Riyadh | Peace & War

The art of war is the art of peace;
Therefore, the security of civilization assured by the cooperation of both;
However, War: A by-product of the arts of peace.

When I designed this name, I knew that peace would be brought by war and that would be the title of the future news bulletins, and here we are, hearing it every day.

We have reached the bottom at $72, which is a rebound zone that will not be broken.

I do not like the school of guessing both directions — “if it breaks” & “if it rebounds.” That is meaningless.

Just as I identified the top at $125, I am now identifying the bottom clearly $72.

The United States is currently conducting the largest logistical operation in its history - a statistical analysis.

This 30-second video shows the American logistical air activity in West Asia over the past seven days only (accelerated by 20,000 times). At the same time, this activity continues around the clock for 76 days.

We are talking about the largest aerial supply operation in American military history, which exceeds the scale of the 2003 Iraq War. This level of cargo transport far surpasses routine supply replenishment.

All American strategic warehouses in the region are almost fully stocked and continue to reach their maximum capacity.

The US military is not spending billions of dollars on empty threats or show-off maneuvers. All of this indicates readiness for a preemptive strike and possibly the start of a ground operation.

US aircraft struck ten targets in Iran--military installations, comms and radar equipment, and drone storage, per reporting--following another Iranian attack on shipping.

Iran is currently retaliating against US bases in Bahrain and Kuwait.

Traffic in Hormuz has dipped in light of the violence.

Existing orders will begin replacing the 1,000+ Tomahawk missiles expended during the Iran War, but will not be enough to fully restore inventories to prewar levels.

MOSCOW, May 20 (Reuters) - Russia's Defence Ministry said on Wednesday that its forces had delivered nuclear warheads to mobile Iskander-M launch systems, loaded them, and rehearsed moving them undetected to launch sites as part of a major nuclear exercise.

[The Washington Post @washingtonpost]

Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures across bases or sites used by the U.S. military since the war began, hitting hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft, and key radar, communications and air defense equipment, according to a Post analysis of satellite imagery.

The amount of destruction is far larger than what has been acknowledged by the U.S. government or previously reported.

For this examination, The Post reviewed more than 100 high-resolution Iranian-released satellite images. The Post verified the authenticity of 109 of those images by comparing them with lower-resolution imagery from the European Union’s satellite system, Copernicus, as well as high-resolution images from Planet, a major U.S. commercial provider, when available.

A military spokesperson disputed the characterization of base damage by experts as extensive or evidence of failures, saying assessments of destruction are complex and can be misleading in some cases, but declined to provide specifics.

Gates laughs at how Netanyahu tried to convince him to bomb Iran.

His implication, of course, is that Trump and Hegseth have been fools to take Netanyahu seriously.

What has happened to our foreign policy establishment?

[Lyle Morris @LyleJMorris]

Secretary Hegseth was seen speaking with Chinese Defense Minister Dong Jun during the banquet event. Expect the two to meet tomorrow and discuss mil-mil.

Very rare for a U.S. SecDef to accompany POTUS during a high-level summit. In fact, it marks the first time a U.S. president has traveled to China with his defense secretary since Richard Nixon in 1972.

Reported Israeli intelligence estimates: Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal could have reached about 8,000 in 18 months and 11,000 in 2.5 years without intervention. Without severe restrictions on missile production, Iran can reconstitute (see severe and reasonable scenarios).
