Mark Chagall I and the village 1911 • Iran Isn’t Moving Public Opinion—Trump Is (DS) • Iran Says Strait Of Hormuz Open (ZH) • Trump to Replace Kirsti
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle March 6 2026]News Rules
Since the Empire of Lies sank an unarmed Iranian ship coming home from an invitation to an event in India, I guess the Iranians can now sink any USSA naval vessel, anywhere in the world, with no notice or warning as payback.
Anywhere in the world, say New York Harbor, or off the coast of any USSA naval base anywhere in the world, anything is fair game from here on out.
News Rules
The Iranians have submarines to.
If I were the Iranians I would take one of their mobile missile launchers, which can fit into the back of a standard tractor trailer, put it on an ordinary container ship that was going nearby say, Diego Garcia, and once within range, launch a hypersonic missile and sink a USSA carrier, without notice, or warning, to the bottom of the ocean, with the whole crew.
There, we’re even.
What goes around comes around
The World is their oyster.
@Michael Reid
But Dude, didn’t you know the DOW hit 50,000?
Didn’t you know DrD said the ‘market’s’ reactions prove this isn’t a War?
Data Center Hunter: Iran Expands Drone Target List, From AWS To Microsoft Facilities
“Iranian state-affiliated media says the IRGC has targeted Microsoft data centers in the Gulf region with kamikaze drones, days after IRGC drone strikes hit Amazon data centers in the United Arab Emirates.
This underscores a new escalation: commercial data centers no longer appear to be off-limits, a risk we warned readers a little more than a month ago.”
Hey, how about as per the Empire of Lies sinking unarmed vessels like a Nazi U-boat skipper, that Iranian Sleeper Cells, part of the great illegal immigrant invasion of the USSA start blowing up Data Centers all over the country?
Yah, that’s the ticket!
Cause the Empire of Lies doesn’t believe in no stinking rules!
Let’s open up the Field of Play
Kinda like ‘our goose is cooked’ but different……
Humans have learned virtually nothing in 10,000 years of ‘civilization’ and warfare
No plan, no phucking plan, great..
Israel Lies About Everything, They are getting the Shit Kicked out of Them
Radars, missiles, F-15s, sirens, …
“Hegseth said eight weeks yesterday.
Today he said a hundred days.
That’s September.
Four days became four weeks became eight weeks became a hundred days.
At this rate the Pentagon will be asking for “whatever it takes” before the ink dries on the next headline…”
“On the Israeli side, we effectively have an information blackout. CNN admitted on air – on camera – that the Israeli government doesn’t allow them to show it.
A CNN reporter saying the censors won’t let her report the war.
Israeli military censorship laws make it nearly impossible to independently verify anything. Bahrain is arresting people for filming missile impacts.
The only country in this conflict with a functioning free press is… Iran?
I need that drink again.”
The IRGC announced wave 20 of ballistic launches today. Twenty.
And for the first time, incoming ballistic missiles hit the center of Tel Aviv without sirens going off.
Read that again. No sirens.
Iranian Plan, ya, they got one
Blind Israel by Killing All the Radars
“I’ve been tracking the radar destruction campaign since day one.
Today it stopped being a data point and started being people who didn’t get to run for shelter.The sensor network I’ve been writing about is now degraded to the point where missiles are arriving unannounced.
That’s the practical consequence of $3.4 billion in ground-based sensors turned to scrap.
Kill the radars. Shoot down the drones. Then bring the heavy stuff.
The ‘Heavy Stuff’ is Coming Next Week, be There or Be Square
Part II
Zionaziland Always Lies About the Damage
The Heavy Stuff
“And boy, did the heavy stuff arrive!
A Khorramshahr missile launched at Tel Aviv today.
1.5-ton warhead.
First confirmed combat use.
For context, most of what Iran’s been firing carries 500 to 750 kilos.
This is a city-killer that showed up on day six, precisely when the Israeli air defense network is Swiss cheese.”
Payback is a Bitch
“Plus cluster warheads.
