Krigsvinter

 

Donald Trump förråder Ukraina...igen. Får se hur länge det här håller. Under tiden bör Ukraina väldigt specifikt bomba ryska anläggningar som kan tillhandahålla diesel. Jag har talat.

Trumps besked chockade alla - mötet spårade ut

Experter: Inte säker att Putin kommer att leverera dieseln

Fred i vår tid

 

Har jag ju tyckt länge...

Nobelpriset är ett skämt: Lägg ner det - Sverige bör ta över ansvaret

Principles

 

Last year, the Norwegian peace prize committee "awarded the prize to Trump without awarding it to Trump" by giving it to Trump´s rather obvious ally Machado. But now, *the very same committee* (I checked) instead gave it (de facto) to the ICC, against which the Trump administration has imposed sanctions. This year´s peace prize will 100% be seen as anti-Israeli, anti-American and anti-Trump. 

Translation: the current Norwegian Nobel Committee are spineless bastards. They are probably banking on Trump becoming a lame duck after the midterms. But when the Don looked like the future Master of the World, the brave Norwegian Vikings chose to hand him the goodies. Or at least some crumbs.

Amazingly, it now looks as if Donald Trump is the winner in this ridiculous spat. He, after all, haven´t changed...

On the brink

The situation at the Horn of Africa is even more complex than I imagined. 

Note that Eritrea has switched sides in the Ethiopian conflict, from backing the government of Abyi Ahmed against the rebel TPLF to backing the rebels instead. Despite Eritrea´s reputation as a pseudo-Communist authoritarian regime, the United States recently lifted the sanctions against its ruling party, probably to lure the country into an alliance against the pro-Iranian Houthis in Yemen. 

The Saudis also back Eritrea, while Israel prefers Abyi, and so do the United Arab Emirates! All four are supposed to be US allies against Iran. And in neighboring Sudan, Saudi Arabia and the UAE are on opposite sides in the genocidal civil war...

I´m old enough to remember when the West supported Abyi Ahmed, even giving him the hotly coveted Nobel Peace Prize, but it seems the man may no longer be our prime "asset" in this part of the world. Who is? Does anyone know? Do we even *want* to know?  

Fighting in Ethiopia threatens renewed civil war, destabilising the Horn of Africa

Unable to consent

 

The British SWP on the suspected gang rape at Cornell University in the United States. What a pity the perps weren´t Hamas terrorists and the victim an Israeli woman. I mean, then the SWP could have supported the "widespread violence" in good conscience. While of course denying it ever happened. You know, a bit like the Cornell administration...

The hypocrisy of these people never ceases to amaze me. 

Cornell case exposes widespread violence at university campuses

Presume incompetence

 

I certainly hope this doesn´t turn out to be a "false flag" of some kind...

Flydubai hijacker previously banned from flying over radicalization concerns

Allah loves Israel

 

A propos the Flydubai incident...

Theodicy

 

Some Muslim influencers on-line apparently mock the victims of the recent Nepalese floods, claiming that this somehow disproves Hinduism and Buddhism, since their "idols" didn´t protect them against the disasters. Yet, *the very same Muslim accounts* ask for aid to the earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria, to the Palestinians in Gaza, and so on?! So where was Allah when all those Islamic believers were killed...

Unfortunately, the Hindu content-creator sounds "communalist" at the end of his video. Nor does he explain why Vishnu allowed the floods. Still, the bad theodicy (or bad faith?) of his opponents is glaring...

Foreknowledge

Wouldn´t be surprised if this was true. Compare 9/11. 

Netanyahu was warned of 7 October Hamas attacks, book claims

Den leende terroristen

 

Moderaterna säger sig vara oroliga för Vänsterpartiet i en eventuell regering. De vill även säkerhetspröva ministrar.

För regeringens tjänstemän säkerhetsprövas ju redan. Eller hur? Det här blir bara dummare och dummare. You can take it from me, jag är inte världens största fan av Vänsterpartiets utrikespolitiska odyséer...

