Escobar's take

Context.

Two main reasons.

1. Bibi showing his 'New Middle East' map at the UN completely erasing Palestine.

2. Serial provocations at Al-Aqsa, including a storming by hundreds of Israeli settlers.

Al-Aqsa is a definitive red line - for Palestinians, for the Arab world, and for the lands of Islam.

Yet there's WAY more.

The dead giveaway is the Israeli rhetoric of a 'Pearl Harbor'.

Everyone knows what it means.

Project Ukraine is dead.

So the Masters of the Universe need a new war ("on terror" ) to set West Asia on fire.

Peaceful West Asia means reconstruction for Syria, redevelopment for Iraq and Lebanon, Iran and Saudi Arabia as part of BRICS 11, the Russia-China strategic partnership respected and engaged all across West Asia.

The Northern Sea Route is already in effect, directly undermining the Suez Canal.

One of the key themes discussed at Valdai at the highest level was de-dollarization.

All of the above is anathema for the usual suspects.

Mossad and IDF caught by surprise is childish fantasy. They knew it was coming.

The question now is whether Hezbollah will be coming to town.

Wednesday´s Live was not quite ... with Alexander Mercouris

My fellow Duranians,
Wednesdays are Alexander´s Day with us, where we look forward to his live stream with us and just ask all sorts of things, concerning from geo- politics to cultural queries.
Sadly, as most of us know, Locals decided to do their thing again and wreck our beloved weekly, BUT
Alexander and I took advantage of the situation and turned the negative into the opposite.

Enjoy this quickly arranged substitute

Alexander Mercouris Live Stream This Week Will Be On Friday 24th April 2026

My friends, as you all know, for technical reasons it proved impossible to do our weekly Live Stream yesterday. Unfortunately the systems failed us again.

Firstly, I would like to thank you all of you for your patience and kindness, even as a promised Live Stream had to be called off.

Secondly, I particularly want to thank Zarael for stepping into the breach, making it possible for us (him and me) to do an excellent programme together for the Duran Community on Locals when the Live Stream should have taken place.

Thirdly, I am going to make a further attempt to do the Live Stream on Friday. Hopefully by then the technical issues will be resolved. I look forward to speaking to you all then.

Fractured Iran or fractured Trump? w/ Robert Barnes (Live)

Martyred journalist Amal Khalil in her own voice, with English subtitles. After posting about her yesterday, I discovered that two of her colleagues in the same location were under the rubble of a building Israel bombed, then, when the Red Cross ambulance and rescue teams tried to reach them, they, too, were bombed. I don't have the stomach to investigate what happened to them. Not that journalists are needed to expose the looting, desecration and monstrosities being committed. The criminal soldiers shamelessly and brazenly do so very handily on their own.

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.