Plus missiles with multiple independent warheads.
Ten separate attacks on Tel Aviv today. Between 2:30 AM and 11 PM.
The escalation ladder the IRGC telegraphed on day one – “what comes next are systems you have never seen” – is being climbed one rung at a time.
Proof of Concept
Bahrain’s main refinery is on fire.
BAPCO. 267,000 barrels a day.
Iranian missiles punched through despite Bahrain claiming to have intercepted 75 missiles and 123 drones in the same wave – the highest single-day figure for any Gulf state.
The refinery burns anyway.
This is the first confirmed direct Iranian hit on Gulf energy infrastructure.
Ras Tanura on day three was disputed. BAPCO isn’t. Video from multiple angles. Locals watching and filming. (Before getting arrested for filming, because Bahrain adopted the Israeli censorship playbook.)
Bahrain produces less than 0.2% of global oil.
But Iran doesn’t care about Bahrain’s barrels.
This is a proof of concept aimed at every insurance underwriter on the planet.If BAPCO burns,
Ras Tanura can burn.
Abqaiq can burn.
Fujairah can burn.
The message isn’t about Bahrain.
The message is about the next refinery, and the one after that.”
Boom, boom, all gone
So Sad. ;>(
Gold and silver both plummet. No war. Oil nowhere at $84. No war. Dow at 47,000, 10k above last year. No war. Bonds likewise perfectly happy. No war.
Explain?
“100 days of total consumption,” … hardly anyone expects [the war] to last that long.”
People like Davis were losing their minds that Asia had only a YEAR of resources stocked. Huh? That’s miles past safe, beyond hoarder, into “What the heck are you doing” category. O-kaaaaaay….
China knows, and called their guy Newsom – they guy who cleaned SF for Xi but not Americans, remember? — and had him shut off a critical, complicated refinery in California, which he happily did. This will destroy like San Diego Naval base, Nevada, Arizona….
“China has All the Cards in the Middle East” – Unz.Huh? Officially China isn’t even IN the Middle East. Yup, China conquered us now. We are a conquered nation, totally collapsed, Iran has removed 4 layers of our government and is occupying us now. Honest. Give up now. Resistance is Futile.
Guess we shouldn’t have landed those billion soldiers in Kiev and Caracas.
Meanwhile, back in the Real World, high energy prices have stopped the ONLY major war on the planet – the two MILLION mass-murdered in Ukraine. Europe either 1) Has no money for war and no energy to make weapons and stops or 2) In order not to all die, makes peace with Russia and stops.
They don’t look in the mood to stop even now, mass-murder historically being their thing, above all other nations on earth, so I guess they want to try the “We fight to collapse and stop” model. Okay then. Russia isn’t being hurt hardly at all, you do that.
And all it took was sort of a brushfire war (still deadly) a few miles south. Odd. But perhaps totally worth it.
At the same time this happens, there is LITERALLY no alternative than the United States, Stocks and Bonds, if all Europe is about to Black Hole, and ALSO has no freedom, and ALSO has no law. The Iran war IS going to make us a lot of money, but not in the way you think. And it WILL bring freedom, but to Germany, not Iran. Or both.
“The Planned “NATO Bank” Is Expected To Finance Europe’s Impending Arms Race With Russia
That’s not how things work, actually…? If you “Just say” you have assets, those assets are repriced to crash of confidence in the currency.
“The Roman Empire Peaked In 117 ADYet 200 years later had not a bit of trouble making infrastructures larger than ours. That’s a very odd “peak” – sounds more like “Forever”.
Protesting in the Capital “US Marines are not allowed to engage in political activity while they are wearing their uniform. They are also not allowed to wave the flag of adversaries.”
Is everyone more fragile than ever? How do you break a Marine’s arm? I had not thought of that, but there’s a reason you can’t protest while a soldier, and ESPECIALLY in, or using, your uniform, which apparently he did often. Save it for when you get out. We don’t have a draft, so you knew the rules and were read to you when you signed up. Lucky you’re not court martialed. On the other side, this is a messaging failure for Trump, as he refuses to admit or explain why he’s there. His given reasons so far are gibberish, putting me in the idiotic position of having to figure out why for myself.
