What the hell is going on? Why did Tulsi just state Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, AND Pakistan are all building advanced missiles, nuclear & conventional, that can hit the U.S, and are becoming a threat?

JUST IN: Saudi Arabia just proved that oil can bypass the Strait of Hormuz. Nobody has proved that fertiliser can. That is the sentence that reprices the entire war. On March 2, an Iranian drone struck debris near Ras Tanura, Saudi Aramco’s flagship refinery at 550,000 barrels per day. Aramco shut it down as a precaution. By March 10 it was restarting. By March 13, full operations resumed. The mechanism: the East-West pipeline to Yanbu on the Red Sea coast, built decades ago for exactly this scenario. Saudi crude that would normally load at Gulf terminals now loads at a Red Sea port that Hormuz cannot touch. Brent sits above $111. Saudi oil flows. The strait is irrelevant to Saudi energy exports. Now hold that fact against what happened today. Israeli strikes hit Phase 14 processing facilities at South Pars, the largest gas field on Earth. Fire confirmed by Iran’s oil ministry. Partial production suspension. South Pars produces 70 to 80 percent of Iran’s gas. That gas is the hydrogen feedstock for the Haber-Bosch ammonia synthesis that becomes urea. The factory that makes the molecule is burning. The strait that ships the molecule is closed. And there is no Yanbu pipeline for nitrogen. Oil has infrastructure redundancy. Pipelines built across Arabian desert decades ago by engineers who understood that the Gulf’s single maritime exit was a vulnerability. Saudi Arabia invested in the bypass. It works. Ras Tanura restarts. Yanbu loads. The world gets its crude. Fertiliser has no equivalent architecture. Urea loads at Ruwais, Ras Laffan, Bandar Imam. All inside the Gulf. All west of the strait. There is no pipeline that carries ammonia or urea across a peninsula to a Red Sea port. There is no bypass. The molecule must transit 21 miles of mined, uninsured, permissioned water or it does not move at all. NOLA urea is locked at $683. It has not moved in nineteen days. It did not move when Ras Tanura restarted because urea does not load at Ras Tanura. It did not move when the leadership was decapitated because the Mosaic Doctrine’s provincial commands do not need leaders. It will not move when South Pars is repaired because the strait will still be closed when the gas field comes back online. The market is pricing Saudi oil resilience as proof of temporary disruption. The Yanbu bypass works. The refinery restarted. Brent stabilises. Consensus says two to six weeks to resolution. That consensus is anchored entirely to the commodity that has an escape route and is ignoring the commodity that does not. P&I clubs cancelled Gulf war-risk cover on March 5. Over 500 tankers are stranded. Solvency II capital rules require 30 to 60 days of incident-free stability before reinstatement. The Red Sea precedent is 26 months and counting. Even after a ceasefire, the insurance clock structurally exceeds the planting calendar. The Corn Belt nitrogen window closes mid-April. India Kharif runs through May. FAO projects 100 to 200 million additional people at acute hunger risk. Saudi Arabia built a pipeline. It saved its oil. Russia collected the energy windfall without firing a shot. China learned everything about American weapons systems for free. And the fertiliser that feeds four billion people remains trapped behind a chokepoint that has no bypass, governed by sealed orders that have no author, priced by an insurance market that has no memory shorter than years. Oil found its Yanbu. Nitrogen has no Yanbu. And the planting season does not wait for one to be built. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

