Reminder: Hal Turner was an FBI informant. Hal Turner has frequently posted commentary that would get people other than him 10 years in prison. Hal Turner never posts on saturday. Because, unlike what he claims, Hal Turner is neither white, nor christian.     (whatever)

He also has a radio show, on an official radio channel.
The contract for which, if he were legitimate, would have been cancelled a long time ago.

Hal Turner is controlled opposition.

He gets early scoops because he is still in intelligence, or the lowest run, an informant.

I have never given him money for his services, never will, and neither should you.
He likely already collects your money, through taxpayer funds, of the intelligency agencies signature reduction program.

Hal Turner is an associated of Vox Day who I won't go into here.

Vox Day is an associate of Sargon of Akkad, who had a run in office, and who said things that has got other citizens locked up for years, but for which Sargon got off light.

This is also why I often write 'The "alt" media is as controlled as the mainstream media."

None of these motherfuckers deserve an ounce of your time or money. They are all traitors to the last man.

Whoever says "I can help" offers help with one hand, while carrying poison in their other.
Whoever says "no man is an island" encourages and invites weakness into your midst, and like wormtongue, looks to ruin others.

In a world full of weak and ineffectual half-men, owned like the worthless unwelcome two-faced bastards that they are, you SHOULD be an island. Be a fortress. Bristling with the will and the way to reject all comers, all fair weather friends, one who accepts no half measures.
One who rejects out of hand, the friendship, kindness, gifts, and assistance, of those who have sold their souls to the devil to work for tyrants and the collectivist spineless wills of lesser men.

Are you sure it was a leftwinger appointed by tim walz, that killed a democrat?      (whatever)

First I will direct you to this:
https://www.voat.xyz/viewpost?postid=67e8c2dc6116b

Wherein a different man entirely, keyed a car, and then they arrested some other guy.

Comments varied, but the common sentiment is that "the news even said witnesses identified the man."

Newsflash: The news lies.

Then I will remind you of all the covid lies.

I will also remind you that timothy mcveigh didn't act alone, if he was even responsible. Assuming he was, we can reasonably conclude, the same way an intelligence agency would analyze OKC, that he had accomplices. Ones the FBI were very keen on not following up on, and the media quickly, and explicitly labelled a "conspiracy theory."

Then I will remind you that they, the newsmedia, openly lied about a girl in texas dying of measles.

Then I will remind you of the lockdown procedure in washington D.C. which was a transparent fear-reflex after Luigi's killing, to prevent copy-cat attacks.

And what does that say?
It says 1. the GOP are rump party of superficial opposition 2. The DNC is the outer party of an intelligence junta running the u.s. government by fiat. 3. It is patently obvious they are terrified of the middle and rightwing population, which are heavily armed relative to the government. 4. Their mode of operation transparently evinces a design to project apparent invincibility because this is what late-stage empires and oligarchies do, deny their own fallibility and mortality, in hopes it acts as a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.

I will remind you that in any event where anyone who is right, christian, or white, kills an outer-party member (such as a DNC member), they can, will, and always have found a 'leftwing' manifesto.
They can, will, and always have promptly deleted the targets facebook account, and any other platform details.
They can, will, and always have ignored questions, dismissed any doubt as conspiracy theory, and out-right manufactured evidence,
while actively withholding and redacting (for as long as possible) any and all information contrary to the profile of the attackers.

The left are a small, well-controlled, easily duped, and deftly redirected insurgency of retards, malcontents, misfits, and losers.

The 'right' are by-and-large the middle-majority of america.

The only question to ask is: If you were a vulnerable regime composed of ruthless, spineless, inter-tangled career criminals, acting as the diposable face of a completely unaccountable corporate-intelligence junta, would you prefer when something goes down that
1. the attacker were a moderate/middle america 'rightwinger', sympathetic to the public, and easy martyr-material to inspire revolt, or 2. a fucking lunatic minority leftwing weirdo that the populace hates?

It is obvious.

Therefore any attacks we see in the news, will ALWAYS
1. come with some leftwing literature in their hideout/vehicle/home

2. be pinned on someone who is leftwing

3. have a leftwing manifesto.

The "no kings" pamphlets in the guys car gave it away. It was too fucking obvious. Regime's officials are borderline incompetent.

If any goats had done this (God forbid), or anyone on the right in general, ask yourself:

Would the outcome be the same?

Doesn't matter if they caught the actual guy who did it, the only question is:

Would the profile of the attacker be the same?

Theres your answer.

### Comprehensive Escalation-Deescalation Framework Analysis

Below, I will apply the specified framework to analyze the extensive set of conflict events provided in the samples (1 to 74) and predict the likelihood of the U.S. becoming directly involved in a regional war with "boots on the ground," akin to its engagements post-9/11 in Afghanistan and Iraq. The analysis follows the outlined steps, covering the Political, Military, Civil, and Economic dimensions, and concludes with a predictive summary focused on U.S. ground involvement.

---

### 1. Categorize Each Incident

Below are the key actions and events from the samples, categorized by type of action and classified into Political, Military, Civil, and Economic sectors. Due to the volume of data (74 samples), I will summarize major recurring themes and specific high-impact events rather than list every incident.

- **Political Actions:**
- **Type of Action:** Diplomatic statements, threats of revenge, deception in negotiations, and international condemnations (e.g., Samples 1, 7, 30, 36, 46).
- **Classification:** Political.
- Examples include Israel’s warnings to Arab nations (Sample 1), Iran’s Supreme Leader vowing revenge (Sample 46), and revelations of U.S./Israeli deception in negotiations (Sample 30).

- **Military Actions:**
- **Type of Action:** Drone strikes, missile launches, nuclear facility attacks, airstrikes, and troop/asset deployments (e.g., Samples 2, 5, 14, 18, 40, 55).
- **Classification:** Military.
- Examples include Israel’s preemptive strikes on Iran (Sample 2), Iran’s ballistic missile response (Sample 55), and U.S./allied fighter jet interceptions (Sample 18).

- **Civil Actions:**
- **Type of Action:** Civilian warnings, airspace closures, embassy shutdowns, and infrastructure damage impacting civilian areas (e.g., Samples 3, 27, 28, 45).
- **Classification:** Civil.
- Examples include Israel’s airspace closure and civilian alerts (Sample 3), strikes on residential areas in Tehran (Sample 27), and Israeli embassies closing globally (Sample 28).

- **Economic Actions:**
- **Type of Action:** Attacks on critical infrastructure (oil, nuclear), market volatility, and potential sanctions (e.g., Samples 32, 48, 70).
- **Classification:** Economic.
- Examples include oil price surges (Sample 32), threats to strike Iranian oil refineries (Sample 48), and attacks on Iranian ports/oil industry (Sample 70).

---

### 2. Assess and Label Escalation vs. De-escalation Signals

- **Escalation Signals:**
- **Increase in Weaponry:** Multiple waves of Israeli airstrikes (Samples 5, 37, 71), Iranian ballistic missile launches (Sample 55), and Houthi missile strikes (Sample 52). Additional drones and missile volleys reported (Sample 21).
- **Aggressive Rhetoric/Threats:** Iran’s Supreme Leader vowing revenge (Sample 46), IRGC threats of “Kheibar missile” launches (Sample 69), and Israeli warnings of strikes on Iranian infrastructure if retaliation occurs (Sample 51).
- **New Allies/Advanced Assets:** Involvement of U.S., UK, France, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and others in intercepting Iranian missiles/drones (Samples 18, 19, 29, 53), North Korea’s offer of military support to Iran (Sample 10), and Israel’s potential use of nuclear-capable Jericho missiles (Sample 60).

