⭕ The death toll from Israel’s ongoing war crimes and collective genocide in Gaza may reach 109,000—an overwhelming majority of them civilians. This staggering figure underscores what can only be described as a deliberate campaign of extermination, executed with impunity and shielded by international complicity and inaction.
[it was already considered multiples early in 2024 by statisticians in eminent scientific journals. And common sense dictates as well, given amount of ordinance poured onto such a tiny pen in such a short amount of time]
⭕ Russia has little reason to take Europe’s latest posturing seriously. With no spine to back their threats and no unified military backbone, European leaders have issued yet another hollow ultimatum to President Vladimir Putin: accept a ceasefire within 24 hours or face “massive” sanctions and expanded weapons transfers to Ukraine.

This theatrical move—coordinated by Britain, France, Germany, and Poland—was preceded by a joint phone call with U.S. President Donald Trump, during which Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed readiness for direct negotiations with Moscow. But behind the dramatic declarations lies a simple truth: neither Europe nor Ukraine is in any position to dictate terms.

Issuing ultimatums while lacking leverage only reinforces Moscow’s view that the West is flailing. Russia sees through the bluff, and without American firepower firmly behind the threats, European warnings ring empty.

Note after inviting the entire “arab league” and “islamic world” on his first term’s first visit to KSA, this time the enchilada is reduced to three concubines.. old vampire hag charms ain’t what they used to be…]
⭕ — NOTE: The presence of Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Syrian President Ahmad Al-Sharaa signals to me that Trump seeks to convince them, alongside Saudi Arabia, to join the Abraham Accords and recognize Israel, in exchange for the official U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state.

This begs the question: Is a U.S. recognition of Palestine worth it, if it means three more Arab countries normalizing with Israel? To me, the answer is clear: No.

The U.S. recognition of Palestine, even in case of the optimal scenario — a recognition of the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as the Palestinian capital — is not worth it.

Yes, if it was just a U.S. recognition of Palestine with no preconditions, then it would be a somewhat positive development. But if, in exchange, three more Arab nations recognize Israel — then that means the cause of one Palestinian state, from the River to the Sea, is practically dead. At least politically.

People always forget that it’s not just Gaza and the West Bank. The entirety of the land is Palestinian – including Haifa, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Beer Sheva, Ashkelon, and all the other fake Hebrew names that these Arab cities have been given by their Jewish occupiers. They’re all Palestinian. Never forget that. History won’t change.

In addition, we all know that Israel will never allow a Palestinian state to thrive. This ‘Palestine’ will only be ‘Palestine’ in name, but not in reality. Its borders will be controlled by Israel, it won’t have an army, it won’t have any way to defend or administer itself.

So what does a U.S. recognition of Palestine mean in reality?

It means that Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Syria will be allowed to normalize with Israel without feeling ‘shame’ — it means they’ll have something to tell their people, an ‘excuse’, a pretext to normalize with the Zionist regime.

The cause of Palestine is only achieved by ARMED RESISTANCE. No compromise.

Recognizing Israel in exchange for U.S. recognition of ‘half’ a Palestinian state is nothing short of a betrayal to the cause, and any Arab or Islamic country that agrees with this ‘trade-off’ is nothing short of a traitor.

☝️ I agree with IH. Pakistan will shortly cease to exist. The greatest harm of Indian Partition in 1947 was not Kashmir, but the creation of Pakistan. Just like Sykes-Picot by the demonic Anglo-French smashed Greater Syria into five unviable pieces that continue to torment the arabs and now the entire world, so the fracturing of the vast Indians.

Pakistan was established, just like Turkey, on an explicitly modern western template of the republican state and democracy, wholly alien to both, just as it is in Africa and much of humanity. Perhaps in all of human history, only the Chinese had true sustainable democracy, bottoms up, and even then in spurts, and without the republican claptrap. Each civilization has its natural template..

And if you really look deep within the lying West, you will see the ruling Anglo-Zionist Theocracy, the shadow deep state behind all the subterfuge. They are as tribal and religious and granite in their worldview, inspite of all claims to liberalism and democracy and other legerdemain. Others now consolidate in similar ways to save themselves from Legion – the AES confederation in West Africa, rising greater arabia around the poles of Yemen and Greater Syria, the Russian Mir, and so on. As Yemeni demonstrate every Friday, and in their Resistance over the last decade – only a united mass grouping of peoples have a chance against the unholy storms assaulting all.

Indeed, the imminent success of the AZE in dismembering Pakistan will birth, as we also see in Syria now, the true horror that will terminate their presence on the World-Island – the rise of Khorasan. The Pashtun peoples, about some 20M in NW Pakistan, and 20M in Afghan, will finally be rid of the Durand Line separation, and coalesce with Persia, as well as Iraq/Yemen to form the army that marches on the Holy Land to put to the sword to the last the satanic Beast creation of the fragmented old order.

⭕ I have said for well over a year now that there will be no deal to end the Ukraine war. The US “negotiations” with Russia have been a total farce from the off because all the imperialists actually want to do is to pause the fightingnand enable what’s left of Ukraine to be absorbed, de facto, into NATO. This is why Trump’s “peace” plans all fall flat, because they are just reheated versions of what his predecessor was already considering. The plan to acknowledge some reality in terms of Russian territorial acquisitions in return for a ceasefire was originally toyed with by Blinken. The plan is to wait five years until the US and Europeans have rebuilt their arms production capacity and built Ukraine back up to the point where more cannon fodder can be hurled at the Russians. This is the only plan that will ever be on offer from the imperialists. The defeat and destruction of Russia and China is too important to them and so is the need to avoid the perception of defeat. Any deal which does not preserve the Kiev regime will seen (rightly) as a defeat by the non-imperialist world and will only weaken imperialism further.

