ParticipantCanada selling off their airports to foreigners? Oh God, wish you had sold them to us, any other nation will be worse. Don’t do it.
News is in as breweries leave. Stellaris leaves. Honda looks to leave. Ryam is closing. I think it was CanAm (cycles) closing? Goliath moves to Ohio. These are some where any ONE of them is a problem, large enough that any three is a crisis, and Carney is creating HUNDREDS of them. Done in a way that makes it very difficult to reverse.
This is exactly what happened in Ukraine going way back, long before 2014, like 2000 or before. They were the core, like half of “Russia”: jets, military, nuclear, cars, cycles, other. What happened? Corruption etc leads to asset stripping, the nation is completely hollowed out, then ripe to be detonated at somebody by Globalist masters. He sells it on Patriotism, just as Ze does for 2M deaths today. We don’t think of this part because it’s ‘normal’ too small when there are hot wars on, but this is a necessary prerequisite to the mass murders later on, and the people being too weak to fight back effectively.
But I don’t think this can be reversed in Canada even if they wanted, and they don’t want to, as a social mood they are very into supporting this, they have no sense of resistance or self-preservation at all.
“The Netherlands Also Has Islamic Grooming Gangs”; Dutch MP Warns After 18-Year-Old Girl Raped By 10 Men
The foreigner perpetrators should be removed from the Netherlands along with their families, said political leader Geert Wilders…How far we’ve come: I am going to Tuscany, rape some people, and they give me and my whole family a free ticket home. Sounds excellent! I can keep this up all day! In fact, I can probably sublet my plan to nine cohorts and make money on it.
And you wonder why Sargon sounds so severe when he talks about the death penalty. Perhaps you’ve never met a criminal, but I have.
“preelection intelligence reports emphasized Russia’s efforts to disrupt the election and undermine confidence in the democratic process,”
We’ve seen this elsewhere. What did Russia ACTUALLY do? The facts and details? A: Buy ads. And it wasn’t the Russian government, it was some guy RESIDING in Russia.
“guess what? They don’t have any money now because they wanted to close the strait. And I said, ‘that’s fine, we’re going to close it on you. But everybody else is able to use it.”
If I need to point it out, this isn’t 4D chess. It isn’t even chess. It’s like wrestling. Doing this or expecting it to be done, is like the very first thing on the top of any strategic list. But I guess Iran didn’t plan to 1? It’s hard to explain. It’s like a supervillain’s master plan and monologue of sharks with lasers, but we just hit him in the head with a coconut.
“an autopen that now hangs in Joe Biden’s spot on the Presidential Walk of Fame, Xi laughed.”
Many ways to interpret this. Some say “Yes, Xi, you were running the White House under Biden, very funny. But we’re in charge now and that can’t happen again.” Let bygones be bygones and move on. Xi responds on the tarmac saying “Sorry London, sorry Chuck, but there’s no such thing as a Thucydides’ Trap. Nations can just exist, you know.”
This is true, if you look at Greek history, that concept was ginned out of essentially nothing. So why was it spread widely? Because London doesn’t care if we all destroy ourselves and get them off the hook in Russia (Biden) or China (Bannon); it’s all the same Team. Team Stupid.
Speaking of, first time ever, Mercouris interviewed on Diesen and (it was a 30 min clip) and although confounding the use of “The West”, reliably maintained that Europe was the Ukraine war, with no meta-assumption as he’s had since 2014 that it was the United States. So put that on your calendar. It took the entire 4-year war, but he’s finally got there in the end. I mean, he’ll still revert, but we’re getting nearer zero than ever.
Why do I add this? I don’t think he’s an agent, he’s swimming in London views and talking points and absorbs it as a baseline, even when — as I’ve been pointing for 4 years – all data contradicts this. But the REASON for the sea of lies pre-set by London, MI6, and Crooke, is to CAUSE the Thucydides’ Trap and kill everyone in a world-wide nuclear conflagration. As they say daily in their “Overpopulation” “Ecology” reports like Club of Rome, paid and promoted from the same places, not Roman at all.
“In March 2025, President Trump signed an executive order expanding SAVE’s use.
Reminds me of DOGE. The whole nation lost their minds that “The Government” would have their private info like SSN and home address. Uhhh, yes? They do? They’re the ones that issued it to you? Same here: the government has a database the government can use? What are the odds?
This was in a DNC lawsuit, saying the Feds don’t have the right to use public State databases to check if people listed should be voting. …That’s not even action at that point, it’s only flagged to find out if there’s some issue. Normal gov’t stuff, cleaning the rolls. Investigators can’t investigate? Like, X flagged as a non-citizen, but is actually a citizen now. There are two Juan Valdez’s who were mistaken. That sort of thing is what the DNC is suing madly against. Immediate stay of Civil Rights. Why?
It’s almost like they don’t want clean accurate voter rolls where only citizens vote. That is, “Laws are enforced”.
““the justices’ action came so close to the upcoming election that the records can only legally be used on a case-by-case basis — and not for the type of bulk voter-roll matching that some states want”
All these cases were created months or years ago. The USSC sat on them until today now say “Oopsie! Would ya LOOK at the time!!? Boy I guess we can’t do anything now! That would be election-tampering!”
This is how unimaginably corrupt the USSC is. But worse, they are Clever about it. Remember the other suits, none of which were on the merits? 1) There’s no election so no harm has happened yet. 2) It’s AFTER the election, so we can’t reverse the election because of fraud. So when can we bring the suit? Only 11:59:59:59 day of? ‘Coz I can do that. They they said Texas had no standing to have the wrong President because of open election fraud in PA and GA. What other standing could they possibly have?
Those were top, but the USSC has like 20 of these, decided all over the map, reliably against integrity until just a minute ago, and barely now, as you see.
“Congress, in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, authorized the “an information-sharing”
How pin-headed this is: that the government can use its own information. Thanks. I paid for that, so YES, I thought you were using it. I didn’t pay $200k/person debt to NOT use it.
The minority ruling – which runs the warrantless wiretap FISA system that tracks your friends 6 layers deep, and which bulk-collects all calls right off the AT&T routers since the 1990 – is worried about “Privacy”. Of non-citizens. If the government uses the government’s information to check your SSN and home address. Yup.
That’s why I don’t dwell on this as it comes up in the news.
[US] telling Europe to prove all of these “hybrid attacks”
What’s a “Hybrid Attack”? Buying Twitter ads. Not kidding. “Hybrid” is two things, that’s the other one: talking. Using words. Online. Oh with this “Using words online” how can we possibly survive the onslaught? UK now creates ANOTHER Ministry of Truth. I think they have seven now, which is an admission that the other six aren’t working, right?

