Just today, a US C-17 transport aircraft suddenly landed in Moscow.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov denied having any information about a US military aircraft landing in Russia.

But the CIA director Ratcliffe seems to have arrived in Moscow just today as well - so he came either with the C-17 or on another flight.

However you look at it, something is going on.

Judging from Lavrov’s denial of US aircraft landing in Russia and Ratcliffe’s presence in Moscow at the same time, that something can only be a backdoor negotiation. And judging by the fact that the CIA director came unannounced, the US seems desperate.

The Iran war flopped and the US itself has only 41 days of oil reserves. It faces an economic crash ahead of the midterms. On top of that, US bonds are crashing. The US debt is uncontrollable, and inflation is knocking at the door, despite all the failed interventions by the US government. The war in Ukraine is another disaster.

It’s no surprise that the US may come to Moscow with bowed heads and try to get some relief by giving some major ‘concessions’.

But it also exposes the significant disagreement that exists within the Russian establishment regarding all of this:

There are two major factions in the Russian establishment. One seeks to negotiate and get along with the West by giving major concessions despite all the times the US stabbed Russia in the back.

The other faction has a more realist approach to all of this.

Lavrov denying US aircraft landing in Russia is not a mishap or diplomatic courtesy. Lavrov is part of the realist faction. His denial hints at disapproval.

On the other side, the pro-Western faction is probably the one that opened the door for Ratcliffe to fly in.

Even this illustrates the significant disagreement between these factions regarding the wars and Russia’s relationship to the West.

Among these two factions, the pro-West faction wants to take Russia down the familiar road of betrayal and ruin. Whereas the realist faction has a fresh, practical approach that will actually bear results.

Let’s first start with the pro-West faction.

The Pro-West Faction

It consists of economists, industrialists, business circles, oligarchs, assorted intellectuals. Their composition is scarcely different from any other pro-Western faction in any country.

This faction wants to immediately end the war in Ukraine by giving concessions to the West. It wants to resume trading with the West, basically under Western terms. Access to financial markets in New York, London, Angloamerican investment tools. It wants to recover the funds the West stole from them. A lot of oligarchs who had their money stolen by the West are in this faction. The business circles just want to go back to how things were before the Ukraine War. To a world that does not exist anymore.

The potential concessions they may be willing to make range all the way from farcical ceasefires in Ukraine to another Minsk-style truce, despite the US backstabbing Russia every.single.time. when it did any of those.

This faction also includes those who helped the dissolution of the USSR and the hell that Russia went through in the 1990s. So it’s not a surprise that they may care less about what happens to their nation compared to the imaginary benefits of being subservient to the Angloamerican West.

Their attitude comes across as especially outright disconnected from reality because, in the last year, the West started a massive terror campaign by targeting civilians and civilian installations in the Russian hinterland with help from third countries. These include the Baltic states and various Central Asian states.

They appear even more disconnected from reality after the West attempted to kill the Russian president by attacking the presidential residence with a swarm of drones.

This is not a surprise, in a way: This crowd is also able to stomach how Russians are treated by the West. And not only ordinary Russians, Russian sportsmen etc - the West also abused and humiliated these very Russian oligarchs, on top of stealing their money. And yet they still pander to the West, in an attitude that can’t be explained by anything other than masochism.

As a result, the deal they want for Russia is another masochist case:

They want some kind of ceasefire in Ukraine, followed by a deal with concessions to the West. Ukraine would have some kind of status in limbo, with promises given to Russia about the concerns it has regarding it.

But of course it’s 100% certain that the West will never honor its word. It would immediately start arming Ukraine for the next phase of the war. It would also be building up its own military strength to actively participate in the next phase. It already explicitly, bluntly says this.

They have the same kind of approach to the rest of the world war - they would accept a similar stalemate in the Middle East and Sahel. A farcical truce in which the West could just start building up for the next phase of the war.

They want to give a respite to the West from the crisis it is facing. Let the West go after having cornered it. Only to go back to war again after the West is ready. Despite the West openly saying that it wants to destroy Russia and divide it into petty states.

Compared to them, the realist faction has a very clear grasp of reality:

The Realist Faction

This faction knows that ‘facts on the ground’ matter over everything else.

Facts on the ground means physical reality.

Military strength. Technology. Bases. Deployments. Control of critical resources. Control of critical geography. Intelligence. Infrastructure. Physical economy.

Everything else is secondary and can be taken away by those who control the facts on the ground. The West demonstrated that after the Ukraine War started. Funds and investments were frozen or stolen. Trade relations ended. Laws ignored. Sanctions. Embargoes. Blockades. Terrorism. Betrayal. Assassinations. Genocide.

The realist faction understands that the West operates on the principle of ‘facts on the ground’ and everything else it says or does is just a cover.

This means that the West will not honor any future deal or agreement either.

Any deal it signs will be used as bought time to prepare for the next round. Even if the deal appears too lopsided and disadvantageous for itself. Because the damning terms of any deal do not matter if your only purpose is to buy time for the next round.

In fact, such a deal is much better because it would deceive the opponent more easily and lure it into complacency by thinking that it had decisively won.

There is no problem in trying again and again after any defeat.

Because the Angloamerican Western elite knows that they have absolutely nothing to lose by trying nonstop.

They don’t even lose money. In fact, they are making money as of this very moment. They will make money in every defeat and every time they build up after a defeat. If they win, they will make even more.

Some erroneously think that the damage that their countries, their societies take as a result of all these failures would make them reconsider.