From the Russoan point of view now any deal which preserves the Kiev regime is impossible to concede to. This is because they have realised that if this regime persists it will only ever be a battering ram in the hands of the US, Brits and French imperialists.

And so the war will continue until the Russians grind the NATO forces in Ukraine down to the point where the regime can be destroyed. It will be the only way any Russian victory can be secured.

⭕ 🇺🇸🇾🇪 This incident is actually the second publicly confirmed instance of Houthi missiles coming within close range of an American aircraft carrier. First reported in the October 2024 issue of CTC Sentinel, a monthly publication of the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, article author Michael Knights wrote about how the Houthis achieved some “impressive feats of marksmanship” against ships with weapons.

“By some accounts, an ASBM [anti-ship ballistic missile] or other missile arrived at a very shallow trajectory, with minimal warning, without a chance for interception, and splashing down around 200 meters [656 feet] from” the Eisenhower.

📝 Fennec Radar: US carrier had to make evasive maneuvers to avoid fire from Houthi rebels. We are seriously underestimating how difficult it will be to fight a naval war.
🚨🇺🇸🇾🇪 NYT: Several American F-16s and an F-35 fighter jet were nearly struck by Houthi air defenses

In an explosive report, the New York Times has revealed President Trump ordered the end of the Anti-Houthi campaign as a result of their increasing capacity to inflict causalities on the U.S. as well as the unsustainable expenditure of munitions.

Among the many startling revelations of the article:

• General Michael Kurilla, commander of the the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), had been gunning for the Houthis since November 2023. According to NYT, he proposed an eight- to 10-month campaign in which Air Force and Navy warplanes would take out Houthi air defense systems before mountain a targeted assassination campaign. Over 18 months later, it’s safe to say Kurilla was gravely mistaken.
• In those first 30 days of the operation, the Houthis shot down seven American MQ-9 drones (around $30 million each), hampering Central Command’s ability to track and strike the militant group. Several American F-16s and an F-35 fighter jet were nearly struck by Houthi air defenses, making real the possibility of American casualties, multiple U.S. officials said.
• The cost of the operation was staggering. The Pentagon had deployed two aircraft carriers, additional B-2 bombers and fighter jets, as well as Patriot and THAAD air defenses, to the Middle East, officials acknowledged privately. By the end of the first 30 days of the campaign, the cost had exceeded $1 billion, the officials said.
• So many precision munitions were being used, especially advanced long-range ones, that some Pentagon contingency planners were growing increasingly concerned about overall stocks and the implications for any situation in which the United States might have to ward off an attempted invasion of Taiwan by China.
  [I told you I read somewhere they hounded an F-35 outta their airspace. The humiliation is astounding. Not just the US Navy. The US Air Force too. And the lunatics continue to posture against the three civilizational-states when their bare asses chap in the air]

⭕ 🇺🇸🇾🇪📝 A New Era

The revelation the Houthis nearly downed an F-35, the newest stealth fighter in the American arsenal, is a major event as notable as the two incidents we previously covered on Houthi ASBMs nearly hitting American aircraft carriers.

The mythology of American military prowess as it currently stands is centered around their air and naval advantages. That a Middle Eastern militant group, armed and supplied by Iran, can not only seriously endanger them but impose massive costs upon the American military to the extent they are forced to concede the battle is nothing less than a revolution in military affairs confirmed. If the Houthis can do this, State actors (Such as China and Russia) definitely can and the costs of air and sea denial assets are much cheaper than the implements of power projection.

This event cannot be understated in terms of historical importance…

Holders of Russian cards will be able to conduct small transactions via Mir Pay on Shaparak terminals without entering a PIN, while larger transactions will require PIN entry.

⭕🇱🇾 Causes of the clashes in Tripoli – division of spheres of influence

In view of the large amount of nonsense that various local pages and sources have now begun to write in unison, I decided to explain in very simple language what is happening in the capital.

In the west of Libya there are 4 centers of the greatest concentration of groups with specific strength – Tripoli, Misrata, al-Zawiya and al-Zintan.

In each of these cities there are several groups, many of which are legally part of either the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Ministry of Defense, but in fact they are independent gangs under the control of the government of al-Dbeiba. He pays them, they support him. A kind of marriage of convenience.

In recent days, the conflict between the Misrata groups and the capital’s Ghaniwa al-Kikli group over the division of spheres of influence and control over various commercial organizations has intensified.

During the conflict, several columns left Misrata in the direction of the capital, after which reinforcements left from al-Zawiya for Ghaniwa al-Kikli. Also, a column of groups pulled up from al-Zintan to support, just in case, the Minister of the Interior, Imad al-Trabelsi, who before his appointment was the leader of one of the capital’s formations. This is a Mexican TV series.

As a result, apparently, the parties did not reach an agreement, which resulted in fighting.

Our subscriber’s masterpiece video shows the adhan (call) for night prayer accompanied by the sounds of fighting.
[This is the wild west of Libya. Infested with salafis, gangsters, tribal mafias, Dönmeh/Marranos in Misirata, Turks & Anglo-Zionists. A factional fight broke out, like happens every now and then between the headchopper gang in Idleb in Syria. A sorry bilious lot. The hopeful half of Libya is in east and south, controlled ironically by former CIA asset Haftar, who attended the #Victory80 Day in Moscow]

🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: Iran is going to take out Al Udeid Air Base? The Saudi US bases? Etc?

I think a lot of Iran’s so-called capabilities is all talk.
🔻 WS: I am increasingly convinced that Iran’s strike capabilities EXCEED what they have already demonstrated in their 2020 attack against the Ayn al-Asad airbase and their 2024 attacks against Israeli targets.

I think their anti-ship missile capabilities are particularly potent.
🔻 The Political Islam: Iran has been an empire since around 600 B.C., enduring through the rise and fall of superpowers over the course of several millennia.