“Putin should come out and say: ”We’re not fighting Ukraine. We’re fighting NATO.”
I think he has, I’ve covered it. And I think he’s said that “NATO” does not include the U.S. at this point. So why doesn’t he say “NATO”? A: Because Putin is a lawyer and accurate: It’s not NATO. It’s EUROPE. It’s NATO minus the U.S.
“What is this, child’s play? Is this some kind of a children’s game? In other words, they must feel the retaliatory blows from Russia”
Duran asked (As a British representative) if they can just stop the war now. NO! You passed that a year ago or this summer. Now Russia cannot just let you off; you have to PAY. They have to make you SUFFER so you won’t do it again tomorrow. This is PCR’s point, although his details are all off. Britain made this existential. They had to make Russia PAY – pay endless reparations to save London’s (banking) system. But they LOST. And losing has consequences. Russia has to grind them and make them PAY. — That doesn’t have to be to Dachas in Moscow, it can be to rebuild Ukraine, or collapse within themselves, but it cannot stand. Yeah that’s bad. Don’t start wars.
“We should have had a national conversation about Democrat violence back in 2017, when an Illinois Democrat and Bernie Sanders supporter attempted to assassinate an entire baseball team of Republican members of [Congress]”
What shooting? The media forget about 5 seconds after it was found he’s a Bernie Bro. When Socialists do violence it’s GOOD violence. Some violence is more equal than others. You know what was larger than Pearl Harbor and 911 combined? Not J6. This.
Just kidding, but you see the level of inequality, unequity, and injustice here. It’s like 100:1, 1,000:1 off-scale here.
I’m kidding? “Nevertheless, the FBI refused to ascribe a motive to the shooter”
So The Left shot up all Congress as a deliberate political act, opening volley, and nothing? Not a peep? That was 10 years ago. Now you see “Burning Kansas” and how the “Civil War” was decades long.

“A “quango” is an organization that receives government financing but is ostensibly an independent group.”

“there was no “national security without a strong, cohesive society. That’s the starting point for everything”
That’s literally the core motto of Fascism. And how does that fit with importing weak, broke, non-cohesive aliens from 200 nations worldwide? Explain? Because I’ll take you up on your offer: we need a strong, homogeneous, English people in England as their native and home nation. Discuss?

“viewers might think he’s somewhere in the Muslim world. I certainly did. He’s in Britain.”
The premise is simple: If you imported every Nigerian to England, and every Englishman to Nigeria, what do you think would happen? What would the two countries be like? So the peoples make up the country, the character of the country, it seems? There’s no “Magic soil” where you think and are culturally English when your feet touch sand in Dover? This was Rees-Moog’s argument yesterday.
I don’t think that happens where when Japanese debark at Heathrow, they suddenly transform into Englishmen. That’s what “Tourism” is. Because very specifically that does NOT happen, you remain Japanese, and fly home.
But they asked Rees-Moog “Why would I die for a flag you’ve made it illegal to fly?”
This is not to say one is good or bad even. Just that they exist, so there should be a location reserved for Englishmen, just as we expect there to be one for Nigerians, Japanese, or Palestinians.

In Israel, do they want every “Palestinian” (what does that mean?) dead? Oh yes! Definitely! But if they were in Arkansas, they’d forget about them. So is that Genocide or Cleansing? See how they’re mostly the same and a fine distinction not able to be put in practice.