Varnar för V - dras med SD

Jan Guillou påstår att Vänsterpartiet bevisligen är det minst anti-semitiska partiet i Sverige. Okej, men om V är det minst anti-semitiska partiet, hur i allsin dar ser det *mest* anti-semitiska partiet ut?! Alltså av de "etablerade" partierna.

Kramkalas

Kramkalaset mellan Åkesson och Mohamsson fortsätter. Fast okej, det är väl *lite* pikant med en nyssnasse och en palestinier som båda stödjer Israel, LOL. Nysspalestinier? Vilket dock inte var vad "debatten" handlade om (har inte orkat kolla upp den). 

Bisarr debatt mellan Åkesson och Mohamsson

Candle in the dark

 

A Catholic debunks an Orthodox miracle. Hmmm...

Decoy

 

The buzz right now...

Karoline Leavitt "left to die" by Trump

"Unlikely Leavitt was on decoy plane"

Bad jokes

 

- Yes, Korea is here somewhere! Never heard of Oman...

Marx said that world history always repeats itself twice: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce. Somebody has proposed burlesque as the third repetition. I´m not sure what stage Trump´s foreign policy has reached, but it´s certainly beyond farce at this point. 

Trump recently said that he will declare the Strait of Hormuz American territory. A few days later some spokesman of the Trump administration dismissed the statement as a joke?! Then, the erratic president threatened to "bomb the shit" out of Oman.

Another jocular remark, I suppose?

But perhaps Trump can still do something properly tragic, since he decided to scale down US involvement in a joint military exercise with South Korea, citing the ROK´s refusal to back his increasingly quixotic adventure in the Gulf. Instead, he bragged about having good relations with North Korea! The same North Korea which may be in the process of sending tens of thousands of fresh troops to aid the Russians in Ukraine.

It will be interesting to see if Trump´s end will be a tragedy, a farce or even a burlesque. Maybe the Don could at least give us one more performance? For old times sake.

Super-spreader event

 

Let´s hope this is just one of those "Monthly Doomer Report" scenarios. After all, invasive marine species are already spreading throughout the world due to our international shipping lanes.

And we´re still here, right? As is most of our seafood...

The return of the pink elephant

 

Alex Jones apparently wants to remove Trump by impeachment or the 25th amendment. Cuz Iran-Israel something something.

Oh.

For the record. Sorry for the self-referential title of this blog post!

The Mecca-Medina conflict

 

Styx is experiencing some turbulence right now, but the latest rumor takes the prize. Apparently, some people somewhere claim that he is a Muslim or is becoming one. Eh? The reason seems to be that he wants to end Trump´s war with Iran. So presumably Styx is now a Twelver Shia Muslim, then. As opposed to a Christian Protestant Nationalist? Or what? 

He seems to be an occultic libertarian. As he has been for the past two decades or so. 

And btw, I´m aware of the "Mecca-Medina conflict" and have read the Tibetan Book of the Dead. There!

True conspiracy?

There is an interesting conspiracy theory that *Israel* is behind the recent storming of Ceuta, presumably in collusion with Morocco. The reason? Spain is currently anti-Israeli. Morocco, on the other hand, has signed the Abraham Accords, which are also a key part of Trump´s foreign policy. And some pro-Israeli / pro-Trump outfit in the US actually called on the POTUS to recognize Morocco´s territorial claims on Ceuta and Melilla.

Personally, I think this was really triggered by Morocco´s perennial conflict with Algeria (Spain is "pro-Algerian"). Still, it will be interesting to see if the anti-Zionist portions of the mainstream media will acknowledge this conspiracy theory. After all, it collides with their present narrative, which is that the Moroccan incursion into the Spanish exclave is a genuine refugee crisis...

Ireland stands with Israel

 

A propos something...

Weirdly, I was just thinking of Boy George (in an entirely different context) when his new song came up in my feed. Not sure what to call this. Synchronicity? Krishna miracle? Hasbara, perhaps?
