The Duran Cats Say Thank You...

Today we want to share a special thank you. ❤

We received a wonderful package of treats for our The Duran cats, sent by one of you. Unfortunately, the name wasn’t written clearly, so we don’t know who you are.

But we can confirm this: the treats were a huge success and disappeared very quickly after arrival.

If this was you, please know how grateful we are. And even if you prefer to stay anonymous, your gesture did not go unnoticed.

From all of us — and especially from the cats — thank you. 🐾

The most chaotic negotiations I can remember at a Great Power level - both on the Iran issue and on the Ukraine issue - have now ended in Geneva. The Iranians and the Ukrainians are furious at the way they were conducted - see Zelensky's splenetic interview with Axios - whilst the Russians (as always) maintain a disciplined silence.

I am totally unable to see the signs of 'progress' in either negotiation which some people - eg. Ben Aris, Anatole Lieven, in the case of the Ukraine talks - are seeing. On the contrary, it seems to me that the gulf between the sides if anything is widening.

As the Ukrainians are angrily saying, this was all a show put on for the benefit of Donald Trump, and there was nothing more to it than that.

War with Iran now looks to me all but certain, with Iran rehearsing the closure of the Straits of Hormuz. As for the Russians, they give impression of continuing work on their Spring offensive.

These and other, hopefully more cheerful, things to talk ...

Can we just stop trying to destroy people. How about doing that. How much more pleasant would the world be if we just all sat drank coffee and enjoyed each other’s company. 🤓

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.