Empires like Iran don’t survive by constantly waging wars; they thrive by mastering the strategic art of negotiating empire-building deals when necessary, delaying conflicts when possible, and only fighting when absolutely required.

Note: Iran leverages religious identity—particularly the Shia-Sunni divide—as a strategic tool, much like Pakistan’s “strategic depth” doctrine in Afghanistan, to extend its geopolitical influence. Its support for Shia (Hezbollah; Ansarullah, etc.) and Sunni groups (Hamas) is guided more by national interest than by ideology, and Tehran has demonstrated a willingness to abandon allies (in Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan) when necessary.

🔻 WS: History is hard.

Realpolitik is hard.

Math is hard.

Long-term strategy is hard.

Civilizational states like Russia, China, and Iran have endured precisely because, over the centuries, for the most part, they have excelled at all these things.
🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: Maybe you’re right. They haven’t done much of anything to stop the genocide in Gaza though. They left Nasrallah hung out to dry. Assad too. I am not impressed at all.
🔻 WS: Iran’s capabilities cannot be judged on the basis of their strategically logical refusal to get involved in a conflict that would have negated their logistical and asymmetric advantages in a defensive war against the US/Israel.

The same reasoning applies to Russia.
🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: Maybe.
🔻 WS: Involving themselves in Syria or Lebanon would have been a strategic blunder for Iran and/or Russia.

Instead, they took a far wiser course of action: they helped the Yemeni inflict a humiliating strategic defeat against the US and Israel in the Battle of the Red Sea.
🔻 The FIX Collective: If ever there was a time when they had justification to respond in a protracted military operation, it was after their consular grounds were attacked by Israel, killing senior military personnel. They shat the bed.
🔻 WS: I adamantly disagree with this assessment.

Both Iran and Russia have consistently taken a long view of the wars they are fighting against the empire and its vassals. Yes, it frustrates those who want revenge exacted NOW. But the US/NATO/Israel are being methodically defeated.
[As our friend the Gov Muhammad Al Bukhaiti of Yemen said, “Thank God our enemies are Idiots”]
🔻 The FIX Collective: Iran at that time was in a position that would have created massive pressure with the combined might of Yemen, Hezbollah, and Iran assisting in pressuring for an end to the genocide and occupation of Palestine. By delaying, they permanently lost Hezbollah, Syria, and the genocide continues. Assad would still be in power. All of this falls on Iran. They sold out for the possibility of sanctions relief. The evidence?
The absence of execution of True Promise 3. Why should anyone support Iran when they threw others under the bus for their own gain?
🔻 WS: There is absolutely nothing Iran could hope to do to prevent Israel from slaughtering the inhabitants of Gaza and the West Bank.

There is nothing Iran (nor Russia) could do to prevent Syria from crumbling. They propped up the hapless Syrians for several years. The blame for Syria’s dissolution falls entirely on the Syrians themselves.

As for Hezbollah, I am not AT ALL convinced they are a defeated force. The IDF took SEVERE losses in southern Lebanon, and advanced no more than about 1 km.

Hezbollah has simply done as it has several times in the past: melt into the background for a period of time until better opportunities present themselves.

I think it is particularly revealing that very few of the evacuated inhabitants of northern Israel have returned. They understand very well that the threat from Hezbollah has not been destroyed.

Meanwhile, Israel has weakened itself to a substantial degree by moving into southern Syria, and by exceedingly attriting its precision strike munitions stockpiles.

Both Israel and the US are SIGNIFICANTLY weakened here in mid-2025 compared to late 2023.
🔻 The FIX Collective: By that ratio ale then I am correct. A military foray by Uran would never have a better chance of success, and if not that at least great impact, and would have won the hearts of the Muslim world in the process. Instead, we see an even more pronounced sectarian divide, and the Royalists are whipped up at the prospect of regime change in Iran should war break out with the US.
All the factors in play *at that time* were prime for Iran to take action with minimal response at the UN. With minimal support to the US and allies because of their actions, or lack of them, in the face of Israel violations of the Vienna Convention, Geneva Convention, the CPPCG.
As I said. They shat the bed and lost a corridor to supply aid to their allies through Syria. That will never be restored. It is a strategic cluster fuck loss.
🔻 WS: What exactly do you think Iran could have done to prevent the slaughter in Gaza and the West Bank, or to prevent the collapse of the hapless Syrian army?

I repeat:

Both Israel and the US are SIGNIFICANTLY weakened here in mid-2025 compared to late 2023.
🔻 The FIX Collective: Yes. And it was in September 2024 Nasrallah fell, October 2024 whrn Sinwar was killed, and December when Assad fled. A sizable military presence and consistent attacks like Yemen continues to provide have an impact, would have divided Israeli military commitments, and altered US commitments in the region as well.

To address your primary argument:
The US is weaker now than 2023. In what way? They have retreated from the Red Sea . All of their assets remain safe in the region. The US has shifted slightly away from support of Israel but that changes at the drop of a hat. The presence of Iranian assets is Syria has significantly dropped. Who is weaker strategically now? Who has less soft power? Who has less military support in the region now compared to then?
Iran is on the losing side of all of that. The rest is cope.
Yes the US has been exposed as not invulnerable, but they are not strategically impaired compared to the way Iran now is.
[they’re rolling out hasbara legion against old Will. But these are lean days indeed, devoid of seasoning or rhyme, for a sad lot outta Time. The old viciousness is simply missing]
🔻 WS: I disagree with your entire assessment of the history of events in the region since the assassination of Soleimani.

In my view, it is absolutely incontrovertible that the US and Israel have been severely weakened over the course of the past 5+ years.

Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, and Iraq are buffer states for Iranian security. They are serving their purpose well. And Iran is in a more secure and formidable strategic position than at any time in the past few centuries. It is on a trajectory to become the dominant power in the region, with Russia and China as strategic allies.

Meanwhile, Israel is on the verge of a coup d’etat or even something approximating a civil war. To me, that is one of the most revealing indicators of all.
🔻 The FIX Collective: Depends on how you view it. Longer term views going back to Cablegate and their revelations on which countries would be overthrown and why shows only one left standing. Largest US embassy in the Middle East is being built where? The combination of military and soft power is an entirely different conversation but the one that matters most.
On the kne hand, Hamas has opened the eyes of most of the world to the horror that is the reality of Israel. On the other, nothing is being done about it because of UN veto power and lack of political will.
Militarily the US still has the upper hand. That bars the topic of nukes, which has both the US and Israel as holders and Iran without.
If Iran had nuclear weapons, I would totally agree. Is Iran stronger than 5 years ago? Capability yes. Strategically not so much
🔻 James O’Malley: In what way do you think the USA has the upper hand militarily? I certainly do not agree. Iran would spank the USA in any war in the theater, and quite probably eject the USA from the greater middle east if a high intensity conventional war occurred between them.
🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: u r joking right?
🔻 James O’Malley: Absolutely not.
🔻 ₦₳V𝚜𝚝é𝚟𝚊 🇷🇺 ᴢ: You’re not alone in thinking all the US could do is take it on the chin.
🔻 WS: If the context is a ground invasion of Iran by the US, then I will state categorically that it could not be done. The Army and Marines — COMBINED — have only 175k combat effectives. And the US could not land and sustain even HALF that many fully equipped troops.
🔻 AT: That the current posture Iran has taken is more detrimental to Israel than a full blown war is shown by the fact that Israel is desperate to have that war.

Currently the Israeli society is divided and eating itself up from the inside. A war would likely unite it and mobilize it.
🔻 WS: The only kind of wars that unite people are wars that can be won.

Israel could not win a war against Iran.

In fact, Israel’s economy and infrastructure would suffer devastating damage in a war with Iran.

There is no meaningful metric by which Israel can gain from such a war.
🔻 AT: In the short term, I still think that the deep divisions in the Israeli society would be put to the side if they were to find themselves in an existential war. These divisions are currently ripping the country apart, it wouldn’t make sense for Iran to help heal them.
🔻 WS: The only US/Israel option against Iran is air strikes. But a high-intensity air campaign could not be sustained for more than a few weeks, and precision munitions would have to be severely rationed after just a few days.

Aircraft losses would quickly be in the dozens.

• Harry S. Truman CSG, on station in the Red Sea, will soon begin the journey home, leaving Vinson as the sole carrier in the Middle East.
• Vinson CSG is coming up on 6 months deployed and nearing the latter end of its deployment. TBD if there will be any overlap with Ford/dual carriers in the region.
• Nimitz CSG is operating in the South China Sea and monitoring heavy Chinese PLA Navy activity, but could move to the Middle East if an additional carrier is required.
• Washington is forward deployed in Yokosuka, Japan
• Lincoln and Bush are at their respective homeports and available (and would be next to deploy).
• Ike, Roosevelt, and Reagan are in Planned Incremental Availabilities (PIA), which typically last 6-18 months. Stennis is getting a refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) with expected completion in 2026.

As of now, these are all scheduled deployments and regular rotations. Four carriers will likely be deployed simultaneously, but that will revert to the standard 2-3 after everything shakes out. Be wary of any headlines that say otherwise – and check back here for the latest.

🇬🇧🪖British elite regiments committed atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan for over a decade, new eyewitness accounts cited by the BBC reveal.

Allegations implicate both the British Army’s Special Air Service (SAS) and Royal Navy’s elite Special Boat Service (SBS).

🔍Their crimes included:

• Cold-blooded executions of unarmed men, and even children, shot while handcuffed.
• Killings during night raids, with civilians murdered in their sleep.
• Cover-ups, with weapons planted on bodies, and the restraints removed to fake self-defense.
• Execution of detainees as “standard operating procedure,” with junior soldiers ordered to kill by higher-ups.
• Finishing off the wounded.

💬 “They’d search someone, handcuff them, then shoot them,” before cutting off the plastic handcuffs used to restrain people and “planting a pistol” by the body, one eyewitness said.

Emerging reports about atrocities perpetrated by British special forces against civilians in Afghanistan may be a part of a “preemptive defense” of the IDF, former Pentagon analyst Ret. Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski told Sputnik.

• If and when stories of “the incredibly disturbing activities of the UK- and US-supported IDF in Gaza” come out, the public would already be taught beforehand that “war is awful, civilians and sleeping children are always killed and it’s just a few bad apples.”
• Regarding the UK soldiers and officers involved in illegal activities in Afghanistan, Kwiatkowski believes they should be placed on unpaid leave and “tried in a legal court.”
• Any key eyewitnesses and whistleblowers “need immediate protection from suicide or accidents,” Kwiatkowski adds.

⭕ Mali Slams TV5 Monde With Suspension ‘Until Further Notice’ Over Biased Reporting

The ban, not the first one, follows accusations that the channel violated Mali’s media laws during its May 3 broadcast, which covered an opposition protest in Bamako against the possible dissolution of political parties.

“These violations concern imbalance in the presentation of information, and defamation of the armed and security forces,” Mali’s High Authority for Communication stated.

In fact, Mali’s government repealed the Political Parties Charter this week, not to eliminate parties but to curb their proliferation — there were over 300 registered before the repeal — with a new regulatory law to follow.

