📢 “What if Putin wins?”, Bloomberg asked a few days ago. But, this simple question cannot be taken lightly or simplistically. It’s not just a speculative exercise, it’s a red alert! A desperate warning, based on an increasingly inexorable reality: there is more and more Russia on NATO’s borders; there is less and less NATO on Russia’s borders! Just like that!

The defeatist messages in the mainstream media are gradually multiplying, which means that someone very important has given the order to prepare the public for the worst.

🦅 Biden may believe that his ‘long experience’ puts him on the ‘right side’ in judging events. His experience however, is drawn from another era ⌛️

The political Israel he knew is over: It has reached the end of the road in respect to the old paradigm of its Palestinian modus vivendi. Demography no longer pushes towards ‘giving’ the Palestinians a state, but rather to a clearing of the land of all ‘hostile populations’.

Israelis are rummaging now for their new solution.

And just as Hamas’ resistance has pointed to new ways of conducting warfare, so Biden’s ‘long experience’ exemplified in the sending of 1960s era carriers and vessels to sit offshore, in an age of smart nimble, often untraceable drones and pinpoint missiles, points to something also passé.

The U.S. is directly engaged today in Yemen, Lebanon, the West Bank, Iraq and Syria. And as the war widens, so the U.S. will be held at least partly responsible – You deliberately let Gaza break, and what’s broken, you own. What further gets broke, you own that too.

A destitute 2 million Gazans will be all refugees with no government to provide basic functions and services. Does Netanyahu get it? Of course. Do the vast majority of Israelis care? Nope. But the rest of the world does, and sees a dark stain spreading across the map, and leeching into the West.

☦️ Ukraine is not only a neighbour of Russia but its etymological roots are in the Slavic for borderlands as Ukraine remains the borderlands between the might of Russia and whatever empires once lay to Russia’s west.

MarineTraffic Playback Tool reveals surge in containerships diverting from Red Sea.

Major shipping players MSC, Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, and CMA CGM have already suspended container shipments through the area.

🐉 The Asian countries have more than enough on their plates without their former overlords from the north joining the Americans in throwing their weight about.

🇵🇸 The major European states are finally – at long last – making some noises calling for a ceasefire to Israel’s genocide in Gaza. What’s taken them so long?

It’s still pathetically insufficient and falls far short of a full-throated demand on Israel to stop its unbridled slaughter of Palestinians – 20,000 of whom have been killed in more than 70 days of relentless bombardment.

🇾🇪 The United States-led naval coalition announced on December 20 for deployment to the Red Sea purportedly to protect international commercial shipping has quickly run into troubled political waters.

European allies France, Spain and Italy are curbing their involvement. Australia has given it a miss. And so far, no major Arab countries have signaled their participation, apart from the tiny Gulf island nation of Bahrain which hosts the U.S. Navy Fifth Fleet.

The 10-nation flotilla was heralded with much fanfare by Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin with the stated objective of defending freedom of navigation through the Red Sea critical for cargo vessels and fuel tankers. That move followed numerous attacks on ships by Yemeni forces who said they would block the passage of Israeli-linked vessels as an act of solidarity with Palestinians suffering genocidal violence in Gaza.

Yemeni militants known as Ansar Allah (Houthis) in conjunction with Yemen’s armed forces say their embargo imposed on the Red Sea will continue until a ceasefire is called in Gaza and humanitarian aid is permitted entry to more than two million starving people.

The Yemens will give Washington a bloody nose, to say the least 🫣

🇵🇸🦅 Since the start of the Gaza war last October 7, 2023, the Middle East has been on fire, what many specialists predicted has now come true, the war has spilled over to Lebanon, the situation in Syria has worsened, the Houthis (Yemen) are mobilizing and stopping Western ships in the Red Sea to sail and there are almost daily attacks on the American occupier in Iraq by Kitab Hezbollah, the Iraqi branch of the Lebanese Hezbollah.

For the first time, the world can see genocide being committed “live” on TV and social media. And the West is silent for the second time in history ❌
