“US-Iran Showdown: War Of Asymmetries” by Drago Bosnic
https://southfront.press/us-iran-showdown-war-of-asymmetries/
“It’s pretty clear that yet another American attack on Iran is a matter of when, not if. It might occur over the weekend or perhaps after Ramadan, which ends in about a month from now. If the United States acts more tactfully, it might want to avoid attacking during Islam’s holiest month. However, if the pressure from the potential revelation of even more disturbing Epstein files continues, Washington DC might entirely drop all religious and geopolitical considerations and attack in the next few days. Either way, it’s virtually inevitable, as war, death and destruction flow in the veins of America’s pedophile-cannibalistic elites…

The Politics Of Institutionalized Predation:
“I become stronger as you become weaker, I absorb strength as yours flows into me. I become capable of this because I do not experience your pain, I don’t care about your loss, and I feel no regret about using, abusing, and devouring you.”

Interesting article

Chased by the vernal beams, already
Down the surrounding hills the snow
Has run in turbid streams that eddy
On to the flooded fields below;
Nature, not yet from sleep returning,
Greets with smile the new year’s morning.
The skies shine with a bluish sheen,
Transparent still, the woods turn green,
Lending the trees a downy cover,
The bee flies from its waxen comb,
Bringing the meadows’ tribute home.
The dales dry out and colour over.
Herds low, the hush of darkness brings
The nightingale that newly sings.

“Eugene Onegin” by Alexander Pushkin
Chapter VII Stanza 1

My hour of freedom, is it coming?
I call to it: it’s time, it’s time!
Above the sea, forever roamıng,
I beckon every sail and clime.
Mantled by storms, with waves contending,
Upon the sea’s free crossway wending,
When shall I start my freedom’s flight?
Dull shore that gives me no delight,
It’s time to leave you for the ocean,
That swells beneath a Southern sky,
And in my Africa to sigh
For sombre Russia, for the portion
Of love and suffering I incurred
And where I left my heart interred.

— “Eugene Onegin” by Alexander Pushkin

“The end of the ‘highway romantics’ era”
by Rostislav Ishchenko

“In recent weeks, the media has been full of statements from respected people from all over the world – the whole world is represented. And everyone is “suffering”: “The United States is destroying (or has already destroyed) the world order with its actions.”

“Tanker Hijacking. The Era of Political Gopniks Has Arrived.”

Exactly a year ago, I wrote a post that garnered nearly two million views. It boiled down to the idea that a long period of no-holds-barred play lies ahead, which I called “the era of political gopniks.” And the sooner we go into “berserk mode,” the fewer losses we’ll incur. Back then, I suggested that this era was dawning. Today, we can confidently say it has arrived.

What’s happening in the Atlantic is a demonstration: “We’re doing this because we can. No matter what flags we wear. What are you going to do to us?” A clear demonstration. Did you think you got away with it? We’ll get you anywhere. We’ll deploy a Boeing KC-135T Stratotanker, a US Air Force Boeing P-8A Poseidon patrol aircraft, a British Boeing Poseidon MRA1, and US Pilatus U-28A Draco special operations aircraft. We’ll catch up with a coast guard ship. Even if it’s on the other side of the ocean. UN conventions? Let the Russian Ministry of Transport talk about them.

“International law didn’t die today. It passed away along with the bombing of Belgrade and Colin Powell’s test tube. With Syria and Gaza destroyed. With Libya torn to shreds. It’s just that while this concerned “third world countries,” everyone sheepishly lowered their eyes, powdering the decrepit face of Western civilization with the “interests of the Syrian, Libyan, and Iraqi” peoples.

But the appetites of the world’s leading thugs have grown. And now they’re spreading to respectable areas where it was previously unacceptable to enter in tracksuits. And there’s no time for makeup. This isn’t just about us. Look at Greenland. Doesn’t its “return to American harbor” already seem like Trump’s whim?

How should we respond to this? International law is finally being replaced by the law of the strong. Therefore, to survive, we need to become stronger. And it’s not just about destroying Ukraine. We already have the best army in the world. We know how to talk to thugs. This skill isn’t like carrying sacks. But a kind word plus an army, economy, industry, and technology is better than just a kind word…”

I wrote these three paragraphs a year ago. Today, I’d add that a thug who feels omnipotent must be dealt with head-on, without regard for past agreements. The “Spirit of Anchorage” has been completely erased by the “Smell of Caracas.”
