🇺🇸🇪🇺🇺🇦US Prepares Europe Next for its Woodchipper of Proxy War with Russia
WSJ reports, "Europe Is Starting to Think Putin Will Expand the War Beyond Ukraine."
It claims that Russia is "stuck" on the battlefield.
But if Russia is already "stuck" in Ukraine, why would it want an even bigger war?
In reality, the US has been preparing Europe to be fed next into its proxy war with Russia all along.
The US openly announced in February 2025 via Sec. Hegseth in Brussels, Europe would spend more on arms, invest more in Ukraine, and prepare troops to eventually go into Ukraine.
Russia certainly knows this and explains the loud, serious warnings Moscow has been making following the escalating provocations the US-EU are using to expand the war in this direction..
The Ukrainian military has assassinated Alexander Yakovlev, chief engineer at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant. They hit his car with a drone. His driver was also killed.
BREAKING: Iran sent a private message to JD Vance during Switzerland talks, warning that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were "abusing" negotiations — more interested in profiting from insider knowledge than reaching a deal, per Drop Site News.
Iran calculated $9 billion in profits from market manipulation by "individuals close to Trump" — and formally requested $4.5 billion of that sum be allocated to Iran through intermediaries. The Iranian official added: "The exchanged texts will ultimately become part of the historical record."
Iran also raised concerns that Kushner and Witkoff "talk almost every day to Netanyahu" and the Mossad chief — feeding Israeli intelligence with inside information from the negotiations.
The Trump administration denies the claims. Iran says the evidence will be made public. If confirmed, this is one of the most significant financial scandals in modern diplomacy.
More proof Al-Qaeda/ISIS are US assets.
Tump makes it clear he controls (previously Al-Qaeda affiliated)
Al-Sharaa
Q: "You mentioned when we spoke on the phone, during the war, that Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa may be tasked with dealing with Hezbollah?"
Trump: "He would go in [into Lebanon] and take care of Hezbollah and he would do it in a different way. He wouldn't knock down buildings. I hated to see buildings knocked down.
Q: Are you saying he would be more precise than the Israelis.
Trump: "I think he would be more precise, yeah, and I can tell you I know he would like to do it."
Q: "Does he need the green light from you?"
Trump: "Aah, I'm thinking about it."

Iran attacks US Navy in Bahrain
Local residents awaken to thunderous explosions as 10+ blasts rock areas near the US Navy's 5th Fleet HQ.
Iran has the ability to strike US assets in Bahrain and Kuwait. Each time Trump attacks, they attack back.
Unless Trump signs a new ceasefire agreement all US installations in the Middle East will eventually be rubble.
@MyLordBebo It took Japan 10 years to start production of patriots, and this was during very favourable conditions.
It’s pure fantasy what Zelensky claims.
#Iraq / #USA 🇮🇶🇺🇸: “Harakat al-Nujaba” released a video titled:
“Thousands of young men and FPV drones are poised to carry out operations against U.S occupation bases.”
Group shows at least one FPV Kamikaze Drone which seems to be carrying a 60mm HE60 MA pattern mortar bomb.
Statement by Defending Rights and Dissent @RightsDissent on my interrogation, the seizure of my devices, and political harassment by the Trump admin:
“It is notable that while Max Blumenthal was not the only U.S. journalist in Iran to cover Khamenei’s funeral, he is reportedly the only one to face harassment on his way home. This indicates that Blumenthal was potentially singled out due to the content of his reporting, which has been highly critical of U.S. foreign policy, or due to an extended campaign against him led by pro-Israel McCarthyites. This is unacceptable and must be condemned in the strongest personal terms.”

