.

At the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, Russia repeatedly mentioned that the US was running bioweapon labs in Ukraine and planning to use these bioweapons on Russians in Russia and Russian-speaking people in the Donbass.

Ukraine and the US through the CIA and US media lied about this and turned around to claim that it was Russia that was creating a pretext to using bioweapons in Ukraine. Once Russia captured a bioweapons lab in Mariupol, the US media and Ukraine went mute.

And now, this is Tulsi Gabbard, the US Director of National Intelligence, confirming the US really has a bioweapons lab in Ukraine. The technique we saw US and Ukraine use is a well-documented propaganda technique called DARVO, which I have repeatedly mentioned here:

D = Deny - Deny the accusation just as they denied producing bioweapons in Ukraine

A = Attack - Attack the character of the people who accuse them just as they accused Russia of human rights abuses once Russia kept claiming they were producing bioweapons

RVO = Reverse Victim and Offender - Claim the victim is the offender and tag the offender as the victim, just as they tagged Russia, the victim of the would-be bioweapons, as the ones wanting to use bioweapons in Ukraine, while the offenders, Ukraine and the US in this case, were positioned as the would-be victims of these Russian bioweapons
They also have these labs in Nigeria. The Russians exposed it.

Even if it's true why not keep enjoying the oil? Why are you informing Iran?
Because it never happened.

Pedolf just trolling Iran to look tough and smart to its gullible supporters. I like the way Iran is ignoring his bogus claims since it changes nothing on the ground.

⚡President Trump announced that the United States has canceled planned strikes against Iran after negotiations were elevated to Iran’s highest levels of leadership and approved by all parties involved.

Trump said the agreement has been endorsed by the U.S., Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Pakistan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Egypt, and others, adding that the naval blockade on Iran will remain in effect until the deal is formally finalized.

Details on the signing ceremony are expected to be announced soon.

Trump won't get what he wants 🤣🤣🤣. Millions of Iranian crude are being mined daily under the nose of the so called IRGC in the same Strait of Hormuz they claim they are in control of. As in Iran itself has not sold a tenth of what US has moved from under their nose 🤣🤣
Twitter is agog with mockery of the stupidity of Iran and your likes.
Iran called mid strike and begged for the bombing to stop. The same Iran that never spoke directly to US since the ceasefire began and always routed their messages through Pakistan.
Trump said nothing other than signature or face total capitulation.
There is a reason why folks here blocks you. You think like a robot programmed on and for a specific narrative.

The fact that you chose to regulgate what the pedolf said without even the slightest doubt in your mind speaks volumes.

Isn't it the same Trump that lies just about anything? Same man that makes bogus claims that only exist in the figment of his Epstein dominated imagination.

How do you "mine" millions of barrels of oil in a highly narrow and heavily militarized environment without being spotted?

Even if they were using flying saucers, they would have been caught as well, needless to say that moving millions of barrels each day even in the thickest of
nights requires massive, continuous fleet of supertankers that are virtually impossible to hide from ordinary human eyes not to mention maritime and satellite trackers. Oboy, get sense!. cool

Trump is getting nothing. If things are working in his favour, he wouldn't have bribed Iran with $3 billion to stop attacks on its pet project, Israel. cool

Iran wasn't the one that called for a ceasefire, the US did and will still call for an end to this latest round as well.

Right now, Trump is on the same lost ship as Gulliver's travels.

Xi has already left North Korea.

Not gonna lie it was a super boring visit that didn't even get much coverage. Unlike Putin's visit.

Xi is a boring leader.
Xi's clumsy, pacifist leadership style is a big, fat geopolitical red flag for any serious minded and clear thinking country that aligns with China and is relying on Beijing's economic and security coverage as a supposed ally to successfully navigate the modern complex, dangerous and extremely competitive geopolitical terrain. The rocket man in Pyongyang is quite aware of this reality and is one of the major drivers that forced NK to enter into a mutual defense pact with Russia.

While we cannot and must not brush off the immense economic and military support China has provided for NK all these years, one cannot also in the same vein not be disappointed with China's malaria approach to serious geopolitical matters, even ones that threatens its own economic lifeline.

A nation that has attain the status China currently enjoys in both economic, social and military terms, has no excuse to be bullied by other peer or near peer powers. The fact that one of the reasons people are dying today in Iran is as a result of Xi's pacifist leadership style (the absence of which could have prevented or at least, ended this bloodshed earlier) indicates you cannot solely put all your geopolitical eggs in a Chinese basket.

Africa has been a test, Venezuela was a test, and now Iran... in all, the results were disappointing. Panda was tried, measured and found wanting on the big club players scale.

One armada of Chinese military might sent to the Persian Gulf daring anyone to attack its major source of oil would have installed ACs in the heads of the Epstein crazies in the Whitehouse who are hell bent on acting out in toto Elbridge Colby's Strategy of Denial, a containment policy aimed at China as the prime target. But, panda shows to allow Iran, like Venezuela, to get bombed, and even the little help he provided he cannot openly admit. You don't expect Kim Jong-Un to risk his country security with such indomie leadership style.

