The Nazi airline should be investigated for receiving illegal state aid during the scamdemic.
It won't be though.
 
That is the question. Someone has to cave to make a deal

A deal? With Trump and the israelis? How long would it be before they broke the deal? Within 8 hours of the Lebannon ceasefire, the Israelis were firing artillery on villages.

This whole thing is a staged spectacle. They want to keep it going, so they have an excuse to do a shutdown.

How do we stop them?
 
Looking like both sides have shot their bolt. Although the US has sent a lot of troops. The inition ceasefire has 3 days, we shall see
 

China Promises Nothing​

“I wish to put an end to rumors circulating online claiming that China has agreed with the United States not to provide arms to Iran. Let me be clear, no such communication has taken place. China has neither admitted supplying arms to Iran nor denied it. Our security agreements and defense cooperation are sovereign matters for China alone to consider.
No foreign country has the right to meddle in China’s internal affairs. Leaders around the world should weigh their words carefully before speaking.
China welcomes the decision by President Trump toward de-escalation and the opening of the Strait of Hormuz. We remain committed to world peace and to safeguard regional stability through dialogue.”
– Guo Jiakun, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, China
Translation: yes, we’re arming Iran. No, we won’t stop. Don’t try to cut off our oil or we’ll make sure you regret it.

There is the idea out there that Iran is all part of the trade war against China -

China received 5.35 million barrels per day through the Strait of Hormuz. That figure has now collapsed to approximately 1.22 million.

Donald may already be giving China a whooping.

Was watching a clip of Max Egan recently and he was wondering why the the Iranian had not hit the Israelis harder. Especially considering the decimation the Israelis were visiting on the Lebanon. He wasn't saying it clearly but was implying that Iranians were holding their punches against Israeli, especially in contrast with the pounding the Gulf States.

I presumed it was that the Israelis could escalate to nuclear if pushed too hard. I wonder now if there some other game going on.

Me too. Highly suspicious. During the Israeli attacks on Lebannon, the stupid Iranians were attacking the Gulf and central and southern Israel, while mostly ignoring northern Israel.

Trad Catholics believe that Islam is a golem religion created by the Jews.

One billion trad Catholics can't be wrong.

I am sure that there is more going on than meets the eye, and that is a major problem, there is very litte that does meet the eye, we know nothing of the damage being incurred by either side. For all we know both could be untouched and its all a big deception, a true Phoney war to bring about a result that we have no knowledge of.
 
It's been pointed out on David Blackmons substack that there is no single authority in Iran with which to negotiate. There is the supposedly democratically elected civilian government, the Ayatolla himself (if still alive) and the Revolutionary Guard which, it is said, is run by nutters and ideologues who don't answer to anyone but themselves. This accounts, it is suggested, for the mixed messages coming from the country and the indecision as to whether the straits are open or not.

It must all add to Trump's stress levels.
 
^^^^^^^^^

President Donald J Trump has been far too patient with theses Islamic Savages ! ! !

Time to give them the sort of Whooping that even Islamic Savages can understand ! ! !
 
Of course if the corrupt far left gowls in Brussels had listened and acted in the best interest of European citizens and didn't involve themselves in Biden and Johnston's proxy war against Russia we mightn't have the de-industrialisation of Europe.
Hopefully some adults are being elected now.

Dialogue with Russia ‘must be restored’ – Bulgarian election winner​

Rumen Radev, the leader of Progressive Bulgaria, has pushed for more “critical thinking and pragmatism” in EU foreign policy

The winner of the Bulgarian parliamentary election, Progressive Bulgaria’s Rumen Radev, has called for dialogue with Russia to be restored. The former president has led the newly formed left-leaning populist party to a landslide victory on a platform of critical dialogue with Brussels and pragmatism towards Moscow.

Speaking to reporters after the first exit polls showed his party well in the lead, the EU-skeptic Radev said Bulgaria would remain “on its European path,” but argued that Sofia and the bloc both need “more critical thinking” in foreign policy.

