iran’s choices:  hit the bases or close the strait of hormuz?

hitting the bases results in troops severely concussed or worse carnage, but it will be a departure from the high ground which patience & wisdom have secured, & may be a high price for a civilizational state, even if justified.

hormuz will effect the same result, there will be blood, but it won’t be in the bases, it will be flowing down wall street, the beltway, all the way from the caymans to tokyo, to city, its banks will run red, enough to colour the 2 beautiful seas that once kept america safe.

apologies:  i haven’t a cell phone thus no telegram.  ben norton & skeptic have both emailed as much, including orange’s vulgar boasting…i’m sure others will provide bigger & better, the best i can do is PressTv.

pepe postulates that if empire is stymied by iran (which is imo a certainty), that it will shift its attention to taiwan, as quickly as it shifted from 404 to iran.

i suggest pakistan will be next:

1. pakistan is already compromised.  pakistan’s 5th column is greater than russia’s was in the 90s.  further, china has has already gamed taiwan, taiwan’s fate is sealed, its billionaire class & companies (esp. after huawai’s race to secure its dominance) see their future in china & having been preparing to leave empire’s sinking ship, an unhappy wife duplicitously emptying accounts while preparing a favourite dinner.   our panda will simply reach across the water & secure taiwan to its bosom w/o flap.
2.  pakistan will be <span style=”font-size: 16px;”>empire’s (nato’s!) first live streamed confrontation with a nuclear power (rather than through a proxy).     pakistan is a direct pathway to both russia & china…bonus modi will wholeheartedly leap off the fence, for india it is ‘existential’.</span>

^^totally agree.  he’s rude, emulating some obnoxious bbc host of hard talk; a blood fest aired to demonstrate the power of double speak & the consequence of reasoning beyond the pale.  his interview with pepe was maddening & pepe, professional, polite to the point of pain was visibly frustrated, b/c what he had to say was important!  time was short & he had much to pack in.  i swore off him after that but for maria will squirm through, praying he’s replaced by the moats.