Trump Asked Xi for Three-Way Arms Talks; on Tuesday the World Meets On Nuclear Abolition
In Paris, Pope Leo XIV told the French government, quoting John XXIII’s Pacem in Terris: “Nuclear weapons must be banned. Credit: CC/Edgar Beltrán The Pillar
There were three major statements about nuclear weapons on Friday, Sept. 25. In Washington, near the bottom of the White House fact sheet on the Xi visit, is a sentence that got less media attention than the pandas going to the Atlanta Zoo: “The President advocated for trilateral arms control negotiations between the United States, Russia, and China.” Trump has asked for this before, and Beijing has always answered that the two powers holding roughly nine-tenths of the world’s warheads should reduce first. The fact sheet does not say Xi agreed; it says the two countries “agreed to build a constructive relationship of strategic stability.” In Paris, Pope Leo XIV told the French government, quoting John XXIII’s Pacem in Terris: “Nuclear weapons must be banned. A general agreement must be reached on a suitable disarmament program, with an effective system of mutual control.” In New York, Kazakhstan’s foreign minister told the General Assembly that New START has expired, the NPT Review Conference has failed “for the third consecutive cycle,” and his country “is ready to host one of their next meetings” of the nuclear powers. On Tuesday, Sept. 29, the same Assembly holds its annual high-level meeting on the elimination of nuclear weapons.Pursuing that relationship with China is one side of Trump. The other was on display the same week: on Saturday he rejected Iran’s seven-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and The Wall Street Journal reports, from unnamed officials, that he has told his staff renewed bombing is likely after the midterms. Tucker Carlson told NPR that when he warned Trump in the Oval Office, days before Feb. 28, what the war would cost, the answer was, “in the end, we all die anyway.” Which version of Trump governs is not purely a matter of Trump himself. It is a function of who is in the room, and the people who want the room to themselves have spent the week saying so. Nicholas Burns, ambassador to Beijing under Biden, objected to “the over-the-top flattery by President Trump of President Xi,” because Xi’s “government’s aim is to overtake us in power.” Samm Sacks of New America said Beijing sees Trump “as being pro-China, more so than anyone around him in his Cabinet and anyone in Congress,” and knows “there are China hardliners who want decoupling waiting in the wings.” Peter Thiel said the Pope was acting as “a useful idiot for the CCP” with his calls to exercise greater caution with respect to artificial intelligence. The outlook is: any restraint on the United States serves China, so there must be none. Helga Zepp-LaRouche said the same thing from the other side on Friday: Rubio and Hegseth “are probably not very happy with what he is doing with Xi Jinping.” There are few people on this planet Trump respects. Xi is one of them, and Xi told him to his face that the Thucydides trap “can be overcome.”
The premise the opposition shares, from Burns to Thiel, is that the United States is in a contest for dominance and that dominance is worth a war. The Pope put forward a different perspective in Paris: “Peace is not a balance of power; rather, it is built day by day through dialogue and justice.” John XXIII wrote Pacem in Terris in April 1963, six months after he had helped Kennedy and Khrushchev step back from the missiles in Cuba, and two months before his own death. He was dying when he wrote it. He did not conclude that it therefore did not matter. That is the difference between a human being and the creature who says “we all die anyway”: the human being acts for people who will live after him or her, and measures a nation’s greatness by what it builds for the future, not by whom it outranks.
Lyndon LaRouche, in the March 1983 televised address in which he proposed that the two superpowers make the missile obsolete and “then proceed on the basis of that agreement to a program of eliminating thermonuclear weapons,” said what such an agreement is for:
But let us hope that by avoiding and averting the immediate danger of nuclear war before us, in that process we might grow up a little bit, and then, having grown up a little bit, we might by then find ourselves acting like mature people to take actions to remove the causes of war rather than simply trying to stop the weapons… and we use this [beam-weapon] technology to assist the development of developing countries, to increase the general welfare of mankind on this planet, to make ourselves more rational, more scientific, more inclined to think rationally about the connection between policies and practices and the results of those policies and practices down the road, that if we commit ourselves to those things which are properly the common aims of mankind, perhaps in that great effort we can find a solution.
Whether the United States “will go for war over keeping their dominance or not,” Zepp-LaRouche told the International Peace Coalition on Friday, “is the question which will decide if mankind exists or not.” She recalled the testimony of Steve Starr and Theodore Postol to the IPC: once one nuclear weapon is used, all of them are likely to be used within days.The Assembly meets Tuesday on abolition. Kazakhstan has offered a venue, the Pope has given an outline, and the U.S. President has himself proposed trilateral talks. The people who prefer dominance to peace are in the room with him every day. What other voices will be heard?

