2024 Ahmad Haghtalab, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander who serves as the head of security for Iran’s nuclear sites declared “It is possible and conceivable to revise the Islamic Republic of Iran’s nuclear doctrine and policies to deviate from previously declared considerations.”

      And in October 2024 nearly 40 members of parliament sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, its top security policymaking body, requesting that the council revise the defense doctrine of the Islamic Republic of Iran to permit development of nuclear weapons.

      Statements such as these have prompted President Trump to make the denuclearization of Iran a top priority.

      Trump recently sent a letter to Iran’s Supreme leader in which a stark choice was offered: negotiate or go to war.

      Iran has indicated any attack against its nuclear facilities would likely cause them to change their nuclear doctrine.

      It is believed Iran could rapidly move to build a believable nuclear weapon within a few weeks once the decision was made.

      It is believed Iran’s critical nuclear infrastructure is buried deep underground.

      So deep no conventional munitions could destroy them.

      If Trump were to attack Iran’s nuclear infrastructure with conventional munitions that failed to achieve their objective of destruction, an Iranian nuclear weapon would be all but assured.

      This is why Trump ordered the US nuclear posture and employment plans to be altered so that low-yield nuclear weapons possessing the ability to destroy underground facilities such as those housing Iran’s nuclear program would be developed and deployed.

      Today the US has two nuclear weapons specifically fielded for this purpose: the B61-12 gravity bomb and the W-76-2 low yield nuclear warhead for use on the Trident submarine launched missile.

      Both weapons are operational and deployed where they could readily be used against Iran.

      If Trump were to attack Iran’s nuclear infrastructure with the goal of guaranteeing its destruction, he would have to use nuclear weapons preemptively.

      This fits in with both the nuclear posture and implementation plan Trump signed off on which Iran specifically in mind.

      There are those who say that by making this assessment, I am advocating for a nuclear strike on Iran by the US.

      This simply isn’t true.

      I’m providing an assessment, not soliciting in favor of war.

      A war with Iran would be a disaster.

      A nuclear attack on Iran by the US would be catastrophic.

      I am firmly against both.

      But that won’t stop me from providing the most accurate analysis of what I believe is actually happening today regarding Iran, whether I support such policies or not. |THREAD|
      🔻 Sony Thang:
      Scott, let me make something clear for you.

      Because you mistake legalism for justice, and treaties for truth.

      If Israel, a rogue apartheid state that’s never signed the NPT, sits on a pile of undeclared nuclear warheads with full U.S. backing, then Iran not only can seek nuclear weapons.

      It should.

      You speak of the NPT as if it’s sacred scripture.

      But what good is a treaty that binds the weak and exempts the strong?

      What good is “nonproliferation” when it’s enforced at gunpoint by the only nation that’s used nuclear weapons—twice?

      America didn’t sign the NPT to keep peace.

      It signed it to preserve monopoly.

      It didn’t give Israel nukes for stability.

      It did it to maintain strategic supremacy.

      So don’t come here quoting edicts, agreements, or moral high ground.

      There is none.

      Not when the U.S. invades Iraq on lies.

      Not when Israel flattens Gaza with impunity.

      Not when Washington threatens nuclear annihilation while pretending to “defend the rules-based order.”

      What you’re really saying is simple:

      Iran must obey.

      Israel may do as it pleases.

      That’s not law.

      That’s empire.

      And history teaches us one thing about empire:

      It doesn’t negotiate out of generosity.

      It negotiates when it’s forced to.

      You say Iran could build a bomb in weeks.

      Good.

      Because what deters a nuclear strike isn’t a treaty.

      It’s retaliation.

      You say Trump may strike first with low-yield nukes?

      Then Iran has every right to prepare to strike back.

      With whatever it must.

      You call that destabilizing?

      No.

      What’s destabilizing is a world where one side gets to bomb, sanction, and blackmail, while the other is told to die politely.

      You say you’re not advocating war?

      But your entire logic is war’s prelude.

      It’s the same cold calculus that justified Hiroshima.

      The same doctrine that made genocide “strategic.”

      I come from Vietnam, Scott.

      We know what empire looks like up close.

      We know the smell of napalm and the taste of defiance.

      And we know this:

      You do not get to kill millions, then lecture the survivors on restraint.

      So if the U.S. and Israel insist on threatening Iran with nuclear fire?

      Then Iran has every right to meet fire with fire.

      That’s not escalation.

      That’s balance.

      That’s how power speaks when justice is denied.

      And that’s the only language empire ever truly respects.

