Pakistan is the Wild Card. The Yanks thought that deposing Imran Khan and installing a president known for his corruption would have Pakistan under the US boot heel. However, Pakistanis have long memories. They have not forgotten Obama's Kill Tuesdays, and the hundreds of civilians that he droned to death. They have lined up with the strongest of the BRICS partners and appear to be solidly behind Iran. I wonder if USrael will start bombing them?
It is good to see that Yemen is getting back into action again.
USrael are not having it all their own way. Erdogan, with the largest army in NATO, is voicing hostilities towards Israel right now, but not before Israel had voiced hostile intentions towards Turkey. Who does USrael actually have in the middle east? Syria, with its leader on shaky ground; the UAE, which could be bombed to oblivion at any time; Kuwait, ditto; perhaps Bahrain, where the populace are gagging to get rid of the king, and that's about it.
Israel will not reveal its IDF losses in Lebanon but a report last week said that during the week they buried 900 IDF soldiers. Max Blumenthal claims that Hezbola has the upper hand in Southern Lebanon, in spite of the death and destruction that the IDF is raining down on its people. So, USrael is not in a good position.
And then there is the UK. Starmer is on the skids, but the two main candidates to replace him are both rabid Zios, so British Labour is just shuffling deckchairs on the titanic, and will continue its sycophantic support of USrael.
Thanks Joy - good to hear from you. There is a lot of anger among Iranians and Palestinians about the UAE's collaboration with Israel. The country will not be highly regarded in the region once this is over. With regard to Israeli losses, it is rare for the Zionist authorities to allow the report of a death but from what I am seeing every day Hezbollah is taking its toll of IDF men and machines in Lebanon. No doubt there is much happening in his regard that I am not aware of. With regard to the coming leadership challenge, I hear that Andy Burnham may try to enter the race. But he will need to obtain a seat in parliament first. I don't think he is a Zionist, is he? But nothing will change whoever is elected leader.
"so British Labour is just shuffling deckchairs on the titanic."
Very good metaphor, to spin it further...
The main problem of the western democracys maybe is, that all politicians knows exactly this fact and their main focus is to construct very comfortable lifeboats only for their own purposes.
So True. Ours take up lucrative post-politics positions in either the defence industry or with fossil fuel companies. They construct their lifeboats here by overspending on offensive weaponry, which inevitably is sent to the latest US war, or by refusing to properly tax fossil fuel companies, while giving them billions in subsidies.
Iran is doing an amazing job with its videos and is winning the meme war. YouTube banned them, they are still on instagram at explosive media.
The oil price is being heavily manipulated. The question is how much longer this will work. Physical stocks are declining.
Israel wants to continue the war to destroy Iran and take a chunk of Lebanon as part of its greater Israel goal.
Trump is playing for time, I don’t know why. And can Trump even agree to a peace deal? Iran is making deals on the gulf. And the blockade on the blockade is very leaky.
Thanks Ray - I also get the feeling that the oil prices are being manipulated but this policy has a limited shelf life. Trump may be playing for time because he doesn't know what else to do - without losing face. He is constantly comparing himself with 'weak' Biden so he must be careful that he doesn't face similar accusations. I agree, Iran's Lego videos are classy.
it seems American rulers didn't compute well the position of the Saudi since the younger guys are in charger around Ben Salman and Ben Fahran. If it was easy to eliminate Ben Salman and his circles it had probably been already done.
Pakistani seem to follow Americans when it suits them relatively to India and otherwise stick strong to own interests, as Afghan wars suggests.
a possible escalation would be strikes on vessels on the Iran-Russian sea route. It would be risky, doable with proxies in Caucasus. It would upset a lot of people but Americans have been doing all kind of silly things in recent years.
A question to Lucifer: In an unthinkable case of a crashed down Airforce One fully loaded with all these high ranking officials, money making oligarchs and important MSM journalists flying back from China to USA... will the world get better or worse?

Or they're becoming a member of the EU parliament... Or EU bureaucracy...

"Trump is playing for time, I don’t know why"
Distracting from the Epstein issue?
Satisfying the Zionist donors?
Enrichening the Trump clan and the billionare elite?
Weakening Asia and Europe?
Controlling the world energy flow?
...
Maybe, Trump is a real wise man.

A question to Lucifer: In an unthinkable case of a crashed down Airforce One fully loaded with all these high ranking officials, money making oligarchs and important MSM journalists flying back from China to USA... will the world get better or worse?
Thanks as always, Hans
Unfortunately, there are many more of their ilk waiting in the wings, so I would guess that the world will stay more or less the same.
