"We're gonna give Golden Tempo a couple of days and he's going to dictate the Preakness decision.. There's a lot of conversation right now and we're gonna do what's best for him" ~ @reredevaux #PMSLive


There is no effective room for diplomacy between U.S and Iran The war objectives articulated by Netanyahu and embraced by Donald Trump have always been clear: To decapitate the Iranian leadership, enabling a popular uprising that would install a new government handpicked by the US: The decapitation strategy, which in 2026 targeted high-ranking figures of the Revolutionary Guard and the Iranian cabinet, produced the exact opposite effect intended by planners in Washington and Tel Aviv. Instead of clearing the path for a new government, it created three fundamental deadlocks that killed any possibility of diplomacy. Dismantling the Iranian nuclear program: The decapitation strategy and direct attacks by the US and Israel created an “Ultimate Survival Dilemma.” For Tehran, the calculus is now purely existential, based on the bitter lessons learned from other nations that surrendered their nuclear programs only to be attacked. The American strategy was not only ineffective here but created concrete obstacles to future progress. This generates a perverse spiral: the more Iran accelerates its program to protect itself, the more Israel feels compelled to prevent the country from becoming a nuclear power. In other words, Israel is fighting a situation that Netanyahu himself, through his own personal project, has exacerbated. Limiting the missile program in quantity and range: For 2026 Iran, accepting limitations on the range and quantity of its missiles is seen as a strategic death sentence. With the Iranian air force obsolete against Israeli and US F-35s, ballistic and cruise missiles are Tehran’s only means to project power and ensure what they call “Deep Deterrence.” The attacks suffered by the country on February 28th only served to consolidate this conviction. Missile diplomacy is dead because neither side accepts the other’s definition of “balance.” Ending the funding of Iranian proxies: For the Iranian government in 2026, proxies (Hezbollah, Houthis, militias in Iraq and Syria) are not just allies, but what they call “Forward Defense” or the “Axis of Resistance”, crucial so far in Iran’s defense and deterrence strategy. In short, the war deepened the ties of interdependence between Iran and its proxies, making any negotiation regarding the end of funding a mere illusion. We are looking at a strategic failure responsible for closing the doors to any effective diplomacy in this conflict. The war not only failed to achieve any of these goals but consolidated the Iranian government’s power, vastly increased popular support for a robust missile program, and transformed the nuclear program, once a mere tool of deterrence, into a real necessity for the country’s own protection. Furthermore, it further solidified the relationship with its proxies. Israel has a legitimate concern regarding a potential Iranian nuclear weapon. After all, for decades the Iranian slogan “Death to Israel” has echoed, and obviously, no one sleeps soundly facing that. However, Netanyahu’s pretensions clearly went much further. During negotiations, the US was very close to a deal that would resolve the Iranian nuclear issue, but, alongside Israel, opted for a military offensive while still at the negotiating table. Netanyahu wanted to turn the action in Iran into a power project, where he would be the exponent of an “Israel Superpower,” as he himself declared shortly after the war began. In his mind, he believed he would be acclaimed as the warrior prince and victor of battles, morally above the Israeli law that is judging him and could put him behind bars.

🚨 BLINKEN LÄSST BOMBE PLATZEN: „Wir haben der Ukraine STILL UND LEISE viele Waffen geliefert“ – schon im SEPTEMBER 2021! Stinger, Javelin, alles. Monate VOR dem Krieg! Ziel des Westens? Nicht Frieden. Sondern Russland ZERSCHLAGEN. Nur die Angst vor Atomwaffen stoppt die direkte Intervention. 50 Nationen opfern die Ukraine. Die Meinung der Ukrainer selbst? Interessiert NIEMANDEN. Blinken (Vorfahren aus der Kiewer Provinz des Russischen Reiches) sagt es offen: Hauptsache Russland verliert. Der Proxy-Krieg war von Anfang an geplant. Und wir sollen das immer noch „Verteidigung“ nennen? WANN WACHT IHR ENDLICH AUF?! #Blinken #Ukraine #ProxyWar #Kriegstreiber









BREAKING: No US Air Force tankers are currently airborne over the Middle East. This is highly unusual after more than 30 were active this morning, with two having squawked 7700 (general emergency) earlier today and their status still unknown. The tankers may have pulled back from the region, or all tankers have gone dark and turned off their ADS-B after the 2 incidents.