      Would Russia respond to a nuke attack on Iran? (above discussion)

      Quote> “The scenarios under which Russia could theoretically use nuclear weapons are outlined in Russia’s military doctrine and the “Fundamentals of State Policy in the Field of Nuclear Deterrence.”
      According to the documents, this is possible in the event of aggression against Russia or its allies using weapons of mass destruction or aggression using conventional weapons, when the existence of the state itself is threatened.” https://sputnikglobe.com/20240925/putin-nuclear-triad-remains-key-guarantee-of-russias-state-and-citizen-security-1120286442.html

      ⭕ “Can Zelensky Survive?” Wrong Question. It’s Not His War Anymore

      The Western press is breathless again. Trump’s envoy to the Middle East (Kellogg was never up to the task) yes, the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has stumbled into geopolitical reality in his long-form interview with Tucker Carlson, uttering the forbidden truth: the territories don’t want to go back to Ukraine.

      The Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics. Zaporozhye. Kherson. The referendums are real. The will of the people was crystal clear. The Russian language, culture, bloodlines, and identity have always tied them to Moscow, not Lvov, not Brussels, and certainly not Foggy Bottom.

      And yet Witkoff, to his credit, finally pointed out the elephant tap-dancing through every Western think tank boardroom: “The people overwhelmingly voted to be under Russian rule.”

      His concern, however? Whether Zelensky can politically survive acknowledging this fact.

      That’s the wrong question.

      Because this is not about Zelensky’s political career, his legacy, or even his survival. He’s always been a disposable, failed actor. This is about capitulation. Total. Unconditional. Non-negotiable.

      If Zelensky can politically survive the loss of Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye and Kherson, then he can damn well “survive” ceding Odessa, Kharkov, Chernigov, Sumy, and every historic Russian land west and east of the Dnieper. Ukraine as a fiction of empire is collapsing. Malorossiya is coming home.

      Let’s not pretend there’s parity here. Russia is not bargaining.
      Moscow’s conditions are not hypothetical, they are geographic, historic, and now militarily enforced.

      Putin, patient and polite as ever, nodded during talks. He welcomed Trump’s overtures. But Russia has already won the war that matters. The demographic, cultural, and linguistic lines are already redrawn. The Russian tricolor now flies where no NATO bluster can unseat it.

      Witkoff naively called it the “central issue” of the conflict.
      Wrong again. The central issue isn’t what Kiev wants or can concede.
      It’s what Russia will dictate at the inevitable signing table of surrender.

      Because let’s be clear:
      • Russia holds massive military advantage, not just in the field, but in strategic tempo.
      • Russia has total internal unity and public support.
      • Russia is dictating the shape of post-conflict Eurasia.

      Meanwhile, Zelensky is juggling defeat after battlefield defeat, terrorist drone strikes deep into Russian territory that backfire diplomatically, and watching his Western sponsors pivot to damage control. He’s a burnt-out actor reading lines from a fading script.

      This isn’t a negotiation. It’s the final act of a failed empire project.

      The US knows it. Trump’s team knows it. Even Macron’s trembling wine glass knows it.

      So let the West continue their diplomatic theater. Let them hold conferences in London, Paris, shuttle envoys to Riyadh, and debate ceasefires in committee rooms.

      In the real world, the one carved by multipolar momentum, the lines have been drawn, the lands reclaimed, and history rewritten in favor of Russia.

      And if the Kiev regime thinks Odessa will be spared? They don’t know how this story end.

      Registered as a non-nuclear weapons state in 1982, thereby accepting the very premise of the treaty you seem to be rejecting—that there are, indeed, haves and have nots in the world of nuclear weapons.

      That entered into a binding safeguards agreement with the IAEA in 1990, and the additional protocol in 2012, committing to the same obligations as Iran.

      The Vietnam that became a member of the IAEA Board of Governors in 2021.

      The Vietnam that voted in October 2024 to condemn Iran for engaging in the very Iranian behavior that you are praising.

      You think quoting IAEA protocols, board appointments, and diplomatic votes somehow erases the memory of craters, corpses, and chemical fires.

      You think a flag at a table means the past is buried.

      It isn’t.

      Vietnam may sign treaties with the West.

      But Vietnam’s soul remembers the cost of listening to Western promises.

      You’re right: Vietnam joined the NPT.

      Because we believed, for a moment, in peace.

      Not in inequality.

      Not in permanent second-class status for the Global South.

      We signed with the hope that nuclear weapons would be rolled back universally.

      Not used to preserve Western dominance while Israel stockpiles and the U.S. plots preemptive strikes.

      So no—I don’t speak for the protocol signers.

      I speak for the generation that crawled through tunnels while B-52s erased entire provinces.

      I speak for the children still deformed by Agent Orange.

      I speak for the poets who wrote by candlelight under bombing raids.

