Iranian leaders are so dumb, they'll keep making the same mistakes over and over again.

Don't be surprised more officials are killed this time.

And don't be surprised during the attack, the so called officials are still out in an open mosque praying instead of staying in underground shelters.
They may be on top of their wives like that. If Israel or the US gives them a decapitation strike this time, they are solely to blame because they had all the time to prepare. Unlike the first time, they know they are targets and that Israel and the US will try to kill them.

nyt reporting that they've hurried the aircraft carrier roosevelt to the red sea
obviously to support air defense for israel
forbes corrects this reporting from the nyt
forbes posits that the us sent the uss roosevelt, a destroyer
the aircraft carrier roosevelt remains in cali

always viewed that nyt report with suspicion
OSINT on aircraft carrier positioning is ironclad
was wondering how they snuck it from cali to the med in under 24 hours
don't know if the nyt report was deliberate misinformation
or just a correspondent who made a honest mistake confusing two same-named naval platforms




new reports are that the US is relocating its carrier in the south china sea to the middle east
to reiterate, this aircraft carrier (the abe lincoln) is the only deployed aircraft carrier outside the western hemisphere

i guess they'll imminently dispatch an aircraft carrier from the west coast to replace it
but it also shows how much they think of panda
they would not dare do this under a different emperor
the risk would be too high

I don't think we should beam the search light at Iran now rather at the so called docile and dump allies in China and Russia.
US is bringing in tankers and other equipment and all they are doing is watching.
It is not as if they don't have carriers parked in their shipyards nor air defence systems and batteries.
But he said Iran is a proud country.

Well, posterity will judge Russia and China if Iran falls. First, it was Syria, then Venezuela. Excuses could be made for those countries, but what would be the excuse for Iran? I have watched Alex Karp of Palantir speak about the aforementioned countries, and it was not in a good light. The way he described them was nauseating, as if they held his toy as a baby. These are the kinds of persons Russia and China are playing kpan-kpangolo with.

Tehran has 'no plan' for hangings over protests, says foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has said ā€œthere is no planā€ by Iran to hang people in relation to the anti-government protests.

ā€œThere is no plan for hanging,ā€ Iran’s foreign minister told Fox News. ā€œHanging is out of the question,ā€ he said, cited by Reuters

"I can tell you, I'm confident that there is no plan for hanging," Araghchi said, stressing that no hanging would take place "today or tomorrow

The above where the citations by the Iranian foreign minister

After all the hype of the executions by our in-house chief Propaganda minister he don go quote Propaganda for twitter, they yarn us dust!!

You know it just a resolution abi? It will have to pass the houses, which is virtually impossible to pass. Let imagine it also scale through the house. President Trunp has the veto power to scrap it all

It just a symbolic action, as long as Trump isn't committing the US military into a large scale operation.. he is acting within his powers.

Obama did not inform the US Congress before going into Pakistan to kill Osama bin laden

The Congress have the exclusive rights to sanction a large scale military operation, like invasion and so on, Trump can used the military apparatus for small scale operations..it all technicalities.. for example Trump was only enforcing a arrest warrant as Maduro has already been indicted in the US.

It a mere symbolic action, I think the Senate also pass one during his first tenure.
I like I said before it would be virtually impossible for the resolutions to pass through the houses.

6 AM in tehran

one word to describe araqchi, iran's foreign minister, interview with fox is defiant

almost makes it certain that the americans did hit up the iranians to negotiate impose their will
and when the persians heard america's terms, they said f*ck off
causing trump to publish that tirade asking his crisis actors to seize institutions in iran

the loudmouth complained yesterday that khamenei does not respect him
as if there's anything to respect
respect is earned

the color revolution/insurgency failing
starlink crippled
his threats having no effect on the brutal crackdown and stability of the government
the gulf telling him to pack his load from their territories

plus politico releasing a poll that americans think he has gone too far with the threats on iran
https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/14/trump-iran-foreign-policy-00728851
a whopping 80% of independents (neither democrats nor republicans) oppose a strike on iran even if protesters are killed
so if this debacle ends in failure after an overt attack dude is done

the 🤔 in a state of disbelief

unfortunately for him, there is no off ramp
he would have to attack
and he would have to welcome body bags and watch his military assets burn across the levant

the most important thing to note though is that persia is not relenting from its war posture

as of writing
iranian airspace is completely free of air traffic, save for less than half a dozen domestic flights

in araqchi interview, iran also reiterated every hardline position
enrichment will continue on iranian soil
all other demands are not worth responding to

The USA aircraft carrier that left Asia will arrive in the Middle East in 7 days or more. It could be a decoy and it could be go time in 7days. Persia will not lose guard in anyway. They are ready and this time around there will be no limitations to their retaliation on Israel. It will be Aura for Aura.

Surplus that will evaporate under sanctions now.
Let them be there deceiving themselves with surplus trade.
Cuba is almost on a 60 years sanction, Venezuela around 3 decades, Iran, Syria had theirs.
A 3 decade sanctions on China will turn their surplus to massive deficit.
Which is why they are installing their lackeys everywhere and fine-tuning policies. Just recently, Kenya had to suspend signing a trade deal with China, which will remove tariffs on their goods due to US pressure. Meanwhile, the same US is yet to renew the grace period it had with Kenya after AGOA ended. And there is Cambodia which is labelled a China satellite state befriending the US and aims to reduce investments on China. Yes, the non-political interference is actually a plus on China's side, but for allies, those with important resources and geographical neighbours, things might have to change.

He added that relations with the US had improved as ā€œmisunderstandingsā€ about Cambodia’s Ream naval base had been cleared up. The US suspects Cambodia hosts Chinese naval forces at Ream, which is strategically located on the Gulf of Thailand. Cambodia and China have denied this.
"Cambodia looks to reduce reliance on China amid US trade war" - FT

You see, these are the issues. If China should not have a say on what happens in the Western hemisphere, why does the US believe it should have a say on what happens within China's periphery?



I was the one quoting, but the inclusion of the FT link got me banned thrice!

I knew this latina grandma Madame Delcy RodrĆ­guez would be the best option for the US

Trump called her "terrific" I think she has been more than terrific!!

While Russia is fighting a four years war just to rein in a neigbour while incurring thousands of casualties. The US got it done in matter of hours!!

There's oil at the end of the tunnel!!

Anyone with brains would avoid going to the World Cup there right now. I wonder why FIFA would want to host a World Cup in a country that isn't safe from gun violence. A fan from another country could taunt one of them and the next thing is to pull out their gun and shoot the person. I can't even imagine it.
So, about 6% of the world population don't have s***se. They don't know about gun violence in America. It is you, in your mud house with thatched roof that has it and knows it. Thank the heavens the world doesn't revolve around your propagandas.

⚔Trump on Greenland:

ā€œI can’t rely on Denmark being able to defend itself on its own. They talked about it, they even added an extra patrol and they were serious about it.

They deployed an additional dog sled, then another one.

But that’s not going to do the trickā€