“Mearsheimer joins Daniel Davis Deep Dive to expose the fatal “Regime Change” fantasy driving the push for war with Iran “We don’t have an (militarily) achievable goal for victory”
We’re not fighting Iran. That’s why you’re confused. Also we ALREADY did “regime change”. Everyone in the Regime is dead. That leaves new people. We ALREADY did that John, time exists.
“AfD Alice Weidel DECLARES Abolishment of the European Union.”That is who we’re fighting. With their cohorts in UK. If you want to know about EU-UK, look at Brexit. They had YET ANOTHER referendum, again, that they will only allow the people to vote if they win…and lost. That’s how much normal people hate them. In response UK (under May) gave away everything in the UK, even fish flopping on English beaches, prevented the currency repricing that would create jobs and reindustrialize, the Bank of England shot their Prime Minister in 30 days, and then they 10x the number of Immigrants allowed in with infinity benefits, which was roughly the purpose of Brexit. So UK voted for Brexit, and “The EU” – roughly – carpet bombed England from orbit then salted the earth with the bodies of white men and raped English girls. So yes, UK – their leadership class — are 10x more EU than even EU is.
So that’s who we’re fighting in the Gulf. And thankfully AfD is able to open yet another front on these cultural holocaust and industrial girl-rapers using up Ukraine and UK. Can’t come a moment too soon. It’s even possible that SOME European culture MIGHT survive, along with SOME of the original native peoples there, but it’s too early to be sure. It’s very possible some nations will cease to exist – as Ukraine already has.
“• Iran Isn’t Moving Public Opinion—Trump Is (DS)
Strangely, this is my impression. You’d think it would – we’re all mad – but since nobody can understand wtf he’s doing there, no one’s voting position has changed yet. So it’s just a holding pattern.
“• Iran Says Strait Of Hormuz Open (ZH)
WHO? Who in “Iran”? What is an “Iran”?
Okay, why does that come up? As pointed out, Iran had a lot of sympathy, and sympathy for being bombed, even among what are basically hardline rivals like Riyadh. Right. UNTIL !!!! …”Iran” used missile strikes on EVERY neighbor. They bombed everyone they could reach in the whole neighborhood, all their “friends” or possible allies.
Yeah, THAT didn’t go well.
Okay, WHY?
OBVIOUSLY, bombing your neighbors blows that whole “Christian Crusade” “Evil, Imperialist America” “Unhinged Trump” narrative. You could not POSSIBLY have shot yourself in the foot harder. This makes NO SENSE. AND they have Hormuz both Open, and Shut. AND they are talking about allying with Oman (other side of the Strait) AND bombing them. What the…?
AND Iran HAS sunk ships there, AND is saying it’s open what are you talking about?
Yes. Because no one will move from Crayons to pencil. It all comes clear if the IRGC is bombing everyone, but “Iran” – the Iranian military — is not.
But wait: Okay, the IRGC is off the ranch and bombing everyone, screwing up their whole case, but STILL that’s strategically bad for “Iran”. What gives?
YES. And now you know that the IRGC DOES NOT WORK FOR IRAN. As proven by constant Anti-Iran actions this week. AND they were the ones trying to rogue-smuggle and rogue-assemble a dirty bomb and blackmail Trump with it at the negotiations.
But they’ve been there for decades. If the IRGC doesn’t work for Iran who do they work for???
Yes. NOW you see the confirmation of all the suspicions, including my own that “Something” is living in Iran I can only see by the absence of light where it walks. An Anti-Iranian force was living in Iran the whole time, directing the civilian government with leverage and Intel. Just like our Dulles CIA does here.
Again, we don’t know, but rough guess from everyone over decades of looking is, IRGC is LONDON. Always has been. They keep the instability in the whole middle east as their EvilCorp business model. So they don’t WANT the war to end.