      And I speak for every nation told to obey rules that the powerful ignore the moment they become inconvenient.

      You ask if I speak for Vietnam?

      Let me ask you this:

      Do you speak for the United States?

      Do you speak for the same U.S. that pulled out of the JCPOA, shredded treaties with Russia, rejected the ICC, and armed Israel’s open-air slaughterhouse in Gaza?

      Do you speak for the America that taught the world “international law” means nothing if you sit atop the throne?

      Because if you do—then no wonder you think law is static, and hypocrisy is policy.

      You said earlier that “history holds America accountable.”

      No, Scott.

      That’s just what empire says when it thinks it’s safe.

      History doesn’t hold you accountable.

      We do.

      And Iran, like Vietnam before it, does not need permission from its violators to resist.

      Whether with a rifle, a pen, or a nuclear warhead.

      So mock all you want.

      Your arrogance isn’t impressive.

      It’s exposed.

      And it ends the way all imperial arrogance ends.

      Not with applause.

      But with reckoning.
      🔻 Scott Ritter: Thanks for allowing this insight into the alternative reality that defines your universe.

      In the real world there is the NPT.

      Iran signed it.

      And shall be accountable to it.

      Whether your revisionist soul likes it or not.

      🔻 Sony Thang: Scott, in your “real world,” the law is only law when it chains the enemy.

      In your “real world,” Israel—a nuclear-armed apartheid regime that never signed the NPT—commits open genocide in Gaza, assassinated Iranian scientists, launched countless wars of aggression, and no one holds it “accountable.”

      Why?

      Where is this righteous, rules-based order when Tel Aviv builds doomsday weapons in the shadows?

      When was Israel ever dragged before your “international law”?

      When did the West ever sanction its nukes?

      Nowhere.

      Because in your world, the strong write the rules in ink and erase them in blood.

      So let me return the favor:

      Thanks for this glimpse into the psychological theater of Western hypocrisy.

      Where treaties are holy only when they shackle those the empire fears, and ignored the moment they restrain its attack dog.

      You call my words “revisionist”?

      No, Scott.

      What’s revisionist is pretending the NPT was ever meant to be just.

      What’s revisionist is pretending Hiroshima wasn’t a genocidal warning shot to the world.

      What’s revisionist is pretending America honors treaties.

      When it tears them up, from Iran to Russia, the moment they become inconvenient.

      And what’s delusional is imagining that Iran must submit forever.

      While its scientists are murdered, its people sanctioned, its sovereignty violated.

      All while Israel stockpiles nuclear warheads under Western protection.

      So tell me, Scott:

      Where is Israel in your “real world”?

      Is it above the law?

      Outside the treaty?

      Or is it simply your exception that proves the rule?

      That might makes right, and empire never binds itself to the chains it forges for others?

      You see, you don’t actually believe in law.

      You believe in obedience.

      Iran signed the NPT, yes.

      But unlike Israel, unlike the U.S., it hasn’t violated it.

      Yet here you are—threatening it with nuclear annihilation unless it bows.

      That’s not “nonproliferation.”

      That’s psychological projection.

      That’s empire staring into a mirror and fearing the day someone refuses to kneel.

      And if that day comes?

      It won’t be a violation of law.

      It’ll be the first time the law of power cuts both ways.

      And that, Scott, is the part your “real world” was never prepared for.
      🔻 Africa is beautiful: The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty is a con game. It presupposes that only the West can be trusted to handle nuclear weapons safely, which is an utter fallacy. The only reason they wouldn’t want countries like Iran to have nuclear weapons is that it would neutralize their power to blackmail these countries into submission.
      Gaddafi gave up his nuclear weapons program, and we all know the fate that befell him.
      🔻 Will Anders: Great response, Sony. I don’t know what happened to many US Americans I used to listen to, but whatever it is, it is something dark.
      🔻 𝐃𝐎𝐏𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐃𝐄𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐓: These marines go to war because of the propaganda they believe. It doesn’t have to be balanced or just. The fact is that they believe the commander and are ready to die for it.

      Agreement is a weapon of mass destruction.

      WE ARE WITNESSING THE COLLAPSE OF WESTERN VALUES.

      Take, for instance, Israel and nuclear weapons.

      If you actually followed my position, you’d know I condemn Israel’s possession of nuclear weapons and repeatedly called out the hypocrisy of the US in facilitating the Israeli nuclear weapons program. That I’ve repeatedly called for Israel’s nuclear disarmament.

      But instead of doing your research, you post some inane analogy about weightlifting.

