I watched a short informative 3 minute video on X that illustrates how much ME oil passes through the Strait of Hormuz each day, and which countries will be most heavily affected by an Iranian blockade of the Strait. I also found this post that says the Iranians are only allowing Chinese ships to pass.
Cold shower for everybody from Gilbert Doctorow

Has Russia Lost Trust in Trump’s Leadership?
Summary:
- International Law is dead.
- American gasoline at 6$ a gallon in a week or two. {Already 11$ a gallon in Germany}
- US can assassinate Putin any time. Putin in crisis politically. Influential Power People in Kremlin are getting restless over unfinished Ukraine War drawn out: Why Putin didn't order the immediate shoot-down of US spy planes around Russia?
- Putin therefore will change his past behavior very fast.
{Here, I allowed a thought maybe Putin will be the one using a nuke in Ukraine (After the French-UK terror governments explode their smuggled-in nuke in Ukraine?), largely at same time when Israel uses a nuke on Iran... [as per C's "rogue nukes"-prediction]}- Trump out in November. Lucky if he escapes prison.
- India will buy Russian oil, 'no problem'.
- Iran prevails in the future, but only because of success of their "Terror missile attacks" on friendly countries to USA.
- "Iran has no effectual counterattack from strictly military viewpoint of yield".. [??] [according to military experts cited by Doctorow]
- But politically Iran's terror attacks can decapitate Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, because all the billionaire influentials will flee from there to the US and demand End of War from Trump. This will be the end of the boom of the entire Gulf States Middle East..
- Chinese military hardware given to Iran is useless, nothing. This has "to put in question the value of the entire Chinese military".. :-o
(No mention of expensive Russian radar system and war jets given to Iran)- Alexander Dugin's latest essay damning Putin, Dugin suggested to be a serious thinker in Russia.... by Doctorow.. because Dugin's daughter has become Martyr now Dugin cannot be touched whatever he says..
- Lavrov can only issue Memo's to Putin, but he has now power. Although Lavrov now speaks harshly about any negotiations, since the Death of International Law..(by The West)
- Epstein Revelations danger did not start the Iran war! ...It was a long ago Pentagon plan and Trump acted on it.. ..
- China lost 30% of oil imports now - 15% Venezuela, 15% Iran - putting enormous pressure on Chinese economy
- Technically in a narrow perspective Trump can say his Iran war achieved all goals, changed regime, decapitated leadership, destroyed Iranian infrastructure, so he can withdraw citing a WIN. {I agree, technically it can be called a victory..}
- 'Russian Experts' who Doctorow talked to are very gloomy they think Iran has lost the war.. lost top military leadership, lost political leadership
- Houthis can rule Strait of Hormuz
- Trump's saving card is that he declared a 28 day war and exactly in 28 days the war will end, Trump declares victory: He has strong points to defend himself before congress. "America Won!" Still he will be out in November
{And the Cannibal Epstein Psychos will be back in power.. Hurray!!}- London is not paying insurance in Strait of Hormuz, but US can replace that service giving same insurance, but US won't be able to open the Strait...
Why is an announcement made beforehand instead of just doing it? It seems such a preannounced plan is likely to fail if revealed before the action is initiated. But, in this case, is it a warning to Trump to cease hostilities? And, now we see what Russia alluded to about "possible radiological catastrophe."
The Anglo empire has accumulated a LOT of karmic debt. Eventually, something will have to give.
The sinking of the ARA General Belgrano was a naval combat action that took place on May 2, 1982, outside the exclusion zone agreed upon during the Malvinas War. As a result of the attack by the British nuclear submarine HMS Conqueror, the Argentine cruiser was sunk.
The sinking of the Argentine cruiser gave the British naval superiority in the area. The attack caused the death of 323 Argentines—practically half of that country's casualties in the entire conflict. The event generated controversy in both countries, as it occurred outside the exclusion zone established by the British government around the islands. It is the only case of a ship sunk in war by a nuclear submarine.
So the UK/Starmer show reluctance to get involved in the war, and then one of these drones attacks the British base in Cyprus.
Journalist Andreas Paraschos writes today in OFFSITE that the British are hosting nuclear weapons in Akrotiri. He also writes that "The British sovereign bases in Akrotiri constitute NATO's largest nuclear weapons base in the Eastern Mediterranean, in the soft underbelly of the Middle East."