Well, NK will be forever grateful to China for its help all these years. But, times have changed and the geopolitical realities are accelerating along, hence the pivot towards Russia, something even the brightest geopolitical analyst didn't see coming.

China seems to have realized this and is getting rattled by this new NK-Russia relationship, which prompted this Xi's hasty visit in a bid to reasserts its influence. And that begs the question; what is new that Xi brings to the table? Recently, Pyongyang has realized that it can actually get enough economically, and a lot more technologically via the new Russian connections. Well, I leave you to answer that.

But, you can use the body language as a prelude to answer that.

Xi's visit, though hasty, was long anticipated, and serve as a good pr and confidence boosting for the Korean regime. Aside that, xi does not command that charisma to warrant staying on the news for long. If this was Putin visiting, even mainstream media covens would still be debating it and analyzing every details for long because with the Russians, something new is always on the table. Out of the two, who should be bringing more smiles and grins to Jong un?

China remains an indispensable ally to NKorea, but with Russia, things can only get better on all fronts for Pyongyang.

⚡Iran agreed to halt fire against Israel after the US unfroze $3 billion in Iranian assets, flown from Abu Dhabi to Tehran despite active airspace restrictions — according to an IRGC-affiliated news agency.

The deal was brokered via a Qatari delegation, with the US also promising Israel would restrain its attacks on Lebanon.
Like I said earlier, Iran control all facets of the negotiations on this ongoing brouhaha.

Everything must end favourably on Persia's terms and conditions. Nothing less.

The $3 billion is just one aspect of the many good things Persia's leverage will bring them on the short and long run. In other words, if the genocidal vipers continue their attack on Lebanon, Iran, after a short pause, can resume their hostilities by lobbing missiles against against them as retaliation. Then the US will come up again with another unfreezing of assets --- add that to the millions the IRGC is currently raking in from the toll collections in the strait.

This war has become a blessing in disguise to Iran. The regime have not only won the hearts of the people to its side, the IRGC and whatever actions they take and has taken so far has been legitimized. In summary, Iran has become stronger, more united, and getting richer than ever. Thanks to Netanyahoo and pedolf.

He is out of touch with reality. The earlier he calls it a day the better for him.

Unfortunately, his Epstein controllers still holds the remote to his brain. The distraction with the UFO files release hasn't yielded much fruit either. So, he will have to come up with something sinister if he must get himself off the the line, hook and sinker the Epstein controllers has over him.

⚡Iran has set a new equation, from now on if Israel attacks anywhere in Lebanon including Sothern Lebanon, Iran will strike Israel in response.
Iran controls the escalation ladder, controls Hormuz , and thus dictate the terms on which the hostilities should end. This reality alone is one of Trump's most frustrating nightmare.

And each occasion they attack Iran, Gaza and Lebanon, they lose more credibility before the global order while Iran gets more support from peopl all over the world.

Whatever, comes up hereafter, Iran has laid the precedence and things can only get better for Persia across all fronts.

I am beginning to agree with you.

Iran was rumoured to have acquired nukes from a "named" third party and the white house was allegedly informed about it, promptly necessitating this crumbling ceasefire.

I made light of the information for about a month now, but seeing Trump sounding so frantic and beggarly following today's escalations, now somewhat reinforces my suspicion.

A political career that's careening towards its nadir cannot possibly be the reason Donald Trump (of all people) is feverishly evading a "head-on-a-platter" opportunity to hammer Iran.

Gen. Milley says Kyiv could fall within 72 hours if Russia decides to invade Ukraine: sources
Milley told lawmakers that Kyiv could fall within 72 hours if a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine occurs
Jacqui Heinrich By Jacqui Heinrich , Adam Sabes Fox News
Published February 5, 2022 7:49pm EST Updated February 5, 2022 8:37pm EST
The funny thing is that, technically, General Miley was proved right.

Russian forces did reached the outskirts of Kiev within the first three days of the war in 2022.

The war started on February 24, 2022, and on February 2026, Russian forces in a lightning push has reached Bucha and Hostomel, and captured the strategic Hostomel airport just before the city center itself. Had Putin wanted, he could have leveled Kiev to the ground with heavy bombardment, the Aleppo style. But, he settled for a covert negotiated truce , only for Ukraine pressured by its western handlers (particularly Britain) to turn around and claim "we stood our ground and repelled the enemy" as the Russian huge column of forces started to withdraw back from Hostomel and Bucha as negotiated. The ukronazis further rubbed salt on the injury of the Russians by staging the Bucha massacre and using it as another pr victory over the Russians.

This was the actual reason that got Prigozhin mad with the Russian generals like Shoigu that was handling the war back then. They fell for a Ukraine, western directed truce that never materialize from their end. Same way they're currently toiling with Iran, never keeping to their side of the bargain. Had Russia rained hell on the city when they were positioned there for so long, this war wouldn't have dragged on to this day. I don't know what Putin and his generals were thinking back then. Had it been Medvedev, na rebuild them for dey rebuild kieve today.

So, technically, Miley was right that Kiev would fall in three days---it could have fallen in three days had Putin elated.

Notwithstanding, Kiev still stands today.