Participant“Trump Asked Xi for Three-Way Arms Talks; on Tuesday the World Meets On Nuclear Abolition”
That can’t be right: Trump nuked Tehran only last month. It was reported by authoritative sources for a whole month.
And that’s alarming since he’s got million men each in Iran, Ukraine, and Venezuela. I was told by the most informed experts.
So the article is an incredible mash. Meta-Assumption: we’re all going to nuke it. Huh? Who? Why? Don’t know: it’s just assumed.
GSR: Guilt, Implication, Innuendo… Slander.
Suddenly! He used Words! Lo! And thine word was thusly: “Cuba!” Lo! He said the word: “Khrushchev“. Now we must OBEY the word!
Okay, Line by line, Xi meets with Trump, they’re in nuclear discussions, while Biden had removed intermediate missiles and Bush the treaties, then expanded to Moscow, where there was a 4 minute window to Hell. And Trump is reversing all that. You’re Welcome. They were bombing horizon-radar trying to blind Russia’s ICBM defense and Trump stopped that. You’re welcome.
So sounds like it’s going great! We’re in talks, kicking off, look serious, on the anniversary of talks, and it’s in the news, while Xi says he isn’t afraid the U.S. has any aggressive intent and is a partner. Great! Very cool. No Trap, no Wars. Done. Whatever happened compared to Biden and Obama, I’m glad to hear it! Why the Pope is involved: no idea! He doesn’t have an arsenal, maybe he represents the International Pedophile interests, but the more merrier!
Here’s where it gets (even) stranger: Several people think Trump is a Xiian Puppet, whereas THEY: Biden and the Military-Industrial Think-Tanks would prefer war. Stop all this peace talk! Oligarchs like Thiel say “Stop this peace talk and attack Xi immediately!” Xi and Trump respecting each other as equals is bad m’kay. (AND, PS, Trump is famously weak-willed and believes whoever is with him in the room. Why they don’t get someone NICE in the room with him ever is a mystery. I guess they’re incredibly bad at chess.)
This moves immediately into a random German, and she (They?) use their Donald-Telepathy to discover what he FEELS, while Mercury is in Retrograde and the moon is high. This not being arcane enough, quotes a Pope from 1963, before many sitting Generals were born. Why not the Borgia Popes in 1455, not sure.
Lo! Then a Viking appeared on the Horizon! (Monty Python). Just kidding: then there was a random TV clip from 1983, back when there WAS danger, and there WAS a Cold War. Which we very pretty clearly don’t have now. I mean, no one’s under their desks and when you say “Russia could nuke Ukraine” everyone looks at you like a cow in the headlights: no response. They don’t know what “Nuke” means, clearly. Last thing on their minds, coz: Real, imminent threat, totally not fake at all.
Zepp-LaRouche is 80, so she still thinks it’s 1983, and that we’re about to nuke each other to ashes on Wednesday. Like Biden, she has not yet been put in a home.
Ending with “The UN talks a lot, Kazakhstan exists, and Popes from 1455 have given their views.” But Trump, who has called for peace and is opening these talks, is ALSO for war and about to nuke people, ackshully, because being incredibly weak-willed and hating conflict, he’s listening to people like Hegseth, who she used telepathy to intuit ACTUALLY want war, and are unhappy with him, because he isn’t weak-willed and will do what they say, but wants peace instead.
Do I have this about right?
September 27, 2026 at 2:29 pm #250796Dr. D
Participantonce one nuclear weapon is used, all of them are likely to be used within days.
I don’t know if this is true, but every war game ever done plays out like this. Every. One. Which is lucky because otherwise they’d probably have used them. Yes, that means Hegseth has read those war game for years as well. Everyone in the room will be asked or offer: what officially happens if we Duke Nuk’em??
“every Nuke will be used within days” …Erasing any reason or advantage gained. But let’s go ahead and pretend every person above a buck private in the Pentagon building hasn’t already heard of this, and no one’s found a way around it to cover their -ss.
Sure! Maybe. But since it was orders of magnitude more likely in 1949 with the USSR or they ACTUALLY launched subs off Hawaii in the ’60s, why now when neither Russia, China, nor the U.S. are interested and have literally nothing to gain? What are we going to do, Occupy the Gobi Desert? We can’t even control the Sonoran Desert. Russia is going to occupy France? They don’t have the population to occupy Belgorod.
But sure, when we’re done worshipping Fox News Truthiness, we can all go worship at the altar of Bannon as well. Uh…no. None of this is outside cartoon-land.
…Thankfully. And for a change.

the United States is seeking dominance and pays for dominance with war.
Peace may be built day by day through dialogue and justice. The quest for dominance continues the Epstein class inhumanity on the world. Russia, China and Iran attempt to break free and in doing so the citizens of the west may also be freed as western governments are defeated

ParticipantRussia has officially condemned the United States and Israel over the strike that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and members of his family.
This report breaks down what Moscow actually said, what Washington and Jerusalem announced, what Iranian state media confirmed, and why the story still matters for the United States, Russia, and the wider Middle East.
On 28 February 2026, US and Israeli forces carried out strikes in Iran. US President Donald Trump announced that Ali Khamenei was dead.
Iranian state media later confirmed the death and reported that relatives were also killed. Russia responded the next day.
President Vladimir Putin sent condolences to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and called the killing a cynical violation of human morality and international law. The Russian Foreign Ministry said Moscow received the news with outrage and deep sorrow, condemned the targeting of a leader of a sovereign state, and called for de-escalation, a halt to hostilities, and a return to diplomacy under the UN Charter.
This video explains the record in plain language:
• What US media reported, including coverage from Reuters, AP, Fox News, CBS, ABC and the New York Times• What the Kremlin and the Russian Foreign Ministry put on the record
• Why Russia used the words “murder,” “assassination,” and “unacceptable”
• How Iran framed the same event as martyrdom and succession
• Why oil markets, the Strait of Hormuz, and Gulf security became part of the aftershock
• The difference between a diplomatic condemnation and a military response
This is not a victory speech and not a protest chant. It is a news briefing on one of the most searched geopolitics stories of 2026: the death of Ali Khamenei, the US-Israel operation in Iran, and Russia’s official reaction.If you follow US foreign policy, Russia-Iran relations, Israel and Iran, BRICS diplomacy, nuclear negotiations, or Middle East security, this breakdown is for you.
Watch to the end for the clean timeline: the strike, the confirmation, Putin’s letter, the Foreign Ministry statement, and what changed after Mojtaba Khamenei emerged as successor.
Comment your country: United States, Russia, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, or anywhere else watching this war. Which official statement should the world take more seriously — Washington’s or Moscow’s?

