This is the sound a stuck pig makes when he’s President of the US (and Vance, Wiles and Warrington are leaking against Miller, Witkoff, Kushner and Netanyahu: time.com/article/2026/0…  and  x.com/bears_with/sta…

@roy61678 Wrong quadriped perhaps, Rinaldy. Ass?

@bears_with INSTC vs IMEC INDIA is the Trojan Horse in BRICS ???

Beware of the boomerang which the US, Israel, their Arab allies, and India threw at Iran -- the stealth weapon which they failed  to see coming and duck.#more-93749" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">johnhelmer.net/the-boomerang-…

@BrianMcDonaldIE @TAdshead1145 Not just written, Brian. There's the untold story of my role as Russian consultant to Bord Bia for selling Irish beef offal and lamb to the Russian market, and my campaign at the Embassy to recognize John Field as a greater Irish cultural contribution to Russia than green beer.

@TAdshead1145 @bears_with John has written some interesting stuff over the years...

Vogue Russia launched in 1998, and one of its early shoots featured an 18-year-old Gisele Bündchen. Shot in a primary school in Moscow’s Vspolny Lane, the series was titled “Beloved Older Sister.” Photos by Perry Ogden.

Trump pretending to be Bahrain, Saudi Arabia pretending to be the Arab League try to legalize their genocide war against Iran at the UN Security Council. Watch what happens next.   johnhelmer.net/the-un-securit…

@Tez11288903 This is a purge. Reshuffle would be when Trump replaces Hegseth with Daniel Driscoll (currently Army Sec).

Talk about a reshuffle - these are usually reserved for parliaments. I bet the U.K. establishment looks on with envy.

@FiorellaIsabelM Thanks.

This is true. Not just in personal interactions I’ve had but also if you go to any Russian channel’s comments where they’re discussing Iran vs Israel/ U.S., the support is overwhelmingly in favor of Iran. IMO while Russia’s elite tend to favor Israel, the working people do not.

By George! Trump’s War Secretary has fired the most senior US Army officer because of his disloyalty in fighting the last Biden war, not because of his disagreement in fighting this Trump war. cbsnews.com/news/hegseth-o…

Russians overwhelmingly favour Iran; only 1 in 50 Russians favours Israel and the US. But the majority does not want to become directly involved in the conflict. johnhelmer.net/russian-public…

@svadrb Not exactly a plan, more a declaration of principles. However, they did not contradict Russia's goals in the Ukraine as Wang Yi's 5-point plan contradicts all of Iran's terms.

@bears_with Out of curiosity, did China issue any statements about ceasefire in Ukraine? Wasn't there a Chinese plan for Ukraine as well?

Wang Yi’s 5-point Iran “peace initiative” ignores Iran’s terms, undermines Iran’s defence against the US, Israel and their allies, appeases Trump, falsifies UN role, fools nobody.  johnhelmer.net/hormuz-is-the-…

GOOD NEWS FRIDAY:  the 15-point US peace plan BEATEN, the 5-point Chinese peace plan IGNORED, the 5-point plan of Mojtaba Khamenei, the 5-point Iran-Moscow plan; and then Trump’s speech. Moscow 12:50am, London 11:50pm, Chicago 16:50pm Thursday: streamyard.com/sfc25abxyh

Trump’s goal is not regime change “because all of their original leaders are dead”, not military defeat because Iran  ”is really no longer a threat”, not economic defeat because “they are decimated economically”. Goal is now “to bring them back to the Stone Ages” - genocide.

Iran ignores Chinese 5-point peace proposal of March 31, announcing instead in Moscow through Ambassador Kazem Jalali this 4-point plan for Russian mediation with the US. tass.com/world/2110185

@elapagondedic Yes.

@bears_with I love John's memes.

@Tez11288903 The war at sea -- attacks on tankers, interceptions, attempts to create chokepoints in the Baltic.

@bears_with John, are you referencing Russia and its own waterways or Russia not helping Iran more? It seems China is not defending its waterways either and its military is many times larger than Russia’s. Also, China is not bogged down in a massive border war.

PAPER TIGER GOES TO SEA – Iran defends its trade routes by firing drones.  Russia fires words – diplo protests from ForMin Lavrov, plans for Navy escorts in future from Security Council Patrushev. Guess what succeeds, what fails.  kommersant.ru/doc/8551983

@GildasMtl About Doctorow on Russian politics, he's as right as a broken clock is right -- Dances With Bears » Search Results » doctorow

Bon sang ! Le Panthera tigris altaica existe pourtant bel et bien, et se porte mieux que jamais, pourquoi faire entrer en scène cette pâle copie de tigre en carton? Qui tire les ficelles de cette mise en scène qui cache le véritable fauve derrière un simulacre de papier ? Je regardais l’autre jour Gilbert Doctorow, et je le vois de plus en plus déçu du dresseur : il cherche des yeux le tigre sibérien, mais on ne lui montre que des ombres chinoises.

@GildasMtl Do you mean that Iran is proving effective at saying then doing what Russia has only hinted at saying but not doing?

@bears_with Alexander Mercouris a plusieurs fois avancé cette hypothèse : les menaces de Vladimir Poutine contre les infrastructures des pays ayant aidé l’Ukraine à frapper le territoire russe seraient aujourd’hui concrétisées via l’Iran. Ça se tient.

In warfighting against the US, Israel and their allies, WHICH WORKS BEST? Russia’s red-line warnings and diplo appeals to “return to reason”, or Russian-assisted Iranian counter-attack.  Click to listen to the new podcast this morning: youtube.com/watch?v=dfAcNk…
