🔸Forwarded from Colonelcassad:
Danish shipping company Maersk has again refused to send ships through the Red Sea and is rerouting them through other routes. This is despite the deployment of US and NATO ships that have promised to protect shipping in the Red Sea from the Houthis. Just a few successful hits from drones and missiles were enough for, despite all the threatening statements of the United States and ultimatums to the Houthis, money-conscious shipowners decided not to take risks, ignoring Washington’s assurances.

Thus, the Houthis demonstrated that their words and threats are more significant and that they are not afraid of the United States.
Now it’s up to the United States to silently pass by, pretending that everything is fine, or to launch strikes on Yemen without any obvious strategic benefit, since these strikes will not stop attacks on ships in the Red Sea, especially since Yemen has been bombed since 2015 and somehow this did not bring victory over the Houthis.

So far, the Houthis have said that any country that assists the US in the Red Sea will endanger its ships passing through the Red Sea because they will be considered legitimate targets for Houthi attacks.

How the United States is managing the agenda on the topic of the terrorist attack in Iran on the anniversary of the death of IRGC General (elite units of the Iranian Armed Forces) Qassem Soleimani. There, as a result of two explosions, 84 people were killed and another 284 were injured:
🇺🇸The State Department said that the United States has nothing to do with the terrorist attack in Iran (c)
🇺🇸The US believes that the explosions in Iran look like an ISIS terrorist attack (c) White House
🇺🇸ISIS claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack in Iran (c) Reuters.
One, two, three – the case is solved. The US says it is not to blame. Then the culprit is named. And the culprit confesses. Very comfortably.

If you don’t know a couple of things:
The terrorist group ISIS was created by the United States in its own concentration camps (in particular, at Camp Bucca). All ISIS leaders passed through American camps. The US has armed ISIS with a huge arsenal. Afterwards they refused to carry out a ground operation against ISIS and even tried to organize the terrorist group its own state on the territory of Iraq (mainly oil fields).

ISIS, like other terrorist groups, is a purely American instrument of the power redistribution of the world. No wonder Senator McCain officially met with them, for which he later clumsily made excuses (they were moderate terrorists and I didn’t know them at all, moo, oink).

This is the secret of the rapid disclosure by the United States of a terrorist attack in Iran. In theory, they could force Ukraine to confess to him, and any other puppet of theirs.

🇮🇱The Israeli Foreign Ministry has instructed embassies to put pressure on diplomats and politicians in host countries to make statements against South Africa’s trial at the International Court of Justice on charges of genocide in the Gaza Strip. Israel wants the court to reject the request for an injunction, refrain from declaring Tel Aviv’s actions in the Gaza Strip to be genocide and recognize that the Israeli military operates in the region in accordance with international law.

Something new in international lawmaking – “Genocide under international law.” At the same time, we will clearly see from these speeches against South Africa exactly which politicians Israel is sending money to.

🚀The WSJ: Russia plans to purchase Iranian short-range missiles
According to the newspaper, new missiles could be delivered to Moscow in the spring, which will further expand the capabilities of the Russian Armed Forces to attack Ukrainian infrastructure. The Biden administration is “deeply concerned” about the situation.
🔴At the same time, the White House announced an attack on Ukraine with missiles produced by the DPRK, also transferred to Russia. Washington announced that it plans to introduce new sanctions aimed at military-technical cooperation between Russia, Iran and North Korea – however, it is still unclear how the United States intends to scare countries that have already become “rogues” for the Western world and are building their own economic bloc.
The purchase of Iranian missiles, if it really takes place, may indicate the plans of the Russian Armed Forces to carry out a large-scale offensive in the spring and summer: just when the cold weather passes, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, although they will carry out mobilization, will not have time to fully deploy their forces. And the Ukronazis, in addition, will be demoralized by winter attacks on military and energy infrastructure

🔸Washington Post erases Israeli minister’s farfetched October 7 rape claim at his request
https://thegrayzone.com/2024/01/03/washington-post-erases-israels-request/
The Washington Post has quietly removed an outlandish claim by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant that Hamas battle plans included specific instructions on which Israeli troops should be raped during their October 7 incursion.
In the original article, which was published on November 12 and promoted as a Washington Post “exclusive,” Gallant is quoted as telling the outlet: “We know from interrogations that Hamas came in with detailed plans of their attack, including which commander should rape which soldiers in different places.”
A day later, the allegation disappeared from the piece, which had been amended to include the following “correction”:
“A previous version of this article included a quote from Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant that was not authorized for publication

IMO, the Resistance has already taken a measure of the sea lanes of communication (SLOC), protected by the overlord of the collective West. Perhaps, it is now the right time for the Resistance to closely examine the so-called air superiority of the ‘demented West’ 🤔

▪️Who Is The Axis Of Resistance?
Views from the third world. Earth.
https://indi.ca/who-is-the-axis-of-resistance/
by Indrajit Samarajiva
“In this brief and inadequate introduction, I’ll try to outline the main ‘Axis Of Resistance’, from Hamas in Palestine to Hezbollah in Lebanon to Ansar Allah in Yemen and so on. There’s a lot going on, and I hope this provides some context. Once we know the actors, we can get to the action…

“…Most borders in the Muslim world are divide-and-conquer lines drawn by the British, and they serve the same purpose under American rule. Hezbollah operates above and beyond such lines, and with a very singular focus. Hezbollah is not a governing party in Lebanon or anything like that. As Nasrallah says, “The long-term strategy of the Islamic Resistance is clear and does not require additional explanation. It involves fighting against Israel and liberating Jerusalem, as well as Imam Khomeini’s proposal — namely, ending Israel as a state.” Hezbollah is just a Resistance organization and their priority for decades has just been attacking Israel.
The western perspective on organizations like Hezbollah is that they are destabilizing the region, which is precisely the opposite of what’s happening. They are the region! The destabilizing presence is the carbon crusaders invading and colonizing the place. The real question is WTF the West is doing in the Middle East at all, with Israel as its ‘unsinkable aircraft carrier’. As Nasrallah has said, “the resistance is linked to the occupation. As long as there is occupation, there is resistance.” And so the Resistance from Hezbollah goes on…