Suppose someone whacks the CRAP out of them, such that – unlike here – the Iranian Civilian government can get control of the (CIA-like) IRGC there? What would they do?
A: They would BOMB EVERYONE, and create as much war, chaos, and bad blood as possible on their way out. This serves BRITISH interests best. …And NOT Iranian ones. Because Iran has to live there after.
Iran wants/says “The Straits are open” because they need to be a good neighbor in the area, and also collapse if they can’t sell oil themselves.
The IRGC is sinking ships, blowing up neighbors and says the Straits are shut. Harming Iran on behalf of London. Why? The Straits were NOT closed, so Lloyd’s of London closed them. IRGC=London again.
These two pieces of “Iran” are fighting. They’re fighting us, sure, but it’s looking like they realize they’re fighting each other. Like maybe they thought there was stress, a difference of outlook, but not to this level. The war is highlighting they’re two different countries.
• Iran Says Strait Of Hormuz Open (ZH) All in that one headline.
Trump then “Opens” the straits – which weren’t shut – by going around London and insuring directly.This is a frontal, foundational attack on London. This is cutting off the entire British Colonial Business model.
Everyone is mad. How dare you stop colonialism??? Why I will fight, fight anyone who stops my colonialism, sir.
“• Trump to Replace Kirsti Noem at DHS With Mullin (Matt Margolis)
Good. Maybe the deal he cut was she had to be in at least a year.
“he doesn’t want to make personnel decisions based on Democratic messaging or media pressure.” NBC News similarly reports”
So if he Keeps her, he’s bad. But if he fires her, he’s also bad. All things are bad. That’s the setup in the news, Media. Okay, fine, so why do you fall for it?
“• Churchill Saw the Cold War Coming (David Manney)
I would think so. He MADE it happen, against all our wills. Russia was our ally and won the war for us. The Soviets tried everything to make a clear detente – same as today – and the West would have none of it. They FORCED the Cold War and Iron Curtain to exist with economic belligerence. In fact, they wanted to nuke Russia immediately but were restrained. (constantly, and right through til Reagan stopped them they were still trying yearly)
“the Soviet Union had begun shaping Eastern Europe in its image, bringing the governments of many nations into line with Moscow.”
Yes, and that’s fair, but their governments WERE 99.5% full Nazi. So it’s not like you could KEEP them, or “go back”. The only possible location, as they were all conquered, shattered, and incredibly dangerous was to have SOME kind of direction from outside. And as they border Russia, not us, many are also Slavic, and have been transacted with Russia since the Vikings, Russia is the obvious choice. Churchill wanted to own, colonize, and extract them for the far West instead, and that’s Bulls—t, obviously. He has no business there. Britain also causes hundreds of millions of deaths in their colonial era, specifically India, so they have no standing in history to be trusted either. Heck, they’re killing Welshmen with hunger and cold still today.
“a month ago President Donald J Trump bombed Caracas,”
Is this a bit strong? Possibly inappropriate? Like we don’t call SWAT team clearing a building “Bombing” the building. Probably not. Probably this is in bounds for the definition of that word.

Yes. This infuriates a whole class of women, AND being gay infuriates a whole class of men, primarily black. I don’t make the rules.

“DrD said the ‘market’s’ reactions prove this isn’t a War?”

Part IV
Iran has a Sense of Humor
“China is in talks with Iran for safe passage of Chinese tankers through Hormuz.
If that works, the strait isn’t really closed.
It’s selectively open.
Open for friends.
Closed for everyone else.
A patron-based maritime system where passage depends on whose flag you fly.
Freedom of navigation, RIP.”
[ Hahaha ]
“Here’s the fun part though: Iran’s regular military says the strait is open.
The IRGC says it’s closed.
Internal disagreement? Or the most elegant good-cop-bad-cop in maritime history?
The regular military keeps the door cracked for China.
The IRGC keeps everyone else out.
My thoughts? I think they’re reading from the same script.”