But that perspective fails to realize that the Angloamerican Western elite do not care about anyone other than themselves, let alone their society. They are obsessive-compulsive narcissists.

It absolutely does not matter whether their economy is in tatters, their society is collapsing, their people are hungry and dying. They don’t care. They are profiting from it. There is absolutely no problem as far as they are concerned.

If social unrest, or even a revolution, comes to being, they will just stomp down their people and put them in their place. The early signs of this are already visible in the US and the UK. They are repressing their people to feed the war and profit machine. Democratic mechanisms are already under control anyway.

As a result, there is nothing that can threaten them domestically. So there is no reason not to try over and over and over.

The only thing that would care is harm to themselves. That’s why the realist faction has a practical solution to this practical problem as an ultimate manifestation of the principle of the ‘facts on the ground’:

You read that right. This is serious:

A US president is golfing with radar and interceptor missiles behind him on a golf course in America.

There’s more:

He is getting carted away in food trucks and flying in cargo aircraft so someone won’t shoot his plane down.

This has never happened in history. No US president ever had to hide in a food truck; even worse, had to be carted in a catering trolley to that truck.

But Trump had to.

Because everything points to the fact that a ruthless adversary may be after him:

In an amazing turn of events, Iran put boots on the ground in Iraq instead of Trump putting boots on the ground in Iran.

Iranian state news admitted that Iranian special forces have been operating in Northern Iraq for weeks and taking out the leadership of Kurdish armed groups. 7-8 prominent leaders seem to have been eliminated so far.

To make matters worse, this is happening against the backdrop of the US withdrawing entirely from Iraq:

Iran first pushed the US out of Iraq by mauling US air bases in the past month.

The US left Iraq and left its Kurdish proxies defenseless.

Iran moved in to neutralize all of them.

Kurds were backstabbed again.

But this is not a simple tit-for-tat situation or Iran taking advantage of a minor opportunity. It’s a major escalation from Iran that frustrates the latest US-Israeli war plan that Trump recently put into action:

Recently, there were only a few US strikes on Iran and similarly few retaliations by Iran. A lot of people thought that Iran and the US were negotiating behind closed doors because of that.

But things suddenly heated up very unexpectedly:

• Iraqi militias allied with Iran invaded Kuwait

• US struck the neighboring Basra HQ of those militias in response

• Iran struck the leadership of the Iraqi Kurdish groups in the north

• Iran suddenly struck multiple US and allied bases and said that it had not been negotiating with anyone

• Ukraine struck an Iranian tanker carrying cargo to Russia via the Caspian Sea

• Iran said it would strike Ukraine if that happened again

• Iranian sources circulated a list of EU and EU-linked targets that Iran was to strike (included in the article below)

All of these happened within a week, one after another.

Background and details of these events show that these were not sporadic, unrelated events but a major, calculated escalation in the ongoing world war.

And it is now spreading to the entire Middle East and even Europe - for which the US and its allies are entirely unprepared and defenseless:

Check out the video below…

That is a video taken by a US soldier in a US base in Jordan. Two Iranian missiles land without any opposition. One lands further away. Another lands right near the soldier and blows up nearby buildings.

The US moved all its aircraft to bases in Jordan and Israel because Iran started blowing them up on the ground in bases nearer to Iran.

But now Iran is blowing those bases up too - without opposition.

The videos circulating on the Internet show that Iranian ballistics are landing without even any interceptor missile getting fired at them. Like in the above video.

The reason is this:

A destroyed, $500 million+ AN/TP|Y series radar. Iran depleted the interceptor missiles first. Then it started hitting high-powered detection radars the US had remaining in the region after the last round of the war. Like the above AN/TPY series anti-ballistic radar that is used to detect and track ballistic missiles over the horizon and high up in the stratosphere and direct high-altitude interceptors to them.

Without these, Iranian ballistics can’t be intercepted way up high. If they can’t be intercepted way high and start their re-entry from above, they speed up. If they speed up, lower-tier radars that serve Patriots and other interception systems can’t cope with their speed, so they can’t guide interceptors. If they can’t guide interceptors, there is no point in firing the interceptor stocks that remain.

So the US is not firing them.

The result is destroyed Reaper hangars in Kuwait…

…critical US base between Jordan, Syria, and Saudi Arabia hit…

…Jordanians dancing in front of incoming Iranian missiles that land without resistance in broad daylight…

The situation is so bad that sources report that Iran is now hitting flying tankers at US bases in Saudi Arabia as they are taking off on the runway…

The strike was confirmed by a US official cited by Axios as “the first time the Islamic Republic has directly attacked the kingdom in four months” — a description that the State Department, the Pentagon, and the Saudi Ministry of Defence have each declined to repeat on the record. Air & Space Forces Magazine, drawing on multiple US military sources, reported at least twelve wounded and multiple Stratotankers damaged on the tarmac. Open-source satellite imagery corroborated the impact site within the base perimeter.

Iran’s state broadcaster supplied what no government would. The missiles were launched “moments after American refueling planes took off,” a detail that only makes sense if the IRGC had real-time ISR coverage of PSAB’s tanker rotation schedule. The aircraft hit were those that remained on the flight line after the airborne pair departed — the timing was deliberate, and the targeting message was not about maximising destruction but about demonstrating that PSAB’s daily operational patterns are watched, clocked, and within reach.

For all intents and purposes, the entire US presence in the Middle East is defenseless despite almost everything the US has been ferried over to defend them.

Trump forcing the US to wage war on Iran because Israel demanded it and insisting on going on despite the obvious fallout for the US in the first round has left US presence in the Middle East defenseless.

