War

War is serious business, it comes with responsibilities and with an aftermath. Just like the fact that at present 2,500 soldiers are on route to Iran with a stated 2,500 soldiers to follow. I had a different scenario in mind, one that might not have required boots on the ground, But I am a no one. I don’t matter. But there is no fun in war. The consequences on both fronts tend to be horrible. I have always known that, I saw the impact personally and lets leave it at that. So the president who gave us ‘Trump accuses Starmer of seeking to ‘join wars after we’ve already won’’, we see that in the BBC (and many other newspapers, at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9dn3j04lydo) and this was a week ago. Consider those words “join wars after we’ve already won” and a little over a day after we get “Donald Trump said on Saturday that the United States may carry out more strikes on Iran’s vital Kharg Island oil export hub “just for fun”, rejecting the prospect of a swift peace deal with Tehran.” He is going to hit a place ‘just for fun’? What is he? 12? It comes across as empty as me proclaiming that I’ll hit 15010 NE 36th St, Redmond, WA 98052, United States with a nuclear bomb, just so that Satya Nadella bends the knee and learn some manners concerning our privacy. It is empty, hollow and has no business in war statements. 

Now consider that President Trump gives us ‘Trump urges UK and other nations to send warships to Strait of Hormuz’ a mere 18 hours ago. So what do we see? The war is not won, the powers that be in the defence department of the United States of America have no idea what they are doing and that is the message they are sending to the gulf states? This is probably the first time that the gulf states are considering that USA bases on their lands are a bad idea. I wonder how long it will take China to offer a setting of peace by allowing their bases on these spaces. You see all things have consequences and the worst are the ones done by players who have no idea what they are doing. It is nice in a poker game, because they get plucked right from the bat. In war there are larger considerations. I am not one of those ‘Epstein’ conspiracy people. I am of the mind that America is desperate for the oil Iran has, which I scuttled in the last 2 days by voicing that the 10 refineries Iran has needed to be bombed (with due haste) and after they hit the gulf states, they might support my point of view. Because these refineries in the hands of the United States might have larger consequences, the ones we do not applaud or look forward to.

So, whilst we were given (by the BBC) that “Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Saturday that “many countries” would be sending warships in conjunction with the US to help keep the strait “open and safe”. He claimed “100% of Iran’s military capability” had already been destroyed, but that Tehran could still “send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close-range missile somewhere along, or in, this waterway”.” Which is nice as we were given as Politico gave us less than an hours ago ‘Gulf Arab states intercept new missiles and drones as Iran threatens to widen war’, which makes me wonder if President Trump knows the meaning of 100%. That implies they have all military capabilities scuttled (or drowned), but as attacks are still coming, and as the United States ‘needs’ others to come in and send warships, the setting of 100% is massively debatable. And we are given (via Politico at https://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/15/gulf-arab-states-intercept-new-missiles-and-drones-as-iran-threatens-to-widen-war-00829221) “President Donald Trump said he hoped countries reliant on oil and gas exports would send warships to secure the Strait of Hormuz. None responded with firm commitments by Sunday, though some said they were considering action. Israel said it continued to strike Iran on Sunday as Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE told residents they were working to intercept incoming projectiles, a day after Iran threatened three Emirati ports, the first time it has done so against a neighboring country’s non-U.S. assets.” The game chances to some extent, as the united States is showing itself to be no closer to a clue on how to wage war, the pressure will soon come on Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE to end solutions for their citizens. It is my personal view that this is a setting that China could press to push the United States out of the Middle East. Soon they might actually become the minor player in a band with Russia and Iran to survive, where Iran could offer the USA a barrel of oil every time it states ‘Polly want a cracker’ OK, this is mean, but the setting is there and consider that it could show that his Department of War is a bigger failure then it was in 1949 when President Truman was one of the people to make it the Department of Defense. That is the setting we see today and I wonder if the United States is hungry for a president that is showing to (apparently) set personal gains over the needs of the people of the United States (just asking).

So when we look at the statement in the BBC article where we see “In the meantime, the United States will be bombing the hell out of the shoreline, and continually shooting Iranian Boats and Ships out of the water. One way or the other, we will soon get the Hormuz Strait OPEN, SAFE, and FREE!” Which gives is the little thought “How many Minesweepers did the American Navy deploy?” Because that becomes the next setting. This is seen as the Japan Times (at https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/03/13/world/iran-laying-mines-hormuz-uk/) two days ago gives us ‘Iran has likely begun laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, U.K. says’ with “It’s becoming increasingly evident that Iran is laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, according to the U.K., as Iran’s new supreme leader used his first comments to the media to say the critical waterway should stay closed.” And the Guardian gives us a mere 4 hours ago ‘UK may send ships and mine-hunting drones to help open strait of Hormuz, says Miliband’ with “Britain is considering sending ships and mine-hunting drones to the Middle East in an attempt to reopen the strait of Hormuz, Ed Miliband has said. The energy secretary confirmed on Sunday that ministers were talking to their allies about how the UK could help secure the vital waterway after the US president, Donald Trump, urged Britain and other countries to deploy ships to the region.” So now a small consideration, when did President Trump (or its lackey Pete Hegseth) give is the rundown on deploying minesweepers? They might not sound sexy, but they tend to keep shipping lanes decently free of mines. A critical need in War efforts and the strait of Hormuz is a bottleneck, as such essential. Where is that newscast? Just Asking?

I personally see several openings for China to become the settlers of hardship in the Gulf and as President Trump is making a mess of things, Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China might consider that this is the best time to kick the United States of America out of the Middle East, perhaps they will still have a base near Tel Aviv, but that would be about it. And that is speculation, or I prefer to think it is presumption. The mess that is shown over the last two weeks shows that the United States of America (with its Department of War) seemingly have lost their grips of reality, because who bombs an already bombed place ‘Just for fun’ consider that these bombs cost an alleged $200,000-$350,000 per run and that includes logistics plus an additional $18.95 for coffee and cakes. 

