From Sony Thang on the USA:

There has never been a terrorist organization on Earth with the global reach of the United States.
None with more bases.
None with more proxies.
None with a larger civilian kill count.
None with a better public relations department.
That is what makes it so dangerous.
America is not merely violent.
It is violently respectable.
It can strike a school full of children and still have "experts" explain why the massacre was "complex."
It can back genocide and still get invited to human rights summits.
The gangster at least admits he is a gangster.
The empire wants a Nobel Prize.

I wonder when people will realise how fucked they are despite being seemingly not involved in the war. A day before the war started a liter of gas cost 1.47 euro here. Now it is at 1.84. Nearly 40 cents more. Energy prices are skyrocketing as well and it will take people some time to notice. But they will notice. And then what? Blame immigrants again I guess.

🇺🇸The oil tankers seized by Trump are costing the US tens of millions of dollars, - NYT

• The US campaign to seize oil tankers transporting oil from countries under US sanctions has turned out to be much more expensive than expected.

• The maintenance of just one tanker, Skipper, has already cost the US 47 million dollars over three months, with the cost of the ship itself estimated at around 10 million dollars.

It really says something when you are losing money by committing piracy

The American political class believes everyone is secretly as cowardly as they are.

That deep down, every people will eventually choose comfort over honor, safety over sovereignty, appetite over principle.

Iran is the recurring proof that this assumption is false.

That is why they cannot leave it alone.

It is not just a geopolitical rival.

It is a metaphysical insult to their anthropology.

It proves that human beings can still be organized by faith, memory, sacrifice, and destiny.

Trump cannot understand any of this because he cannot even understand silence unless it is flattering him.

If the information about the strike on Diego Garcia is correct, then one of the central assumptions about the Iranian missile program has collapsed. For many years, the generally accepted range of their missiles was about 2,000 kilometers. A ballistic missile that reached Diego Garcia implies a range of about 4,000 kilometers, which places Iran in the category of countries possessing fundamentally different weapons. And for them, this is a strategic leap.

The main thing is not whether the missile was intercepted or not. The point is that Iran may have demonstrated a range of action far exceeding what most of the world believed it possessed.

The possibility of a strike at a range of 4,000 kilometers changes the balance of power in the region. Major European capitals are now vulnerable. Paris is within reach. London is significantly approaching the border of vulnerability, depending on the launch point and payload. This will mean that the missile threat is no longer limited to the Persian Gulf, Israel, or certain parts of South Asia.

In general, it can be assumed that the Iranian message was received on the other side by everyone who needed to receive it.

From Sony Thang

Some Islamic regimes speak as if Iran became their enemy the moment it answered aggression.

Think about the sickness required to say that out loud.
American bases operate from your soil.
Israeli interests are protected by your silence.
Muslims are massacred in full view of the world.
And the state you call "reckless" is the one refusing to die quietly.
What kind of Islam is this?
An Islam terrified of America.
An Islam domesticated by luxury.
An Islam that has memorized verses but forgotten courage.
Do not call that wisdom.
Call it what it is:

Faith emptied out and rented to empire.

• In India, crematoriums have stopped using gas to incinerate the bodies of the deceased, and restaurants have stopped deep-frying food.

• The government has allowed the use of more "polluting" fuels — coal, firewood, and kerosene.

• In Mumbai, about a fifth of restaurants have already closed, and up to half of establishments may cease operations if the situation does not improve.

• In Pakistan, government employees have switched to a 4-day workweek, schools are closed until the end of the month, and university classes are being held online.

• In Bangladesh, a supply shock has triggered large-scale gas rationing across the economy. Universities have closed, exams have been canceled, and all government institutions are conserving electricity.

• In Sri Lanka, long queues have formed at gas stations, and the country can only store a supply of LNG for about a week.

Dimona is getting rocked 🎆

Given the scale of the shock, many people are understandably surprised that the price of oil hasn’t gone even higher. The oil market’s idiosyncrasies is arguably obscuring the distress.

The two main and commonly quoted crude oil price benchmarks, Brent and WTI blends. So, when people say “oil is at X or Y”, what they’re usually talking about is the per-barrel price of a futures contract for delivery of Brent crude oil in the coming month.

However, the jumps in Brent and WTI — while large and alarming — actually understate the degree of dislocation

Just to hammer home the point, here are charts of the long-term prices of the Dubai and Omani oil, which have now exploded higher than even the infamous 2008 spike. The Oman benchmark has hit a record $173.24 today.

