This doesn’t look like cheaper petrol at the bowser, @AlboMP. Pls don’t send warships to pretend to free up Hormuz while actually participating in a US-Israeli led war that will send the global economy into depression.

The IRGC reportedly carried out a missile strike on two ships attempting to cross the Strait of Hormuz at night. The IRGC Navy reports that the ships turned off their transponders and were operating in the interests of the US Navy.

This is a global power play not seen since the former age of great power competition. China has seen enough, and it’s not going to be dictated to by the United States. I wonder how Beijing will start interacting with the ‘cake and eat it too’ core US vassals like Australia?
Alexander Mercouris@AMercouris

The importance of this news is being underestimated. In my opinion it is epoch making. China is apparently telling its refiners to ignore US sanctions and to conduct their business in disregard of them. In other words it is telling them that if the US comes for them because they are violating US sanctions, they have China's back. If that expands to include other Chinese businesses, and sooner or later it surely will, the US sanctions era is over. The US remains an enormous consumer market, but China holds the high cards. It is both the 'workshop of the world' and increasingly its high tech research institute and laboratory, and it is also rapidly becoming a major source of global investment capital. Trading with the US remains profitable and attractive, but not trading with China is not an option, even for the United States. It goes beyond saying that if China opposes US sanctions they become unenforceable. It means that they become impossible, and the whole structure which has been created around them must end. Fyodor Lukyanov, who is very well connected in Moscow, is saying the Chinese are undertaking a review to assess whether the US is, as the Russians say, 'agreement incapable'. If so then this decision points to the outcome. @RnaudBertrand @AXChristoforou @TheGrayzoneNews @RealPepeEscobar @thecyrusjanssen youtube.com/watch?v=PZmepe…

Thiago Avila — a young Brazilian who refused to stay silent — has now joined three different flotillas to break the blockade on Gaza. Each time, the price gets higher. Last time, he left solitary confinement with severe skin diseases. This time, he’s back behind bars — held in isolation alongside Saif Abu Keshk — facing physical and psychological abuse. His “crime”? Trying to bring hope to a besieged people. Today, his detention is being extended through arbitrary court decisions. Not because he’s guilty — but because he won’t give up. This isn’t just his story. It’s a test of our humanity. Will the world stay silent… again? #WeWillNotLeaveGazaAlone #BreakTheBlockade #FreeThiagoAvila

@boganintel He's just a jerk and he's dumber than most people want to admit. At the core of his work is justification for being a bit of a cunt, ironically, in a not dissimilar fashion to the religions he critiques.

Israel is more Ben Givr than Benjamin Netanyahu. The respectable European white colonial racist pragmatism has been replaced by Messianic Bronze Age maniacs who have unreasonable enmity towards others and a self declared mission to hyper-accelerate the end times. Despite this, Australia still maintains economic diplomatic and military normalcy with Israel.

It’s not a Netanyahu problem, it’s their society. They’re probably more radical than Netanyahu himself.
