The chaotic process of negotiation between Moscow and Washington continues, to Zelensky's dismay and the European leadership's horror. I should say that in terms of the negotiations yesterday - or to be precise the news management which took place yesterday - yesterday was especially chaotic. Nonetheless I continue to believe that we are moving towards what we call on The Duran "Istanbul Plus" ie. the US's acceptance of Putin's 14th June 2024 terms.

Meanwhile the war goes on and an important fact about yesterday was that the US Intelligence Community published two reports yesterday, whose preparation obviously pre-dates Tulsi Gabbard's appointment, which finally admit, however grudgingly, that Russia is winning the war.

Meanwhile Starmer's 'Coalition of the Willing' continues to unravel, the EU's grand rearmament plan is melting into air, Germany drifts into further financialisation, and the UK into deeper economic and social crisis.

At the same time the situation in the Middle East gets worse every day.

So much to talk about......

Trump made a horrible decision to attack Iran on Feb. 28. Prof. Mearsheimer says that the source of this decision was David Barnea, the head of Mossad, who convinced Netanyahu that the attack would result in a quick and easy victory. Netanyahu and the Israel Lobby told Trump to go ahead with it. Iran did not fold, and now the US and Israel are stuck in a war of attrition in which Iran has a major strategic advantage. The situation resembles the German attack on Russia in 1941, when the Nazis thought they could win a quick victory, were stopped at Moscow and found themselves in an unsustainable war of attrition. Four years later, the Red Army was in Berlin. In the war we are currently in there is no offramp. I would go so far as to say that the murder of Ayatollah Khamenei was truly an offense against God. The US is going to be defeated and kicked out of West Asia. Trump now realizes what a disastrous mistake he has made, and the question is what he or Netanyahu will do in their ...

Perhaps it’s not fair to extrapolate out and say this is most of American youth but…a LARGE majority of them are this dumb and not only are they dumb but they have parents who are just as dumb.

If you went to a grocery store anywhere in America,save possibly Maine or Vermont, and present random Americans with an unlabeled map of the United States and ask them to point at a neighboring state and tell you what is the name of that state, more than half would not be successful.

So forget about pointing out foreign countries on a map. They don’t even know where the hell they live.

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.