This tweet is breathtaking in its weasel-wording, disingenuous bullshit @JasonClareMP
You belong to a government that's hunted and haunted your fellow Australians speaking out against Israel, censoring any and all ideological speech and smearing thousands of good people with your false 'antisemitism' labels.
Your government is responsible for the greatest witch-hunt upon the Australian people in living memory, allowing your own taxpayer funded envoy, Jillian Segal and her cohort of paranoid, mendacious Israel lobbyists, to eradicate free speech, and have artists, academics, journalists, and ordinary Australian people living in fear for their jobs and their physical safety.
Your government’s single-minded zeal to elevate the interests of the Israel lobby above any other Australian’s rights has ironically emboldened racism, created greater resentment against Jewish people and destroyed social cohesion. Yet instead of using the words your government has bludgeoned us with for 3 years now - Israel and antisemitism - now you're suddenly shrinking from the very the words you’ve been holding above Australian’s heads for so long by replacing them with the word ‘racism’ - and you think nobody will notice?
It's too late to change the words now. It's too late to try to slither into an entirely different agenda now and pretend nobody will see it.
You’ve supported a coordinated campaign of fear and censorship against your own people and yet here you are, twisting yourself into knots by pretending that somehow - all of this - all of these millions of dollars and resources and lives that have been spent hunting Australians on behalf of the Israeli government - somehow my fellow Australians, somehow this year’s long witch-hunt is now just about 'racism'.
If it was all about racism, where is our Anti-Racism Envoy? Where is our Royal Commission Into Racism? Where are our anti-racism laws? Where are the anti-racism check cards against the universities and the arts and everything else? "Yes, despite us incessantly and obviously elevating the Israel lobby above any other Australian, it’s really just been about ‘racism’ all along."
It’s not. None of it is. It’s about protecting the interests of a foreign nation, Israel, while you bow to the USA’s demands. You know it. The Australian people know it. At least have the decency to own up to that.

The Pentagon falsely denied that US soldiers were killed in the Iranian strike on the base in Kuwait. Here they are. They belonged to the 103rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command. Detail here: https://t.co/mzAjTYP5TB
Another round of war will not fundamentally change realities on the ground. Trump, in particular, does not have time on his side when taking into account both economic and political realities, writes @tparsi:

By order of the increasingly despotic @Keir_Starmer regime, it's now punishable by upto 14 years in prison to "express a positive opinion" about Iran's IRGC. Meanwhile you can continue to freely advocate for genocidal Zionism and "IDF" terror in Britain https://t.co/gt9GFLKMzS
BREAKING NEWS: Trump finally admits that he used nuclear weapons against Iran. This is an official admission.
I don't want to hear another word from the collective of ret*rds claiming every single nuclear explosion is a depot explosion or a thremobarbaric bomb.
Ahvaz is 1000 kilometers away from the Strait. The only reason the US is hitting Ahvaz is that its ATACMS artillery in Kuwait can reach it from there.

I have written this before AND it holds today. A naval blockade is not "pressure", it is not a "measure", it is a silent declaration of war on another state, recognised as an act of war for centuries.
In 1962, Kennedy's own lawyers REFUSED to call the Cuba operation a blockade AND invented the word "quarantine" specifically to avoid declaring war on the Soviet Union.
Trump just posted the word in capitals AND branded it. Retweet and bookmark this because what I have been predicting for months just became reality.

Lifting this exact blockade was a core provision of the June 17 MOU.
Reinstating it is not a new policy, it is the agreement's own author dismantling his own signature, clause by clause, exactly as I said Trump would.
The MOU was a stalling instrument. It bought ± 60 days to walk exposed tonnage out of the operational theatre, to bleed oil prices down before the shock, AND to manage the market delicately per the “TAME” - Trump Always Manages Equities - doctrine.
My assessment stands that the extraction protected vessels whose ownership chains run uncomfortably close to the Trump administration's own circle, because sanctions exposure AND Iranian-force contact are risks a shadow fleet can carry but a stock-listed major CANNOT.

For weeks Washington condemned Iran's proposed “passage fees” as piracy.
Today Trump declared America "THE GUARDIAN OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT" AND priced the guardianship at 20% of all cargo VALUE. Read that carefully.
He did not defeat Iran's toll model.
He ADOPTED it, at a rate that dwarfs Tehran's proposed service fees.
The argument was never whether the strait gets tolled. It was WHO collects, and it cannot be Iran or Oman.

I spent years consulting in supply chain security with major shipping companies, so hear this from inside the industry.
“Duty of care” toward crews AND captains is taken with absolute seriousness, AND no captain sails a war zone because a president posts the word OPEN.
One drone into a control tower is one risk too many, insurance is repricing every 24 hours, AND the data proves it.
Kpler counted 14 vessels through the strait yesterday. HALF were Iranian. Declarations do not move ships. Risk does.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆…
Two states are now tolling the same strait, blockading each other's commerce, AND striking each other's territory, while both insist the waterway is "open".
That is not a dispute over navigation.
That is a war over who owns the world's jugular, re-declared today in capital letters.
