Brace Yourselves For War Between Iran and Israel

[Ellipse]

With what happen in Iran, Russia and China are tightening their ties once again and they are displaying a united front against the West.

Following a high-level meeting in Beijing, Russia and China have displayed an increasingly overt strategic convergence: challenging what they describe as the Western desire to maintain a form of global hegemony.

In an official statement, Moscow denounced attempts by Western powers to preserve their dominance, framing them within a historical continuity dating back several centuries. This worldview directly opposes the Western vision of a liberal international order with that defended by Beijing and Moscow: a multipolar system based on state sovereignty.

The crisis in the Middle East, and particularly tensions surrounding Iran, occupied a central place in these discussions. Russian and Chinese authorities attribute responsibility for the escalation to the actions of the United States and its allies, believing that this conflict extends beyond a regional framework to become part of a global strategic rivalry.

For these two powers, current clashes illustrate a broader opposition: that between an international order dominated by the United States and the emergence of a multipolar world in which new centres of power—notably within the expanded BRICS—intend to exert greater influence.

This interpretation leads Moscow and Beijing to downplay the idea of a conflict motivated solely by local dynamics or regional alliances. On the contrary, they view it as an episode of systemic competition, where energy, economic, and geopolitical stakes overlap.

Beyond this diagnosis, this stance reflects a tightening of the Russo-Chinese partnership. Increased diplomatic coordination, alignment within international forums, and implicit support for certain states contested by the West: all are signs of the progressive structuring of an alternative bloc.

Naturally, Western countries (globalists) strongly contest this interpretation, putting forward their own security and political arguments.

In this context, these statements illustrate less a universally accepted truth than a growing fracture in how global balances of power are interpreted—a fracture that undoubtedly constitutes one of the defining features of contemporary geopolitics.

The Alexes of the Duran had a conversation with Alex (! . . . ) Reporterfy, who among other things makes analyses of, and coaches trading in, the derivatives market, Not for the faint of heart. They talk about the effects the war is having on that market, and how traders, including Iran, are gaming it based on Trump's various announcements, and Iran's responses. The whole thing is worth a watch.

In any case this section caught my attention because he view a disastrous, irrevocable financial situation developing by mid-April if matters can't be pulled from the brink in the next week. Another candidate for the April Drop Dead Date? Scary, scary stuff