Meaning that the US mainland is also defenseless and any equal adversary can strike and destroy the US easily:

We are going through yet another week in which the US just started bombing Iran again, throwing the farcical memorandum of understanding and the hypothetical, impossible deal in the trash. As I wrote about before, the US used this farcical negotiation process to restrain Iran and stock up on bombs and supplies, only to restart the war, aiming to totally destroy Iran. So it negated all efforts by actors like China and Pakistan in bringing about peace and made them lose face for pressuring their ally into yet another round of negotiations in which the US would backstab everyone.

However, the strategic situation remains unchanged, even if Iran and its allies are unable or, maybe, hesitant to decisively use it to change the entire equation: Iran decisively won the war and the US will have to withdraw from the Middle East.

But that visibly accurate analysis brings about another question - what if the US or Israel resorts to using nuclear weapons?

For, while at this point it has become evident that USreali air assets are unable to fly over Iran and they are unable to effect a bombing campaign similar to Iraq, they can choose to use nuclear weapons, for which they have ballistic missiles for delivery. Against these, Iran does not have reliable defenses due to Russia and, to a lesser degree, China not providing their ally with anti-ballistic air defenses like S-400 or better to avoid upsetting the US - a naive strategy that backfired without providing any benefit.

In such a case, Usreal can effectively flatten Iranian cities and infrastructure and kill innumerable civilians, as it will be able to strike Iran with nuclear ballistic missiles reliably.

A traditional analysis would conclude that Iran would lose such an exchange decisively, as it does not have the means to inflict the same kind of physical destruction on the US.

However, a sober analysis of the results of the Iran war and recent events reveals that Iran would not only survive even a global nuclear war, but it would be one of those left standing:

As of this moment, delegations from the countries of the world are in Iran, attending the funeral of the assassinated former Iranian supreme leader. At the same time, the US delegation is in Iran to negotiate a deal that is anything but a scam for Iran.

While it was already bad for Iran to agree to negotiate this scammy deal and the US and Israel are already abusing the restraint that Iran exercises during the negotiations to weaken Iran as Trump helps it by following his own grand plan behind the seemingly crazy tantrums, what USrael has in store for Iran is far worse than anything it has been doing to Iran before.

It’s preparing to start something that is intended for the total destruction of Iran, and the suffering of its people in the same way it did to Iraq.

And what’s more, the plan has already been put in action and started an escalation ladder that will engulf the entire Middle East in war and eventually end up in open World War III:

Within a month, Trump first begged to open the strait, then gave all the concessions to Iran to accomplish it, then refused to release Iran’s money according to the agreement, and now is dropping bombs on Iran.

However you look at it, these look like a crazy man’s delirious, fever-driven actions.

In response, Iran practically closed the Hormuz Strait again and is now striking ships that try to pass without its permission. The West, especially the US, is just 6 weeks away from a major economic crisis due to depleted oil stockpiles. To avoid the crash, the strait had to be fully open and oil rigs in the Middle East should have started pumping. Only then would the crisis that will happen in 6 months be somewhat softer, rather than a major economic crash.

But that is not the case. A handful of ships pass through the strait. The oil rigs in the Middle East are operating at a reduced capacity. A gigantic economic crash is on the horizon.

What did Trump do in response?

He started threatening Iranian negotiators with death. Then on Sunday, he said that he would stop attacking and start negotiating again.

The actions of a madman…

…or rather, you would mistakenly think, if you did not know he has a hidden, very big and rational agenda behind it all - and it’s not oil price manipulation for private profit:

If you read my last post, you know that the latest memorandum/deal signed between Iran and the US is a scam.

But surprisingly, it didn’t even take two days before the US reneged on the scam deal it itself pushed on Iran and Israel never heeded it anyway. Now Trump says he won’t release the frozen Iranian funds and Lebanon is not part of the deal, although he literally signed the deal with Lebanon in it. And Israel is destroying south Lebanon, as its second-in-power Smotrich says Israel will burn entire Lebanon down.

On the other side, Iran appallingly opened the Strait of Hormuz and is allowing oil tankers to pass, giving the US much-needed economic relief.

Think about how bizarre the situation is: The US planned a scam that benefited itself and pulled it off, but still couldn’t help but betray its own deal within 3 days. However, Iran keeps holding its own side of the bargain despite knowingly getting scammed.

It looks like the US pulled a victory out of the utter defeat it suffered at Iran’s hands, and Iran knowingly got itself backstabbed and accepted to lose the war it really won.

But Iran knowingly walked into this disaster and took the scam deal for very specific reasons:

The Iran deal memorandum was just signed by Donald Trump in France and the Iranian prime minister in Iran digitally. This will supposedly start a 60-day period during which a deal based on the memorandum's clauses will be negotiated and signed.

If you look at the text, the US is giving enormous concessions. It confirms its defeat in hard kinetic war. It reverses its positions and literally boosts Iran’s power. It acknowledges Iran’s status as a regional superpower.

Donald Trump and JD Vance are already defending the agreement and they are even going to the extent of lambasting Israel and its prime minister.

However you look at it, it looks like they really want a deal.

But in reality, they are running an elaborate scam intended to turn Iran’s victory into defeat:

Iran and the US both announced they had agreed to a memorandum and would sign it this Friday. This memorandum calls for an immediate halt to all hostilities, as well as various actions that both sides will take to fulfill it and begin working on a deal.