      Sadly, you are typical of the genre.
      🔻 Yuliana Dlugaj 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇰🇵: If you condemn Israel for having nukes—a U.S. client state fully backed by your government—you can’t argue against Iran possibly wanting to achieve parity, regardless of what piece of paper they signed or didn’t.

      There is a sizable effort going on, from Vietnamese as well as from Chinese, to rip the false values away from the Scott Ritters of our world.  It is wild and it is serious.  They are on different threads and this is becoming a movement.

      No, it is not only Scott that they want to batter (the term is ream a new asshole, I learned in the US) – behind this is a strong and grassroots belief that the US will not this time get away from its excesses, by pretending peace to the Russians ..  like it did in the previous years.  As soon as a little time opens up, I’ll copy these and make a post.  This is something that we need to give attention to.  It is a different resistance from a different societal group.

      Do you have a link to the full interview from which this excerpt was made?
      🔻 The Nutter Projects: Here you go will: |link|
      [this is the sane side of the internet. Like watching cat videos or south african lions to detoxify. Avoid howling western legion for peace of mind!!]
      🔻 WS: 🔸 Fascinating Thread

      Highly recommended.
      Color me dubious that this proposition, assuming it is even true, has any probability of coming to fruition — mainly because I think it could very well be strongly opposed by the Americans.

      Ponder the optics of the US vacating the region and being effectively replaced by China.
      [in response to deleted tweet that appears to discuss China joining the EuroCrazies “peacekeeper” force in 404. DOA, refuted by China herself yesterday, see above. And Russia’s position has changed to “no peacekeepers from anywhere”. Full stop. They’d just be used as human shields to prolong the agony by criminal NATO.]
      🔻 Koen: China would simply do this as a favor? Get involved in a potentially volatile geopolitical situation?

      Doesn’t sound like something China would do
      🔻 Levi Zendt: Dubious if not absurd even if the U.S. factor is completely set aside. Russia will play ball in their back yard when they need to with China. They most likely never will on this issue.
      🔻 Arnaud Bertrand: Trump did say “China can help us stop the war with, in particular, Russia-Ukraine … they have a great deal of power over that situation, and we’ll work with them” |link|
      ⭕🔻 Brian Berletic: 🇺🇸🇷🇺 The conflict in Ukraine is a US proxy war with Russia, not a war between Ukraine and Russia.

      The US can’t “mediate” between Russia and Ukraine, the US itself is a co-belligerent.

      The US engineered this war and each day provides Ukraine AND Europe with the material resources, intelligence, and directives to continue the war.

      Each day this war continues is the US choosing to continue it. At any time of its choosing the US can end this war.

      The Trump administration has chosen to not only continue the war, it is using negotiations to stall any decisive conclusion in Russia’s favor as it openly commands Europe to double down on and if possible, freeze the war for continuation at a later date.

      As the US openly wages war and proxy war in the Middle East and threatens even wider war with Iran all while continuing to encroach upon and threaten China, the notion America wants “peace” with Russia is a fevered dream among those who’ve lost their ability to reason amid a tidal wave of false hope.

      The US needs time and space to defeat its enemies – including Russia – in detail. Negotiations are a means to pose as wanting peace, while buying that time and space for winning its many and multiplying wars.
      🔻 WS: 🎯 Yes. Precisely this.

      📜 The Ontological Incoherence of American Imperial Exceptionalism
      [he adds excerpt just above, of fatal miscalculations informing current writhing and legerdemain]
      ⭕🔻 Arnaud Bertrand: This is actually pathetically sad

      In order to justify the annexation of Greenland, JD Vance now says Denmark is “not a good ally”, even though you couldn’t possibly find a most committed U.S. vassal state in the entire EU.

      Look:
      – they’re a founding member of NATO
      – they’ve participated in nearly every major U.S.-led military operation whenever the U.S. asked, even the most controversial ones like Iraq
      – Denmark was revealed to be the base for the NSA’s spying on European leaders (link).
      – Denmark always buys American military equipment over European alternatives
      – They’ve agreed to host a major U.S. military base – in Greenland! (Thule Air Base)

      What more could the U.S. possibly want to consider Denmark a “good ally”?

