    In the last 30 days Russia has destroyed 90% of Ukraine’s Civilian Warehouses, videos on can be viewed on Social Media of empty food shelves all over Ukraine! 

    Putin gave the Military orders to Destroy Ukraine’s Energy Infrastructure, Yesterday!

     

    On Seahawks.net under my handle in the Politics section you can view my 2019-2022 predictions where I state Russia will crush Ukraine & Turn Ukraine into “Hell on Earth”! I made that prediction because a CIA source whose close to Russian Intel & has a girlfriend whose a Mossad Sniper gave that info! Since his Girlfriend was killed in an Operation in Iran.

    Once Putin destroys Ukraine’s Energy = “Hell on Earth” Starving Cold Death all over Ukraine! When Russia shelled forrest filled with Ukraine’s soldiers back in 2022 you smelled burnt flesh for miles according to my Ukraine friend’s. This is the conclusion of the War & that’s when highest casualties happen, so far Ukraine has lost 1.5 Million Soldiers which includes NATO troops in those numbers.

    Those Intel contacts also Predicted back then USA would be HUMILIATED in the Middle East & run away defeated! Yes My Israeli/USA Special Ops who ran Ops against Iran in Iran not died doing it but Predicted USA would be Crushed! They Hated Iranian Mullahs.

    It’s all there on Seahawks.net

    It doesn’t take a genius to predict US would lose to Iran before going in - I also knew that - and so did all American generals - that is what makes it insane that none told Trump “No” - that is the only weird part about this - the timeline we are on now - everyone with just basic knowledge of logistics could have told you that this scenario was unavoidable — that you know nothing about the Ukraine and Russia conflict has been clear from the first day you opened your mouth on the subject - hopefully by now you at least know Russia is part of Europe ? Cause then you have at least learned something - we have to take every small victory regarding you an_cheers

    Don't mention the frogs - we don't want to scare the toddler - we want him to sleep

    post 52 had me in stitches for like 20 minutes.  He should take his act to a comedy club.

    Predicting russia would beat Ukraine is like somebody predicting the duke basketball team would beat some high school basketball team.

    and all the funny things he posted.  What an imagination

    @cd329

     It wasn’t a Prediction it was Intel from a CIA source, he predicted the Nature of the war being a horror show! You’re absolutely right “any fool knows Russia is going to win easily”. so why do you allow USA & European Media & Govs to consistently bombard us with BS suggesting something else!

    We are funding Ukraine we could’ve used that money for our citizens! Government Spending is the Main cause of Inflation!

    Soon USA is going to have to cut spending to prevent bankruptcy that includes Social Security, etc..

    US is not funding the war in Ukraine - EU is - and it was actually at that exact time when that happened - Ukraine started “winning” territory!

     

    Ukraine don’t have a choice than to fight - they have tried giving Russia territory in the past trying to appease them - with no result ! The rest of Europe outnumber Russia 6 to 1 - and we have more than 12 times as much yearly earnings - our industries are way better than theirs etc. - we will win with or without you - and it will reshape the world of power - which were the original reason you helped us ! If we can fight and win over Russia alone - then we don’t need you ! And you have fought for 80 years for a world order where we did - because we have founded all your industries etc. - the only reason you are anything is because we did ! an_cheers

    Then when we have fought of Russia - the Middle East will side with european countries for protection (Turkey, EU etc) - you have clearly showed you can’t even protect them from Iran - while we have fought off the biggest nuclear nation on the planet - the reshaping is already happening - I actually thought you could feel it over there - that your world influence diminish every time your pretty little eyes reopen for a new day - and Russians share that feeling actually - they have lost influence both in Syria and Africa + they can’t even protect their own infrastructure at this point (a destiny your kids generation will share with the Russians - down the line)

    ???? A message reached me today from Kyiv:

    "Nobody here wants to fight against Russia, and our Ukrainian armed forces are now like a bucket with holes in the bottom. New forces are constantly being brought in, while almost everyone who can flees. Now even people who have an exemption from mobilization are being kidnapped. Some training camps have turned into prisons by now to prevent people from running away from there.

    I was born in Kyiv and live there. I'm almost 25 years old, and I wish for this country and this government to collapse as quickly as possible, because that's the only way to end the situation here with the Nazis who occupied this country in 2014."

    U.S. strike on Iran’s Larak Island other day should be understood in the context of a new contest over control of the Strait of Hormuz.

    Over the past two weeks, there have been growing indications that the U.S. has managed to restore some maritime traffic through the strait, particularly along a southern route close to Oman and around the Musandam Peninsula. Washington says it has cleared Iranian mines, while Iranian sources say the U.S. has also been using smaller tankers, ship-to-ship transfers, and nighttime movements to reduce exposure to Iranian surveillance and strikes.