“Ask [French President Emmanuel] Macron, the prime minister of Belgium, ask other European leaders, including [German] Chancellor [Friedrich] Merz, who said that this dialogue [with Russia] must be restored,” Radev stated, stressing that engagement is necessary to shape Europe’s future security architecture and to halt its deindustrialization. “If we want Europe to have real strategic autonomy… Europe must think very seriously about how it will secure its resources, because without energy resources we cannot talk about competitiveness,” he added.

Radev argued that the bloc has undermined itself by pursuing moral leadership in what he described as a world without rules, and now needs more practical policies.

According to interim results, with 96.4% of ballots counted as of Monday morning, Radev’s Progressive Bulgaria has secured 44.7% of the vote, far ahead of former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov’s long-dominant GERB-SDS at 13.4%, with caretaker Prime Minister Andrey Gyurov’s PP-DB trailing at 12.9%.

To form a government, a party or coalition must win at least 121 seats in the 240-seat National Assembly. Preliminary projections suggest Progressive Bulgaria has already cleared that threshold with an estimated 131-134 seats, enough to govern without a coalition.
Radev described the result as a “victory of hope over mistrust,” saying his party had overcome voter apathy, but acknowledged that distrust in politicians remains. He said he will comment on government formation or possible coalition talks after the final results are announced.

The vote marks Bulgaria’s eighth election in five years. The country has been in a state of political dysfunction with unpopular caretaker governments since 2021, when Borissov resigned amid corruption scandals. Although Progressive Bulgaria was formed less than two months ago, Radev is a veteran political figure, having served as president from 2017 until stepping down in January to run for prime minister, pledging to break the deadlock and tackle corruption.

A vocal critic of the EU’s Ukraine policy, Radev has opposed Bulgaria’s embargo on Russian energy, blocked a 2022 plan to send armored vehicles to Ukraine, and argued that there is no military solution to the conflict.
 
From David Blackmon's energy substack again. Here he notes that renewables are just not going to cope with the demands of AI for energy going forward and it is China that is best placed to take advantage of this situation, however, he has noted in the past that China doesn't have that great a reserve of coal and will run out sooner than many realise. So how long that advantage will last is the obvious question.

Perhaps we should simply rethink our forecast reliance on AI.


BloombergNEF just dropped a reality check on AI's power needs: Gas and coal will fuel most new generation for data centers through 2035.

No green fairy dust here, just hard numbers on incremental generation required. CCGT and coal dominate the stacked bars, renewables and nuclear barely move the needle.

AI will run on natural gas and coal for the foreseeable future.

But here’s where the rubber meets the (slow-moving) regulatory road:

Where do all the CCGTs come from?

•Major manufacturers (GE Vernova, Siemens Energy, Mitsubishi) are booked solid with 4–5+ year backlogs. GE alone is at ~100 GW and growing; new orders are already slipping into 2029–2030.

•Data-center hyperscalers are paying non-refundable deposits years in advance just to hold a slot. Supply chain can’t scale fast enough.

Where does all that new coal generation come from?

•U.S. permitting and EPA rules have made new coal plants virtually impossible for over a decade.

•Strict emissions standards, carbon-capture mandates that don’t exist at scale, endless lawsuits, and local opposition = de facto moratorium. Retirements continue while new builds are DOA.

Can the U.S. compete with China in the AI race without a sea change in permitting & policy?

•China added the equivalent of the entire U.S. power grid in just four years, including massive new coal and gas capacity with lightning-fast approvals.

•Beijing’s “AI-Energy” strategy treats power as national security. America’s grid is aging, interconnection queues are years long, and bureaucracy is the real bottleneck.

•Without radical permitting reform, China is structurally positioned to pull ahead on the energy foundation that powers AI compute.
 
Looks like it is make or break.

Slightly off topic. Clarkey, this would a good case for you to research. Perhaps we can replicate it here?

Haven't got a link to hand, but there was case in Sweden a few years back. A Judaeo-Muslim taxi driver raped a Swedish girl. She got her friends together and they hatched a plan. They lured the darkie out to a forest area and they hung the bastard dead.

Through a legal loophole, they got away scot free. They admitted that they lured him out there, but each denied actually putting the noose around his neck. Under Swedish law that meant none of them were guilty.

And they all lived happily ever after.
