For the dumbest of the dumbest…
OSLO, March 3 (Reuters) – The impact on energy flows of U.S. and Israeli military attacks on Iran and Iran’s drone and missile launches against its neighbors could reopen debate in the European Union over banning Russian natural gas imports, Norway’s energy minister said on Tuesday.
European gas prices have jumped 75% this week, hitting multi-year highs as hostilities in and around Iran have impacted gas exports from the Gulf..
This is just ther beginning of the catastrophic inflation in gas prices for Euroturdistan.
From Andrei Martyanov’s Blog
[Knocking another one out of the park…]
“Europe can surely “reopen debate” and debate this debate until hell freezes over, but as Russian anecdote goes about a single babushka being a lone seller of sunflower seeds at the completely empty marketplace–responding to a dude who complained that her sunflower seeds are too expensive, she suggested him to “walk around the market, find a better price”.
Poor, poor dear this Mark Champion (a rather pretentious second name for a guy who is a sore loser) of Bloomberg, he laments:
Bo-Who Bloomberg
“The only winner in the US and Israel’s conflict with Iran is Putin, writes Bloomberg. Columnist Mark Champion argues that US Navy strikes on Iranian targets reduce the likelihood of arms supplies to Ukraine and deplete American missile stocks. This also fuels the rise in global oil and gas prices, which benefits Russia. A prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz could revive the market for Russian energy, providing an opportunity to sell unsold oil.
This is what happens when you have a fraudulent “degree” from Georgetown in “Russian studies” and know nothing but more or less proper grammar when writing about things you have no clue about. We knew it was bad, but now it does disintegrate and the only thing they have left is spin. US legacy media are complicit in covering up pedophilia and what amounts to a treason by ruling class, because of that they are one and the same. There is no distinction. Per Macron and France … LOL. ”

