Quote Lavrov:  “If we analyse practical steps taken by US President Donald Trump and his team with regard to Russia during the Trump administration’s second tenure in the White House, then we can see that we are moving in the wrong direction.”  Mr Lavrov is addressing many organizations at this stage.  His message consistently is that the collective west is hindering development, and simple life, on our planet now.   The Spirit of Alaska is now the Goast of Alaska.

Analysts are increasingly qualifying the situation in respect to Iran as a No Peace, No War strategy, only with an armada parked to apply continuous pressure, similar to LAC.   Netanyahu is on his way to whisper sweet war messages in Trump’s ears and he will be in the US for a day with meetings scheduled for tomorrow.

Thus far, and see Mr Lavrov’s comments on the Board of Peace and the region, Israel has done nothing to support a peace, and everything to continue killing Palestinians, bombing regional countries, starving Gazans and killing them daily, continuing ethnic cleansing, and forced displacement.  Then they spend big money to convince you and me that they did nothing of the kind, and if they did, they were just protecting themselves ..  remember the holocaust – they are the perpetual victims and if you and I see any of their atrocities, we are anti-semites.

The featured image is from a channel that reports every atrocity in Gaza and in the West Bank and occupied territories.  Here you can see the ferocity with which the Palestinians are attacked: An airstrike, targeting a bicycle.

As a third Ramadan approaches, Gaza prepares for the holy month under the weight of the ongoing Israeli genocide.

More than one million displaced Palestinians are living among rubble and in tents, while over 71,000 have been killed, thousands remain missing, and many families are unable to identify their loved ones. Religious life has been heavily targeted, with most mosques damaged or destroyed.

Despite the destruction and widening regional tensions driven by Israel’s war, Palestinians continue to prepare for fasting and worship amid loss and displacement.

The governmental media office in the Gaza Strip reports 1,620 violations by the Israeli occupation since the ceasefire agreement four months ago, resulting in 573 martyrs and 1,553 wounded.

The deal with Japan:  We know that there are attempts to enlarge NATO and activate in the East.  It is there that we find the core reason for Japan’s belligerence.  While Europe is howling for war against Russia, Japan is being drawn into the preparations.

Japan to sign up for NATO’s Ukraine arms pipeline

Doubling down on its US-pushed militarization drive, Japan is moving closer to NATO by signing on to the alliance’s Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU) program, which facilitates the flow of military equipment to Ukraine, according to NHK.

Senior Chinese official calls for ‘resolutely’ cracking down on ‘Taiwan independence’ separatists

A senior Chinese official has called for “resolutely” cracking down on “Taiwan independence” separatist forces and opposing interference by external forces this year to safeguard peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.  The ruling communist party’s fourth-ranked leader Wang Huning made the remarks at the 2026 work conference on Taiwan affairs held in Beijing on Monday and Tuesday.  In his address to the annual meeting, Wang also urged support for “patriotic and unified forces” in Taiwan and said the government will facilitate and enhance people-to-people and grassroots exchanges across the Taiwan strait.

FM Lavrov’s Q&A with TV BRICS international media is really very important. This is now his second speech after the results of the initial hope expressed at the Alaska Summit, and the drone attack on what is called ‘President Putin’s residence’.  Lavrov does not beat the table or throw shoes. His statements are clear but highly nuanced. We are beginning to glimpse what the Russian path forward will be. It is also clear what their path forward in respect to the US will be.  Pepe Escobar’s comment is:  “LAVROV IS ESSENTIALLY SAYING THAT THE SPIRIT OF ANCHORAGE IS DEAD.  This is VERY serious.”

US sanctions are ‘Bidenism, pure and simple’, yet Trump administration, which rejects it, has calmly extended the laws keeping them in force — Lavrov points out the contradiction in an interview with TV BRICS for Diplomatic Worker’s Day

…

Without giving up contacts with them, to the extent that they are willing to engage on a mutually beneficial basis, we are interested, together with our BRICS partners, in creating an architecture that will not be subject to the illegal actions of one or another player from the Western flank.

