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.

Larry Johnson:

Approximately 19,000 Ukrainian bodies repatriated in total. This contrasts sharply with Russia’s total KIA recovered in the same period — roughly 500–600 bodies. Yet the NY Times wants you to believe that Russia is suffering more than double the casualties of Ukraine, and that Russia, which is firing almost four times the number of artillery shells than Ukraine, is suffering double the casualties.
Ukraine’s problems from Russia’s drone campaign are existential pressures on a society that is already absorbing 30,000–34,000 military casualties per month. In short, Russia’s drone force is larger, is producing at greater scale, is hitting more targets successfully, and is inflicting more damage on its adversary.
Since 2023 Russia has dropped approximately 125,000–135,000 glide bombs on Ukrainian defensive positions. The glide bomb campaign has played a significant role in Russia’s military advances. The fall of Avdiivka, Toretsk, and Pokrovsk were each preceded...

Trump's Plan to Kill Gold (protect your portfolio)

Join Alexander Mercouris Live Stream Today 1st July 2026 at 14:00 EDT, 19:00 London time

There is a great deal to discuss today, with reports of an accelerating pace of the Russian offensive, and of growing internal arguments about the MoU in Iran.

Today is however the 11th anniversary of my civil wedding to Catherine. We treat our main wedding anniversary as 1st August, which is the anniversary of our Church wedding. Nonetheless we do also commemorate the anniversary of our civil wedding. Notwithstanding this Catherine told me to hold the Live Stream today (she knows how important it is to me) but we agreed that I would hold it to exactly 2 hours.

Looking forward to speaking with you all today.

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.
