In my opinion the big events of the last week have been taking place on the Ukrainian battlefields. One should not overlook the fact that for the first time since the start of the SMO the President of the United States has said that Ukraine is losing and will lose the war. The fact that the President in question is Donald Trump presumably explains why this extraordinary admission is not being taken as seriously as it should. Nonetheless, in my opinion, its significance should not be underestimated.

For the rest, the collapse of the 'diplomacy' over the course of the last week ought to put beyond any further question the terrifying combination of incompetence and nihilism that is the hallmark of the 'leaders' of Europe.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world continues on its way: China has run a $1 trillion trade surplus, India and Russia have embraced, the US has published a revolutionary National Security Strategy document (for the record, I do think it is revolutionary) and the Arab ...

I’ve been writing about Iran for decades. I’ve focused on its efforts to become a nuclear power, which the United States and Israel have found worrisome, to say the least. I was always aware that something bizarre was going on because every time I wrote about Iran for the New Yorker experts the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency invariably depicted the country as being no more than five years away from the bomb. I understood that the large Israeli nuclear arsenal had been built with covert help authorized in secrecy by US presidents and had been stored for decades in underground bunkers or deployed in strategically placed underground silos. The weapons always posed an immediate danger to Iran’s security, even its existence.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