In terms of the SMO, since the end of the so-called ‘energy truce’, there were major attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure. Ukraine is dark in terms of power generation, gas pressure is dropping and operational-tactical aviation, attack drones, missile troops and artillery are now attacking transport infrastructure while they finally kill any hope of keeping the lights on and the country functioning in terms of power generation. It is my opinion that they now are in the process of demolishing the whole of Ukraine.

The previous night for example areas in and around Odessa went into flames. Last evening transformer substations were taken out in Kiev. It is getting to a stage where Ukraine’s power generation cannot be repaired but must be rebuilt.

Note, this is not the front line where the SMO is proceeding apace and conditions on the ground are beginning to rule out any agreement of peace except a full and total surrender.

Last evening: Operational-Tactical Aviation, attack drones, missile troops and artillery of the Russian Groups of Forces have inflicted damage on the infrastructure of a military airfield, fuel and power complex and transport infrastructure used in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as temporary deployment areas of Ukrainian armed formations and foreign mercenaries in 142 areas.

In addition:

Western NGOs are pooling resources to destabilize and overthrow the constitutional order in Belarus — Russia’s SVR.  ‘The West hopes to weaken the Minsk-Moscow alliance within the Union State and make it harder for Russia to achieve the goals of the Special Military Operation’

Peskov made comments on Cuba this morning:  ‘The situation is truly CRITICAL in Cuba’ — Kremlin spox Peskov.  The Chokehold imposed by the US is causing many difficulties for the country’  ‘We are maintaining intensive contact with our Cuban friends’.

Two vessels packed with emergency aid left from Mexico to Cuba in the last evening.  Mexico is doing this under their regulations and UN human rights law.  If this continues, Cuba will become Latin America’s Gaza.  I trust the US will refrain from sending aid vessels into the deep blue, just to prove they can.

From Brian Berletic:

Thailand Dodges Bullet as US-backed Opposition Loses in Recent Elections

▪️US-backed opposition parties headed by 2 corrupt billionaires unexpectantly failed in yesterday’s elections and conceded defeat;

▪️These parties openly advocate pivoting away from China which is Thailand’s largest trade partner, investor, defense partner, infrastructure partner, and source of tourism;

▪️Washington’s ultimate goal is to turn Thailand into either another proxy like the Philippines vs. China or at a minimum destabilize it sufficiently as it has to neighboring Myanmar;

▪️Despite losing elections, the US and its proxies will continue rotting Thailand socially and politically from the inside out, including through media and education, promoting division and terrorism within its borders and conflict with neighbors like Cambodia who has recently pivoted hard toward the US;

It is so far a quiet news day with nothing serious to report.  Take it easy.  Interesting is that BRICS countries’ gold holdings are slowly exceeding holdings of US treasuries.   This is deep dedollarization.

BRICS gold to soon overtake US Treasury holdings

The combined US Treasury holdings of China, India, and Brazil are being rapidly unwound, while their gold vaults swell. At the current velocity, the total value of their gold reserves could surpass their Treasury holdings within the next 3 years.

💸 From Oct 2024 to Oct 2025, these three BRICS nations sold $183.2 billion in US Treasuries.

They simultaneously added hundreds of tonnes to their gold reserves.

📊 The current annual pace: ~$180B in Treasury sell-offs & 250+ tonnes of gold purchases.

Based on this trajectory, the crossover in value is projected for late 2027 or early 2028. If gold prices surge as some forecasts predict (e.g., $5,800/oz by late 2026), this timeline could accelerate significantly.

📊 By the numbers:

🇨🇳China: ~$775B in Treasuries | 2,298 tonnes of gold (~$150B value)

🇮🇳India: $190B in Treasuries | 880 tonnes of gold (~$57B value)

🇧🇷Brazil: $180B in Treasuries | 172 tonnes of gold (~$11B value)

Combined: ~$1.15T in Treasuries vs. ~$218B in gold value.
The ~$400B gap is closing from both sides at once.

📈 Gold accumulation in overdrive

Brazil added 43 tonnes in just 3 months.

India’s reserves are up 58% since 2015 (now 880 tonnes).

China continues its steady, relentless accumulation.

♟ The strategic pivot is driven by:

◾️De-dollarisation: Reducing exposure to USD-denominated assets (https://t.me/geo_gaganauts/14516).

