DJ, The NetherLands-NL were neutral between 1815 and may 1940...the German invasion ended Dutch neutrality.
NL-in between the UK, France and Germany-had very good reasons to stay out of (others) conflicts;
-The NL had their own conflicts (Belgium 1830/39 getting out of NL, Dutch East Indies colonial wars).
-Rotterdam-port did "bloom" during World War One...lots of indirect international trade went via "neutral NL"...
-"We"-the Dutch- have had enough wars before 1795-French/Napoleon invasion...Wars with stronger neighbours...It may have been in NL interest to see the UK-France-and Germany/Prusia being in a sort of conflict with each other...
-Napoleon did see NL as the "residue of French rivers", the German kaiser did see NL as being "German in denial"....Both Germany and France did take small portions of NL but would NOT allow the other to get to much...The UK wanted a "balance of power in Europe"...

Neutral countries can build bridges. Can help "partners in conflict with eachother" to find a way out...
For that matter Switzerland, Austria now do have a major role to play. It is very welcome also the Vatican does see a role...
In lots of conflicts finding an "exit strategy" is a major problem.
In my view the major conflict now is BRICS+ ending 500 years of western domination.
----------------
A main reason why "the west" could "rule the world" was military superiority. That is now over...
Russia intervened in Syria to keep its ally Assad in power. It moved into Ukraine to stop NATO expanding further east-with US (nuclear) weapons/bases close to Russia.
The western idea was it would be "easy/doable" to control Russia via both sanctions and military action. Even to the surprise of Russia this turned out to be incorrect.
In 2014 the EU went for sanctions against Russia. Russia did increase production of sanctioned goods themselves and import from non-EU countries like Türkiye, India, China.
After the start of the Russian "Special Military Operation/SMO" in 2022 the "west" went "full sanctions" against Russia....only to find out Russia itself is "to big to sanction" and Russia could do deals with other countries also under western sanctions...
So...the west may have learned "peak sanctions" do exist.

The US led "west"-10% of the global population, finds itself increasingly in conflicts with the 90% "global rest"-more and more organizing in BRICS+ .
After the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 the US did see itself as "the only superpower" and went for an "uni-polar world"...US making the rules...Of course western-Russian conflicts go back further in time...
Russia has three allies; seize, time and winter...Even in 1917 -with Russia accepting a peace deal with the "Central powers" (Germany) in World War One, followed by western intervention in the revolutionary war till 1923, Russia simply turned out to be too big a country to fully control.
So-based on history-the NATO-west would be wise to seek some sort of agreement with Russia/BRICS+...NOT conflict.
To put things very simple-I love that-"the west" has been fighting the Vikings/Russians for over a 1,000 years...

In "western history" may 29 1453 the East(ern) Roman Empire with "Turks/Ottomans" taking over Constantinopel...Another way of looking at it may be Ottomans did continue the East Roman Empire under Ottoman/Turkish rule untill World War One.
South East Europe/the Balkans were part of that Ottoman Empire but also North Africa, Middle East.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora may underline the difficulty of definition of "a nation" or "a people"....
Are the Dutch Germans denying to be German ? Are Ukrainians in fact Russian speaking a dialect ? A "Jewish" identity can be seen as religious. Based on that religion children born from a Jewish mother are also Jewish.
Antisemitism is very old. It has very strong links with christianity intolerance. "The Jews killed Jesus"-pseudo religion...
During World War One Ottoman Empire/Türkiye was a German ally. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balfour_Declaration In 1917 the UK showed support for a ; "national home for the Jewish people" in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_%28region%29 - Palestine
DJ, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism ; is an ethnic or ethno-cultural https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalism - nationalist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-Conforti_2024-1 - [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite_note-4 - [fn 1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_movement - movement that emerged in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Europe#From_revolution_to_imperialism_%281789%E2%80%931914%29 - Europe in the late 19th century and aimed for the establishment of a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeland_for_the_Jewish_people - homeland for the Jewish people through the colonization of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestine_%28region%29 - Palestine
So the idea of a "Jewish State" goes back to before the nazi mass murder of Jews during the holocaust.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusades - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusades or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusades The west fighting Islam -creating a "christian west Asia" between 1100 and 1300 did see conflict in the area some extremists now want to claim for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Israel - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Israel or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Israel .

DJ, In the above posts I wanted to underline present conflicts in Ukraine/Middle East have roots going back over more then a 1.000 years...One can claim the "Irish" conflict, Scotland seeking independence goes back to the invasion of Anglo-Saxon(and Frisians) of Britannia when the West(ern) Roman Empire ended...
In history wars and pandemics did "mix very well". A lot of massive pandemics did see a reason for becoming a pandemic in wars...
So-since we do not want to learn a thing from history-go for a 2 dimensional world- ("here" and "now" stupidity) we "refresh" old conflicts in new wars !
CoViD is not over-getting 5 years old....Flu is around the corner, with lots of other diseases using lack of immunity as a result of over 4 billion people getting CoViD at least once...
We are wasting trillions of $/£/€ in crazy wars...money needed for health care...But we are defunding healthcare and science...

In a "hybrid war" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_warfare - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_warfare or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_warfare
-The US attacked a beach in Crimea killing Russian children on a beach....(and claiming the ATACMS were in Ukraine so Ukraine did it...)

-A fire in a Moscow office -western claims it was used for defense research...

Crimea attack, one step closer to US-Russia war
DJ, Shooting down US/NATO drones over the Black Sea used to direct NATO weapons from Ukraine soil to Russian targets may see manned NATO planes in the same role...
A Russian "no fly zone" over the Black Sea could result in NATO going for a no fly zone over Ukraine....

DJ, If the western wars-via UKraine and USrael- against BRICS+ members Russia and Iran-had the goal of limiting BRICS+/saving the US$ then this war is a total failure !
Again...how to get out of this conflict ?

DJ, Russia may have stopped an Israeli F35 nuclear-EMP attack on Iran (https://x.com/realpepeescobar) .
In the escalating conflict -in fact with Iran- "USrael" may go nuclear on Hezbollah in the south of Lebanon. Hezbollah could go for chemical industry (ammonia a.o.) in USrael...

So...it can get a lot worse ! Even without becoming a nuclear "World War Three" (or if you include 1618-1648, 1795-1815 global wars-World War Five)...we may see a lot of escalations...
In UKraine daily UKraine "fighters" (untrained -so NOT a soldier !) killed/badly wounded may be over 2,000. USrael is killing hundreds of Palestinians per day in Gaza/West bank...
Both wars are NATO proxy wars...with NATO losing both...
---------
How to get out of it ?
US "POTUS" Obama did see Russia had "escalation dominance" in UKraine...VPOTUS-joe biden-however went for family investments in UKraine, Afghanistan...in many ways Europe is in a US (made) war...
The US most likely did blow up the Nordstream German-Russian pipelines...so the EU had to buy US energy...Weakening the EU-getting the US stronger...(was the idea).
Europe-the EU-has to BREAK with the US !
European interests and US (UK) interests no longer are the same...
zelenski/netanyahu stay in power because of US support...Europe ends up paying a very high price for keeping the US #1/saving the US$....
Russia is NOT against Ukraine joining the EU...however for now Ukraine is bankrupt...another burden for the EU...The US is pushing the EU to "start talks" with UKraine...further destroying Europe...
Who needs an enemy if "the US is your friend" ? (Or in kissingers words;
“It may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal.”
)
Russia GDP-PPP now did become larger than that of both Germany and Japan...
(GDP-PPP 2024 World Bank; #1-China, #2-US, #3-India, #4-Russia, #5-Japan...The "RIC" of B-RIC-S+ is in the top 5 of GDP-PPP).
The Dutch -via Nieuw Nederland/Nieuw Amsterdam- may have played a major role in US "Yankee" (my view "Janneke" -British nickname for the Dutch living in US colony before 1776 US)history.
But we have to get out of these escalations of over a 1.000 year old conflicts !

DJ, biden lost his debate with trump...both old criminals may be out of much public support...still western main stream media represents it as a "top act of democracy"....
In the UK the uni-party freakshow is the same kind of political disaster....
Most western citizens are AGAINST wars with Russia-Iran-China..."politicians-for-sale" push for more conflict (and profits for shareholders in the war industry).
MS mentioned "new recruits" picked up in UKraine to fight for zelenski/NATO try to surrender as fast as possible. They provide Russia with the best info they have to end the UKraine bloodbath...Daily UKraine fighters killed may be above 2,000....
The "nazi-NATO" is getting more Dutch "leadership";
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Bauer - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Bauer or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Bauer ; Admiral Robert Peter Bauer (born 11 November 1962) of the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Netherlands_Navy - Royal Netherlands Navy has been serving as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chair_of_the_NATO_Military_Committee - Chair of the NATO Military Committee since June 2021, succeeding Air Chief Marshal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Peach - Sir Stuart Peach of the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom.
and NATO secretary general https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Rutte - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Rutte or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Rutte ;Rutte will take up the post of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NATO_Secretary-General - NATO Secretary-General in October 2024.
DJ-my view; The Dutch still play a major role in "global politics". The historic US-UK-NL "powerblock" may still exist. (And I do not know if that is good or bad...)
USrael may have already seen very high losses in its military. (Over 70,000 wounded/killed ????) So the USrael military may not be happy with the idea of a war with Lebanon-and very likely Syria...Again; https://southfront.press/israeli-threat-to-syria-grows-quietly/ - https://southfront.press/israeli-threat-to-syria-grows-quietly/ or https://southfront.press/israeli-threat-to-syria-grows-quietly/ ;In response to this apparent threat, a joint Russian-Syrian exercise to practice defending the Arab country’s “territorial integrity” began on June 5.
DJ; USrael-NATO proxy would have to commit suicide to fight Russia and Iran in West Asia. "Tactical nuclear weapons-battlefield use" could be used by USrael...of course both Iran and Russia will react.
USrael did send some fighter aircraft (and navy) ????? to Cyprus (UK bases ???). So in an all out war also Cyprus may be pulled in the war...(with "Greek" and "Turkish" Cyprus conflict also worsening ?).
In Sudan US backed "rebels" fight Russia backed government forces creating a famine under extreme heat 50C+....
Lots of diseases may be spreading in and from Africa...but we do not test so "we do not know".....
Somehow it is no problem (for NATO) to drop bombs all around the globe within 24 hrs...Getting aid to those places is "impossible"....
We have to change priorities ! NATO can be a force of peace, providing aid to where it is needed. The present "nazi" NATO is supporting genocide ! We have to do better !
Here in NL again legal steps to stop sending spare parts for F35-fighter jets to USrael. The court ordered NL government to stop that export...so NL is now exporting it to a US base...so the US is exporting NL made spareparts used by USrael to mass murder Palestinians...

Russia Approves Long-pending Military Pact with India | Vantage on Firstpost
Russia has approved a long-pending military pact with India that covers sharing of military facilities and logistics. India has also signed similar deals with the United States, France and some Southeast Asian countries. How will this military pact improve India-Russia cooperation? How will the West react to it? Alyson le Grange tells you.
DJ (Alyson le Grange is from South Africa I think...) India Army using 85% of weapons with Russian origen....Russia and India will allow more military usage of eachothers (air)ports...So more Russia activity in the Indian Ocean...India may get "more room" in the Russian Arctic...

DJ...UKraine is a bankrupt proxy state run by neo-nazi's....Including UKraine in the EU is blowing up the EU....
The "new" EU leadership; vonderlügen still leading the EU to destruction by now makes me anti-EU....This is NOT the EU most Europeans need....Expanding the EU with Moldova, Georgia, UKraine is madness....
In times of pandemics and climate collapse we do need international cooperation...This EU is a war-promotion-team....
BRICS+ may have serious divisions-mainly between India and China...however both countries do see the need to work together...India-China trade is growing -in the interests of both India and China.
India is a major partner of Iran. So-with India trying to "find a balance with the west" India main partners -Iran and Russia- are in a war with the west...
DJ-We are NOT in an "open" World War Three (or World War five, six...whatever...) but every day we are getting closer to it...
Mpox, lots of flu-types, CoViD etc. is NOT under control...ALL have pandemic potential-if not already a pandemic....AGAIN !!! We need international cooperation both on pandemics and the underlying-major reason for pandemics-climate collapse !

DJ, The big question at present is when biden will step down....Will "democrats-for-sale" still keep supporting this demented old man for "four more years" ? Do those "democrats" want to see trump win ?
UKraine is collapsing...USrael/netanyahu may want "more war" but only if the US/NATO is going to fight that war...An USrael invasion of Lebanon could start a war with Syria, Iraq, Iran even maybe Türkiye, Egypt...
The "pinochet-style" coup in Bolivia proved to be another US foreign disaster....Further pushing away Latin America/rest of the world from a US "led" "west"...
Military Summary mentioned North Korean forces soon may show up in UKraine...dependent on elections also Iran forces could show up...US/NATO drones over the Black Sea guiding "UKraine/NATO" attacks will be brought down....
DJ-Will Russia use "A-Sat" Anti Satellite weapons to stop NATO satellites - bringing this NATO-BRICS war into space ?
The German vice-PM was NOT welcomed by high Chinese officials...Germany pushing for -also- a trade war with China; further undermining the German economy...I do not get it why the "liberals" keep supporting this SDP/"green" coalition...Maybe in new elections they simply may get kicked out...stay under the 5% voter treshold....
In the UK sunak may see his conservative party destroyed in july 4 elections...Macron in France has "no chance" in the upcoming elections....
Still vonderlügen will go on destroying the EU, mark rutte will destroy NATO....
The biggest risk is in desperation...zelenski attacking nuclear power plants, netanyahu going nuclear against any of its neighbours...a lot of them untill recent willing to "live with Israël"...Gaza destroyed that...
The more insanity from an isolated west the more the "rest" is sticking together...The "west" is crumbling apart...
DJ-I think there may be a lot of "western leaders" telling the US to get a president...Get rid of biden...
With both climate and pandemic problems getting worse the "west" is without leaders...only followers...

The DNC Campaign To Oust Biden Has Failed
Yesterday's assault by the Democratic National Council on the Joe Biden campaign has failed.
Thursday night, as soon as the Trump-Biden debate had started, anonymous DNC officials contacted their usual 'liberal media' contacts and denounced Biden's performance. Even those media, like CNN and MSNBC, who have for years denied the obvious problems Biden has had, jumped onto the train. Biden, they said, should retreat.
The New York Times mobilized a slew of its opinion writers to convey the message:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/28/opinion/biden-election-debate-trump.html - To Serve His Country, President Biden Should Leave the Race (Editorial)
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/28/opinion/joe-biden-tom-friedman.html - Joe Biden Is a Good Man and a Good President. He Must Bow Out of the Race. (Friedman)
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/28/opinion/presidential-debate-winner-loser.html - - ‘Is It Too Late?’ Four Writers on What Democrats Should Do About Biden.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/28/opinion/kamala-harris-biden-debate.html - - After That Debate, the Risk of Biden Is Clear
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/28/opinion/presidential-debate-biden-trump.html - But Joe Biden's wife, Dr. Jill Biden, https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/28/us/politics/jill-biden-says-she-reassured-the-president-in-the-moments-after-a-dismal-debate.html - resisted the move:
President Biden knew immediately after stepping off the stage in Atlanta on Thursday night that the debate had gone wrong. In those first stricken moments after a raspy, rambling and at times incoherent performance, he turned to his wife, Jill Biden. ... The first lady’s message to him was clear: They’d been counted out before, she was all in, and he — they — would stay in the race. Her thinking, according to people close to her, was that it was a bad night. And bad nights end. ... So Dr. Biden spent the 24 hours after the debate putting her decades as a political spouse to the test, projecting confidence and normalcy while effusively praising her husband.
Pushed along by his wife Joe Biden did not step back. The DNC assault on his campaign had failed.
Late last night former President Barack Obama, likely the man behind the 'oust Biden' campaign, publicly through the towel.

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. http://joebiden.com
Gleen Greenwald commented on Obama's intervention:

Once the media starts to realize that they're not going to get Biden out of the race, they're all going to quickly retreat from the past 24 hours and get back on board.
Obama is directing them to do that and giving them the script to use:
The campaign to oust Biden has failed, but the damage is done.
Even pro-Biden voters will, from now on, watch diligently to find the flaws in the next Biden speech or debate.
It will be hard to rebury that issue.

Thursday night's presidential debate mortally wounded President Biden's political career, and now the New York Times has hammered a significant nail in the coffin -- publishing an editorial bluntly declaring that "the greatest public service Mr. Biden can now perform is to announce that he will not continue to run for re-election."
With this development, Biden's departure from November ballots is taking on an air of inevitability. At the same time, Team Trump is reckoning with what may have been a strategic error -- enabling a premature kill shot that could leave Trump facing a worse matchup.
Very likely trump would love to see biden run for elections....
Both the UKraine and USrael wars against BRICS+ depend on US/biden support...
Claiming in public support for biden may hide by now almost all support for biden is gone...The US is in a deep crisis....
Again-a risk may be netanyahu, zelinsky trying to force their own agenda...expecting the US to follow their escalation...
Another risk is "biden trying to show strength"....and escalating beyond a point of return....
And then there are "wild cards"; Korea conflict, Kashmir (India-Pakistan AND China) or another coup...maybe resulting in a new civil war...
With UK (july 4) and French elections (june 30-july 7) both parliament...the "picture is changing"...

FAB-3000 is breaking the Ukraine military
DJ; (shorter video-22 minutes0
The Duran discussing a.o.
-North Korean forces into UKraine ?
-"trump peace plan"...
Both may be "fake news"....Military Summary mentioned both...I try to "balance" it...
-In the US elections "trump will end wars" is trump propaganda...When trump was president he may not have started new wars...but also did not end old ones...Moved even closer to USrael...
It is the "circles around the president" that matter...The US war industry needs wars for profits...A US rich elite is in fact in power...
Some critics claim the US is NOT a democracy...Every US$ counts NOT every US vote...
Besides that-the US is out of position to decide on UKraine or USrael...BRICS+ did take that position. The "west" (US-led) has positioned itself on the margin...
Early 2022 "the west" still could claim to have some sort of "power position"...But NATO failed AGAIN in UKraine like they failed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen etc.
I most of all blame biden for weakening the west...The UKraine war could and should have been avoided !
Then-2008-US ambassador in Moscow, now head of CIA, did warn Russia would NOT accept UKraine into NATO/US bases in UKraine...
Obama warned Russia had "escalation dominance" in UKraine...
So why repeat the mistakes NApoleon, nazi's made ? NAto finds itself now in a losing war with Russia...BRICS+ (extra) defunding the west...
US wars are paid by US debts...not only China but also countries like Japan, Belgium etc. are dumping US debts...pushing up US interest rates...But even high interest rates will not do the job if the west simply steals foreign assets...
Stealing Russian money in the west (like stealing Venezuela, Afghan etc. reserves) means countries simply do NOT put ANY money/value under west9ern) control...
UKraine, USrael only can fight their proxy wars against BRICS+ members Russia and Iran if "the west" is sending money/weapons...
The wars by now did cost TRILLIONS !!!...Voters have had enough of it !
So in the UK, France elections this week will change the situation...In the US biden has run out of support...He will NOT run for the US democrats in US november elections ! (My view)...
-
The "news" of North Korea sending grenades, engineers comes from the US (via South Korea).
In part it was meant to "claim" Russia is weak...But that is one way of "positioning info"...
North Korea "Kim" wants to get out of isolation...If Russia can get "war stuff" at a low cost (food !) then Russia may be willing to make deals with "NK"...
Russia-China (in Vladivostok talks) were trying to get a reunited Korea...The US -in confrontation with China- did send more "military" to Japan, South Korea, Taiwan...
So Putin visiting North Korea in part is in reaction to US "activity"...
Do Putin and Xi discuss international issues ? Of course !
BRICS+ enlargement/integration is "high" on the agenda !
From Serbia, Belarus to North Korea all play a role in EurAsian integration...
BRICS+ would "love" to restart trade with the west...Not because of "western sanctions"...Those sanctions in many ways did become a blessing...
Trade is in the (national) interests of countries like India, China, Iran...For North Korea/kim...IF Russia is willing to make any kind of deal with him/NK that already is a victory...
Russia state owned/controlled war industry is "strategic" and running 24/7 without being much of a burden for the rest of Russia...Limiting Russian soldiers killed/wounded is a major goal.
Still very likely the UKraine war did see tens of thousends Russian soldiers killed...
The only way Russia/Putin can continue the war(s) is offering perspectives;
-Russia economy is growing
-Russia winning wars...
-Russia becoming (again) an important international player...
If North Korea, Iran, Syria would be willing to send extra help it may lighten the burden and also have propaganda value...A.o. Cuba would have had "volunteers" in UKraine...
DJ-Since the CIA imported IS-Uyghur fighters very likely in "intel" China may have some people in UKraine...Very likely UKraine neo-nazi's did not like the IS-fighters...so they may have been airlifted back to Syria (by NATO)...
Again...the "main front" in the NATO-BRICS+ war is economy...High inflation/spending cuts means voters vote for change in the west...