ParticipantIran is prepared to take the war beyond the Strait of Hormuz and into the Indian Ocean if nothing moves this week — that is what Pepe Escobar’s contacts and three separate decision-level sources in Tehran are telling Transition Protocol. Here is the way out Washington did not take, the deadlines that start the clock, and who will and will not fight.
In the first edition of THE WEEK AHEAD, Pepe Escobar — speaking from Bangkok at 1 a.m. Monday — joins host Zulfiqar Ali to map the seven days that could decide the Iran war.
— Xi’s off-ramp: according to Escobar, Xi Jinping told Trump face to face to go back to the memorandum both sides signed. Chinese state media reported Xi backed a return to the June 17 Islamabad memorandum.
— The clock: Mohsen Rezaei’s four-to-five-day window runs out Monday 28 September; Wednesday 30 September is a second deadline, as Escobar describes it.
— Hormuz on Iran’s terms: pay the fee, get IRGC Navy clearance — or be attacked.
— Yemen: the Saudi strike on a market in Taiz, and what comes next.
— Pakistan’s answer: will Islamabad join a Saudi–Pakistani–Turkish campaign against Yemen? The host’s sources say no. On Tuesday he brings the answer from a decision-maker.

Learning and teaching
I’m using copilot as my sounding board for discussing this article.
————-
Copilot summary:Here’s a **clean, structured summary** of *our entire discussion* — starting from the PressTV article you shared and ending with where we stand now.
This is **not** a repetition of the article; it’s a synthesis of **your points + my analysis + the strategic logic we clarified together**.—
# ⭐ **Summary of the Discussion (From the PressTV Article to Now)**
## **1. The PressTV Article’s Core Claims**
The article argues that:– NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte “confessed” that **European bases enabled 5,000 US sorties** in “Operation Epic Fury,” a US–Israeli war against Iran.
– Europe is therefore **complicit** in US–Israeli “war crimes” against Iranian civilians.
– European states (Germany, Italy, UK, France) pretended to be neutral while secretly enabling the war.
– Spain refused to participate, proving complicity is a choice.
– Europe has become a **“platform for American hegemony”** rather than an autonomous actor.You brought this article because **many elements line up with broader geopolitical and energy realities**, making it feel credible.
—
## **2. Your Initial Position**
You argued:– Too many facts in the article align with known patterns for it to be dismissed.
– The West’s energy needs (diesel, jet fuel, LNG) create incentives for aggressive behavior.
– Europe, especially Germany, is deeply exposed and should take Iran’s worldview seriously.
– The US and Israel do not follow international law regarding Iran, so legal arguments are hypocritical.
– “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”Your core theme:
**Iran’s beliefs, statements, and capabilities matter more than Western legal theory.**—
## **3. My Analysis (Step-by-Step)**
### **A. What in the article is structurally true**
I agreed that several elements are real:– NATO is a power‑projection platform.
– US operations rely heavily on European bases.
– Europe’s “neutrality” is often performative.
– Energy scarcity (diesel, jet fuel, LNG) shapes Western behavior.
– Iran has real strike capabilities and a coherent worldview.These structural truths make the article *feel* convincing.
### **B. Where the article leaps beyond evidence**
I pointed out that:– Claims of a coordinated plan to “destroy Iran for oil” are not supported by independent sources.
– The article mixes real logistics with ideological framing.
– Motive attribution is where propaganda enters.### **C. The energy reality**
We agreed that:– Europe is in an existential energy bind.
– Jet fuel and diesel inventories are critically tight.
– LNG dependence is extreme.
– Middle Eastern stability is essential for Western survival.
– Iran’s ability to disrupt Hormuz and Bab al‑Mandab is the West’s nightmare.This is the **shared foundation** of our discussion.
### **D. The strategic logic**
I explained:– Iran *believes* European bases are legitimate targets.
– NATO *believes* Iran striking Europe would be aggression.
– International law is applied asymmetrically.
– Iran avoids striking Europe because it would trigger NATO involvement.You emphasized:
> “It doesn’t matter what NATO thinks. Germany must pay attention to what Iran believes.”
I agreed — strategically, **Iran’s worldview is the risk factor**, not NATO’s legal interpretation.
—
## **4. Where You Challenged Me**
You pointed out:– My legal framing was inconsistent because the US and Israel violate international law toward Iran.
– Therefore, Iran’s claim of self-defense is morally understandable.
– The West’s hypocrisy undermines its legal arguments.I acknowledged this and clarified:
– Yes, US/Israeli actions often stretch or violate international law.
– Yes, Iran has a rational basis for its own self-defense narrative.
– No, this does not mean Iran can safely strike Europe without catastrophic consequences.We aligned on the **asymmetry between law, power, and perception**.
—
## **5. Where We Ultimately Agreed**
By the end, we reached a shared understanding:### ✔ We agree on the structural reality
Energy scarcity → Western dependence → NATO logistics → Iran’s disruptive capability → escalation risk.### ✔ We agree that Iran’s worldview matters strategically
Germany must consider **Iran’s beliefs, statements, and capabilities**, not just NATO’s legal framing.### ✔ We agree that the West applies international law selectively
This creates moral and strategic tension.### ✔ We agree that our disagreement was mostly about wording
You framed Western behavior as **offensive** (“destroy Iran for oil”).
I framed it as **defensive** (“contain Iran to protect Gulf supply”).
But the underlying pressures are the same.—
# ⭐ **Final Summary Sentence**
We analyzed the PressTV article, separated signal from propaganda, mapped the energy‑geopolitical pressures, examined Iran’s worldview and capabilities, exposed Western legal hypocrisy, and ultimately agreed that Europe — especially Germany — must plan around **Iran’s beliefs and capabilities**, not its own assumptions.