◾️Geopolitical hedging: Concerns over dollar “weaponization” post-2022 Russian asset seizures.

◾️Hard money era: A growing institutional belief in tangible reserve assets.

Include all original BRICS nations (adding Russia & South Africa), and the bloc holds ~5,811 tonnes of gold (worth $750-800B)—roughly 20-21% of all central bank gold globally, a share that’s growing.

The sounds and actions of desperation are everywhere.  It is not only desperation from countries, it is also desperation expressed by people.  Be wary of efforts focused on overthrow and all out revolution.  Revolutions are strange things and frequently they format themselves in a manner where situations get worse.  Yes it can and most probably will get worse.  For your own protection, stay out of the desperation and the emotional fearmongering.

The two most helpful quotes at least for me in the last week:

There is no is no information overload from the real players – take time and get to what is real, not what is manufactured.  One never knows, but the threats to Iran right now may not have the fear component that is sent into our airwaves.  There may not the war making ability that is advertised. Time will tell.

Resistance is a course of action – It is not wham bam thank you mam in our current world. It is indeed life and may I borrow a biblical phrase:  life more abundantly if we can rid ourselves of the Epstein States of America.

The President of Russia and China spoke to one another, just a few days ago, and agreed that it is their responsibility to keep stability in the world.  In conjunction with desperation and emotional overreaction, many are in despair.  See Multipolarity should have already given us something more abundantly, is the sense.  No, neither Russia nor China will give you something.  What are you?  More important than the rest?  Let me say it clearly – we have a fight on our hands.  This is what is given to you and to me – an opportunity for participation.  Take time to despair, but come back, ready to fight.  I need another writer – life is busy.  I know what needs to be written and probably have the research.  Come and fight with us!

The stadium erupted in boos as the Israeli team entered during the opening ceremony of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy.

Feb 6

Mid sized and smaller nations across the world are in deep despair. Perhaps the real war today is in recruitment of nations between single- polarity and multi-polarity. I watch the string of visitors to China and the many visits to Russia, in contrast to the grabbing style of the US administration (Greenland, Panama, Canada .. etc)., and it looks to me as a massive romance of nations and countries. A Swiss delegation arrived in Moscow, ringing cowbells. From Riyadh – they are making passports and a visa system for camels. This has been praised as paying attention to the Kingdom’s heritage.

Brazil’s Lula draws a red line on Middle East peace talks: No Palestinians at the table? Then count us out. The Brazilian president told Trump that any “Peace Council” without Palestinian representation cannot be legitimate and that Gaza must be the priority—not resort developments or commercial projects.

🇧🇷 Lula insists the focus must be on rebuilding homes, hospitals, and bakeries for Palestinians, not expanding the council’s reach to other conflicts. This is the Global South demanding real solutions, not performative diplomacy.

More sanctions.  Trump officially slaps 25% tariffs on countries trading with Iran.   The order targets all imports from Iran’s trading partners, including China, India, Turkey, UAE, Brazil, and Russia.

The White House has not clarified what qualifies as “doing business” with Iran or how the policy will be enforced.

US slaps sanctions on Iran hours after nuclear talks

🔹🔹🔹🔹

The Iran-US nuclear negotiations has reportedly concluded for now. The Iranian delegation returns to their place of residence.

“It was a good start”

Iran FM Araghchi says the talks in Oman were a good start, but there is an atmosphere of distrust that needs to be overcome, adding that it was decided that talks should continue.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

Iranian, US delegations continue nuclear talks at 13:30 local time in Muscat. Initial reports state that Iran is standing their ground against the cockamamie demands from the US, which are in truth Israeli demands. Again, it is the old demand to disarm, similar to the demand to Hezbolla and to Hamas. The US virtual embassy in Iran sent notification to any Americans to leave, as if they are ready to attack. These types of scaremongering pressure tactics are not unknown in high stakes negotiations.

The talent is to distinguish between what is real and what is smoke. Of course, this one, was very real: ‘We created a DOLLAR SHORTAGE — banks collapsed, the currency crashed inflation exploded, and the Iranian people went OUT on the street’ – — Scott Bessent on the initial pressure campaign against Iran.