Ukrainians Are Losing Tanks In ECHELONS | The Defense Of Pokrovsk Collapsed. MS 2024.06.30
DJ, From minute 19;
-UKraine frontline western weapons got locked in...bridges to the west blown up by Russian strikes. So western provided weapons...hundreds of them...left behind or destroyed...
-UKraine now transporting by rail strategic reserves from west UKraine...UKraine trainsystem using the old Russian/Soviet rail width...so west European trains can not use UKraine rails...Most of UKraine rails was electric...but electric grid is destroyed...90% of capacity is gone...
-Russia now destroying western train loads of tanks, weapons...
-UKraine seems to be that desperate; if 40-50% of weapons reach frontlines they will run the risk...
In the recent past UKraine accepted 70% losses in "offensives"...So 7 out of 10 fighters getting killed to get some (often PR) "win"...
-If possible UKraine still shelling/bombing civilian Russian targets...further wasting western-limited-supplies...
DJ-The US did stop patriot-air defense on route to USrael to be send to UKraine...Russia now shooting down patriot missiles...
UKraine "new fighters" may be "very young" or 60+ ....often refusing to go on (suicide) offensives...
------------
UKraine in a military sense is now collapsing...Even if "the west" would send "boots on the ground" it may not change the outcome...
Money meant to build defensive lines was "gone" because of corruption...Very likely quite a lot of western weapons also went on the criminal market...
So the war that can not fail is failing....
-----------
Russia very likely is NOT interested in taking over ALL of UKraine...Russian background civilians live in the south and east...Also economic value (mining, industry, ports) in those regions...
So Odessa, Charkow will become Russian...just like most of the south and east of UKraine by now is already under Russian "Novo Rossia/New Russia" control...
My view; Poland, Hungary, Romania may have been in contact over their gains in the region...Some parts of western UKraine may be returned to Poland-restoring a 1939 border...Hungary may get a small part east of their border...Moldova (and Snake-Island) return to Romania ?
In return those countries may "need to change policies"...
DJ-The EU promissed a lot to get eastern Europe into the EU...However it did not deliver that much...and the price is getting to high...
Baltic States have the Baltic Sea-Finland link...However the Balkan are Slavic people-in many ways more linked with Russian/Slavic/Orthodox culture...
NATO again is losing major wars...western economies are collapsing...So why should SE Europe stick to "the west/EU/NATO ?
DJ-Is BRICS+ working on its own deal for SE Europe ? Discussing what to do with (parts of) UKraine, Moldova...with Serbia, Hungary...maybe even Romania, Poland, Greece ????
-For SE Europe the USrael conflict is near their borders...Escalation may see Cyprus, maybe even Türkiye involved.
The refugee crisis is an outcome of NATO wars...
IF (!!!!) Türkiye "distances" itself even more from NATO (maybe a NATO member in name only...) it will influence the south of Europe...Even Italy, France...Spain may "move"...

DJ, Russia forming a "military cooperation" (outside the CSTO?). The Putin visit to North Korea, Vietnam may be linked to it...

Very likely both;
Russia
China will be members...
Vietnam ?
North Korea
Belarus
Serbia
Cuba
Nicaragua
Venezuela
In Africa Egypt ? South Africa ? Angola ?

Il-76: The Ultimate Carrier for FAB-3000 and FAB-9000 Bombs
DJ, The Flying Aerial Bomb-3000 has 3000 kilo explosives...An explosion may leave a 15 meter deep crater...blow away an area up to 500 meter radius...An IL-76 may carry up to 24 of that kind of bombs..
see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAB-9000 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAB-9000 or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAB-9000 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAB-5000 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAB-5000 or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAB-5000
The basic idea goes back to World War Two-1942...In the video the claim is these FAB-bombs replace tactical nuclear weapons (for battlefield use). A plane can drop these kinds of bombs up to 80kilometer/50 miles from the target-so airdefense may not be effective against the aircraft...
Air defense may be used against these FAB-bombs...but a massive launch would overwhelm most air defense (certainly in combination with drones).
Russia may be spreading these kind of weapons to "shared enemies of the west"...Via Iran Yemen Houthi's now have hypersonic missiles...the US itself does not yet have hypersonic missiles (at least that is what I make of it...).
These kinds of weapons change the NATO proxy wars by UKraine, USrael...
JN asked Alaster Crooke if "the west" understands the changes in global finance-made by BRICS+...(one idea on its way may be a "grain/food OPEC")...I think AC is correct...The "west" is blind...
So a "new cold war"close to a hot war-is consuming trillions...Climate disasters claim trillions...Pandemics cost trillions...and there is only a limited amount of money to be created...

Biden debate debacle
DJ, the position of biden is getting impossible...
In France anti-war politics did win. In the UK sunak has to go...(july 4 elections)...In Germany also the pro-war politics is dealing with lots of opposition...
https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/07/inflation-rose-to-3-2-in-june-highest-level-since-january/ - https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/07/inflation-rose-to-3-2-in-june-highest-level-since-january/ or https://www.dutchnews.nl/2024/07/inflation-rose-to-3-2-in-june-highest-level-since-january/ ;
Inflation in the Netherlands increased to 3.2% in June, mainly due to rising food prices, according to preliminary figures by statistics agency CBS.
The uptick followed two months in which inflation stood at 2.7%. Service and energy costs also rose, continuing the upward trend in May. The last time it stood at 3.2% was in January.
The cost of industrial goods excluding fuel fell by 0.5%, less than the 1.8% year-on-year drop recorded in the previous month.
DJ, Bad weather=bad food prices...Wars=high energy costs (even if they are not further increasing...).
People now face the costs of NATO agression...So they stop supporting NATO proxy mass murders by USrael, UKraine...US, UK, NATO...
Also the "phantasy" of UKraine-very bankrupt/corrupt-joining the EU is "shocking"...

DJ, my view;
The NATO-west has lost its wars against BRICS+....In PR they have find ways to "give it a twist". Elections, replacing biden are part of the "twist"....
So "we" are supposed to blame sunak, macron, biden..."new leaders" will do better !
Of course if you do not change the underlying problems the symptoms will not change...
There are limits to debts, to "man power", even to energy, food/fertiliser...
The outcome of western sanctions overuse is all those countries dealing with western sanctions stick together...Create their own international trade system, including payment outside the US$...
US/NATO may be able to send limited new weapons to its proxies USrael, UKraine but -slowly- even present western idiot-leaders do get the point it will make matters only worse...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-Jw5D9SR2k - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-Jw5D9SR2k or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-Jw5D9SR2k Lena Petrova-LP/USA;
16,000 Sanctions FAILED: World Bank UPGRADES Russia's Economy, Indicates Income Growth
DJ, So Europe stopped buying energy directly from Russia ? They did learn fast enough other countries would buy that energy...So "the shock" of the energy sanction -for Russia- was very limited...The back lash for Europe was much harder...
The US only could offer limited alternatives in LNG...at a much higher price. EU stored gas in Western Ukraine...Russia blew that mega-storage to pieces...
At the end EU/Europe is buying Russian energy -in finished products (diesel etc) from India, Türkiye even China...also at a higher-direct- cost.
The indirect costs are buying finished products-so refinaries in the west may be of limited use...Sanctions made BRICS+ only stronger...
Stealing Russian (Venezuela, Afghan etc.) reserves in the west resulted in BRICS+ looking at ways how to use/freeze western reserves under their control + pulling back reserves under western control...
Confrontation-insanity, started by crazy joe biden, destroyed the west !
You can invade smaller countries...Libya, Iraq, Grenada, Panama...Obama did warn Russia had escalation dominance in UKraine...
The goals were saving the US$ for global trade-so the US could continue creating debts-with others paying for it (by buying US bonds, US$ for international trade).
Saving western domination over the globe-like we had the last 500 years....BRICS+ now is-more or less-in control over global energy, food trade and an alternative financial system/banking...
My (DJ) reason to claim the west has lost its wars with BRICS+ is -by now- major western companies start accepting the "west" has to give up ideas of regaining western dominance...
Big companies, finance behind it, may decide it is time to switch policies...It was not their idea to go for full confrontation...
So next will be damage control...BRICS+ companies may buy themselves in in western companies...(Car-maker Volvo is Swedish in name-owned by China...Swedish IKEA in Russia was sold to an Indian company..).
It is NOT in the interest of BRICS+ to destroy the west/the US$ or the Euro/€...they rather do trade with the west...
So-to allow myself some optimism-western political changes may bring a restart of global trade...Most of the public may not even know/notice the major changes 'at the top"...
The alternative is to create more debts, de-militarize NATO or/and go nuclear...suicide...

Russia also contacted Saudi Arabia on hypersonic missiles for Yemen-Houthi's...They will use those weapons against western shipping in the West Indian Ocean-Red Sea and eastern Mediterranean Sea...Also a.o. Eilat was hit...
USrael killed a hezbollah leader...Hezbollah reacted by over 200 missiles/drones against USrael targets... https://southfront.press/two-israeli-soldiers-killed-fighting-in-gaza-another-in-karmiel-stabbing-attack-18-videos/ - https://southfront.press/two-israeli-soldiers-killed-fighting-in-gaza-another-in-karmiel-stabbing-attack-18-videos/ or https://southfront.press/two-israeli-soldiers-killed-fighting-in-gaza-another-in-karmiel-stabbing-attack-18-videos/
DJ-Both UKraine and USrael are destroyed...unsafe. So the economies are collapsing...UKraine only gets energy from a few nuclear power plants and import from the EU...A pipeline transporting gas from Russia to some EU countries provides a bit of income for UKraine...
Very likely even grain export may be difficult-UKraine trains need electricity...The EU imposed import limits to UKraine agriculture export...EU farmers do no longer want to see their income reduced because of UKraine export...
In the UK less than 55% of the voters went voting..."New Labour" may be willing to invest more in the NHS...healthcare..Even "reposition itself" on the EU...
DJ-The EU should think twice on allowing the UK to rejoin...You want to join a club or not...The EU already has a lot of problematic members...In my opinion it was "unwise" to expand the EU with Eastern European countries this fast without a good strategy...
Just like with the Euro/€ expansion seems to be a goal on its own...Discussions on "how to make it work" are not welcome(d)...
August 19-22 in Chicago the US democrats will elect their presidential candidate...DJ-It will very likely NOT be biden !
Both the US and UK have -in fact- a two party system with election districts...France also has a district system...Here in NL in parliament elections candidates-from often 20+ parties- more or less run all over the country...It may result in better representation...
However here in NL we now have a "problematic" "most right wing" government since 1945...I trust they will make such a mess of it "democracy will correct itself"...
Support for more war(s) in both Europe and North America is dropping...costs of both the health and climate crises are exploding...So priorities shift...

In the UK the new PM "starmer" is already very unpopular...In the UK hardly more voters went voting than during the last Iran elections...In Iran a "moderate candidate" could bring less extreme islamic rules...He may be more open to make deals with (new) BRICS+ members...
Somehow "the west" still believes "the rest" is very interested in doing any deals with that 10% "west"...The 90% "rest" has lost ANY trust in the stealing, robbing bunch of insane warmongers "leading" the "west"...

BEIJING, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Chinese and Belarusian armed forces are set to conduct a joint army training in mid-July near Brest, Belarus, announced the Ministry of National Defense on Sunday.
The ministry noted that the training, which is in accordance with this year's plan and a mutual agreement between the two countries, will focus on counter-terrorism operations.

Both the US and France kicked out of Africa-in part replaced by Russian military and Chinese investors...
The same French elite stealing uranium and gold-in fact also lives- from Africa is also exploiting French workers...
DJ-The extreme right wing party-in France- may be much to close to the rich elite...So it ended up at third place in yesterdays election...
Macron was frustrated with France being replaced by Russia in Africa-so he ordered French military to fight Russia in UKraine...(In Lebanon, Syria-also once under French "dominance" after World War One-end of Ottoman Empire-France also did loose control...)

Right wing parties/leaders-like Orban-Hungary now visiting China- are also fed up with these NATO provoked wars...
In the US biden is isolated...very likely in such bad health his "supporters" will replace him with the puppet kamela harris...
So "the west" is sinking into a deep crisis...
One of the outcomes will be prices for medication may go up...NATO did fight BRICS+...a lot of medication comes from BRICS+ countries...
The end of wars may see less refugees...leaving the west with an older population and a bad economy...
Of course talks before fighting-in 2021- could have avoided this western collapse...More balanced relations with Africa-before 2007-could have given France some space there...
Maximizing profits may not last long if you are not willing to pay a fair price...
now "the west" has to pay that prize ! Since a small elite did cause this problem..it is time for "rebalancing in the west"; tax the rich !

Another video of Russian strikes in the Ukrainian capital revealed all the lies officially claimed by the Ukrainian military. According to the official report by the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russian forces launched13 Kh–101missiles in Kyiv, ofwhich11 were allegedly shot down.
One of the missiles allegedly directly struch a children’s hospital.
Numerous videos denied the lies. One of them was well illustrative. It shows a series of Russian strikes ar the Artyom plant. The facility was pounded by at least 6 Kh-101 missiles. Thus, the Ukrainian military officials claimed lies.
-
The video clearly shows how Russian Kh-101 missiles look like. They are completely different from the one that was filmed striking the area near the hospital. There are clear evidences that the hospital was targeted by a missile of the Ukrainian air force, in particular NASAMS. The only question is wether the missile failed or it was inntentionally launched on the civilian facility full of children.

By June 19, 2024, 37 396 people had been killed in the Gaza Strip since the attack by Hamas and the Israeli invasion in October, 2023, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, as reported by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry,
The Ministry has had to augment its usual reporting, based on people dying in its hospitals or brought in dead, with information from reliable media sources and first responders. This change has inevitably degraded the detailed data recorded previously. Consequently, the Gaza Health Ministry now reports separately the number of unidentified bodies among the total death toll. As of May 10, 2024, 30% of the 35 091 deaths were unidentified.
Armed conflicts have indirect health implications beyond the direct harm from violence. Even if the conflict ends immediately, there will continue to be many indirect deaths in the coming months and years from causes such as reproductive, communicable, and non-communicable diseases. The total death toll is expected to be large given the intensity of this conflict; destroyed health-care infrastructure; severe shortages of food, water, and shelter; the population's inability to flee to safe places; and the loss of funding to UNRWA, one of the very few humanitarian organisations still active in the Gaza Strip.
In recent conflicts, such indirect deaths range from three to 15 times the number of direct deaths. Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death
to the 37 396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza. Using the 2022 Gaza Strip population estimate of 2 375 259, this would translate to 7·9% of the total population in the Gaza Strip. A report from Feb 7, 2024, at the time when the direct death toll was 28 000, estimated that without a ceasefire there would be between 58 260 deaths (without an epidemic or escalation) and 85 750 deaths (if both occurred) by Aug 6, 2024.

Communication networks could not keep up with the flow of information, as was the case for soldiers sending these reports. However, the message conveyed at 11:22 A.M. across the Gaza Division network was understood by everyone. "Not a single vehicle can return to Gaza" was the order.
At this point, the IDF was not aware of the extent of kidnapping along the Gaza border, but it did know that many people were involved. Thus, it was entirely clear what that message meant, and what the fate of some of the kidnapped people would be. ... One case in which it is known that civilians were hit, a case that received wide coverage, took place in the house of Pessi Cohen at Kibbutz Be'eri. 14 hostages were held in the house as the IDF attacked it, with 13 of them killed.
I guestimate that at least half of the 1,200 Zionist casualties were killed by their own army.

At least 71 Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes that designated a humanitarian area in the Gaza Strip on July 13, in an attack which Israel says targeted the top leader of the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas Movement.
More than 289 people were also wounded as a result of the attack, the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza said in a statement.
The strikes hit the al-Mawasi area near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, which the Israeli military has designated as a humanitarian zone.

The al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Hamas Movement, released on July 12 video footage showing its fighters ambushing a unit of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.
The complex ambush took place in the Tell al-Hawa neighborhood near Gaza City. In the footage, Hamas fighters are seen rigging two buildings with explosive devices then setting up a number of cameras to monitor the situation. Once Israeli troops entered the kill zone, the fighters blew up the two buildings.
Following the second blast, mortars were fired at Israeli troops as they were evacuating casualties from the scene of the ambush.

Earlier in the day, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he had instructed Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan to meet with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad “to start restoring relations between the two countries.
Erdogan also said that “Fidan was authorized to organize a meeting with President Assad in a third country,” without elaborating.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani revealed last May that his government was working on reconciliation between Turkey and Syria, reviving talks which were launched by Russia around two years earlier.
Later in June the talks saw a breakthrough when Assad told Russia’s Syria envoy, Alexander Lavrentyev, that “Syria welcomes” all reconciliation initiatives with Turkey.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on July 14 that it struck targets of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) overnight in response to the launch of two drones from Syria at Israel’s southernmost city of Eilat a day earlier.
The targets struck during the attack included a central Syrian Army command center, infrastructure and air defense systems, according to the IDF.
A Syrian military official told the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency that a soldier was killed and three others were injured in the Israeli strikes, which targeted military sites in southern Syria and a residential building in the Damascus suburb of Kafr Sousa.
The strikes were launched from over the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, according to the unnamed official, who said that Syrian air defenses shot down many of the incoming missiles despite the intensity of the attack.
In the July 13 drone attack, two Iranian-made Shahed-type suicide drones were shot down by Israeli fighter jets and Iron Dome air defense systems just north of Eilat.
No group claimed responsibility for the drone attack, but the IDF said it viewed the SAA as responsible for any attacks from its territory.
Israel has significantly escalated its attacks on Syria since the outbreak of the war in the Palestinian enclave of the Gaza Strip, targeting Syrian military sites as well as personnel of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Lebanese Hezbollah and other forces of the so-called Axis of Resistance.
Last November, a drone allegedly launched from Syria struck Eilat causing damage. At the time, the IDF said that it responded by targeting the group in Syria that launched the drone, without naming who was behind the attack.
War-torn Syria has for long refrained from directly responding to Israel’s repeated attacks in what appears to be an attempt to avoid a dangerous confrontation. Nevertheless, the latest drone attack on Eilat suggests that this may be about to change.
DJ, Why would one attack Eilat from Syria ? Yemen-Houthi's do attack Eilat (on the Red Sea) from Yemen.
DJ-My view; USrael/netanyahu pushing/provoking Syria. netanyahu would love to see a country attacking them-it may further increase NATO support.
Still netanyahu keeps trying to get "his" war between US/NATO and Iran.
Iran-part of a.o. BRICS+ is coordinating its reaction with other BRICS+ members and "the region" (a.o. Türkiye). So NATO for now only can give support for a "greater USrael" in Gaza. The USrael/NATO genocide may have killed 200,000+ Palestinians.
-In UKraine Russia is destroying (western) weapons many times faster than the west can replace them. NATO knows both F16 and "western volunteers" may not change the outcome.
In the US trump very likely will win the november US elections. NATO tried to find ways to continu the war even if trump may want to end it...However both the UKraine and USrael mass murders ONLY can go on because of US (full) support...
So those exploiting biden his dementia have limited room for escalation in UKraine...besides that US debts may have reached their limits...Maybe the EU/UK do want to finance more US debts...but they are also sinking in a debt-gap themselves...
Both netanyahu and zelinsky are crazy enough to provoke further escalations. Both "leaders" could try to claim nuclear/chemical, biological attacks...
Also western media could claim M-pox, H5N1, other diseases are the results of BRICS+ warfare...ignoring their own total lack of pandemic strategy again...
DJ-Lab-leak non sense for CoViD, Mpox etc. are part of a propaganda war...It only has a chance in a two-dimensional world ignoring both history and science...
The money wasted on wars is needed to deal with solving climate collapse and the pandemics that are a result of climate collapse....The biggest pandemic risk is bad leadership-more than any disease !

DJ, Why would NATO not try to burn down all of Siberia ? "Using UKraine drones/weapons"
. It of course would also destroy the Arctic...push climate collapse totally over the cliff...
But for NATO crazy leaders it could bring victory...
-----------
Hezbollah started wildfires in the north of NATO-proxy "USrael"...In World War Two both Japan and Germany did see bombings resulting in urban fire storms...People in shelters died because the fire did take away oxygen...
Fire as a weapon-in drought/heat-is a cheap easy to use weapon...Since NATO has been attacking lots of targets -up to 1000 km+ away from the UKraine border (and of course claiming it was an UKraine attack...) why not go for setting fire to ALL of Siberia ?
DJ-Nuclear war may be one of the worst options...however non-nuclear total war could be worse. Using famines, diseases, fires to destroy oneanother...
This madness HAS to STOP !!!
We are in the worst climate crisis humans ever faced-pandemics are a result of that climate crisis ! We do NOT have ANY room for wasting trillions on crazy wars !
That money is needed to deal with climate, poverty, healthcare and education...We need much more health care workers (HCWś) worldwide...The "west" importing" HCW's in a crisis-so countries kept poor have even less HCW-ers-and dumping those HCW-ers after the crisis-is NOT a real solution...