So (according to the BBC) President Trump gave on Saturday “He repeated his appeal in a post later on Saturday – extending it to all “the Countries of the World that receive Oil through the Hormuz Strait” – and said the US would provide “a lot” of support to those who participated.” So, why? He had won the war 100%, so why was this needed and for reference, how many minesweepers did the United States deploy before that point? Simple questions and anyone who attended the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis would have known this. So, why allegedly didn’t Pete Hegseth know this?

These might seem simple questions, but they have had a massive impact on the gulf states, especially the UAE as it has faced over 1,600 Iranian-launched drones have been engaged or detected by UAE air defenses as well as 294 ballistic missiles and 15 cruise missiles. Simple numbers that apparently the United Stated have had little say over, even if they defeated the IRGC 100%. As such there is a chance that the Chinese flag will proudly wave in gulf states soon enough. That is not set in stone, but tactically there is every chance of that, but what am I saying, the people at the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis should be telling Pete Hegseth this as well, whether he will tell President Trump is another matter. 

Have a great day.

Feeding the press B

That is as simple as I see it. AP News gives us a mere two hours ago ‘Tehran claims the US attacked it from the UAE as Iran war enters its third week’, everyone knows this is a lie, because neither the UAE or Saudi Arabia allows attacks by the United States to start from their lands. This was said from the very beginning (before the bombing started). I reckon that this is their ‘retaliation’ for the UAE to close down the Iranian sites in the UAE (like a club, schools and the embassy staff reduced to a skeleton staff) and Iran is not happy about that and it is reacting like a disagreeable child. So we are given (at https://apnews.com/article/iran-iraq-us-trump-march-14-2026-oil-prices-a2399398b4c590995b814d7640362a11) “Hours later, there was no sign of an attack on Dubai’s Jebel Ali port — the Mideast’s busiest — or the Khalifa port in Abu Dhabi. But debris from an intercepted Iranian drone hitting an oil facility sparked a fire at the third port, in Fujairah.” And we are also given “A diplomatic adviser to the UAE’s president, Anwar Gargash, said on social media the country has the right to defend itself but “still prioritizes reason and logic, and continues exercising restraint” the escalation setting is already active as we are given “A U.S. official said Friday that 2,500 more Marines with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit and the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli were being sent to the Middle East, adding to the military’s largest buildup of warships and aircraft in the region in decades. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military plans. Marine Expeditionary Units can conduct amphibious landings but also specialize in bolstering security at embassies, evacuating civilians and providing disaster relief. The deployment doesn’t necessarily indicate that a ground operation will take place. The Wall Street Journal first reported the Marine deployment.” Other reports state that this is the first of two 2,500 military deployments. I reckon that it will fuel a few disasters. I am saying this because the media (not the most trustworthy ones) are giving us that the United States has no grounded plan and no strategy in place. I wonder if any general would push their troops under those conditions, but that is the setting. I merely wish that my IP would be released onto Iran by Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I believe that in trendy steps (set out by Sun Tzu) there is a stage any army will employ. You optionally FIRST attack infrastructure and transportation, then you come in guns blazing. Destroy Irans oil (so no income), then their infrastructure (so no resupplying) and then the blazing guns (not to be mistaken with Blazing Saddles, a tactic that Mel Brooks invented). When an army faces the setting of ‘this is all there is’ just before an army comes knocking. They tend to get demoralized really quickly, which is a setting that is never to be underestimated.

Then Al Jazeera (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/14/iran-continues-intensified-attacks-across-gulf-in-us-israel-war-fallout) gives us ‘Iran continues intensified attacks across Gulf in US-Israeli war fallout’ where we see “Fire breaks out at UAE’s major Fujairah oil hub, as Iran vows retaliation for US attack on Kharg Island.” It is nice to see a nation that is clueless as the UAE has not aggressively acted against Iran, as such I am happy to give my IP to the UAE, so that they have options. So as we see “In the UAE’s Fujairah emirate, a fire broke out at a major bunkering hub after debris fell during the interception of a drone, the emirate’s media office said on Saturday. It added that a Jordanian citizen was lightly injured in the incident.” So how many drones and missiles were deployed? And Iran merely has one Jordanian (not even a UAE citizen) to show for this. How desperate have they become? And we are also given “Fujairah, outside the Strait of Hormuz, is the outlet for about one million barrels per ‌day of the UAE’s Murban crude oil – a volume equal to about 1 percent of world demand.” So, what is Iran planning? And all this before there are 5,000 boots on the ground. I reckon that if my solution takes away their 13,000 KM railway, they will learn what desperation really looks like. There is an argument that there is ‘validity’ in “Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Saturday that US interests in the UAE, including ports, docks and military locations, are legitimate targets after US forces attacked Iranian islands, Iranian state media reported.” You see, Iran launched 1,500 drones and over 250 missiles and they were largely on UAE targets, on civilian targets. As I see it, the IRGC has dealt with Hamas and Hezbollah lies for so long, they must think the rest of the world is comprise of fools. The media pool is not that big and the rest of the world will OK whatever the UAE will see as valid to keep their citizens safe. 

