agree, Mr P,  it seems obvious but russia has been reticent & wary, & she’s taken considerable slings & arrows b/c she hasn’t donned a white hat & charged off in all directions to slay dragons.   so those wags wondering why now may have a point—why not syria, lebanon, gaza or 404 back in 2011, why now?

oil?  absolutely but with china’s recent discoveries, as well iran’s & russia’s latest the resistance is covered.   but…america, its reserves were in questionable shape when the eagle descended on iraq, many ‘experts’ have told us the cupboard, she’s bare.   after the dust settles it won’t be a surprise to discover america’s been selling stolen iraqi/libyan/syrian as homegrown.  canaduh’s were locked in by sun oil in 1947, with the edict it must be refined in america (no national refineries) ; a little 2 edged b/c the gulf refineries were built for it.   some venezuelan ought to work & o/c there’s a supply of really fine that simply needs exxon’s expertise.  so, absolutely, empire needs venezuelan oil, along with its minerals, gold & other resources.  if empire can lock in LAC it may have most of what it needs to be almost as powerful as it used to be, processing most of what it lusts after may be a different matter.  details.

imho i think securing trade routes are ranked by china as near or of equal importance to the oil, &, arguably also for russia, because america stretching from the arctic to antarctica divides the world in a way that isn’t conducive to harmony & fair play but sets up the globe for a king of the castle scenario.  & nobody likes dodging swill from on high.

foremost the axis agree that ensuring venezuela is not regime changed/ robbed & raped is a priority—but it’s curious that it’s a priority now.

timing is everything.  it may not be co-incidental:   2 new weapons recently announced by russia.  china finally elects to restrict delivery of rare earth minerals to america.  ukraine can’t get up, not even to its knees.  the reserve currency is drowning & america’s flying machines continue to fall overboard.

and out of the sahel surokvin sends maduro a plane load of ‘wagner’.   ‘wagner’ cheveleirs trained to measure eric prince & looking forward to giving him & his a brand new pair of i can’t think what.

perhaps it’s payback for korea, afghanistan, possibly syria…maybe gaza or a century of humiliation but i have the feeling empire really has no idea what’s about to hit it.

part of a pattern?

there is a pattern, agreed, one so ingrained after centuries of victories that it cannot be forsaken but continues as the medulaoblongata…but is it choice, a favoured plan?  undoubtedly i’m off base but when putin refers to anglo-saxons i assume he is addressing city, america being a relatively recent foe, the bar’s bouncer, no longer rich sucked nearly dry yet useful still.   that the zionazis colony’s leash has been tightened is telling.   will city sacrifice its child to win the war?  have circumstances, unexpected, caused the implementation of a different plan?  was that what russia, china, iran, yemen had intended when they installed metaphorical ancient kites to drive the ‘yanquis’ like antelope through the maze to their hidden pit?

dear amarynth,

i’ve nothing, a telepathic hug laden with hope—and gratitude!  what days!  decades in moments!   you, dear amarynth, make a difference, you & AHH are here for a reason—& we thank God for the dots you connect, the light you bring!  bless you!

i came to the african thread about to post this link—for no other reason than it struck me as gold, like AHH’s sharing K J’s rare earth observations.  a natural nuclear fission reactor is a uranium deposit where a self sustaining nuclear chain reactions occur took place  approx.  1.7 billion years!   oklo gabon is the only place where this phenomenon is known to have happened.  amazing!

africa—like no other place—is like rare earth minerals & china, iran & russia all coming all @ once.  hang on, it’s only beginning, all we have to do is hang on tight.

i won’t attempt to link this from smoothie’s site…as i’m sure most have already read it.

Megatron on X:

“A Russian aircraft, previously linked to the Wagner Group & currently known to transport UAE mercenaries around Africa, arrives in Venezuela.”

1. ??? UAE mercenaries are transported by Russian aircraft around Africa?
2. russia is delivering these mercenaries…trained by? the russian general (blocking his name, darn & damn) or is russia simply uae headchoppers paid to trip up agent orange’s mossad trained headchoppers in the sahel & congo now going to venezuela to impersonate viet cong.
3. help! please! & thank you.
