Ray McGovern is more optimistic about a deal that will prevent an Iran war than John Helmer. The disagreement centers on one word in Witkoff's recent statement about the results of the indirect talks in Oman. The word is "weaponization". Helmer says Witkoff is talking about conventional missiles, and Iran will never agree to any such restrictions. Russia will back Iran. Ray says "weaponization" means putting a nuclear weapon on a missile, which is something that neither Iran nor Russia would have a problem with. I agree with Ray about the meaning of this word. If so, everything seems to be negotiable. The problem is that this will not satisfy Bibi and the Israel Lobby, which want a war and will push Trump to make demands that Iran can't accept. I still have hope that Trump does not want to be seen as Israel's bitch, and there may be a break between him and the Lobby.

Fascist West did everything in their power to ostracize Russian ice skating sports from world arena.

But, Russian public is super supportive and are getting tickets for theatrical shows on ice all the time . So the Russian wonderful ice skating sports will not die.

As Russia will not die as its sports will shine again for the world to enjoy.

You remember what disgusting west did to Valieva , the innocent young flower.

This is video short with beautiful couple on Ice.

Weekly intel wrap with Johnson and McGovern.
McGovern thinks Tulsi Gabbard is doing a good job of warning the Trump administration of the danger of attacking Iran. Even tattooed war hawk Pete Hegseth is apparently urging caution. Ray thinks that sanity will prevail, and Witkoff will not make unreasonable demands on Iran in their meeting tomorrow. I hope he's right. He also thinks that even if Germany gives Taurus missiles to Ukraine and they are fired into Russia, Putin will be circumspect and put up with these "pinpricks", rather than fire an Oreshnik at Ramstein, which was my suggestion.

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.
