Battleground WWIII Middle East, Asia, and the World

The impeachment trial didn't lead to war. Instead the impeachment was used to take the headlines so that certain other things wouldn't be in the headlines. #Show

Only 4 options when someone is trying to kill us.

1. They kill us
2. They keep trying until they kill us
3. They just give up and go away
4. They are deterred by a stronger force.

"6 ways Iran could respond to Soleimani's killing "

1. "MILITARY POWER
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and U.S. President Donald Trump talk tough but neither have indicated an interest in all-out war although the possibility of military confrontation cannot be ruled out."

2."BLOCKING THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ
A military confrontation or heightened tensions could disrupt shipping via the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of the world's oil production passes."

3. "ASYMMETRIC TACTICS AND PROXIES
U.S. forces in the Middle East could be endangered. Iran mainly relies on asymmetric tactics and its proxies to counter more sophisticated U.S. weaponry."

4. "TIMING
Iran is unlikely to rush into action, said Ali Alfoneh, senior fellow at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington."

5. "IRAN'S LONG REACH
Iran and its allies could project power beyond the region. In 1994, a member of the Lebanese movement Hezbollah bombed the Argentine Jewish Mutual Aid Society building in Buenos Aires, killing 85 people. Iran has a long history of such attacks in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America, with mixed success"

6. "DIPLOMACY NOT CONFRONTATION
Iranian leaders have previously kept the door open to diplomacy to achieve their aims, especially when its economy has been squeezed by U.S. sanctions."

Thread: Federal Reserve Admits It Pumped More than $6 Trillion to Wall Street in Recent Six Week Period

Propping up the US dollar with loans and wishes. Lots of people came together to make this happen, moved money, made deals (like Aramco), and lots of promises.

What does this mean for the average person?
Hard economic times, harder than they already are.
The Next Great Depression possible.

Launch against US bases Al-Assad and Irbil in Iraq started.

"Reminder that as this crisis escalates, we have no Director of National Intelligence, no Dep Dir, no Homeland Security Secretary, no Dep Sec, no head of CBP or ICE, no State Dept Under Sec of Arms Control, no Asst Sec for Europe, and no Navy Sec."

And almost no president (impeachment), no Brexit, and Bibi was in suspense for awhile.

"DJ - SAUDI TANKER GIANT BAHRI SUSPENDS TRANSITS THROUGH STRAITS OF HORMUZ || PETROBRAS, OTHER TANKER MAJORS ALSO SUSPENDING SAILINGS THROUGH STRAITS OF HORMUZ"

form of economic sanction?

Bahri:
"One of the six business units within Bahri, Bahri Oil is a leading provider of crude oil transportation services for the last two decades and is the exclusive provider of VLCC transportation for Saudi Aramco’s CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) sales."

This is Prince Saw's prize acquisition of late, his 2 trillion dollar deal that made him the wealthiest on the planet.
Essentially if there is no oil coming out of Aramco then Prince Saw has his cake and is eating it too. Holding the world hostage, typical OPEC move.

"A note from Bahri to shipping brokers and clients seen by the Wall Street Journal said the "Saudi flag has advised to refrain from transiting through the Hormuz Strait until 1600, Jan. 8, Saudi time.""

""Bahri currently owns 89 vessels including 43 VLCCs, 35 chemical/product tankers, 6 multipurpose vessels and 5 dry bulk carriers." Roughly 7% of all the VLCC's in the world."

President of the Islamic Republic of Iran tweets:

"General Soleimani fought heroically against ISIS, Al Nusrah, Al Qaeda et al. If it weren’t for his war on terror, European capitals would be in great danger now.
Our final answer to his assassination will be to kick all US forces out of the region."

"(KUNA) categorically denies the validity of what has been circulated about its publication of a statement by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense on the withdrawal of US forces from Kuwait (/) S.A."

"Let me break down why this is a big deal. Bad fuel means there ARE fuel availability issues. It means logistical nightmares. I'm not even sure how you deal with bad fuel. Re blend it? Send it back to the refiner? You tell me. The implications are LOTS of re work. $$$ for tankers."

1. bad fuel means shipping is slowed down.
2. bad fuel means that OPEC is scraping the bottom of their supplies.
3. This is like Venezuela, they have tons of raw crude but cannot get that to a refinery.
4. Saudi owns US largest refinery Port Arthur Texas.

Sure seems like OPEC is going for a hegemony move and control of the world, eh?
Control resources, control time frame of delivery of resources, control territory. Sure sounds like conquest.

Shell oil shut down their operations at the Majnoon field. Is that the issue?

Not sure at this point. 7-28 days will tell.
Aramco was a thorn that is now festering.

The Ukraine plane has to have Russia ties somehow. Either to break up with Iran because it was Russian weaponry or something else. This will fade into the background.

Kuwait and UAE are shitting their pants. They are both right there in the Gulf and quite vulnerable. When men get scared it isn't pretty.

ISIS Boston based Imam. Watch for sleepers.

snipers. VIEDs. vehicle rammings. gas explosions. gridlock pipebombs. event attacks. asymmetrical warfare.

"#IRGC Commander Hajizadeh "We were not after killing, we sought to hit the enemy's military machines" after hitting what he calls "one of the most important US bases" which was "the start of the major operation that will continue throughout the region". #US #Iran #Iraq"

Killing the machines. Hardware. Then cyber hacking to kill the software.

US strategy includes killing the Commander machines who pump out the ideology and terrorism.