Both sides released their version; however, Iran’s version appears to be more accurate, as it involves everything they have been insisting on and whatever the Trump administration claimed until now turned out to be false. The text released by Iran reflects the geopolitical facts on the ground. The full list is below, followed by a summary:

1. Immediately and permanently end hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon.

2. The US must respect Iran’s sovereignty and not interfere in its internal affairs.

3. Fully lift the naval blockade within 30 days.

4. The US must withdraw its forces from around Iran.

5. US to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within 30 days under Iranian control.

6. Suspend sanctions on oil, petrochemicals, and related products, and restore Iran’s full access to its financial assets.

7. The US and its allies must present a reconstruction plan for Iran worth at least $300 billion.

8. Conduct 60 days of negotiations to finalize terms on nuclear issues and fully remove all primary, secondary, US, UN Security Council, and IAEA Board sanctions.

9. Reaffirm Iran’s pledge under the NPT not to develop nuclear weapons.

10. During negotiations, the US agrees not to send additional forces to the region or impose new sanctions.

11. Release $24 billion in frozen Iranian funds during the 60-day negotiation period, with half made available before talks begin.

12. Establish a monitoring body to oversee the agreement’s implementation.

13. The final agreement to be approved by a UN Security Council resolution.

14. Final talks will not start until half the frozen funds are released, oil sanctions are suspended, and the naval blockade is lifted. The final deal will only address enriched materials, enrichment, sanctions relief, and economic reconstruction. Any discussions on Iran’s missile program or support for resistance groups are strictly off the table.

The key parts of the list are:

• US withdraws forces from around Iran

• Iran’s missile program and the Axis of Resistance excluded from any future negotiation

• All attacks against the Axis of Resistance will stop

• Iran opens the strait under its control with a toll regime in place

• US and its proxies end all sanctions

The first one is already done: The US had to withdraw its forces further to defend against Iranian missile attacks.

The second was pushed onto the US by Israel. US dropping them means Israel’s defeat also.

The third one is another defeat for Israel; however, there is a catch in it that we will touch later.

The fourth is a gigantic win for Iran. It not only stays in control of the strait, but also will boost its GDP by 20%.

The last one involves Iran receiving its money stolen by the West and being able to trade again; it’s major, but there is also a catch in it.

First, we examine what the entire deal means, and then deal with the catches it has and why it will not last.

Iran Defeated the US

Even this memorandum itself is a result unimaginable just a few years before.

It means that the US not only failed in destroying and taking over a country, but it also says that instead of merely not succeeding, it got utterly defeated strategically.

It surrounded Iran with bases right across its border before. Now it had to withdraw all those forces. It has already done that. Now it’s signing it as a deal. The situation is so bad that the US isn’t even able to fly its aircraft near Iran’s borders anymore:

Also the US used its proxies, like Israel, to wage war on Iran before. Now it will have to forcefully stop them and leave the Iranian proxies alone. The Iranian proxies were already a major factor in the Middle East. Now they will be a strategic factor.

The Iranian missile forces surprised everyone during the war. Their capabilities and destructive power surpassed the entire combined forces of the US, Israel and their various European allies. This not only showed Iran’s power, but also demonstrated that ballistic missile and drone forces now supersede all other forces. After getting hammered badly, USrael started demanding Iran gut its missile and drone program. With this memorandum, that demand is also gone. Iran was already mass-manufacturing missiles and started developing longer-range missiles during the war. In the next war, it will reach much further and hit much harder.

But the Hormuz Strait case is an incredible change in geopolitics.

Iran now takes control of the most important waterway in the world. The toll regime and the GDP boost are very good, but being in control of the world’s most important waterway is a strategic asset nothing else can compare with.

A few years ago, something like that happening would be unimaginable. Now the unimaginable happened. Iran took de facto control of that strategic asset and now it is getting it confirmed in a signed deal. The US claims otherwise, but Iran certainly won’t let go of this advantage.

The sanctions relief will hit the US and its proxies very badly. They are economically pressured, which was one reason why they chose to steal Russian and Iranian money. Now they will not only have to give all the money back, but they will also feed Iran’s economy by allowing it to freely sell its exports.

All of these major concessions are things that were unimaginable just a year ago.

The Angloamerican West demanded things and got them. That was the case all along.

Now it’s giving in to other countries’ demands.

But this doesn’t mean that any country could readily win against the US. Iran won because of a simple reason:

Iran Is Now A Superpower

Iran showed itself to be a superpower in every way.

It has a strong, capable establishment that can protect itself and the country.

It has a very modern, visionary military that is ahead of everyone in the world, barring Russia and China. It’s fighting the wars of the 21st century, while the Angloamerican West is still fighting World War II.

The strategic paradigm it implemented by building entirely self-sufficient missile cities below mountains has shown itself to be capable of winning against anybody, and it can even survive nuclear wars and come on top.

It shut down its internet from accessing the outside, and the Iranian internet kept working. From social apps to bank services. It looks like Iran has analogues of every service that the Western Internet can provide.

When it saw that it was able to control any USraeli regime change attempt coordinated through the Internet, it reopened its internet to the outside world. This is a capability only a few countries like Russia and China have.

Its economy showed itself to have become resilient and self-sufficient after decades of sanctions. Iranian economy kept functioning despite the blockade, and it even increased its exports by reorienting them through land routes.

Its domestic, pro-West opposition started supporting the establishment because it was backstabbed in the last few years by the West they admire so much, and because even those who belong to the opposition segments were bombed and murdered during the war. The US bombed cities and universities, where the youth from the pro-Western opposition were found. On top of that, it bombed hospitals, mosques, and schools and killed children en masse. As if that was not enough, the entire Western establishment was shown to be implicated in the Epstein scandal, completely ending the farcical myth of Western human rights values. Instead, Iran showed itself to be the defender of the weak and oppressed, gaining global acclaim. Now the staunchest pro-Western Iranians are regretting the sentiments they had before the war.