CRISIS BY DESIGN: IMF Warns of Global Recession Caused by Failing US Economy & Soaring Debt Crisis
DJ, IMF does see two US problems;
-large budget defecit
-US debt grows 1 trillion per 100 days...
https://www.usdebtclock.org/ - https://www.usdebtclock.org/ or https://www.usdebtclock.org/ now close to 35 trillion US$...
In the past lots of countries had an interest in buying US debts since the US$ was the global reserve currency.
In 2024 US debts are larger than ever before while the US$ is used less and less a reserve currency.
Using the US$ as a weapon has backfired. The US did "overstretch" its capacities...
https://southfront.press/drone-attack-hit-base-hosting-u-s-troops-in-western-iraq/ - https://southfront.press/drone-attack-hit-base-hosting-u-s-troops-in-western-iraq/ or https://southfront.press/drone-attack-hit-base-hosting-u-s-troops-in-western-iraq/
DJ-The US simply no longer can finance the present level of global wars any longer...It has gotten to expensive to have 800-1,000 US bases around the globe...
So-for economic reasons the US may have to focus at "priority conflicts" the US may be able to win. With or without NATO/allies...
The US does see a growing tendency to isolationism. Even if the US would stop ALL its wars than still the US debts and lack of investments in the US itself (infrastructure, education, healthcare) will make "recovery" a very major job...
-biden has CoViD for the 3rd time...will get 82 in november.
If NATO wants to claim some sort of victory in UKraine it has to go for it BEFORE the US elections (tuesday november 5)...
So 3,5 months to go....
DJ-If trump wins the US elections he may go for even more support for (what will be left of) "USrael"....drop UKraine...Maybe seek escalation with China...
However netanyahu his goal is getting the west to fight Iran...netanyahu may NOT be in power (much longer) in november...
The US (and certainly NATO) is not waiting for a war with Iran...because Iran is now a very strategic EurAsian partner no longer isolated...
-
Both major NATO wars in UKraine and Palestine have become the latest NATO disasters...They did NOT weaken Russia...Like Assad in Syria, Putin in Russia only did get stronger...
After the end of the Soviet Union in 1991 "the west" did think they were in global control and misused that position to ignore interests of others...
The "west" dominated the globe for around 500 years.
That in fact already has ended. Most international trade by now is no longer in/via "the west". Asia is the global powerhouse.
Western leaders can keep looking for conflict/confrontation-but that only further marginalizes the west...The "rest" of the world might be better of without a war mongering agressive and destructive west...

Biden regime change
DJ, If the US president is too ill to continue his/her job there are rules...If the "democrats" have had enough of biden there are supposed to be rules...
For US democratic party primaries biden did win them...So in august biden was supposed to be presented as running for the november 5 elections...
There seems to be a power struggle-biden may stick to his position while the democratic party elite want him to go...
With the murder attampt on trump july 13 "US politics" are in unknown areas....
Since both the UKraine and USrael wars are an outcome of biden insanity an end to biden his time -very welcome !-may mean the end for both dictators netanyahu and zelenski...
----
For this forum; Pandemics-very much linked to climate collapse-are supposed to see "politics" reacting...NOT denying any crisis...
CoViD-19 became a pandemic because politics failed...Wars not only waste trillions but also resulting in in millions of refugees, overloading healthcare with war-wounded...
Is "war" an excuse for also censorship on H2H spread of H5N1 ? CoViD getting out of control-again ? Because the pandemic was NOT over ! (And the WHO never did claim the pandemic was over !!!)
Wars to steal energy sources, keep the US$ as dominant global currency have not only destroyed the west...The basic stupidity behind it may result in "loads of pandemics"-unseen in human history !

Zelensky, playing for time
DJ, NO strategy or "vision" other than an ever larger expanding NATO...US neo-cons ruling the globe in the interest of a -very unwelcome- rich "donor-class".
This "NATO" playing for time has NOTHING to do with "defending democracy"-it undermines democracy !
Still "western leaders" claim NATO-proxies UKraine and USrael -used in wars against BRICS+- are "democracies"...In UKraine zelenski using martial law to stay in power...In USrael another war criminal and dictator-netanyahu-needs wars to stay in power...(USrael "elections" will not change a thing...Palestinians in occupied areas are excluded...).
-
USrael did attack Iran-targets (it claimed) in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon...USrael now going for an indirect escalation of the war with Iran/BRICS+....It may push Türkiye out of NATO into a war with the USrael-NATO proxy...
-
Also in pandemics "we are winning" while in fact CoViD never ended, Mpox is underreported, H5N1 is out of control...
(Western) leaders simply deny any problem "saving the economy/profits"-working for their "donors"....Climate collapse ? We will keep temperature rise under 1,5C by lifting the pre-industrial base line to 2000....If one goes for a more realistic 1750 pre-industrial baseline temperature rise may be 2,75C....
-
War as distraction because "politics for sale" made a complete mess of pandemics, climate ?
BRICS+ no longer believes there is any point in talking to "the west"-it will destroy/break UKraine, USrael...replace governments with "pro-BRICS+" governments...
If one looks at the money wasted in NATO-wars since around 1990 then "trillions" of US$,£ or € needed to deal with climate issues are wasted...Climate collapse=pandemics...
An all-out nuclear war would have ended humanity within 30 minutes ...The US-as the only superpower-ruling NATO is slowly destroying humanity..
I think there is still a point-morally-in going for damage control. There are lots of good ideas-that may SAVE money-and may limit damage...NATO -in its present form-is NOT part of that !
NATO as a first responder for aid in disaster areas may be very welcome ! Using a "war machine" to do good -with international cooperation facing extreme global problems- may be a way out...We need to change the way we think !

So in an optimistic scenario-TODAY-monday july 22- biden steps down as US president-Kamala Harris does replace him and she makes clear to be in control of the US...
More realistic the US political chaos goes on...demented biden -as a puppet- kept "president"...Even the EU no longer knows who is in charge in the US....
The power vacuum is a disaster in itself...Even if Kamala Harris would be a h.clinton puppet the world has to have a clear leader in the White House...She is Vice-President...
-
BRICS+ has given up on expecting any diplomacy from "the west". But the US political crisis makes the situation even more unpredictable and unstabile...
If that US crisis sticks till the november 5 US elections it may break up NATO...
NATO dictators like zelenski, netanyahu will try to use the chaos to "win" the wars they are fighting for NATO...
My view; Some high rank military prevented -so far- an all out open World War Three...

BRICS+ will come with more diplomatic offensives to get an even larger grip on the global economy...further weakening the west...Very likely breaking up that west...

That failed...So the west keeps wasting hundreds of millions of US$/€ PER DAY in losing wars...
"Increase of war spending" is PR-most western weapons did see their prices (more than) double...So in 2020 a western weapon may have cost 10 million...by now that same weapon will be over 20 million...Spending more on wars is buying less weapons...
Both in UKraine and USrael those "high tech modern western" weapons simply fail to win the war...
To make matters even worse biden steps OUT of the election race but "believes" he can stay on as "US president(puppet)"....A car needs a driver-no one is behind the "western steering wheel"....

Written by Ahmed Adel, Cairo-based geopolitics and political economy researcher
During their recent meeting in Moscow, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed in a Joint Declaration to conduct trade and investment in their respective national currencies (the rupee and the ruble), which amounts, without using the term, to a de facto de-dollarisation of India – a country projected to be the world’s second-largest economy in the coming years – and Russia, which has already displaced Japan from fourth spot in the global ranking measuring purchasing power, according to the World Bank. In fact, it is expected that de-dollarisation will pick up even more pace at the upcoming BRICS+ summit in Kazan in October, which Russia will chair.

A precise strike by the Russian armed forces against a target in Odessa resulted in the destruction of an entire unit of British Special Boat Service (SBS)* fighters - "underwater saboteurs, the elite of the British saboteur community."
As a result of a very precise hit by the Russians, 18 members of the British special forces were killed and 25 others were wounded.
The most interesting thing is that the investigators who came to the scene spoke exclusively English. This means that they (the British) no longer trust the Ukrainian SBU.
There is information that the Ukrainian soldiers have passed on all the data.
There is already sabotage going on by ACTIVE DUTY TROOPS OF NATO-MEMBER COUNTRIES, against Russian forces. These NATO troops are engaged in actual warfare in Ukraine. Yet NATO laughingly claims it "is not a party to the conflict."
Russia determined the place and time so that the entire British elite unit would be hit. Russia succeeded.
It is important to note, there are very few such specialists in the entire United Kingdom; perhaps 100-120 people for the whole country. As such, this Russian strike was a very serious blow; not for Ukraine but for Britain.
* - The article has been corrected to identify the dead as members of the Royal Navy's "Special Boat Service (SBS)" as opposed to Special Air Service (SAS)
DJ, MS also mentioned some French military killed. They were operating the "UKraine" sea drones from the Odessa-area...

Russia's military has released new video as part of ongoing warnings to the West as it pours weapons and ammo into Ukraine. Moscow also continues to warn against the West introducing F-16s into the conflict, which is imminent.
The Russian Defense Ministry on Tuesday published footage purporting to show the destruction of a large warehouse filled with US-supplied weapons, specifically including a HIMARS multiple rocket launcher system. The depot was destroyed by a Russian ballistic missile, with the video showing an extensive building engulfed in huge flames.

Germany has outlawed a Muslim religious organisation it accuses of propagating “extremism” and supporting Iran and Hezbollah.
The Federal Ministry of the Interior and Community announced the ban on the Islamic Center Hamburg (IZH) and its national affiliates on Wednesday, calling its mission “anti-constitutional”.

A fresh report in Israel's https://www.ynetnews.com/article/bks2yqcur - calling for a change in the European Union’s approach to Syria, namely lifting sanctions and renewing diplomatic ties with the regime of President Bashar al-Assad."
"Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani and his counterparts argue that the EU’s humanitarian aid policy has failed," the report underscores.
DJ, "Europe" and the US may also be divided over both USrael and Iran...With the US distancing itself from the UKraine (biden) war-the US provoked...Now it is a "European problem"...so the US can prepare more conflicts with China...
-Both Chinese republics PRC and Taiwan see themselves as "China"...just like North- and South-Korea try to get one "Korea"...The US needs to create a conflict and keep that conflict going...
-An outcome is that even India-in many ways an enemy of China-ally however of Russia (for decades) -is trying to improve relations with China.
-There have been "Vladivostok-talks" between Russia, China and the Korea's on reunification. North Korea is "moving" to get out of isolation. South Korea is "unhappy" both with US "push" for Japan rearmament and US nuclear weapons in South Korea (ports).
-Countries like Indonesia may have good relations both with China and Taiwan-may try to "build a bridge"...
So in (Eur)Asia support for more insane "biden confrontation policies" is -in fact- almost gone...
BRICS+ will be discussing on Palestine-a long term solution. One "red line" is BRICS+ will NOT accept a NATO/USrael attack on Iran. (Russia may have shot down an USrael F35 over Iraq on its way for an EMP-attack on Iran...Pepe Escobar sources claimed).
-In october BRICS+ will meet in Kazan-Russia to discuss next steps on enlarging BRICS+. Since there are so many countries on the waitinglist another sort of "mechanism" is needed.
A basic idea is trade in local currencies (so NOT in US$ or the Euro/€). Further decrease of the US$ as "reserve currency for international trade"=more dumping of US$...pushing up further US inflation...
"If you can not beat them join them"- US still trying to "beat BRICS+"...Europe more and more moving to "increase EurAsian trade"...(with trump possibly winning the november US elections even a wider gap between Europe and the US).

Russia fired Drones tonight to attack sites in far southwestern Ukraine. The drones went too far, crossed the Danube River, and struck Romania. Video below shows the large explosions taking place in Romania.
Russia is screaming this was "an accident." UPDATE 11:33 PM EDT --
Preliminarily, there were explosions in the city of Isaccia, Romania.
Unfortunately, one attack UAV ("Shahed-136/31") flew into the city of Isaccia, Romania, which is 50 kilometers from the city of Izmail, Odesa.
The Russian Drones were supposed to be attacking Vylkove, Ukraine, as shown on the scalable map below. Instead, the drones crossed the Danube River at the western edge of Vylkove, and hit inside Romania.

Lot of ppl treating this like a joke, but it's a deadly serious escalation for them to be saying this to a news media that will now treat it as quotable truth and a legal system that shunts aside vaunted "rights" and unlocks new tools of repression at the mere accusation.

A rocket attack on young people playing football in the occupied Golan Heights killed at least 12 people from the Druze community. Israel blamed Hezbollah, but the Lebanese group denied all responsibility.
DJ,
Israeli forces https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/27/israeli-attacks-kill-more-than-50-palestinians-across-gaza - attacked a school that was being used as a field hospital and a shelter in central Deir el-Balah, killing at least 30 people, including 15 children. The attack overwhelmed Al-Aqsa Hospital, with a doctor describing “catastrophic” scenes there.
This madness has to end-my view however is USrael/netanyahu did get MORE support for his/its crimes...
This is how the https://x.com/hashtag/US?src=hashtag_click - #US guard and patrol the Mediterranean as an early warning long the Lebanese/Syrian borders on behalf of https://x.com/hashtag/Israel?src=hashtag_click - #Israel under EUCOM to intercept missiles and drones coming from https://x.com/hashtag/Iraq?src=hashtag_click - #Iraq and https://x.com/hashtag/Yemen?src=hashtag_click - #Yemen . These drones r flying within the limit of the maritime borders (12 miles).
DJ, Both the US/NATO and Russia/Iran can see who is doing what in Palestine.
Druse of the occupied Golan Heights have an Israeli ID.
Druse of the occupied Golan Heights joined the Zionist army and are serving like any other zionist.

DJ-netanyahu wants a wider war in West Asia with full NATO support. Some US "politicians-for-sale" may want to increase war industry profits further...
However both USrael and NATO military want to AVOID !!!! further escalation in West Asia.
NATO is kicked out of Africa, Syria/Iraq/Lebanon and UKraine...
NATO may be losing more arms in many wars than they now can replace...(so yes increase of military spending-but losses are already that heavy, costs for replacing those losses that high NATO is being demilitarized high speed...).
A strategy may be Gaza is the price to pay to END USrael...A cease fire, talks with "the region" are in USrael interest. Like UKraine every hour of war is a step closer to the end of these NATO proxies...
DJ-I do not think BRICS+ is "very interested" any longer in western "(s)elections"...As long as the "west" only makes deals to break deals there is not much point in talks...

Hezbollah’s denial of responsibility for rocket attack opens door for de-escalation
Omar Baddar, a Middle East political analyst, said he believed the rocket attack on the Golan Heights was “almost certainly an accident,” regardless of who was responsible for it.
“No party in the entire region has either a political interest or a military interest in targeting a kid’s soccer game in a Druze town in the occupied Golden Heights. And it’s also worth noting that there is a desire on both the part of Hezbollah and Israel to avoid a full-scale war,” he told Al Jazeera from Washington, DC.
“We would need an independent investigation to actually really know what’s unfolded in this case. But Hezbollah’s denial is itself at least an indication even if it were to turn out to be a Hezbollah rocket, it certainly is not an intentional targeting of that soccer game,” he added.
“So this would open the door for some sort of de-escalation and the question is whether Israel is interested in taking that path or do they see a conflict with Hezbollah as inevitable and are they going to take this opportunity as a good PR moment for them to escalate in that direction.”
DJ, netanyahu did get the support he wanted in/from the US. No doubt a lot of other NATO "vassals" will follow.
The bigger picture is the NATO-"west" still going for a neo-colonial agenda-telling the "rest" of the world-90% of the population what currency to use in what kind of trade...
The "west" is based on (neo)colonialism-is unable to think any other "agenda"...Even if NATO is losing all its wars "NATO only knows war"...does not speak any other language...
keep your focus on how https://x.com/hashtag/Israel?src=hashtag_click - #Israel will hit https://x.com/hashtag/Hezbollah?src=hashtag_click - #Hezbollah positions (not random attacks to avoid a response that destroys Israeli infrastructure) and how the retaliation will be equally painful for the Zionists, as preparations have already been made to respond swiftly to any Israeli aggression.
It is time for https://x.com/hashtag/Lebanon?src=hashtag_click - #Lebanon to teach the arrogant and immoral child-killers of https://x.com/hashtag/Israeli?src=hashtag_click - #Israeli Zionism an unforgettable lesson and take back its occupied territories by force.
DJ, Lots of people following the USrael genocide once were "neutral" to even pro-"Israel"...netanyahu fully destroyed that support.
The "west" could find some unity and even support for "stopping Russian agression in UKraine"...however a lot of countries (and a.o. the Pope) did see that war as an outcome of biden-provocation...(let me be clear-when "they" talk about western/NATO/US provocation the finger points to j.biden...).
Since october 7 even NATO itself is very divided over USrael...US-UK-NL-Germany keep sending weapons to USrael...Türkiye is "100%" supporting Palestine (at least in words).
-
Yes-US elections november 5 may be "relevant" -but there are close to 100 days before those US elections...
Using a Middle East war (and give up UKraine) may fit the biden/harris "election plan"...The goal may not be "to win the war" but "the US bringing peace to the region" (while-like many times before it was the US that made the war possible...).
Russia has "escalation dominance" in UKraine...Obama wanted to keep that "conflicr" limited.
The US may try to "regain initiative" in the Middle East-and use USrael for that...
Most USrael wars were short. The "USrael army" (most reservists) is not "made for" long wars...The idea was showing such power "shock & awe" wars would be a matter of weeks...if possible not even months...
UKraine soon will run out of western supplies...zelenski can get a "safe place" if he keeps following US orders...(NOT following those orders means he is dead).
France would like to "restore"its "influence" in Lebanon and Syria. The UK still has energy and logistics interests in the Mediterranean Sea...
For the US its position as A "superpower" is at stake...To their horror neo-cons found out the US no longer is the "only superpower"....
The US position in the world since 9-11 2001 and "endless wars" ended up getting weaker...
NATO expanded...but it did NOT result in a better position for the "west"...BRICS+ by now may be far stronger...
Neutral countries can be "bridges to peace"-so Sweden, Finland joining NATO = less bridges to peace...Austria may be one of the few in that position in Europe...(Ireland is another one-but does limit its role).
-
A possible "plan" -outcome of netanyahu talks in the US- could be a major US-rael/NATO "strike"...The timing of the Golan attack -shortly after netanyahu returned from the US-is "special"...
Extremist like ben gvir etc. do not see Druze-USrael citizens as "humans"-the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal_Directive - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal_Directive or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal_Directive gives USrael "room" to murder its own citizens for "the bigger goal"...
So-USrael may have killed Druze children in the Golan Heights-with weapons also used by Hezbollah. (A bit like UKraine may have shot down MH17 with the goal to blame Russia "idea"...)...
Russia has "limited military power" in West Asia. Iran may not be able to "escalate fast enough"....NATO/USrael may go for a "major strike" and "hope" such show of strength "ends the conflicts" -returns West Asia to "western control"...
It would be a very stupid idea...Even if it would not bring a direct attack on Iran. It would result in further escalation of the NATO-BRICS+ conflict.
Very likely also it may even "end" NATO...(Türkiye, South-East Europe do NOT want that kind of war(s)...

I'm re-upping this because I'm getting the impression that people are increasingly fatigued of pointing out Israel's war crimes: again today Israel blew up Rafah's water supply and killed dozens of civilians who had taken refuge in a school, which barely made a blip in the news...
And I'm not going to lie, I'm guilty of this too: it's incredibly dispiriting to see that the enormous worldwide mobilization has yielded so little effect and the horrors continue apace. All the more so when IDF soldiers keep taunting the world by boasting about their actions on social media in total impunity, when you see things like Netanyahu being received like a demigod in the US Congress, and when those who protest all this are demonized in so many ways as "antisemites" or "useful idiots".
But I'm also reminded of these words by 102 years old philosopher Edgar Morin, one of France's most revered intellectual figures, as well as a Jewish WW2 resistant who fought as a lieutenant in De Gaulle's France combattante.
You can read the entire translation of words on Gaza below but this part is especially relevant at this point in time: "We are living through a horrible tragedy because we are also powerless in the face of this thing that is unleashing. At least, I say: bear witness! The only thing that remains if we cannot resist concretely is to testify. Let's resist in our minds, let's not be fooled, let's not forget, let's have the courage to face things head-on."
The very least we can do is to bear witness. It was probably always naive to expect that our words as citizens would be heard - if our voices actually mattered when they disagree with the powers that be, we'd have noticed by now - but there's value in bearing witness in and of itself. Though our words may seem futile today, they are etching an indelible record upon the heart of history and humanity's conscience. And perhaps, in some hopefully not too distant future, these accumulated testimonies will rise like a chorus, forcing onto the world a reckoning it can no longer ignore. At the very least, history won't be recorded as "they died and we stayed silent".
DJ, Russia may have stopped an USrael attack on Iran in the recent past and may stop any such kind of action now...
Part of the USrael-NATO plan may still push for regime change in Syria..