So as the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/mar/13/iran-war-news-live-updates-us-israel-middle-east-crisis-latest) gives us ‘Oil targets in spotlight as Iran war enters second week – as it happened’, I and rather happy to have published ‘Regurgitation’ 20 hours ago showing Iran that Saudi Arabia has a nice option to take out all 10 refineries and it comes at a speculated cost of $50K-$100K per refinery (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/03/14/regurgitating/). So how much revenue would Iran lose through that. I personally believe that the IP is a steal at twice the price, but as I see it, $500K-$1M as investment to stop Iran getting its daily revenue of a estimated $45 million to $60 million. Invest 2% to stop the revenue of Iran? People might die happy going to sleep at night. And it makes for great headlines (the press wants its pound of meat). And there is a second setting that the Guardian gives. With “Trump said he had chosen not to wipe out the oil infrastructure on Kharg Island, which serves as the export terminal for 90% of Iran’s oil shipments. But he added: “Should Iran, or anyone else, do anything to interfere with the Free and Safe Passage of Ships through the Strait of Hormuz, I will immediately reconsider this decision.”” I have speculated on the fact that the United States are massively broke. First they try to go after Canada, then Greenland and then they take Venezuela (which has useless oil), now they are trying to get to the Iranian oil. And there are optional settings. There was  David Kelly, JP Morgan, OCT2025 stating ‘America is ‘going broke slowly’ and I had that setting already said it in ‘The meme of nothing’ which I wrote on December 17th 2024 (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2024/12/17/the-meme-of-nothing/) and a few times before that. And still the media at large has not picked up on this, it is almost like the Epstein files made them blind of the reality of things and as I see it, the gulf states are the victim of this all, hence the idea to just take all the Iranian refineries out of the equation. It might not be subtle, but it seemingly gives Saudi Arabia and the UAE breathing space. Consider that the 38 trillion dollar debt gives the United States a more than 1 trillion dollar interest bill with projections showing it could exceed $2.1 trillion annually by 2036. Now consider that the United States collected $5.23 trillion in 2025. Now consider that over 19% of all collected taxation is used to pay for the ANNUAL interest. As such the American budget becomes less and less because America hasn’t been able to keep a budget since President Clinton, it has been that long and it is only getting worse for the people in the United States. That is the setting the media is avoiding. They are not even seriously debunking that setting, not since October 2025. I wonder why. 

Have a great day today.

Regurgitating

That is the setting that I am faced with. It comes after a string of articles and LinkedIn messages thrown my way. The first setting is an article I wrote on June 14th 2025. It was called ‘Droning right along’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2025/06/14/droning-right-along/) and it was a speculative view on how Iran (a.k.a. Houthi terrorists) could have hit Aramco to such a degree. Of course as Iran is now attacking Saudi Arabia, this speculation could be staged AGAINST Iran and I have no trouble handing over the thoughts (optionally IP) to Saudi Arabia. To get to this stage it helps if you read the article ‘Droning right along’ so I don’t need to repeat myself (again and again). The setting comes from a how I saw a year ago, and way before then.

I was contemplating how these drones could be this ‘articulate’ and it came to me that these drones have their neighbours in electronic view as they got through motion after motion. So, as each light dot of the dragon is a drone, you can see how this is done, 2 checks 1, 3 checks 2, 4 checks 3 and 2 and as such we get a dragon. It is meticulously planned. For Iran we don’t need so much meticulous planning, we merely need to have the satellite image of a plant. Lets say the Persian Gulf Star Refinery, an Iranian oil refinery in the city of Bandar Abbas.

I set the premise of a master pilot (red square) and its slaves (squares) they have their slaves (dots) and as such one pilot manages in this case 2+12 slaves. When deployment commences and they are at their point of dispersal (the big globe) the other two squares (Blue and Magenta) take their slaves go to their destination and guide their slaves to their destinations too (this software already exists, hence the dragon image). Now as they reach their destination in 3-5 seconds They all explode (I am guessing two claymores per drone) and that will set most of the refinery on fire. It gives Iran no time to react, because when the sound comes to their ears it is already too late and these drones are relatively small and almost undetectable. As such I am speculating that less than $50K will do millions of damage and stops that refinery from creating any output for the near future. Do this 9 more times and the revenue creating streams of Iran are lost beyond believe and I still have hight hopes for my naval and railway IP to create additional millions of damage. So whilst we see that the United States and Israel are making victory claims. Saudi Arabia, the UAE and several others are still under attack and it is my believe that to hurt Iran requires the stopping of their export and it is more than mere export harbours (although that would stop some coins coming into their pockets). So, whilst we now see: “Japan must protect its own tankers as Trump demands an end to military freeloading. Pressure is mounting on Prime Minister Takaichi to deploy the Self-Defense Forces to the Middle East.” Freeloading? Japan never attacked Iran and whilst we see Iran as the guilty party, there is no setting of freeloading. Anyway the United States claimed that this war was already won, as such the Gulf States might have difficult times ahead and whilst I am not a person of brawn, I do have the creative insight to do something and I am happily handing all this IP (or idea’s) to both Saudi Arabia and the UAE (I know no-one in Qatar) and I believe that Saudi Arabia and UAE specifically are being harmed beyond acceptable settings and as such I hand these ideas (optionally IP) to these two countries. Some may claim that they have won the war, I merely extend my knowledge to other so that they can win the war. And my perspective is simple. Infrastructure, transportation and manufacturing will be the best targets to stop Iran from what it is doing and their words ‘to not attack gulf states’ is as hollow as the victory claims by some. So I have to step up to aid those who might need it and to give clear signals that we stand with them  (in this case Saudi Arabia and the UAE) this idea goes to Saudi Arabia as it has faced Iranian attacks since long before March 25th 2022, as such it is only fair that they get to attack the refineries in Iran. I am an oversimplified assistant in all this. 

As such you all have a great day as I will enjoy the rest of my Saturday.

Labels

We like them in one way and we usually dislike them when they are applied on ones self. So here I was (several hours ago) and I saw an article pass by. The title looked OK, but the content was anything nothing like that. So lets take a look at the article. It is Solidarity (at https://solidarity.net.au/highlights/the-sordid-world-of-australia-and-the-uae/) where we see ‘The sordid world of Australia and the UAE’ and it starts with my first question ‘What is sordid?’ It means “involving immoral or dishonourable actions and motives”, as I see it, both the UAE and Australia are as far as I know not involved in immoral (or dishonourable) actions. But lets give the writer a chance. Perhaps this is something I never knew (not really). So we get the first setting. “The Albanese Government’s rush to give “defensive military support” to the dictatorial United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the Persian Gulf” as I expected it goes downhill from the start. First there is “dictatorial United Arab Emirates (UAE)” dictatorial means “typical of a ruler with total power”, as such the article is a lie from the start. The United Arab Emirates is for a better term an elective semi-constitutional monarchy and it is governed by President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and it has Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan as vice presidents. Do you really think that this is a nation with a ruler with total power? So, we see in several descriptions that  “The UAE is an authoritarian state but generally liberal by regional standards.” I see it as an oxymoron (not the same as an American), a ruler with total power and liberal by regional standards? It seems that the labels do not match correctly. I see it that there is some authoritarian settings due to Islamic law, but unlike Saudi Arabia the UAE has 74.5% Islam (official), 12.9% Christianity, 6.2% Hinduism, 3.2% Buddhism, 1.3% Agnosticism and 1.9% other. It is my speculative guess that the 1.9% are britons who identified as either Hogwarts students or Jedi’s (but that is my weird sense of humor acting up). 

