Sorry Mr P, but these two Duran guys should report in their own alleyway.  They are very off the mark in terms of Cuba.  The second vessel that they are looking for was a Russian Corvette, armed to the gills.  The other vessel that people spoke about was never headed for Cuba.

They talk the same story as everyone talked about Iran, when they said Iran would not cooperate with Russia.  One also cannot talk about Cuba without mentioning the blockade.  No good to say there is nobody that can talk in Cuba without bringing the blockade into the picture.  Then the one A throws in China as an also ran.  Well I think 5,000 solar systems with more on the way is not an also ran.  And a delivery of rice that will last Cuba for months.

They talk about sugar and refer to a historical sugar for oil agreement.  At the time, Russia could not supply their own beet sugar (and that is what they produce to today) and Cuba’s cane sugar was pretty sweet.

If the US starts threatening even little Cuba, it helps nobody to list what Cuba did wrong.  The US is not attacking them for what they did wrong.  The US is attacking them because there is stuff to steal and good beaches and Gusano Rubio can probably try and get his family’s stuff back.

The relationship with Venezuela was good and worked.  There is no factual basis that Russia told Cuba that Venezuela is not a good partner.  The relationship with Mexico .. well, they run two boats a week for supplies.  One in to deliver, and one out to pick up more supplies – weekly.  Russia says (Lavrov) that their attention is on international law.  Neither Russia nor China will let the issue of the embargo go.

In terms of what Cuba produced or produces, not only a tourist industry, but also medical staff for the whole of Latin America.  Not to talk about vaccines and pharmaceuticals.  That is not a small industry and the US is now stopping Venezuela as well as Nicaragua to use Cuba’s very good medical industry.   Mexico still holds on to their Cuban doctors.  We should all know that the US is all over the LAC.  The latest is that they will do something in Brazil because Brazil has cartels.  Same as the Venezuela story, same as the Mexico story.

OK; that is for starters.  What will Cuba do?  What they’ve always done, put their heads down and survive.  Venezuela is as committed to their systems as always.  They are just waiting for this US administration to run out of steam.

Thanks cronetoo .. I was looking for that.

Another comment .. I’ve been watching the channel Think BRICS now for a while since they posted pro India and anti Pepe Escobar slop. Just a caution. I’ve called them bubbly and just way too positive in the past. Well, they post utter crap, and if one deals with them, they pivot, and say they post it for ‘discussion’. But, it is only stuff gathered by the machine. In terms of BRICS kindly be cautious with these rookies.

I found you’all a free version of The Bibi Files – but watch quick.  Since Carlson advertised this, it is being hunted off the internet but then, it has been hunted off the internet since it was made.  Carlson wants you to pay for a ‘legit’ version  … Don’t think that because it is on Archive it will stay there.  It has been removed plenty times.

There was bombing in Tehran last evening but I’ve not seen what was bombed.  The Trump basket of lies today came as a total surprise to me.

Just look how very lovely!  I can feel the dreaminess and the hope!  Thanks so much for showing us Periol.

See update in war threat. Bibi – Trump .. we have two tacos running downhill.

Quote from Periol:

I confess I’m tired and a little bored of war news. Did some self-reflection, and I think we are nearly back to the way things were before the war started. Tension is building, the censors are banning the truth, AI is everywhere, and so we are left with a bunch of people who don’t really know what’s going on talking like they have something important to say.

While we wait for the next shoe to drop in whatever Risk fantasy being played out by Epstein elites all over the world, I’m going to keep it short and get some rest. Please do fill in any pieces you think I’ve missed. My research today has found little news I think is truly noteworthy to share.

Yes, there is less of a frenzy out there. This however remains the war of our times.

What my job is now in my senses, is to figure out if a) The US is going to be forced to leave West Asia? (Its not the oil, it is the money that the oil rides on). b) How much damage are we going to have to deal with worldwide when this comes to an end. c) How serious is the Trump admin to increase the scope and size of the war. See Michael Hudson’s short piece.

Early expectations, a) the US will leave, in the main and in terms of what we can see. Israel will continue fighting. They have to be deprived of their fighting options. We’re sitting with a case like Ukraine and we may be in for a slow attrition warfare for damn years.

Those that have time should take a listen to the Jiang Xueqin video that I posted yesterday. He may be a turd, or an agent, or something very bad, but his base and initial analysis is correct. His futurecast in my view is not.