IRAN JUST HIT THE LARGEST OIL EXPORT TERMINAL ON EARTH AND THIS TIME THERE IS NO PROXY TO BLAME A Shahed-136 drone struck Saudi Aramco’s Ras Tanura refinery on March 2, igniting a fire that was quickly contained according to Reuters and Bloomberg citing industry sources. Saudi Aramco shut down the entire facility as a precautionary measure. No casualties were reported. The Saudi Defence Ministry confirmed it intercepted drones targeting the site, with debris causing the ground fire per The Hindu. Ras Tanura processes 550,000 barrels per day. It is one of the largest oil refining and export complexes on the planet. And Iran just hit it with a $30,000 drone. On September 14, 2019, drones and cruise missiles struck Saudi Aramco’s Abqaiq processing facility and Khurais oil field, temporarily halving Saudi output by 5.7 million barrels per day. The Houthis claimed responsibility. The United States, Saudi Arabia, and European intelligence agencies concluded Iran orchestrated the attack. Tehran denied involvement. The proxy shield held. No retaliation followed. Oil spiked 15% on Monday, then unwound within two weeks as production resumed. That playbook is dead. In 2026, Iran is launching strikes against Saudi territory under its own flag as part of Operation True Promise 4. The IRGC is simultaneously hitting nine countries. There is no Houthi intermediary absorbing attribution. There is no plausible deniability. Iran struck Ras Tanura, and every intelligence agency, every oil trader, and every Saudi military commander knows exactly who launched the drone, from which territory, under whose orders. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman spent eight years building Vision 2030 around a single premise: that Saudi Arabia could diversify away from oil dependence while maintaining the kingdom’s security through a combination of American protection and regional de-escalation with Iran. MBS authorized backchannel normalization with Tehran through China in 2023. The Saudi-Iran detente was the centerpiece of Gulf stability. That detente just burned on the tarmac at Ras Tanura. Saudi Arabia has not been a co-belligerent in Operation Epic Fury. Riyadh did not participate in strikes on Iran. Saudi airspace may have been used for overflight, and Saudi air defenses are intercepting Iranian ordnance, but the kingdom has deliberately avoided offensive operations. The reward for that restraint is an Iranian drone on the crown jewel of Saudi economic infrastructure. Now stack the arithmetic. The Strait of Hormuz is functionally closed, sealing 15 million barrels per day. Ras Tanura’s 550,000 barrels per day is offline. Kuwait International Airport was struck. Jebel Ali port in the UAE showed smoke on satellite. Brent crude already surged 9% to $79.45 per barrel per Bloomberg before this strike was reported. Ras Tanura was not on the market’s pricing model. The market priced Hormuz disruption. The market priced Gulf airspace closure. The market did not price Iran directly attacking Saudi refining capacity because the market assumed Saudi neutrality provided protection. Saudi neutrality provided a target. Monday morning’s crude open will reprice everything written above. And Riyadh will answer a question MBS has avoided for three years: does Saudi Arabia enter this war, or absorb the next drone? open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@AJShreeD @KulkarniRL Nothing new about the fact that scientific laws exist before humans discover them. That’s the difference between discovery and invention.

Doctor, The concept of panchkosh and Advait can easily accept this. However, Philosophy or old scriptures can only show What happens i.e. the effects, and to some extent paths to solution, but to find How, we need physicists. For that they have to accept that the "Apple falls", only then a Newton will be born. Famous line from An Autobiography of Yogi - 'Laws of gravity worked equally well before Newton discovered them.' Problem is today's ecosystem of will create mayhem if any funds are allocated for research in this field... No matter how many apples fall. @RajivMessage @subhash_kak

कधी कधी ICU मध्ये एक pattern दिसतो… मी स्वतः अनेकदा पाहिलं आहे… आणि इतर अनेकांनीही अनुभवलं असेल कदाचित … Serious patient अचानक शांत होतो… परत मध्येच जोरजोरात खूप वर्षांपूर्वी गेलेल्या जवळच्या व्यक्तींशी बोलायला लागतो…आणि म्हणतो “आई आली आहे…”, “बाबा बोलवत आहेत…” आणि काही वेळातच patient arrest मध्ये जातो. हा अनेकदा एक warning sign असतो. End-of-life experiences (ELE) , Terminal delirium , Hypoxia सारख्या गोष्टी नामांकित research journals मध्ये पण आढळतात. विज्ञान असतं… आणि स्पष्टीकरणही असतं… तरीही काही अनुभव असे असतात जे पूर्णपणे शब्दात मांडता येत नाहीत… ते फक्त मनात राहतात… आणि विचार करायला भाग पाडतात. When a critical patient suddenly starts talking to long-deceased loved ones, it is often a warning that deterioration may be near. There is science… but not everything is fully explainable. Some experiences simply stay with you. Dr Ravindra L Kulkarni Just For Hearts #NearDeathExperience #EndOfLifeCare #ICUObservations

Dear @antonioguterres - have you considered making an International Day to Combat Hinduphobia? If not, then aren't you being bigoted and violating your own principle of equality of all faiths? And have you inquired whether those claiming victimhood of Islamophobia are themselves guilty of ASSAULTING KAFIRS? In effect, are you supporting the Caliphate Project? @LauraLoomer @AmyMek @peterboghossian @jordanbpeterson
António Guterres@antonioguterres

Muslims worldwide often face institutional discrimination, socio-economic exclusion, biased immigration policies & unwarranted surveillance & profiling. This International Day to Combat Islamophobia, let’s re-commit to the equality, human rights & dignity of every person, no matter their faith.

This is good. Every tradition must protect its integrity. When a deity is invited to live in a place through prana prathishta rituals, we make a pledge to look after the deity as per the specific protocols for that deity. These protocols include the mental and physical states of those coming to worship. This is analogous to the pre-requisites needed to be allowed into a restricted place such as a surgical operation, a pilot's cockpit, a nuclear facility, the judge's chamber, etc. Educate the critics, then ignore them if they persist. ndtv.com/entertainment/…

wow? the champion of free speech @suhasinih upset that someone is thinking differently than her! For the record, I have supported @LauraLoomer in her latest intellectual positions. Such transformation takes investment from OUR SIDE to re-educate strategic voices. And courage from her side to be so open and direct in supporting Hindus.
Kashmiri Hindu@BattaKashmiri

This is why @suhasinih is so mad with @LauraLoomer Just can't tolerate anything against the Jihadi Ecosystem.