So then we are given “On 8 March, on the ABC’s Insiders program, when asked to which country would Australia send “military assistance”, Nine journalist Peter Hartcher, responded, “I think the most likely candidate is the UAE because the Australia-UAE relationship has very quietly involved military co-operation for a very long time. “The Al Minhad airbase, which was hit by an Iranian missile a couple of days ago, is where the Australian Air Force operates from in the Middle East.”Indeed six days earlier, Defence Minister Richard Marles was pressed by journalists to admit that Iranian drones had hit the Al Minhad Air Base (AMAB) and that there were no casualties.” It is followed by “The Australian Strategic Policy Institute, a Canberra defence think-tank, wrote that the CEPA saw “the elevation of the UAE–Australia relationship to a strategic partner”. “In 2024, Australia’s non-oil trade with the UAE reached US$4.2 billion.” It continued, “Meanwhile, two-way investment stock stood at $US16 billion by the end of 2024, with $US3 billion of direct investment in Australia from the UAE.”” As I see it, a mutually beneficial investment setting, one that could be beneficial to Australia and deliver optional hardware to the UAE. 

Then we get “The UAE’s military purchases from Australia are being used to vie for control in war-torn Sudan. In Sudan, Russia is on the UAE’s side, while a range of sub-imperial Middle East powers are lined against it, such as Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye. In 2015, the UAE had lined up with Saudi Arabia to carve up Yemen. But by late 2025 they had fallen out with each other.” So where is the evidence of that? It is a simple question. The story was written by Tom Orsag and as I see it, just another rebel without a clue. As labels go, that is the one I am wielding. It is another side of labels. I don’t know this Tom Orsag, never met him and from what I read, I don’t like him much. My reasoning? “In 2015, the UAE had lined up with Saudi Arabia to carve up Yemen.” I might not be the most political grape in the cluster, but as I see it, both Saudi Arabia and the UAE got in this to deal with the Houthi terrorists. I do know they had a falling out, but I know too little on the Yemen situation to give a Rin down on that, what I do know is that both were against the Houthi terrorists. In finale we get “Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem had shared a “torture video” with Epstein. The UAE is among the corrupt Arab ruling classes circling Gaza as part of the Trump’s ghoulish “Board of Peace”.” Where is the evidence that “The UAE is among the corrupt Arab ruling classes circling Gaza”? It is a simple enough question. The setting of “Arab ruling classes circling Gaza” might be correct, Largely the UAE is Muslim, that doesn’t make them corrupt. For one, Christianity is the most corrupt religion in history (as far as I can tell), so what is this article beyond setting the readers against the UAE? Lets be clear the UAE has become one of the most powerful investment houses for all within the last 50 years. Everyone wants to be there and everyone wants to strike it rich, from investors to influencers. They all have an axe to grind with the proverbial profit setting and Iran isn’t helping any. As such I created military IP and gave it to both Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I take delight into destroying the infrastructure of anyone attacking civilian targets. And as I see it, harbours and railways are excellent ways to cripple the IRGC, bombing the 10 refineries might also help as they create income for Iran. The one fact that I can prove of is “Last October, Albanese visited the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi, to sign the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA). This signing coincided with the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries.” It is also a given fact, so that helps, but there is too little evidence and too much conjecture, which means “conclusion formed on the basis of incomplete information”, a setting that people like Tom Orsag like, they add their own conclusions to this and sell it as ‘journalism’, I admit this isn’t entirely incorrect. However, I believe more facts are required. So where did he get “Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem had shared a “torture video” with Epstein”? One of the other conspiracy theorists? As far as I know Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem is an Emirati businessman. The only ‘facts’ I see is that Bin Sulayem as one of six men whose names had been redacted from the Epstein files but whom Khanna had been able to identify after spending two hours viewing unredacted files at the United States Department of Justice. This is gotten the from the Guardian as far as I know, and the Guardian is a good newspaper, but I am reliant on evidence and there is too little of it. 

And when we see these kind of articles, the standard of the Guardian is pulled down as well. We can look at labs all we can, but there is a hindsight of that, labels are massively inaccurate, they are merely handy in setting our own failing sets of standards. OK, that is not always correct, but that is how I see it. What does matter is that there are faces trying to break up the UAE and Australia. This is not a good thing, especially when it is done with rumor, conjecture and visible inaccuracies. A populist setting that for the most of the time benefits the wrong parties and even if I am not an Albanese fan. He has never done anything immoral or dishonourable, I’m merely not a Labor fan. As far as I can tell, there is nothing wrong with the UAE. I am not commenting on the Sudan war as I know nothing of it, but this article is loaded with terms like ‘Barbarous US’ (which is only partially true, because not all Americans are Karens or Vegans) and ‘a range of sub-imperial Middle East powers’ it sounds nice but the problem with labels is that they tend to be different from person to person and as these labels are warped into a populist setting, take 100 people and over 60 will have a slightly different meaning for it, it is how populism works but when the news and journalists handle populist settings, the problem increases, not decreases, or properly informs the wider audience. I might be wrong, but that is how I see it.

Have a great day, it’s almost time for me to enjoy Saturday.