All combined, Iran is now a superpower.

A stable establishment. A powerful, capable military. A resilient, self-sufficient economy. Great strategy.

Now all Iran needs to do to be a power that sits at the same table with the biggest powers is to extend the range of its ballistic missile forces. It’s already working on missiles that can reach as far as Europe. All it needs to do to seal the deal is to make missiles that can reach the US - which it definitely can.

And it definitely must do that, because neither this memorandum nor any deal that it may end up in will last:

The US or Israel Won’t Respect Any Deal

This has been shown over and over in the last few decades, but it looks like now some think that a deal could be done because the Angloamerican West is at the threshold of economic collapse due to rising oil prices thanks to Iran shutting down the Strait.

Yes. They would do a deal because they literally got caught pants down. And they will.

But only for now. So they will avoid the pending economic crash.

Then they will start preparing for the next war to avoid getting caught unprepared again. Stocking oil, taking over weaker countries to ensure oil supplies. Reorganizing their militaries. Preparing to get around Iran’s military and strategic advantages.

And then they will attack Iran again.

Of course, neither the CIA nor Israel will abide by this memorandum or any potential deal, even one day.

The CIA will keep trying to subvert Iranian society - which is why Iran is accepting $300 billion in US investments to rebuild Iran: very dangerous. It will allow the CIA to infiltrate and subvert higher ranks of the Iranian state and economic establishment in preparation for a regime change because it will give it a way to establish connections. This is a major catch that is in this clause that normally seems to be a good thing for Iran.

Sanctions relief has another catch - yes, it will give Iran its stolen money back. Yes, it will allow Iran to restart exporting to the Western countries. But it will both enable those countries to subvert the Iranian establishment like in the reconstruction case above, and link Iran’s economy to the West, causing it to suffer not only the economic crises that the West is going through but also allowing the West to destabilize the Iranian economy whenever it wants.

On its side, Israel will not heed any deal. It’s still bombing Lebanon and it openly said that it will keep doing that regardless of any deal. It also says it will never withdraw from what parts of Lebanon it occupied. Netanyahu potentially losing the elections will not change anything. The entire Israeli establishment, even Israeli society, supports everything he did until now.

So it’s likely that the US will use this deal to shield Israel from Iranian retaliation while the US itself prepares for the next leg of the war. Because the US has stationed its aircraft in Israeli bases, Iran won’t be able to hit those Israeli bases because of the memorandum. As a result, Israel will be free to bomb Lebanon and Gaza. Any rebuke and potential retaliation from Iran will be delayed by the US by playing the good cop/bad cop strategy, helping Israel advance its strategy while Iran debates whether to take action to violate the deal - only until the US and its proxies are prepared enough for the next war, of course.

And there will be a next war.

The mentality of the Angloamerican elite’s obsessive-compulsiveness and narcissism makes it impossible for them to stomach not getting what they want. Therefore, they just keep trying as long as they don’t lose anything.

And they did not lose anything in these wars. The American people did. The people in the Middle East did. When the next war starts, they won’t be losing anything either.

So there is absolutely no reason why they should not try again.

The only thing that could stop them would be Iran having nuclear weapons and missiles that can deliver them to the US.

In May 2026, Ukraine struck a Russian college and killed dozens of Russian youth. It upset the Russian public immensely. While Russia refrains from targeting civilians, Ukraine does not hesitate to do so.

What did the Russian government do in response?

It warned for days that it would retaliate with a massive strike.

And it struck numerous military targets it should have already been striking all this time. Including an important underground bunker that hosted top foreign military brass.

What’s worse, because it has been warning for days, the foreign and Ukrainian military personnel who have been organizing such terrorist strikes have already evacuated those military targets, including the top brass who were in that important underground bunker.

That’s it.

The Russian government’s reaction to a brutal, blatant terrorist act was to strike military targets that it should have already been hitting and in the process, it even spared those who committed that act and many others.

And what was the reaction of Ukraine and its Western handlers?

They started doing drone strikes against St. Petersburg and northwestern Russian cities by launching drones from ships parked in the Baltics - by using Baltic countries’ airspaces. They were already striking central Russia by using US-friendly Central Asian countries’ airspaces, but now northwestern Russia is also targeted.

On top of that, countries like Germany now say they will bring Ukrainian weapons factories to their own land so that Russia won’t be able to strike them.

As if that wasn’t enough, the UK and the EU started pirating Russian-linked ships in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

The more Russia shows restraint, the more brazen and aggressive its enemies become.

At this rate, the ‘strategic patience’ of the Russian government will eventually tip the scales in its enemies’ favor and bring about Russia’s defeat.

Because its enemies aren’t only committing terrorist acts.

They are taking strategic action:

As you know, intermediaries are frantically going back and forth between Iran and the US at this moment. They are trying to work out a peace to end the war and open the strait.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump keeps posting absurd social media posts that show bombs with memes on them and threatening that 'a civilization will die tonight’ and whatnot.

But Iran’s responses to the antics of the US president and statements from his government and even gross US violations of the ceasefire are odd.

They are not accommodating him. They aren’t even acting diplomatically.

They are upping the ante.

There is no way the US will accept any of those. Even if a few of them were intended for getting dropped during negotiations, what remains would still be unacceptable to the US.

