OMFG a publicly owned, high tech reincarnation of the East India Company and not one Venetian Vampire Squid in charge. Its good news week (so far ;))
There is an efficiency and capacity in this enterprise structure that clearly leaves the western Thatcherite economics for dead. It is becoming clearer by the day that the obsolete manufacture plants scattered across the Ukraine region are never going to be of much use in the new Russia being born in the east. Any Ukies left should start practicing pitching a hay fork and planting potatoes in straight lines for the next generation.
Don't forget the Wood-Pigeons Uncle T, those forests are full of them, well they were before those pesky Russian Fabs shook hands with those trees. Still with plenty Ukies for fertiliser the forests can heal quickly.
Indeed they will heal and perhaps doubled in expanse. In my lighter moments I can imagine that all those demised swastika huggers finally accelerated a carbon sink forest to lock up CO2 and that saved the Ruskies from a soggy climate greenhouse and sustained a fleet of nuclear powered Russian ice breakers. There has to be bright side imo.
Yes Karl, Rostec were involved in one of the projects I played a role in around 15 years ago along with another Russian company with whom I submitted a contract to build power stations in West Africa.
No one can argue that Putin is The Statesman of the 21st Century, however, he's made several bad strategic errors/judgements; the glaring one was not allowing the Donbass Freedom Fighters to execute those Nazis back in 2015 when they had them surrounded. Stalin would have insisted that once they were all exterminated to put another bullet in their heads for good luck. Being conned by mediocre western leaders like Merkel & Hollande proved a Biggie for what's transpired later.
Now this one I'm about to explain for me is a no-brainer.
Agreements have been signed with China, Belarus and North Korea, reciprocal, an attack on one is an attack on all.
Well how come the recent agreement with Iran pussy-foot's around coming to its aid if attacked?
America-Israel have no such pact that I know of, but even if so, the Mossad & CIA are kinfolk, joined at the hip.
How Israel received their Nukes doesn't matter and those missile defences are predominately Made in America, Raytheon and the like.
So here's Putin bending over for the IAEA when this US-tool is leaking Iran's Nuclear business while turning a blind-eye to the genocidal butcher Israel's Nukes. Rather than cooperating with the IAEA I'd be sending a Kinzhal to their H/Q in Austria.
Gets worse!!
America/NATO have not only brazenly come right up to Russia's porch with 3 attempted Colour-Revolutions in Belarus & Georgia but have seen fit to place Nukes in UK, Germany, Italy, Romania (Jesus), Turkiye (for god's sake) and talk of for Poland,
The KICKER (and I've been stating this for 15 years, maybe longer, before Mearsheimer anyway)
Putin/Russia's Achilles Heal has been those Israeli-Russians or dual-citizens who he's allowed to get away literally with murder in Syria when Assad's/Russia controllers brought down with friendly fire a Russian jet and meant for Israel who had wedged themselves intentionally in between.
Ok so the main point is although I'm not totally familiar with all of Iran's nuclear facilities and their purpose, NATO/Israel won't attack BUSHEHR nuclear power plant where Rosatom are currently working bringing it online.
So why with everything I've stated above has Russia not placed Nukes in Iran??? Iran has only stated it won't develop nukes.
All the trouble and strife that's gone on these past 2 decades wouldn't have, such as Israeli missiles into Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Palestine.
Yes, I have a dozen questions for Putin for clarification; I also remember that the decisions are almost always collective. The immediate situation is more pressing. Iran’s plan is very clear, IMO. Ben Givr admitted drinking Zionist Kool-aid trying to use “We underestimated the power of Iran’s missiles” as an excuse for provoking the war—the latter point he didn’t deny. In the second retaliatory attack last year, Iran showed it had very powerful hypersonic missiles capable of evading Zionist AD. From Al-Mayadeen’s breaking news crawl:
“Residents of Tel Aviv are now defenseless in the face of Iran’s missile capabilities.