A mainly Tuareg separatist coalition has claimed a major victory over Mali’s army and its Russian allies following three days of intense fighting in a district on the Algerian border.
“Our forces decisively obliterated these enemy columns on Saturday,” said a statement by Mohamed Elmaouloud Ramadane, spokesman for the Permanent Strategic Framework for Peace, Security and Development (CSP-PSD) alliance on Sunday.
-
Adama Gaye, a journalist, author and former director of the Economic Community of West African States, told Al Jazeera on Sunday that Tuareg forces could be receiving outside help, including from the French military and regional armed groups with “allegiance to al-Qaeda”.
-
A local official and a former worker with the United Nations mission in Kidal told AFP the Malian army had retreated with at least 15 fighters from Russia’s Wagner Group killed or arrested.
Mossa Ag Inzoma, a member of the separatist movement, claimed that “dozens” of Wagner fighters and soldiers had been killed or taken prisoner.
Several Russian military bloggers reported that at least 20 from the Wagner Group were killed in an ambush near the Algerian border.
DJ, Western "press" claim up to 80 Russians may have been killed.
MS mentioned a sandstorm prevented air cover for the Mali-Russian convoy. "Western" (US-France ?) intel did give the "moderate rebels" info on where to attack. No doubt "the west" is also providing weapons, food...CIA airlifting IS-terrorists from Syria, Libya...
Russia is gathering "special forces" from other African/West Asian countries and will -very likely- destroy the NATO infrastructure behind the "rebels"....

China is a major investor in Venezuela oil. Venezuela also linked up with Cuba, Nicaragua and improved relations with Iran.
The "west" wants energy trade in US$ "or else regime change"...So far the "west" failed to start a "civil" war..."Contra's" fascists may not be organized enough to start such a war...

DJ, Palestine;
-The timing of "Hezbollah killing Druze children" just after netanyahu made a deal in the US is "very special"....My view; It was not even an Iron Dome air defense missile "going wrong"...it was a false flag by the USrael criminals to provide an excuse for an attack on Iran backed groups in Lebanon and Syria....
Video has emerged from the Golan Heights showing DEFINITIVELY it was an Israeli IRON DOME MISSILE that malfunctioned and hit the Soccer Stadium, killing 12 Children and wounding many others!
DJ-USrael claimed to have proof an Iran made missile -in use by Hezbollah-was used...(However it could be used in a false flag by USrael itself).
The Israeli Government intends to launch a series of significant and broad Strikes against Hezbollah Targets throughout Lebanon including in the suburbs of Beirut, as well as Sites of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’s Quds Force in both Northern Lebanon and Syria. Members of the War Cabinet have authorized prime minister Netanyahu and defense minister Gallant to decide on the manner of the response against Hezbollah, and the timing
-
Reports of Israeli strikes on southern Lebanon and cancellations of flights at Beirut airport.
-- American Officials: "We believe that the Israeli army’s targeting of Beirut is a potential red line for Hezbollah.' And possibly for Iran too.
-
Israeli reports say Lebanese officials now confirm that US envoy and NSC official Amos Hochstein passed information to Hezbollah, of Israeli strikes, in advance of those strikes, to Lebanon.
Israel is calling this a "Blood Betrayal by the United States."
Israel has now had to change their "Strike Package" which is why there has been no main attack yet.
DJ some remarks;
-Druze leaders kicked out USrael representatives claiming USrael was behind the death of 12 Druze children
-Türkiye/Erdogan made clear an attack on Lebanon=an attack on Türkiye
-Russia, Iran are already in the region-China also made clear it would NOT accept more USrael murders and crimes..
-In general any USrael escalation (now) would be seen as US (NATO backed) escalation..
-In Iraq US/NATO bases are targeted (one of those bases also has 120 NL military)...Iraq wants NATO out...
DJ-Türkiye may soon enter talks with Syria, Iraq, Iran and Russia on resolving the regional conflict. Türkiye may pull back its forces from Syria and Iraq if these countries "control" Kurdish forces...
Those Kurdish forces are used by NATO/US...
Another point may be both USrael and NATO military are strongly AGAINST a major war in West Asia now...NATO (and its USrael proxy) is NOT ready for such a conflict...
UKraine is already a major disaster-the US/NATO goal is to keep zelenski in power untill november 5 -US elections...
Western "politicians-for-sale" seem to believe there is enough time for a "short show of force" so "the west" can become the global leader again...

Western "leaders" keep pushing a neo-colonial agenda worldwide...Unable to even understand the outcome of that stupidity is BRICS+ is getting stronger...
France electricity comes from nuclear powerplants using uranium France used to steal -via African mining companies- in Africa...
Italy recognized Assad in Syria-changed its policy on that...
DJ; Russia, Iran, even Cuba, Venezuela are "not free" in the sense that NL is "free"...I can disagree 100% with my government without going to prison...(It may damage carreer oppertunities etc.).
This world is far from ideal...Wars do not bring improvement...a lot of wars now in countries with temperatures 30C+...Iraq, Mali could even face 50C+/120F+ !
Global climate collapse resulting in a global-pandemic-health crisis should be top of a global agenda...

DJ, Maybe a short overview;
-USrael did NOT go for major attacks in Lebanon/Syria...of course netanyahu wanted NATO to do that...USrael military are AGAINST these attacks-it would get Iran, Russia against them-worsen relations with India, China...
Since Türkiye could also get involved AGAINST NATO-proxy USrael further USrael agression goes even US interests..."bad for harris"...
-Italian PM is in China talking about Italian-China trade and an end to the UKraine war....Italy also restarted diplomatic relations with Assad in Syria...MS mentioned "UKraine instructors" involved in the attack on Mali/Russian forces in the Algeria/Mali border zone..
-Lavrov had good talks in Malaysia. Malaysia would like to join BRICS+...
DJ-By now there may be 40+ countries on the BRICS+ waitinglist...Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia also in SE Asia...Also countries like Algeria, Kazachstan, Venezuela...
So BRICS+ has to find a new way to grow. An important point for most countries waiting to join BRICS+ is trade in local currencies-NOT in US$...(Malaysia openly asking why they would do trade with China, Russia in US$...)
Another point for Malaysia may be the MH17 dossier hijacked by the west...It was a Malaysian Boeing shot down over the east of UKraine...from the start the west screamed "Putin did it"...very likely UKraine did it ...the real question may be did UKraine shoot down MH17 on purpose-to blame/claim Russia did it...or was it by accident ?
(Western "investigations" were mostly based on UKraine secret service recordings of -supposed- conversations after the MH17 explosion...)
-In Venezuela the "US backed opposition" may find it hard to accept they did not get power...Very likely also no support from police or army to organize a coup...No doubt "the west" may try to organize "pro-democracy"protests...
DJ-The "main point" in the west is US elections november 5....biden/harris would love to see a success in foreign policy...Now have to do all they can to avoid escalation in the Middle East, slow down the collapse in UKraine...The last thing US "democrats" need is a start of other/larger (China !) conflicts....
DJ-Harris may have -given her age- more chance against-old man- trump...Could she ask Jill Stein https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Stein - https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Stein or https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Stein to be candidate VP ? US "democrats" and Green Party uniting to keep trump out ? Would NOT working together bring in trump ?
The US "democrats" on foreign policy have lost contact with quite a lot of their supporters...Most western citizens find the Gaza-genocide unacceptable-hate to see their "leaders" supporting it...
Also climate/pandemics policies fail...For the US democrats-Green Party cooperation could be a welcome fresh start and breaking of a stagnated two party system...

Caracas is recalling its diplomats from Argentina, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Uruguay and Chile, which have refused to recognize the re-election of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
DJ, I do not doubt the "massive protests" in Venezuela were organized -in part- by "the west" before the elections. Also very likely (exit)polls were "western products"-claiming "the US backed opposition would win"...to create expectations...
The "US-led west" does NOT care about "free elections"...We do NOT see elections in NATO-proxy UKraine..."the west" supported fascist dictators for decades...
It may be hard to tell how much votes several groups did get in Venezuela. Because of US interference-financing/organizing the opposition one can hardly claim fair elections...
Most likely the "protests" are PR and limited...

Hassan Barari, a professor at Qatar University, says he was not surprised at the assassination of Israel Haniyeh. “This is a declared policy of Israel. Netanyahu has been saying that he will target Hamas leaders inside or outside Gaza.”
“It was clear they would try to do this, but I did not expect it to happen in Tehran. We know when Israel targeted the Iranian consulate in Damascus how the Iranians responded and how the international community rallied to back Israel and tried to diffuse the possibility of war,” he said.
It’s quite difficult to predict what may happen next.
It could result in a much more grave situation and the Israeli military could escalate the war across the Gaza Strip.
But on the other hand, we’ve heard Netanyahu repeatedly insist on getting to the top leadership of Hamas and so this could be the absolute victory he’s been searching for.

DJ, One possible scenario may be speeding up talks between Iran-Iraq-Syria-Türkiye and Russia. Kicking out NATO occupation forces from Syria and Iraq has been a long term goal.
Hezbollah did -recently-show video's of their drones flying over a.o. Haifa. So it is very likely https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/30/israel-strikes-beirut-what-we-know-so-far - https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/30/israel-strikes-beirut-what-we-know-so-far or https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/7/30/israel-strikes-beirut-what-we-know-so-far will be answered with (major) attacks on Tel Aviv, Haifa etc.
A strategic goal may be (like happening in UKraine) destroying logistic infrastructure. With that further destruction of USrael economy...The US/NATO will try to keep USrael "going" but USrael is very vulnerable...
Very likely hitting ten major targets (air)ports, (rail)roads could "break" USrael...It is a small country...
"Jews" may try to leave the "Jewish State"....with that the Jewish majority may be at risk...If you include the occupied area's -supposed to be under Palestinian rule very likely there is not even a "Jewish" majority...
USrael has become another "crusader state" ...Since 1948 it had chances to develop "roots in the region"...The "west" may have "helped" in a wrong way...
"Restarting" USrael may be hard...BRICS+ however could have an interest...
"real-politik" looks at the FACTS...not at "ideology"...
If you have lived through wars and witnessed their devastating consequences, it will never be an option in your life to promote unless you are a fanatic child-killer who believes violence is the only way to communicate with the world.
DJ, "biden may go with a blow" showing US/NATO "strength" by starting yet another "shock & awe" war...Military and economy may not allow such madness...

Israel Might Well Fall Apart
A somewhat premature comment on the conflict between the Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant and Minister of National Security (and convicted radical) Itamar Ben-Gvir:
https://x.com/EyesOnSouth1/status/1818204009183764573 - 10:36 AM · Jul 30, 2024 Hussein @EyesOnSouth1 - https://x.com/EyesOnSouth1/status/1818204009183764573 - 10:36 AM · Jul 30, 2024
The disintegration of the Zionist society is happening earlier than expected. This will exacerbate the more Israelis become aware that war failure is inevitable. Civil war is very likely, but almost a third of the population (liberals & affiliates) would leave rather than fight.
This is not a clash between two officials, this is an ideological clash between two schools of thought who are at the complete opposite spectrum.
This will not stay between Ben-Gvir & Gallant/Halevi, it will become a conflict between the army and the police/militias.
The current conflict between Gallant and Ben-Gvir comes after the Military Police arrested nine soldiers accused of raping a Palestinian prisoner.
The Israeli investigation of the rape became necessary after reports https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/10/middleeast/israel-sde-teiman-detention-whistleblowers-intl-cmd/index.html - by CNN , https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/06/world/middleeast/israel-gaza-detention-base.html - the New York Times ( https://archive.ph/MMIiZ - archived ) and https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/07/29/palestinian-prisoners-israel-jails-abuse/ - the Washington Post ( https://archive.ph/Tsl8i - archived ) about prisoner abuse and murder in Israeli jails. The reports threatened https://www.ynetnews.com/article/bku3nziy0 - to trigger international investigations :
Judicial officials told Ynet that the serious suspicions must be investigated. "An internal Israeli investigation is better than an international probe," the said.
"Abuse of prisoners could cause unprecedented damage internationally. Internal investigations protect Israel from the International tribunals in the Hague. If we do not investigate, we are ensuring the political and military leaders end up before those courts and Israel subjected to grave steps. The suspects were detained for questioning and not arrested. They will receive a fair and just due process."
Lawyers for the suspected reservists denied the accusations of rape and said the prisoner refused a search when he was moved to the Sde Teiman facility and was restrained by force.
To describe a brutal anal gang rape as "restrain by force" requires some chutzpah.
DJ, One of the basic idea of "a Jewish State" was to provide a SAFE place for Jews...

The killing of Haniyeh drew condemnations from Palestinian Authority, Yemen’s Houthis, Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Russia, China and several other countries.
The assassination came just a day after Israel targeted Hezbollah senior military commander Fouad Shukr, also known as Hajj Mohsen, in the Lebanese capital, Beirut. The fate of Shukr remains unknown. The group warned Israel against attacking Beirut or any of its top leaders.
It also took place a little over a week after deadly Israeli strikes hit the Houthi-held Yemeni Red Sea port of al-Hodieda. The group vowed to respond.
The recent developments indicate that escalation in the Middle East which began with the October 7 Hamas-led surprise attack on Israel is about to reach a whole new level. The region may be on the brink of a full-on war.
The IRGC remarks in particular indicate that Iran and its allies could carry out a joint response against recent Israeli attacks in the region.

A former Lebanese lawmaker says Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent visit to the US featured coordination between Tel Aviv and Washington concerning assassination operations against senior resistance figures.
Naser Kandeel made the remarks in a post on X on Wednesday, referring to the last week visit to Washington by the Israeli prime minister, which was shortly followed by a failed assassination attempt by the Israeli military against Fuad Shukr, a senior commander of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah.
“The outcome of Netanyahu’s visit to Washington: Coordinating the assassination operations of leaders between American and Israeli intelligence,” Kandeel wrote.

EU Pressure on ITALY to Avoid BRICS: What's going on?
The European Union and the BRICS countries are being viewed with pragmatism by Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Her choice to accept the three BRICS nations—Brazil, India, and the United Arab Emirates—as a G7 member deviates from the G7's traditional strategy towards the Global South.
Leaders of a number of emerging countries, including Tunisia, India, Algeria, Brazil, Jordan, Kenya, Mauritania, and the UAE, were invited by Meloni to the 2024 G7 Summit, which was hosted in Apulia, Italy. This participation demonstrates her dedication to bringing a variety of viewpoints to the G7 talks and recognizing the important roles these nations play in world politics and the economy.
Although it seems that her goal was to discourage these countries from joining BRICS, her true goal is to oppose the EU's position and interact with the Global South in a largely Western framework—that is, the G7. Other G7 leaders are not pleased with this decision. Notably, there is evident disagreement between the two leaders as evidenced by the numerous direct and indirect criticisms made by French President Emmanuel Macron.
Meloni has expressed disapproval of a number of EU initiatives. She has, for example, criticized backdoor negotiations involving key EU jobs and characterized the EU as an invasive bureaucratic colossus. She has also advocated for increased democracy and openness in the Union's decision-making procedures. The Italian Prime Minister gave a lot of attention to topics like regulating artificial intelligence and strengthening partnerships with African countries during the G7 Summit.
Meloni's policy places a strong emphasis on using Italy as a hub for the export of African energy to Europe. The goal of this $5.95 billion project is to position Italy as a hub for supplying the European market with gas and other energy resources from Africa.
The necessity to diversify energy sources in light of decreased Russian supply as a result of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine is one of the initiatives main motivators. Meloni has also made an effort to gain the cooperation of international organizations like the European Union and the business sector for these development initiatives.

Following the strike on the port of Hodeidah in Yemen, Israel directed its missiles at Beirut and Tehran and assassinated an Iranian advisor in Damascus, while the US struck Popular Mobilisation Forces sites in Iraq.
This dangerous escalation undoubtedly aims to corner the “Axis of Resistance” and re-establish deterrence over them, which was lost ten months ago. If the Axis does not respond, Israel will likely increase its strikes and assassinations, disregarding all red lines.
Conversely, if there is a response, it could target cities like Haifa or Tel Aviv, prompting a retaliatory escalation that might spiral into a comprehensive war.
The question for Iranian and Lebanese Hezbollah’s strikes back is not if, but when, where, and how Israel will react.
DJ, Some "experts" still see US/USrael/NATO military "superiority/dominance" in West Asia. Point is how "means are used"...

From inside the Israeli Security Cabinet Meeting that ended a short while ago today:
1) Israeli security services believe that there are high chances of (and no way to stop) an all out war beginning this week.
2) Iran's Supreme Leader has issued an ORDER to Iranian Armed Forces, to militarily strike Israel directly, following the assassination of Haniyeh in Tehran.
3) Khamenei gave the ORDER at an emergency meeting of Iran's Supreme National Security Council this morning.
Hal Turner Remarks 5:00 PM EDT --
As of 4:48 PM EDT today, Wednesday, I am told by former colleagues in the Intelligence Community Israel is now contemplating "pre-emptive action" against Iran's probable retaliatory attack!
If Iran does, in fact, strike back at Israel, it is expected to be very substantial and very much more serious than the last time.
Recall that not too long ago, Israel bombed Iran's Embassy property in Damascus, Syria and Iran "retaliated" with a bunch of old drones, old rockets, and just a few ballistic missiles.
It took six nations and a billion dollars to thwart most of that attack, but several ballistic missiles DID get through and hit military targets inside Israel.
This time, I am being told, it will be very much different. Iran is deadly serious, now.
As such, it is now almost guaranteed that the amount of damage to be inflicted upon Israel is such, that Israel will declare war and the two countries will go at it.
It is already well-known the Israelis have been looking for an excuse to openly destroy Iran's nuclear facilities, and this is likely to be that excuse.
US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said (again) today, "the United States will defend Israel."
If the US gets involved with the Iran-Israel situation then it is already known Iran will move to block the Strait of Hormuz and shut down 20-25% of the world's daily oil supply.
This will send oil prices to $300+ per barrel, bringing gasoline and diesel fuel prices at pumps here in the USA to over $10 a gallon.
At those prices, the United States economy will simply halt.
DJ, There are a lot of "unknowns";
-Will Erdogan join Iran/Palestine...maybe already some Turkish forces moving to the region via Syria ?
-Will Egypt do more than end any "deals" with USrael ?
-Russia has a lot of electronic warfare, air defense, intel...Very likely -FOR NOW !!!- they may want to stay out of a direct war...
-In man power/fighters "the wider region" may organize an army of several million fighters...
-Logistics for USrael may be a weak spot...In a major conflict getting in new supplies to replace used ones may be a problem...

Netanyahu is effectively running Washington Middle East policy.
He is running circles around Biden and Blinken.
He made this abundantly clear in the decision to assiassinate Haniyeh, the main Hamas interlocutor for a ceasefire in Gaza.
Biden/Harris are powerless to oppose him because of their need for the financing and votes of pro-Israel Americans.
Netanyahu knows this. He plays on the divisions among Americans, as he so expertly did in Congress last week. He perfected this game during the Obama presidency.

URGENT -- My former colleagues in the Intel community from my years working with FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force told me tonight "Iran - and its allies - will launch a large scale attack upon Israel within the next 72 Hours."
Tonight, there is also word from Intel Sources that a warning and threatening message sent by France from (its Embassy) in Tel Aviv, through the Lebanese government, to Hezbollah, that any response that extends deep into Israel will be met with a violent and crushing response against the party’s targets in the southern suburbs, Baalbek, and vital facilities in the capital Beirut.
Hezbollah’s response to the French mediation: We do not have time to de-escalate. Our response has not been subject to any rules since the moment of the assassination in the southern suburb, and what we have will be revealed in the coming hours.
For most keen observers, the fact that FRANCE chose to involve itself, and do so by conveying a threat, is a a stupefying example of the level of the arrogant bravado and shear incompetence within western governments nowadays.
Those same keen observers were quite taken aback by the fact that Hezbollah responded, and said what they said! No rules??? It also shows no fear.
MORE:
Intel has confirmed that a Senior Hezbollah Official has asked Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's brother, Maher al-Assad, to prepare the elite Syrian 4th Armored Division for the reopening of the Golan front and an extensive war. The Golan can be re-opened because Israel has repeatedly bombed Syria over the past two years, thereby voiding the ceasefire for the Golan Heights, which Israel took from Syria.
U.S. spy satellite observations confirm Iran has begun preparations for retaliation against Israel. Other intel has determined the retaliation is presently planned to take place after Friday's funerals in Iran. "The final order will be given by Khamenei."
EVEN MORE:
Given the activities in Iran, and the communications between Hezbollah and the Syrian Army, elements inside Israel are rapidly waking up to the reality that Israel may be defeated. Those elements are now forcefully pushing for Israel to make a "pre-emptive strike."
This situation grows worse by the hour.
LASTLY:
Hezbollah have turned off their cell phones and do not respond to the mediators who want to contain the escalation and prevent a response strike to the bombing of the suburb. Hezbollah closed all communication with all parties regarding de-escalation.
Russia says a full-scale war is the only way for peace in the Middle East and blames the United States. "The knot is tightening in the Middle East. Sorry for the innocent lives lost. They are but hostages of a disgusting state: the USA. Meanwhile, it's clear to everyone that a full-scale war is the only way to a shaky peace in the region."
The Pentagon also told me "We have rerouted and deployed 12 US warships to the middle east amid the seriously deteriorating situation."
So, ladies and gentlemen, "it" is about to begin.
DJ, BRICS+ wants "trade not war"-the US wants global trade in US$, "the rest" paying for US debts..."rules based order=stealing energy, gold..."...
Once the US/USrael "block" could not be beaten...my impression-Russia, China and India may get involved if the US "gets to much involved"...