“An oil tanker got hit 30 nautical miles off Kuwait. Not near Hormuz. Inside the Gulf. Northern waters.
Then three more vessels in 24 hours – the Gold Oak, Libra Trader, a container ship called Safeen Prestige that’s now on fire, and the MSC Grace. Sea-borne kamikaze drones.
A New Vector.
One day after they torpedoed the IRIS Dena.
“You sank our warship returning from a peace exercise. We’ll burn your tankers in your own waters”.
Tit for tat, except the tats are getting bigger.The End
Part V
But, but, but, I’ve been assured by Smartz People that this is not a War
South Korea has nine days of LNG left.
Nine.
“A lawmaker said it in parliament. The government replied: “doesn’t matter”.
Japan has 254 days.
South Korea has nine. That’s why KOSPI is the most violent major market in the world right now – crashing 12%, rallying 12%, crashing again.
An industrial economy running on fumes, watching its energy lifeline close in real time. LNG shipping rates up 750% in a week.”
Part VI
[Since Trumptard had no real ‘plan’ before blundering into this it’s not hard to figure.]
And nobody’s talking about water.“The UAE runs at 1,533% water stress. Saudi Arabia at 974%. Kuwait gets 90% of its drinking water from desalination plants.
Plants that run on power.
Power that runs on the same energy infrastructure Iran just proved it can hit.
If targeting shifts from military bases to desalination plants, the humanitarian timeline isn’t weeks. It’s days.”
These countries have strategic petroleum reserves. They do not have strategic water reserves.
There is no emergency water OPEC to call.
The Empire of Lies doesn’t plan, mindless demonic hegemons don’t plan, they just Act
“Almost 30% of global ammonia production and half of all urea are at risk or directly involved in this conflict.
That’s fertilizer.
[Trumptard doesn’t know what ammonia is, he’s not very well read, well he doesn’t read at all except for attention scan deficit Twits. ]
That’s food.
For everyone. American corn farmers, Brazilian soy growers, Indian wheat fields – they all depend on Gulf-sourced inputs that aren’t moving.
Planting season doesn’t wait for ceasefires. Miss the window, and it doesn’t matter if Hormuz reopens in June. The crop that wasn’t planted doesn’t grow retroactively.”
Part VII
The Iranian Say What They Mean and Mean What They SayTrumpturd?
Not so much…
“Iran’s foreign minister went on NBC today. The exchange was remarkable.
Asked if Russia and China are actively helping Iran in this war he replied:
“They have always helped us”.
The journalist pressed: “Does that mean yes”?
Araghchi smiled: “I’m not going to disclose details in the midst of a war”.
Then, on whether Iran wants a ceasefire:
“The war will continue. We see no reason why we should negotiate with the US”.
Perfidy garners the wages of Sin.

Air Defense Missiles: STOCK DEPLETED
Large Scale Redeployment Underway
Military Summary 2026.03.6
———–BREAKING: China just ordered Sinopec and PetroChina to stop exporting diesel and gasoline.
Chinese refiners reckon they have about 10 days of buffer before domestic operations become genuinely constrained. If Hormuz remains closed past that window, within two months China faces real supply problems. Two months of China running at reduced industrial capacity is not an energy market event. It is a global recession event.
————-And finally Trumpturd & the Kurds
What I predicted yesterday….
[ The Kurds are Losers. Have been for decades, no reason to think they ‘wised up’]
“Trump called Kurdish leaders on day one. Barzani. Talabani. Told them to pick a side – America or Iran. Offered “extensive American air support”.
The Washington Post reported Kurdish officials were told point blank: choose.
“The wife of the Iraqi President, herself a senior figure in Talabani’s party, responded publicly:
“After what happened to us in Syria, we refuse to be used as pawns by global powers again”.
Thousands of Kurdish fighters reportedly crossed the border into western Iran anyway – but the political leadership is publicly distancing itself.
The proxy playbook requires willing proxies. These ones remember what happened last time.”
Hahahaa
[The Iranians were waiting for the Kurds and ambushed them inflicting heavy casualties.]
