The Masters of the Universe asked Europe to commit suicide and it did.

I strongly doubt that the "Rule of the Jungle Law" will bend India.

They're asking them to scrap 60-70% of their defense equipment (bought from Russia) and buy "cutting edge" equipment that is 10X more expensive and 2-5X less performant in real world!!!

If you haven't been following closely the Yemen onslaught since 2015 this is what's happening.

1. McCain (I hope he already reincarnated in Yemen) asked Ben Salmane to attack Yemen. Help him build a coalition of the willing of dozens of Muslim countries.

2. The US, France, Germany, UK were going to do support work only. Training the "democratic forces-legitimate government!!" and providing fighter jets re-fueling.

3. It was supposed to be a 3 week cakewalk (does that sound familiar - Saddam's WMD-2003!!)

Why are they still bogged down in Yemen in 2022?

1. The most performant ABM systems in the world that Saudi Arabia bought from the US ($10-25Billion) turned out to be worse than toys. PAC2 and PAC3 patriots ABMs missiles ($1-$3 million each) where unable to shoot down Yemeni drones ($5000 each!!!)

2. In 2019 we saw Yemeni ballistic missiles stopping oil production in Saudi Arabia for 1 month!!

3. There is a ceasefire now because Yemen turned Saudi oil refinery in Jeddah into ashes with a single ballistic missile and the PAC systems were all blind!!! - 5million barrels of oil burnt.

All informed observers know that Saudia Arabia cannot win in Yemen after 7 years and after spending ~$400 billion. It's over and this is because NATO has been selling toys to the Gulf Monarchs to the tune of $120 billion per year for their security for decades. Now they know that it was a security bubble!!

Will India fall into that trap? I strongly doubt!

Yep I have followed the Yemen War but I am not particularly well informed about weapons. I had to laugh out loud at the idea of McCain reincarnating in Yemen.... ooh the justice!

The damned Saudi City of London obedience freaks have been trying to frack horizontally across the border to steal Yemen's oil but the Houthis got wind of it. Too many underpaid, overworked immigrant workers in Saudi businesses. Their security is a sieve.

US is nobody's master. The Saudis know who rules the world, they were put into power by them. The only people who believe that the US has an Empire are the Americans. The rest of the world sees a paper tiger who dances like the court jester.

This type of artifacts help identify geopolitical bifurcation points.

1. When the WH called the Clown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman Al Saud and the Clown Prince of the United Arab Emirates to talk about oil output increase, they refused to take the call. This would have been unthinkable before 2021.

2. The WH then sent a delegation to Venezuela to talk to a president that the entire NATO doesn't recognize because they need oil right now and their request was rejected.

Venezuela has been under sanctions for years now just because they refuse diktats from NATO.

3. Saudi Arabia had decided to sell its oil to China in Yuan - death of the petrodollar coming soon!

4. Russia is now pegging rubble to gold and will be accepting only rubles for energy and commodities transactions. They're back to 1946 - Bretton Woods I. Nixon killed it in 1971 and we've been living with Bretton Woods II (fiat currencies) .

The Bretton Woods III is knocking on the door and fiat currencies lovers are frightened.

The end of another empire is near!!!

beware of Soros... here in LA (and all over US) Soros backed District Attorney George Gascon is facing recall election (assuming the system isn’t already rigged) amid a destructive crime wave fanned by his soft on criminals, hard on victims policies.