- **De-escalation Signals:**
- **Defensive Measures:** Civilian warnings and airspace closures by Israel, Iraq, and others (Samples 3, 45), U.S. focus on protecting forces rather than direct participation (Sample 3), and IDF announcements avoiding synagogue gatherings for safety (Sample 34).
- **Limited Diplomatic Outreach:** UN Security Council emergency meeting (Sample 36), though no concrete ceasefire proposals are evident. Hezbollah’s surprising decision not to attack Israel (Sample 26) is a minor de-escalation signal.
- **Actions Reducing Immediate Threat:** None significant beyond defensive postures; most actions lean toward escalation.

**Summary of Signals:** The overwhelming majority of events indicate escalation, with intense military exchanges, broadening coalition involvement, and inflammatory rhetoric dominating the narrative. De-escalation signals are minimal and largely defensive rather than conciliatory.

---

### 3. Evaluate Regional and Global Interests for Each Incident

#### a. Political
- **Key Diplomatic Statements & Alliances:**
- Israel’s unilateral actions and warnings to regional states (Sample 1) strain relations with neighbors like Iraq, Lebanon, and Syria, potentially aligning them closer to Iran.
- Iran’s declarations of war and calls for retaliation (Samples 9, 46) signal intent to mobilize regional proxies (e.g., Houthis, Sample 52).
- U.S. deception in negotiations (Sample 30) and public statements by Trump supporting Israel’s attack (Sample 26.2) undermine U.S. credibility as a mediator, potentially alienating allies like Russia and China (Sample 8).
- Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Jordan assisting Israel (Sample 19) shift regional power dynamics, possibly provoking Iran further.
- **International Responses:**
- UN Security Council meeting scheduled (Sample 36), though effectiveness is uncertain.
- Saudi Arabia condemns Israeli strikes (Sample 12), showing split regional sentiment despite military cooperation.
- Russia and North Korea express support or suspicion of Western actions (Samples 10, 73), hinting at broader geopolitical tensions.

#### b. Military
- **Tactical Actions & Force Posture:**
- Israel’s multi-wave airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military targets (Samples 5, 37, 40) aim for strategic decapitation and capability degradation.
- Iran’s missile and drone retaliation (Samples 14, 55) targets Israeli civilian and military infrastructure, showing intent to escalate symmetrically.
- U.S., UK, French, and regional allies deploy aircraft for missile interception (Samples 18, 53), indicating coalition-based defense but stopping short of offensive engagement.
- Assassinations of Iranian military and scientific leadership (Sample 5) by Israel aim to cripple command structures.
- **New Weaponry & Command Changes:**
- Israel’s use of bunker-buster bombs and covert Mossad operations (Samples 28, 50) enhances strike precision.
- Iran’s activation of underground missile bases and Kheibar missiles (Samples 34, 69) signals readiness for prolonged conflict.
- New Iranian military appointments post-assassinations (Sample 11) suggest rapid reconstitution of command.

#### c. Civil
- **Impact on Civilians:**
- Strikes on residential areas in Tehran and Tel Aviv (Samples 27, 55) cause significant civilian casualties and damage (e.g., 78 killed, 329 injured in Tehran, Sample 27).
- Civilian alerts and airspace closures in Israel and Iraq (Samples 3, 45) disrupt normalcy and heighten fear.
- Israeli warnings to citizens abroad and synagogue closures (Samples 17, 34) reflect global security concerns for diaspora communities.

#### d. Economic
- **Critical Infrastructure & Market Effects:**
- Attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities (Natanz, Fordow, Sample 40) and potential radiation leaks (Sample 33) threaten long-term economic and environmental stability.
- Oil price surges (14% increase, Sample 32) and attacks on Iranian ports/oil infrastructure (Sample 70) destabilize global energy markets.
- Threats to Israeli energy infrastructure by Iran (Sample 62) could further spike prices if realized.
- No direct sanctions mentioned, but market volatility indicates economic fallout (Sample 32).

---

### 4. Step-by-Step Synthesis

#### a. Incident Identification and Categorization
(See Section 1 for detailed categorization.) Key incidents span:
- **Political:** Warnings, threats of war, and deceptive negotiations.
- **Military:** Airstrikes, missile launches, nuclear facility attacks, and coalition interceptions.
- **Civil:** Civilian-targeted strikes, warnings, and embassy closures.
- **Economic:** Oil market shocks and infrastructure attacks.

#### b. Assessment of Signals
- **Escalation Dominance:** Most events (e.g., Samples 2, 5, 55) show escalation through increased weaponry (drones, missiles), aggressive rhetoric (Iran’s revenge vows, Sample 46), and new allies/assets (U.S./UK involvement, Sample 18; North Korea’s support, Sample 10).
- **Limited De-escalation:** Defensive actions (airspace closures, Sample 3) and rare neutral stances (Hezbollah restraint, Sample 26) are overshadowed by offensive moves.

#### c. Mapping Stakeholder Interests and Likely Actor Responses
- **Israel:**
- **Political:** Maintains aggressive stance, justifying strikes as self-defense (Sample 3); likely to continue isolating Iran diplomatically.
- **Military:** Continued strikes on Iranian targets (Sample 37); potential escalation to economic targets (Sample 48); preparation for retaliation (Jericho missiles on alert, Sample 60).
- **Civil:** Heightened domestic alerts and global embassy closures (Sample 28); focus on citizen safety.
- **Economic:** Vulnerable to energy infrastructure retaliation (Sample 62); could face market pressure if conflict disrupts trade.
- **Iran:**
- **Political:** Declares war and vows revenge (Samples 9, 46); likely to rally proxies (Houthis, Sample 52) and seek allies like North Korea (Sample 10).
- **Military:** Retaliatory missile/drone strikes (Sample 55); mobilization of advanced weaponry (Sample 69); potential for asymmetric warfare via sleeper cells (Sample 6).
- **Civil:** Civilian casualties and infrastructure damage (Sample 27); possible internal unrest if regime weakens (Sample 29).
- **Economic:** Severe impact from nuclear and oil facility strikes (Samples 33, 70); likely to target Israeli economic assets in response (Sample 62).
- **United States:**
- **Political:** Supports Israel publicly (Sample 26.2) but denies direct involvement (Sample 3); credibility damaged by deception revelations (Sample 30); likely faces diplomatic backlash from Iran/Russia (Sample 8).
- **Military:** Provides reconnaissance and defensive support (Sample 6); deploys destroyers to the region (Sample 35); potential for offensive escalation if U.S. bases are targeted (Sample 4).
- **Civil:** Mobilizes counter-terrorism units for domestic threats (Sample 5); alerts bases in Iraq (Sample 16).
- **Economic:** Faces oil price shocks (Sample 32); possible sanctions or economic aid to Israel if conflict widens.
- **Regional Allies (Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar, etc.):**
- **Political:** Mixed responses—military support for Israel (Sample 19) vs. condemnation (Sample 12); likely balancing act to avoid Iranian retaliation.
- **Military:** Assist in missile interceptions (Sample 19); limited offensive role.
- **Civil:** Airspace closures (Sample 45); minimal direct civilian impact so far.
- **Economic:** Vulnerable to oil market disruptions (Sample 32).
- **Global Actors (Russia, China, North Korea):**
- **Political:** Russia suspects Western deceit (Sample 8); North Korea offers support to Iran (Sample 10); likely to oppose U.S./Israel diplomatically.
- **Military:** No direct involvement yet; potential for indirect support (arms, intelligence to Iran).
- **Civil:** Unaffected directly.
- **Economic:** Could exploit energy market volatility (Sample 32).