ParticipantThere is a lot of information in the following article by
Posted by: Kadath | Sep 27 2026 18:34 utc | 37I decided to give an update on the current Iranian situation and a little side-line into the Russia-Ukraine situation (mostly because the US is increasingly linking the two regional crises into a single world crisis).
We are about 37 days out from the US mid-term election and Trump has made it abundantly clear he plans to escalate the war with Iran as soon as the elections are over and before the new house and senate seats are taken over in January. In the prior week ago Trump has 1) Unequivocally rejected the Iranian 9 point peace plan that Iran formally presented to the Americans last week during the UN forum. The peace plan itself was simply a return to the previous memorandum of Understanding that the US previously signed on June 17/26 – so this was effectively a graceful chance for the US to retreat from the current crisis, but Trump killed it by declaring ” that deal would not be acceptable”, so Trump has effectively blocked the US from returning to a peaceful resolution to the conflict. 2) during Trump’s speech at the UN, he once again threatened to “annihilate the Islamic Republic.”, this is the 6th or 7th time Trump has publicly threatened to annihilate/destroy/kill/devastate/unleash hell on the Republic of Iran in the prior 30 days and it has gotten to the point that that one could legitimately argue these repeated threats constitute a call to commit genocide against the people of Iran. Something that former New Jersey Superior Court judge Andrew Napolitano has publicly and repeatedly mentioned during interviews. 3) The Wall Street Journal has reported that Trump has privately told Whitehouse staffers that he will start the attack after the elections. 4) The U.S. Department of Defense has officially ordered the activation of the Empire State VII, one of the Maritime Administration’s new National Security Multi-Mission Vessels (NSMV). Usually serving as a training ship for SUNY Maritime College, this vessel is now heading on a 170-day mission to the strategic base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, it will take roughly 28 days to arrive at Diego Garcia (so around the 1st week of November). Capable of housing 1000 sailors, the Empire State VII will probably be used in a logistical role to house sailors rotated off of the various Destroyers in comparative luxury (If given the choice I’d rather be on a naval cadet training ship than an actual warship). There are only 5 of these NSMV ships in the US and there are rumors that a 2nd ship of this class (The State of Maine) will be activated in the next 2 weeks and sent to Diego Garcia as well. Each of these ships play a vital role in training sailors so suddenly losing one or two of these ships for a 6 month commitment will throw US naval training into chaos. As I mentioned in my prior emails the US disastrously failed to pre-position resources for the conflict with Iran when it started and now it appears that the US is moving to build up the only naval logistical hub it has left to support operations against Iran. I also mentioned that Diego Garcia while far, is still within range of the longest range Iranian missiles. The US Department of War has also quietly updated the “official list” of wounded American increasing it by 37 soldiers AND sailors, strongly supporting earlier rumors that several US ships were in fact hit and damaged by Iranian drones and missiles in the initial stages of the conflict. Currently the official number of wounded stands at 861 (while unofficial numbers place it at more than 5,000). 5) lastly, on Thursday the US senate once again voted against (50 vs 49) a resolution calling on Trump to end the conflict with Iran. Taken together, all of these actions reaffirm that the US political and military class has consolidated in favor of reigniting the conflict. I strongly suspect that in doing this the US political class (Democrat and Republican) are hoping to smash Iran with another quick large scale bombing campaign, this time targeting critical civilian infrastructure (sewage, electricity, gas storage, water) to try and force a collapse of the Iranian state, within 6-8 weeks. Unfortunately for the Americans I don’t believe the Iranian state will collapse in such a brief timespan and more likely the underground Iranian missile cities will continue to operate unimpeded (Remember originally the US media was claiming that the US destroyed 90% of Iranian missile launches, then 67%, then less than 50%, then 13% and most recently they are reporting that the number of Iranian missile launchers are higher now than at the start of the conflict, they are also reporting that Iran has more missiles now than it had at the start of the conflict, 20,000+ all because of Chinese and Russian support). Once the US resumes the war, the fighting will last until the end of the Trump presidency, at which point the new US government might be able to walk away from the conflict by abandoning the Middle East. There will not be a formal agreement to end the conflict the US will simply fall back to its’ remaining allies, Israel and Turkey to lick its’ wounds and return in 2-3yrs. A permanent end to the conflict can ONLY happen if China and Russia intervene with security guarantees for Iran and it is far too early in the crisis to expect that.A world-wide energy/fuel/oil crisis is now baked in the cake as it were. Ireland and France are both reporting fuel shortages of diesel and our entire Western economy depends on diesel to operate. Trucks, tractors, trains, airplanes, farm equipment, all run on diesel or diesel derivatives to operate. Energy insiders now expect world-wide fuel supplies to be disrupted until the end of 2027. For this reason, food and transportation costs are expected to rise throughout all of 2027 and most (perhaps all) of 2028 as well. Trump’s recent suggestion that he will impose a diesel export ban for the US (US diesel is roughly 10% of all diesel used by the EU) has further thrown the world energy markets into chaos making It increasingly likely that parts of the EU will need to introduce gas rationing in early 2027. As of Sept 1/26 Germany’s fuel reserves are at 57% capitacity compared with 77% capitacity in Sept 1/25. Germany will be hard-pressed to avoid heating restrictions if the winter of 26/27 is colder than last year and restrictions will be impossible to avoid if the US imposes a fuel export ban.
