    ⭕ 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…]

    The Chinese are most sensitive to issue of “face” and honor and being urinated on… but it may be too late.

    The cruelty of the Moshiach and the decisions he puts in front of the civilizational-states! Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, they work so hard to build, for the first time in millennia – a free, fair harmonious world-order sans master-slave caste system, is now being sunk in the abattoir of Gaza.

    If they lack the power or indirect means to even stop it, much less reverse and bring sanity and non-bestial co-existence to that benighted corner of the world, at the very cross-roads of their World-Island, what good are they? Who can fully trust them, to safeguard their new world system from rank savages?

    The systemic wounding is too deep.

    It has hit the mark.

    It is no longer being used to instruct the arabs, 90% of whom kneeled and fete their new-old masters as we witness in “the arabian gulf” – but to garrote the new world system in the cradle.

    Gaza and the horrors are now aimed DIRECTLY at Russia-China, shown to be impotent to stop it, even to unblock catastrophic blockade of world trade, or help their fellow BRICS members (Egypt, Iran, UAE-KSA) in West Asia to fend off Legion.

    All this informs in delays to dedollarize, to openly and quickly flee the odious usurious system, to cut off relations and en masse counter-sanction and blockade the raving nazi internationale – there is tremendous doubt in the global majority – are these putative new powers able to walk the glorious talk?

    Are they strong enough to survive?

    Willing to put the money on the line, as Russia did in Novorossiya, but far from their own shores??

    With the 404 war lost, the central location of the global contest is in the Holy Land, and they are a no show. Every single day, to remind All, 50-100 Palestinian women and children are ripped apart and carefully displayed on screens worldwide. THIS is the satanic, and effective, riposte.

    As famously said, the devil is in the detail, and now additionally owns the narrative, helping not only prolong our collective agony, but even risk snatching defeat from jaws of victory, if there is further interminable delay. The reality is both sides currently slow-boil like frogs under the atmospheres of pressure.

    The meek will surely inherit, but it is far from concluded that they will be from any of the current BRICS..

    🇬🇧🪖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.

    • 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.

    🔻 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: 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.
    🔸 No Easy Wars Left to Fight

    • 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.

    💠 @Intel Slava Z:
    ⭕ 🇺🇸🇾🇪 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…

    ⭕🇱🇾 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]

    LOL. I see Mr Hyde is back in charge


    Whereas I agree with general point, IH may not appreciate the military logic of having to fight fire with fire when an opponent is hellbent on your strategic defeat, dismembering you, and subjugating the survivors. We may despise the Junta, but they read the tea leaves. A fight is inevitable with the impassioned. This front really mirrors that between the Russkie cousins, which one side strove to prevent the detonation for eight long years. The same fatalism, bitterness and civil war between two neighboring cousins ….

    This is unfair attack. He’s great. I’ve read him and Pepe for over twenty years, since early Asia Times days. They both have their hearts in right place, and are widely cherished for high quality work.

    Does he have blind spots or make occasional mistakes? Sure. We all do.

    But not on the issue of commies inside India. Both he and his father were card carrying members. His disappointment is earned.

    I think the judgment of commies is the same as the lukewarm retreat of the late USSR nomenklatura, or the bought out and coopted western unions since ww2. or the shameful and criminal complicity of the silent western majority endorsing the holocausting of other civilizations and continents because they no longer care to fight for the right

    Surrender to the machinations of amoral elite take many forms. Of course the principle of some noteworthy individuals highlights the new prevailing rule all the more

    Keep in mind also the intimidation tactics, and thuggery of their current authorities, and the immense influence of their Anglophile presstitute media in shaping the internal environment, and denying voices to the oppressed majority

    ⭕ 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.

    It makes you want to weep, the tragedy in motion. ALL the Indian elite appear committed to their Murder-Suicide. Like in Zion, or the western mothership pirate bases, the liberals and military caste are on board with the messianic and the supremacist scum. Ambassador MKB said in his latest that even the former peacenik commies were on board with the frenzied gestalt. (patriotism being not only last refuge of the scoundrel, but those mindwashed to hate for generations) They sense it is their last chance, before the smaller enemies consolidate and use new military technologies to overcome their chains against superior odds.

    But as Hamas and Houthis can take their enemies down with them, so these do not appreciate that Pakistan may not be able to ever “win” but they can destroy too. And so would go the bright harmonious multi-nodal future, consigned to Hate and Revenge and ever futile Drangs.

    Remember this beautiful map highlighted by Amarynth? Pepe was so proud and reposted it on his channel.

    But what are the odds of this ever happening now??

    (1) Pepe was just at the southern Caspian Sea terminus where he found ZILCH – no Iranian ports worth the name, that could handle ANY sizable sea cargo. Fruits of Russia-China supporting the medieval western siege on Iran all these decades – Iran had to prioritize survival over trade with lukewarm neighbors and poured its limited wealth into ballistics and dronification up the wazoo, guaranteeing a Murder-Suicide for the demented.

    Now the INSTC is reliant on a land route through conflicted and zionazi Azerbaijan, or sphynx-like Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, increasingly seeded by salafi Hordes themselves.

    (2) But now comes the cherry on top – as the western European terminus of the BRI is DOA and a black hole for at least century due to European elite suicide, so now the southern terminus of the INSTC due to Indian emotion and insanity. The INSTC is reliant on a maritime portion that runs along Pakistan’s southern coast. The Indian Ocean is about to be militarized to even greater extent than the Red Sea..

