Trump's latest scheme to 'unblock the Strait of Hormuz' is almost certainly not going to work, but more importantly, what is the likelihood that hostilities will recommence between the US and Iran? Also, what really happened during that so-called 'rescue mission' south of Isfahan last week?
And should we have sympathy for Trump? He seems to be at the mercy of forces he can neither placate nor out-maneuver...

"Love is hard to give to someone who is making life hell for you. Really hard. But you can have compassion." Sri Svami Purna Maharaj (paraphrased)
Everyone has a role to play. Even Judas.
What a surprise...they vote against revealing it.
One signle isolated fact does not determine a personality, it's alliances, and it's life. Orban had once been in Schwab's "Young Leader" circle of selected EU jerks, but obviously did not follow up on that at all.
I personally had been a member of a communist youth organisation and served in a communist country's army. It does not really make me a communist, to put it mildly ...
Right, Magyar's actions indicate he is not a puppet so far.
But as this blogger explains, such Russian statements are not "read lines" or a "hreats". Instead, they are a diplomatic preparation and a legal justification for coming military strikes. (Note that they explicitely quoted the UN charta). And according to this blogger, the Russians only proceed to this stage when all the intelligence is acquired, assets (missiles) are allocated, the target coordinate download is finished, and the troups are ready to go within minutes.
I'm not sure if the likes of Kallas, Rutte or von-der-Lying understand this.
But some less insane people in Europe saw this coming, years ago. The Hungarians are probably amongst them.
Yes. Either that for 18 months, or jail for 24 months.
An experience very formative for my opinion about socialism and communism.
But with the US re-engaged with Iran, and taking another beating, they will be unable and unwilling to respond to any article 5 request by rump Nato countries. Two or three days into the renewed attacks, the zionists will have ran out of AD missiles, and Israel is hammered by Iran. A perfect window of opportunity for the Russians to make a move.
As I heard, the Russian general staff is actually war-gaming such scenarios since 2022. They knew, a confrontation with Nato is unavoidable once the Ukraine is defeated. And besides of (externally produced) drones, there is very little resistance on the battlefield.
I would guess the Russians make a move a few days into the resurgence of the Iran/US/Israel war. And I would further guess, targeting the Baltics, Finland, and perhaps Germany and the UK.
Ukraine was the spearhead of a Balkanization of Russia. I think the Russian SMO was to preempt an attack through Ukraine on Russia with the aim of recapturing Crimea. Crimea was central for Russia to have control over the Black Sea, and land-locked countries are at the mercy of their bordering countries.
In my view, the Iran/Israel conflict was intended to be the last conflict in the plan of the globalists, but the Trump team preempted that.
There are other factors at play that are not publicly visible. Venezuela, Cuba, the Golden Dome, Greenland, China, Taiwan, Epstein files, illegal immigration, extraterrestrial or dimensional involvement in the Earth's history.
The idea, harking back to Mackinder, was to engage the heartland region (Russia and China) in endless conflicts in the rimland region, to weaken them and wear them down. Think all the Middle East conflicts, Afghanistan, Taiwan, Yugoslavia, Vietnam, Nepal, Georgia, Armenia ... and the list goes on. A climactic confrontation with a final direct battle is what they definitely want to avoid. And here I disagree.
Engaging the US military, the only still somewhat significant Western force in a direct war against an ally of Russia and China was the worst and most stupid move Trump could make. And this capital mistake is caused by Trumps total ignorance in military matters, and the utter incompetence of his core administration in this regard. The US was never a good fighting force, and never really able to take on a near peer or even peer. But now it is out in the open. As col. Wilkerson has suggested lately, this seems to be the most probable explanation. Consider Melania's unsolicited denial lately. Most likely they have really dirty stuff on both of them. How could you otherwise get a man to totally destroy himself politically in public ?
Only if the alternative would be worse.
In my view, this is an election year that will determine if the Trump agenda dismantling corruption (no DEI, no USAID, etc) continues. Melania's talk was to defuse the use of her Epstein connection during the campaign, which has begun. If they had evidence on Trump, they would have used it during the last campaign.
Epstein associated with millionaires, billionaires, scientists, academics. There will be "guilt" by having a photograph with Epstein. There will be AI created videos and photos.
I think a full (or even nearly full) disclosure of the Epstein documents would uproot the whole federal political system in the US. To me, it looks much less so now. Rather that Trump (and his sponsors) always wanted to take over this network from their adversaries. Whereby the latter are represented publicly by the democratic party.
And I still think there will be no elections this fall. Or, if there are elections, something drastic happens domestically before.
There are inconsistencies in Trump's media position regarding Iran that suggest that Israel does have some leverage/threat over Trump/USA.
Some analysts are even stating that Trump will be replaced as the President because of the caricature as tyrant being created by the media. Essentially Trump admin does the dirty work, and then someone else steps in to complete the transition. There are many vectors involved.
However, they wanted the driver seat for themselves, just replacing them as world hegemon. Never did they even consider the multipolar word so much was spoken about lately. This becomes obvious by the US-supported continuation of the Ukraine conflict, and the current Iran war with direct US troup involvement.
The appearance of Israel having leverage over Trump is an illusion. Netanjahu is just the errand boy for the most radical sponsors of this current administration, and by no means a key figure.

"Unlike many diplomatic meetings that end with vague declarations, the KMT-CPC talks produced concrete follow-up measures. Most important were ten new initiatives, including the creation of a regular communication mechanism between the two parties."
Here is a March 26 Executive Order.
Executive Order 14398 of March 26, 2026 Addressing DEI Discrimination by Federal Contractors .
"My Administration has made significant progress in ending racial discrimination in American society, including so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) activities in which employees, applicants, or contracting parties are treated differently, separated, or singled out based on their race or ethnicity, rather than treated equally and objectively based on their merit and without regard to their immutable characteristics."
