Once more, I thank any new followers of mine for thinking my thought in any way important enough to offer a passing thought on your timelines.

Currently, we are focusing on events on the Russo-Ukrainian War, but do note that at times I do interact with +18 accounts. Be warned!

Still baffled that Elon was able to sucker so many people into valuing his corporations at a trillion dollars when he’s fundamentally just using 1960s technology that NASA already mastered for cheaper.

They were very effective at their true purpose which was wasting counterparties’ time and setting up for a rug pull with more aggression.

Christopher Nolan on AI:

“I’ve never seen a more rapid wholesale dismissal of a supposedly foundational jump in technology in my lifetime. So much energy has been expended on bringing in AI, but if you look at that generation’s reaction, they’re utterly rejecting it. [My children’s] judgment of AI slop has been immediate and harsh. They see it for what it is very quickly – and it’s much easier for them to identify it, because it grew out of an online world they know really well. And while that doesn’t mean that every aspect of the technology is useless or meaningless, in film-making it’s hitting at exactly the wrong time. After years of driving towards heavily virtual environments, we’re seeing a renewed interest in more tactile, more real forms of storytelling.”

There’s a huge difference between bombing a factory because it makes weapon and bombing a factory because it pays tax revenue to the government. The latter is US Treasury sanctions logic applied to deadly weapons.

May the past few months have been kind to all!

Work has retained me for quite some while, and I've had to pull double-duty for some time, but I'll be making some more consistent presence herein soon.

May the weekend prove a pleasant one, friends!

It still was a blockade, given that US sanctions regimes are / can be quite deadly things, but it is far crueler now, true.

[Andrés Pertierra @ASPertierra]

Listen man, you can’t turn away literally every fuel ship but one since January and still say it’s not a siege

For decades the embargo was called a “blockade” despite just being a heavy sanctions regime. Trump era policy has made it an *actual* blockade

IRGC statement:

- The US attacked Qeshm Island
- In response, Iran has carried out "precise and intensive missile strikes" on US bases in Kuwait
- Further US aggression will be met with a "seismic, crushing, and decisive response"

I don’t get it, Axios repeatedly assured me that a peace deal was close with Iran

[🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿John Wakefield🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @JohnWakefieId]

"So, next time Trump calls you up, agree to a deal."

"Got it, Trump calls me, negotiate, bomb Kuwait."

"No! No! NO! Agree to the deal!"

"Ah, now I see. Take the call from Trump, hammer out an agreement, and then bomb Kuwait."

[🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿John Wakefield🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @JohnWakefieId]

Nope. Wrong. Not possible. Read Barak Ravid's latest scoop.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

BREAKING!
Iran just struck US targets in Kuwait after the US struck Qeshm today. Also, alarms just went off in Bahrain, seems Iran is striking there too.

Iranian source tells me Iran has stopped playing the tit-for-tat game. Instead, it's now striking back "at least 1.5x as hard" for every attack the US against Iran.

🚨 IRGC Launches Missile Strikes on U.S. Bases in Kuwait; Explosions Also Reported in Bahrain and Iraq

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has claimed responsibility for missile strikes on U.S. military bases in Kuwait, saying the attacks were retaliation for an American strike on Qeshm Island, a strategically located island in the Strait of Hormuz.

▪️ Kuwait’s defense ministry confirmed it is under attack from drones and missiles; Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB said strikes hit both Camp Arifjan and Ali Al-Salem Airbase in at least two waves

▪️ Eight explosions reported in Bahrain, which is also under attack, according to various monitoring accounts

▪️ Explosions were reported near the village of Masan on the southern coast of Qeshm Island, Fars news reported

▪️ Iran also appears to be heavily striking Iranian-Kurdish opposition groups near Erbil in northern Iraq

▪️ Earlier, CENTCOM said U.S. forces fired a Hellfire missile into the engine room of a Botswana-flagged commercial tanker, the M/T Lexie, after its crew ignored warnings while attempting to reach Iran’s Kharg Island.

CENTCOM says it has now disabled six commercial vessels and redirected 122 since imposing a naval blockade of Iranian ports on April 13.

The IRGC warned: “The time of ‘strike and run’ has passed,” adding that any further aggression “will be met with a seismic, decisive, and crushing response.”

[Woofers @NotWoofers]

Part of the reason that the Israelis are now pushing past the Yellow Line is that Hezbollah’s FPV strikes against the Iron Dome risk opening up gaps in Israel’s air defenses. This would create opportunities for rocket barrages to get through.