    Even if they escape Armageddon, it may soon be down to Russia & China holding aloft the torch of civilization, as all others were instrumentalized to commit suicide or are too weak or distant to matter in the heartland of the World-Island

    ☝️ 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.

    We witness eschatology rising in front of our eyes, and those who will tie the bow on the tomb of the 5,000 Babylonian System. But first, India appears fated during its own Murder-Suicide to free us of the equally demented Pakistani Yanqui Junta. What days

    Well dear, irrespective of our differences on Imran Khan, I fear the rabid Pakistani Yanqui Junta as much as the Indian supremacists. What a stew!

    Even if they were aggressed against, they DO harbor salafi Horde to this day, instrumentalized against EVERY neighbor, including Iran and Afghanistan, both whom they bombed in just the last year when the two defended themselves.

    Pakistan has been overall more malign actor in her region since 1947.

    And I’m hearing disturbing news (Mercouris?) that the CIA is active on the Pakistani side, from within Pakistan, pushing to escalate against India, both to punish India for not fully committing to “the Indo-Pacific Drang” and to split India and Russia.

    This is a gambit against Russia as much as against China. To shatter Primakov’s original triangle, beyond hope.

    Russia has poured HUGE capital into India in last decade, furiously diversifying from West. Much of former Europe-bound oil now goes to India, and not just as middleman.

    Now Russia is being forced to choose between a duplicitous Pakistan, source of not only salafi enmity for 50 years, and defeat in 1980s Afghan, but sending the most devastating ammo of all to 404 (artillery shells) to kill Russians in the SMO in last years.

    IOW, the same scenario as in Syria repeats, but far worse. Forced to interfere, to stop a mini-Armageddon, and lose a long-term friend and third economy in the world, and delay Victory in SMO!

    What a cruel choice.

    Remember, the Great Game between Perfide and Russia revolved around (1) denial of warm water ports to Russia, and (2) separation at all costs from India.

    So I do not think Russia will be active here. Every move is a loss. And they still may not listened to, given the emotions and fatalism taking hold.

    It is up to China, Iran and Turkey to provide enough defensive tools to break the momentum. But both sides remain gungho! The same craze we see in UkroNazis trying to sabotage nuclear power plants. And both are under the unbelievable siren song of Satan’s shylocks & minions. Not good

    • Most foreign airlines have canceled their flights to “Tel Aviv,” following the attack on Ben Gurion Airport, which has left thousands of Israelis stranded abroad, forcing many of them to look for alternative flights to return.
    • Amid the instability, most foreign airlines are delaying their return to “Israel,” indicating a concerning trend of potential longer absences of foreign airlines.
    • quotes the Vice Chairman of Ofir Tours: The movement of passengers arriving and departing from “Israel” is facing significant challenges. For Israeli travelers, this means longer wait times, higher prices, and fewer direct connecting flights.
    • quotes the Vice Chairman of Ofir Tours: It is also expected that the flow of incoming travelers to “Israel” will decline, as global tour operators and individual travelers assess safety concerns.
    • Daily passenger traffic to and from Ben Gurion Airport has decreased by 30,000 passengers daily, representing an estimated decline of 43%.

    ⭕ Member of the Supreme Political Council, Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi: The victory of Yemen is a victory for Palestine, and our assessment is ongoing at three levels. What happened is a neutralization of America after its failure to prevent support.

    ⭕ The Hebrew newspaper “Calcalist”: The abandonment of “Israel” by foreign airlines causes indirect damages amounting to billions of shekels, which will be felt in the Israeli labor market.

    One missile from Yemen that fell in Ben Gurion Airport has recalled images of an airport devoid of flights.
    [the risks willing to be endured, and paid, by insurance markets is minimal – just like a handful of ships missiled by Yemen in the Red Sea caused emptying of the Red Sea and a mass detour around African Cape of Good Hope, the same process is underway. Yemen does not need to hit anything. Just have a missile land once every few days or so within the targeted airport. Then economic, transport, and psychological siege remains in effect, in perpetuity, as occurred to Eilat Port in last 2 years..]
    ⭕ The Hebrew website “Mako”: Foreign airlines continue to cancel their flights to “Israel,” following the Yemeni bombing that struck Ben Gurion Airport, and the airport authority is making efforts to open the skies as soon as possible, but so far without success.

    ⭕ A million-man “human flood” march “To support #Gaza, we defeated America and we will defeat Israel by the power of Allah”

    Yemen’s will, which supports Gaza, has triumphed by continuing its blockade on Israeli shipping in the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and Bab al-Mandab. The will of America, Israel’s special partner, in genocide war on Gaza, has failed by announcing the ceasefire of its aggressive support for Israel on #Yemen.

    • We commit to continuously developing all our capabilities and escalating the confrontation with the enemy in all fields and arenas.
    • We state our readiness and preparedness for any potential resumption of American aggression against our country.
    • The cost of confrontation with the enemies, no matter how severe it may seem, is far less than the price of complacency and negligence, which is greater and more dangerous in this life and the hereafter.

    This is the second time that the IDF has issued evacuation orders in Yemen, signaling upcoming large-scale airstrikes.

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.

    The US negotiated directly with Hamas, resulting in the release of the captive.

    This is a blow to the Israeli occupation on so many levels.

    But not to be mistaken.

    This is an accomplishment for the Resistance. No one negotiates with weak parties. No one negotiates with irrelevant parties.
