Well, we can hardly wait until the UN report comes out. These UN committees always produce useful results, don't they.
Like another bloated tic on the taxpayers neck.
The Houthis are drunk on their success with the takeover of the Hodeidah Port, and they may think that with Iran's backing they can defeat the Saudis and Emiratis, just as the Japanese thought they could defeat the Americans in 1941.
Iran has been holding "peace talks" separately with Saudi Arabia and UAE, and the Houthis may wish to sabotage those talks.
Iran may wish to send a message that it wants America and the West to end the sanctions on Iran.
Each one of these objectives is likely to backfire.
Tend to agree we will stabilize and leave them behind again on numerous levels.
This firecracker was lit with a somewhat longer fuse as Schönbach made his comments during the docking of the naval frigate Bayern at Mumbai, where he addressed the Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses on Friday. He called “nonsense” the idea that Russia was “interested in having a small and tiny strip of Ukraine soil and integrating it into their country.” [1]
German and British perspectives
As Moneycircus noted in Eurasia Note #16 and #17, Germany’s business class historically has seen its destiny to the east, where Russia’s ample energy supplies create a ready market for German machinery and finished goods. Now it seems part of the German military establishment shares that view — in conflict with the mass of politicians who mostly side readily with the U.S. and the security apparatus on topics like sanctions on Russia.
For many years European Union foreign policy-making circles were top-heavy with Polish and British officials hostile to Russia. This was not just a matter of historical grievance but perspective — the British are aligned with the “free trade” movement of footloose global capital that is loyal to no land. What the Earl Stockton, Harold Macmillan, British prime minister from 1957-63, called in 1985:
"The enormous sums of money, of floating, uninvested money... [which] produced a great cloud that moved uneasily about the capitals of the world, disturbing the monetary system and upsetting the economies, destroying the general structure..."
This led to the GATT and NAFTA trade agreements that de-industrialized much of Britain and the United States. Cosmopolitan finance was just as happy to site its factories in China.
In order to “break the cycle of decline in multilateral organisations” the Foreign Affairs Committee in Jun 2021 called for Britain to use multilateral bodies wherever possible to pursue foreign policy objectives.
Paging Steele.
The issue is we are being exclaved from the left and right coast as Captain Unixed Oatmeal allows the transportation to collapse.
It is a feature as the body farm grows of mental decay and abuses to the fly overs.
It’s rare to have anything good to say about big media, but Spotify is big media and Joe Rogan’s platform has taken the concept of Mass Formation mainstream.

This is the process by which masses emerge in society, as described over centuries by names like Gustave Le Bon, Hannah Arendt and Solomon Asch. It’s neither obscure nor debunked as the press tells you.