He claims that this is why various countries, including England, rushed to "shield" Cyprus.
If Paraschos' information is correct, it is easy to see the implications. The article does not provide details or evidence, but presents it as fact.
Offsite took down today’s article of mine about the nuclear weapons at Akrotiri, falsely claiming that they spoke with me and asked me to substantiate what I wrote. I have been in journalism since 1988. I have written hundreds of reports and investigations on the extremely serious issue of the missing persons, as well as on war crimes, and no one has ever refuted me. It is well known that in 2021 I resigned from the editorship of Kathimerini because of revelations I made about the transfer of money to the Seychelles by the former President Nicos Anastasiades. He initially denied the trip to the Seychelles, then admitted that it was not just one trip, and now the relevant report from the Commission on Corruption is pending. Today, many “eager” people on social media are demanding that I prove the existence of nuclear weapons at Akrotiri. It is out of the question for me to reveal my source — that is my basic journalistic right. The ones who must tell us whether nuclear weapons have been installed at Akrotiri are first the British (who will certainly not confirm it) and, of course, our own President of the Republic. Think about why the Americans are advising their citizens to leave Cyprus. Think about why NATO (Greece, France, Germany and Britain) is sending state-of-the-art warships to Cyprus…

❗️❗️❗️An Iranian drone struck the airport in the city of Nakhchivan, Azerbaijan. 🔵 Military Summary 📱 Новости России | Военные сводкиt.me
Could also be, that Azerbaijan airport was also hit by the epstein-coalition. Since Azerbaijan is not on best terms with Iran, supporter of Israel and could create some sparks.
There are reports that that drone was not Iranian:
Now, take into account this speech below of Starmer, thanking the british soldiers at one of the Cyprus bases. Among others he says: "This base obviously, sort of has multidimensions to it, there's a lot of different work that goes on. I am also aware that some of, or quite a bit of what goes on here, can't necessarily be talked about all the time. Although we are really proud of what you are doing we can't necessarily tell the world of what you are doing here. And therefore it makes it really important to say, Thank you, to aknowledge that. Because, although we are not saying it to the whole world, for reasons that are obvious to YOU, the whole world is relying on you" blah blah blah...
Everybody knows that the brits have been using the pieces of Cyprus they stole post-colonial era to aid the US and israel in all their attacks and wars in the Middle East. But is there more going on?
A Cypriot veteran journalist wrote an article a couple of days ago, posted it on the internet and was immediately deleted. I only have Greek sources talking about it: a screenshot of the article before it was taken down, and a summary
Paraschos, the journalist replied with this,
It's really hard for anyone to get any information about anything that goes on at the british bases, and it has been this way since the 1960s. But if Paraschos says he has sources, he has sources. He is known to be a serious journalist.
For the life of me I could not understand why everyone was making such a big fuss after a little drone that fell at one of the bases and barely made a dent. In 1974, when Turkey invaded Cyprus, nobody sent any warships. Over half a century of occupation by Turkey and noone ever talks about it in the high places of the EU. So yeah, something else is going on there, and there may well be nukes.
I spoke with my family in Cyprus who are worried that somebody is going to drag them all into this war. They still support Iran, they don't believe Iran is bombing them, and now more than ever they want the british bases closed down. Those are the sentiments of most people on the island, except for the government, who are mostly found with their pants down bending to us-rael.
Could be, I’ll be watching to see if there will be something more about that…Could also be, that Azerbaijan airport was also hit by the epstein-coalition. Since Azerbaijan is not on best terms with Iran, supporter of Israel and could create some sparks.
TL;DR: They are going to drag Argentina into the conflict.
Iran did not launch drones toward Azerbaijan, the Islamic Republic's General Staff stated.Could also be, that Azerbaijan airport was also hit by the epstein-coalition. Since Azerbaijan is not on best terms with Iran, supporter of Israel and could create some sparks.
I think Azerbaijan is sort of like Turkey, trying to play both sides. They have much better relations with Russia now and are very close with Turkey (ethnically very similar).Since Azerbaijan is not on best terms with Iran, supporter of Israel and could create some sparks.