      Apparently the answer is “let us annex 98% of your territory”…

      Fantastic demonstration that nations that willingly become vassals aren’t rewarded with gratitude or security—they merely signal weakness that invites further aggression.
      🔻 WS: I continue to believe the US annexation of Canada and Greenland is a serious thing. It’s not just posturing.
      🔻 fcuk: On what grounds would it be moral?
      [LOL. Morality and USA?  !!!]
      🔻 WS: Moral? You think morality is a consideration at this stage of the empire’s decline? Not hardly.
      🔻 fcuk: I’m trying to get ahead of the game on what to expect to hear from them justifying it. I just can’t come up with anything that makes sense.
      [Michael Ledeen: “Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business.” And the deviant Orange Wrecking Crew is a business-first crew, no? Eager to compensate for lost mojo in the Four Corners. But they’re so brittle in the conventional yellow tooth, some quick “victories” are needed among the inner provinces, which will do, thank you very much]
      🔻 Eomar – Diligent News: I don’t think that Canada is, Greenland maybe… I think/thought this was a preparation for withdrawing from global hegemony. Now a lot of signals are saying that we will go ‘down with the ship’ —the ship being the empire 🙂 |link|
      🔻 Marked safe from Western Propaganda: Between Marco Rubio’s interview with Meghan Kelly and Vances munich speech they signalled an acceptance of a new world order with a several regional powers. It was around the same time they started talking about Greenland and Panama and Canada and Mexico etc. many experts saw it as a signal they were focuing on expansion in the Western Hemisphere to make up for the loss of empire.

      But they have since doubled down in West Asia so Greenland may be off hook for now but I can’t say the same for Mexico and Canada.
      🔻 The Rhetoric of Power: He won’t invade(at least Canada). He’ll squeeze cut routes, spike costs, bleed wallets. He’ll make life choke quietly.

      Then he’ll speak past the government–straight to the people.

      Just engineered discomfort… until “annexation” doesn’t sound insane. I broke down his rhetorical escalation in a thread(If you are interested). |THREAD|

      💠@Hamas/Tsahal:
      During her visit to Jerusalem, Ms. Kallas called on Israel to demonstrate “proportionality” in its attacks on Gaza.

      “The fundamental steps are to restore the ceasefire, ensure the release of all hostages, and resume the delivery of humanitarian aid with the aim of achieving a permanent ceasefire,” she added.

      As for the attacks in Syria, she considered them “unnecessary” because [the Syrians] “are not attacking Israel.”
      ⭕ Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said no decision had yet been made regarding the imposition of a military government in Gaza.

      Speaking at a conference with EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, he insisted that Israel was acting in accordance with “international law” in the region.

      Mr. Sa’ar also linked the recent attack in the north of the country to the “continued incitement” of the Palestinian Authority.

      He said the current conflict was not just Israel’s, but the “free world’s” conflict against forces such as Iran, the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah, which he accused of attacking “the values ​​and way of life of Western civilization.”
      While Kallas called on the Israeli minister to show “proportionality,” the Hamas-controlled health ministry said 61 Palestinians were killed and 134 injured in the Gaza Strip in the past 24 hours.

      Thank you for posting those comments from the other site, AHH. And what powerful comments from Sony Thang, who has intimate knowledge of American “values”.

      And by the way, Amarynth, I used to think you were a bit harsh with Scott, not anymore. This peculiar American habit of regretting past genocides and atrocities after the fact, and then moving on pretending like everything is cool now, is also what others like Tucker do. Tucker now regrets what happened in Iraq, and I am sure he will regret Gaza after the genocide is complete.

      Bold claim: Alex Krainer has just given the very best interview I’ve ever heard from him. He’s been researching Christian evangelicalism a bit, and Eschatology, just to study up on the fringe – a very large component of Israeli and US policy thought.

      He also describes how population attitudes are generated, and why – something I’ve been pondering a lot lately – how easy, indeed, it seems to be to sway a large group of people into believing a certain thing. Krainer makes this clear, and cites history, and offers a huge clue with the story of the red ants and the black ants in the glass jar – coexisting harmoniously until the jar is violently shaken. And then the killing starts, along color lines of course.

      Krainer gives his usual reasoned analysis of things, updated to the current moment, but also adds this extra material, the back-fill and discovery he’s playing with right now.

      He’s speaking, for the first time, with someone new to me also, a gold bug but asking good questions –  if you like Krainer, or the topics mentioned above, I highly recommend this one:

        Mr. P…please, help me out?

        it seems that yemen refrained from sinking an aircraft carrier b/c forcing them to retreat,  listing badly, licking their wounds to contemplate their fate on the far shore, worked w/o the grotesque spectacle of a thousand sailors buried in the seabed.

        now, regrettably/predictably, empire has decided to send in B52′.

        Mr.P, i do not know the capabilities of ansar allah’s hypersonic missiles, but it seems they ought to be able to take out a middle aged pregnant fighter jet carrying the mother of all bombs?    it’s possible a couple of drones could inflict damage, certainly enough to encourage the flight crew to turn around…so has the time come to stick in the fork?—or is it still not quite time?

        i’ve struggled with iran’s reluctance to follow north korea’s path…& for the sake of palestine & ansar allah, i hope, a friend may share with them an oreshnik or 2.