As if that wasn’t enough, Iranian officials are provoking Trump with humiliating statements - even including some statements from the Iranian president.

At the same time, Iran is not escalating and breaking the tenuous ceasefire while not de-escalating the tensions either.

It looks like Iran is playing for time.

Not to hurt the US economically due to the closure of the strait, but for a very specific reason:

Iran just said that they agreed on a memorandum of understanding with the US, and if what is coming out from the Angloamerican sources is any indicator, it doesn’t sound like a rational agreement.

They say that Iran agreed to open the Hormuz Strait in 30 days and promised not to develop nuclear weapons.

While it’s almost certain that the Anglo sources (especially WaPo) may be doing fake news fueled by the Trump administration, now Iran certainly is not demanding as many things as it could with the cards it holds, and this may be cause it to give away the victory.

Because in the current situation:

• Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz.

• It charges $2 million per ship passing the strait

• Blocks any ships linked to hostile countries from passing

• US Navy is unable to open the strait

• The US is experiencing increasing inflation as a result

• US Air Force is unable to fly over and bomb Iran

• Iran can bomb any USraeli base in the Middle East

• Any ground invasion by the US is impossible

In this situation, Iran can just wait as the US economy crashes and burns.

Iran’s earlier demands reflected this situation. It included a wide array of things, ranging from demanding war reparations from the US to recognition of the control of the strait, to even a full withdrawal of the US from the Middle East.

However, among all those demands, there was one item that constantly kept poisoning Iran’s policy and forcing it to give ground step by step:

Unlocking of frozen (stolen) Iranian money in the West.

This money was stolen by the US when it started an open economic war against the countries it targeted recently, Russia and Venezuela included.

It is a tangible amount of money, namely in the $100 billion range.

However, it became a poison for Iran’s foreign policy, just like how frozen Russian money is a poison for Russian foreign policy:

It causes domestic private interests to push their governments to give concessions to the US to unfreeze that money.

These private interests - major corporations, oligarchs, industrial dynasties and the like - have significant clout in both countries and they use that clout to pressure their governments on policy.

As a result, they weaken their countries’ hands against their literal, actual enemies and harm their countries immensely.

Consider the Iranian case, for example. Iran has $100 billion~ frozen in the Anglo West. But it is earning ~$150 million every month just by charging $2 million from each ship that passes the Strait, even in the current state in which very few ships pass the Strait. When the Strait opens with the toll regime in place, this number would skyrocket. Not mentioning other income that Iran will have through things like selling insurance and other services.

The entirety of frozen ‘Iranian’ money in the West could be recovered in around a decade in that case, and Iran would be making immense profits while controlling the most important waterway in the world in perpetuity.

However, that money would go directly to the Iranian state. Not to the private interests. As a result, such private interests would have no issue pressuring their already Western-friendly government to concede on such a critical strategic gain.

Maybe saner heads and statesmen can prevail in Iran and avoid giving away such a major strategic gain, if some news that is coming from the Iranian side is any indicator.

But Iran may already have conceded other critical strategic gains and demands under pressure from such private interests to recover their lost money.

For example, the US withdrawal from the Middle East seems to have been dropped as a demand.

What’s more, its watered-down version that demands the US to close all bases in the vicinity of Iran hasn’t been heard in any of the recent statements from Iran.

On top of that, Israel is still waging its all-out war against South Lebanon despite the ceasefire in Lebanon being a condition of the US-Iran ceasefire itself. So it looks like Iran already conceded something it should not have conceded.

A similar pattern is observed in Russian foreign policy. Pro-Western private interests, who got their money stolen by the West, pressure their government to show leniency against the increasing aggression of the West and force it to concede things that it should not.

As a result, the US is waging an increasingly invasive war against Russia that has already reached the level of mass drone attacks against the Russian hinterland by using US proxy countries that border Russia, such as Russian Central Asia. Whereas in the West, ‘Ukrainian’ drones constantly use the Baltic States’ airspaces to strike important Russian cities like St. Petersburg. The lack of consequences has made them so carefree that they recently blew up a Russian school and killed dozens of teenagers.

What was the Russian state’s response to that vile act?

Doing an Oreshnik strike against a military installation. That. Nothing more.

In a few days, ‘Ukraine’ will start another round of drone attacks against Russian cities and the hinterland. In a month or so, it will strike another school or hospital. Meanwhile, the Russian government will keep entertaining the lying, flip-flopping West through rhetoric like ‘Anchorage spirit’, ‘Alaska understanding’ and all that, while the West makes a fool out of it in the global scene as it has been doing since 2022.

Not surprisingly, the Ukraine War is going nowhere.

Russia is gaining ground and running a successful attrition war, but no kind of change in policy that the pro-Western factions have been ‘anticipating’ came to be in the West. The Western policy has become increasingly more aggressive as its obsessive-compulsive narcissistic elite has gotten away with aggression every single time and it even treats Russians as if they were cockroaches, in everything ranging from global sports or cultural events to tourism. And the Russian state just takes it because of the pressure from pro-West factions.

It’s high past time that such factions should be treated as external elements, as national security risks in all countries targeted by the US.

These factions should be neutralized and removed from positions of power. Their money and relationships in the West should be forfeited if necessary.

World War 3 is going on.

It can’t be won while allowing internal elements to facilitate the actions of enemies that want your total destruction.

The cheerful demeanor in the supposed photo of the passengers on Air Force One above, hides the grim reality of Trump’s China visit:

He is actually going there with his head down, defeated.

He tried to pull off a Hail Mary in the months leading up to this visit.