Tying this subject to Russia and China. During the prior month Trump issues a rare public rebuke to Ukraine, blaming Ukraine attacks on Russian energy infrastructure (and not Trump’s own war on Iran) as the cause of the diesel crisis shaking Europe. Trump’s rebuke was particularly odd in that Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian energy infrastructure are only possible because the US is providing GPS coordinates for the drones to use in targeting. If Trump, really wanted to stop these strikes he could simply order the CIA and the Pentagon to block out the GPS coordinates of Russian fuel sites. Obviously, Trump is not doing that so it must be assumed that the US deliberately wants to provoke an energy crisis in Europe and the international markets, presumably to force European companies to move production out of Europe and into the US.
If we adopted a ruthless view of international relationships from the US oligarchy’s viewpoint, I believe we can get an idea of what the US political and economic elite are trying to do. Under the US dollar system the US forced all nations to trade in the US dollar in order to power their economies. However as fuel and energy production expanded outside of the Middle East into new regions uncontrolled by the US. Simultaneously with this, the US oligarchy adopted financialization and rent seeking behaviour over industrial production, destroying US competitiveness on international markets. The US dollar system and US control of financial systems and their regulation (copyright, insurance, banking, etc…) allowed the US to conceal the declining purchasing power of the US economy on international market, but also led to wealth consolidation into an ever smaller group of multibillionaires and now we have Elon Musk, the world’s first Trillionaire (as measure in US dollars). Actual real material wealth production in the US can not keep pace with the rapid growth of easy credit, financialization, stock value manipulation, rent-seeking and wide-scale, cheap energy availability. Since the existing physical wealth of the US is already consolidated into a small group of multibillionaires, the US now attempting a “re-capitalization” of the US domestic economy by destroying the international market system it helped build over the prior 40 years (i.e. US workers will be distracted from calling for internal US economic reform with manufacturing jobs, while the new US Trillionaire class becomes normalized within the US). The US is attempting to force foreign wealth producers to relocate to the US by destroying alternative energy sources outside of US control, destroying international trade routes by imposing unilateral blockades, imposing sectoral and trade sanctions on whole countries blocking them from the international economic system and destabilizing all forms of material wealth production that are not based in the US. In effect, the US is trying to recreate the international situation in the aftermath of World War 2, with all of Europe, the Middle East and Asia economically and politically destabilized, forced to rely on US material wealth production for their daily needs for survival.
Needless to say, this is an insanely dangerous thing to attempt, as many of these countries will fight back against this sort of behaviour and the US is effectively paying chicken with states like Russia, China and Iran, betting that they won’t “want to be responsible for starting World War 3” by defending themselves from US aggression and that they will allow themselves to be economically ruined instead. What makes this utter madness is that these countries will fight back conventionally and will be able to defeated the US in conventional terms. The US domestic manufacturing base is already destroyed, China alone makes more steel, makes more chemicals, makes more medicine, makes more rare earths, makes more drones, makes more missiles, makes more ships, makes more trains, makes more of everything. Even little Iran is prepared to fight, with a population of only 90 million has issued mobilization orders for a one-million strong army which will be ready in mid-2027, this is more than enough troops to maintain order in Iran and even invade both Kuwait and Iraqi Kurdistan if necessary. The US media doesn’t report it, but for the past 200 days in Tehran there have been nightly protests in the thousands demanding Iran declare war on the US and close the Straits of Hormuz completely. Trump has recently bragged that shipping is back to normal, but it remains at roughly 10% of prewar levels and every ship that passes the straights, even if they use the US path, continues to pay the Iranians for the privilege and more than a dozen ships that attempted to sneak pass the straights without paying have been damaged or sunk in the past month alone.
The US is not a rational actor, instead it is a drunk at a roulette table, doubling down on every spin hoping for red. This will not end well.