⭕ Israel announced it will bomb the civilian infrastructure of Yemen in Ras Issa (the only harbour still operational), Hodeida and Saleef in the next hour.
⭕ For Israel to bomb civilian harbours changes nothing in strategic deterrence of Ansar Allah. It is a confirmation that Israel totally lacks any bank of objectives or intelligence information (provided by electronics or human resources – spies).
⭕ The Israeli government consider Ansar Allah launching missiles on ben Gurion airport is a “war crime” but the assassination of over 100,000 Palestinians, forcing exodus, ethic cleansing, collective punishment and destruction of civilian Homs and hospitals is normal in a war and “collateral damage”.
⭕ The enduring question is:

why does the US continue to treat Israel as its most trusted ally in the Middle East, despite its draining of its money, blatant disregard for US interests, international law, and the pursuit of peace?

The Arab countries invest trillions of dollars in the United States, while Israel consumes billions of US taxpayer money every year. The US allocates significant military aid to Israel, often enabling its aggressive policies and military actions.

Arab nations are generally compliant with US interests, yet Israel frequently flouts US diplomacy, manipulating Congress and controlling the media to attack any US president who dares to challenge its agenda. Its influence over American politics is deeply entrenched through powerful lobbying groups, which push for policies that serve Israel’s expansionist and militaristic aims.

Throughout presidential terms, Arab countries strive to maintain their relationships with the US, while Israel manipulates US elections and exerts undue influence to sway election outcomes in its favour, often through covert lobbying and interference.

Israel’s actions go far beyond mere influence; its intelligence agency Mossad spies extensively on the US, undermining US interests when convenient. Its government has engaged in unlawful assassinations, sabotage, arms smuggling, and warmongering, often with Western support, all under the guise of security but resulting in destabilisation and countless innocent casualties.

Within the region, Arab nations compete to demonstrate their loyalty to the US, yet Israel remains unaccountable and dismissive of US requests to halt conflicts or respect international law. Instead, it seeks US backing at the UN to shield itself from accountability, often at the expense of regional stability and justice.

💠@Yemen | Bab-el-Mandeb:
⭕According to Forbes magazine, the potential loss or capture of a pilot in Yemen was a nightmare that the U.S. administration sought to avoid.

Forbes magazine highlights that the crash of an F-35, the only stealth fighter exported by the United States, into the hands of the Houthis—who were believed to have makeshift and weak air defenses—would have been a significant embarrassment and negatively impacted future export deals.

The magazine also points out that the dangerous proximity of surface-to-air missiles that targeted the American F-35 over Yemen could have implications for Israel, which utilizes this type of aircraft.

With the Houthis proving their ability to threaten U.S. F-35 fighters, there remains a possibility that Israeli F-35 jets could face similar fire.

Forbes concludes by noting that the downing of an Israeli aircraft of this model over Yemen would be a major PR victory for the Houthis.
[no, the loss of millions of stormtroopers did not and will not deter nazis – it is the humiliation of losing F-35s to besandled poor men.. of losing residual fighting will in their legions, and then not being able to ignite the fateful Murder-Suicide with Persia. So it was loss of the last vestiges of prestige via shot-down hardware, and the intent on committing even greater crimes that made them temporarily pull back. But they’ll come back to Yemen shortly. In Eschatology, it was foretold after they nuke Persia, they would do the same to the last Resistance arabs…]

💠 Omar Baloch:
⭕️ India vs Pakistan

US Stopped ‘Nuclear War’ says Trump but ….. something else went wrong.

(Read only if you are interested in knowing the other side of the story on the ceasefire)

So the US had nothing to do with this India/Pak tension right? At least thats what JD Vance claimed when it all began. But then something changed. All of a sudden Trump stepped in to de-escalate the crisis and announced a complete ceasefire with immediate effect resulting in India becoming a global shame and losing all its credibility and hype.

The question is … what went wrong?? Something triggered the west and this is where I believe two things went wrong for them:

First, China’s military tech went viral.

When pakistan used chinese made PL15 missiles and JF-17 Block III fighter jets to knock down Indian Rafales, chinese defence stocks exploded! Stock of AVIC Chengdu Aircraft Corporation (maker of the JF17 and J10C jets) spiked by 36% in just two days after Operation Sindoor was turned into Cold Tandoor. This is where the global military investors started realizing that china’s weapons just proved themselves on the live battlefield against western supplied tech. This means a direct threat to every US and Israeli military contract globally. This war was not Pakistan VS India only, it was Chinese VS Western war technology too.

Result? the biggest Marketing/PR campaign for chinese weapons came through its very close ally, Pakistan. Basically this war gave a live demo to the world and it worked.

On the other hand, Israel supported India during this conflict and India used Israeli 77 HAROP drones against Pakistan. These drones became part of the battlefield and global headlines. This did not just raise eyebrows but also lit up anti-Israel sentiment across the muslim world especially in Kashmir and Pakistan. It turned an India vs Pakistan war to a “Hindu-Jewish alliance” against Muslims. This combination created a dual threat for the West; china’s military tech suddenly gained global attention and the US could not afford a public erosion of ‘Israeli credibility’ (this is another story that relates to Abraham Accords).

The second trigger to US was when Pakistan made a move nobody expected. A very smart move…

According to internal sources, top stakeholders inside Pakistan’s war room deliberately leaked one specific meeting trail where it was debated that Israel’s involvement via India gives Pakistan a legitimate reason to escalate directly against Israel if needed. In other words, Pakistan was openly discussing the idea of targeting Israel because it had actively supported India.

*Clarification Update: (Dont confuse escalation/target with attack. It was never about launching an actual attack on Israel but a more direct conflict. It meant Pakistan was preparing to engage or respond if things escalated not that we were about to start dropping bombs!)

Pakistan as a nuclear armed country backed by china and talking about going after Israel (in an open conflict)? That is a red line they are not ready to test. They simply cannot afford it.