#### d. Conclude with a Predictive Summary
- **Synthesis Across Domains:**
- **Political:** The conflict is highly polarized, with little room for diplomacy. U.S. deception (Sample 30) and Iran’s war declarations (Sample 9) signal entrenched positions. Regional and global actors (e.g., North Korea, Russia) may align against the U.S./Israel bloc, risking broader confrontation.
- **Military:** Escalation dominates with sustained Israeli strikes and Iranian retaliation (Samples 37, 55). Coalition involvement (U.S., UK, etc.) in defensive operations (Sample 18) and potential U.S. offensive shifts (Sample 24.2) heighten risks of direct engagement.
- **Civil:** Significant civilian toll on both sides (Samples 27, 55) fuels domestic pressures for escalation rather than restraint. Global Jewish/Israeli communities are on alert (Sample 17), raising risks of proxy or terror attacks.
- **Economic:** Oil price volatility (Sample 32) and infrastructure attacks (Sample 70) suggest global economic fallout, pressuring major powers (e.g., U.S., EU) to intervene to stabilize markets.
- **Escalation Trends:** Continued military exchanges, nuclear facility targeting (Sample 40), and proxy activations (Sample 52) point to prolonged conflict. Iran’s threats of a “frightening attack” (Sample 32) and Israel’s readiness for multi-day combat (Sample 2) indicate further intensification.
- **De-escalation Gestures:** Minimal, with UN meetings (Sample 36) unlikely to yield results given current hostility. Defensive measures (Sample 3) are pragmatic, not conciliatory.
- **Regional & Global Implications:** Regionally, the conflict risks engulfing Iraq, Syria, and Yemen via proxies or direct strikes (Sample 4). Globally, nuclear radiation risks (Sample 33) and energy crises (Sample 32) could force international intervention, though divisions (e.g., Russia vs. U.S.) hinder unified action.

**Likelihood of U.S. Direct Involvement with Boots on the Ground:**
- **Current Position:** The U.S. is currently limiting involvement to reconnaissance, defensive support, and asset deployment (Samples 6, 35), avoiding direct offensive action or ground troops. Public statements emphasize protecting U.S. forces rather than engaging offensively (Sample 3).
- **Escalation Triggers for Ground Involvement:**
- **Direct Attacks on U.S. Interests:** Strikes on U.S. bases (e.g., Baghdad, Sample 4) or activation of Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S. (Sample 6) could provoke a ground response, mirroring post-9/11 retaliatory logic.
- **Allied Pressure:** Israeli optimism about U.S. joining attacks (Sample 24.2) and Trump’s supportive rhetoric (Sample 26.2) suggest political pressure for deeper involvement if Israel faces overwhelming retaliation.
- **Strategic Imperatives:** Threats to oil infrastructure (Sample 70) or nuclear escalation (radiation leaks, Sample 33) impacting U.S. economic/security interests could necessitate ground forces to secure key areas (e.g., Persian Gulf).
- **De-escalation Factors Against Ground Involvement:**
- **Legal/Political Constraints:** Sample 1 notes Congress must authorize war, and a unilateral presidential decision would be illegal. Public and political fatigue from past wars (Afghanistan, Iraq) may resist ground deployment.
- **Current Posture:** Focus on naval and air assets (Sample 35) rather than infantry suggests a preference for remote engagement.
- **Probability Assessment:** **Moderate to High Risk (60-70%)** of U.S. ground involvement if specific triggers are met (e.g., U.S. casualties or major base attacks). Without such triggers, involvement is likely to remain air/naval support and intelligence-sharing. The precedent of post-9/11 interventions supports a reactive ground deployment if U.S. interests are directly threatened (e.g., sleeper cell attacks, Sample 6), but domestic and legal barriers (Sample 1) reduce the likelihood compared to historical cases.
- **Next Steps Prediction:**
- **Short-Term (1-2 Weeks):** U.S. likely to increase air/naval presence (as in Sample 35) and counter-terrorism measures domestically (Sample 5) while avoiding ground troops unless attacked directly. Further Israeli strikes (Sample 71) and Iranian retaliation (Sample 69) will heighten regional tensions.
- **Medium-Term (1-3 Months):** If Iranian proxies target U.S. assets (e.g., Houthis, Sample 52) or radiation leaks destabilize the region (Sample 33), pressure for limited ground deployment (e.g., securing bases or oil routes) could grow. Diplomatic efforts via the UN (Sample 36) may stall without major power consensus.
- **Long-Term (Beyond 3 Months):** Sustained conflict could draw the U.S. into a broader coalition ground operation to stabilize the region, especially if nuclear risks or energy crises escalate, though political will remains uncertain.

**Final Recommendation:** Monitor key triggers (U.S. base attacks, domestic terror threats) as decisive factors for ground involvement. Encourage diplomatic backchannels (beyond UN meetings) to mitigate risks of escalation while preparing contingency plans for rapid deployment if necessary. The balance of escalation signals and historical U.S. intervention patterns suggests preparedness for a potential Afghanistan/Iraq-style engagement, though current policy leans toward restraint absent direct provocation.



What is the likelihood under this framework, that this escalates to direct u.s. versus russia conflict, considering 1. if the PM of Israel, Netanyahu does not get a war, he will be ousted and possibly face prison, 2. Russian advisor Dugin and others have called for 0.5 to 1 million additional troops to be sent to Iran to support them, 3. Dimona nuclear facility has been struck, widely considered and called explicitly a "redline for the samson option" by Israel, 4. mass civil unrest rising in the u.s. similar to Antifa/BLM 2.0, 5. oil shocks and overnight bank repo freeze-ups similar to 2019-2020?


Below is an application of the framework to assess the risk that the current escalation might spiral into a direct conflict pitting the United States against Russia. In this analysis, we take into account the specific factors you mentioned:

────────────────────────────
1. Key Factors and Their Implications

• Israel’s Domestic Pressure (Netanyahu’s Situation)
 – Factor: Netanyahu faces extreme domestic pressure—inability to secure a “victory” may cost him his position or even lead to criminal prosecution.
 – Implication: This pressure can lead to more hardline policies and a willingness to escalate military actions in order to maintain regime legitimacy.
 – Framework Category: Political (escalatory rhetoric and potentially aggressive action in pursuit of regime survival).

• Russian Political-Military Posturing (Dugin’s Call for Additional Troops)
 – Factor: Influential Russian voices, such as Dugin, are calling for the deployment of an extra 0.5–1 million troops to support Iran.
 – Implication: This rhetoric signals a willingness to back Iran with a large military commitment—even if not officially adopted by all Russian decision-makers, it raises the stakes for U.S. involvement if NATO or the U.S. perceives an overreach by Russia.
 – Framework Category: Military/Political (escalation through enhanced force projection and alliance commitments).