Keep this in mind

As I was looking at ‘the news’ a few things hit me. The first one was the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/11/the-shine-has-been-taken-off-dubai-faces-existential-threat-as-foreigners-flee-conflict) where we see ‘‘The shine has been taken off’: Dubai faces existential threat as foreigners flee conflict’ I have to disagree as I have seen some crypto boys run for their lives, but they don’t amount to anything. The internet (Youtube specifically) is flooding with people enjoying life in Abu Dhabi (Dubai too). So when I read “leaving beach bars, malls and hotels eerily empty” This gives me the mind on how it was a year ago? You see, Islamic nations are in the middle of Ramadan, as such these places are massively empty during the day and I reckon that malls have a similar standing. I wonder what the attempt was by writer Hannah Ellis-Petersen (who claims to be in Dubai). I am not saying that is a lie (or an exaggeration) I am merely asking how the public goes to the places during Ramadan. I guess that some families would avoid Dubai and Abu Dhabi during these settings but to see “They are among the tens of thousands of residents and tourists that have fled Dubai since the US and Israel launched joint strikes on Iran almost two weeks ago.” I get that tourists are not in the ‘appeasing’ setting towards the hostilities of Iran and I get that. As I personally have Abu Dhabi on my bucket list (preferably intact) I still hope to see this place before my corpus delicti kicks the bucket (not the one with the list). It happens some cards fall out of reach, but I still hope that I will see this place, preferably staying at the Warner Brothers hotel and seeing my youthful idol Joker (Batman too). Still, the setting we are given “The Fairmont hotel, located on Dubai’s famed artificial palm tree-shaped island, home to mega-mansions, lavish hotels and upmarket beach clubs, was also dramatically hit.” Yet I also learned a few days ago that it had a mere $550 damage, as such what is this “dramatically hit” the Guardian is talking about? So when we get “I don’t want to be in Dubai any more, there is no business, we are earning nothing since this war, and I don’t see the tourism coming back. A lot of taxi drivers like me, we are thinking to go to a different country now. Everybody knows that Dubai is finished.”” I have no idea what that pussy was that was talking about, but I don’t believe that Dubai is finished. Neither are Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. If my IP works Saudi Arabia and the UAE will have plenty of damage to do to Iran and they should, because they were attacked by Iran. 

As such the setting intensifies and the hollow word from President Trump need to be ignored. As such I was thinking about the mines in the Strait of Hormuz. A thought had come to my mind. You see, there is a setting we ignore, there are different ways of detecting mines. But have lasers been used? You see, there todays lasers are a lot faster and consider the setting:

Now consider that no one looked at mines for the longest of times (as far as I know) and here we see a laser scanning to the bottom of the sea, it will not do so in a mere line. It can use arcs going up and down, the idea is that this is done with GPS and more accurate maps (which already exists) and now that mine shows up ‘brightly’ considering the setting with DML, mapping solutions and powerful computers, I personally feel that this should be a setting of easy. Peasy, chicken easy (I could be wrong). I haven’t worked on disposing, but I reckon the Navies of the world already have a setting here and I feel bad at reinventing the wheel. So this is the setting I currently see. So what is taking the United States nay this long? They had enough time to consider that and as President Trump stated that they have already won, this setting should not exist. 

So then we get to The Hill (at https://thehill.com/business/5779706-iran-qatar-financial-institutions/) where we see ‘Banks evacuate, close offices in Qatar, Dubai after Iran threatens attacks’ which is weird as the war is already won (isn’t it?) So as we get “Several banks urged their employees to evacuate offices in Qatar and the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday as Iran threatens to launch strikes on financial institutions. HSBC has closed all its branches in Qatar until further notice, citing safety precautions in a text message sent to clients, Reuters reported.” We can conclude that the United States hasn’t won anything and now the setting changes, because (as others have stated already) it seems that the United States seemingly cannot protect anyone in the gulf states. As such my other ideas will likely gain speed soon enough. So we get back to the Hill article where we also see “Citigroup and Standard Chartered also told their staff in Dubai to work from home amid the regional conflict, according to a memo reviewed by Reuters. 

Goldman Sachs issued the same warning to employees based at their offices in the Dubai International Financial Centre, Bloomberg reported.” This I can agree with, if it is possible to work from home, that setting might be preferable to many. It kinda sucks if you need to get things done at a bank, but a lot can be done by ATM and the UAE have plenty of those around. And as the Guardian also gives us ‘Iran escalates attacks on infrastructure and transport networks across the Gulf’ (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/11/iran-escalates-attacks-on-infrastructure-and-transport-networks-across-the-gulf) where we see “Iran dramatically escalated its strategy of striking civilian infrastructure and transport networks across the Gulf on Wednesday, attacking commercial ships and targeting Dubai’s international airport as US and Israeli warplanes launched new waves of strikes on the Islamic Republic.” I believe that time has come for the UAE and Saudi Arabia take the fight to Iran, there are 10 major operating oil refineries, take these out and there won’t be any money rolling into Iran any day soon. No matter what others say, they brought the war to the Gulf States and as such there will be a reconning as I personally see it. At least 5 nations were unprovoked under attack. I say two refineries each to quench the feeling of vendetta. There is no after Ramadan, Iran is attacking now, return is required and to honor Ramadan, these nations have sunset to sunrise to make Iran consider the hollow acts they performed on them. Seems fair doesn’t it?

Are there more actions that could be done? Well, my IP takes care of their infrastructure and they could be released on other targets too, but I don’t want to callously attack civilians (I don’t want to be seen as an Iranian), I believe that hurting the infrastructure as I saw it will cause months of delays and it will cost millions to set right and as I took in account land, sea and air. I think I have done my good deed for both Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I am sorry to say that I am not doing that from Abu Dhabi, but we all have our hardships, mine is on Sydney. 