He tried to take over Venezuela. He tried to take over Iran. Upped the stakes in the tariff war. Sanctions war.

All of those were part of a big bet to turn the tide and prevent the collapse of the American empire and the US itself.

If it worked out, things would go back to the way they were, like in the good old times.

But nothing went according to plan:

In case you missed: There is a new health crisis brewing because a virus - Hantavirus - is causing an outbreak as a result of a cruise ship infected with it arriving in Europe. Some people died, some people are infected and both those infected and not infected are being transferred to high-level quarantine facilities to be treated. This may cause a new case like the covid pandemic.

However, a lot of things around this case raise suspicions in light of recent events:

The Patagonia Angle

The cruise ship started from South Chile, went to the south of Patagonia, where the first patients got infected, apparently near a garbage dump.

Remember that Israel and Argentina recently agreed to allow 300,000 Israelis to settle in Patagonia, to host ‘Israeli war refugees’.

The hantavirus outbreak followed literally a month after.

The Vaccine Angle

The outbreak magically coincided with the near-collapse of Moderna’s Korean Hantavirus vaccine development deal.

Moderna shares up 10% as a result.

A rational mind would think this is a coincidence, not an actual conspiracy. But in the last 2 months, we have seen the actual US establishment shamelessly manipulate the markets 6 times to profit. The last one was yesterday, with the Washington Post’s Barak Ravid spamming out another false ‘Iran peace’ article that helped some people to make $100 million in profit by shorting oil futures just one hour before his article came out. This was the 6th time Barak Ravid spammed out such false peace articles, leading to such manipulation.

Vaccination being an important public health matter does not prevent profiteering sociopaths from using vaccines to speculate and profit. One would think that nobody would do such evil to profit; however, we are still watching the USraeli establishment kill children to help USraeli companies take over gas fields to sell expensive Mediterranean gas to Europe. The Iran war is a whole other story in the same direction. Sociopathic corporations that murder even children to profit can not be acting as responsible, rational and benevolent actors when it comes to the vaccine market. The Angloamerican West is in a decadent collapse that is far worse than the Roman Empire’s fall, and its elite has visibly dropped any pretense of decency.

Covid Vaccine Side Effect

The WHO lists Hantavirus infections as a side effect of Covid vaccines on its website, mainly the mRNA types. (Pfizer, Moderna et al)

This may help explain why the infection & death cases are not evenly distributed across all those on the cruise ship.

Europe Angle

The cruise ship crossed the Atlantic and landed in the Iberian Peninsula, specifically Spain, with whom Israel has a beef because Spain has been - rationally - opposing the genocide. The Spanish government agreed to take in all passengers and treat them in Spanish hospitals upon the WHO’s request. Incidentally, at the same time, ~12 Israelis are somehow getting treated in Israel for contracting Hantavirus ‘somewhere’. One wonders how they could have possibly contracted it without being on the cruise.

This outbreak definitely throws the bomb in the lap of the EU through Spain. Now the EU has to deal with a pandemic case on top of the economic crisis caused by the oil squeeze that the Iran war is causing and Trump’s restarted tariff war after the EU rejected his ‘trade deal’. Another majestic coincidence, however you look at it.

…

All of these point to a reality in which the Angloamerican Western establishment may have already dropped any pretense of civility and decorum in the domestic/civil sphere, just like it dropped them when it comes to international law and warfare. It is foolish to expect that those who burn children alive for corporate profit may be acting benevolently at home.

As of this moment, the low-level World War III continues as geopolitical and strategic paradigms change everywhere around the world. Here’s a summary of recent events and major factors at play:

Russia, China, & The West and the Ongoing Low-Level World War

The trajectory toward direct confrontation between the Anglo-American bloc and the Russia-China axis has become unmistakable. The West is openly preparing for war - not through proxy conflicts, but through direct military buildup, legal, economic and logistical preparation across Europe and the Pacific. The question is no longer whether this confrontation happens, but when.

Russia and China may be forced to strike first while they still hold the advantage in hypersonic missiles, electronic warfare, and drone technology. The strategic proposition is serious: waiting gives the West time to catch up.

A large-scale war between the EU and Russia has become inevitable, and Europe’s military infrastructure, logistics, legal and economic preparations - from Germany to Sweden suggest this is a matter of when and not if.

China and Russia will need to continue actively defending Iran as World War III continues in a proxy-war state, rather than holding Iran back from striking. Restraint and ‘strategic patience’ are no longer viable.

The Anglo-American elite poses a nuclear risk that, if unchecked, could escalate beyond what anyone wants. The question of reining them in is existential. There is no move on the part of anyone in Angloamerica in that direction.

Russia’s new missile technology has fundamentally changed the strategic calculus some time ago, and that equation remains unchanged. It makes nuclear war obsolete as a concept. The US understands this and will do nothing about it from a strategic perspective. It simply cannot compete. But if push comes to shove, the US can mobilize its economy into war gear and pose a real risk to the rest of the world.

NATO still cannot win a conventional war against Russia or China, and this structural reality hasn’t changed. The alliance’s limitations are baked into its economics and establishment.

Russia’s establishment is appeasing/pandering to the West at great risk to Russia. Gestures of goodwill are being weaponized against them. Rhetoric like “Anchorage spirit”, “Alaska understanding” and “Strategic patience” is worsening Russia’s situation as it gets backstabbed constantly.

Iran & The Middle East

Iran has emerged as the pivotal actor that the West miscalculated catastrophically. The war that was supposed to be a quick operation has turned into a strategic humiliation.

Iran won the war. The US will have to withdraw from the Middle East. The tables have completely turned.