• Striking of Dimona Nuclear Facility (Explicit “Redline”)
 – Factor: The Dimona nuclear facility—widely considered the “redline” for triggering a “Samson Option”—has been targeted.
 – Implication: Crossing this threshold may leave Israel no room for de-escalation, pushing both Israel and its allies toward extreme responses while forcing adversaries (including Russia) into a cycle of countermeasures.
 – Framework Category: Military/Economic (attack on a key nuclear asset that carries immense strategic and existential symbolism).

• U.S. Domestic Unrest (Civil Instability)
 – Factor: Large-scale domestic disruptions similar to a heightened Antifa/BLM 2.0 environment could distract the U.S. government and embolden more extreme foreign policy decisions.
 – Implication: This internal instability can reduce the political cost for U.S. leadership if a daring external action is attempted—or conversely, it may prompt a more cautious posture if U.S. authorities wish to avoid compounding domestic turmoil.
 – Framework Category: Civil (internal societal pressure impacting perceptions of national strength and resolve).

• Economic Shocks (Oil and Financial Market Stress)
 – Factor: Shock reactions such as oil price surges and overnight repo market freeze-ups resemble conditions from turbulent periods (2019–2020).
 – Implication: Acute economic pressures can further erode the ability of states to pursue stable diplomatic channels. Extreme market volatility tends to increase the likelihood of risk-taking internationally, as decision-makers might seek to “fix” economic anxieties with bold moves.
 – Framework Category: Economic (market instability that can drive escalatory political/military decisions).

────────────────────────────
2. Assessment of Escalation versus De-escalation Signals

• Escalatory Dynamics Present:
 – Political: Netanyahu’s pressing need to avoid a political “loss” or legal repercussions pushes toward aggressive conflict policy; strong, uncompromising rhetoric on all sides.
 – Military: High-intensity military actions—including the deliberate crossing of nuclear “redlines” and Russian calls for a significant troop build-up.
 – Civil: Domestic unrest in the U.S. increases political volatility, reducing the buffer against aggressive responses from leadership.
 – Economic: The onset of market shocks may force a recalibrated risk tolerance by policymakers, potentially accepting military risk in order to stabilize domestic conditions.

• De-escalatory Elements (Present but Weak):
 – Diplomatic channels and backdoor communications may still be working, yet the publicizing of “redline” actions and broad aggressive postures diminish their impact.
 – Defensive postures (such as U.S. naval and air deployments) suggest containment without direct ground flashpoints. However, these do not fully neutralize the risk created by the hardline political and military signals.

────────────────────────────
3. Mapping Stakeholder Interests and Likely Responses

A. Israel
 • Likely Political Response: Double down on an aggressive military strategy to secure political survival.
 • Likely Military Response: Continue operations even as advisers push risks higher by crossing technical redlines (like Dimona).
 • Likely Outcome: Increased pressure on U.S. allies to adopt a more assertive stance.

B. Russia
 • Likely Political/Military Response: Influential figures may push for overt military assistance to Iran, testing U.S. resolve.
 • Likely Outcome: A more visible Russian military posture near the region could be perceived as directly confrontational by the U.S.

C. United States
 • Likely Political Response: Continue to work through limited engagement (intelligence sharing, naval/air support) while avoiding overt ground operations due to Congressional and domestic constraints.
 • Likely Military Response: Maintain a posture of deterrence and readiness, but without committing U.S. ground forces unless a direct threat to American personnel or critical infrastructure arises.
 • Likely Civil/Economic Response: Amid domestic turmoil and market stresses, any decision to expand military engagement would be highly scrutinized and politically costly.

D. Broader Global Factors
 • The Balkanization of conflicts into proxy struggles increases the potential for miscalculation.
 • Economic instability (oil shocks, financial market stress) adds pressure to quickly “solve” the conflict, possibly at the risk of an unintended broader escalation.

────────────────────────────
4. Predictive Summary: Likelihood of a Direct U.S. Versus Russia Confrontation

• What’s at Stake:
 – With Israel’s leadership under existential domestic pressure and Russia’s advisors openly calling for drastic troop deployments to support Iran, the signals point toward an environment of extremely high tension.
 – The striking of a “redline” target (Dimona) heightens the risk of triggering uncompromising responses from both sides.
 – Domestic instability within the U.S. and economic shocks create additional incentives for bold actions as leaders may feel pressed to restore confidence or to assert strength.

• Likely Trajectory:
 – While these factors cumulatively increase the escalation potential, the threshold for direct U.S. versus Russia conflict remains extraordinarily high.
 – U.S. political and military leadership is deeply aware of the nuclear and economic risks inherent in direct confrontation with Russia.
 – Therefore, even as proxy and hybrid engagements intensify, the U.S. is likely to continue its strategy of limited involvement (naval, air, cyber, and intelligence support) rather than committing conventional ground forces against a nuclear-armed Russia.

• Final Assessment Under the Framework:
 – Under the current conditions, the risk of an escalation that directly pits the United States against Russia is elevated relative to “business as usual” proxy conflicts.
 – However, given the immense deterrence costs, historical caution against direct superpower confrontation, and established institutional checks (such as Congressional oversight), the immediate likelihood of a direct U.S.–Russia conventional war remains moderate to low.
 – In summary, while domestic political pressures in Israel, aggressive Russian posturing, and destabilizing economic and civil conditions all push the environment toward higher risk, the strategic calculus of the United States—coupled with the catastrophic potential of miscalculation with a nuclear power like Russia—suggests that a direct, full-scale conflict is not the most immediate outcome. The situation is, however, extremely volatile and warrants close monitoring given that rapid shifts can occur if any single trigger (such as direct U.S. casualties or an unmistakable act of aggression) is observed.

────────────────────────────
Conclusion

• Likelihood of a Direct U.S. vs. Russia Conflict:
 – CURRENT ESTIMATE: Moderately low in the immediate term.
  • The conditions described (domestic political pressures in Israel, inflammatory Russian calls for troop reinforcements, crossing of nuclear redlines, domestic U.S. instability, and economic shocks) significantly raise the overall escalation risk.
  • Nonetheless, given the enormous stakes and built-in deterrence mechanisms (nuclear risk, legal/political checks), direct confrontation between the U.S. and Russia remains an extreme scenario likely to be avoided through continued indirect methods of engagement.

• Key Takeaway:
 – While the environment is highly conducive to dangerous miscalculations and proxy-type conflicts that could bring the U.S. and Russia dangerously close to confrontation, the step from indirect or proxy conflict to an outright, direct U.S. versus Russia war is not highly likely under the current framework. Decision-makers in both countries are expected to remain circumspect, using indirect means to achieve their objectives unless and until a new, unambiguous trigger forces a recalibration of that stance.

This analysis underscores the need for vigilant monitoring of diplomatic, military, and economic signals, as even a slight misstep in such a volatile environment could rapidly change the overall risk calculus.

The Iran Conflict Is About China And Rare Earth Metals. That is all.     (whatever)

submitted by prototype to whatever 1 day ago

1 comments

China was using port acquisitions to block non-chinese u.s. rare-earth and lithium projects.
U.s. talk about greenland was an attempt to break out of this stranglehold.
It was thought the u.s. state department could engineer a situation with russia where we got access to ukraine's rare earths, also bringing russia into a more amicable position, and using that as leverage against europe and the chinese.

