    Comments: “Without the United States everyone would be better off.” I mean obviously we should kill all Americans starting with me.

    I write:
    Without the United States most people in this world would be better off. But you D like the American government and the Israel government are all about killing the poor civilians.

    That is probably the thinking of the American empire given that they started out with killing the native people and stealing everything and slaving people to produce for the empire.

    Russia’s New Warning Shot From Space
    Posted Jun 15, 2026 by Martin Armstrong |

    For years, politicians have been obsessed with tanks, artillery, missiles, and troop counts while the real battlefield has quietly moved into space. The latest reports suggesting that Russian satellites may be capable of disrupting GPS signals on a continental scale should be sending shockwaves through military circles. If these findings prove accurate, then we are looking at a capability that extends far beyond simply making a driver’s navigation system malfunction. GPS is embedded in aviation, shipping, banking, telecommunications, emergency services, power grids, financial transactions, military operations, and virtually every aspect of modern infrastructure.
    According to researchers, dozens of GPS interference events detected across Europe since 2019 may have originated from Russia’s EKS satellite constellation. These satellites were originally designed as part of Russia’s missile early-warning system, but testing suggests they may also possess the ability to transmit powerful signals capable of disrupting GPS reception across vast regions. The significance is not whether a disruption lasts a few seconds or a few minutes. The significance is proving the concept works. Once a nation demonstrates it can interfere with navigation systems from orbit, the entire strategic equation changes.
    What many fail to appreciate is how dependent modern warfare has become on satellite navigation. Precision-guided weapons rely on GPS. Drones rely on GPS. Aircraft, ships, logistics networks, battlefield communications, and intelligence systems all depend on accurate positioning data. Remove that capability and armies suddenly find themselves operating under conditions that resemble an entirely different century. During the Ukraine conflict, both sides have aggressively pursued electronic warfare, jamming systems, and signal disruption technologies. What appears to be emerging now is the possibility of extending those capabilities far beyond localized battlefields and into continental-scale operations.

    Financial markets depend on precise timing synchronization. Cellular networks require timing signals to coordinate traffic. Shipping companies use satellite navigation to move trillions of dollars worth of goods annually. Airlines depend on navigation systems to safely manage thousands of flights every day. Even modern agriculture relies heavily on GPS-guided equipment. The public views GPS as a convenience. Governments and corporations know it has become a critical piece of economic infrastructure.
    This development also highlights something I have warned about repeatedly. The next major conflict will not resemble the wars of the twentieth century. Future wars will target infrastructure before populations even realize an attack has occurred. A cyberattack can disable communications. A satellite disruption can interfere with transportation networks. Financial systems can be disrupted electronically. Power grids can be targeted remotely. The battlefield increasingly consists of networks, satellites, data centers, and communications systems rather than simply soldiers crossing borders.

    The timing is noteworthy. We are entering the most dangerous phase of the geopolitical cycle. The 2026 Panic Cycle year has already begun exposing vulnerabilities across the global system. Relations between Russia and NATO remain strained. The United States and China are engaged in a rapidly escalating technological competition. Military spending is rising globally. Governments everywhere are preparing for contingencies that most citizens never consider. Space is no longer a peaceful frontier. It has become a strategic domain where the major powers are competing for dominance.
    What should concern policymakers is not merely that Russia may possess this capability. The real question is how many nations are developing similar systems. The United States, China, Russia, and other powers have invested heavily in electronic warfare, anti-satellite technology, cyberwarfare, and space-based military assets. Every major power understands that controlling information, communications, and navigation systems may prove more decisive than controlling territory itself.

    The American empire is the source of much evil in this world.

    They will End the Cycle of Civilization. Total Control+Tyranny. We won’t even know WHO to Overthrow.

    Iran warns of ‘harsh response’ as Israel violates ceasefire 84 times in Lebanon
    Tuesday, 16 June 2026 6:53 PM [ Last Update: Tuesday, 16 June 2026 8:02 PM ]

    Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters on Monday warned the Israeli regime to halt repeated ceasefire violations in southern Lebanon or face a “harsh response” from Iran’s armed forces.

    In a statement on Tuesday, the headquarters said the “terrorist army of the Zionist regime” had violated the ceasefire 84 times over the past two days, despite the US president’s announcement declaring an end to the war.

    It noted that the occupation regime has been continuing “crimes and the killing of the oppressed people of Lebanon,” even after the ceasefire was meant to take effect.

    “If the child-killing army of the Zionist regime does not end its evil acts in southern Lebanon, it must await a harsh response from the powerful armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” it said.

    On Tuesday alone, multiple Israeli strikes killed at least four people in southern Lebanon’s Nabatieh governorate, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA).

    The Iranian warning come following the announcement of a memorandum of understanding between Tehran and Washington aimed at ending a war that was imposed on Iran recently.

    War will not end without Israel halting Lebanon attacks, occupation: Araghchi

    Araghchi says any future Israeli attacks on Lebanon would breach an MoU that is scheduled to be signed between Iran and the US.
    Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Sunday that the MoU had been finalized and would be formally signed in Switzerland on Friday. Under the agreement, the war across all fronts, including Lebanon, was to end immediately and permanently starting Sunday night.

    The MoU follows months of war that began on February 28, when the United States and Israel launched a new round of unprovoked aggression against Iran.

    At the same time, Israel intensified strikes on Lebanon, despite a standing ceasefire with Beirut and a subsequent arrangement intended to contain the violence.

    Iranian armed forces carried out retaliatory operations against American and Israeli interests during the fighting, which lasted until April 7. Tehran also responded to repeated Israeli violations of ceasefire commitments related to Lebanon.

    A ceasefire was announced on April 8. Negotiations toward a permanent settlement began soon after, with Pakistan acting as mediator.

    According to the Foreign Ministry, the MoU text is based on a 14-point proposal Iran submitted at the outset of the ceasefire process. The document was reviewed repeatedly over 60 days.

    The ministry said Iran maintained its position throughout the talks despite sustained pressure, continued ceasefire violations, and shifts in Washington’s stance.

    Once signed, the MoU will open a 60-day intensive negotiation phase aimed at resolving remaining disputes between the two sides.
