KeymasterThere was nothing wrong with the legalities of the 25 year contract for two ports at either end of the Canal when Blackrock wanted to buy them just a few months ago and the Hong Kong management company said they are not for sale. I guess Trump is helping his buddies here – its getting to be mid-terms, if there is one. I’ve not seen major coverage in the Chinese press but will watch Nuri Vittachi. He is sure to tell us what is happening on that side of the world.
You know MrP, Michael Hudson says if debt cannot be paid, it will not be paid. I stretched that to say if trade cannot be done, it will not be done. Panama is nuts here and a knife is again at their throats I’m pretty sure. Trade will not be done. Just like the Chinese stopped buying Venezuelan oil because they would not pay the US. These ‘political wins’ is going to hasten the fall of the wannabe imperials and locals will suffer. We watch the two other ports, in Peru and West Coast of Mexico.
KeymasterA note: The source of this is Al Jazeera, so, it is really questionable – Russia, Iran & China to conduct Naval Drills in the Gulf of Oman on Feb 1-2 according to Al Jazeera.
KeymasterIt is a massive chaos out there regarding Iran. The Cradle seems to be keeping their heads and regularly repeating the Iranian statements.
Iranian army spokesperson:
– "The necessary plans have been prepared regarding a possible attack by the enemy. We have appropriate and proportionate responses for all the different scenarios that the enemy might undertake."
– "If Trump thinks he can carry out a quick operation,…

KeymasterThanks Mr P .. I’m not used to putting these up … mind slips!
KeymasterMamood wants this war. He wants Iran to demolish Zionist Israel – he can taste it.
KeymasterWell well … old tactics. If all else fails throw Erdogan into the breach. Any path to ‘negotiations’ with Iran is good enough.
KeymasterJust a beautiful community effort!
Y’all have the whole world in here in a nutshell. I can go to bed now!
Where is that bloody armada? Is there even an armada?
KeymasterThe drooling idiot commentator does not realize that the only Starlink terminals that work in Ukraine, are the ones that the Russians are also using. Thanks Elon!
KeymasterOK right .. you may question my selections but the first bit, about drones and missiles and Iran is interesting. I left when the conversation turned to Europe so take no responsibility for any further discussions lol.
KeymasterThe person in charge of censorship for Israel over at X is their new head of product, Nikita Bier.
He’s apparently unhinged and rants about the Holocaust and sees it as his mission to censor people who criticize Israel.
He’s allegedly the reason for these bizarre, Zionist…

KeymasterGet ready to welcome Periol. We are still shaking loose feathers and dealing with little stuff. The Big Stuff is all Right! It looks like this:
a spirit of faith, and not of fear
Someone .. find the song!
KeymasterGrrr .. give a minute lol. I’m recruiting but it sure is difficult to fill the shoes.
KeymasterIranian missile tested over Russia into Siberia – I was hesitant to speak on this as we had no proof. Still no proof, but reliable commentary.
Alastair Crooke just indicated that test happened. No proof, but he’s usually careful about his factual statements. He mentions it as ICBM ballistic, which if it had a glide vehicle atop, that would constitute the basic hypersonic category.
China’s is a glide vehicle and Russia has the Avangard hypersonic glide vehicle. .
@42:30 or so.
KeymasterMore Oreshnik talk .. just basically passing messages from that list to this list .. Yikes ..
…
As I understand it, very imperfectly, it is being suggested that the speed of the Oreshnik (Mach 10.6) is enough to strip a whole lot of electrons from the surface of the metal rods, but they continue very close to the metal and build up enough electrons to cause a Coulomb explosion more or less simultaneously with hitting the target. See the foot of this Wikipedia page for a similar effect:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coulomb_explosion
PS If I get time, I will try again with the video provided by Andrei Martyanov.
and then ..
Scott Ritter says that the first Oreshnik fired at Dnipro was hand-made, and they went from there to serial production (25 per week) and crew training to launch in just over a year. Oreshnik can mean a cluster of hazel nuts, and so the six metal alloy rods in each of the six canisters would be released quite close to the target. Then the friction from being directly exposed to the air at such high speeds would strip off the electrons to produce the Coulomb explosion in each within the precise area of the target. One can tell from a photo of the launch truck in Belarus (which only has 8 wheels) that the rocket is not nearly as heavy as an ICBM. So they presumably move around in forested areas, just like a Yars ICBM. The time from Belarus to Warsaw is about 2 minutes. Time to the Gairloch near Glasgow or Cape Finistere in France (where British and French nuclear submarines are located, along with the nuclear warheads) is well within the OODA loop. [Observe, Orient, Decide, Act.] Why European NATO member states think that they could take on Russia now, when Putin has stated that decision-making centres would be targeted, including presumably Northwood just outside Greater London, is a mystery. Brussels is even closer.
KeymasterOooh… I’ll catch up. Just wanted t show you someone who lies. Border Patrol Barbie Kristi Noem.
I know some do not have Telegram and I’m sorry. This was an interview on CBS, Face of the Nation, and she talks about the time that she met Kim Jong-un.
If you were wondering how easy it is to lie for Border Patrol Barbie Noem.
I’ll try to figure out how to put Telegram clips in here. At the moment it does not want to listen to me … Put this in M… ucker …. Does not help.