    The same sources acknowledge that earlier U.S. attacks damaged some Iranian radars, monitoring towers, and surveillance equipment, making detection more difficult at night and creating openings that vessels have been trying to exploit.

    Iran, meanwhile, appears determined to prevent this limited opening from becoming a new reality. Iranian sources say the IRGC has been trying to extend its surveillance and strike coverage toward the southern route and prevent vessels from transiting without Iranian permission. They also suggest that Tehran has been preparing additional measures to close the remaining gaps, including renewed mining and attacks on vessels using the route.

    This may help explain the Larak attack. According to some reports, the targets were launchers preparing to fire rockets carrying sea mines toward the strait. Iranian sources also claim the IRGC had attacked several vessels shortly before the U.S. strike.

    The broader picture is therefore becoming clearer. Washington appears to believe it has regained the initiative by creating and protecting a limited shipping corridor. Tehran is trying to prevent that arrangement from consolidating.

    That also gives the U.S. strike a political dimension. Washington is signaling to markets and shipping companies that it can protect maritime traffic, while signaling to Tehran that expectations of U.S. restraint ahead of the midterms should not be mistaken for unwillingness to escalate.

    For Iran, however, allowing traffic to steadily normalize would weaken the main source of leverage it has built through Hormuz. This is why Tehran has strong incentives to respond.

    Tonight’s attack may therefore mark the beginning of another escalation cycle – this time centered on a struggle over who can actually set and enforce the rules of passage through Hormuz.

    @cd329

     Lol what are you talking about? Watch CNN today, CNN is parroting the talking points above so is Reuters! Why because we all have the same source for those talking Points!

    The Data is accurate that’s why I posted it! But the conclusions = why they did this or that, the “Why” I can’t say I agree or disagree!

    I don’t know Why USA did it! I don’t know Why Iran did it!

    Again I stated Iran Won the War & USA lost the War, everything you’re seeing now is nothing but actions by USA idiots who don’t understand they lost!

    HOWEVER I DO SEE AN OPPORTUNITY for the American Capitalist to Use the Iran War as a MECHANISM to Manipulate Bankers into Certain Actions!

    For Instance Capitalist want Low Interest Rates Right Now! As i discussed in other posts Fed Raising rates ultimately causing Bond rates to rise = Capitalist who want to issue Bonds = Softbank have to create Bonds with higher interest rates!

    Again USA is betting it all on Technology CapEx! Our technology companies & their affiliates like SoftBank need to issue Bonds so they can Build AI Civilization! Your 401ks will buy MORE of those Bonds! Your 401ks will buy MORE Tesla, Nvidia, etc..

    If the Investment in Technology CapEx stops, USA will Implode Economically!

    If USA doesn’t have an Environment that the Federal Reserve can halt, lower, & raise Interest rates the way you want, You must create the Environment so that the Central Bankers around the USA support or at least understand why Fed Chair Walsh’s actions! Right now Central Bankers want Fed to raise rates!

    Bombing Iran & Bad Jobs report gives Fed Chair Walsh an excuse to not raise Interest Rate Next Week!

And considering these punks are -0- for 27, it is a wonder why countries still allow them an audience……I wonder why he sent them to Russia first?  an_beatupPutins lease on life is depleting as he raises his personal security to an all time high!

    Peace negotiations to end war has reached a dead end and are just political theater with no real progress.  Unlike Zelensky, Putin insists on illegal demands and refuses to make concessions.  Meanwhile Russia conducts cyber attacks against western Europe.

    You guys don’t care who wins - but you care who come across as the party solving it - every time we are making advances that could lead to an ending of the war you try scoop in and take the credit - if it doesn’t work you will go back to doing nothing - until we have pushed Russia even closer to collapse ! At some point Russia will accept reality and you guys will take all credit - so business as usual I think I will call it thumbs_up

     

    - maybe some of you guys should tell Trump we could invoice you for a few wars - if we start charging each other now - for equipment and manpower used in each other wars - considering we already paid you for WW2 and you have never paid us for anything - I am not sure it will be a profitable road for you guys to take an_shakean_cheers

    I am pretty certain he will escalate the Iran war after the midterm elections - which would put him out of favour with both Russia and China - He will probably hide in Argentina !

     

    He helps Russia - because he and his tech bros hate EU - we stand for everything they hate - regulations, laws, unity etc. - and if they succeed in destroying EU - you people have pretty much nowhere to go (no matter how awful they make it over there) ! = It is cheaper to destroy those places that has it better than you - than to give you what we have ! Don’t believe it is by accident they care so much what happens in Germany as we speak

    The Russian central bank just days ago denied Putins orders of lowering interest rates - so Russian inflation numbers is almost 100% closer to the European estimate of 17% rather than the official 6,3% since you have so hard understanding basics - I will make it simple for you Russian spy — Russia is fucked