“IRGC Statement No. 10: Latest missile strike proved beyond any doubt that the skies over the occupied territories are now fully under our control
“IRGC Statement No. 10: Deployment of Fattah missiles delivered a message of Iranian power to Tel Aviv’s delusional ally and instigator of war
“IRGC Statement No. 10: Powerful and maneuverable Fattah missiles penetrated "Israel’s" missile defense shield, repeatedly striking the cowardly Zionist hideouts
“IRGC Statement No. 10: We are witnessing the beginning of the end of the Zionist army’s air defense system.”
I'm not doubting Iran's capabilities at all. They could defeat the combined West or at least hold their own but it could be at the cost of many Iranian lives.
As I've said China & Russia should be thinking that We Can End This Here and now by crippling those US floating ducks.
If Iran were to lose then Africa which has turned to Russia for military-technical and China for Infrastructure could get cold-feet and allow Bully-Boy and its EU vassals back in.
A joint China-Russia statement that like Pakistan should US/NATO fire Nukes then those
Should WTFUD but will any support be forthcoming for Iran in its hour of need?
I completely agree with all you stated in your first comment and wondered why Russia did not want a mutual security pact in January with Iran unlike the one that was eventually signed which is quite worthless in this situation.
The dual citizens should have had their Russian citizenship cancelled, but no action, just more brotherly love I guess. And as they found out with Ukraine that brotherly love wasn't reciprocal, so an ounce of prevention already, please.
It's now just plain silly to maintain the illusion that there's a reasonable grouping in the combined west for negotiation. The US is all in as it's seen the writing on the wall with tariff/sanction/reshoring failure upon failure. The existential battle seems to have been joined whether we like it or not. The west's fictional capital fairy tale has ended already, it's just the hoi-polloi haven't yet been informed (just buy another meme coin, suckers).
America shot its load in Ukraine then several weeks back against the Houthis and now it's looking to shoot it's 3rd load into Iran. It should be its last ever salvo with divers in 100 years recovering those oversized bath-tubs from the beds of the Sea of Oman or Indian Ocean.
Iran & Houthis taking on the combined-West +1 (Israhell) just isn't cricket.
The US has deployed a second aircraft carrier group to the Middle-East diverting USS Nimitz away from the South China Sea to join USS Carl Vinson.
Nimitz is a class of ten nuclear powered aircraft carriers.
* I read Nimitz was being decommissioned in 2026 and therefore a cheap and easy way for its disposal would be a false-flag sinking and excuse to use Nukes.
This next part of my comment would help me sleep easier (even though I've no fear of dying, more of living in a psychotic rules-based order of Zio-Nazis and other vermin whom I'd have no problem driving a pitchfork into and twisting it).
Warships from Iran, China and Russia kicked off their annual joint-exercises in the Gulf of Oman in March 2025.
The 'Security Belt-2025' drills took place near the Iranian port of Chabahar are the 5th joint naval exercise held since 2019.
Analysts have long seen the drills as a demonstration of the growing Partnership among the three powers as they seek to counterbalance US influence and challenge the Western-led global order.
Well I pray that those 'Security Belt-2025' warships are speeding back to their training grounds (Homefield Advantage) locked, loaded and ready to sink anything that fires on Iran.
Anything less and you can shove any Partnership where the sun don't shine.
Interesting information. the US needs to chuck the Think(drunk ) Tanks that are full of fake experts. The biggest problem is that failure is rewarded or ignored.
I look at these think tanks and academics as the tools deployed by oligarchy to develop the mental prisons to prevent effective understanding and alternative paradigms that liberate populations from the control of the one percent.
Exciting and inspiring on Rostec, and the social role it’s playing out as well.
Who trusts the simple phone company here?
Things happen a 100 X faster as well without the BS having to be “respected “as being credible comment.
Constructive and so in contrast to our leadership wanting to imprison one with fear of a bogeyman under the bed ready to eat you up leaving no room to be inspired.