Only 5 hours ago, we get a quote from CBS ‘Trump vows to end war soon as Iran hits ships, threatens banks, and toll on U.S. forces emerges’, which is weird, because he told the PM of the United Kingdom that the war was already won, so something is amiss and I am playing the fool here with intent. You see, to make him show his real colors the Gulf stated merely have to take the 10 refineries out of the equation. I am a devious devil (Lucifer Morningstar told me that himself) and there are at least three little snippet hidden in this story. So whilst CBS gives us “The speed and extent of the damage have so concerned Iran and Lebanon that they sent a request to the United Nations’ cultural agency, UNESCO, this week to add more sites to its enhanced protection list.” I think that this is a bogus act and should be ignored. The setting here is simple as Iran attacks civilian targets in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraq, Qatar and a few other places. They should not be able to ask for any protection, they started this they can lose whatever is hit. But that might be the anger speaking in me. So when we consider the CBS story (at https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/iran-war-us-israel-strait-of-hormuz-ship-attacks-persian-gulf-drones-missiles/) A setting that could evolve, but as long as Iran keeps on attacking other nations that never allowed for the United States to launch any attacks against Iran, others can attack Iranian targets as much as they can, but that might merely be my view on the matter.

Have a great day you all.

Coloring glasses

That happens, it happens to us all. We see lines from others and it colors how we see things. It isn’t always given and it isn’t always handed to us. We need to come across these settings. Some coloring adheres to our own thought and some of it was not projected at all, but it makes sense and that is where points of view are created. Here I was almost ready to talk more about the next RPG setting when two articles hit me, one was merely someone telling us about his consideration on LinkedIn, the source doesn’t seem to be too impactful. The media is too courtesan driven towards the digital dollar, so they mostly lost credibility. There are a few exceptions mind you, but in this sea in turmoil of Yuan seeking entities, there is a need for reliable information. And I am no different, I might not be the wisest person on the planet (not by a long shot) but I do try to vet my sources (as much as possible), as such I try to find two sources of information as much as possible. This isn’t always possible, but that is my worry.

The first source is from Djoomart Otorbaev who was a Former Prime Minister of the Kyrgyz Republic, as such he knows a lot more about the region that I would ever had. He gives us:

Regime Change? The West Just Created a Harder Iran.
For years, #Washington and #TelAviv believed the same thing: pressure, isolation, and a decisive military blow could break the Iranian regime from within.
Instead, they just made it stronger-and more radical.
The appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of the slain Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has shattered the central strategic assumption behind the war.
The opposite has happened. By elevating Mojtaba Khamenei to Supreme Leader, Iran’s power structure has effectively consolidated around the hard-line security establishment, particularly the Islamic Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Reformists and moderates—already weakened—are now politically irrelevant.
The message from #Tehran is unmistakable: there will be no surrender. For the #US and #Israel, this is a strategic failure. The expectation was that decapitation strikes would either paralyse the regime or ignite internal revolt. Instead, the regime replaced its leader within hours and escalated militarily across the Persian #Gulf.
The symbolism matters.
During the Israeli strike on February 28, Mojtaba Khamenei reportedly lost not only his father but also his mother, his wife, and his son. If The White House hoped the new leader would seek compromise, it profoundly misunderstood the psychology of power in #Iran.
Personal loss in revolutionary systems rarely produces moderation. It produces vengeance.
Donald Trump has already dismissed Mojtaba as “unacceptable” and even called him weak. But inside Iran’s security apparatus the reality appears very different. Mojtaba has long-standing ties to the IRGC and reportedly enjoys strong backing among its younger and more radical commanders. In other words, the war may have elevated precisely the faction the West feared most. Operationally, Iran’s response has also revealed a deliberate strategy. Ali Larijani, now the central figure coordinating national security decisions, has overseen retaliatory strikes against targets across the Gulf. This is not the behavior of a collapsing regime.
It is just a horizontal escalation-expanding the conflict geographically and strategically to impose higher costs on a stronger opponent. History shows this tactic can work. It helped weaker states challenge American military power, for example, in #Vietnam and #Serbia. And Iran is now applying the same logic.
Ironically, the war appears to be producing something Washington never intended: a surge of Iranian nationalism.
Even many citizens who despise the regime are recoiling from the scale of destruction and the rhetoric suggesting that Iran itself could be dismantled.
Ironically, the war appears to be producing something Washington never intended: a surge of Iranian nationalism. The result is the worst possible strategic outcome for the West. And at its helm now stands a younger Khamenei-thirty years younger than the one who just died, and likely far less willing to compromise.
Regime change was supposed to weaken Iran.
Instead, it hardened it for a generation.

I believe him to give us the truth on what is happening and personally I am happy that I gave my military IP to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, they might need it and there is a larger setting that will evolve (I’ll get to that next), but the larger setting is again that President Trump has make the world stage a harder place for Americans. I can see this in myself. I auto disregard what he gives us as fact, I have never done that before regarding any US administration, but now I am on that setting. And I am not alone here.