The only solution for the US was a quick de-escalation and that is exactly what the US facilitated claiming that the world needs no ‘Nuclear War’.

So what did US do immediately after announcing a ceasefire? While everyone’s focus remained on ceasefire and social media battle, a very important meeting took place in Geneva. Out of no where, US and China sat down for trade talks and within just hours…

1) US Reduced tariffs from 145% to 30%
2) China Reduced tariffs from 125% to 10%
3) $600 billion freeze in trade was reopened.

So now you understand?? All of this happened because of how Pakistan performed in the air and on the ground against India. Pakistan did not just win and foreshadow the future events in the region.

However,  Pakistan needs to implement sharia, implement the Anti Riba [usury] laws of the sharia courts.  PAKISTAN needs to do towbah [repentance for past crimes].  Otherwise, the blessing of these wins will turn into losses.

Orange gave the mafia kiss of death to the desert bedouin regimes that welcomed him so unguardedly, lavishing him with unprecedented wealth and pomp and ceremony, and self-humiliation.
He:

• made clear to their peoples (the remaining intelligent) that these regimes are not of them, not seeing themselves as their stakeholders or their protectors. They serve not Arabism, Islam, tribalism, or even the basic self-preservation of their kind. HOW can ANY welcome the Butcher of all true semites with such glee?????? These are two-bit actors, owned lock, stock & barrel
• made clear to the global majority that an absolute madness reigns on the eastern shores of the Persian Gulf, just as in Europe or India or 404; they threw their lot in with Legion, and are indeed part of Legion.
• the coordinated purple tie and purple carpet made clear Purple Rain is their sovereign and deity. This is profound messaging to any of the wise who contemplate Signs (more later)
• made clear to the BRICS, they were betrayed and the accession of the arab regimes was sabotage, as Brazil has been turned; there can be no future with them. So they will be abandoned and left to the tender mercies of Legion, when it is their turn to be Purged

around 1:15, note the large “one-eyed” cameras ostentatiously aimed at each of the desert bedouin leaders of the GCC. Like guns! They’re under Compulsion. A tightly scripted show indeed.

⭕ President Donald Trump stated that, during his recent tour of the Middle East, he discussed with regional leaders the possibility of relocating Palestinians from Gaza to a nearby country, most likely Libya.

The suggestion, framed as a pragmatic solution, carries the chilling undertone of forced displacement masquerading as diplomacy.

What Trump notably failed to mention was Israel’s ongoing campaign of genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. He offered no condemnation, no acknowledgment of the devastation inflicted by Israel on Palestinian civilians. Nor did he ask the most basic question:

What do the Palestinians want? Their right to remain on their land, to fight the occupation, to resist displacement, and to shape their own future was ignored entirely. The idea of relocation was floated without consent, without legitimacy, and without a single word recognising that exile is not a choice. It’s yet another crime when imposed

⭕ In Lebanon, Hezbollah will never relinquish its weapons—not now, and not in the face of shifting geopolitics across the Middle East. The unprecedented wave of normalisation with Israel, particularly involving countries once aligned with the Palestinian cause—including, to a high degree, Syria—has only deepened Hezbollah’s conviction that armed resistance remains essential and unquestionable.

For Lebanon’s Shia community, the sense of encirclement is real and growing. Surrounded by hostility and increasingly isolated in a region tilting toward Tel Aviv, they view the resistance not just as a military force but as a shield for survival and existence.

Despite external pressure and internal rhetoric suggesting otherwise, support for Hezbollah is intensifying beneath the surface regardless criticism related to the last war’s consequences. In times of existential uncertainty, the call for disarmament sounds less like peace—and more like surrender.

⭕️ Today I talked to Garland Nixon about the fundamental difference between charity and solidarity, and why it REALLY matters.

We discussed the latest developments in Burkina Faso, where 700 north Korean commandos have been sent to help guard the revolutionary leadership and the country’s vital infrastructure – and to transfer vital knowledge about how to build a secure anti-imperialist country in the face of incessant assassination and coup plots from the nefarious western regimes, which are desperate to stop Burkina’s sovereigntist project from succeeding, and its dangerous (to their profits) example from spreading (as it is already doing).

We talked about the vital role being played by the DPRK – now the longest-lived socialist country on Earth – in strengthening the anti-imperialist camp. Its understanding of the essential need for solidarity has always been put into practice (see transfer of tunnelling expertise to the middle east for just one key example) and it has NEVER, in 76 years, bowed the knee to the imperialists.

We also touched on what we learned from Victory Day (9 May), some of the lessons to be learned by anti-imperialists from the fall of Syria, and the vital role of workers in the west if we going to finally bring down the imperialist system, which is long past its sell-by date but clinging on using its mountains of cash and creating oceans of blood.

⭕️ Donald Trump visited Saudi Arabia before any other nation during his first term in the White House, bucking the tradition for American presidents to make their first foreign trip to Britain. In his second term he also chose the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates) for his first official visit (the pope funeral was unexpected.) Washington has many reasons to focus on the Middle East. The region supplies almost half of the crude oil China needs, is a strategic theatre and a crucial trade corridor linking Asia with Europe and Africa.

▪️ Trump’s visit underscores the US’ intention to underpin a US-led Middle East alliance system aimed at containing Iran, excluding China and Russia, and consolidating US hegemony in the region.

He, and other American officials, have used power not for peace, but for massacres in Gaza, for starting wars wherever they could, and to support their proxies.

Who has used power for peace?
Yes, power can be used for peace and security — and for this very reason, we will, despite our enemies, continue to increase our own power day by day, God willing.

But they haven’t done that—they used power to provide heavy ton bombs to the Zionist regime to drop on the heads of children in Gaza, on hospitals, and on homes in Lebanon and wherever else they could.