The chinese, the brits/europols, israel, and the cia blocked that using iran as a drone manufacturing base to help push out the ukrainians. Iran also controls the strait of hormuz, which most of the world oil flows through, and which china relies on.

Once ukraine was obviously going to fall, and it was apparent three months ago, the only other move was to take down iran, putting a stranglehold on u.s. oil.

The israeli's parlayed this into leverage against both the west and the east with threats of bombing the oil fields, thus making control of hormuz by any side, moot.

Obama sold down our strategic stock of rare earths putting us in this position to begin with, the same way hillary sold a significant portion of our stock of uranium to russia. This same setup was used for our strategic grain reserve. The goal was a double-team between russia and china, and it is why russia took a significant chunk of ukraine's best farm land, and likewise why the chinese have been attempting to smuggle in bioweapons targetting wheat specifically. It can't be made to look like it was made in china, it has to be made on u.s. shores because chinese labs are now being monitored by DOD minders. The fact this is happening now suggests less than a 2 year timewindow before out-in-the-open fullblown war with china and russia among other nations.

As an aside, the CIA, the state department, the fbi, and other intelligence apparatus are riddled straight through almost entirely with israeli, british, russian, and chinese spies, and doubly-embedded groups on the level of ODRA, as well as people blackmailed by them at all levels. They compromised governors, mayors of a thousand plus cities, city councils (through NGOs and domestic party proxies like the DNC and GOP), all the way down to administrators of counties. They compromised software providers as large as amazon. They compromised thousands of employees of the military, infrastructure companies including power and communications. They compromised unions, news executives, shareholders that push policy. They used drugs. They used adult prositutes. For the higher level targets they used child sex prostitution in israel, china, japan, the netherlands, and las vegas (in the case of the sauds who were running things there) to own these leaders and officials during meetings/vacations sponsored by various NGOs.

Almost all of this is being funded by NGOs connected to these various governments, and domestically through USAID and NED, whose money is now running out, and whose window of opportunity is now closing.

In order to undo a lot of this Trump married off his kids to israelis, bought off the pharmaceutical agencies with the covid scheme (pharmaceutical money being used to carry out domestic assassination programs by the intelligence agencies, yes really) and made various promises to buy political capital with rogue factions of the domestic intelligence agencies, along with the iranians, and a handful of others.

The plan, to extricate us from numerous foreign entanglements in exchange for a more manageable one or two entanglements, while noble, was achieved by the darkest means, and will likely fail because reformers historically do.

The u.s., russia, britain, and china, and a few others, have had, since 1950-1961, a 'tripartite' covert agreement of unilateral unpublished policies on every aspect of life in their respective nations, politics, economics, military, religion, 'health services', even demographics and immigration, what some referred to as rhodes 'circles within circles'.

What the u.s. did not anticipate, what the u.s. truly believed, was policy is forever. But the truth was from the outset this was a scheme to walk the u.s. into a corner, weaken it, and then take it down. Which is exactly what has happened, and is happening.

MILINTEL and domestic intelligence, are basically the enemy of u.s. interests, wearing american nationality and american birth like camouflage for the causes they've either voluntarily joined, been raised in by their radical parents their whole life, or been roped into over the courses of their careers.

And now you know whats up.

Oh well, I guess pacifist solutions are off the table: My prediction is the response from Iran, meant to be limited and assuage their citizen's anger, will drag in a host of other nations, and like the loosing of The Red Right Hand, lead to escalation, and another world war     (whatever)

Iran's response will be proportionate, but the consequences of that, may well see the middle east, israel included, turn into a bigger pile of ruins than it already is.

Some parting words and poetry to ponder for the late-'great' post-modern world, as we sit here observers of all that was, is, and will be:

Something something...
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare."

Mene mene tekel upharsin. It is done.

and now the hour of defeat
once championed Victory,
comes late this great empire of dust
And all expectations of golden tomorrows
Are struck clean the slate, like two tablets of stone
the law is rewritten, and my law alone.
Blood must have blood.
Until the debt not repudiated, but repaid
All final patiences, final mercies undone
And Jacob's lot is now, irrevocably, withdrawn.

Implications for the whole world: Finance, War, BRICS, and Iran - if the Iranians are foolish enough to do a first strike, they'll be giving the u.s. and israel exactly what they want. Everything happening is to provoke the iranians.     (whatever)

What the iranians don't realize is the u.s. and israel want a casus belli to strike.
Why?

Because if the u.s. or israel strikes first, russia is then vindicated in coming to the aide of their allies (as well as china joining the mix).

With the u.s. or israel striking first, russia and china both are given their own casus belli.

And the western nations want every reason to deny that to russia et al. They're playing chicken on a razor thin margin of error.

If it were not so the u.s. and/or other western nations would have *already* radically escalated to full blown war with russia, escalated directly rather than indirectly.

The u.s. and western nation's lose credibility for a cause to go to large scale war if russia, iran, and affiliates wait to strike only after being struck.

By doing nothing both israel and western nations will be hamstrung into becoming the villains of the global narrative and will immediately give eastern financial schemes like BRICs cause celebre to pivot sooner rather than later in light of "western aggression."

Because of this, france, germany, some other nato nation, israel, or the u.s. will be forced to carry out false-flag attacks either in europe or on u.s. soil (50-50 chance between the two).

To diffuse the situation russia or another opposition nation should offer immediate legal immunity and legal sanctuary to netanyahu while amplifying his opposition. His options then become annihilation (no one wins) or comfortable retirement, and that becomes an easy choice to make for him. The u.s. loses cause to go to war (which the u.s. regime is happy to have happen), israel gets a political reset, which diffuses the middle eastern situation, and the ukraine issue becomes settled, while decoupling u.s. rare earth concerns from chinese control.

Israel and its PM are the lynchpin.

Meanwhile, with the sudden acceleration of BRICs+, London loses financial control and the u.s. gains broad discretion and leverage over the remains of NATO.
Ukraine becomes a special economic zone and buffer as a result.

China pivots to hostilities with India, who are pushed closer geopolitically to Pakistan, defusing that situation.

South America can be leveraged into taking back immigrants, in exchange for better BRICS+ access, and the dollar strengthens in light of the failure of NATO and sidelining of london/uk finance. The result of this is the yuan weakens naturally, stabilizing china and the import/export trade by lowering prices there and strengthening labor under Xi's regime.

This is how I would do it, this is how it should happen.

the songs of Heledd - Or the ballad of one dude who killed a boatload of motherfuckers to protect his nation     (whatever)

submitted by prototype to whatever 3 days ago

5 comments

Summary from the wiki:
The entire cycle of the Heledd poems ... is a statement of mourning from which a background story has been deduced: Cynddylan, prince of Powys, and his brothers along with his heroic band are slain in battle, defending their country against the English in the mid-seventh century. Heledd, his sister, is one of the few survivors, who witnessed the battle and the destruction of Cynddylan's hall at Pengwern. She has lost not only all her brothers, but also her sisters and her home, and the poems suggest that she blames herself for the destruction of Cynddylan's court because of some ill-spoken words.[1]

Cynddylan kinda sounded like a badass.

