Israel has used the 6-weeks pause to restock its arsenal - the USA having

supplied another few billion dollars worth of destructive weapons...

Amongst the latest re-stock is 1800 MK-84 2000 lb 'bunker/tunnel busting

bombs'... Gaza has already mostly been reduced to piles of rubble, so they

all wont be used to pummel Gaza even further... But there' still tunnels in

Southern Lebanon, and TARGETS in Syria (And Iran's underground tunnels)...

Having agreed to a pause so it could restock, today, now restocked,

Israel leaders have laid down the gauntlet to Hamas "No Second Stage. Period"...

Every time Israel bombed a Gaza hospital, school, university, refugee camp, it

claimed it was because the militant Palestinian Hamas were hiding there amongst

the refugees, etc... Today we're informed Israel bombed a site in Syria which Israel

claims was storing former Syrian Government's weapons... So do we expect an

Israel bombing spree in Syria claiming "former government weapons sites" as

its justification ?

Netanyahu, Smotrich & Ben Gvir are "opening the gates of hell".

I am taking them completely literally.

They are devout followers and active servants of that realm.

The US President cant unilaterally declare War...

The US President requires Congress' agreement to declare War...

NATO was created to allow the US President to 'work around' the

Constitutional requirement that Congress agree...

It's DELUSIONAL to think Trump will give up that 'work around' !

Just as DELUSIONAL is thinking Trump is All For Peace, or wants the

USA to retreat into isolation...

We live in Delusional Times, that's for sure...

Have you considered that you might have a Buddhist streak?

Yes, we live in a world of delusions. When did you first notice this?

So ! Let me get this right... White King sends a pawn to break open Black King's defences so White can rush through the breach and checkmate Black... But...

Black stopped White's pawn in its tracks, and some of White's other pieces now fear

they'll be wiped off the board by Black's counter-attack - (another delusion)...

WE ARE IN THE DELUSIONAL AGE (aka - Age Of Delusions):

White King has threatened its pawn "You must make peace with The Black King or i'll withdraw support, abandon you to your fate !"

This USNATO Proxy War requires USNATO, not their pawn' make "Peace" with Russia...

Here's another DELUSION: US will pull out of NATO... If it did, repeat, if it did, the EU/NATO would seek a European-wide Security Arrangement Putin-Russia has been

seeking for DECADES from USA ("One For All, And All For One" !)...

As if The USA would let that happen !!

But we live in a Delusional Age: It's not Trump that's Delusional, it's those who believe

Trump is playing '5D Chess'...

Risks for WW-3 are high and hard to quantify.

Did you read my strip-down of Andrew Korybko's piece?

Trump wants to do something bigger with Russia than Nixon/Kissinger did with China.

I am guardedly in agreement, because I am not a Trump mind-reader any more than I am a Putin mind-reader. It would be a very strong game-alignment against "London".

Netanyahu, Smotrich and Ben Gvir are different. They want to "open the gates to hell", just like they said.

There is no discreet London entity. The City of London banking center is not an independent geopolitical actor. It's just the secondary banking center to NY because it was the primary center before NY became the primary center. The banking system is global. Hence Globalism. And it's currently beginning to be restructured, by the globalist, back to a federation of semi-independent systems because the global center cannot hold because of energy collapse. All political theater that is drummed-up in service of this process is exactly that - theater. Krainer is controlled opposition sleeping with the enemy. People follow. People end up a decade behind in their thinking. Mission accomplished.

I wrote "London", because specifics are hard to come by and disputed.

Krainer has some self-control, but is not "controlled".

There is a lot of fog of war, but interests of old-money, represented by the "city of London" corporate entity, seem to really need WW-3 to sustain their "ownership".

I resist that path. They are not the solution going over "Seneca's Cliff".

The solution has not yet been composed, but will require honesty and cooperation.

It's a predicament for which there are no solutions, remember? Remember when that was the case for you before Superman dodged a flying bullet and God delivered him an election victory against all expectations? LOL.

Old money. London. Right, NY doesn't represent old money anymore because Trump. That makes no sense, John.

The honest and cooperative 'solution' (controlled demolition)has been composed. It' just a non-public composition. The public side is theater.

There are paths that are better and worse into and through any difficult time, which are "solutions" to those who survive.

Those who don't survive may have been in a predicament in some cases.

You are behaving as though you may survive by your adaptations, so you do not personally see a predicament.

Se things as you would like. No human perspective can be correct. All human perspectives are very limited and approximate, especially projecting into the future where the choices of others are concerned.

Resource depletion entails fewer human choices, so projections may track better.

"No human perspective can be correct." Now we're getting down to the core of you. Rashomon shit. Absolutist relativism lol. Get it? Absolutist relativism? Do you get it, John?

Yet you yourself believe things that you yourself don't believe to be correct. And you talk about them here publicly. And you disagree with things that you don't believe to be correct even though you don't believe that your disagreement is correct. That's the feigned intellectualism I talked about in the last thread. It's everything that Holden Caulfield despised in adults. Phoniness

I'm just trying to identify the good guys and the bad guys in this imbroglio.Seems there are plots within plots within other plots.Recently Capital Cosm hosted a discussion between Alex Krainer,Tom Luongo and Martin Armstrong that was extremely interesting and did not paint a pretty portrait of UK/NATO.

This has no relation to anything but decent weed and a stout, as I brave storms in north Texas and wait for the roofing contractors. Sigh... Life on the southern plains. More cowbell...