Hi Karl - thanks for this information - no I didn't know about this entity that helped Russia's economy and the last paragraph is excellent. I agree 100% although I usually explain it by saying that the Abram tribe was just a savage brutal tribe so how could they tranlate the higher messages from the Spiritual world as anything but these kinds of demands. But its very possible another being took over - some elevated demon of some sort. In the beginning God was wonderful and brooded over the waters.. like a hen. Even Jesus likens Himself to a mother hen.
"the state defense order" is the equivalent of the Industrial-Military Complex. But in Russia, being state-owned, it is regulated by government, rather than controlling government as in military empires. Explicitly using action research as a regulator of its dynamic systems of production, not dead reckoning, straight line, future-blind implementation.
"Researchers at the University of Copenhagen have found that countries with a high level of corruption, violence and poverty have higher levels of people with personality traits like narcissism, sadism and psychopathy. It suggests the way a society is governed has a cultural impact on the populous.
The more adverse conditions in a society, the higher the level of the Dark Factor of Personality among its citizens. This applies both globally and within the United States.
In societies where rules are broken without consequences and where the conditions for many citizens are bad, individuals perceive and learn that one should actually think of oneself first.
Aversive personality traits are associated with behaviours such as aggression, cheating, and exploitation – and thus with high social costs. Therefore, even small variations can lead to large differences in how societies function.
… reforms that reduce corruption and inequality not only create better living conditions just now – they may also contribute to mitigating aversive personality levels among the citizens in the future."
China and Russia are benefitting from this 'halo effect' - as their governance becomes more effectively mutualist/socialist, their people contribute more and partake of a more mature civilisation. Mutualist morality, as exemplified in public service ethic, becomes the norm. "... young people have already gone from economists and lawyers to engineering universities, they like it much more."
The Scandinavian countries used to work like this, but having been poisoned by neoliberal values of selfishness and austerity, have, alas, turned to the Dark Factors of Personality.
Wherever over the last three quarters of a century socialist governments have been destroyed for imperialist gain, their peoples have fallen into criminality, assertive greed, and antisocial habits. The source of international bad behaviour, such as obsessive-compulsive belligerence, stealing or inducing chaos, ["aggression, cheating, and exploitation"] is to be found in this circular feedback loop between ruling elites and their subject people. So too international mutualist cooperative habits. In BRICS+ deliberations we can hope.
Strange, because I closely monitor Al Mayadeen very closely and I have not seen anything like that. Also, I think it would have been top news on Saba and, although I do not keep an eye on it as closely as Al Mayadeen, I probably would have seen it too.

james posted the link that follows to an excellent 16 minute video that I suggest be watched by as many as possible, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRA2oQnXsSQ
Is James the gentleman who ruined the buffet at the Harrow Club this afternoon?
Only kidding!
16 minutes well spent.

Since you mentioned Abrahamic....
Anyone who claims there are 3 Abrahamic religions and that he understands the Bible is either a fool or a tool - https://crushlimbraw.blogspot.com/2023/03/biblical-proof-that-jews-are-not-gods.html?m=0 - and please do not respond - I don't do pissing contests - you can read what I linked or delete it - that's your call.
I never learned anything by yapping my mouth - only by reading, analyzing and discerning the truth, which comes from practice - Hebrews 5:11-6:2
not bad - pretty interesting. A few things I disagree with - but not very important things.

Here is my latest article about US, Israel, Iran, World War 3 and nuclear Armageddon: https://geopolitiq.substack.com/p/on-the-brink-of-world-war-3-and-nuclear?r=25fc37
I did not read about the Houthis's plan to invade Israel. Could you please share a link to the source?
As I recall, I read that at Al-Mayadeen, but I just did a search there and with Yandex and got nothing. But I do know what I read.
Strange, because I closely monitor Al Mayadeen very closely and I have not seen anything like that. Also, I think it would have been top news on Saba and, although I do not keep an eye on it as closely as Al Mayadeen, I probably would have seen it too.
Have you seen this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRA2oQnXsSQ
Very interesting! It confirms some of my analysis.
No. Thank you, I will watch it later.
Israel and it's supporters are Terrorists. TY Karl.