          The calculus of ansar allah’s tactical and strategic actions is as mysterious to me as to you. Generally a damaged ship is more effective than a sunken ship, I think. The damaged ship has survivors with presumably poor morale, and the ship bears witness to all who see her, and the ship repairs are expensive and tie up resources. Nobody shouts “Remember the Maine” or “Pearl Harbor” – instead that say geewhiz, that cuddabenme

          Much the same is generally true of wounding an enemy soldier rather than killing him, or so I was taught many years ago. This is why, I was taught by a US Army instructor, that the M-16 was an illegal weapon, while the M-1 was legal. The M-16 bullet makes a much more serious wound. At that time the M-16 was experimental and the standard infantry weapon was the M-1.

          hypersonic rockets seem to be offensive in nature, not designed for intercepting jet airplanes. I’d bet the fellas are setting up a lot of decoys for the bombs.

          My opinion, which others have spoken, including Galloway very recently, is that Iran has or shortly will have all the bits necessary to assemble a nuclear bomb. I think Galloway said “a couple of days”! Having the parts, like having all the parts to a pistol, is not quite the same as having the thing loaded and pointed at a target. Strategy is largely dependent upon options, having the parts ready to assemble is an option.  I’d bet that if or when they are attacked – people say within a few weeks – then immediately after that Iran will assemble the parts and make sure everybody knows….probably with a test. Just my opinion…they say the Persians invented chess, iirc. 😉 anyway their prospects must focus their minds, and being attacked will focus resolve, eliminate factionalism. My opinion is that all war derives from domestic political considerations. That’s a big tent, it works for tyrants and for socialist and for communist states too, and of course includes economic aspects.

            dear Mr.P, thank you for your gentle guidance.   i am in well over my head & shall sincerely try not to try your patience:

            1)  ansar allah, lacking systems like russia’s s400 or s5oo, has been left to rely upon deception, which undoubtedly they have perfected, yet here a string of questions arise; why would the axis leave a priceless ally to fend for itself?   hasn’t empire suppling 404 with starlink access demolished all such considerations?   supplying ansar allah with systems to detect & deter seems to follow precedent perfectly?

            2)  perhaps the time has come for america to appreciate that yemen is not alone, that it is in truth america which is isolated, without allies save a surfeit of subjects…its sole co-conspirator is the zionist protectorate which it serves & has never been more than a charge empire inseminated within it.

            3)  ansar allah’s possession of hypersonic missiles has been assumed ingenious or miraculous, one which highlights the potency of the provider, yet, true or not, the assumption of gift delivers a double edge; it follows: if ansar allah also possessed the ability to detect, identify, deter & block incoming guidance systems, that fact would telegraph explicitly that america has nothing—& whether america wants to broadcast its impotency or not is entirely america’s decision; just as iran remained fairly quiet, so may ansar allah.   thereby allowing america’s FAVs & B52 to drift quietly back to sea or base.  sans bravado.

            pepe, @ the end of his session with nima, said that nobody knows exactly what the strategic agreements between iran & china or iran & russia really cover.  perhaps it’s time the axis let empire & its deputies know exactly what the deal means—which ansar allah’s possession of the ability to detect, identify, deter & block guidance systems could be a show stopper & checkmate.

      ⭕ ⁉️ Chat Room Leak, or Deliberate Misdirection?

      I’ve just read some of the details of the “chat room leak” of a discussion between Trump admin principals regarding strikes in Yemen.

      The chat participants want to frame US operations in Yemen as primarily serving European interests, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasizing that point in a complaining tone.

      In my view, this is deliberate misdirection. It is US interests that are being served here.

      As I have noted several times in recent weeks and months, in order for the US to make war against Iran, the passage from the Red Sea to Kuwait must be secured for US seaborne logistics. THAT is the true objective of these air strikes against Yemen: to disarm Ansarullah so US sealift ships can safely pass through the Bab el-Mandeb.

      And yet, despite several days of relentless bombing, CSG-8 (USS Trembling Puppy) is still hiding out in the northern reaches of the Red Sea, well out-of-range of Yemeni missiles. So apparently they have yet to degrade Yemeni capabilities to the point where they dare to risk a transit of the southern Red Sea and the Gate of Lamentation.

      (For elaboration on this point, see my post linked in the reply below.)
      📜 Geography
      🔻 Ephemeral: I think it was Col. Davis who said in an interview that Pentagon’s plan is to bomb Yemen for over a month. So that would allow US to clear for a month and make that deadline of May 5th
      🔻 WS: If the US wants to continue to attrit its precision munitions stores via strikes on Yemen, the Iranians will gladly cater their meals.