The President of the US proposed a model to these Arab countries—a model that, according to his own words, suggests that without the US, these countries wouldn’t survive even 10 days. That’s exactly what he said:

“If America isn’t there, they can’t last 10 days.”

America claims it is the one keeping them going, and now, in its dealings, behavior, and proposals, it is once again offering this same model: One where these countries are dependent on the US for survival.

But this model is destined to fail.
Thanks to the will and determination of the peoples of the region, America must and will leave this region.

Without a doubt, the root of corruption, war, and division in this region is the Zionist regime—a dangerous, deadly cancerous tumor that must be uprooted —and it will be.

The Islamic Republic has clear principles and a well-defined value system.

Despite all the ups & downs that have occurred around us, the IR has remained steadfast on these principles and has moved the country forward.

Today’s Iran is not the same as 30, 40, or 50 years ago.

Today, by God’s grace and favor—and to the dismay of our enemies and despite the hostility of others—Iran has advanced, and God willing, it will progress even further, many times over.
Everyone will witness this.

Our youth will experience this progress in the best possible way, and God willing, they will all contribute to building the ideal Islamic Iran.

⭕‼️ There is much doubt circulating in respect to the alleged Russian threat to demand A LOT MORE than just four oblasts.

I would remind everyone that Putin, from the very beginning, has demanded NATO remove missiles from Poland and Romania, and return to its 1997 borders. 🤔
🔻 Ed H. Hanna: In my estimation, the Russian objectives of the Special Military Operation — which has recently begun evolving into a serious war — against NATO in Novorossiya/Ukraine (including rolling back NATO forces to their 1997 limits) are on a realistically sustainable trajectory to be achieved effectively and efficiently. All necessary logistics, execution plans, capabilities, and contingencies are in place.

The critical question is how much Western and NATO governments are willing to sacrifice in pursuit of a second Cold War against Russia. Are they prepared to risk NATO, the EU, or the prominence of Western currencies (USD, Euro, and GBP), along with the greatly inflated perception of their military capabilities? Do Western nations and their publics yearn for economic depression or hyperinflation?

The U.S. government debt has now surpassed $36.85 trillion and is on track to reach $40 trillion before 2027 (usdebtclock.org/index.html#).

Continuing to borrow money from the rest of the world to fund wars and facilitate wealth transfers from the global working and middle classes to enrich modern Western and American oligarchs is an unsustainable strategy that is likely to culminate in an economic catastrophe. No amount of pledges for “investment in the U.S. economy” by oil monarchies or others can alter this trajectory. This is simply the underlying physics of economics, and NO ONE can defy physics.

The Trump administration seeks to achieve Federal Reserve interest rate cuts and an international devaluation of the Federal Reserve currency (U.S. Dollar):

Firstly, rate cuts without inflation control, job market stability, and economic robustness would significantly harm the bond market and erode confidence in the value and security of U.S. Treasury Bonds. Serious economists and investors understand these facts.

Secondly, efforts to devalue the U.S. Dollar would result in the devaluation of U.S. Treasury Bonds held by Americans as well as foreign individuals and governments. If achieved (which is currently highly unlikely), a devaluation of the U.S. Dollar (and the consequent U.S. Treasury Bond devaluation) would effectively constitute monetary theft by the U.S. government. |link|

🔻 WS: It surprises me how few people seem to appreciate the importance of demographic vitality in relation to societal vitality.
[this is a very complicated thing. Technology is a factor; the Great Poisoning of food, soil, water, pharma by eugenicists; arrogance and selfishness of cosmopolitans; odious debt and slave wages driving both couples into workplace; modern mindsets, etc. The societal need for regeneration during existential wars too. This is well known, and why zionazis and the West aim for Palestinian wombs above all other targets]
🔻 Art: No. As long as exists retirement/pension systems, the demographic will not improve. To do more children, people need to feel necessity of it.
[an understated comment. A true gem. There were many efficacious and practical disincentivizing loitering mines and drones laid by the focused Technocracy of the Moshiach. The Beast needs a reduced world. The Western Garden was always the easier first task]
🔻 b g.: 💯 agree that demographic vitality is critical for long term social vitality.
I am only disagreeing that fecundity indicates social well being. Many examples to contradict that premise.
🔻 WS: My argument is that fecundity is one of the most telling indicators of a prosperous and spiritually healthy society — not that fecundity alone produces those outcomes.

Utah has long had the highest birth rate in the US, and is among the most prosperous and spiritually healthy.
[Yemen arguably has the healthiest spirituality on earth – as a cohesive well-knit group. They’re also among poorest on earth. But I suspect we differ in definition of “prosperous”. And Yemen also has among highest fecundity on earth. There are too many variables for a simple explanation…]
🔻 b g.: And that’s where my disagreement lies – fecundity being an indicator of prosperity/healthy. We find far more examples countering that premise than favoring it.
I maintain that it is a requirement for healthy/prosperous society, but not an indicator of one.

• There is no truth to the rumors about Hamas agreeing to release 9 prisoners in exchange for a 2-month ceasefire.
• We took the initiative to free soldier Aidan Alexander in order to prepare the ground for reaching an agreement, but the US administration did not appreciate our step.
• The resistance is fine, and there are no concerns about its future. Its operations are continuing despite the huge difference in equipment compared to the enemy.

[Regarding Biden’s “aggressive cancer” narrative. This is almost certainly a lie. Given battery of extensive and excessive tests and imaging the POTUS is forced through EVERY single year, including for cancer given age risk, it would have been caught much earlier. And such invasive aggressive cancers are MUCH less common in elderly. They DO have prostrate cancer, corresponding to decade of life (so 80% of 80-year-olds WILL have it, but it is so slow-growing and inconsequential that they die of other causes). So this is another narrative filler, and to gain worthless sympathy points, and to get a used up criminal actor off the Stage for good]

We are not going to ask anyone for permission to enrich, and we will not stop it under any circumstances.”

