President Trump’s Plan for the Middle East

by Paul Craig Roberts, Paul Craig Roberts:

In discussion yesterday with Nima on Dialogue Works about the Israeli-Iranian-Trump-Netanyahu ongoings, I suggested a bold and innovative plan for the Middle East that Trump should present to the world in a speech to the UN General Assembly.  I even offered to write the speech. https://www.youtube.com/live/L-8j_NSxC14 

I formed the plan from mulling over insights into Trump’s attitude toward the Middle East from Gilbert Doctorow, Michel Chossudovsky, and from Trump’s news conference with Netanyahu when Trump stated Washington’s claim to Gaza as an American possession.

Doctorow pointed out that it was irrelevant whether Trump had destroyed the three underground Iranian nuclear sites.  What mattered is that Trump’s assertion, true or false, had destroyed Netanyahu’s excuse for war with Iran. Is Netanyahu going to risk Washington’s protection by contradicting President Trump?

By yourNEWS Media Newsroom

Russia executed its most extensive aerial attack on Ukraine since the war began, launching over 500 drones and missiles in a sweeping overnight operation that hit multiple regions, including areas far removed from the battlefield, Ukrainian officials reported Sunday.

The Ukrainian Air Force said Moscow deployed 537 aerial weapons during the assault—477 of them drones or decoys, and 60 missiles. Defenders intercepted 249 and electronically jammed another 226, though dozens still struck targets across the country.

Kremlin Reacts To NATO Defense Spending Hike: ‘No Significant Effect’

by Mac Slavo, SHTF Plan:

This article was originally published by Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge. 

The Kremlin in a new Friday statement made clear that NATO’s decision to significantly boost military spending, formalized this week at the annual NATO summit in The Hague, which Trump and other leaders attended, won’t have a meaningful impact on Russia’s security.

Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov responded to a reporter’s question over what impact NATO’s commitment to 5% of GDP on defense over the next decade for each member state will be by saying, “I don’t think it will have any significant effect.”

“We know what goals we are pursuing; we don’t hide them, we state them openly, and they are absolutely legitimate in terms of any interpretation of the UN Charter and international law. We know by what means we will always ensure these goals,” he said.

“Digital Wearables” – A key cog in the social credit machine?

by Kit Knightly, Off Guardian:

Yesterday, RFK jr announced it was a major part of the “Make America Healthy Again” plan that everybody should be monitoring their health using digital wearables within the next four years.

A “wearable” is a device like an Apple Watch or Google’s FitBit, something you wear which monitors your activity levels, heart rate etc. Naturally, in order to monitor distances travelled, they all have a GPS chip in them. Some monitor your blood sugar or other vital signs.

Russian President Vladimir Putin Delivers Remarks About President Trump Following Iran/Israel 12-day War

from The Conservative Treehouse:

Russian President Vladimir Putin answered questions from the media earlier.  One of the questions was about President Trump against the backdrop of peace efforts, the middle-east conflict and Ukraine.

President Putin’s response is very interesting.  I am placing here as a datapoint for my own analysis without reading too much into it at the moment.  All of the points are converging in one direction.  WATCH: 

SPIEF 2025: Russia strengthens leadership in building a new multipolar economic order

by Lucas Leiroz, Strategic Culture:

The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF 2025) concluded this past weekend, reaffirming its status as one of the most significant political and economic events of the contemporary world. Over the course of four days, the Russian city welcomed representatives from governments, businesses, religious institutions, academia, and think tanks from more than sixty countries to discuss, negotiate, and outline the future of the global economy under new principles. Unlike Western forums – dominated by self-congratulatory speeches and exclusionary policies – SPIEF proved to be a genuine platform for concrete cooperation, with dozens of agreements signed between Russia and emerging nations. In a world increasingly fragmented by Western-led unilateralism, the event reaffirmed Russia’s central role in the global transition toward a multipolar international order.

Where Is The Missing Uranium? – This Is A Question That The Entire World Should Be Asking

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

Nobody seems to know what happened to Iran’s enormous stockpile of enriched uranium.  Until we learn the fate of that uranium, I think that it is premature for anyone to be declaring victory.  Of course now that the ceasefire appears to be holding, everyone is declaring victory.  Israel is declaring victory, Iran is declaring victory, and President Trump is declaring victory.  But what is the truth?