@zerosum #233530
About the cascade of failures (within a brittle system) of the gate swung shut across the Straits of Hormuz:
[according to the allegorical cautionary tale synopsized by an AI somewhere] “In the old proverb “For Want of a Nail,” a single horseshoe nail is missing, so a horseshoe comes loose and is lost. Without the shoe, the horse falters and is lost. Lacking the horse, its rider (a messenger) cannot deliver vital news and is lost. Without the message, the army fails, the battle is lost, and ultimately the kingdom falls. All this disaster stems from neglecting one small nail—illustrating how minor oversights can trigger cascading catastrophe.”
Moral of the story is that one shouldn’t ride horses through the Persian Gulf during a missile storm, or something like that.
On a lighter note:
The Collapse of Ah’merica’s College Industrial Complex CIC
Banks, lending ‘money’ for useless degrees not worth the paper they are printed on.
AI is already gutting the need for ‘college degrees’, especially genderless-comparison-arbitrage-studies.
A patron-based maritime system where passage depends on whose flag you fly.
In other words, a Toll Gate. An old idea but a good one. Until misuse of the self-serving “income opportunity” which it provides forces customers to find a better cheaper faster route, after which the gate ain’t worth the abandoned road that it used to extort money with. Other alternatives include disgruntled customers ganging up and taking the gate away from you (Suez, Bosporus) or just go find a better game (Northwest Passage through the Arctic).
At the end of the day merchants will find or create ways to get their goods to market, and on an ocean covered spheroid there are an infinite number of possible routes to everywhere. The cost/benefit analysis of viable alternatives creates lots of jobs keeps all the delinquents very busy out on the streets causing trouble in their effort to get “one up” on the competition.
And you just know that they are just going to keep doing that no matter how much we tell them to please just settle down and play nice. Boys will be boyz, and there are going to be bullies in any bunch of them.
Play ball!

As yesterday: “Shanaka Perera (again) Iran just fired a ballistic missile toward Turkey. Then Iran said it did not.”
So like “The Straits are Open and Closed,” the IRGC/London tried to start a world war by bombing Turkey, which the Iranian government didn’t plan and knows nothing about. Right? Probably? Makes sense? I mean, WTF would they bomb TURKEY?
“The question is not whether Iran fired the missile. The question is whether 32 governments are prepared to treat this war as their war. Hegseth’s silence was the answer.”
And that answer makes WAY more sense under my model than the official one.

Targeted? Or hit? Either way, why not? Yet confidence in the U.S. appears to remain high. Why?

“America Is WINNING” — But Iran Just Hit Amazon, Qatar & US Embassy Back” — Ried
I don’t understand why this is relevant. Amazon is a company, Qatar is a country, and the Embassy is in the region. Is this because in wars on TV with the Marvel Avengers no one ever dies or gets hit back?
“Evidence of the DEATH of Hundreds of US Troops emerged” That would make sense. Wouldn’t surprise me. Yes, double capitalize, Bold: “Death”. Soldiers die. That’s a thing, it actually happens, yes. The assumption seems to be soldiers never die and wars don’t have explosions. You’re alarmed and discovering that they do. We already knew that. Americans are aware.
“Gilbert Doctorow: Attack on Iran Hardens Russia’s Stance on Ukraine”
Also good, and here’s a guy that’s been mostly right. Russia will do whatever they feel like. Europe will eat it.
“How a Strike in Tehran Triggered Panic in Zhongnanhai” Odd. They’re probably overstating their case. Everyone is “Panicking” 24/7 25 years in a row. Not sure “Panic” means that.
“Within 48 hours of the conflict starting, that number went to 1% of hull value. Eight times higher. For one voyage.”
Okay that makes SOME, far distant sense of why you would sink a warship in India. Which wasn’t explained and make very little sense otherwise. So London’s response is: to make everyone worldwide pay through the nose, while they collect mad cash. Nice model! There’s no payout that can balance that. The U.S. however arranges that they get priced out and lose the market. A major leg of their Empire.