"Ismail Haniyeh was a prominent politician and negotiator. <…> We condemn this politically motivated killing as we consider it as a blow to the possibility of finding a peaceful way out of this extremely dangerous and very critical situation," the Russian diplomat said.
According to Viktorov, the killing also "clearly became an attempt to draw regional players," especially Iran, in the current confrontation. He urged efforts to address the crucial problem of the confrontation by "putting an end to the Gaza conflict, securing a ceasefire as soon as possible, providing humanitarian assistance and making tracks toward resolving the situation by political and peaceful means" instead of delivering precision strikes in the region.

BREAKING: Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah announced in a live speech that the Lebanese war front with Israel is no longer solely about assisting the Gaza front, but an open battle with Israel that has entered a new stage.
Report: US White House Envoy Amos Hochstein deceived Lebanese officials into thinking Israel would not attack Beirut or its southern suburbs.
What else could one expect from a former Israeli army soldier?
A NEW SMO IS COMING
In a letter to the UN Security Council, stressing "a serious violation against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran", Tehran officially communicates, "we will authorize a SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION against the enemy."
A BEDROOM IN TEHRAN
A precision missile, launched outside of Iran, targeting a bedroom in Tehran at 2 A.M.
REALLY?
Every grain of sand in the Arabian peninsula knew Haniyeh was a Forever Target.
Obviously enjoying better protection in Doha than in the capital of the Axis of Resistance.
Theater of the Absurd facts:
- MAJOR embarassment: IRGC air defense does not even qualify as a joke.
- Extra embarassment: distinct possibility of serious on the ground Mossad intel.
- Undisputable helping hand from the Hegemon.
- Op planned even before Bibi’s 58 standing ovations.
Of course every grain of sand from the Gobi to the Sahara knows the Talmudic psychos want a TotalenKrieg against Hezbollah and Iran - but fought by the Americans.
Several red lines were trespassed simultaneously.
The Talmudic psychos believe they can get away with anything; after all they got the collective West to normalize genocide.
The time for repetitive, somnolent rhetoric is over. The Axis of Resistance will be forced to drastically improve their “death by a thousand cuts” game.
DJ, Iran failed to protect haniyeh...

Iran's ambassador to the United Nations has warned the world body of attempts by Israel to expand the scope of its genocidal aggression against the Gaza Strip to the entire region.
Amir-Saeed Iravani made the remarks on Wednesday in an address to an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council after Israel assassinated Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian Hamas resistance group, in the Iranian capital Tehran. The terrorist act followed the regime’s targeted killing of Fuad Shukr, a senior commander of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, in Beirut.
DJ, It is unclear how far we are from "major military action" and if there are still "parties" able to have talks to avoid further war...

All this trouble, triggered by the Assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the POLITICAL Leader of HAMAS, is made all the worse because the killing took place 750 meters from the residence of the President of Iran!
-
Top Iranian officials will meet today with the representatives of Iran’s regional allies from Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen to discuss potential retaliation against Israel after the killing of Haniyeh in Tehran, five sources told Reuters News Service.
In URGENT news, just breaking at 8:44 AM EDT today, the Head of the National Security Council in Iran just publicly stated: "Israel will be attacked from several fronts."
In additional Breaking news as of 8:48 AM EDT Lebanese media report an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon's Kafr Kila, in what would be the first attack since the assassination of Hezbollah's military chief in Beirut on Tuesday. So it appears Israel's murder-spree is ongoing.
In Israel, approximately 30 factories storing hazardous materials in northern Israel received closure orders from IDF, and those orders require the shedding of hazardous materials as is practical, so inbound missile strikes don't cause toxic clouds, or Haz Mat dispersal. This single ORDER gives credence to the fact that a major attack upon Israel is now likely and expected.
By all Intel assessments, the attack will come tomorrow, Friday, August 2, 2024, after the funerals in Iran.
UPDATE 9:28 AM EDT--
Iran’s FM has notified Qatar and Saudi Arabia that a military operation against Israel is imminent, cautioning them not to allow their airspace to be used against Iran.
Hal Turner Analysis and Opinion
In the last 48 hours alone, Israel has dropped bombs on: Palestine Lebanon Syria Iran Not a peep from the “international community” of course.

-
It's anyone's guess when or how this 'retaliation' will come. The April 13th drone and missile attack against Israel was highly telegraphed and limited, by all accounts. Likely Tehran will mount a more severe and less predictable attack this time, which could come at any moment, and probably in nighttime hours for a greater element of surprise.
DJ, Other stories claim a very well controlled -laser guided ?- missile was used. Also a day time attack may bring much more economic chaos...

DJ-netanyahu only can do the crimes because the US/part of NATO is giving USrael all the room...There is a lot of western navy activity in the eastern Mediterranean Sea...it needs ports...The logistics (air)ports links are essential both for USrael and US-UK-France..

If there would be a link between the USrael actions and Iran reactions USrael "intel" (mossad, shin beit) would be a major goal. Also the political centers that made the choice to go for murder-haniyeh was the Palestine negotiator for a cease fire in Gaza-will be attacked.

DJ, Lots of questions on this assessination...was a guided missile used or was it a controlled bomb? It looks like USrael may have had "help" in Tehran...
-
In april the main attack came from Iran soil. Low cost-slow flying drones were expected to be shot down. Shooting them down may have cost 10x+ the cost of the drones...
According to Or Fialkov, an Israeli military researcher, some of the missile types used by Iran were the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emad_%28missile%29 - Emad with a warhead of 750 kg, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghadr-110 - Ghadr-110 with a warhead of between 650 kg and 1000 kg, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kheibar_Shekan - Kheibar Shekan with a 500 kg warhead, and probably https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shahab-3#Shahab-3B - Shahab-3B with a warhead of 700 kg. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Iranian_strikes_against_Israel#cite_note-maariv-20240417-91 - [88]
DJ, There are some indications this time Iran may have forces close to the (Syrian) Golan Heights. Maybe also Hezbollah from the south of Lebanon may be involved.
This would give USrael much less time to react...
Another strategy is to "keep USrael waiting"....There have been limited attacks across the border between Usrael and Hezbollah...
The north of USrael in fact has been evacuated...a strategy could be to enlarge the evacuation zone. (Some claim hezbollah has to create a safety zone up to 10 kilometers inside USrael).

Netanyahu Warns Iran as Khamenei Orders Strike on Israel | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Iran has reportedly called a meeting with its proxies in West Asia to plan a response to Israel's attacks on Tehran and Beirut. The Supreme Leader is said to have ordered a "direct strike" on Israel despite Netanyahu's warning of a "heavy price". Can diplomacy avert an all-out war? Will the US defend Israel again? Palki Sharma tells you.
DJ, It is wise to look at "historic events" from a lot of different corners. India is working with Iran to get Russian energy -via Iran...Also Iran is a major link in Türkiye-Iran-Pakistan Europe/Africa-China-India trade...
-
The last months did show Houthis/Yemen with very limited means did control the Red Sea/West Indian Ocean. Insurance companies even did see increase of risks (and so premiums) for western shipping in the eastern Mediterranean...
Eilat has lost its function both as a port and for tourism...
Iran -allies-will not be blind for the logistics weak spots USrael has...Like Russia did win the UKraine war by destroying logistics also Palestine/Iran can beat the NATO proxy USrael...But Iran+ is NOT in a hurry...
--------
Is there a way out ? YES !
-USrael should go for a ceasefire on all fronts...
-netanyahu once had good links with putin...Russia/BRICS+ do NOT want war...
-BRICS+ can/will stop Iran if there is a peacefull way out...(and Iran will accept that as a victory !)
NATO still wants to stop BRICS+...a "greater USrael" in control of West asia fits those plans...
It is NOT achievable-but "politics" has lost contact with reality a few years ago...
However Russia-India-China may be in a position to tell USrael to "stop it"....Even with all possible NATO support USrael has NO chance if "Asia" turns against USrael...
So far Russia stayed out of the Iran-USrael conflict...it may change its policy when Russian trade via Iran with India (etc) is endangered. A major West Asia war is a risk for BRICS+. So BRICS+ will have to react to that...

Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad has ordered the Syrian army to prepare for a possible war in the Golan Heights.
Israel returned a threat to Iran: "In the event of an attack on Israel, Iran's gas and oil fields will be destroyed."
DJ, there are several conflicts;
-Iran wants revenge for murder of Iranian military and Hamas leader in Tehran...
-Syria wants all of Syria under Damascus control-including the Golan Heights...(were very likely USrael is responsible for the death of Druze children)
-IF NATO forces use "Greek-Cyprus bases" to support USrael-Turkish Cyprus may attack those Greek Cyprus bases...
Of course the UKraine war is not over, lots of wars in Africa...does the US want a coup in Venezuela ?
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un: "We will always stand by Iran and respond decisively to any threat to our ally. We warn the mercenary of global imperialism, namely Israel, against making mistakes."
DJ, North Korea has its own agenda-however may do "dirty work" for China, Russia...
The only "good news" is no major escalation started yet...So maybe somewhere there are still talks to avoid further disaster...
USrael/NATO should know "the world" is against them...still somehow "western leaders" may still not get it...

President Biden in a Thursday phone call with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged that the United States would help defend Israel in the event of reprisal attacks from Iran in the wake of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh's assassination in Tehran.
"The President reaffirmed his commitment to Israel’s security against all threats from Iran, including its proxy terrorist groups Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis," the White House https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/08/01/readout-of-president-joe-bidens-call-with-prime-minister-netanyahu-of-israel-7/ - call readout stated.
Alarmingly, Biden also informed the Israeli prime minister that he is readying new deployments to the Middle East. This even as the US Commander-in-Chief was essentially forced to bow out his campaign for reelection due to health and mental acuity concerns, including speculation over dementia.

Already according to https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/08/01/israel-hamas-war-iran-haniyeh-hezbollah-news/#link-CJHNUHZXM5GRVDTC5GZAJMKDPI - the US has assembled 12 warships in Middle East regional waters prepared to respond to any attack on Israel. Currently the USS Theodore Roosevelt and six US Navy destroyers are in the Persian Gulf. An additional five Navy ships are already patrolling the Eastern Mediterranean, including two destroyers.
to the Israelis: "Après moi, le déluge," which translates to "After me, the flood," is attributed to King Louis XV of France.
It is believed that the King said this to his mistress, Madame de Pompadour. The phrase means that he doesn't care about what would happen after his reign, implying that he expected chaos or disaster to follow. This attitude reflects a disregard for the future consequences of one's actions, focusing instead on personal or immediate concerns.
When the Prime Minister of https://x.com/hashtag/Lebanon?src=hashtag_click - #Lebanon affirms the "right of Lebanon and the Lebanese to defend their country", he is endorsing the resistance ( https://x.com/hashtag/Hezbollah?src=hashtag_click - #Hezbollah ) against https://x.com/hashtag/Israel?src=hashtag_click - #Israel , which still occupies Lebanese territories and violate the country's sovereignty.

WATCH: There is no future for a colonial genocidal Israel in the Middle East
Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Beshara shares his insights on escalating tensions in the Middle East following recent assassinations by Israel.
He discusses potential responses from Hezbollah and other key actors, the likelihood of a broader regional conflict, and the complex dynamics between Israel and the US.
Highlighting historical parallels and the persistent cycle of violence, Beshara offers critical perspectives on the future of Israel’s presence in the region and the role of international players in either exacerbating or alleviating the conflict.
Watch Beshara’s comments in full below:
DJ, In short FNL did kick France out of Algeria, the ANC ended apartheid in South Africa by enduring...time was on their side. Time now also is on the side of Palestine...

A screengrab from a Hezbollah drone video pinpoints the Haifa port area in northern Israel as "a strategic area with massive military, industrial and trade establishments".
Iran’s permanent mission to the United Nations says Hezbollah’s response to the recent Israeli assassination of one of its top commanders will be a much “broader and deeper” attack on targets.
DJ,

DJ, MS also only can share his ideas on the crisis in the Middle East...
The resistance groups have formed a joint military force for a response that includes not only the soil of israel, but possibly also includes American bases throughout the region — Al-Akhbar newspaper.
DJ, A basic question has to be "why"...what goal can be achieved...
-Syria may try to regain the Golan Heights-under USrael occupation since 1967...
-Iran revenge...
-BRICS+ weakening the west-because that west is going against BRICS+ were it can...
So a combination of goals may succeed where going for a single goal had no chance...
Russia sending military cargo planes to Iran-very likely trying to increase pressure on USrael/US...
DJ-A possible outcome (40% ???) may be USrael -in silence- going for talks...to avoid destruction. The idea of netanyahu was to get the US/NATO fighting Iran...however Russia, India, China do NOT accept any further major attacks on Iran...
The US may be "rebalancing"...from a US military perspective deescalation would be wise...

100 Meters To Toretsk⚔️ The Middle East Is Going To Explode💥Military Summary For 2024.08.03
DJ, a few points; (from minute 26)
-In Kiev by now over a hundred cars of "recruiters" have been burned
-US/UK telling their citizens to leave Lebanon
https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/u-s-military-spy-balloon-shot-down-over-syria - https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/u-s-military-spy-balloon-shot-down-over-syria or https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/u-s-military-spy-balloon-shot-down-over-syria ;
Iran or its proxies in Syria have, for the first time, shot down a US Military Spy Balloon over the Al-Omar Oil Field.
The balloon was aloft to protect the (unauthorized) US military base at the oil field; a base which the Syrian Government has repeatedly told the US it cannot have and must close and leave.
These platforms allow persistent high altitude surveillance around US bases in hostile territory. Its loss will limit the US militaries ability to identify and respond to threats nearby.
This shoot-down of a US Military Surveillance Balloon is a first for Iran or its proxies.
DJ, I do not know if replacing these kinds of balloons is very difficult. Maybe NOT the costs but getting both balloon and tech gear in the wanted position may be "the job"...
“ Reports stating Iran received the Murmansk strategic electronic warfare system from the Russian Federation.
Electronic systems have been deployed in several parts of the country! The electronic warfare system is based on satellite communications at a distance of 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers!!! It performs jamming and disruption operations and includes 4 Kamaz trucks with its collapsible mast; A trailer with a retractable antenna and an 8x8 Kamaz truck are used as a command vehicle and generator energy supply. “
Multiple Russian IL-96 cargo planes have been flying into Tehran operated by Sky Gates and Gelix Airlines, both of which transport military equipments.
The British newspaper The Guardian published an article about the American soldier it revealed in Gaza a week ago, blowing up a mosque and shooting randomly at civilian homes.
Legal experts in the United States told the newspaper that the American government must prosecute American citizens if they participate in war crimes
DJ, There may be a number of western/double passport holders participating in US/USrael/NATO war crimes...
Iran’s acting foreign minister had a phone conversation with Pakistan foreign minister, discussing the assassination of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh. Iranian official said that Israel has crossed a “big red line” of Iran and that Tehran will decisively respond.
Anti government protesters clashing with Police in Tel Aviv, Israel.
DJ, inside USrael the crisis must be getting worse by the hour...
-"military/fighters" attacking Palestinians/Arabs...but also anti-zionist orthodox Jews...
-NO PLACE in (small) USrael is safe...for weeks now
-Economic collapse is near-USrael surviving on western finance...(much more than UKraine)
-Iran and allies NOT in a hurry to start reaction...worse;
-Iran and allies preparing for a longer war...a.o. Golan Heights, south of Lebanon border may become war zone...
-USrael military losses in killed/wounded by now 10,000+
-USrael citizens trying to get out of USrael face more and more chaos...very limited number of flights left...
Goal of both NATO/biden wars is to "win time" untill november 5....at the costs of tens of thousends...SICK !

“We are facing an open battle on all fronts. A new phase has begun,” said Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of the Lebanese Hezbollah, after Israel assassinated the commander of the Al-Aqsa Flood operations—the Lebanese support front since October 8, 2023. But what does this mean? Is it a war that will start in all Lebanese regions inhabited by the environment supporting the resistance, the Muslim Shia, or is it a rolling Middle Eastern war with multiple players, including America and Iran?
Sayyed Nasrallah outlined the next stage, which aligns with Hamas’s demands since October 7 to open all fronts simultaneously. However, launching such a battle at that time would have diverted attention from Palestine and its just cause, potentially bringing the entire NATO alliance, led by America, to unleash a massive retaliation under the pretext of defending Israel.
However, today, nearly ten months later, the situation has evolved. Israel has simultaneously attacked Beirut, Tehran, and Damascus, assassinating the commander of the Lebanese Hezbollah’s support front operations, Sayyed Fouad Shukr, and Hamas’s political leader, Ismail Haniyeh, in the Iranian capital. Additionally, an Iranian advisor was killed in Syria, and the port of Hodeidah in Yemen was bombed a few days ago. Moreover, America has bombed the Iraqi Popular Mobilisation Forces centres in Baghdad.

DJ, In the Middle East North Africa region Iran, Saudi Arabia (KSA), UAE and Egypt all are in BRICS. Iran will be in contact with Türkiye, Pakistan, Syria, Iraq..Ethiopia may play a -limited- role in the Red Sea area...
The US/NATO is iall they can send to USrael-trying to keep the number of enemies as limited as possible...
Iran itself allready has a strong army-but welcomes specific high tech help -most from Russia.
DJ-My view;
-Very likely Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait etc want to stay out of a war...
-If "need be" they could even side with Iran...
-China, India see Iran as a "strategic partner"...
-BRICS+ members like Saudia Arabia, UAE "may have had enough" ...
In general "the rest" is seeing "the west" going for a neo-colonial war against BRICS+....
OPEC+ is behind Maduro in Venezuela...because also on that front the US is pushing for US$-energy links...
For countries like Saudi Arabia, UAE but also Malaysia, Indonesia etc. doing energy trade in the currency they choose is becoming "basic"...."The west"-going for war to restore energy-US$ global trade is pushing "the rest" towards BRICS+...

EU and Zelensky Cut Off Oil for Hungary & Slovakia to Send a Message as PM Orban Pushes for Peace
DJ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druzhba_pipeline - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druzhba_pipeline or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Druzhba_pipeline Russia still exporting oil via UKraine to a.o. Hungary...Hungary using that oil to provide UKraine with electricity and diesel...On EU orders UKraine now stopped that flow to punish Orbán for a peace initiative...
Hungary, Slovakia now increase trade with Serbia-maybe Turkstream may be an alternative ? Meloni/Italy talking in China to increase/restore "Marco Polo" trade links...
Türkiye-still in NATO-is more and more becoming a partner for Russia and Iran...
Türkiye wants to "limit" Kurds in Syria and Iraq-used by the US/NATO for western goals...So besides "finishing"US/NATO bases in Syria and Iraq another goal in the region is to "integrate" Kurdish forces in the Syrian/Iraq armies...(or finish them).
DJ-my view-the upcoming West Asia war is not only about "ending" USrael as a regional problem but also about dealing NATO "allies" (Kurds, IS/alquaida and other "moderate terrorists backed by NATO"...will the CIA airlift them to other wars ?)
The US knows it is in an impossible position both in Syria and Iraq...Most US military "are very unhappy" with netanyahu...
Very likely -by now- there may be talks on finding a way out of both UKraine and USrael wars...US/NATO would be totally blind/crazy if they would continue these wars...
So the big question may be is "how to sell it/PR" ..."biden did win peace" ? (By losing the wars he created...)

