KeymasterMr P, I picked up somewhere that one would need a massive thing to shoot an aircraft carrier … Like a nuke or an Oreshnik or massive firepower. Would you know? They say 4 missiles went flying against one of the carriers, but I have no idea of what it would take to do damage? Do you have an idea?

KeymasterMichael is still continuously updating his article. We are sending it far and wide. On the site here, some updates are already in. Yikes, it is busy .. none of us get something fully written and then the daily noise overshadows it again.

KeymasterIran has not stopped for more than 10 hours now. They are sending missiles to everything .. Hotels in Dubai, Bahrain and Jordan (said to be hangouts of Israeli and US planners) , Bahrain to US bases, I cannot follow where all but they have not stopped – I cannot follow where in Israel. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Saturday that “regime change” in the Islamic Republic of Iran is an “impossible mission.” Professor Marandi says Iran has hundreds of thousands of missiles and drones in its missile and drone cities that were prepared for a potential US attack, which is a much more powerful adversary than Israel.
Ministry of Defense: Operation True Promise 4 will continue until the enemy is defeated.

KeymasterOK .. oh, I need somebody to fix me.
I’m actually anti-war. I don’t want people and children and groups and communities shot up by anyone. It is a frustrating experience with China, because they simply refuse to enter any war. With the SMO, I could live with it, because it is a war of soldiers, not of non-combatants. With this war, everyone is up in arms shouting for diplomacy and stop the carnage and so on. And yet, internally I feel that Iran should continue and shoot the bejesus out of anyone that they can get to. And then, I don’t want Iran to be shot up in turn.

KeymasterYup, Straights of Hormuz closed.
Crone, I don’t see a major increase in oil prices yet .. everything is up but mostly less than 3% across the board. Let’s watch now as Hormuz is now closed for sure … best I can determine.

KeymasterThey’ve lost!
The US has lost these ‘negotiations’. This is so stupid that it is hilarious. Iran should ask for Gen. Suleimani back. There are three ‘pots’ in a normal negotiation. One is the sweet one, where things work for both parties.
The next is the average one where sometimes giving up hurts and that goes for both sides. The last is the bitter pot, where it does not work. Trump is sitting with his ass in the bitter pot. I wonder if they sit around and do a brainstorm as to what next they can throw into the mix?Remember with the Chinese Tariff debacle .. Eventually Trump called the impossible – a 145%. China said, fine, wanna raise? bringing to the debacle the completely absurd! This the the same, completely absurd! Iran will not give up its missile program.

KeymasterA note on Ritter(Ripper).
Using a similar situation and I don’t like the man and I don’t trust him. I will accept technical explanations should they read true and should they bear out to the reality. His stories leave me cold as his stories serve only Scott. His tone, his politics, his attiude .. that can fall by the wayside and I’m not interested.
Let’s just do a comparison of how we take in information.
Elijah Magnier is a beloved of certain circles. I don’t like him, I think he spreads his own news that he maybe invented himself. But, he is beloved. Taking a look at the other side of this:


This happens – and there is a benefit in taking a look at those that we despise. (I really do kinda despise (Ripper) but I learned the type from him.
I’ve never seen this kind of pushback against Elijah Magnier – yet, I ignore him and have done so forever. It is a sense yes .. we have those senses.
Sometimes they bear out true, and sometimes they don’t bear out true. The two women journalists on Syria and the region, and their schtick that “Russia lost Syria”, made me sick. Yet, those were the two to wised me up on Ritter and they tore him apart. Now I mainly ignore them excepting that the are on the list to check on the region.
It is just a thing of following one’s own bliss. If you don’t trust someone, don’t follow for sure. In this case Ritter broke the story of the medium range missile into Russia – he broke it for the western world. Nobody in the western commentating sphere would have understood why Russia is so mad and why they are threatening nuclear retaliation. What I gained, is that I could go back to the Russian world and compare why they are freaking out. Knowing via Scott the specs of that Flamingo, I understood the Russians. Smoothie had not said a word and still he has not explained it because he assumes everyone knows what a medium range missile does, and what this one can do. I certainly don’t natively but I do know the times that Russia’s nuclear shield was attacked. Twice with drones and I did not know that they had this Flamingo thing. Now drones they can deal with. Seemingly they can deal with the Flamingo because it is slow. Yet there is always a bleed through.
In a sense I agree with Larch. But I do not expect the Russians to react as the westerners would like them to react.
So, there are ups and downs to hearing out someone that one inherently does not trust – and then, verify! I had to take a look at Trump last evening. No need to verify because we know the lies. The two things that I picked up were worth while .. and the one is that the Epstein Class is making a turn and going for the midterms. Perhaps we will get somewhat of a break, a respite. Consider Tucker Carlson – I mean, I don’t care for him. But his interview – more the way that he did it, is causing a diplomatic rift between gulfies and zionists and that is a good thing. I had a complaint because I spoke about the interview and got a little feisty .. Told the guy that what I am saying is true for that day, and tomorrow is another day. It so happens that the fallout of the interview developed legs.
We are in unique times – truly flying solo, and I go through my international relations training processes kinda daily, and those make little sense excepting that it gives me somewhat of a structure.
Screw Scott Ripper and thanks for all the fish on the Flamingo.

KeymasterAah Prof Jiang. I’ve not had time to check him lately.
REQUEST FOR EMERSONRETURN
Only if you feel good and can do it otherwise I’ll pick up but I have some personal issues to attend to today and part of tomorrow.
There is a Sahel Revolutionary Soldier running a very good Twitter feed on the Sahel .. Would you scroll through there and pull out for the Africa thread whatever you find appropriate please? And truly, only if you are able.
Here is the link: https://x.com/cecild84
And let me just repeat how to stick a tweet.
So, open the tweet by clicking on it – just anywhere.
Then click on the three little dots on the right hand top corner and select Embed Post
It will give you a screen with 2 options .. embedded video and embedded post. Choose embedded post
Copy the code and paste it back in here .. On the right hand top here in this window, you have to be in code mode. There is visual and code .. just see that you are in code mode.
Presto you are done. Do that six times and you can do it with your eyes closed.
Dont do too many, as we will have to refresh that thread otherwise it goes stuck on us.
Only if you can!

KeymasterNote for emersonreturn:
The video – I sent through my Brazil friends and the last answer came back this morning from Quantum Bird. Let me quote it for you. Consensus is that it is garbage.
“I heard nothing about it. I also gave a look in the official channels from the presidency and found nothing.
Moreover, such agreement makes no sense at all. The reported countries are ex-colonial assets from Britain and, part of Five Eyes and deeply committed to destroy BRICS, not the opposite.
Such accord without China is not even implementable. The naval assets of these countries are not enough to move such trade, and the commodities they have to offer are strongly redundant. ”There we have it!

KeymasterMario Nafal is an idiot.
Jalisco, Guanajuato and some unrest in Veracruz. Schools and Universities in the affected states will be closed tomorrow and airports will be decided upon in the next hours. The rest is peaceful and as usual. Today I read that the major collection for Cuba at the square (zocalo) in Mexico City was massively successful.
People that write stuff like this: “Pretty close to a full on WAR in Mexico” just do not know what they are talking about. Puerto Vallarta is a tourist town and the tourists are going nuts seeing cars burning and busses burning. So the rhetoric is over the top. We will see in a few hours what Claudia Sheinbaum has to say in her morning review. DD Geopolitics is not so bad. They have this taco stand that is continuing to operate with customers waiting right in Puero Vallharta. I was there when this little tourist town was just beginning to develop and it was sweet then – still a local flavor. Now I don’t know.
I don’t see Mexicans reporting about violence in this night. The tourists are going bananas. Mexicans are calling US interference.

At least CartelWatch is not too bad this time but usually they are feral:
Chaos erupts across parts of Mexico, particularly in Jalisco, following the confirmed killing of CJNG leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias "El Mencho," in a Mexican military operation.