“..Hegseth said eight weeks now. Four days became four weeks became eight weeks. At this rate we hit “whatever it takes” by Friday…”
True it seems. And if the war lasts, Trump begins to lose from it and everyone knows all they need to do is drag it out.
“..Hormuz tanker traffic down 90-94%.”
Yet I’m seeing maps with ships everywhere in the gulf, also including through the straits. Someone want to clear the fog? They’re both in and out? I’d say time-stamp them, but they’d just photoshop the pic.
“I am sure that the Navy will find ways to let Trump know how futile the escorts would be.” MoA
I disagree. That would be embarrassing. He’s never done that before. So he’s up to something. Doubt it’s a wonderweapon, so probably it’s that they already can’t mine it, will run out of that type of arms, and IRGC will shortly after be put down by whatever becomes the new Iranian government, which Russia and China are deciding and reporting on right now. Like Russia says, “It is proceeding normally, but will still be a week before we can pick a man/plan there.” Trump feels secure enough in that to tamp down alarm over the straits, etc.
“The White House seems to have given little though about the global economic and other damage that its war against Iran would cause.”
That is bizarrely childish and irrational thing to say. That’s saying “No one in the whole U.S. government knows that the world exists.” No. The problem is, the “Damage” they are causing, they WANT to cause. On Europe and/or China. But they can’t admit their real target is England, can they? They can’t say their intent is to economically bomb Europe into the stone age. And the reason we’re doing that is because Europe is run by Nazis.
“Energy Expert Warns UBS Just How Many Weeks A Hormuz Shutdown Would Send Markets “Out Of Control”
Yes. What if the POINT is to make the markets out of control? What is that’s their only goal? Like go to 100%, make sure it tips at 101%, then pull back immediately since that’s the only purpose. Why not?
BOTH Iran is hitting anything they like better and better, AND Iran is degraded and we’re now flying sopwith camels with dumb bombs. Both winning and losing, hard. Let’s split the difference: part of what’s happening is Offensive weapons are way better than defenses in 2026. So it’s very hard not to get hit, whether you’re Israel, Iran or Cyprus.
One person not getting hit though: The United States.
Israel is probably getting pummeled to powder though. So sad. They had a war addiction they couldn’t seem to fix and it’s being fixed now.
@DBS
Iran just destroyed three or four in the northern Persian Gulf, not around the Strait of Hormuz, as a sort of answer to the Empire of Lies sinking and unarmed Iranian naval ship off Sri Lanka.
“You sink our shit, we will sink your shit.”
No limits
No one believes Trumpturd saying the Empire of Lies will ‘insure’ their tankers.
The Empire of Lies has ZERO credibility. Zero
There will be zero takers on the offer of a pathological liar like Trumpturd.
He will never be believe again by anyone except the mentally retarded.
“Saudi Arabia is actively shifting oil exports to its Red Sea terminals, primarily Yanbu, to bypass the Strait of Hormuz during current regional disruptions.
Just saw a video of Yanbu getting hit with missiles and drones. It was on fire in places
The Houthis can easily hit Yanbu also.
The East-West Pipeline (Petroline) moves crude from eastern fields to these western ports, which have seen3x higher traffic.
Key details regarding Saudi port strategies:
Alternative Export Hub: The Yanbu Crude Terminal on the Red Sea has become critical for maintaining supply, with multiple supertankers loading there in March 2026.
Capacity Concerns: While Yanbu offers a bypass, it is unclear if its loading capacity can fully replace the massive volume of the primary Ras Tanura terminal, which sits inside the Persian Gulf.
Primary Terminal Status: Ras Tanura remains the largest facility for crude oil, but its operations are affected by the blockage.
Risk Factors: The Red Sea route carries its own risks, specifically potential attacks from Yemen
If oil prices rise anywhere in the world, the markets will force the price of gas and oil to skyrocket in the Empire of Lies, just in time for Mid-terms.
Craptistic!
