The sadism of US imperialists is insane:

This far-right congresswoman from Miami, Florida, a close Trump ally, defends the use of economic terrorism against Cuba.

She admits the illegal US blockade aims to starve women and children to collapse Cuban society.

It's sociopathic. https://t.co/eau02C8jek pic.twitter.com/73b6ekVAnd

2 hours.

That’s how long the UAE President spent in India on January 19th.

Landed. Signed a defense pact. Agreed to $200 billion in trade. Locked in a $3 billion LNG deal. Left.

Five days later: UAE scrapped the Islamabad airport deal.

Yesterday: UAE President landed in Moscow to meet Putin.

Read that sequence again.

Delhi for 2 hours → Pakistan deal cancelled → Kremlin summit.

India didn’t just get chosen over Pakistan.

India became the gateway to the entire non-Western axis.

The Gulf is doing exactly what the EU and Canada did this month.

Building optionality. And the optionality runs through Delhi.

Here’s what nobody in Islamabad or Washington wants to admit:

MBZ could have gone to Delhi for a week-long state visit with ceremonies and banquets.

Instead he flew in, signed everything that mattered, and flew out.

That’s not diplomacy. That’s a transaction.

The transaction: India gets Gulf defense alignment. UAE gets a hedge against Saudi-Pakistan-Turkey. Russia gets a channel to the Gulf that bypasses Western sanctions.

And Pakistan?

Pakistan gets to watch the airport deal evaporate days after the Modi handshake.

The humiliation isn’t the cancelled deal.

The humiliation is that it only took 2 hours to replace decades of alignment.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

🔴After searching through the Jeffrey Epstein files released today, I found one of the most dangerous documents concerning the Middle East.

▪️The document is correspondence with a person named “Aziza Al-Ahmadi,” and it outlines their plan to introduce a special currency for Muslims called “Sharia,” specifically for the Middle East.

▪️Furthermore, it became clear that Jeffrey Epstein knew the identities of the founders of Bitcoin and mentioned discussing with them the creation of Sharia-compliant digital currencies.

▪️They were planning to further penetrate the Middle Eastern economy, both digitally and physically.

The two most radical ideas involve creating two new currencies. One would be called the Sharia currency, similar to the dollar, but each dollar would be printed with “We trust in God.” The Middle East could have its own Sharia law for internal use among Muslims.

Additionally, a digital currency like Bitcoin could be used to create a new Sharia-compliant digital currency. This is very exciting. I spoke with some of the Bitcoin founders, and they are very enthusiastic.

Western navies are at a checkmate and must find a way out

This article could certainly include Iran, which, along with Russia and China, is far ahead of the West in terms of Anti-ship missiles.

It doesn’t include Iran because there is a specific category that only the Chinese and Russians currently operate: ship-launched hypersonic anti-ship ballistic missiles (AShBMs).

Followed by an excerpt from the article below.

“In the early 1970s, the Soviets already fielded more than 10 different anti-ship missile models, most of them supersonic and some combat-proven in the Middle East, while the United States had none.

The Harpoon entered service only in 1977 with a range of about 120 km. The Exocet appeared later with a range under 50 km. The truly alarming part is that by then the Soviets already possessed anti-ship missiles with ranges exceeding 550 km and warheads over 500 kg.

As early as the 1960s, in the kind of high-intensity conflict envisioned during the Cold War, the West would have faced severe difficulties protecting its maritime assets because of the reach of Soviet anti-ship missiles deployed on submarines since 1959 and further developed over the following decade.

Anti-Ship Cruise missiles such as the P-5 and P-6 were particularly intimidating, already offering ranges of 400–500 km at that time.

The most striking fact is that even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the West made only limited progress in this domain.

In practical terms, today’s Western navies have little realistic chance against the range of Chinese and Russian anti-ship ballistic missiles. Hypersonic variants offer only a slim possibility of interception, even for the US Navy’s most advanced ship missile systems.”