Professor Marandi says three things will not be negotiated away during talks with Washington:

– Iran’s right to a peaceful nuclear program
– Iran’s ability to have allies across the region
– Iran’s defense capabilities, specifically its missile program.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

‘The work continues’ — Kremlin spox Peskov sums up second round of peace talks in Abu Dhabi. ‘The work is constructive and at the same time very complicated’

Here is another example of pressure tactics in high stakes negotiations. Bessent says that further sanctions against Russia will depend on how the peace talks go.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

In Moscow, an attempt was made on the life of the first deputy head of the GRU, Lieutenant General of the Ministry of Defense, Vladimir Alekseev, and he was hospitalized and is in a critical condition. What is interesting though is that he is the deputy of Igor Kostyukov, who heads the Russian negotiating team in Abu Dhabi. Pressure piled on.

In China, the world’s first microwave weapon capable of disrupting the operation of satellites in low Earth orbit, including Starlink, has been created, reports the South China Morning Post.

It is stated that the ground-based compact system called TPG1000Cs is capable of generating pulses of 20 GW of power for a minute. It can be installed on trucks, military ships, airplanes, and satellites. Until now, similar known systems could operate continuously for no more than three seconds and were much more bulky. China is currently the leader in microwave weapon systems. They have several HPM’s in service that can fry the electronics of drones at quite a distance. The US has also trying to field HPM’s, with the Epirus Leonidas being the first American version.

Medvedev on why Greenland is just the beginning:

While serious geopolitical discourse is raging in the United States around “Epstein’s Island,” the European Union remains an “island of calm” — a zone of deep intellectual disability (idiocy). The EU leadership has enacted regulations banning the import of Russian liquefied natural gas under long-term contracts starting January 1, 2027, and pipeline gas starting November 1, 2027.

According to various estimates, under this scenario the EU will lose about 17% of its current gas imports. This is an idiotic decision, caused by a chronic collective brain failure afflicting the European establishment. How else can one explain the fact that member states are required to prepare national gas supply diversification plans only by March 1? It is obvious that, as of now, no one really knows where Europe will make up for the fuel shortage. And whether a workable solution will even appear remains a mystery.

In essence, the recipe for the systemic crisis into which the EU has driven itself is ready: less and less Russian gas, and ever higher prices. This has led to stagnation in the leading economies of the Old World. In its anti-Russian fit of oligophrenic frenzy, the EU does not even realize the monstrous trap it has set for itself. The role of “savior” and main energy supplier will inevitably be taken by the very Washington it currently despises. But the price for expanding its “assistance” will be far higher than money alone.

Europe, having fallen into critical dependence on American gas, will do whatever it is told. And this is no longer about Trump, whom today’s idiots dislike so much. The payment will come in the form of the remaining sovereignty of EU member states. And Greenland is only the beginning.

The most amazing through all these years of the SMO, is that Russia is still not targeting civilians. Have we ever seen anything like this before. This is from the Russian MoD, and is only the major strikes and not the front line.

❗️From 31 January to 6 February, in response to Ukrainian terrorist attacks launched on civilian facilities in Russia, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation delivered one massed and five group strikes, which hit Ukrainian defence industry enterprises, power and transport infrastructure objects used by the AFU, ammunition depots, production sites and storages of attack unmanned aerial vehicles as well as temporary deployment areas of Ukrainian armed formations and foreign mercenaries.

🚩 Over the past week, as a result of resolute offensive actions, units of the Sever Group of Forces liberated Zelenoye (Kharkov region) and, on 5 February, took Popovka (Sumy region) under control.

Director of Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza:
We have received 66 boxes from the occupation containing skulls of martyrs, in addition to the bodies of women whose origin we do not know, as the occupation kidnapped them.
The occupation handed over bodies with severed limbs and others whose bellies were opened and then sewn back together.
There is theft of organs from martyrs detained by the occupation in the Gaza Strip.
The occupation knows the identities of the martyrs’ bodies it has returned, but it refuses to disclose them.
We are unable to identify the bodies of the martyrs handed over by the occupation due to the extent of their mutilation.
