Trump's amazing inaugural address is a comprehensive and devastating indictment of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Mr and Mrs Clinton and their fellow travellers.
It reminds me of the big ass military command and control complex that was built and prepared in Qatar well before Iraq 2.0 and Afghanistan was launched. This thing in Bernie is preparation for something big down the line.
The US president-elect’s inner circle reportedly sees Keir Starmer as “irrelevant” and “not a priority”
Incoming US President Donald Trump may sideline British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, placing him “at the back of the queue” of world leaders invited to Washington, following accusations of Labour Party meddling in US elections.
Good, as I was saying earlier, the UK is becoming irrelevant, by their own actions and diminishing economic status, they just haven’t fully accepted and internalized it yet. They will, escape from reality is only ever temporary.
1. What additional sanctions are possible such that Iran would not continue production of the ingredients for a nuclear weapon (which may or may not have been put together today)
-probably None.
2. What sanctions worked (if any) best in the past, that were lifted, such that US could do those same sanctions again
-probably None.
3. Can Russia and Iran avoid SWIFT ?
I had read one of the main purposes of the Russia Iran agreement is to avoid SWIFT entirely
[[[ of note: It also now appears quite clear US intended Russia to get involved in Syria and Putin not taking the bait has really upset the US plans in the mideast ]]]
Can Russia and Iran can succesfully avoid SWIFT
that is really the FIRST question anyone should be asking
. The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT) is a secure messaging system that allows financial institutions to send and receive money transfer instructions internationally.
[[[ of note: It also now appears quite clear US intended Russia to get involved in Syria and Putin not taking the bait has really upset the US plans in the mideast ]]]
Russia can fully focus on and supply Iran with weapons and air defense
I wonder if these embassies are AI hubs and data processing centres. Pilotless AI drones require a lot of computing power. It would be interesting to see how these embassies are powered.
Of course this would make them military targets but sovereign territory simultaneously.
One of the comments was kinda funny, “They just wanted to squeeze him, but it backfired. Pretty sure that fat fuk, Bob Barr, was at the center of the whole thing.”
O/T but gotta say --
First Class Inaugural ceremony.
Navy Chorus marching in singing Battle Hymn of Republic -- about made me cry.

Biden's final act. This is extraordinary...

Iran has Russia's full attention (and resources)

P.S. Russia Withdrawal From Syria
Putin correctly picked his battle
Just like withdrawing from Kherson in 2022
. US claims sign of weakness when it is a sign of Strength.
.
Absolutely agree.

I’ll bet they were hoping to get dirt on Trump by raiding Epstein’s residences in NYC and Little Saint James. But they came up with zilch.

Unfortunately sounds true, sigh…
It is always good to have an enormous US embassy in your country. /s.
Heck, I'll let 'em build one in my 25 acre Khanate if they pay me a enough, a few millions of dollars sounds good.