Next we get to the Arab Weekly (at https://thearabweekly.com/lindsey-graham-got-his-war-he-has-no-idea-what-comes-next) where we see ‘Lindsey Graham got his war. He has no idea what comes next’ and we are given “A single senator, with no formal role in the chain of command, served as one of the primary architects of the most consequential American military action in decades.” I described that 2 days ago as “complete with a picture as he is standing next to his friends on the escalator” (he was taking the escalator alone), but here we also see “For nearly two decades, Lindsey Graham sat in the US Senate, giving speeches about Iran. He called the ayatollahs “religious Nazis.” He warned that diplomacy was a fool’s game and that the only thing the clerics in Iran understood was force. For nearly two decades, no one in the White House listened. Then, on a golf course in West Palm Beach, someone did. The strikes that began on February 28, dubbed “Operation Epic Fury,” were the product of several factors. Israeli officials lobbied aggressively, and the capture of Nicolás Maduro in January had put President Donald Trump in a confrontational mood. But the most persistent, effective voice in the president’s ear belonged to Lindsey Graham, the Senator from South Carolina. Graham’s pitch, delivered over rounds of golf and repeated in phone calls during the transition, was simple. Iran was a “spoiler” for everything Trump wanted in the Middle East, the expansion of the Abraham Accords, the normalisation with Saudi Arabia, the historical legacy. If Trump could “collapse this terrorist regime,” Graham told him, it would be “Berlin Wall stuff.”” I believe that the writer Elfadil Ibrahim struck the right chord. Yet I believe that the listener had other plans, this merely fit into the setting that needed address. And we see this in another article. In the Middle East Eye (among a few sources) give us (at https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/lindsey-graham-criticises-israel-over-targeting-iranian-oil-facilities) ‘Lindsey Graham criticises Israel over targeting Iranian oil facilities’ where we see “Republican senator says oil economy is ‘essential’ and that US will make a ‘tonne of money’ when Islamic republic falls” and as I see it, it was always about the oil. Canada wouldn’t budge, Greenland got European and Canadian protection and the oil from Venezuela is mostly useless, as such now we get to Iran and that isn’t falling the way it was and if we given credence to the words of Djoomart Otorbaev, America will be down in the bankruptcy dirt long before Iran falls, which I kinda accepted as the threats from Senator Graham towards Saudi Arabia were voiced. So, why ‘entice’ Saudi Arabia whilst the war is already won? I reckon it isn’t and ‘my toys’ were there to give additional protection to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, not to fuel the greed and stupidity of the United States. So whilst we are entertaining the largely dishonest quote from Senator Graham we see ““In that regard, please be cautious about what targets you select. Our goal is to liberate the Iranian people in a fashion that does not cripple their chance to start a new and better life when this regime collapses. The oil economy of Iran will be essential to that endeavour.” Israel struck over 30 oil depots in Iran on Saturday, including in Tehran and Karaj.” It merely shows how desperate the United States has become and at present the escape quotes seem to be adhered to. As I see it President Trump will likely ‘resort’ to a setting where Senator Graham is left holding the bag and that bag is getting mighty heave with each day after March 28th that Iran hasn’t fallen and my quotes over the last few days seem to be holding up to non-American scrutiny. And as I see it, the damage is increasing day after day and as the United States are getting to the tipping point of no longer being able to pay any of their bills, the excuses come that they were fighting for the freedom of the Iranian people and most of us will see the blatant ‘incorrectness’ of that statement. 

Personally I am happy that I never took up that position in Chicago in 1995, but there is no escaping what comes next. Unless you are a fat billionaire, or at least have at least a dozen million in your possession, the knock on the door will be on every other house that has bills and mortgages. So as we get back to the Arab Weekly, we see “When pressed on how exactly this transformation would occur, Graham becomes impatient. “The future of Iran is going to be determined by the Iranian people,” he told NBC’s Kristen Welker when she asked whether the administration had a plan. “No, it’s not his [president Trump’s] job or my job to do this. How many times do I have to tell you?” This is fantastical thinking, unmoored from history and the messy realities of regime change. The Wall Street Journal reported that Graham “likened Iran’s leader to Adolf Hitler and told Trump that Iran was in a historically weak position,” but the comparison reveals exactly what Graham misses.  It ended because the Allies had spent years defeating the German army on multiple fronts, occupying the country, and then investing billions in its reconstruction through the Marshall Plan. The US maintained a military presence in Europe for decades, and still does. That was the actual cost of defeating Nazism, and it is a cost neither Graham nor Trump have shown any interest in bearing for Iran.” I see merely one missing ‘adaptive fact’ the part missing is that their consultancy fee is in oil at $0.50 per barrel for decades to come, because that is what the United States yearns for, it has to pay bankers and they seemingly cannot.

It might be my colored glasses and they might not be correctly adjusted, but the media is largely no help in correctly adjusting my view, that and decades of data knowledge makes ‘dislodging’ my glasses a little harder for others. And I am not saying: ‘I am Correct!’ There is plenty to consider where I might be wrong and I am fine with this, just remember that I am not hiding behind the song ‘La Vie en Rose’, I like the Grace Jones version the best. I am not living in a pink colored setting. It is cold blue and not very nice. I know that, but we need to see that America is no longer an ally, it is merely thinking of themself and they will sell any Allie and neighbor down the drain to get what they want. For that I have Canada and Greenland as evidence.

Have a great day today.

Focal points

We all have them and sometimes they are pushed upon us through events and the attacks on Saudi Arabia and the UAE have me in knots (of a sort). I have my IP to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia and that takes care of the Iranian navy and their railway system. I was told yesterday that my rail approach was similar to what the French did in WW2, which actually made me happy. I was able to create a ‘modern’ new version of a WW2 setting and this got me thinking. I already had a navy solution for infrastructure and I am happy with that setting, there is however another setting. The Iranian navy. You see, we might think that one size fits all, but there are larger settings that need to be considered. Not all solutions can equally be utilized. There is another setting. So, to change the tone, I was thinking on what else could be done. So here I am brooding the day away, when it hits me. The idea to use the boat itself as a delivery system, The idea of whilst in transit a submersible drone attaches two devices to the boat. The first a torpedo, which could damage several other targets, like boats or submarines already docked. The second is a directional fragmentation magnetic mine. It incapacitates the vessel that carries it and when you do this with 1-3 mines, that vessels sinks rather quickly making it harder for the others to escape. When this is solution is done at the same time as the other ‘naval’ solution. The Iranians won’t know what hit them, which is usually the case with multi attacks, but as they are partially stealth based, the Iranians are at a loss who to blame for it all. 

But there is a need to take care of their Air-force and the issue I considered a little while ago (somewhere on 2024/2025) was the setting of dealing with their airports. You might have hundreds of jets, but merely dozens of airports. The idea was to attack the tarmac, but with drones, stealth drones to be precise. You see, there is enough chemical evolutionary expertise to deduce what would be better, consider a non-polar hydrocarbon solvent. Spray it over the tarmac and it would be better to do this at night with 2-3 drones at the same time. Consider that the tarmac is dissolved, the planes can still get up and down, but the airfields become really bad fast. This doesn’t solve the drones yet, but we start with this and the cargo planes delivering drones. The solution should also have elements that dissolve rubber and that is the ticket to impair these planes. They are like teenagers, they all need their rubbers, or it goes nowhere (or everywhere). A simple setting that DARPA could have done before endangering lives. Which makes the score Writer 8 against DARPA 0 (read: zero).

