We will take a break for a few hours at this point.  I’ll move on with this thread in a few hours while Period takes a a moment to shake off some aches and pains.  A lot has been happening in his life and I hope his nose is open enough to smell the roses but Good!

In the meantime, for everyone . Participate .. Apocalyptic commentary starts here.

Presser in Moscow...https://youtu.be/oYBmRADaV6Q?t=2 Comrade Peskov speaks of the Rat fella meetin’ ….The video then lapses into a somewhat jaundiced and larded propagandistic voice-over…which calls for plenty of salt! Ahemintterested in the claim of 3 “secret” decrees… In the fullness of Time perhaps, if the claim is valid, we will know…

TOI: “Putin has NOT met with the CIA director — but Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov confirms Russian President is being briefed on ongoing contacts between U.S. and Russian intelligence services. Peskov reveals SVR and FSB channels remain open even during the “deepest crisis” in Russia-U.S. relations, but says no Kremlin-level meetings are currently planned. Peskov also drops a bombshell on the state of the Ukraine conflict — claiming the Kiev regime is “collapsing from within,” with infighting, corruption accusations, and political chaos intensifying among former partners in power. He says the front line dynamics prove Ukraine is losing, and warns that Europe is making a “big mistake” by ignoring the internal collapse of Zelensky’s government. ”

At the request of Iran, the Sultanate of Oman has stopped cooperating with the U.S. to facilitate escorted tanker movements through the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz

In the past 24 hours, no vessels have passed the Strait via the Omani route. Today, while attempting a crossing, an Indian vessel ‘HAANA’ faced warning shots from the IRGC Navy, forcing it to turn around.

@Middle_East_Spectator

Remarking that geography is nearly static, and empires ephemeral…. if claim is so, we may see in the example some rational recognition of this. Iran isn’t going to leave. And Oman also isn’t leaving…and after all, it’s territorial waters, isn’t it?

Geewhiz, that’s a lotta guns!

So Trump thinks that calling Lake Ontario Lake America and writing it on a piece of paper changes the name. Up to now, nobody where I live calls the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. And nobody calls the Strait of Hormuz the strait of America. And Trump wants to change the name of an ocean as well. Crazy uh!

Chinese cancer drug beats AstraZeneca in head‑to‑head trial

Akeso’s immunotherapy drug Ivonescimab outperformed AstraZeneca’s blockbuster Imfinzi in a phase‑3 trial for biliary tract cancer, a deadly disease with a survival rate below 5%.

🟠 The trial involved 682 patients with advanced biliary tract cancer

🟠 Patients on Akeso’s drug lived longer than those on AstraZeneca’s treatment (exact numbers are yet to be released)

🟠The drug already has approval in China for lung cancer and is seeking US approval

🟠 Akeso is now testing it against colorectal, head, and neck cancers

This success challenges global pharma giants and could bring new, effective treatments to patients worldwide.

Look. If you don’t find it fucking hilarious watching a dying 80-year-old pedophile rapist wearing 4 pounds of bronzer drawing “Lake America” over Lake Ontario like it’s some kind of genius geopolitical flex, while barely able to speak, I can’t help you.🇨🇦 😂😂😂

This is what is floating around today … St of economic collapse.

And Canada hits back.

US strategic oil reserves fall to 44-year low

The US Strategic Petroleum Reserve has dropped to 289.7 million barrels, its lowest level since 1982, according to Energy Department data.

The main factor has been the large-scale release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to stabilize global markets, prompted by the conflict with Iran.

US and Israeli military actions against Iran, which began in late February 2026, disrupted oil flows, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz, creating a significant global supply shortage.

Apocalypse

Are the changes in the US nuclear posture in effect ? Easy use of tactical nukes from now on?

What will Russia think about mounting some nuclear artillery shell under a drone, or fitting it into a missile?

The MAD logic was and is: start the response while the stuff is still flying.

This can of worms would give another reason for the Ratcliffe blitz visit.