A NEW SMO IS COMING
In a letter to the UN Security Council, stressing "a serious violation against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran", Tehran officially communicates, "we will authorize a SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION against the enemy."
https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/syria-president-flies-to-moscow-second-time-in-one-week - https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/syria-president-flies-to-moscow-second-time-in-one-week or https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/syria-president-flies-to-moscow-second-time-in-one-week ;
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is flying to Moscow, Russia for the second time in one week; presumably to speak about the coming Iran retaliation against Israel, and the likely war that will follow.
The fact that Assad is flying in to see Russian President Putin has massive security implications. Clearly, whatever the two men will discuss is of such a nature that neither one wants even the possibility of the information being intercepted by clandestine services.
So what is it that is of such importance? Syria's role in the upcoming Iran retaliation?
What do to if war breaks out?
Or, if war is actually planned already, modifications to - or enhancements of - Syria's role?
None of this is a good thing for Israel.
The fact that Iran is taking its sweet time to move assets into place, to plan, and to coordinate with so many other groups/countries, indicates a massive endeavor, which does not bode well for the Jewish state.
THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM
I'm in Koh Samui/Gulf of Thailand/Southeast Asia/ASEAN - part of ASIA-PACIFIC - looking at West Asia, and like the whole Global Majority, waiting for the Axis of Resistance to make its move.
Buddhism tells us everything is impermanent - and all is illusion. Yet no, this is not an illusion. A gangrene is taking over our bodies - and the body politic. There is only one treatment: to cut it off, so the flesh will regenerate. Otherwise, it's death.
Today Yemen Houthis shot down another US MQ-9 drone over Saada,Yemen, marking the 8th MQ-9 drone that was shot down since October 7th.
The drone costs around $32 million dollars.
DJ, USrael claiming to be "in talks with Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia" on "a joined (air)defense against Iran"... Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen are in a war. Russia knows "Special Military Operations" and how to organize that...
Both USrael and NATO can not fight a long -high intensity- war...Very likely much worse than the UKraine war...Iron Dome for USrael will be overstretched maybe within hours...after that military/logistics will be destroyed...
Again USrael is a small country with limited military potential most of it already used in an almost 10 month war/genocide in Gaza. That same genocide-netanyahu- is dividing the west AND USrael...
An all out attack could bring back some support-NOT (yet) attacking is already doing very major economic damage to USrael and its western partners in crime...So why should Iran hurry ?
Again-the Gaza genocide is;
-Providing Hamas with lots of new recruits/support
-Costing USrael support..
-A military nightmare...
For the Gaza population these almost 10 months are hell on Earth...but a hell made by USrael/US and some NATO criminals...

DJ, Russia, China support Iran...that means they will support a "limited reaction" -when USrael then again -with or without NATO- goes for Iran "USrael" should/could now what kind of conflict they get into....
Already USrael NOW is in a multi-front war.
-The major war may be inside USrael itself...from protestors fighting eachother to stabbings...
-Hit-and-run attacks in Gaza go on destroying USrael morale; you can not win this kind of war. IF USrael murdered all the Palestinians even USrael may realize that is just mass murder/genocide NOT a victory...
-On the Lebanon border shelling/missile attacks get worse...
-West Bank a battle ground between extremist settlers and Palestinians...
-Houthi attacks go on...NATO unable to stop it...
In many ways the present situation for USrael is the worst since 1948...The major attack still has to come...
Some claim USrael/NATO may go for preventative attacks...On the direct frontlines USrael may allready be doing that...However a major attack on Iran has to come from the US...
A "surprise attack" is as good as impossible...
Biden/harris wants to have a chance in the november 5 US elections...a major war is high inflation...So the idea was to "limit the war"....
Jordan FM visited Tehran. My view -for now- some countries in the region go for neutrality...Jordan may shoot at ANY missile flying over Jordan...
Assad was in Moscow (I expect he may now be back in Damascus...). Syria very likely will be in a war with USrael.
A possible move could see Iran/Syria/Russia moving troops into Lebanon on Beirut request...It would further limit USrael military action...
DJ-The PRESENT crisis is already killing USrael...A S.M.O. Special Military Operation may go for;
-Demilitarization of USrael
-Finish (extreme) zionism
-A "neutral" USrael/Palestine
There are several conflicts coming together;
-Iran revenge/defending nuclear programm
-Syria retake Golan Heights
-Lebanon/Gaza stopping "a greater USrael"/NATO control over West Asia...
DJ-"Debby"may do a lot of damage in the US the coming week. US military capacity will be "hindered" by extreme weather...

Last month, the German army published a document asserting that it bases itself on the tradition of the Wehrmacht, the army of the Nazi regime that massacred and starved tens of millions of civilians during World War II.
Almost unnoticed by the public, on July 12 the Bundeswehr (Armed Forces) issued “Supplementary information on the guidelines for understanding and maintaining traditions in the Bundeswehr.” The document was signed by Lieutenant General Kai Rohrschneider, head of the Department for Operational Readiness and Support of the Armed Forces in the Defence Ministry.
It explicitly names top officers of the Nazi Wehrmacht as “tradition-forming” and “identity-creating” for the Bundeswehr, today’s German army.

- We express Russia's readiness for full cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran in regional affairs.
- We condemn the assassination of Hamas’ political bureau in Tehran.
- There is no doubt that the perpetrators of such a crime seek to increase tension in the region.
DJ, Iran has become a major trade/distribution partner for Russia. A.o. energy to India goes via Iran. Also Iran drones have become a major Russian weapon in UKraine...
Iran and Russia may find they share the same enemies...
Iran does need either time to get to use new Russian weapons or Russian specialists..(very likely they may get both...)

For those wondering what will happen first:
https://x.com/hashtag/Iranian?src=hashtag_click - #Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei ordered the armed forces from day one to "prepare for retaliation and prepare for attack and defence".
This clearly indicates that Iran will strike https://x.com/hashtag/Israel?src=hashtag_click - #Israel and expects Israel to strike back & Iran will respond.
Iran won't respond with slow drones, but mainly with ballistic missiles that can penetrate the defences of the US, UK, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt in a first strike because they are beyond the interceptor level.
-
https://x.com/hashtag/Hezbollah?src=hashtag_click - #Hezbollah is looking for a target, independently from Iran. The moment there will be a target available, Hezbollah will hit Israel and is expecting a possibility of Israel hitting back.
This is where we are at.
https://x.com/hashtag/Iran?src=hashtag_click - #Iran and it’s allies are ready to surprisingly hit, not necessarily together, the Axis of Evil led by https://x.com/hashtag/Israel?src=hashtag_click - #Israel and its allies.
Not today.
Israel can remain on high alert and exhaust its resources and people’s psychology.
Why should we expect difficult days ahead?
Because https://x.com/hashtag/Iran?src=hashtag_click - #Iran will retaliate for https://x.com/hashtag/Israel?src=hashtag_click - #Israel 's aggression against an Iranian guest in https://x.com/hashtag/Tehran?src=hashtag_click - #Tehran .

Then Iran will hit back even harder.
There is no sign that this exchange will stop.
It’s now clear the Zionist billionaire class has bought both US political parties and erased all red lines on Israeli criminality
Driving for war with Iran, the Adelson-Saban axis ensures the State Dept serves as Israel’s lawyer, and the US military as Israel’s reserve force
-
DJ, two other main developments;
-Since Iran does not want war but integrate into BRICS+/EurAsia trade BRICS+ is repositioning itself. USrael -like UKraine- is just another western/NATO proxy defending western colonialism...
Russia is sending weapons/electronic warfare gear to Iran. Iran needs to train people to work with that...
-Another Islamic country is attacked (after Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan) so there is also a religious aspect...All kinds of international Islamic groups now make up their minds..."is the west attacking Islam?"
For that matter the more time Iran has the better it will get organized internationally...both via BRICS+/SCO and religion...
So-DJ my view; USrael will attack Iran...in what is supposed to be a "preventative attack"...

Lack of social security; Extreme weather destroying both houses and jobes, pandemics=less/no income-may become a major factor making the US weaker...

netanyahu-for decades-wanted a war with Iran...Since USrael can NOT beat Iran the idea was the US/NATO would do most of the fighting...netanyahu "hoped" als Arab countries would be willing to fight Iran. For that matter China creating a basis for Saudi-Iran talks was a disaster for netanyahu...
The US would love to restore a pro-western dictatorship "democracy" in iran like they had untill 1979...However a war with Iran -also for decades- from a military perspective was seen as unwise...For that matter both Afghanistan-2001 and Iraq 2003 indicated a war with Iran would be far worse..."not worth the investments"...
So in his latest visit to the US netanyahu believed to have created enough support in the Us to get the US fighting Iran.

-Both climate and pandemic problems are getting worse...Denialism does not help...
-Pumping up the US economy by exploding debts may have "peaked"...soon the main costs for the US budget may be interest...
-Iran/BRICS+ want to "do trade not war"...and by doing so replace the US/west as leading economy, undo the US$ as global currency...
Is the stock-crisis part of a BRICS+ economic war ? Will OPEC+ -also supporting Maduro in Venezuela- increase pressure by decreasing oil production-further increasing inflation in the west ?
Again-my view-the main front may be the economic front.
"The west/G7" is breaking up..."stronger than ever NATO" is in crisis over losing in UKraine, the Gaza genocide...(for NATO the only thing worse than stopping that genocide may be NOT stopping it !) ...
So -again- time is on the side of BRICS+/SCO etc.. NOT on the side of the "west"...
An Iran -all out- attack on USrael may reunite the "west" ...so limited attacks via proxies may be a better alternative driving the west crazy...
UKraine by international standards is already bankrupt...USrael soon may follow...Western "loans" to these proxies NEVER can be repaid...not even via mining/stealing resources...
So slowly the west is already breaking down..

Arab sources reported that if the Iran-Israel conflict escalates, Pakistan plans to supply Iran with Shaheen-III ballistic missiles.
The Shaheen 3 missile is a two-stage, solid-fueled medium-range ballistic missile in development by Pakistan. The missile is reportedly capable of carrying both nuclear and conventional payloads to a range of 2,750 km, which makes it the longest range missile in Pakistan’s strategic arsenal.
It was first publicly displayed during a military parade in March 2016.
The Shaheen 3 is road-mobile and reportedly mounted on a Chinese transporter erector launcher.

Simultaneously, the state secret police said that several tailors had been detained for making Russian flags. The investigation is underway.
Amid this crackdown, Nigeria's Chief of Defense Staff, General Christopher Musa, cautioned that it is a "treasonable offence" to fly the flags of foreign countries.

The Israeli Defense Force has decided they will engage in PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKES against Hezbollah in Lebanon, BEFORE Hezbollah and/or Iran can strike Israel back for the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh!
Earlier today, I reported COVERT INTEL to my subscribers from the White House Situation Room wherein Biden and Senior Administration Officials were told "The war will begin tomorrow . . . ." meaning Wednesday.
In that story, I wondered aloud how they could be so certain, since it is Iran that decides when they attack Israel for the assassination that Israel perpetrated in Tehran.
One of the options which I outlined in that COVERT INTEL story was the possibility that the US KNEW the start date because Israel would attack pre-emptively.
Now, it appears that assessment was right on the money.
I can confirm now (11:24 PM Tuesday night) that Israel IS going to pre-emptively attack Hezbollah in Lebanon. As such, there is now no doubt in my mind whatsoever, that "the war" will begin Wednesday.
DJ, It may be USrael/US plan attacks on Hezbollah in the south of Lebanon...Waiting must drive "US-rael" crazy by now...also doing very major damage...
My view; claims the US would be willing to lift ALL sanctions against Iran IF Iran would (for now) not attack USrael suggest there may be talks...
Iran seems to be backed by Russia, Türkiye, Pakistan, China, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen (a.o.) ....Most of the world does see the US as the aggressor...
Iran should not "overplay" its support-may be in talks with (a.o. Russian-maybe also Saudi ??? ) diplomats...In april "limited reaction" resulted in USrael not taking Iran serious...
The goal of an Iran reaction has to be USrael stopping murders...most countries can agree on that.
A non-military reaction-BRICS+ coordinated- could hit both USrael and the US/NATO harder...The US more and more is seen as the main target...both UKraine and USrael just US proxies...
A US/USrael attack on Iran would be terrible further PR...further proof of western aggression...

DJ-I am trying to learn more on Bangla Desh... https://tass.com/world/1826041 - https://tass.com/world/1826041 or https://tass.com/world/1826041 ;
Bangladesh’s army commander, Waker-uz-Zaman, has confirmed that an interim government is being formed. He called for stopping violence and promised that the new government will investigate all the deaths during the protests.
Students took to the streets in various cities of Bangladesh in early July, demanding the abolition of job quotas for relatives of participants in the 1971 war of independence.
The situation in the republic has escalated, with demonstrations growing into riots. Anti-government protests flared up again in the capital city of Dhaka and other Bangladeshi cities on August 4. According to the Daily Star newspaper, at least 10,000 people have been arrested since the outbreak of riots.
At least 350 people have died in the protests, https://www.afp.com/en - AFP said, citing local police and medics. Meanwhile, the India Today television channel cited unofficial sources as saying that the number of victims may range from 1,000 to 1,400.
Also https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/world-war-3s-decisive-battle - https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/world-war-3s-decisive-battle or https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/world-war-3s-decisive-battle ;
I think it’s clear the proxy wars in Ukraine and Taiwan are likely to end in favor of BRICS+.
That’s why I expect NATO & Friends will make their last stand to scuttle the emergence of a multipolar world order and preserve the US-led world order in the Middle East.
The Middle East is on the precipice of its largest war in generations.
The region is roughly divided into two different geopolitical groups.
The first is the US and its allies—Israel, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and others.
(Though Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE are members of BRICS+, their true allegiance is with the agenda of NATO & Friends).
DJ, Türkiye very likely may JOIN Iran ! Jordan, Saudi Arabia go for neutrality...
The second group describes itself as the Axis of Resistance. It consists of Iran, Syria, the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in Lebanon, several Palestinian groups (including Hamas), and an assortment of militias in Iraq. Russia and China are standing behind the Axis of Resistance.
If there is a regional war in the Middle East, it will undoubtedly be between these two groups.
In the context of World War 3, the US and its allies represent NATO & Friends, and the Axis of Resistance represents BRICS+.
DJ, SE Europe is "on the move" ; Italy wants better relations with China/Africa...Hungary/Slovakia are against the UKraine war...NATO is very un-united over USrael...
The ZH article may reflect very basic misunderstandings...The US is getting more and more isolated. The west is facing economic collapse...
The situation is trending in favor of the Axis of Resistance and BRICS+. If those trends continue—and I think they will—sooner or later, NATO & Friends must make a fateful decision.
They can either cede the region to BRICS+, which would seal the creation of a multipolar world order, or launch a full-scale war with the Axis of Resistance as a last-ditch Hail Mary attempt to scuttle the emergence of a multipolar world order.
There is no guarantee that NATO & Friends would win such a war. I think it’s likely it would end in disaster for them. That’s probably a big reason it hasn’t happened yet, despite no shortage of hostile intentions.
DJ...what is wrong with compromise ? Diplomacy ? Giving others room ? The west keeps going for a neo-colonial agenda most of the "west" by now realize has become outdated...
Confrontation politics is destroying the west...We-the west-would be in a much better position if we had avoided the UKraine war...there was and is no need to include UKraine into NATO unless you want to make NATO a global colonial army...

The Palestinians will continue to be tortured and killed. And https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/smotrich-might-be-justified-and-moral-to-cause-2-million-gazans-to-die-of-hunger-but-world-wont-let-us/ - all their families - in fact - every Palestinian in Gaza https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/smotrich-might-be-justified-and-moral-to-cause-2-million-gazans-to-die-of-hunger-but-world-wont-let-us/ - shall be killed :
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich implies he believes that blocking humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip is “justified and moral” even if it causes 2 million civilians to die of hunger, adding however that the international community won’t allow this to happen.
“We are bringing in aid because there is no choice,” Smotrich says at a conference in Yad Binyamin hosted by the Israel Hayom outlet. “We can’t, in the current global reality, manage a war. Nobody will let us cause 2 million civilians to die of hunger even though it might be justified and moral until our hostages are returned. Humanitarian in exchange for humanitarian is morally justified, but what can we do? We live today in a certain reality, we need international legitimacy for this war.”
As no one, Smotrich claims, will let the Zionist kill 2 million civilians by hunger at once, it must be done slowly. By now some 10% of the once 2.3 million people in Gaza are likely already dead - killed by bombs or by the consequences of the war the Zionist are waging against them.
Moshe “Bogie” Ya’alon, a former Chief of Staff of the IDF, who also served as Israel’s Defence Minister, is https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/08/05/the-1948-irgun-re-born/ - quoted by Alastair Crooke as saying this.
“When you talk about Smotrich and Ben Gvir: They have a Rabbi. His name is Dov Lior. He is the Rabbi of the Jewish Underground, who intended to blow up the Dome of the Rock – and before that the buses in Jerusalem. Why? In order to hurry up the ‘Last War’. Do you [not] hear them talking in terms of the Last War; or of Smotrich’s concept of ‘subjugation’? Read the article he published in Shiloh in 2017. First of all, this concept rests on Jewish supremacy: Mein Kampf in reverse”.
Smotrich and Ben Gvir are sitting right in the cabinet. But has any western country even blocked their travel or entry or sanctioned them?
Why is this allowed to happen?
Back in February Tarik Cyril Amar found this explanation.
https://tarikcyrilamar.substack.com/p/the-gaza-method - The Gaza Method The West’s evolving blueprint for controlling a poly-crisis world by mass-murdering and subjugating the poor, the rebellious, and those deemed “superfluous.”
The non-paywalled full text is available https://x.com/TarikCyrilAmar/status/1818580601219293405 - here .
The West is in decline and it has only one method left to delay it - brute force.
All of the above means that the West is left with one option: the hardest of powers, if the dumbest, too: military force. And that is where the Gaza Genocide precedent fulfills its most important function as method-setting and method-“normalizing.” In a very concrete way, too: For since the 1990s (at the latest), Western militaries – with the US in the lead, obviously - have been thinking intensely about fighting in cities. ... You see where this has been going, right? To Gaza. Gaza is not the first but, for now, the worst instance of a doctrinal body of pseudo-technical and rationally vicious thought coming into practice: How to subdue the cities of the Global South (and the poor in general, make no mistake, Northerners), by all and any means. And for this type of very-near/present future warfare everywhere, humanitarian law as we know it – with all its immense flaws – is still too “soft,” too restraining. The same holds, of course, for our notions of crimes against humanity, including genocide.
He concludes:
Gaza is a method. A Western method. Fascist, Zionist, apartheid, sadistic Israel is a pioneer, a trailblazer into yet more evil to be done from those above to those below. That is why those above will shield Israel. They are shielding themselves and their future deeds.
I was in doubt about this theory when I first read it. But by now I think that the elite are really planing like this. It is the only explanation that makes sense and it also consistent and fits with their increasing endorsement of pure fascism be it in Israel or in Ukraine.
DJ, An "elite" willing to get millions/billions of "non-elite" killed to save their own position...Genocide by war, climate collapse, pandemics...
I rather NOT believe such ideas...However it explains the inaction to stop climate collapse, pandemics...supporting criminals in UKraine, USrael (etc).
Again; History should learn us combining pandemics with wars is a terrible idea...

UKraine,
Some "special forces" did invade Kursk-oblast/Russia. Very likely "free russians/belarus" mercenaries...maybe also western "volunteers"...The idea may be distract Russian forces from other frontlines-reality is Russia has that many reserves those "invaders" will be "over" within a week...
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/08/ukraine-sitrep-incursion-towards-kursk.html - https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/08/ukraine-sitrep-incursion-towards-kursk.html or https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/08/ukraine-sitrep-incursion-towards-kursk.html ;
In 1943 the German attack on Kursk was launched https://twitter.com/MarkAmesExiled/status/1821191194182848531 - for a similar reason - to divert Russian forces from attacking in the Donetsk region. It ended in utter defeat.
Even pro-Ukrainian commentators are aghast about this obvious waste of men and resources:

The situation in the Pokrovsk direction is critical, with defenses in several areas collapsed and yet to stabilize, largely due to a shortage of personnel. Diverting nearly a brigade to launch an assault on Kursk Oblast, which lacks strategic sense, borders on mental disability.
Well, General Budanov, the head of the Ukrainian military intelligence and reportedly responsible for this operation, is https://maratkhairullin.substack.com/p/budanov-and-the-rules-of-fools?r=3upj8b - known to be a fool .

DJ, My view-since the conflict is in basics an economic one-and between US/NATO and BRICS+ & allies/global south the main response may be economic...NOT military...(13)...
Both Russia and OPEC+ are involved. The US/west pushing for regimechange in Venezuela...
netanyahu wants the west to fight Iran...So Iran may be getting ready for a major war-while still trying to avoid it...US stupidity-and the EU giving up on its own foreign policy-did put NATO in an impossible position...
For BRICS+ "war is not solving any problem". The major problem being the US still going for uni-polar US global rule...by now a "sick joke"!
US debts are going up high speed, western economies are weak. Most western leaders are "very unpopular" and end up fighting eachother...For that matter the west is its own enemy....BRICS+ may give some extra push...
DJ-"defense" means another started agression first...NATO is aggressive NOT defensive...Going for regime change all over the globe. Going only for the interests of a small elite...More and more "people wake up"...