ParticipantThere is only one REAL intelligence in the Universe and it is the intelligence which created that Universe in the first place and thereby governs literally ALL of that Universe’s observable “rules” of operation, which geeks call Science and Logic and Saints call God’s Law and Justice.
We humans, seeking to learn those rules-of-the-road for this world (which we seem to be inescapably stuck in) well enough to survive in it, were simply trying to copy as best we could what was already there and within which we had no choice but to live and work.
So what happens when you do that? What happens when you seek to find out what the heck is this world you’re in all of a sudden, without forewarning?
I’m not trying to be cute & clever with this question here. I mean it as a dead serious question. What happens when you try to copy the entire environment using words and textbooks and careful investigations which are then translated into all of the parts of a language which enables us to see, record and share our findings with other people, and they with us?
What happens is that you develop a TECHNOLOGY, in this case the techniques for communication called LANGUAGE along with the attendant sub-disciplines of language called speech, observation and logic. The language itself is a technological tool of the highest order. It enables groups to exist collaborate and create thought patterns of enormous size that can be turned into complex material and non-material structures called “products” that no single individual could even dream of producing on their own.
Those shared thought patterns can be very impressive. That’s because they are so much bigger than anything we could do on our own. Yup. 10 guys working together can outproduce 1 guy working alone at better than 10 to 1, and that is certainly impressive, and we tend to remember and utilize what we learn from impressive events. We share that knowledge between each other and among ourselves and we call that entire “process” of sharing knowledge LANGUAGE and COMMUNICATION.
Copy it well enough and you will notice that the TECNOLOGY ITSELF (in this case the technology of language and communication) is in fact merely an extremely thin, substandard and very short lived “replica” or “substitute” for the real thing that we’re striving to acquire. But it sure can be made to LOOK like the real thing anyway. Well, it looks that way because it is a very very VERY carefully made copy.
But it is NOT the real thing. It is a copy, very comparable to the paper that pops out of your xerox machine that looks just like the original.
Language and communication copies reality so well that it can start to look like the actual thing that it is trying to emulate: INTELLIGENCE.
Well it ain’t. The copy is NOT intelligence. It is SIMULATED intelligence, and simulated intelligence is absolutely guaranteed to get you killed because it can never, ever, know if it is right or wrong because there is no consciousness in it. Nor could there ever be.
INTELLIGENCE is the consciously aware capacity to know the difference between true from false, right from wrong, and then initiate action intended to bring misaligned parts into better alignment, so that we and others can live.
ARTIFICIAL intelligence is the simulation of that process, which mimics very closely the patterns and processes of human language, and thereby constitutes a machine that processes data just like we do. Look at all the dials, bells and whistles of it’s output is impressive. The big difference is that you know who’s reading the dials and the machine doesn’t know anything. At All.
It’s very impressive because it can process language and logic based data overwhelmingly faster than a single human. What makes it very un-impressive in that without someone to appreciate its output the “thought spewing machine” is just a big pile of junk.
But here’s the part the RoboBoyz always miss when brainstorming their strategy for ruling the world with AI robot control from the comfort of their big easy chairs in Central Control Central.
The rules of language and logic based machine intelligence apply to the herd as much as they do to the pinnacles of power who think they can use ARTIFICIAL intelligence robot machines to rule over the slaves.
The elites with their electronic machine intelligences did not foresee that the herd itself would operate JUST LIKE like a “machine” intelligence, because language and communication ARE the material architecture of thought, which is merely an attempted mimicry of reality.
In other words, the herd has a mind of its own.
And I don’t mean that just in the figurative sense. I mean it in the LITERAL sense, too. The Interchange between all of humanity, through the communication of language delineated ideas, operates as an enormous “machine intelligence”, whose output is manifested in the precise conditions of its entire civilization (wall-to-wall) within the limits and constraints of what humanity can physically control or effect at all.
In other words, humanity operates like a machine intelligence under the direction of its consciously aware and purposeful Creator.
So far, humanity seems to have come up with the right answers well enough to still be here (answers to the questions of what is true and what is false, what is right and what is wrong, what should people do and what should people not do) , because we take advantage of God’s good graces who is standing by ready and willing just for the asking, to check their homework before handing it in for a final grade.
Just tell him what you think you should do next and ask his advice on whether it’s a good idea or not.

Day 5 in Israel’s and the USA’s war of aggression against Iran (Ticker 17:00)
March 4th, 2026
by Peter F. Mayer / Jochen MitschkaThe news of new losses of the Iranian fleet came this morning from an unexpected source: The frigate “Dena” of the Iranian Navy sank off Sri Lanka. About 180 people were on board the ship. 30 sailors were rescued and taken to hospital. The death toll is at least 78 people. The U.S. confirmed the attack by a submarine – a clear act of piracy, since the U.S. has not declared war on Iran. Dena came from a fleet parade in India.

ARE CHINESE TROOPS ALREADY IN IRAN TO TEST HYPER WEAPONS?A high-ranking Russian general with direct ties to the Kremlin has just dropped a massive information bombshell. Chinese military personnel are already on the ground in Iran to test its latest weapons systems. The US and Israel did not see this coming.
The bomb of General Popov
➡️ Retired Russian Major General Vladimir Popov is highly decorated and has far-reaching connections.
➡️ In an interview, he just explained that Chinese troops are already in Iran.
➡️ Not as a consultant. But as active weapons testers.
➡️ Their mission is to test hypersonic missiles and bombs at Iranian test sites.The Zwite Wave Stratgy
➡️ The Iranians have not yet used their most powerful weapons.
➡️ They are holding back a second wave until the logistics of the USA are exhausted.
➡️ Popov explains that Iran is saving everything for the moment when the situation becomes truly catastrophic.
➡️ China is supplying them with supplies precisely for this moment.–

@KimDotcomChina is at war with the US via Iran.
Iranian missiles hit accurately.
The targets are chosen with precision and the results are successful. It suggests that this is no longer limited to Iran’s capabilities.
Iran knows in which hotel and on which floor the CIA and Mossad agents are.
During the 12-day war the accuracy of Iranian missiles was low. Now they don’t miss.
I think China is involved in this war. China helps identify American targets in Arab countries and provides electronic intelligence.
This means that the “eastern front” may soon open up.