@RajivMessage @LauraLoomer So what did you use to change her? Is it some sort of ‘trade secret’? Why not share your methods widely for the benefit of Indian diaspora across the world against the multitude of racists everywhere? Or do you expect royalties for the methods?

So glad she visited India & spoke. Ignore the IDIOTS who don’t understand the complexities, black/white binaries, blind idolatry/hatred, and over emotional. I can vouch that @LauraLoomer changed over past 2 months. Should be nurtured as solid Hindu supporter inside the MAGA camp.
Monica Verma@TrulyMonica

‘I apologise to Indians for my hurtful tweets. I am an advocate for Hindu people and continue to speak against brutalities on them’ Did Laura Loomer had a change of heart. This will be the fate of every India hater few years down the line. Good..

@RajivMessage @LauraLoomer Pragmatic coalition building & trying to change some adversarial positions of potential allies, is what winners (and true KarmaYogis like you) do @RajivMessage ji. Losers just whine and remain offended for ever. Hindus & Indians need to carefully build support in US politics.

I hope those trolling me for supporting @LauraLoomer will read this. She hits at Islamists, Woke like @sardesairajdeep. Every day she sticks her neck out lashing against Islamic radicalism. If you have someone more effective with similar GLOBAL INFLUENCE, let me know. She became solidly pro-Hindu 60+ days ago. I am more interested in developing practical ways to benefit, while idiots crave emotional feel-good "apology" which is irrelevant.
Laura Loomer@LauraLoomer

.@sardesairajdeep you attacked me today during my panel at the @indiatoday Conclave, and you accused me of “racism” and “Islamophobia” for speaking the truth about Islam. How can you accuse me of being racist when 10 days ago, you had no problem allowing for Islamic jihadist and Muslim Brotherhood mouthpiece @mehdirhasan to come on your show even though he has referred to non-Muslims as “animals and cattle”? Here is the video of Mehdi Hasan calling non-Muslims animals and cattle. 👇🏻 Do you think Hindus are Kaffir like Mehdi does? @sardesairajdeep, It appears to me that you are an Islamic sympathizer. Even worse, Mehdi previously said he wants to see more planes crash in America. Did you ambush him and ask him to apologize for calling for acts of Islamic terrorism with planes in America? Or do you only raise your voice at women, the same way Muslim men speak to women? Why did you allow this jihadi who has been condemned by the Trump administration for supporting jihad to come on your show? Double standard! It’s time for you to stop siding with those who wish to kill you in the name of Islam. Also, I’m not going to take advice from a man who has been begging @ZohranKMamdani the Jihadi Ugandan to come on his show. Mamdani is a communist. Are you a communist?

Amy Mek@AmyMek·
I am so deeply proud of @LauraLoomer. To see her endure everything she has faced in America and all the people who have relentlessly tried to tear her down, is inspiring. I knew her as a 22-year-old woman, when the entire Republican establishment, Democrats, big banking interests, and seemingly everyone imaginable tried to stop her, cancel her, and pressure her into silence. It was crushing. Laura never ever stopped fighting. She never stopped working. She kept pushing forward despite it all. I am incredibly proud to watch her grow, continue the fight, keep trying, and maintain her absolute loyalty to President Trump. That loyalty means something profound. You go, Laura, you are the consummate fighter. Never stop, and never fear walking into the most difficult situations. You make me very proud my friend 🇺🇸

Thanks for informing the idiots who don’t/can’t read beyond obvious stuff.
Sanjay Lazar@sjlazars

Many trolled me last night because I commented on @LauraLoomer post about coming to India for #Indiatodayconclave Let's make the point: I did see a few of her pre & post-election 2024 posts – no excuse for them at all; they were terrible. x.com/LauraLoomer/st… However, what very few know is that in the summer of 2025, Laura took up cudgels for HINDUS against Khalistanis who had attacked temples in North America & had spread terror. She also spoke about the Air India Kanishka bombing & about Islamists, who were the root cause of evil. She has supported Hindu groups in Washington DC & even spoken against the Khalistanis & Pakistanis who were protesting when Shashi Tharoor & other MPs visited the National Press Club in DC to speak on Operation Sindoor. I was there at that time. Perhaps she had changed her mind between 2024 and mid-2025; the fact that she's coming to India says a lot about how the Hindu groups/Indians she has interacted with in the US have changed her thoughts. Do remember even Donald Trump, Macron, Peter Navarro & Bessent were once rabidly critical of India but are friends today. @IndiaToday