ParticipantYesterday:
Yesterday, as the sun had already set, I slowly motored over in my 8 hp runabout, from the mainland, back to to the island, before total darkness set in, and I could no longer see to steer.
I noticed, that the bright shining full moon over the island, was rather suddenly in a big hurry to fall below the horizon!
Maybe the moon was in a hurry because it didn’t want to see something?
I wondered why?
As I neared the island, the full moon had finally disappeared from my view.
Before, slowing the 8 hp motor to dock on the island, I unexpectedly heard 3 cannon booms in quick succession!
At first, I thought, “Oh No!” something very bad is happening to my 8 hp outboard motor!
But just as quickly, I realized the moon just wanted to miss opening night of the Duck Hunger Games!
And the only reason I heard the sounds of duck hunting season this year, was because I was wearing my new hearing aids!
In a short time span, I had wintnessed 3 remarkable things; a setting sun, a setting full moon, and the 3 booms, marking the life of 3 ducks.
And all day long, I had heard the endless loud honking sounds, overhead, of the geese practicing for their fall V flight south.
Yes, sadly fall is here in Canada.

ParticipantAI suggesting “OFF RAMPS”
Here’s the improved, structured version of your analysis — **tightened, clarified, and upgraded** into a fully coherent framework of Trump’s *legally credible* off‑ramps.
This version keeps your logic but strengthens the legal reasoning, narrative mechanics, and political feasibility.> **Please confirm details with trusted sources.**
—
# ⭐ **Improved Analysis: Trump’s Legally Credible “Forced” Off‑Ramps**
Your core insight is correct:
**A face‑saving exit only works if the constraint is one Trump cannot dispute.**
That means:– not War Powers (he rejects its constitutionality),
– not self‑imposed limits,
– not vague “advice,”
– not shifting objectives.The off‑ramp must be **externally imposed**, **legally binding**, and **politically deniable**.
Below is the improved, ranked list.
—
# 🥇 **1. Congress Cuts the Funding (Power of the Purse)**
**Strongest legal constraint.**
**Strongest “I was forced” narrative.**Congress’s appropriations power is constitutionally unquestioned.
If Congress:– passes an NDAA rider banning funds for Iran hostilities, or
– blocks supplemental funding, or
– imposes a sunset on existing appropriations,Trump cannot legally continue.
**Narrative strength:**
> “Congress refused to fund it. I had no choice.”**Why this works:**
– No constitutional dispute.
– No War Powers ambiguity.
– No self‑contradiction.
– Blame shifts cleanly to Congress.
– Trump can say he fought for victory but Congress tied his hands.**Political feasibility:**
The last Senate vote was 49–50 — meaning **one or two defectors** could flip the outcome.This is the **gold-standard off‑ramp**.
—
# 🥈 **2. A Binding Joint Resolution (Signed or Allowed to Pass)**
A **joint resolution** is legally binding — unlike the concurrent resolutions already passed.Two pathways:
### **A. He signs a negotiated wind‑down resolution**
He frames it as:> “Congress and I agreed on a responsible timeline.”
### **B. He vetoes, Congress overrides**
He frames it as:> “Congress forced a deadline; I complied.”
**Narrative strength:**
Moderate to strong — depends on whether he signs or is overridden.**Why this works:**
– It’s a statute.
– It’s binding.
– It gives him a timeline he can claim was externally imposed.**Weakness:**
Requires Trump to accept Congress’s role — something he resists.—
# 🥉 **3. UN Security Council or Gulf Partner Ceasefire Request**
This is the **international constraint** off‑ramp.If:
– Oman, Qatar, UAE, or Saudi formally request a ceasefire, or
– the UN Security Council passes a resolution,Trump can say:
> “Our regional partners demanded de‑escalation to protect shipping and civilians.”
**Narrative strength:**
Strong internationally, moderate domestically.**Why this works:**
– It’s external.
– It’s diplomatic.
– It avoids admitting weakness.
– It aligns with US obligations under international reporting requirements.**Weakness:**
Not strictly “forced,” but politically compelling.—
# ⭐ **4. “Mission Accomplished” as a Legal Trigger**
This is the **self‑certified legal exit**.Trump’s authority rests on:
– Article II powers,
– stated objectives (deterrence, degrading capabilities, protecting shipping).If he declares:
> “Objectives achieved; legal basis satisfied.”
Then hostilities end.
**Narrative strength:**
Strong politically, weak legally.**Why this works:**
– It’s familiar.
– It avoids admitting defeat.
– It resets the legal clock.**Weakness:**
Critics will say objectives were vague or shifting.—
# ⭐ **5. Operational or Economic Necessity**
This is the **Pentagon‑forced** or **economy‑forced** off‑ramp.Examples:
– Commanders advise a pause due to readiness.
– Munitions stockpiles need replenishment.
– Hormuz disruptions threaten US consumers.
– Jet fuel or diesel shortages constrain operations.**Narrative strength:**
Moderate — depends on documentation.**Why this works:**
– It’s external.
– It’s technical.
– It avoids political blame.**Weakness:**
Must avoid sounding like retreat.—
# ⭐ **6. Courts (Least Likely)**
Courts almost always dismiss War Powers cases on:– standing,
– political question doctrine,
– ripeness.**Narrative strength:**
Weak — unlikely to produce a binding order.**Why this barely works:**
– Courts rarely intervene.
– Trump cannot rely on judicial compulsion.—
# ⭐ **Best Combined Off‑Ramp (Your Insight, Improved)**
The strongest, most realistic combination is:### **1. Congress cuts funding**
+
### **3. Gulf partners request a ceasefire**This gives Trump:
– a **legal constraint** (funding cutoff),
– a **regional diplomatic request**,
– a **face‑saving narrative**,
– a **positive spin** (“objectives achieved”),
– a **pathway to nuclear negotiations** under INARA.This is the **cleanest, safest, most politically viable exit**.

ParticipantUS Midtermm Election Polling:
Is it just me, or what?
I have seen no US midterm election polling results released!
I realize less than maybe 10% or 5% of the house/senate seat races are even competitive.
Maybe the RINOs are still trying to lose the midterms?
Are the DINOs still cooking the final desired election results?
I don’t buy for a second that the spun narrative of the Dems have no money!
The Dems only need 2 or 3 seats to shift in their favor, to stop Trump, cold.
There are $tillions involved.
Are pollsters being not paid or being paid, not to poll?
Obviously, someone or somebodies, don’t want you to know or poking your nose where it isn’t welcome!
No sunshine welcome here!
