"#GCC and #Iran are neighbors. Neighbors forever. We cannot get rid of them, and they can't get rid of us. So it's better for both of us to work it out and to look for ways in which we can coexist" - Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman
This is the most interesting part of the message IMO. A lot of the strife in the middle east is caused by the power struggles between these two. I don't know if MBS is being serious here but it seems like a message to USA that they are aware of their tricks.

Also, in this context, notice how US is suddenly tempting Iran? There's something brewing between the corpse and MBS.

Biden/Democrats has always been more pro Iran iirc.
More than Iran, I think democrats are heavily infiltrated by Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR usa is Muslim Brotherhood front, and democrat members are funded by it. Qatar is the biggest funder of Muslim Brotherhood followed by Turkey.


USA has outsourced its Afghanistan policy to Qatar and made it major non-Nato ally under Biden.

@Optimistic Nihilist bhai can we finally say that there are now plans of de dollarizarion among ME+China+Russia+Iran+other south american countries.
If not today or tomorrow, that day will soon be upon us.

The beginning of the disintegration of dollar hegemony is going to start within this decade, make no mistake.

Those with IQs over 50 in the European Union (EU) must have understood that Russia simply could not be totally excluded from SWIFT, but maybe only a few of its banks: after all, European traders depend on Russian energy.

From Moscow’s point of view, that’s a minor issue. A number of Russian banks are already connected to China’s CIPS system. For instance, if someone wants to buy Russian oil and gas with CIPS, payment must be in the Chinese yuan currency. CIPS is independent of SWIFT.

Additionally, Moscow already linked its SPFS payment system not only to China but also to India and member nations of the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU). SPFS already links to approximately 400 banks.

With more Russian companies using SPFS and CIPS, even before they merge, and other maneuvers to bypass SWIFT, such as barter trade – largely used by sanctioned Iran – and agent banks, Russia could make up for at least 50 percent in trade losses.

The key fact is that the flight from the US-dominated western financial system is now irreversible across Eurasia – and that will proceed in tandem with the internationalization of the yuan.

Meanwhile, we’re not even talking yet about Russian retaliation for these sanctions. Former President Dmitry Medvedev already gave a hint: everything, from exiting all nuclear arms deals with the US to freezing the assets of western companies in Russia, is on the table.

So what does the The Great Satan or The Empire of Lies as Putin called them, want?

Well, I already made a post about that, detailing the three oligarchic systems that will benefit the most from this: Military Industrial Complex, Oil and Gas sector and the Finance, Insurance and Real Estate sector. You can go through that if you want.

Now compare all of the above with the perspective of a central European business tycoon with vast interests, east and west, and who treasures his discretion.

In an email exchange, the business tycoon posed serious questions about the Russian Central Bank support for its national currency, the ruble, “which according to US planning is being destroyed by the west through sanctions and currency wolf packs who are exposing themselves by selling rubles short.

There is really almost no amount of money that can beat the dollar manipulators against the ruble. A 20 percent interest rate will kill the Russian economy unnecessarily.”

The businessman argues that the chief effect of the rate hike “would be to support imports that should not be imported. The fall of the ruble is thus favorable to Russia in terms of self-sufficiency. As import prices rise, these goods should start to be produced domestically.

I would just let the ruble fall to find its own level which will for a while be lower than natural forces would permit as the US will be driving it lower through sanctions and short selling manipulation in this form of economic war against Russia.”

But that seems to tell only part of the story. Arguably, the lethal weapon in Russia’s arsenal of responses has been identified by the head of the Center for Economic Research of the Institute of Globalization and Social Movements (IGSO), Vasily Koltashov: the key is to confiscate technology – as in Russia ceasing to recognize US rights to patents.

In what he qualifies as “liberating American intellectual property,” Koltashov calls for passing a Russian law on “friendly and unfriendly states. If a country turns out to be on the unfriendly list, then we can start copying its technologies in pharmaceuticals, industry, manufacturing, electronics, medicine.

It can be anything – from simple details to chemical compositions.” This would require amendments to the Russian constitution.

Koltashov maintains that “one of the foundations of success of American industry was copying of foreign patents for inventions.”

Now, Russia could use “China’s extensive know-how with its latest technological production processes for copying western products: the release of American intellectual property will cause damage to the United States to the amount of $10 trillion, only in the first stage. It will be a disaster for them.”

As it stands, the strategic stupidity of the EU beggars belief. China is ready to grab all Russian natural resources – with Europe left as a pitiful hostage of the oceans and of wild speculators. It looks like a total EU-Russia split is ahead – with little trade left and zero diplomacy.

Now listen to the sound of champagne popping all across the MICIMATT.

Both MBS and MBZ snubbed the US. MBZ declined to meet the CENTCOM commander.

Romanian not Polish
In the territory of Romania, it is obvious that the Romanians would be providing food and accomodation, the issue is who is paying? Nothing is free in diplomacy. India would have expended a lot of diplomatic capital trying to bring em in.
In my opinion, it's beyond the paygrade of a mayor to know what capital/diplomatic capital exchanged hands in the background. Remember..... it's not just food and accomodation, it's visa free entry too.
*I do acknowledge and thank all the countries that are helping us get our citizens back.

Speaking of Romania, all eyes are on China taking back Taiwan during the confusion, but what if Erdogan tries to use the confusion to reconquer the Balkans?

This war has potential of segregating the world on east and west divide..
RIC can become a possibility if west pushes India further .
India needs to seriously consider how to resolve the Indo-Tibetan issue with China in order to stand up to the western world.

The question is how do we persuade the CCP of China that it is actually in the best interests of China to solve this border issue peacefully and find a solution where each country do not fear each other and respect each other and is accommodating to each other's concerns and interests without need to provoke violence. Of course it requires China to dump Pakistan.

I really think that the British and the US through CIA were behind the 1962 war and stoking the conflict between China and India. They were scared of China and India being friends and then being friends with USSR and creating one gigantic bloc that would rival and supersede any kind of alliance by the US and European powers.

We need to find a way to bury all this hatchet and become friends for the sake of our national security interests. Once that happen, the entire western world will be afraid of us and the Chinese.

Now this is a very tall order to pull it off. It would take a visionary and geopolitical genius to pull it off.

If this is done, we would be untouchable by the rest of the world.

You can make a separate thread about the what ifs scenario, arising out of the current situation, would be happy to join in on the subject, with my thought (if any).

That's big. Real big.

The biggest Nuclear Reactor of Europe, responsible for 1/4 of energy supply of Ukraine just capitulated to Russian Forces.

Yeah it's not easy, that would require China to see India as an equal. Which they won't. Fundamentally they believe Indians are dark skinned inferiors whose max potential will never reach that of a northeast asian (like theirs) or white country. They would definitely see us as a better slave than Pakistan if we asked them to pick one, but that would require us to be a slave, not competitor. Not to mention, US will just swoop in and go all in on Pakistan in that case.

Most of Balkan nations are in NATO, I don't think even Erdoggy will be that stupid to start 21st century crusade.

However, Sultan has dream of starting a union of turkic states. If he actually manages to pull something off like this, be ready for 13th Russo-turkic war, those 2 always keep fighting for control over central asia. Armenia is fucked either way. 😿
