 larry johnson thinks europe will be having a cold winter;

 

Saudi Arabia went looking for allies against Ansar Allah, and so far it has gotten statements of support. Egypt has declared its readiness to back the Kingdom, but its statement does not commit to any military involvement. Pakistan and Turkey have pledged troops under the Mecca Joint Defense Agreement signed in August, but both governments say their forces will play “a supportive rather than active combat role” against the Houthis. I have watched coalition pledges like these for decades. Cairo has not forgotten its war in Yemen in the 1960s. Islamabad has its own border with Afghanistan and a restless India to think about. Neither is going to send its soldiers into the mountains of Saada, so Riyadh will be fighting this one essentially alone.

That matters because Ansar Allah has shown it can reach the Kingdom’s economic core. In the past two weeks the Houthis have struck at Aramco facilities near Riyadh, the Shedgum gas plant in the Ghawar corridor, and the Tanajib oil facility on the Gulf coast. They hit an administrative building at Aramco’s Dhahran headquarters, the company’s historic nerve center. Now they are reportedly targeting Yanbu.

Riyadh says little about the damage, and Aramco’s chief executive insists the company’s system is intact and can be restored to its full 12 million barrels a day within days. I don’t believe it. Karl Miller, who is on the ground in the region, tells me the Saudis have suffered significant damage. That matches what we can see from the outside: a coalition that keeps announcing interceptions while fires keep burning at the targets. Repairing gas-processing trains, stabilization units and refinery components is not a matter of days. After the 2019 Abqaiq-Khurais strike, Saudi output fell by 5.7 million barrels a day, and it took about two months to recover from a single attack on an undefended site. This time the attacks are sustained and repeated, and the repair crews are working under fire.............more..........

 is this the orange man you voted for? i didn't cause i don't vote for reasons stated in a previous post; 

 

President Trump on Sunday issued a strong endorsement of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for the upcoming October 27 Israeli elections and said that if Netanyahu lost, the US would have to “finish the job” against Iran without Israeli support.

“Bibi Netanyahu has been a Great Warrior Prime Minister, and an even greater Partner for Peace in combatting the Islamic Republic of Iran, with its 51 year old chant, ‘Death to Israel, Death to America! We will destroy the Little Satan and the Big Satan.’ What Country can survive when things such as this are allowed to be said, because eventually, they always end up being true?” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“It would have been only a question of time until Iran would have put that ominous phrase into effect, but they have been systematically destroyed, both Militarily and Financially, and unless they change their ways, rapidly, we will soon finish the job. If Israel has the wrong Leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so,” he added...........more..........

 the swiss have changed course from where they traditionally have been and now are actively engaged in euthanasia;

 

 Switzerland has introduced new laws that force all hospitals and care homes, including Christian facilities, in the canton of Zurich to begin euthanizing their patients.

Christian hospitals and care homes in Switzerland’s most populous canton have now lost their right to prohibit “assisted suicide” on their premises under the Swiss government’s newly approved mandate.

The new laws strip religious institutions of a choice they previously exercised.

The measure passed with 68.1% support in a September 27 referendum.

At least 30 Christian institutions that refuse to euthanize their patients will be affected.

Promoted as expanding “patient choice,” the requirement also removes another choice: the ability to select a facility that does not permit “assisted suicide.”

The mandate requires institutions to allow the practice on their premises, rather than requiring their own staff to administer lethal drugs.

However, the facilities will have no right to object to their patients being killed on their premises...........more............

 these bands of settlers are a plague upon the land released by those in charge, intentionally;

 

 The Committee to Protect Journalists is alarmed by the Friday Israeli settler attack on American journalist Heidi Levine, which wounded her while she was covering the olive harvest in Abu Fallah, near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

Speaking to CPJ from her hospital bed, Levine, who is a freelancer for the Washington Post and had bandages around her hand and leg, told CPJ that she was “attacked by a gang of masked settlers”.

“They pushed me to the ground and they were kicking me for, I think at least 10 minutes,” she added, confirming that she had identified herself to them as an American journalist.

“Hopefully nothing is broken, but I will need stitches in my hand, stitches on my back.”

Levine said she did not personally see the Israeli military at the scene, but saw tear gas and stunt grenades fired, insinuating that Israeli soldiers must have been there. She also said her bag, camera, and phone were stolen during the attack.

The attack follows a wave of similar incidents against Palestinian and foreign journalists in the West Bank, including those covering the olive harvest...........more..........

 i don't vote because no matter who you vote for the government still gets in and wreaks havoc;

 

 “Voting Democrat is the lesser of two evils, because which is worse – the wholesale slaughter of innocent women and children in a foreign war that serves no useful purpose, or some tranny freak wearing a dress at your workplace? However, the lesser of two evils is still evil, which means your only real choice is to not vote.”

Are you voting this November? I’m not.

Where I live, (LA) votes don’t count. The entire city and state government here is corrupt beyond repair. Look at the ballot dumps that appeared in the middle of the night for the recent Los Angeles mayoral race primary. Thousands of fake votes for Deep State plant Karen Bass and socialist Nithya Raman. None for Spencer Pratt. Not only that, but we’re supposed to believe that Los Angeles residents voted themselves a huge tax increase.

But that’s me. Your situation is different. How you vote this November, or if you bother to vote at all, will likely come down to what you think about our current “war” with Iran.

If you believe, as I do, that the whole thing is phony, then it makes sense to vote Republican. After all, what’s the alternative? A vote for a Democrat is a vote for gun control, homosexuality, trannyism, open borders, legalized abortion and every other disgusting sin of modern society.

On the other hand….............more...........

 the power elite in britain aren't aware that the average brit has no interest in fighting for muhamed kahn;

 

 General Sir Roly Walker, Chief of the Army General Staff in the UK (above), has declared that Britons will be required to make sacrifices for their country in a coming war.

He addressed around 700 soldiers at Catterick Garrison and laid out the coming reality in plain terms. “You didn’t know this, but our nation is going to need you,” he said. “There was a time that our nation didn’t want to think of a time when it would need its soldiers to fight in a war. Indeed, very soon, the political leaders of this country will start to have a frank conversation with the citizens of this country about just what is going on and where the risk lies.”

He continued that citizens “have got to consent to sacrifices to prioritise defence and security” and that they will be asked “to play a part in the defence and security of this country.” Ultimately, he said, the public must “back us, to back you to do the one thing that you do that nobody else gets to do and that is to take the fight to the enemy.”.........more...........

US “Project Meridian” — A Symptom of American Decline, Not a Solution

By Brian Berletic
New Eastern Outlook

October 19, 2026

The creation of “Project Meridian” is not a path to US military superiority but an admission of its own weakness, rooted in a financialized system rather than a technology gap.

US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently announced the creation of the 120 day task force, “Project Meridian.”

On the US Department of Defense’s website it says the project aims, “to secure America’s long-term military superiority by identifying the capabilities required to achieve absolute technological dominance on the next-generation battlefield.”

At face value, the initiative serves as a further symptom of the US’ terminal decline rather than any sort of path toward “long-term military superiority” or “absolute technological dominance.”

The necessity of the project itself is an oblique admission of current and growing US military weakness — increasingly on display amid US wars and proxy wars worldwide in which US weapons are both falling behind in capabilities and quantities.............more..........
