Les Russes sont à 6 km dé Kramatorsk. Le gouvernement ukrainien vient d’imploser avec des limogeages en cascade, Première ministre, ministre de la défense et déballage en public des critiques contre Syrsky le CEMA ukrainien. Les scènes atroces de recrutement forcés sont toujours là, mais les médias français ferment le yeux et préfèrent nous servir les prouesses des drones bon marché dont les deux camps maîtrisent parfaitement la technique.

Journalisme ? Non, naufragé et propagande…

Indiens Premier Minister Modi appeliert an die Nation, die Auswirkungen des Krieges zu milden: (am Ende geht es in Wahrheit um den Dollar)

- Diesel & Benzin sparen (Indien importiert etwa 90% seines Öl Bedarfs)

- Auslandsreisen vermeiden

- Auf den Import ausländischer Produkte verzichten (schwächt ebenfalls die Devisenreserven des Landes)

- Ein Jahr kein Gold kaufen

Gerade die Aussage zu Gold ist sehr spannend, wortwörtlich sagte er:

„Goldkäufe verbrauchen große Mengen an Devisen. Im nationalen Interesse sollten wir uns für ein Jahr vornehmen, kein Gold zu kaufen – egal bei welchem Anlass.“

💡 Am Ende geht es nur um den Dollar. Indien besitzt etwa Dollar Reserven in Höhe von 700 Milliarden. Das reicht im Normalfall für etwa 9-11 Monate.

Öl, Gold und Co. werden in Dollar gehandelt. Indien kann es sich in der jetztigen Situation schlichtweg nicht leisten, zuviele Dollars zu verlieren.

Bin mir aber sicher, die USA sind bereit Liquidität bereit zu stellen, wenn Indien an anderer Stelle entgegen kommt.

For the record.

Iran’s Historic Mistake

Carl von Clausewitz wrote that war is “the continuation of politics by other means.” President Trump grasped this from the start: Operation Epic Fury exists to stop Iran’s nuclear march and restore deterrence, not to pursue the familiar neocon fantasy of occupation and nation-building. Epic Fury is peace through strength in action: credible force applied decisively when adversaries mistake restraint for weakness.

By weaponizing the Strait of Hormuz, Iran committed a strategic blunder of historic proportions.
Tehran meant to punish America. Instead, it exposed every power built on imported energy, vulnerable sea lanes, and the delusion that globalization repealed geography. China is exposed. Europe is exposed. Britain is exposed. Iran has created a world where hard resource power decides outcomes.

Start with China. Beijing’s industrial machine depends on imported oil and gas moving through vulnerable maritime chokepoints, the old Malacca dilemma in modern form. A great power reliant on long, exposed sea lines cannot be secure, regardless of economic scale. The Hormuz shock forced China to scramble for alternatives, proving that size is not resilience.

Europe and Britain face the same problem. After escaping Russian dependency, they traded one vulnerability for another, leaning on imported LNG and maritime flows exposed to coercion. When chokepoints tighten, they absorb shocks rather than project strength. European criticism says less about American failure than about discomfort with a world where hard power still matters.

Iran’s mistake is that once Hormuz becomes structurally unreliable, the world builds around it. That means bypass corridors, revived pipeline politics, and urgent planning for routes linking Aqaba to Mediterranean outlets near Gaza and the long-stalled Basra-to-Aqaba pipeline. The old energy order is cracking. The UAE’s OPEC exit signals cartel discipline giving way to national advantage under pressure.

Trump deserves credit, not European scolding. Operation Epic Fury struck thousands of targets, degraded Iran’s offensive capabilities, and shattered assumptions that the West would absorb escalation without response. The administration acted while others lectured. It restored deterrence in the only language Tehran understands.

The larger lesson matters more. Secure natural-resource hard power is what the Western Hemisphere possesses in abundance. The United States, Canada, and the Americas command hydrocarbons, LNG, farmland, freshwater, critical minerals, and strategic depth on a scale import-dependent Europe and Asia cannot match. This crisis clarified, not weakened, the Americas structural position.

The financial dimension reinforces the point. Demand for Federal Reserve swap lines during crisis proves King Dollar remains supreme. When stress hits, governments run toward dollar liquidity, not away from it. Hard resource power and monetary power reinforce one another, and the United States sits at the center of both.

That is Epic Fury’s real significance. Clausewitz wrote that “the political view is the object, war is the means.” Trump understood that. Iran tried to weaponize geography, Trump turned the confrontation into a demonstration of who is exposed and who is not.

The Trump administration deserves far more praise than it has received, and history will likely judge that Iran’s greatest miscalculation was not merely closing Hormuz, but revealing which powers still command the real sources of strength.
