I’ve been off for a week but a Monday is a Monday and noticing must be had so…
#DidYouNotice how recently Arsenal often look worse when they’re winning games?
#DidYouNotice how recently Arsenal often look worse when they’re winning games?
There have been some good examples of this: the game against Man United where Arsenal looked relatively comfortable until they were 1-0 up at which point they immediately looked nervous; the 2-2 draw to Wolves when they gave up a two-goal lead.
But it also happened a little in this weekend’s game against Chelsea where going up 1-0 and then 2-1 both produced stretches where Arsenal looked less confident.
The crash of the Tanker maritime insurance market will force Gulf tanker escort operations.
Crashing maritime insurance was why 1988's "Operation Praying Mantis" happened.
The problem for China & the EU in 2026 is Gulf Oil no longer flows to the USA.

The USA is an energy exporting nation now and it doesn't need Gulf oil.
The idea that a huge price spike with the US Economy is actually something Pres. Trump can affect via EXPORT Tariffs.
If domestic suppliers can't make money selling abroad...they won't.

This will spike oil prices outside the USA, but forcing China to pay the world rate for oil is in the USA's interests.
A 2026's "Operation Praying Mantis" will require Chinese and European Navy's doing the escort duties without the US fleet.

In February, the Russian monthly net gains in Ukraine turned negative. Over the whole month, the Russians lost 37 km² of territory in Ukraine.
This is the first net loss since November of 2023, and the worst month for Russia in terms of territory since August of 2023.

This is mainly due to the Ukrainian counterattacks on the Southern Front, which managed to push the Russians out of 213 km² of territory.
Most of these Ukrainian gains were made around Hulijaipole where Russia lost 192 km².

Ukrainian forces have reached the village of Ternuvate and past the village of Verbove, but it's unclear wether or not they have managed to establish solid control.
Situation remains dynamic. Much of the area Russia has lost is currently remains in the grey zone.

1/ Russian commentators say that the success of Iranian drones – which are less sophisticated than their own – in hitting US and other targets in the Gulf shows that America and Europe have failed to prepare for the threat of Russian drone attacks. ⬇️

"After observing the Iran-US war for the third day, we came to the following conclusions:
The Americans, who were planting military bases around the enemy, were reckless in failing to provide closer cover for their own troops and allies."

Keir Starmer is now a Prime Minister without power.
He knows that the country has turned against him, but he sees one last opportunity to distract the public from his crimes.
Here’s the REAL reason Starmer “can’t decide” about joining a war against Iran:🧵

Last night, Keir Starmer announced that he would allow Donald Trump to use British military bases in his war on Iran.
Starmer sent jets to protect the Epstein class: war criminals in Washington DC + paedophiles in Tel Aviv.
Within the hour, RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus was attacked.

When Starmer visited Akrotiri in December 2024, he said: “We can’t tell the world what you’re doing here.”
For two years, Starmer used the base to gather intelligence for Israeli genocidaires.
Now, the “dead duck” Prime Minister is dragging us into a war on their behalf.

As the battle rages in Iran the strikes aren’t polling very high.
What causes this? Simple Thread:
Americans distrust everything after Afghanistan but most importantly, Iraq. That’s the lens they look at everything with.
Trump must show different and change things.

We know in October 2002 on the heels of 9/11 - Bush 2 convinced the world that Iraq had WMD’s - they did not.

If regular law looked like international law, legal scholars would claim an expertise without ever consulting a single bit of settled law. Opinionated people would constantly tell you that things people they don't like do are "illegal" without ever needing to point to a law, ...
..often in direct contradiction to the text of actual law. Courts would appoint permanent commissions of inquiry that only monitor Jews, and things that Jews do could be ruled illegal retroactively without anyone worrying about applying it to other people. Word play...
...would replace scholarship, judgment, and precedent. Any one who dissented from this would be seen as UP TO SOMETHING, silencing critique, and in the same category of humanity's worst criminals.
As I reported yesterday, if the current Iranian missile attack tempo is maintained, coalition defensive interceptor stocks will only last another 4-5 days.
Even shipments from Japan, which also manufactures PAC-3 MSE interceptors, and diversions from European systems would only provide a few additional days of coverage.
This exact same measure has already been repeated multiple times to replenish Ukrainian stocks, and production/reallocation rates simply cannot keep pace with sustained high-volume consumption.
Systems like THAAD and Arrow have no meaningful near-term replenishment pipeline, but remain vital for increasing interception probabilities against Iranian hypersonic and heavy ballistic missiles, particularly the more challenging ones such as the Fattah, Emad, Shahab-3, Sejjil and Kheibar.
The coalition continues to conduct heavy bombardment strikes on Iran throughout this afternoon, but the persistent concern over dwindling defensive munitions stocks remains critical and unresolved.

With the shortage of interceptors, the US was forced to choose its priorities and concentrated them on Israel, leaving the Gulf countries with few batteries.
I have a point about this. The Gulf countries need to take care of their own defense since for the US it would be impossible to maintain. The security of bases so close to Iran. There are no interceptors for everyone and this is not going to change.

Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene et al knew Iran attempted to assassinate President Trump twice. In truth, they showed they do not support or care about him or his MAGA American First agenda which includes peace through strength.

Naples Underground (Napoli Sotterranea)

And no, it’s not just the IRGC; their proxies (like Hezbollah), other groups like the Islamic State, al-Qaeda and their proxies (like Lashkar-e-Taiba) are also on our soil.