Unfortunately, JPMorgan’s analysts therefore reckon that those wild Oman and Dubai oil prices are likely to prove a harbinger for the larger oil price benchmarks if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t reopened pronto.

The International Energy Agency has issued warnings about upcoming energy crisis and how to deal with it. The US and Israel have severely fucked themselves over with this.

❗️Statement by Hamas:

"The terrorist occupation (israel) authorities' continued closure of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque for the 19th consecutive day under flimsy pretexts, preventing prayers, including the Taraweeh and night prayers inside it, and repeatedly assaulting worshippers attempting to pray in its proximity, represents an ongoing series of systematic attacks on freedom of worship, and a blatant escalation in attempts to impose a dangerous Judaizing reality, aimed at altering the status quo in Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

We in the Hamas Movement warn of the repercussions of the fascist occupation's measures against the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque, which coincide with increasing terrorist incitement campaigns by so-called extremist "Temple" groups. We affirm that all these decisions and measures are null and void, issued by an illegitimate occupation authority, and they will not succeed in changing the Islamic identity of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The continued closure of the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque necessitates urgent and decisive action by the Islamic Ummah, with all its components, to prevent the occupation's encroachment on the first Qibla of Muslims and the third holiest site, intervene to halt the extensive violations against it, stop the restrictions on worshippers, and thwart its malicious plans against Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

We call upon the international community to condemn the occupation's violations against the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Islamic and Christian holy sites in Palestine, as well as all the aggressive and provocative measures taken by the fascist occupation government, which further ignite tension in the region and the world."

The Warmongers Will Never Admit They Were Wrong And Will Never Learn From Their Mistakes

Trump’s former national security advisor John Bolton has a tweet that’s got me absolutely fuming right now.

“In 2018–2019, I made the case for regime change in Iran as often as I could. Voices in Trump’s orbit often cited Iran’s capacity to close the Strait of Hormuz as a reason against regime change. Trump has been fully aware this is a possibility, and yet did not prepare,” Bolton posted.

Can you believe this shit? Dude’s like “Hey, Trump should have known this war would be hard because people tried to warn him not to listen to me!”

Motherfucker THIS WAS YOUR WAR. You were THE “bomb Iran” guy! You made it your entire personality for DECADES. Over the years I’ve used your name God knows how many times whenever I needed an example of a Beltway swamp monster who’s got a throbbing hard-on for war with Iran. Now you’ve finally got it and it’s going exactly as badly as everyone said it would, and you’re like “Yeah well he should’ve known better, people tried to warn him about the Strait of Hormuz”? Fuck you.

These professional warmongers never, ever learn from their errors. Many years after the Iraq invasion turned out to be a disaster, John Bolton was still out there telling the media he believed it was a “resounding success,” conceding only “mistakes that were made subsequently” to the ousting of Saddam Hussein.

They never admit they were wrong. They never admit that their war was a bad idea. They only ever acknowledge that it didn’t happen in exactly the way they imagined it happening in their minds. They live in this fantasy world where all their war agendas would unfold beautifully so long as they could personally control every molecule of matter involved in how it happens, completely ignoring that this is impossible and any war is always going to have an unfathomable number of moving parts you can’t control.

In their eyes the wars are never wrong, they’re only ever executed incorrectly. US military interventionism can never fail, it can only be failed.

Bolton doesn’t even seem to have any idea what Trump could have done differently to stop Iran from closing the Strait of Hormuz. I listened to an NPR interview the other day where he slammed Trump for not having “done the planning in advance” to prevent the Iranian blockade, but he never at any time outlined what Trump could have done to accomplish this. He just said there was “a huge hole in the planning” and that “they apparently didn’t take as seriously as they should have the potential to mine the Strait of Hormuz,” without ever saying what they could have done.

He doesn’t know. He himself, Mister Iran War, had no plan for how to carry out this war without disastrous consequences for the US and its allies. He’s spent his entire blood-soaked career pushing for a war he never had any idea how to actually carry out.

These are the kinds of minds they have spearheading the US empire’s wars.

All the worst people are getting exactly what they want, and it turns out they don’t even want it, like Elon Musk tweeting “Whoever said ‘money can’t buy happiness’ really knew what they were talking about” last month. They’re getting everything they asked for and it’s making everyone miserable, and it’s not even making THEM happy.

The imperial status quo elevates the worst among us. The least wise. The least insightful. The least compassionate. The least deserving. The least qualified.

We need drastic revolutionary change, and we need it now.