ParticipantLarry Johnson lends a little reality to the Air Defense missile math of Empire of Lies AD inventory:
Trumpturd Fanboys: Read & Weep
Note that I am assuming that the entire inventory of US Patriot missiles have been deployed to Israel and US bases in the region. That is a false assumption because there are Patriot missile batteries with a full complement of missiles in other theaters.
At present there are three Patriot battalions permanently assigned/forward-deployed to INDOPACOM (e.g., in South Korea/Japan/Guam areas, like 35th ADA Brigade and 1-1 ADA at Kadena); EUCOM has one Patriot battalion assigned (e.g., units in Germany like Baumholder/Ansbach areas, supporting NATO/Eastern flank).
The US Army has 15 Patriot battalions total (14 fully available as of mid-2025, with one in modernization), each typically consisting of 4–6 batteries (a battery is the firing unit with launchers/radars).
A Patriot battery (also called a fire unit) typically includes 6–8 launchers (Launching Stations), though configurations vary by operator, mission, and launcher type (e.g., M903 for modern U.S. systems).
If we assume that the four Patriot battalions have four batteries each, with 72 missiles per battery, we get a total of 1,152 missiles that must be subtracted from the maximum possible number deployed to the Middle East — i.e., the actual inventory, using the most conservative estimate, is 1,221.
That means the US inventory of PAC-3 MSE missiles, using the assumptions above that Iran is firing 60 ballistic missiles per day, the supply of missiles will run out in 10 days.
This is why I assert that Donald Trump is out of touch with reality.

The Astronomical Daily Costs of the US-Israel-Iran War: Billions and CountingThe escalating conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran, now in its fourth day as of March 3, 2026, has unleashed not only military and humanitarian devastation but also staggering economic burdens.
Daily costs for the primary belligerents and affected regional players are running into the multi-billion-dollar range, driven by intense military operations, defensive expenditures, infrastructure damage, and widespread economic disruptions.
For Israel, earlier phases of direct confrontation with Iran (such as the 12-day war in June 2025) provide a benchmark. Direct operational costs, covering aircraft fuel, maintenance, sortie generation, and offensive munitions, were estimated at around $700 million per day.
However, when factoring in the high price of defensive interceptors (David’s Sling, Arrow 2-3, Patriots, SM-3, SM-6, and THAAD) plus structural damages from missile impacts, the total surged to approximately $2 billion per day.
In the current escalation, with heavier barrages and sustained strikes, comprehensive daily figures, including operations, interceptors, and repairs, could easily exceed $4 billion for the US due to intelligence operations, high numbers of Tomahawk missiles used, and heavy damage to local military bases.
Notably, damage to the base in Qatar has reportedly cost more than $10 billion.Combining these, the US-Israel side alone may be incurring $4-5 billion daily in costs during the last three days.
The ripple effects extend sharply to Arab Gulf countries (UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain), where airspace closures, airport shutdowns, and retaliatory strikes have crippled aviation hubs, creating impacts over $1 billion per day in direct losses.
When adding secondary economic hits (tourism collapse, energy market chaos, supply chain interruptions), Gulf states could face an additional $3-4 billion daily in combined damages.
Altogether, the combined daily toll from US and Israeli military expenditures to Gulf economic fallout, could reach $7–10 billion per day or more, if other economic sectors are considered, a figure that aligns with analyst warnings of attritional warfare burning through resources at an unsustainable pace.
The extension of naval drones into the Med, (on a Russian LNG carrier by Ukraine from Libya), should make the UK and France think twice before sending underarmed and without sufficient AD capital ships there.
aaand the Houthi Government has not even entered the war yet. A last key point is that US ships have to be reloaded in port (vertically), which at the moment is Diego Garcia, a long way away.