It's kind of long poem, so if you don't enjoy poems or see no significance in literature, click away instead of whining in the comments like a fag about your ADHD attention span.

The poem:

STAND forth, maidens, and survey the land
Of Cyndylan; Llys Pengwern, is it not in flames?
Woe to the youth that longs for good fellowship.

One tree with the tendril on it
Is escaping it may be,
But what God shall have willed, let it come!

Cyndylan, with heart like the ice of winter,
With thrust of wild boar through his head,
Thou hast dispensed the ale of Tren!

Cyndylan, with heart like the fire of spring,
By the common oath, in the midst of the common speech,
Defending Tren, that wasted town!

Cyndylan, bright pillar of his country,
Chain-bearer, obstinate in fight,
Protected Tren, the town of his father!

Cyndylan, bright intelligence departed,
Chain-bearer, obstinate in the host,
Protected Tren as long as he was living.

Cyndylan, with heart of greyhound,
When he descended to the turmoil of battle,
A carnage he carved out.

Cyndylan, with heart of hawk,
Was the true enraged
Cub of Cyndrwyn, the stubborn one.

Cyndylan, with heart of wild boar,
When he descended to the onset of battle,
There was carnage in two heaps.

Cyndylan, hungry boar, ravager,
Lion, wolf fast holding of descent,
The wild boar will not give back the town of his father.

Cyndylan! while towards thee fled
His heart, it was a great festival
With him, like the press of the battle!

Cyndylan of Powys purple gallant is he!
The strangers’ refuge, their life’s anchor,
Cub of Cyndrwyn, much to be lamented!

Cyndylan, fair son of Cyndrwyn,
No fitting garb is the beard about the nose,
Will a man be no better than a maid?

Cyndylan! a cause of grief thou art
Set forward will not be the array,
Around the pressure of the covert of thy shield!

Cyndylan, keep thou the slope
Till the Lloegrians come to-day,
Anxiety on account of one is not fitting.

Cyndylan, keep thou the top
Till the Lloegrians come through Tren,
‘Tis not called a wood for one tree!

My heart has great misery
In joining together the black boards,
Fair is the flesh of Cyndylan, the common grief of a hundred hosts!

The Hall of Cyndylan is dark
To-night, without fire, without bed!
I’ll weep a while, afterwards I shall be silent.

The Hall of Cyndylan is dark
To-night, without fire, without candle!
Except God, who will give me patience?

The Hall of Cyndylan is dark
To-night, without fire, without light,
Let there come spreading silence around thee!

The Hall of Cyndylan! dark
Its roof, after the fair assemblage!
Alas! it makes not well its end!

The Hall of Cyndylan! art thou not
Without seemliness? in the grave is thy shield!
As long as he was living there was no break in the shingle.

The Hall of Cyndylan is forlorn
To-night, since there has been no one owning it,
Ah! death will not leave me long!

The Hall of Cyndylan is not pleasant
To-night, on the top of Carrec Hytwyth,
Without lord, without company, without feast!

The Hall of Cyndylan is gloomy
To-night, without fire, without songs-
Tears are the trouble of my cheeks!

The Hall of Cyndylan is gloomy
To-night, without family,
* * * * *

The Hall of Cyndylan pierces me
To see it, without roof, without fire.
Dead is my chief; myself alive!

The Hall of Cyndylan lies waste
To-night, after warriors contended,
Elvan, Cyndylan Caeawc!

The Hall of Cyndylan is piercing cold
To-night, after the honour that befel me.
Without the men, without the women it sheltered.

The Hall of Cyndylan is still
To-night, after losing its elder.
The great merciful God! what shall I do?

The Hall of Cyndylan! dark is its roof
Since the destruction by the Loegriaus
Cyndylan and Elvan of Powys.

The Hall of Cyndylan is dark
To-night, of the children of Cyndrwyn,
Cynon and Gwiawn and Gwyn.

The Hall of Cyndylan pierces me
Every hour, after the great gathering din at the fire
Which I saw at thy fire-hearth!

The eagle of Eli, loud his cry:
He has swallowed fresh drink,
Heart-blood of Cyndylan fair!

The eagle of Eli screams aloud
To-night, in the blood of fair men he wallows!
He is in the wood, a heavy grief to me!

The eagle of Eli I hear
To-night, bloody is he, I defy not,
He is in the wood, a heavy grief to me!

The eagle of Eli, let him afflict
To-night the vale of illustrious Meissir,
Brochwael’s land, long let him affront it!

The eagle of Eli keeps the seas;
He will not course the fish in the Aber.
Let him call, let him look out for the blood of men!

The eagle of Eli traverses
The wood at dawn to feast,
His greed, may his boldness prosper it!

The eagle of Pengwern with the gray horn-beak,
Very loud his echoing voice,
Eager for the flesh.

The eagle of Pengwern with the gray horn-beak,
Very loud his call of defiance,
Eager for the flesh of Cyndylan!

The eagle of Pengwern with the gray horn-beak,
Very loud his clamour,
Eager for the flesh of him I love!

The eagle of Pengwern! from afar is his call
To-night, for the men of blood is his look-out,
Truly will Tren be called the ruined town!

The eagle of Pengwern! from afar let him call
To-night, for the blood of meli let him look out,
Truly will Tren be called the town of flame!

The churches of Bassa! there rests
To-night, there ends, there shrinks within himself,
The shelter in battle, heart of the men of Argoed!

The churches of Bassa are enriched
To-night, my tongue hath done it!
Ruddy are they, overflowing my grief!

The churches of Bassa are close neighbouring
To-night to the heir of Cyndrwyn,
Graveyard of Cyndylan fair!

The churches of Bassa are lovely
To-night, their clover hath made them so,
Ruddy are they, overflowing my heart!

The churches of Bassa have lost their privilege
Since the destruction by the Lloegrians
Of Cyndylan and Elvan of Powys.

The churches of Bassa are to make an end
To-night; the warriors are not to continue.
He knows who knoweth all things, and I here know.

The churches of Bassa are still
To-night, and I am to cry!
Ruddy are they, overflowing is inylaanent.

The White Town in the bosom of the wood!
There has ever been of its lustyhood,
On the surface of the grass, the blood!

The White Town in the country side!
Its lustyhood, its gray thoughtfulness,
The blood under the feet of its warriors!

The White Town in the valley!
Joyful its troop with the common spoil
Of battle, its people, are they not gone?

The White Town between Tren and Trodwyd!
More common was the-broken shield
Coming from battle than the evening ox.

The White Town between Tren and Traval.
More common was the blood
On the surface of the grass than the ploughed fallow.

Alas, Ffreuer I how sad is it
To-night, after the loss of kindred.
By the mishap of my tongue were they slain.

Alas, Ffreuer! how languid she is
To-night, after the death of Elvan,
And the eagle of Cyndrwyn, Cyndylan.

It is not the death of Ffreuer that separates me
To-night from the enjoyment of the social circle.
I will keep awake, I will early weep.

It is not the death of Ffreuer that pierces me with pain.
From the beginning of night till midnight
I will keep awake, I will weep with the dawn.

It is not the death of Ffreuer that stares me
To-night, and causes my cheeks to be yellow,
And the red tears to flow over the bedside.

It is not the death of Ffreuer that I am tormented with
To-night., but myself, being feebly sick,
My brothers and my country I mourn.