“It is truly a blatant fallacy to say that anyone who enriches must be looking for a bomb or can make one. If this is the case, then all enrichment facilities in South Korea, Brazil, or many other countries should be gathered.”

⭕ 🇷🇺🇪🇺 “In the current complex military-political situation, the Baltic Fleet reliably ensures the safety of shipping and prevents provocations by the naval forces of unfriendly states”

⭕Answer to the pirates of the Baltic Sea:

On May 18, Russia detained the Liberian-flagged oil tanker Green Admire, which had left the Estonian port of Sillamae on an agreed route in the direction of Rotterdam, ERR reported, citing the Estonian Transport Department.

The tanker with shale oil on board was sailing through Russian territorial waters. “This navigation route was chosen to ensure the safety of navigation and does not strictly follow state borders,” notes Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna. “It was established by mutual agreement between Russia, Estonia and Finland.”

The Russian side has not yet commented on the incident.
❗️According to international maritime law, a state has the right to inspect, detain or control ships passing through its territorial waters.

Estonia has previously detained at least twice vessels that it linked to the so-called “shadow fleet of Russia” used to circumvent international sanctions. In April, the tanker Kiwala, flying the flag of Djibouti, was detained in Estonian territorial waters, and on May 14, the Estonian Navy attempted to stop the tanker Jaguar in international waters. It was suspected of violating sanctions. Estonian troops tried to force the vessel to leave international waters and head for the republic’s territorial waters, where they could detain it. They threatened to ram the vessel and twice attempted to land troops from a helicopter. The crew refused to stop, and Russia sent a Su-35 fighter jet to escort the vessel.
⭕ 🏴‍☠️ 🇩🇰 🇺🇸 Piracy in the Baltic. Denmark to deploy American unmanned boats in the Baltic Sea

American company Saildrone plans to deploy four 10-metre Voyager unmanned boats in Danish waters next month to “ conduct maritime surveillance missions in the Baltic Sea ”. But is it really that peaceful?

In the spring of 2025, Saildrone also opened a subsidiary in🇩🇰 Copenhagen , planning to expand its presence (and the presence🇺🇸 US intelligence ) in the region. The deployment will be carried out in close cooperation with the Royal Danish Navy, and the UAVs are equipped with a suite of intelligence- gathering sensors and an AI-powered data processing system. Last month, the Danish government approved a series of plans to expand the navy, including a program to evaluate autonomous platforms for surface and underwater surveillance.

• Voyager is a rather unique drone.
• Displacement: 2.5 tons
• Length: 10 meters
• Height: 4.5 meters including the wing-sail
• Material: carbon fiber
• Solar panels: 400W to power electronics
• Backup motor: 4 kW electric motor
• Autonomy: up to 12 months in the open sea Payload: Up to 390 kg of scientific and military equipment:
• Sail wing area of ​​16 m²
• Multi-beam sonar, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), infrared and optical cameras with AI analytics
• Iridium and Starlink satellite communications
• Automatic Identification System (AIS)

With its good characteristics, the drone is actively used by the US Navy. Since 2023, Voyager boats have been patrolling the Persian Gulf, monitoring the activity🇮🇷 Iran. They are also used as a mobile weather station and a communications relay for US Navy ships . As part of the Unmanned Campaign Framework program, drones have created 3D maps of Guam waters to prepare for underwater operations , and Voyager passive acoustic sensors record submarine noise at depth.

Voyager can withstand waves up to 10 meters high and winds of 70 knots (130 km/h), autonomously navigate complex routes, and due to the absence of engine noise, the drone is difficult to detect by sonars.

✨ Everything points to the fact that Saildrone’s plans are not just ” monitoring a busy shipping route ,” but military reconnaissance, scanning underwater communication and supply routes, and preparing a seabed map for maritime operations in the interests of the navy. 🚩 NATO.

European politicians are not trying to hide their intentions to increase tensions in the Baltic Sea:

“Russia has 500 ships of the “shadow fleet”, 60% of which pass through the Baltic Sea. If we control the shadow fleet, we will have enormous influence,” the defense minister noted.🇪🇪 Estonia Anno Pevkur.

“The EU does not yet have sufficient resources, ships and aircraft to launch a mission to intercept tankers carrying Russian oil, so such a mission is not currently under discussion,” the head of the Military Committee said.🇪🇺 European Union Robert Briger following the meeting of the EU Chiefs of Staff. “We have not yet received a political task to launch such a mission,” he said. “But if such a task is set, then we need to have the necessary resources.”

At the same time, the Chief of the General Staff of the Estonian Defence Forces, Vahur Karus, noted that recently there was the first case when, during an attempt to detain the Jaguar tanker, which was en route to Russia from India, the Russian military demonstrated its readiness to protect the “shadow fleet” by sending aircraft to cover the vessel.
[note, as with ISR, C&C, ammo, hardware, political cover at the UNSC, ICJ, and 99% of means of global savagery and aggression, the US is forced to provide the EuroCrazies the means for the Piracy of the Baltic. IOW, Orange is about to take fateful steps leading to a direct clash with the Russian Federation on the waters of its oldest fleet. There will be no return from such fateful steps. CONUS and all US assets will be incinerated in inevitable escalation-counterescalation runaway escalator unless the lunatics pull back and realize they already lost, and this terrorism and piracy cannot and shall not stand]

“We will not back down on the enrichment issue,” local media quoted the deputy FM as saying.

Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi previously confirmed that a date for the next round of talks with the United States has been agreed upon and will be announced soon.

With total exposure and denial of conventional means of aggression, they are reduced to two and only two means right now – threats and nuclear war. The latter remains the steel behind the threats.
