A grim parallel between US escalating a trade war w/ China & realising that China has serious leverage in the form of rare earths & US launching a war vs Iran & realising Iran has serious leverage in the form of being able to blow up the world economy. Failure of statecraft.

Iran’s insurance policy: Why the Houthis have stayed out of the fight - Middle East Institute

Brilliant piece by Nadwa Dawsari on a question we’ve all been wondering: Why are the Houthis, so far, sitting this out?

She argues the Houthis are Iran’s pinch hitter, strategically positioned to rescue the Islamic Regime in a bind.

Expect their deployment if & when Tehran truly gets desperate.

You know, when you think about it, its like the USA today is being run by a fraudulent businessman who bankrupted every business he ever ran except those bankrolled by the Russians or after he used political power for personal financial gain.

Exactly like that.

How Donald Trump’s Iran War Is Destabilizing the Gulf Despite their animosity toward Iran, America’s allies in the Middle East are worried that the region is headed for wider conflict.

Volodimyr Zelensky :
"J’avais prévenu Trump du risque de troisième guerre mondiale. La Russie soutient déjà l’Iran avec des drones, des missiles et des systèmes de défense aérienne. La question est de savoir quand des troupes apparaîtront, comme les 10 000 soldats nord-coréens ...⬇️

Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.

Pete Hegseth has lost the Iran war. But he has won the rhetorical war about the naming of his department.

'Khamenei had self-deprecating humor. He apparently lost it as he became leader' Iranian-born Journalist and Author Maziar Bahari Survived Detention in the Notorious Tehran Evin Prison in 2009. Now He Talks to Haaretz About the Time He Met Khamenei in Person and Why Iranians Won't...

Interview with Maziar Bahari

'Khamenei Had a Self-deprecating Sense of Humor. He Apparently Lost It When He Became Supreme Leader' - Iran News www.haaretz.com/middle-east-...

One of the now famous images of British servicemen manning a naval gun at Shoremead whilst wearing full pantomime drag. It's usually claimed to be an image that was banned by the government or somesuch nonsense, but there's actually a rich vein of propaganda photographs of servicemen carrying on with normal, humorous life in the middle of a war. That the Nazis were understood to be dead against this sort of stuff only added to its value.

So whilst the self-reported big manly men are accidentally closing a narrow shipping channel by having a big manly war and shouting big manly war things, a reminder of that time a bunch of lads who were much secure in their gender did it deliberately.

Is it even possible to make a non-posed photo of him where he doesn’t look like an idiot?

TOP TIP: get round the problem of no plan surviving contact with the enemy by having no plan.

Post of the day!

Good Lord, Trump seems to have forgotten that in war, your enemy gets a vote. If the Iranians read this, they will understand he is terrified and desperate, and probably speed up the mining of the straits. Worst war leader in US history.

When you find out, please let the rest of us know. It would be very useful thanks.
