Middle East: Is the shit about to hit the fan?

Yanks have moved a lot into the area. Just saw 4000 marines announced. I think 8 coast guard cutters, 6 various support ships, 6 destroyers and the carrier group which includes a nice spread of kit.

If the Iranians donā€™t, the Lebanese will. Or vise versa

Oh dear :frowning_face:

Ted Postolā€™s talk is terrifying. The level of threat that the US and their European partners lackeys are insisting on imposing in Russia almost guarantees mutual annihilation.

His comments about the idiocy, belligerence and ignorance of the military and political leadership is terrifying. His comments about the corruption of the American Physical Society and the American National Academy of Sciences are infuriating (to me).

The Europeans had better wake up soon before these new missiles are deposited on their souls. These are extremely dangerous times recently before you add in the Israeli mad dog approach.

Very worried that weā€™re racing, not inching, towards a nuclear nightmare scenarioā€¦

Unfortunately I couldnā€™t stick with the Postol/Deisen/Mercouris video for more than about 30 mins. It didnā€™t help that the slides were never maximised.

This seems like it might be 18-24 months away from becoming a real flashpoint. The notion that US warmongers think they can ā€œwinā€ with a first strike is very troublingā€¦ but right now 2026 sounds a VERY long way away.

Might be worth getting a decent sized fuel can and chucking some in. If they close the straight of Hormuz, fuel is going sky high.

Scott Ritter : The Evil That Netanyahu Has Wrought

Yes Iā€™m filling up tomorrow, albeit the car is 80% full anyway. I just signed up for a 12 month fixed gas/elec deal. Might prove to be a pig in the poke but prices zooming up and down is a hassle I could do without.

Ritter Rant:

Scott Ritter: Why Israel Could Be Humiliated and Defeated by Iran or Hezbollah!

Ritter seems to be under a bit of strain, heā€™s adding a lot of his own feelings, and rubbing it in to the establishment and the Zionists. He might be right about the way things are going, but many of the nasty people willl have long memories.

Yes, I agree.

Having his passport cancelled a little while back might have something to do with it and just the other day his house was busted by the FBI.

More to come I imagine; heā€™s a fighter.

Iā€™m sorry to say this but as every day goes by with more Gaza genocidal attacks by Israehell, Iā€™m looking forward to a massive, successful and uncompromising strike on Israehell. A strike so effective in wiping out the zionists military capability, that the end of the zionist reign is complete. For me, more important than the risks, is I cannot bear to see Aljazeera announce ā€œten Palestinians killed in ā€¦ā€ rather than ā€œAnother 10 Palestiniansā€¦ā€. I canā€™t stomach any more Anthony Blinken ā€œdiplomacy ā€œ. I am disgusted listening to UN spokesman saying things like ā€œā€¦ the situation is approaching a humanitarian disasterā€. As for Sneer Starmer, Iā€™m embarrassed to say that I once was a Labour voter (for clarity, it was a long time ago). And as for the ICJ and the ICC, my comments are unpublishable.

The time has come for the Israeli propaganda hoax of ā€˜wiping Israel of the mapā€™, to come to reality.

Theyā€™re already being bombarded. Latest bomb for Israel is American Airlines have announced they will not fly to Israel before April 2025. Their economy is tanking, people are leaving, the north is uninhabitable and the occasional attack keep up the tension (explosion in Tel Aviv this evening).

Then there is the Murmansk-BN system. I knew the Russians would have some seriously trick electronic warfare tucked up their sleeves, and boy have they delivered. Whilst Iā€™m unsure of Pepe Escobarā€™s claim that it can fry grids, itā€™ll blanket out the area for thousands of miles. Electronic Comms will be useless, as will GPS etc.

Something will happen, but at the Iranians time of choosing

I donā€™t seriously think I could challenge a word of that. If I had a cancerous tumour Iā€™d be pretty keen to have it cut out, and reconciled to the pain. Same as IMHO.

I wouldnā€™t. Could be the surest way of getting it spread through your body.