The US lost the Iran war in a non-surprising way that nobody could have imagined, and it won’t win another war ever. The reasons go far beyond military reasons.

The assassinated Iranian Supreme Leader’s trap that Israel and the US walked into took the West by surprise in the process. The price of supremacist arrogance was steep.

Meanwhile, someone has been shooting at US and Israeli aircraft across the Middle East, and they couldn’t do anything about it. This shows that the glorious US airpower no longer works.

The real war strategies of Iran, the US, and Israel differ from what they claim. A different game is being played by each.

Also, Iran will have to strike first eventually because waiting makes no sense given the dynamics, as Iran has no reason to fear or hold back against the US or Israel at this point.

On the propaganda front, the liberal propaganda against Iran that echoed 19th-century imperialist racism died down pretty quick after the US public turned overwhelmingly against the war.

Syria is still in the hands of the Islamists despite Russia somehow being back in the equation. It reopened its bases in Syria and it’s Syria’s #1 oil supplier. And somehow, supplies are flowing to Hezbollah. Hezbollah uses FPV drones and short range missiles to blow away the IDF. Someone must have saw the writing on the wall.

Iran is no longer doing limited strikes anymore. It declared that if any Iranian leader is assassinated, it will assassinate Gulf Arab leaders in the same fashion.

Ukraine

The proxy war that was supposed to weaken Russia has instead exposed the West’s limitations. The US got beaten in its own game in Ukraine and it remains beaten.

The US elite keep screwing up the Ukraine war in the same way they keep screwing up everything.

None of Trump’s Ukraine peace plans turned out to be real, either.

Trump & US Foreign Policy

Trump’s foreign policy looks crazy, but he didn’t lose his mind - he’s serious, and most of this was planned long before.

One constant thing is that Trump is constantly backstabbing Russia, just as he did within a week of the Alaska summit. So, Vladimir Putin rushing in to save Trump’s credibility in Alaska was one of the most pointless and humiliating things for Russia to have done.

Domestically, Trump’s future is at risk and he doesn’t seem to be doing anything about it. Even the potential Trump coup fizzled. No ‘cleaning the swamp’ is happening either. But he is constantly talking about getting out of NATO without doing anything. Though that’s pretty consistent for him.

The World Order Is Changing

The multipolar world continues to be born through treaties and dedollarization. But the West still can’t accept and adapt to the multipolar world.

80% of the world versus less than 10%.

The obsessive-compulsive narcissists in the Anglo empire just can’t accept reality. They prefer pushing towards real World War III instead.

In response, Russia is dragging the Ukraine War to keep its attrition warfare against the West. But waiting is starting to work against Russia, as said before.

On the other side, the US keeps trying to push Europe into being a lowly colony by imposing tariffs and other restrictions on it, as well as trying to get it into a hot war with Russia to have Russia destroy its strategic infrastructure so that it will remain defenseless against the US. In return, the EU deliriously cuts ties with everyone else instead, including its important partners like China, as if it will appease Trump.

You wake up, and the news says Russia and China struck the West in a non-nuclear, maybe nuclear strike. World War III is on.

Not a proxy war. Not something merely dubbed as a ‘special operation’.

Actual world war.

And a never-ending one at that.

You may feel that it is unimaginable. Especially because of how restrained Russia and China have been up until now.

But the situation has changed.

The West is preparing for open war. And it is doing it openly.

As a result, Russia and China will have to strike the entire West soon, while they have the advantage. Not merely Russia striking only the EU. But both of them striking the entire West.

And they will have to make it a permanent war to keep the West down, as Russia does to Ukraine:

Up until now, it was easy to downplay the stance of the EU against Russia and its participation in the Ukraine War as posturing and geopolitical opportunism, respectively.

But recent developments are very serious.

The EU is actively arming itself by saying openly that it is against Russia. EU governments are openly saying that the public must get used to the idea that many will die in the war against Russia. If the fact that they are directly jumping to getting the public used to the idea of mass losses before getting it used to the idea that there will be a war with Russia didn’t already say a lot, some countries, like Germany, started taking conscription measures. Now, German youth aged 18-24 can’t get out of Germany without informing the conscription office. It’s not having to register with the conscription office, mind that - it’s going out of Germany without informing the office. Something that you would do only if you are preparing for imminent war.

This buildup and open, honest hostility are not lost on Russia. The Russian National Security Council and other important Russian establishment institutions’ spokespeople started saying that the EU is preparing to attack Russia. These statements are not made with generic language. They are not posturing. They are openly saying that they will attack us. We must prepare.

And in a way that shows that was not just rhetoric, Russia recently legalized it to have its military attack any country that is producing weapons for Ukraine. This means that Russia can strike any installation in the EU at any point without declaring war.

The EU does not relent. It’s stubbornly preparing for a war that it will lose. And lose badly. And that seems to be what the US exactly wants:

“Squawk 770” - that’s the code US aircraft use when they tell mission control that they have a critical emergency. They use it when they have a situation that could end in a crash. It’s something you rarely use in peacetime. In a warzone, it means that you are getting shot down.

For the duration of the last Iran War, US aircraft in or near the warzone have been using that code extremely frequently.

And a lot of those aircraft disappeared from the radars despite US denial, only to be confirmed by the open source intelligence community to have been lost through other means.

The US denied all cases. The US denying its losses is not unusual.

What’s unusual is how frequently this ‘squawk 7700’ situation has been happening and how it was happening practically everywhere in the Middle East.

This means that someone has been successfully shooting down US aircraft.

But how? And who?