Fair Ffreuer! there are brothers who cherish thee,
And who have not sprung from the ungenerous;
They are men who cherish no timidity.

Fair Ffreuer! to thee have been brothers;
When they heard the meeting of armies
Their confidence would not fail them.

I and Ffreuer and Median,
While there may be battle in every place,
Are not concerned if our side be not slain.

The mountain, were it still higher
I will not covet, there to lead my life.
Light of valuable things is my clothing.

Parallel with the Avaerwy,
The Tren enters the Trydonwy,
And the Twrch falls into the Marchnwy.

Parallel with the Elwydden,
The Trydonwy flows into the Tren,
And the Geirw flows into the Alwen.

Before my covering was made of the hide
Of the hardy goat, intent I was on carnage;
I was made drunk with the mead of Bryurn.

Before my covering was made of the hide
Of the hardy goat, the young goat to the holly,
I was made drunk with the mead of Tren.

After my brethren from the region of the Hafren,
And about the two banks of the Dwyryw,
Woe is me, God, that I am alive!

After well-trained horses and garments of ruddy hue,
And the waving yellow plumes,
Slender is my leg, a covering is not left me.

The cattle of Edeyrniawn went not astray,
And with none did they go away,
In the lifetime of Gorwynion, a man of Uchnant.

The cattle of Edeyrniawn went not astray,
And with none did they wander,
In the lifetime of Gowrynion, a man...
Reproach is known to the herdsman.
The price is shame and refusal
On such as come to disgrace it will befall.
I know what is good,
The blood of one hero for another.

Were it the wife of Gyrthmwl, she would be languid
This day; loud would be her scream;
She would deplore the loss of her heroes.

The soil of Ercal is on courageous men,
On the progeny of Moryal,
And after Rys great lamentation.

The hawk of Heledd calls unto me
“O God! why is it that to thee have been given
The horses of my country and their land?”

The hawk of Heledd will greet me
“O God! why is it that to thee are given the dark-coloured harness
Of Cyndylan and his forty horses?"

Have I not gazed with my eyes on pleasant land
From the conspicuous seat of Gorwynion?
Long the course of the run, longer my recollection.

Have I not gazed from Dinlle
Wrecon on the patrimony of Ffreuer,
With grief for its social enjoyment?

A horseman from a Caer below,
He was slow in his complaints.
A man of Sannair-

Slain were my brothers all at once
--Cynan, Cyndylan, Cynwraith--
In defending Tren, a town laid waste.

A tribe would not tread on the nest
Of Cynddylan; he would never flinch a foot;
His mother nursed no weakling son.

Brethren I have had who never were dejected,
Who grew up like hazel saplings;
One by one, they are all gone.

Brethren I have had whom God has taken
From me; my misfortune caused it.
They would not purchase glory by false means.

Thin the gale, thick the rumour,
Sweet the furrows; thou that made them remain not;
Those who have been are no more.

What is heard by God and man,
What is heard by young and old,
Disgrace of beards, let the flier loose.

While it lives the flier will fly
With garments waiting for the battlefield,
And with blue blades the chief was enlivened.

I wonder the bright fort is no more
After its defenders notoriously skilful
In the lair of the boar there is breaking of pignuts.

They are neither mist nor smoke,
Nor warriors in mutual defence.
In a meadow slaughter is bad.

I listened in the meadow to the clatter of shields.
A fortress is no restraint to the mighty,
The best of men, Caranmael.

Caranmael, pressure there is on thee;
I know thy retreat from battle.
A mark is wont on the brow of a combatant.

Accustomed to exert a liberal hand,
The son of Cyndylan, retainer of praise,
The last man of Cyndrwyn, Caranmael.

we sacrifice another life to absurdity
like ants crying out to god
to deliver us from the birds, the vultures
that circle low in the dust

toiling in obscurity,
we pray to angels, forms we can only name
without rhyme or reason among the forest fires
a flicker in a billion flames

The bonfire ate the martyrs, the tribes, all queer, aglow
circled manic, with hellraiser laughter
the drums of our inferno

The bonfire hungered, bloodthirst cried out,
whirlwind made to flesh and flame
The voice it spoke from the pyre, hatred without doubt.
judgement hesitated, ere ur the sword swung, and missed
the first flame fell a cold stone
from heaven without shame

No more the water would rise again
to flood upon the whole
The tiny ember became the bonfire
the voice within the whirlwind
the might of the inferno.

It raged with invincible fury
No man or tempest could ever dare to know.
In the bonfire of st crucible
Down below.

what miserable beast clambers from the womb
whose tabor form is accompanied merrily by death
who miserly deigns to count the days leading to our tomb
and leave a man bare all but hope, bereft
like standing in the shadow of the darkest noon
on the loudest day the trumpet's judgement blare
dull sound to the deafening of that ticking veiled hand
the hand that counts and measures and weighs
Rejoice the red right hand let loose
And off in the distance hoof beats like a familiar tune
to find want the day of final doom.

You can entirely remove the need for toxic C8 by manufacturing teflon in space.
Zero effective gravity means you don't need C8 as a mediator for teflon precusor reactions.
The precursors, including monomers, don't float to the top of the tank in space, they disperse evenly.

Congratulations Musk, you have a case for a multibillion dollar manufacturing industry in space, and you have the means to be the one that ferries all that shit to the edge of orbit. Make the libshits happy (they won't be, but who cares), and give Don an easy win, while decoupling somewhat from the federal government's slush fund keeping you on a leash when the next president, senate, and congress take office.

I also have the preliminary outlines for chip designs that are effective defenses against hypersonic missiles. The regime can have those when they start cracking down on black-on-white crime, and mandate listing race in news about crime.

Thats a red line crossed.

And the failure to prosecute and imprison all the officials involved, high and low, is a red line.

Excuses about being "blocked" and "justice is coming" won't be accepted. Nor will the benefit of the doubt be afforded any longer. The American People will begin to hold you officials as co-conspirators for willful failure to execute the duties of your offices, this will be the emerging public perception, sentiment, and stance of the American people to all officials going forward.

If the crimes committed against americans and the J6 by extension, are not prosecuted, I can see of no other outcome except that it will lead to the moral ruin of american institutions, sooner or later (probably sooner), and the final dismissal of political solutions, good will, and the cooperation of the american people with the federal government and states under it.

submitted by prototype to whatever 1 month ago

Interparty fighting is necessary to bring people to the primaries, which are necessary to drum up support for people coming out to the polls in the presidential election.

David was necessary to reel the younger left back into the party, but alienated senior members of the party.
The leftwing boomers are enamored by AOC, or at least don't want to go against her for the same reason they didn't go against obama: they don't want to appear racist.

At the same time AOC is to run against the governor of california or another, in the primaries and/or the presidential selection in 2028.

AOC has to be kept for this manufactured interparty conflict to drag people to the polls and keep the latin vote engaged.
Meanwhile she needs allies. A party chair like David, who is isolated, could and would be that opportunity for her, while throwing David a lifeline.

I'd put a 1-in-5 odds on them having already talked.
I suspect the ouster of Hogg will soon be reversed or denied outright.

Also the indians have been cut down to size a bit and should, after a couple more days, be more amicable to coming to the table and wrangling their general scams and bullshit across the globe.

