-We ended last week on a note where the so-called peace agreement with Iran is spiked by the US after Bibi Netanyahu exercised what I and others call ‘Bibi’s veto’. What is new?

-We are still in a phase of No War/No Peace. At the same time Lebanon is being heavily bombed, Hezbollah fighters are resisting like heroes and temporary tent shelters in Gaza are regularly bombed. There is no peace despite peace agreements. The so-called Board of Peace is fast falling apart and only two countries paid what they pledged. It is clear: The Board of Peace is there for the money – that other countries must pay in a bizarre ‘burden sharing’. The Peace Processes that the US is involved in are attempts at producing revenue. It is just the same as that of Gaza and Hezbollah. Much is agreed to, and then the salami slicing starts and the agreement becomes a dead letter. The US does not want peace. They want to own the oil. The rest is performance spiced with murder.

–Last Iranian Commentary – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei:

Discussing the nuclear file is not on the table at this stage of the talks.

A clause regarding the cessation of aggression against Lebanon is included in the agreement.

Recent shifts in negotiations are the result of mediation efforts by Pakistan and other countries.

No one can confirm the imminent signing of an agreement with the United States because American policy is subject to change.

At this stage of the negotiations, Iran’s focus remains on stopping aggression against the country.

The United States is not concerned with the security and stability of the region’s countries, but rather prioritises the interests of the Zionist entity.

The Strait of Hormuz must remain secure, and its management belongs to the littoral states.

Iran remains in contact with the littoral states of the Strait of Hormuz to ensure security and protect their interests.

In the LAC broadly, resistance is brewing and beginning to show itself. Venezuela (which so many commentators now write off without having a clue what is going on there), is out in the streets, doing this:

-Venezuela and the Perils of Ceding Sovereignty

VA editor Ricardo Vaz analyzes the political and economic transformations taking place in Venezuela following renewed ties with Washington and the rollback of key pillars of the Bolivarian Process. US control over Venezuelan oil revenues, pro-business reforms, and mounting external debt pressures could deepen dependency and weaken national sovereignty in the long term. “Ultimately, any long-term plan for sovereign development needs to start from the fact that US imperialism… is ‘not to be trusted even a little bit.’”

-Argentina is becoming an intel collection site for the Pentagon with these goodies handed out:

• Textron B-360ER aircraft (ISR platforms: Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance)
• Drones configured to Pentagon standards
• Technology integrated with U.S. Southern Command systems

Argentina is not acquiring patrol aircraft for sovereign control, it’s becoming an intel collection site for the Pentagon. While Milei accepts U.S. military “aid,” he’s imposing a $46 billion budget cut on Argentina’s Armed Forces and leaving bases without electricity, gas, or food for troops. His model is to starve the national military, create dependency, accept U.S. tutelage.

Theft continues. The South Atlantic, including waters near the Malvinas (Falklands), is no longer defined as Argentine sovereign territory but as a “global commons” under U.S.-Argentine joint control. Argentina provides the personnel and bears the risk. The United States sets the strategic direction and controls the intelligence.

China uses AI practically for practical purposes.

China upgrades military kitchens to rule out the possibility of bad meals

While US sailors on Middle East-deployed warships reportedly complained of mystery meat and inadequate meals, China’s People’s Armed Police has built an AI system that tracks every food ingredient from delivery to plate, reports SCMP.

🌏 ‘Intelligent recognition scales’ identify food types with onboard cameras while recording weight, photos, and video footage

🌏 Every inspection, transaction, and delivery is uploaded instantly to a secure military cloud

🌏 Commanders located 500 km away can remotely audit purchases and replay inspections in real time

🌏 The system links 56 separate modules covering logistics, training, attendance, and personnel management into one ecosystem

An interesting tidbit from Periol in the Hearty Salon, Apocalypse Chronicles. “Teenagers have started calling AI art “boomer art” and consider it cringe, and YouTubers have stopped using AI-generated thumbnails because teenagers find them cringe and won’t click on them. I honestly couldn’t be happier.”