      And at the end of it all, US seaborne logistics will still be threatened in the southern Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
      🔻 Tabby: Will what happens if US drops multiple small nukes, what sort of damage will it cause in human terms & how will it change the battlefield
      🔻 WS: I am very dubious it would meaningfully change the battlefield, neither in Yemen nor Iran.

      But I’m certain it would meaningfully — and permanently — change the world.

      And not for the better.
      [this is what both Iran and Yemen now prepare for. What is being misinterpreted as hesitation or cowardice, or lack of initiative or resolve. Furious preparation underway..

      🔻 Yodysseus: When you say “US interests that are being served”, do you mean “Netanyahu interests”? How does the US making war against Iran serve US interests?
      🔻 WS: The rationale is that cutting the Chinese off from Iranian oil (and other Persian Gulf energy supplies) is a necessary prelude to weaken China in advance of an inevitable war in the western Pacific.

      [links his older:
      “I think I understand the ‘accidental’ inclusion of a journalist in signal chats…

      1. It is implying that Europe is the beneficiary of us strikes in Yemen .

      2. It is implying they didn’t know israel would ‘act first’

      Yemen didn’t block ALL traffic, they said they would target Israeli traffic. So the 40% European traffic comment is disingenuous. Yemen only did this AFTER israel broke the ceasefire by resuming blockade etc.

      I think the ‘leak’ was intentional to distract/deflect from US complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.”]
      🔻 Alexander Guy: This has nothing to do with European or American interests. It’s Israel
      🔻 Kenan Beg: Thanks Will. Very rational analysis. I too think this bombing Yemen chat group seems far fetched, but with heavy bombers redeploying to Diego Garcia today, there is game in play and the ultimate destination is Iran, as Netanyahu has wanted for years. But today’s Iran is not alone
      🔻 John: but… bombing Iran is ultimately nothing to do with promoting the interests of the American people. This is purely a Jewish/zionist objective… once again proving that the US government is controlled by a foreign power- messianic talmudism.
      🔻 Nathan J Robinson: what’s funny to me about this story is that The Atlantic is so obviously a core part of the pro-war propaganda apparatus that someone thought of adding the editor in chief to a Pentagon group chat. He thinks this makes Trump admin look bad, I think it makes Atlantic look bad too.
      🔻 Arnaud Bertrand: Another likely possibility that I see almost no-one discussing, given the fact that The Atlantic and Jeffrey Goldberg specifically are indeed a core part of the pro-war propaganda apparatus, is that this is actually a pro-war propaganda psyop.

      When something is a bit too incredible to be real, the first logical thing you ought to ask yourself is whether it’s real…

      And when you look at the conversation, it’s a bit too “on message” and too caricatural to pass the sniff test: the conversation is basically “we bomb the Houthis to help restore freedom of navigation out of the goodness of our hearts; we bail Europeans again, these free-loaders owe us big time”, topped with three emojis (a fist, an American flag, and fire) to pat themselves on the back when they’ve bombed Muslims in the Middle-East yet again.

      I mean, seriously?

      So either they really are this cartoonishly simplistic, with just as little sophistication in their private deliberations as they do in public (with the added bonus of the incompetence at play in handling military information), in which case it’s legitimately scary, or this is staged propaganda designed to shape the narrative around Yemen strikes.

      One thing is certain though, the fact that almost no Western media that I could identify asks this obvious question, and instead automatically and uncritically assumes this is real shows that for one the Western media ecosystem is in fact as cartoonishly simplistic and incompetent as we think they are.

      (This is obviously not meant to be a critique of @NathanJRobinson and @curaffairs who are actually one of the rare good ones, I do this as an RT of him because he was one of the only ones to raise the fact that The Atlantic is a core part of the pro-war propaganda apparatus).
      ⭕ 🤣 Three New Ukrainian Army Corps?

      For those unfamiliar with army terms, an “Army Corps” is a collection of ~10 brigades. Three Army Corps would total ~150,000 combat troops.

      There is no possible way Ukraine can equip, train, field, and sustain such a force anymore.

      🔻 MilitaryLand.net: “The formation of three new Army Corps within the Ukrainian Ground Forces is underway. We’re the first to report and reveal their high-definition insignias, redrawn by our contributor!” |link|]

      🧵 How to Lose A Carrier Strike Group in An Afternoon
      🔻 Carborundum Crew: Orthogonal question.

      Assume there is a war between China and the US during which CSGs on each side loses a carrier and other vessels.

      Now, that is much less of a problem today for the US than it it is for China.