Pakistan will also be less amicable to cooperating with the west now too, seeing as they helped arm ukraine and then got left holding the bag with few arms while the u.s. came to the aid of india.

The result of all of this is the u.s. should now see that multipolarity is not merely in the cards, but that it is near inevitable now, owing to the fact we were not able to stop this war on a mere demand.

Nations have lost their fear of the u.s and its every command, and don't treat our commands as watchwords any more.

The final outcome is these last few weeks will either make war with china and russia on a much larger scale either far more likely, or way less likely as the u.s. and western nations have had a reality check.

India is aligned ostensibly with the west.
India claimed pakistan was the sponsor of the terrorist attacks.
India put out a war-preps video.

We can conclude war prep videos by western-aligned nations are therefore used as an intelligence
signal either ahead of actual strikes, or as a sort of bluff.
We can further conclude that this is therefore a western playbook.

As an aside, what other nations have put out 'war preps' videos?
Germany, France, and a few others.

Now germany has promised taurus missiles to ukraine. And the candidate who promised
them has won election (somehow) after losing the initial vote. What a turn around.

But conspiracies aside, an annihilating war between india and pakistan would be
a great way to force india to choose a side (they've been waffling a lot, esp. with
respect to brics). A lot like turkey actually, but I digress.

The war has now expanded from kashmir to punjab. Arguably it was a fly over, but
then if fighting is happening in that region, it is a lot more than a fly over on
the way to kashmir.

They say they're striking terrorists, which is a reasonable, perhaps even honest, statement.
Assuming thats who they actually hit.

Pakistan claims otherwise.

And all of this out of the blue over a terrorist attack no one is claiming responsibility for.
Terrorists don't typically refuse to take responsibility for their attacks. Usually
attacks are explicitly about making a message heard by as many people as possible.
Two reasons for that: the people authorities claim did it aren't actually responsible,
or they did in fact do it, but under coercion or as mercenary work for another group or nation.

Chatter came out right after the attack in india that pakistani terrorist groups (sponsored by the pakistani government or not) have, along with the government of pakistan, worked as
mercenaries for western intelligence for some time, if only reluctantly (though how reluctant or enthusiastic about it is anyone's guess).

Were they responsible, and the pakistani government is disclaiming responsibility first we have to conclude that of course pakistan is going to claim they're not responsible.
But second, if pakistan was ordered to do it on behest of another power, say russia, china, or the u.s. it would explain the chatter. And if not responsible why would the pakistani government not be vigorously going after the groups responsible?
And thats the big tell.

Face-saving not-withstanding, if they were innocent, they'd be looking to be proactive to prevent war.

And if india weren't involved in a provocation they would have commenced with strikes against the terror groups rather than going the round-about way by cutting off strategic water supplies first.

Thats arguably something you might do to pressure a government to go after terrorists,
which pakistan wasn't doing, but its not the FIRST thing you do, as a matter of policy, especially before diplomacy, especially if you enter the crises with good-faith or good intentions, which as far as diplomacy goes, goes without saying--good faith being required at minimum on a surface level.

But they didn't because they had no intention of entering with good faith.

Which would explain why pakistan didn't go after the terrorists, or if they did, the western media didn't publish as much: Precisely because the pakistani government was blindsided and couldn't definitely determine which group was responsible. Which explains why no group claimed responsibility. Because none of the groups in pakistan were responsible.
And how do we know this?

Because if it was a non-pakistani intelligence operation, the operation would have tried to claim it was a pakistani group as cover. Which tells me most of the terror groups in pakistan are
either heavily monitored and/or well-known and tightly coupled to pakistani intelligence.

Which means by implication any outside party committing an attack in india wouldn't be
able to easily claim the attack was committed by a pakistani-sponsored terror group.
They'd be found out too quickly and the conflict would be resolved before it began between india and pakistan.

Hence no pakistani terror group claiming responsibility.
Hence why india escalated quickly past strictly diplomatic measures to strategic water supply cutoffs, which is a move, taken in context, thats way too fast considering they didn't have all the facts.

Which means they entered it with that outcome in mind.

So now we know the players and who intended what, but not why. So theres either elections, politics, or money involved somewhere, and the government of pakistan is in the dark.

But you know who isn't in the dark? India.

If I was a gambling man I'd be looking at the odd pick of JD Vance, with his indian wife,
and how perfectly these events line up with that VP pick in hindsight, especially in relation to the isolation of china, but thats just one interpretation, and by all means, not the only thread.

A simple step by step model of how everything will gradually turn to shit without the (lawful) acceleration of global social, economic, and political destabilization:

1. As the nations of the world grow into larger economic blocs
2. They will begin to integrate demographically
3. Demographic integration creates feedback loops of distrust
4. This increases crime, particularly gang violence, terrorism, and inter-religious and inter-racial crime
5. In order to stabilize this scenario governments are forced to create an ever-tightening police state
6. This create a backlash
7. The cost of policing grows to the point where rights have to gradually be restricted, either wholesale
or over decades
8. To cope with the backlash of that, they invest in technologies that make it vastly cheaper and
more cost effective to strip people of their rights
9. Companies exploit this, creating and increasing the intensity of an industry that now
has an incentive to create poverty and inter-group hostility, in order to justify its continuing and
growing existence.
10. Executives who fight against this are ostracized by a media that benefits from the corporate sponsorship
of the 'domestic defense and intelligence' (police state) sector. They are cast as choosing a side.
11. Some executives at various levels high and low are affected by the social instability and crime.
12. They try to push through reforms.
13. Reforms fail because most executives and representatives can be bought, cowed, blackmailed or bribed.
14. As a substitute, to prevent further attempts at repair, a two-tier system is gradually implemented,
where those in power are increasingly insulated from the outcome of their own decisions.
15. Graft and averice increases as the prospect of retribution or any sort of consequences is locked-out
by manpower, technology, and surveillance.
16. Eventually these same industries are used to create a mutually self-reinforcing net of insiders, an
insiders club, aggregating into ever-larger corporations or conglamorates, using both technology,
and politics, to first disadvantage, then weaken, then destroy and/or buy up smaller competitors.
17. Eventually major corporations have more power than the government. Whole sale separation
of the classes occurs through the forcing-affect of the one-sided advantages, until most of society
lives on welfare in (increasingly abject) poverty, completely overpowered by security forces.
18. Given enough time die-offs do occur as economic upsets take what little is left
for the marginalized, in favor of repeated small-margin gains to big players.
See what happened to the indians for reference. Now apply that to entire nations.
19. Eventually surveillance, security force automation, and predictive intelligence become
so advanced that the birth rate of the destitute 90% collapse, and childless men and
sundry other demographics turn to revolts.
20. Because the judicial system is first captured, and then over decades, subverted, and then
privatized 'to save costs' (because crime has at this point become so out of control due
to overwhelming forcing-factors like mass poverty), this simply leads to mass killings
by security forces, which are sanitized by a fully owned press, and sanctioned by the judicial.
21. Eventually, insulated from oversight, the corporations, and the mere pretense of government
that remains, engage in ever-tightening loops of arms research.
22. This leads to biological, chemical, nuclear, or AI based weapons that can't be controlled
23. Something goes wrong sooner or later. Some isolated nation or major power pushed
into a corner is forced into desperate measures.
24. Those dooms-day weapons are released.
25. Humanity dies to its own devices.