DJ, Trying to "see what is happening in Kursk-Oblast"-Russia both weeb Union (WU) and Military Summary (MS) may help;
-WU mentioned Russia was de-mining the borderzone north of Sumy to start an offensive inside UKraine in that direction. UKraine used that oppertunity to "surprise" Russia-sending in "elite" (neo-nazi "kraken"?) forces with the best weapons, training...
-MS mentioned other UKraine forces in urgent need for support in the east of UKraine -again- are frustrated...They needed those forces there NOT in Kursk-oblast Russia...
-MS also mentioning the UKraine forces may be 30 kilometers away from the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant...maybe a goal ?
-Another goal MS believes may be to reopen talks on another basis...
DJ-There are claims budanov (UKraine secret/special service) organised the attack in Kursk...NATO "partners" did not know of the planned attack...However the scale of the attack -thousends of trained soldiers, hundreds of the "best" western weapons- and very likely the "intel" may point that "some western groups" (CIA/MI6) may be running the operation...
There have been talks between "the west" and Russia without UKraine getting involved...(a.o. the recent major prisoner exchange). So 'zelenski" may try to "be of influence"....In fear the west and Russia make deals over UKraine without the zekenski junta...
DJ-Russia did claim "it is in control" over the Kursk "intrusion"...both MS and WU indicate Russia was unprepared....There must be major Russian forces nearby-preparing for an attack on Sumy...but ??? unable to defend the border ???
Russian air/artillery superiority will finish this Kursk "intrusion"-but it takes more time...

The Duran-long video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRHRon9ATvU - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRHRoN9ATvU or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRHRoN9ATvU ;
Iran's Impending Retaliation - Seyed Mohammad Marandi, Alexander Mercouris & Glenn Diesen
https://x.com/hashtag/BREAKING?src=hashtag_click - #BREAKING Leader of Yemen Ansar Allah Movement(Houthis) Sayyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi:
The response to the Israeli aggression that targeted fuel tanks in the port of Hodeidah is inevitable and is coming
The delay in the response from the axis in the face of the Israeli escalation is a purely tactical matter and aims to have an effective response on the enemy
The enemy knows that the response is inevitable and that there is no turning back from it, and it is met with preparation supervised by the Americans
There is nothing that can divert the decision to respond from intimidation or pressure
DJ, Deterrence no longer works for USrael/NATO....An outcome of the UKraine(NATO) attack on Kursk-inside Russia-with the "best" western weapons may be "Iran proxies" getting "the best" Russian/BRICS+ weapons...
Iran wants to deter USrael from further agression without hurting their (trade) partners...A major war will hurt "the global south", India, China with energy costs (a.o. pharma/medication linked) also "exploding"...
US Central Command: F-22s arrive in our area of responsibility to confront Iranian threats.
Twelve F-22A Raptor stealth fighter jets from Alaska, have landed in the middle east.
The fighters, belonging to the 90th Fighter Squadron equipped with external fuel tanks are in the region to “boost” security amidst Iranian threats of retaliation.
DJ, The US is sinking into a netanyahu-made swamp that is further speeding up the fall of the US as a major global "player"...No serious country wants to have much to do with genocide-supporters...
According to Syrian Journalist: "In the past few hours, Russian and Iranian military cargo and transport planes were spotted heading to Syria, loaded with advanced weapons. An important development that could reshape the military landscape in the region."
DJ-USrael now seems willing to go to august 15 talks on a "cease fire in Gaza"....
DJ My view; "the rest of the world" has had enough of "the west" only making deals to break deals...
The "rest" of the world is trying to find ways to "decrease" any links with the neo-colonial, genocidal west...USrael, UKraine are seen as NATO against "the rest" trying to enforce western rules-US$ as enforced colonial currency...
The west "power base" is exploitation of the rest-and "the rest" now can "break free"...Western economies will collapse...the outcome of "confrontation politics" instead of diplomacy...DJ-And I blame biden for this act of blind stupidity !

In order to hide these losses, the French authorities are using PMCs (private military contractors), namely the GEOS and “Amarante”. Russian military sources report that there are seven recruitment points in France, namely Paris, Bordeaux, Cannes, Lille, Lyon, Marseille and Strasbourg. They’re then sent off to Poland, from where they move into Ukraine. Russian ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) assets regularly track them, waiting for a larger concentration of troops, after which they relay this information to missile brigades, which then fire long-range weapons at them.
Hundreds (if not thousands at this point) of NATO personnel have been neutralized in this way and the French have been particularly affected. However, https://infobrics.org/post/40769 - the Kiev regime’s treatment of these foreigners leaves one dumbfounded as to why they’re willing to die for it, with many of them treated as “lesser humans”.

Another "story" is an USrael/US mercenaties "move" into Yemen to find/destroy missiles...Russia would have informed the Houthis...they killed this "task force"...I did see claims however discussion on the video-"proof" mentioned the bodies of the KIA were from Russian/Wagner forces in Mali...

DJ, Africa may be testing ground for bio-warfare for many countries...
from the JN update also;
-Does Russia send S400/S500 air defense to Iran (with Russian staff ?) A claim is Russia may be stopping major escalation from both Iran and USrael (to limit risks of nuclear war).
-Scott Ritter his house was "searched" by the FBI. JN-clear intimidation to silence him...Scott Ritter is much less a "foreign agent" then AIPAC or "the bidens" role in UKraine..
-Trying to "spin" the attack on trump as "coming from Iran" only raises more questions on who was behind it...The amount of "mistakes" statistics indicate as "unbelievable"...so who -inside the US-wanted trump murdered ? Also "the timeline" raises questions,,,

Prof. John Mearsheimer : Will Russia and China Back Iran?
DJ, lots of good info-the Duran also doing a good job in trying to "get a view" on possible events...
My view;
Two sort of conflicts; Military and economic warfare...
Another point; Since "Europe" did outsource their foreign policy to the US it may become more and more a conflict between the US and the rest...
Without US "support" there would not be war in/with UKraine, USrael (etc.).
Some "new news"; -USrael killed another Hamas leader in Lebanon
-An UKraine drone was hit by Russian air defense and crashed near the Kursk nuclear powerplant damaging electricity supply to the plant (limited damage).
-More attacks on US/NATO illegal bases in Syria/Iraq.
-UK did send surveilance aircraft over Gaza for months-provuding USrael with intel...
https://x.com/hashtag/BREAKING?src=hashtag_click - #BREAKING American Col. Douglas MacGregor:
Approximately 70 Israeli special forces, along with a number of American mercenaries, were tracked the moment they infiltrated Yemen and were ambushed and killed.
Russia through satellite seen Israeli infiltration and informed Iran who Immediately informed the Houthis. Houthis set an ambush and Killed all of them.
DJ, so it may be real ???? Has a special military operation gone wrong ? (Pepe Escobar claimed Russia stopped an USrael F35 with -possibly- nuclear EMP "plans" on its way to Iran a few months ago....
-Lots of questions on what is the use of UKraine/NATO sending "its best troops into Kursk-oblast"...Was the Kursk nuclear powerplant the goal ? DJ-If that was the goal another sort of (much faster/stronger) "operation" would be needed...
Was it P.R. -just like earlear incursions into Russia-also using "Russian volunteers" (may be French...Foreign Legion ?)?
Even if it was meant to get Russian forces away from the east of UKraine; It is not working !
NATO must have been involved given the larger scale of the operation...The Duran mentioned the German-december 1944 Ardennes Offensive...it did cost the Germans that much forces/fuel it speeded up the end of the war in Europe...
The Kursk operation by UKraine is a form of "self destruction" by UKraine -Russia may have not expected this "half-suicide"...Russia now contained the UKraine/NATO forces in a pocket and is destroying it...
The "big picture"; USrael/netanyahu want the west/US to fight Iran...Some "western crazy leaders" do want to restore western control over Asia... But in a military sense NATO is exhausted after ever lasting wars...NATO is running out of allies and close to breaking point itself...
In the economic sense BRICS+ could break the west because of western insane confrontation/sanction politics...If you sanction 60% of the globe, sanction Russia, Iran, China-then you are pushing for EurAsian integration...
NO !!! BRICS+ has been denying "the west/US" a "big war" and will continue to do so !
YES !!! BRICS+ will push NATO forces out of non-NATO territories...Push out western currencies used as economic weapons...
The BRICS+ strategy is working very well for BRICS+"rest of the world" -so why change that ? BRICS+ has major jobs on currencies and international trade...How to "grow" without "exploding" because there may be 50+ countries on the BRICS+ waitinglist....
DJ-BRICS+ may go for "future member-membership"-without voting rights in the first 5 years or so...Also make more demands on currencies-further limiting the US$...
A.o. Saudi Arabia, India still -in a way- deny there is a choice to be made....The US wants to destroy BRICS+...so you can not make deals -just like that- with the US/west...
Western trade with BRICS+ members may have to be made in BRICS+ currencies NOT in western ones...
So interesting BRICS+ meeting in october Kazan-Russia...

“Committing these massacres confirms beyond a shadow of a doubt its efforts to exterminate our people through the policy of cumulative killing and mass massacres that make living consciences tremble,” it said in a statement.

Iran
Ali Shamkhani, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, said the Israeli government’s goal was to thwart ceasefire negotiations and continue the war.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Nasser Kanaani said Israel had again shown it isn’t committed to international law as he condemned the attack as genocide and a war crime.
He urged immediate action from the UN Security Council and said Israel’s actions in Gaza were a threat to international peace and security.
Qatar
The attack constitutes a “horrific massacre and a brutal crime against defenceless civilians”, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
It called for an independent UN fact-finding mission to investigate attacks on shelters for displaced Palestinians in Gaza and demanded that the international community oblige Israel to ensure their protection and uphold international law.

As soon as there was talk of negotiations and a possible ceasefire from the US, Qatar and Egypt, Netanyahu blew it up. He prefers to take advantage of the large US forces in the ME and provoke all his enemies into a wider war.
If Netanyahu stops the war, he will fall. If he continues to provoke a wider war, he will survive. The fate of Israel is in the hands of a man fighting for his own survival.

BIGGEST American War Crime Cover-Up Of The Vietnam War (Warning* Mature Audiences Only)
What happens when a group of men are let loose in the wilderness with no oversight and a simple instruction: kill anything that moves? Tiger Force is the answer. An elite recon group of the Vietnam War whose war crimes were covered up by the US government for decades.
In this video, we look at the atrocities committed by the men of Tiger Force as they descended into barbarity in the jungle of Vietnam, and how the US government tried to hide it from the world.
Origins of Tiger Force
Tiger Force was a long-range reconnaissance patrol unit of the 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry, 101st Airborne Division. It was formed in November 1965 by Major David Hackworth to, quote, “out-guerrilla the guerrillas.” He put it more frankly to another reporter. “I want 40 swinging dicks,” Hackworth had said, men who were free to use their own judgment, skill, and drive to conduct unrestrained warfare in the toughest areas of Vietnam. It usually numbered about 45 men at any one time, but people would rotate out every few months. For example, 120 different men served in the Tiger Force between July and December 1967.
Usually, Tiger Force would be dropped into an operational area and given effectively free reign to achieve their goal. Military command maintained minimal oversight of their activities - so long as they racked up a body-count, the brass were happy. Many soldiers embraced the freedom and lack of bureaucracy that Tiger Force provided, but the absence of accountability or oversight would lead the men of Tiger Force down a dark path.
Arriving in Song Ve
The events that would enshrine them in the history books began to unfold in summer 1967 when the Tiger Force was sent into the Song Ve Valley.
The Song Ve Valley was an agricultural hotspot that was allegedly a hiding place for the Viet Cong (VC) and North Vietnamese Army (NVA). TTiger Force was instructed to clear out remaining residents of the valley to a nearby refugee camp and then sweep the area for VC soldiers and food caches. The valley was declared a ‘free-fire’ area - shoot first, ask questions later. Civilian casualties were still unacceptable in theory, but enforcing that condition was a whole other matter.

The US Government Hid This About The Vietnam War (Warning* Mature Audiences Only)
By 1968, the Vietnam War was going badly for the Americans. The Tet Offensive launched by the North in January 1968 had strained America’s military might and shattered US morale at home and abroad. Desperate to reclaim the initiative, the US launched a series of counter-offensives to push back the Communist enemy.
One target of this counter-offensive was Quang Ngai province, specifically the village of Son My. Son My was made up of several smaller hamlets including My Lai. For the sake of simplicity, we’ll stick to the more famous name for the whole village. My Lai, nicknamed Pinkville by the Americans because of its Communist sympathies, was believed to be a hotspot for Viet Cong (VC). US Intelligence claimed that the VC was active in the area and the village was essentially a Communist outpost.
In March 1968, Task Force Barker was assembled to deal with My Lai. The Task Force was made up of soldiers drawn from two companies: Company C, 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry Regiment and Company B, 3rd Infantry Regiment, 11th Brigade, 23rd Infantry Division. For simplicity’s sake, we will call them B Company and C Company. There was also an A Company but their role in events was relatively minimal.

DJ; US/NATO puppet zelenski made clear what the idea was of the "Kursk offensive"; bring war to Russian soil...That "idea" is NOT a strategy...The scale of the "incursion" is relatively major for what is left of the UKraine army...
If it is an "all or nothing game" soon UKraine will learn the best trained soldiers/modern weapons are gone in Kursk/Kypck...
Does nazi-NATO care ? No; slavs killing eachother...In the Middle East Jews killing Arabs...in the nazi-ideology all "sub human"....
There are lots of questions on who was behind the "right wing UK riots"...Does the "uni-party" play games...Extreme right wing "protests" organized by types with USrael links...(sometimes even using the USrael flag). In protests against these "right wing" groups demonstrations-using also Palestine flags-show up...
Is this the 2024 "style" of "total war"?
Maybe the "good news" is more and more people get the point war is NOT an answer ! We have other priorities seeking urgent attention...Pandemics-Climate collapse soon may be seen as "a cluster" very much linked with eachother...Climate collapse=pandemics...
To solve that problem we can NOT waste trillions of US$/£ or € on wars making matters worse...We have to end a racist view on global population...
The best options we have is limiting damages...and we can do more if "the world unites"...
DJ, Maybe it is a sort of "balancing"; wars on one side climate/pandemics on the other...

The west may start realizing they keep most of the wars going by sending/selling weapons...Going for oil, gas, uranium, gold...Stealing it via western mining companies...
At the end war is a form of selfdestruction...
"Driving an armoured car into a "hut" in a glimpse he sees a woman holding a child-just a second before crushing her"...There is NO excuse EVER for organized mass murder called "war" !

On 11 August 2024, the IAEA team that there was an explosion at the plant, and that one of the cooling towers had been set on fire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaporizhzhia_Nuclear_Power_Plant_crisis#cite_note-109 -
The NATO "UKraine" forces were stopped 20-30 kilometres from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kursk_Nuclear_Power_Plant - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kursk_Nuclear_Power_Plant or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kursk_Nuclear_Power_Plant ....
So "eventough zelenski is winning" (western "media") he may try to go nuclear....
The stupidity of the western story is shocking...It may not be very likely that the attacks so far could cause anything major-nuclear powerplants have radio active materials you want to keep inside a controlled area...
Reminder: Each Iron Dome Interceptor missile(Tamir) can cost up to $100,000, and they're being used to shoot down $300 Katyusha rockets..... and missing most of them.
DJ, A few reminders on the BRICS+/rest war with the "west"/US...
-BRICS+ wants trade not war...US wants NATO expansion...
-US "military spending" is higher than the combined military spending of the next NINE !!!! countries ! Most of it ending in corruption....
-High cost-high tech western weapons are a success in 2001 Afghanistan, 2003 Iraq...in 2024 they fail....
-The western wars since 1991 resulted in a western debt crisis...Over 60% of the global population is facing "western sanctions"....
The trillions wasted by the west on wars are NOT used for infra structure, healthcare, education...An outcome is "the west" now less able to deal with pandemics then they were in 2000...(May be part of the reason SARS-1 was stopped in 2003...SARS-2/CoViD 19 became a pandemic...).
US "lab leak stories" indicate the US is using bio-labs for bio-warfare studies...Maybe not in a safe way to limit costs...
At least 5 rocket impacts in Nahariya. The Iron dome failed to intercept them, amid israel’s high preparedness.
DJ, So far most of the US-BRICS+ wars are via proxies...I do not see any reason why Iran itself would give netanyahu the war he wants...
The US-BRICS+ war is mostly an economic conflict. The US NEEDS the world to do international trade in US$...otherwise the US will collapse under its own debts....
So my view; the major front in this war is in the economy....OPEC+=BRICS+....The US has lost its economy-weapons...

DJ, My view on the US/NATO - BRICS+ conflict;
-In basic it is an economic conflict. US NEEDS to keep the US$ as global currency so other countries pay for US debt....It is existential for the US !
-The conflict has the EU fighting against its own interests ! The US is willing to push its debts to Europe to save itself....European "politics-for-sale" still sacrifice European (a.o. energy, trade) interests for US goals....(But most Europeans may not support that much longer !).
-War is just one aspect of a far larger-economy- conflict.
-Global economy/"rest of the world" moving high speed towards BRICS+ to get out of poverty and exploitation by the west...(France has 0 gold mines yet still large gold reserves...Africa has lots of gold mines but no reserves...French mining companies stealing gold, uranium in Africa. Puppet corrupt leaders did allow this for decades...).
-In wars the weak spot for western proxies like UKraine, USrael is supplies, logistics.
-Time is on the side of BRICS+. USrael/UKraine not only ran out of soldiers but also out of weapons, finance...
-BRICS+ is working on plans to deal with US-rael...(and NATO keeping that proxy going).
For USrael;
-Red Sea port Eilat is over both as a port and for tourism...
-Mediterranean ports may face major attacks from Hezbollah (and still Hamas from Gaza...)
-Electronic warfare could STOP USrael air control....

Alastair Crooke : Is Middle East War Inevitable?
DJ, Western politics has fallen into the hands of complete idiots....DJ-my view-this could offer hope...
-West running out of weapons fast
-West running out of finance fast...
So western political idiots may want war but find out both the weapons/armies are unable to get into any major war nor is there financial room to pay for it...Wars are very expensive!
After 312 days of devastating war, the Palestinian resistance is able to launch rockets with a range of 50-120 km (towards Tel Aviv) from Khan Younis, which the Israeli occupation forces have repeatedly attacked, claiming to have destroyed all resistance battalions.
DJ, NATO is very divided over USrael...only the US fully supports the USrael genocide...
Also in the NATO proxies division may end the war...
-In UKraine sirsky claiming it was zelenski who wanted the "best" forces fighting on a peace of land in the Kursk-region...So Russia is now taking much more-strategic-land in the east of UKraine while the "best" UKraine/NATO forces are getting destroyed in the Kursk region...
-In USrael min.of war finally realizing USrael can not win this multi-front war...Even with Iran not yet starting its own attacks...
Damages for USrael must run in the billions per month...People want to leave USrael-over 10% of its population may have moved to Cyprus, EU-UK-US....
So-US weapondeal of 20 billion for the coming years simply will NOT do the job...USrael is unable to be in "never ending wars"....The strength of USrael always was in short "shock & awe" wars lasting less than one month...The longer the war the less likely USrael can claim a victory...
So...you can talk...or you can fight than talk...
-The EU may need trade with BRICS+, still the major (in)direct buyer of Russian energy...(a lot of it via India, Türkiye in the form of diesel etc-refined products).
-Even the US buys Russian uranium...needs deals with BRICS+ -even if no longer in US$....
DJ-If the western goal was to restore the US$ as international major currency then the west already has lost the conflict...
In a "moral sense" "western values" turn to be PR...The "west" does NOT care about human rights, fair trade etc...
DJ-In a moral sense "pandemics" are "acceptable" for the west...even if !%+ ends up with chronic disease/Long CoViD etc...Only profits matter....
Time for change if humans want to survive !

Pepe Escobar : Will China Help the Palestinians?
DJ Some major points;
-China diplomacy united different Palestinian groups...the west/USrael then killed haniyeh in Tehran-Iran-the main negotiator for Hamas....So China is "very angry" over this western slap in the face...
-Iran itself (like North Korea) is producing lots of very modern weapons...So they have "limited weapon needs"...Since Russia also is in a war-with-the-west Russia in the best position to send those weapons Iran may need (a.o. Electronic Warfare, S-400/S-500 air defense, hypersonic missiles).
-The western coup in Bangladesh not only insulted China but also India...
-Outcome is a "square" in Asia; Russia-Iran-India-China more and more working together to limit US insanity...
-The 58 standing ovations for criminal netanyahu in US congress outside the west may "close doors" for the west for a long time in most of the rest of the world...It demasked the west neo-colonial agenda...
-In the Kursk/Kypck region UKraine/NATO forces kill Russians...again...Pepe Escobar; UKraine may have a part of Kursk-oblast under control smaller than the seize of Lisbon...And very likely Russia did know of the UKraine plans-allowed it-because it is destroying UKraine/NATO...