Reminds me of an old girl friend I once had. ;>)
The so-called “Middle East” is the toll gate between The Eastern and Western hemispherically arranged clusters of various land masses that constitute Earth. As such the area has been THE most hotly and persistently contested real estate on the planet going back AT LEAST 13,000 years. (and yes, that is a fact with mountains of evidence of every kind that you can imagine and a few other kinds that you didn’t think of.
Believe it or not (and I recommend that you believe it, because it is true) this even plays out all the way down to the genetic line, which also divide into two extremely large and loosely separated groups …. who unsurprisingly fight it out (most frequently) within that small corridor.
You can have an Empire in the East and you can have an Empire in the West, and they can fight for supremacy in the Armageddon that stretches between them. But to take ALL of the marbles you must own and control the toll gate. Hence Israel. The would-be Toll Master of the whole world.
I GUARANTEE you that the plan won’t work (it has been attempted many times) because in an absolute hierarchy there can only be ONE Top Dog (my apologies, @TopCat), and there will always be three dogs in the fight.
If the Iranians see ‘entremanures’ trying to bypass their controls, they will smoke the Saudi oil terminals:

Thu, March 5, 2026 at 5:24 a.m. PSTIn any fight, and this goes for ALL fights (I repeat, any, and all) there are at least two parties to the dust-up, both of whom insist upon having things their own way, regardless of what the other guy wants. They both have the free will to either impose their own will over the other party’s free will, or not impose it and just let the other guy do any crazy fucking thing that he wants.
Obviously there are certain inescapable limits to how much ‘free will’ you can let the other guy have before things get kind of existentially dicey. You can’t, for example, allow him the uncontested freedom to rape and murder children or to kill you and your whole family because they want the land you’re standing on.
Nevertheless, and I just have to say this again, all fights do consist of at least two people insisting upon having control over the other. BOTH insist that their own ‘free will’ includes the right to nullify, remove and terminate the other guys free will about something.
Here’s a joke, “Two free wills walked into a bar. The rest is history.”

BREAKING: Multiple Iranian missiles have struck Tel Aviv and other areas in central Israel.Videos show buildings sustaining heavy damage, and one missile reportedly landed near Ben Gurion Airport, which hosts U.S. aerial refueling tankers used in operations against Iran.
Another missile appeared to carry a cluster-munition warhead, detonating midair and dispersing numerous submunitions. No interception attempts were visible in footage of that strike.
➤ Earlier today, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) published video showing the launch of Kheibar (Khorramshahr-4) ballistic missiles toward Israel. It is not immediately clear whether the missiles seen in the Tel Aviv strike footage were from that system.
It was not immediately clear whether any settlers were injured or killed in the attacks.
The big joke on Satan is that he has free will, too, and can do any fucking thing that he wants, EXCEPT (because he is Satan, after all ) the one thing that he absolutely cannot bring himself to do is all allow another free will (other than himself) to have absolute free will too. He just insists upon having everything his own way. He needs Total control, because otherwise, and if it was up to them, he thinks people might want to put an end to him.
“sank an unarmed Iranian [war]ship…anything is fair game from here on out.”
Reads like another episode of Pinky and the Brain.
Iran has been striking civilian targets all along. Try making sense.
Iran has been striking civilian targets all along.
Do you think that’s true? Then how did US military bases get hit? Is someone else out there firing off missiles and drones, or did the US self-harm at point blank range?
If I was trying to lose an Empire as quickly as possible (short of unprovoked unconditional surrender) I don’t think that I could do it a faster way than starting a shooting war with Iran.
There were only two possible outcomes to begin with! Either the US loses outright, game over, next customer. OR it militarily “wins” and finds itself trying to manage a country that (with good reason) hates the United States of the White Satan more than it has ever hated any Empire since Alexander the Great went rolling through there 3000 years ago, and it tries to do so while surrounded out to a radius of two thousand miles by countries who absolutely hate our guts and would do anything to bring us down (especially Zionist Israel!)
The probability of victory for the Western Empire is zero. Thank God and common sense.