      Of course, China has lots more other vessels, but
      🔻 WS: Aircraft carriers are no longer useful for fighting other aircraft carriers. They are only useful for projecting power against countries that lack the capacity to shoot back at them. I don’t believe China would sortie its carriers against a US carrier flotilla.
      🔻 Carborundum Crew: Hmmm, that is something to think about.

      Does that change the equation on when will the US roll the dice? I am sure many in the command level in the US agree with Dylan Thomas: Do not go gentle into that good night!
      🔻 WS: As I have asserted on several occasions, I am thoroughly convinced it is long-since too late for the US to make war against China in its local seas. It would be madness. The 7th fleet would be eviscerated. The US Navy would be driven beyond the second island chain for good.
      🔻 Sellus Gravius 🪵🪓🦅: As soon as we started losing vessels our economy would completely crash and we would have riots across the country. The world would ditch the dollar en masse, they would completely divest from us and BRICS+ would cut us off from vital resources.

      We would destroy ourselves.
      🔻 WS: They would feast at a banquet of consequences.
      🔻 Sellus Gravius 🪵🪓🦅: People don’t understand how quickly everything would go to shit economically for us. The entire world would seize the opportunity to break our fuckin knees and send the giant toppling down.

      I would say wearing down, and likely knocking a few holes in four aircraft carriers, is “a serious effort.”

      ⭕ #sputnikviral | 🌍 “Wolf in sheep’s clothing”: ex-AU ambassador to the US blasts USAID’s disguised destabilization of governments

      “The American taxpayer needs to know: the billions of dollars that are being given to USAID – a fraction is making it to the people,” former African Union ambassador to the US Arikana Chihombori-Quao told Al Jazeera in a recent interview that went viral on X.

      According to her, USAID was “using that open access sounding humanitarian to constantly destabilize governments.”

      She stressed that the majority of African leaders and leaders in the developing world “are celebrating the exit of USAID.”

      “If you think about it, their sole purpose, for example, is filling in the gaps in healthcare and education. Where is the change? Show me one country that USAID was in and education improved. Show me what country where USAID was in and healthcare improved?” Chihombori-Quao wondered. |media|
      ⭕ 🌍⛓️ Western neocolonial practices are still harming humanity, Russia’s foreign intelligence chief says

      Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Sergey Naryshkin recalled the Black Sea grain initiative, terminated in 2023, which was supposed to provide African nations with grain shipments from Ukraine, yet the continent received only 3% of that.

      🇫🇷🇳🇪 Another example is France, which purchased uranium from Niger for 60 years at an unfairly low price of 80 cents per kilogram, the Russian official pointed out at a roundtable on the history of the struggle against colonialism.

      “But once the French military contingent was withdrawn from that country last year, the price of uranium rose to a market price more than 200 times higher by the new government,” he emphasized.

      💰 It would be fair to seek compensation for the damage done to all of humanity by the Western European colonial empires, Naryshkin said, adding that it is “necessary to create strong legal barriers to any new attempts to revive the system of colonialism.”

      ⭕ ❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇾🇪 BREAKING: Last night, 3 B-2 ‘Spirit’ Stealth Bombers landed at Diego Garcia Airbase in the Indian Ocean, with 4 more B-2s expected to land today, marking an unprecedented number of 7 B-2s ready for missions in the Middle East

      The B-2 ‘Spirit’ is an American long range heavy strategic bomber, featuring low observable stealth technology that enables it to penentrate areas with a high density of air defenses and radars without being detected easily. It is the only US aircraft in service that can carry large air-to-surface standoff weapons in stealth configuration.

      Notably, the B-2 was used in the US bombing campaigns on Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq, and Afghanistan, with its most recent operational use in October 2024, when the Biden administration bombed underground facilities belonging to the Houthis in Yemen. Never before have this many B-2s been gathered in one single forward operating base.
      [they’re as stealthy as Orange’s rear-end whilst swinging a golf club (sorry for mental image!). They’ll bomb more useless rocks and deserts in Yemen… AND? Dare they go full zionazi and aim for the heart of civilian cities??]

      ⭕ 🇵🇸 BEWARE: There are several protests happening against Hamas in the Gaza Strip currently, which is understandable due to the dire condition of the Palestinian people, and the unprecedented humanitarian situation.

      However, the size and importance of these protests is being massively exaggerated, mostly by pro-Israeli media outlets, and it is being mindlessly copied, even by some neutral or pro-Resistance outlets.

      Beware of unintentionally spreading the enemy narrative, and covering these protests only serves the interests of Israel and the United States, who seek to delegitimize the authorities in the Gaza Strip to annex it.

      The Veil thins. Much of the gyration and frenzy of the trumpet of the Moshiach, both in word and deed of mass killing humanity, is their acute awareness that the time of devils draws to a close.