DJ, Maybe the "major war news" is "no war news"....
-Iran itself NOT attacking USrael
-USrael keeps attacking all of its neighbours "in selfdefense"
-UKraine suffering very heavy losses in the Kursk-region...
-Russia gaining lots of strategic positions in the east of UKraine
-Sudan, East Congo and other wars ignored
-US/NATO still trying regime change in Venezuela
The "major news" may be in diplomacy, economy...increase of energy prizes, inflation in the west...US getting more and more isolated and seen as the "global motor behind wars"....
Some expect US elections could bring change....DJ-My view; BRICS+ going for its own agenda...the Kazan BRICS+ top meeting https://unitingtocombatntds.org/en/get-involved/events/brics-summit-2024/ - https://unitingtocombatntds.org/en/get-involved/events/brics-summit-2024/ or https://unitingtocombatntds.org/en/get-involved/events/brics-summit-2024/ october 22-24 will be a ceremonial one in many aspects...
Lots of talks, agreements are made NOW ! The Kazan-top is the end of that process...
A trend is BRICS+, OPEC+, SCO etc all working together...
De$ization takes time...some contracts are multi year...New agreements may not even mention the US$ any longer...Latin America-Asia trade, Africa-Asia trade will grow and use local currencies...
Several European countries slowly increase the weight of national interests...EU-ropean interests and US interests are not always the same...
US-debts has to stay in the US...already may be to much of a burden for the EU....
Germany going for the "a yacht/UKraine diver blew up Nord Stream" insanity may be looking for ways to distance itself from the lost UKraine military disaster...
In 2008 both Merkel/Germany and Sarkozy/France were AGAINST !!!! UKraine joning NATO...Most UKraine citizens also NEVER wanted to join NATO or even the EU....
Still the Brussel war promotion team in NATO/EU -with US pressure- got us into the present major crisis....

Leaked Hillary Clinton Emails Revealed NATO Killed Gaddafi to Stop the formation of a United States of Africa. https://x.com/hashtag/GaddafiFilesPart1?src=hashtag_click - #GaddafiFilesPart1
Of the 3,000 emails released from Hillary Clinton's private email server in late December 2015, about a third were from her close confidante Sidney Blumenthal. One of these emails, dated April 2, 2011, read in part:
-
Hillary Clinton's Main Objective As Secretary Of State Was To Get Muammar Gaddafi, Open The Migrant Floodgates From The African Continent, And In Doing So Create The Worlds Largest Slave Market, Still Going On To This Day.
A Few Decades Ago Migrants Were Families, We All Remember Seeing Children And Grandparents In The News Reports. Not Anymore. What Currently Comes Out Of Libya Are Men Aged 14-40. That Is An Army.
The Evil Is Beyond Comprehension, All To Rob Nations Of Precious Resources, Control Them, And Limit Their Development And Prosperity.
The International Criminal Court Is Completely Controlled By Western Intel Agencies And Governments, And Needs To Be Completely Dismantled And Rebuilt From The Ground Up, Or Replaced Entirely.
Not quite. It was Zionists, same club Hildabeast and NATO belong to.
THE BRUTAL MURDER OF GADDAFI BY ZIONIST CENTRAL BANKERS…
https://t.co/u2VPb0oAol - Democracy or dictatorship - which is better: please do not give a hasty answer.
It really depends.
For example, under the "dictator Gaddafi" it was:
Libya had no electricity bill. Electricity was free for all citizens.
There was no interest rate on loans. Banks were state owned and lending to citizens was limited by law to 0%.
Gaddafi promised that his parents would not get a house until everyone in Libya had one. Gaddafi's father died in a tent.
All newlyweds in Libya received 60,000 dinars ($48,000) from the government to buy their own home and start a family.
Education and medical care were free in Libya. Before Gaddafi, only 25% of the population could write; under his leadership, 85% could.
If Libyans wanted to live on a farm, they got a house, tools, seeds, and livestock for free.
If there was no possibility of treatment in Libya, the government provided treatment abroad.
When a Libyan bought a car, the government financed 50% of the price.
1 liter of gasoline cost $0.14.
Libya had no external debt and its reserves were $150 billion ().
Since some Libyans could not be hired after school, the state paid an average professional wage until they found employment (this contingent, by the way, proved to be the most revolutionary).
Some of Libya's oil sales were directly linked to the bank accounts of all Libyan citizens.
A mother who gave birth to a child received $5,000.
40 loaves of bread cost $0.15 dollars.
Gaddafi undertook the largest irrigation project in the world, called the Big Man Project, to supply water to an entire desert country (and not just his own).
He also dreamed of toppling the dollar from the top of the financial world....
Then western "democracy" came to Libya. And bombed the country back to the stone age. And the same 150 billion dollars that were in Libya's accounts were looted and appropriated by the Western "democracy".

New leads in Nord Stream investigation: several Ukrainians in the spotlight
A year after the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea, it is still not clear who was behind the sabotage. Yet there are increasing indications that the attack was carried out by a Ukrainian team. Joint investigations by several European media, including NOS and Nieuwsuur, led to the identification of two people involved. According to sources close to the German criminal investigation, there is a growing conviction that the perpetrators came from Ukraine.
The joint investigation also sheds new light on the route taken by the sailing yacht from which the attack was allegedly carried out. The media also spoke to new eyewitnesses who saw the crew of the vessel.
Never before has there been an attack on European soil with such extensive material damage. The pipelines, which transported Russian gas directly to Germany, cost billions of euros. This is why, for almost a year now, German, Swedish and Danish intelligence and investigation agencies have been trying to find out who was behind the attack. The Dutch military intelligence service MIVD plays a major role in this.
At the centre of the mystery is the Andromeda - a nondescript sailing yacht that caught the attention of the German police. In September of 2022, the vessel was rented for a few weeks by a Polish letterbox company. The official suspicion is that an unknown team of five men and a woman applied explosives to the pipelines, working from the Andromeda at least a week before they exploded.
That theory is further confirmed by the discovery of powder residue on the boat's table. The residue shows HMX, a powerful explosive used mainly by the military, which works under water. It matches powder residue found on the pipeline.
Ukrainian men
European media investigations now reveal that 41-year-old Ukrainian businessman Rustem A. is behind the Polish company that paid for the lease of the suspect vessel. Little is known about the Kyiv-based man except that a company of his has been the subject of a money-laundering investigation, and that he is decidedly pro-Ukraine. The German criminal investigation team also has the man in its sights, according to sources. A. and his lawyer refused to answer any questions. A team of journalists visited his home, in the course of which he threatened them.
The booking was allegedly made from the email address of a second person, a 28-year-old man from Mariupol, Ukraine. Copies of two forged passports were sent in with the reservation form. He works for a company providing facility support to the shipping industry. German sources close to the investigation confirm that the Ukrainian is a prominent person of interest, but say they do not know whether the man was used or really involved. The man denies having sent the email.
Earlier, it became clear that one of the two fake passports shows the photo of Valeri K., a Ukrainian soldier. Conclusive evidence that he was actually involved was not found on the Andromeda: the German police compared DNA from his son, who lives in Germany, with traces on the boat, but there was no match. To whom the photo on the other passport belongs is not known. What is certain, sources say, is that phones which were used on board the boat were later also used in Ukraine.
MIVD
The role of the Dutch MIVD (Dutch Military Intelligence and Security Service) in the investigation has been crucial. While German forensic investigators were looking into the sailing vessel and its crew, MIVD received new information about the potential operators behind the attacks. Earlier investigationsby NOS, Nieuwsuur and German media revealed that an MIVD source from Ukraine passed on information bout an imminent attack three months before it took place.
According to the source, an element of the Ukrainian army was planning an attack from a harbour near Stockholm. They would travel to Sweden using fake Eastern European passports, and rent a boat there. The sabotage was to take place on 19 June, under the guise of a diving expedition to a shipwreck. The Ukrainian army leadership was said to be aware of the plot. Based on the MIVD information, the CIA warned authorities in Ukraine not to carry out an attack.
Later, when an attack had taken place in September, the MIVD received new information from Ukraine. MIVD learned that the attack had been carried out by a team of six Ukrainian special forces. According to a source, the team had rented a boat in Rostock. This put German investigators on the trail of the Andromeda,
Should it turn out that a team from Ukraine is indeed involved, it would be a very uncomfortable outcome for the West. "Any deliberate disruption of the European energy infrastructure is unacceptable", the European Commission said the day after the attack . Ukraine receives military support from Western European countries and is keen to join NATO. For this reason the investigation into what happened is shrouded in extreme secrecy.
Route reconstructed
The investigation by NOS and Nieuwsuur, among others, has also made it clearer which route the Andromeda sailed. After leaving Germany, the vessel was sighted a week later in the southern Swedish port of Sandhamn. Several eyewitnesses saw the sailing yacht there. This makes it even more plausible that the boat was at the locations where the sabotage took place, as it had to sail more or less past them.
One of the eyewitnesses in Sandhamn had a minor run-in with the six-member crew as they were unwilling to help another skipper who wanted to dock. "They looked a bit like soldiers, that is, tough people, reasonably well educated, relatively young."
The skipper said he could not identify the Slavic language they spoke. As different eyewitnesses have different accounts of the language they spoke, their nationality can't be determined with complete certainty.
Meanwhile, German sources close to the investigation emphasise that although everything points to Ukraine, there is still no conclusive evidence. There is little doubt about the role of the Andromeda, but the possibility that Russia used Ukrainians to carry out an attack cannot be completely ruled out.
Apparently, people are also not fully convinced of the credibility of the MIVD sources, which nevertheless also clearly points to Ukraine. The MIVD is still investigating the facts and does not want to draw any conclusions yet, Dutch intelligence sources say.
DJ, Nordstream pipelines had a meter thick concrete coating...They are on the seafloor...So you need tons of underwater explosives...So you need a larger (navy)ship to get the explosives in the "right" places...
The above "NOS" story is a phantasy/lie...however now again "news"..."zelenski knew of the attack"...because NATO is kicked out of UKraine...
"In reaction to our recent findings on UKraine involvement in the bombing of Nordstream (and shooting down of MH17 ) we can no longer support UKraine"...NATO pull back strategy ?

Since last fall US forces have recorded over 100 rocket and drone attacks on their positions in Iraq and Syria by Iran-aligned militias or Syrian national militias, depending on the side of the border. While most of the time these incidents pass without casualties, some observers have long suspected the Pentagon attempts to keep the number of wounded or injured US personnel from these attacks under wraps.
The Pentagon belatedly https://www.arabnews.com/node/2567318/middle-east - revealed Tuesday that a total of eight US troops were wounded in a drone attack that struck a US base in northeast Syria last Friday. Spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said that all eight were treated for traumatic brain injuries - the common term for potential head injuries when a person is too near a blast - as well as smoke inhalation.
DJ, lots of stories of NATO military killed in wars in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) and UKraine "died in traffic accidents"....Polish volunteers killed in UKraine may be 1000+
The "UKraine Kursk offensive" radio communication picked up by Russia notices hardly any Ukraine language...lots of English, French, German, Polish...
-Some of the "photo proof" of how far "UKraine forces" moved into Kursk region turned out to be photo-shopped...No doubt a lot of other video's of UKraine forces gaining ground are made inside UKraine....
Qatari PM Al Thani spoke earlier with the Acting Foreign Minister of Iran, Ali Bagheri to notify him of the ongoing Ceasefire Negotiations today in Doha and its Progress.
DJ...my view; Iran is working closely with its BRICS+ partners...BRICS+ wants economic growth NOT war...
Both some in the US and USrael may get desperate for war...While Europe also wants to avoid another major war close to its borders...
For Europe the war neo-cons/netanyahu wants will mean even more refugees, economic problems/disaster and social unrest...
Very likely some European leaders finally wake up and realize US wars are BAD for Europe !
The trillions wasted in avoidable wars are needed in healthcare, climate plans etc...
Most western leaders should be seen as war criminals...Very likely an international court NOT under western control may go for legal steps...
For most NATO members all (former) leading politicians could end up in international courts for war crimes. After World War Two there were several international courts ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_trials, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Military_Tribunal_for_the_Far_East but also lots of other former pro-nazi countries had their own trials).
If we want to stop wars we need to get rid of a pro-war political "class" of criminals...

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

The "Kursk" operation is yet another nazi-NATO crime..."Wars as investments" is nazi-insanity promoted by leading US politicians....Russia seems to have "contained" a large area where NATO forces can move in to...Get overstretched, logistics blown up and then the "fighters" will be dealt with...

Palestinians have blown up an Israeli-operated gas field in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Gaza City. Numerous explosions and a raging fire, visible for miles, is seen.
-
The United States has been enabling this Genocidal slaughter of Palestinians, by continuing to arm and to fund, Israel.
Within the past week, the U.S. sent 6,500 new Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) bombs to Tel Aviv, for Israel to continue its slaughter, and perhaps even go to war with Iran. Below is an image from video showing a portion of those new bombs . . . . most to be dropped on civilians in Gaza.

The United States is complicit in the Genocide being undertaken against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
American political officials should be Indicted at the International Court of Justice, for being accomplices to Genocide. They should be put on trial at that court, and dealt with to the fullest extent of the law as established by international War Crimes treaties.

The Health Ministry in Gaza has said that it detected the first polio case in the besieged enclave, hours after United Nations officials called for a pause in the fighting to enable a vaccination campaign for children against the virus.
In a statement on Friday, the Health Ministry blamed the “difficult” conditions in Gaza – including the spread of sewage water in the streets, shortages of medical supplies and lack of personal hygiene products due to the Israeli blockade – for the emergence of the virus in the territory.

China has now banned the export of metallic antimony, a critical material for military applications like high explosives, missile propellants, and infrared guidance. The US military industry heavily relies on China for its antimony supply.
Antimony is a chemical element; it has symbol Sb and atomic number 51.
-
China's export ban will severely impact both the US military and the Western solar industries.
Beyond military uses, antimony is essential for producing photovoltaic cells and glass, vital to the Western solar industry.
China controls 32% of global antimony reserves but dominates 80% of production.
While Bolivia and Russia also have significant reserves, it would take time and technological effort for the US to establish new production lines elsewhere. Time the U.S. doesn't have given its attempts to start World War 3 over the Ukraine-Russia and the Israel-Iran conflicts.
If the U.S. is successful in triggering WW3, we will simply not be able to manufacture explosives and missile propellants. We will find ourselves without weapons to engage in such a war, and also be unable to defend our own land.

BEIJING, August 15. /TASS/. China introduces the system of licensing for exports of antimony, related technologies and equipment from September 15, the Ministry of Commerce and the Main Customs Administration of China said in their statement.
"Introduction of export control in respect of goods related to antimony and super-hard materials is a commonly acceptable international practice. The relevant measure does not focus on a specific country or region. If the export goal conforms to rules, exports will be authorized," the statement reads, cited by the Xinhua news agency.

OPEC+ in fact is already BRICS+ controlled. US debts used to be financed by the rest of the world-keeping them poor...
DJ-my view; The rest/BRICS+ slowly is taking away from the west "the means" for western criminal wars....Not providing energy, raw or finished materials, or buying western debts....
The "US led west" did get away with extortian for centuries....Neo-colonialism is based on terror and racism...and the rest of the world-via BRICS+- has found away to get rid of western criminal rule...

BOLD MOVE: China Squeezes Western Militaries by Banning Exports of Key Material Used for Weapons
DJ, How the western war-industry thinks they will be able to pruduce more weapons ? Again OPEC+, lots of basic materials and a lot of finance no longer is under western control...with the west sinking deeper in debt facing higher prizes for many goods...
DJ, netanyahu wants the west to fight Iran for the interest of USrael...The west may go that way if Iran -in reaction- attacks USrael direct/open...
So far Iran is refusing to go that way...Very likely Iran is in close contact with both the region and BRICS+...Türkiye, Pakistan, Afghanistan may be "more or less" on the side of Iran-for now. Syria, Iraq, Lebanon as well...
Russia providing air defense + staff...Chine, India may increase trade with/via Iran...in part because that route now still is open.
An open/direct attack of Iran NEEDS support of its allies. From Yemen Houthis to Hezbollah...There are supposed to be talks in Qatar on a Gaza cease fire...An Iran attack would undermine those talks and put the blame on Iran...
DJ-Of course Iran is part of BRICS+/global south/rest of the world in conflict with the "west"...USrael-like UKraine-are NOT the real enemy...The real enemy is the US....
So-YES Iran will play games with USrael/NATO...it may attack in a very major way when they are ready for it...The goal is not only "ending zionism"...but also to "end western imperialism"...
Iran may not even fire the first shots...Hezbollah could destroy the Ben Goerion Airport, Haifa port etc. With Iran/Russia bringing down USrael/NATO planes attacking Hezbollah positions...
BRICS+ by now may realize "the US led west" only accepts puppet leaders and western "rules based order"-imperialism...
Russia, Iran, China know war very well-hate it...try to limit/avoid it if possible...but they will fight if need be...

https://southfront.press/western-media-tries-to-blame-ukraine-for-nord-stream-sabotage/ - https://southfront.press/western-media-tries-to-blame-ukraine-for-nord-stream-sabotage/ or https://southfront.press/western-media-tries-to-blame-ukraine-for-nord-stream-sabotage/ ;
Written by Lucas Leiroz, member of the BRICS Journalists Associations, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, military expert
Western investigations into what “really” happened in the Nord Stream explosion appear to have been concluded. Instead of a complex intelligence operation using appropriate naval equipment and sophisticated sabotage tactics, it is believed that it was all just the result of a “drunken evening” when Ukrainian officers simply decided to destroy the Kremlin’s “funding source” through a rented jet. The ridiculous Western narrative on the matter shows how the mainstream media has lost respect for its own audience, treating the public as complete idiots.
According to a recent https://www.wsj.com/world/europe/nord-stream-pipeline-explosion-real-story-da24839c - article published by the Wall Street Journal, the Nord Stream sabotage operation is entirely Ukrainian responsibility. The act was allegedly the result of a poorly thought-out plan by drunk Ukrainian officers during a celebration of the progress of Kiev’s troops on the battlefield – following the 2022 Russian strategic retreat, which the media reported as a “Ukrainian victory”. According to the WSJ, drunken Ukrainian military decided to launch a bold operation to harm Russia economically, targeting gas pipelines.
The newspaper says that the operation cost no more than 300,000 USD, and required only the saboteurs and a rented yacht. The WSJ, citing alleged sources who “participated” in the operation, claims that the scheme was bold but simple and easy to implement, requiring no advanced technical knowledge or big support from government agencies.
-
In 2022, https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/us-official:-uk-and-us-navy-capable-of-conducting-nord-strea - Douglas McGregor , former advisor to the US Defense Secretary during the government of Donald Trump, stated that in the entire world only the US and UK navies would have the capacity to carry out this type of attack. At the time, the main narrative of the Western media was that the Russians had sabotaged their own infrastructure in a false flag operation. Macgregor criticized this argument, stating that the US and UK are the only countries whose navies have this type of operational capability.
“You have to look at who are the state actors that have the capability to do this. And that means the [UK’s] Royal Navy and the United States’ Navy <…> I think that’s pretty clear,” Macgregor said at the time.
What the WSF does seems to be typical of Western practice since the beginning of the conflict. When a crime is committed, the first action of the Western press is to blame Russia. If the narrative does not prevail, long and obscure “investigations” are carried out. And then the last mechanism used is to blame Ukraine, excluding Western responsibility. This has also been done in cases of crimes against Russian individuals. For example, when journalist Daria Dugina was murdered, the first Western action was to claim that Moscow had eliminated her in a false flag operation. Months later, the https://infobrics.org/post/36780/ - New York Times published an article claiming that Kiev had carried out the attack alone, without Western participation.
-
It seems clear to any serious analyst that what happened with Nord Stream was the result of a very well thought out and executed plan, not just a drunken conversation. Certainly, the operation was planned for months and performed involving the intelligence services and armed forces of several countries at the same time. In the same sense, it is absolutely useless to think that the goal was to harm Russia economically, since at the time Germany was already sanctioning Moscow, and relations between both countries were gradually waning.
The goal of the Nord Stream https://infobrics.org/post/36701/ - sabotage was to harm Europe itself. Given the inevitability of a Russian victory, the US wanted to ensure that Germany would never reestablish ties with Moscow in the future. Berlin was condemned by the US to deindustrialization and economic decline by having its cooperation with Russia sabotaged. The target was not Moscow, which continues to easily sell gas to other countries through alternative routes, but Germany itself – and the whole of Europe.
DJ, The WSJ-and lots of other western propaganda outlet claim is that stupid it is insulting...The pipelines on the seafloor had concrete 1 meter thick "coatings"...

Around ten people were killed, including two children, and five were wounded by an Israeli strike on a residential building in the town of Nabatieh city in southern Lebanon, the National News Agency reported on August 17.
The victims were all Syrian citizens, the official Lebanese news agency said, adding that a final toll of the strike would be announced after DNA tests were conducted to determine the identity of the victims.

MOSCOW, August 17. /TASS/. The Russian aerospace forces delivered strikes on four militant bases located in remote mountainous areas of Syria, the deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria (a division of the Russian Defense Ministry), Capt. 1st Rank Oleg Ignasyuk, said.
"Over the past two days, the Russian Aerospace Forces delivered strikes on four bases of militants, who left the Al-Tanf zone and took refuge in hard-to-reach areas of the El-Bishri ridge," he said.
The Syrian armed forces continue their reconnaissance missions in desert mountains of the Deir ez-Zor province, the Russian military official added.
