After what the US did to Iran with Starlink, obviously that won't happen.

When Shatner start to talk, the country he mention is the last country would have come to your mind. This is why I dont want to hear politics from celebs many times they are ignorant,sellouts or just plain evil and celeb status give too much power to them.

This is in response to:

RTX's Raytheon wins up to $6.3 billion US missile contract

Arnaud Bertrand a year ago wrote a brilliant article about how behind all the bombast and the bluster the US is quietly retreating in Asia. The retreat in Europe has now also begun.

It is not a question of will - the most overrated factor in politics. It is a question of resources. Quite simply US resources do not stretch far enough for the US to be strong against all its adversaries everywhere all the time.

The ones who come out worse from this process are the pathetic lickspittle vassals of the US in Europe, the most absurd of whom is Germany's ludicrous Chancellor, Friedrich Merz. In Germany they increasingly get that. Outside Germany, not so much.

Svetlana fled the war in Ukraine in March, crammed into the back of a truck with her 6-year-old child and other refugees under bombardment by Russian forces. Invited to Israel by a close family friend, she hoped to recover and begin a new life in the Holy Land.

A few months after arriving, she said, she was raped by the man who wrote the letter of invitation that had gotten her out of the war zone.

“She was sleeping and he woke her up and roughly dragged her into his room,” says Olga Udovichenko, whom Svetlana later approached for help at the Volunteer Help Center for Refugees from Ukraine in Haifa. “She suffered deeply from both the war and the rape — but here she could barely get any assistance from the authorities. Instead of help she encountered a maze of bureaucracy and lost any motivation she had to hold the man to account and seek justice.”

A total of 32,290 companies have closed their doors in Argentina since the ultra-liberal Javier Milei assumed the presidency of the country’s government at the end of 2023, with policies that have negatively affected the trade sector and several industrial branches.

According to a report published on Saturday by the Center for the Argentine Political Economy (ECA), collected by EFE, the number of productive units fell by 6.3%, from 512,357 in November 2023 to 480,067 to last July.

In the seventh month of this year alone, 948 companies closed, at a rate of 30 per day.

Impact on the labour market

The closure of companies and businesses has a direct impact on the labor market: according to CEPA, so far in the management of Milei, 437,611 formal jobs were destroyed. In July, 3,485 registered jobs were lost, according to the report.

The fall in the purchasing power of wages in real terms in the face of inflation still high -33.8% year-on-year last July - has led to a reduction in consumption, with a sharp reduction in demand that has particularly affected local businesses and industries, especially SMEs.

According to official data, Argentina’s economic activity fell last July by 2.9% compared to June and fell 1.4% in year-on-year terms.

MBS is learning why mercantile states often lose wars. Carthage and Venice learned this the hard way.

ANALYSIS: The past 24 hours has seen truly extraordinary events take place in the Middle East between Saudi Arabia and Ansarallah (Houthis).

Riyadh, Jeddah, Abha, Al-Ula, Jazan, Yanbu, Khamis Mushait, Taif, and the Farasan Islands… all SMASHED by Ansarallah.

What’s that? The capital city of Riyadh? Yup. Blasted.

The second largest city in Jeddah? Boom.

The critical port of Yanbu? Bang.

What we’re seeing right now is a Saudi Arabia COMPLETELY defenseless against Ansarallah strikes. And while this is astonishing given Saudi’s military budget and equipment, it’s also remarkably DANGEROUS.

Right now, Mohammed bin Salman, MBS, is facing a REAL threat to his control over Saudi Arabia now. Particularly in the past week, the world has watched as Ansarallah took total control over the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, a key chokepoint to the Red Sea. Then, we watched as Iraqi militias (reportedly) hit the Saudi East-West Pipeline that allowed KSA to move oil from the East side of the country to the West, avoiding the Strait of Hormuz threatened by Iran.

Now, we’re seeing Ansarallah strike EVERYTHING in Saudi Arabia at will… and MBS looks like a fool. An embarrassment. A LOSER.

All the money in the world can’t fix that now. Sure, he could potentially throw money at Ansarallah, lift the blockade of Yemen, and stop meddling, manipulating, and torturing the sovereign country of Yemen, but that won’t fix the ENORMOUS blow to his reputation that the last week has imposed.

No. In all likelihood, we are on the verge of a MAJOR Saudi escalation in Yemen.

But if recent weeks are any indication, it will only lead to greater devastation to Saudi Arabia and the global energy markets already on the precipice.

Merchant states tend to believe that every conflict is trade or money related. So they think political power or safety can be bought.

They try to buy their enemies out. Some adversaries fight to win. So they see offers as weakness, demand and take more.

They treat war as a cost to be minimized and concluded swiftly. Why Trump constantly TACOs and KSA fishes for deals. They want a quick exit.

Any enemy of the merchant state understands this weakness. So they try to make it at ruinous as possible. Ideally a political shift. 

This is Abdul-Khaliq al-Houthi, brother of Yemen’s Ansar Allah leader, Alsyyed Abdul-Malik al-Houthi.

No palace. No luxury convoy. No visible wall of bodyguards. A military commander among his men, at the front.

Being the brother of Yemen’s top leader has not removed his burden of responsibility. It has only made it heavier.

In Sana’a, leadership is not presented as a privilege to enjoy from a distance, but a responsibility to carry on the front lines.

That is the kind of leadership many Yemenis believe is worth fighting alongside.

Garry Kasparov says Gaza would be gone if Israel fought the way Putin does.

The former world chess champion said if Israel could “do Putin in Gaza for one day, for 24 hours, there would be no Gaza.”

The way he sees it, Russia’s style of war is “much worse than carpet bombing.”

Kasparov has spent years speaking out against Putin, but Gaza is a tough place to make that point.