There is the need to attack all forms of Iranian military and I consider to attack all sides and at until now I had left their Air-force alone (as I am not a pilot or an aerodynamic engineer) but infrastructure, that is a different slice of cake and I already seemingly took care of two sides, so now the air-force remains. As said before this IP is totally free for the UAE and Saudi Arabia, I would like to ‘collect’ on a 10% bonus if any of these solutions are made into real products, but that is merely wishful thinking from my side. 

So when we consider that some come in like the proverbial bully, saying “We Do Not Need British Military”, although there is no evidence of that. So whilst we see CBS give us ‘Trump says “the war is very complete,” and he’s considering taking over Strait of Hormuz’ I am wondering what gives his the right to take over the Strait of Hormuz? I am merely asking on where the articles of war leaves any party. Apart that war was never declared and as I see it, it should fall to the UAE (when it is not Iranian space), but that is mere speculation, as I do not know the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) as well as I might have because my nautical degree is a little over 45 years old. So when we consider the of regulating ocean space, maritime boundaries, and resource management. It defines zones like territorial seas (12 nautical miles) and Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs, up to 200 nautical miles), where does it stands? What claim does America have? I am merely asking and in that setting I am still considering other tactics, because there is no certainty that the American, Israel and Iran clambake is done. No matter what the media gives us. America made that error in Afghanistan, a 20-year conflict initiated after the 9/11 attacks to dismantle al-Qaeda and remove the Taliban regime and after that the Taliban ended up being in power in Afghanistan. Then there was Russia versus Ukraine, which was supposed to have been done in 4-7 days and it is now exceeding 1400 days. So now we have the Iranian Clambake (my cautious nickname for this) and I am not convinced it will be done this quickly. Partisan settings that Iran could employ could make this war stretch out for months, months others do not have and as I see it, the infrastructure attacks should be employed in addition to other tactics, because whatever partisan damage is done, when infrastructure is hit, they will harm the partisan setting in addition to whatever others are contemplating. This doesn’t make the statement to the CBS a lie, but it could be an exaggerated timeline and in any armed exchange exaggeration tends to cost lives. As this article tends to have focal points all over the place, there is a setting that we need to consider one point and focus on that, but at present that setting is thwarted by the facts as we are given or how they are impacting me. You see, the setting of ‘considering taking over Strait of Hormuz’ will go against the settings of many nations and those who have naval laws might object, but feel free to ignore my thoughts on that part.

So as I am considering another piece of IP, consider the worlds of President Trump and reweigh them at the end of next week of everything that will be going on by then, that is as good as I can give that setting.

Have a great day and sorry for the chaos in here.

With Ice please

There was a setting I entertained and I gave it a lot of thought. The idea of striking against Iran after they attacked the UAE and Saudi Arabia gave me joy. As such I considered a way to impact their infrastructure. I know it is so easy to send a missiles there, but that merely causes some structural damage whilst Iran gets ready to reroute whatever they have. So, I have it another setting. I looked at a few settings with the diagrams that are out there and it helped me to create a new ‘sticky ice charge’ not a great name, but it does the job. 

So, this is what set it off and to consider the real deal, we have

This is what I had to work with and I created two solutions. The first one is seen below

The setting is simple, the blue part is liquid nitrogen, the middle part is C4 (with a small detonator) which gets activated 10 second after the sticky ball is fired. the collar is sticky to keep it in place. The ball is fired at the fastener and as the sticky ball breaks the fastener is frozen by liquid nitrogen making is massively brittle, the small explosion will shatter the fastener. Do this over one length or rail on both sides that rail is now loose and when the train drives over this, it all goes south from there, derailed train, wagons optionally falling over, it’s a whole new game. The simple setting of a derailed train, that track will be out for weeks (optionally months) no matter how many resources you throw at it, the moment it is way out of towns, there will be delay upon delay. And that is the mere start of it. When it is used in combination of the harbour solution, I reckon that the infrastructure of Iran gets a partial collapse. 

Then I got to thinking on a second solution, a ribbon with C4 and Nitrogen delivered to the tracks. On both sides with magnets sticking it to the rails with an optional second pressure point or connection about 30 seconds before the charge. 

Will it work? I believe so, but I am an incurable optimist. Anyway this IP is freely given to the UAE and to Saudi Arabia, so they make make something of it. I might be to old to fight, but I can become the next best thing. A nightmare to Iran and with these settings, their 13,000 kilometers ca now be sold as scrap metal (a delusional thought, I know) but in all these settings we see on YouTube and TV, no one is considering destroying infrastructure. It might not be sexy but it tends to work.

Anyway, I believe I have done my bit for the UAE (Saudi Arabia too), as such it is now up to them to make this reality or not. So you all have a great day today.

What is news?

This morning I got alerted (through Twitter) of news. Senator Graham allegedly is threatening Saudi Arabia to join the war. This got me puzzled, because President Trump stated “President  Trump has used Truth Social and other platforms to declare victory in conflicts, particularly regarding a 2025-2026 conflict with Iran.” And if this is true, what does a lowly Senator needs to strong-arm the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia? So, I was seeing this is wondering what this was all about. Then the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/mar/09/lindsey-graham-saudi-arabia-iran) gives us ‘Trump ally Lindsey Graham issues threat to Saudi Arabia over Iran war’ complete with a picture as he is standing next to his friends on the escalator. And it comes with the setting of “Senator Lindsey Graham on Monday questioned whether the United States should honor a long-sought defense agreement with Saudi Arabia, saying the kingdom’s refusal to join military operations against Iran made the partnership difficult to justify given that Americans were dying in a war Graham himself helped push the Trump administration to start.” It is (as I personally see it) a lie sugarcoated in lovely connected facts. So we have “whether the United States should honor a long-sought defense agreement with Saudi Arabia” which is basically a truth, but it is also set to commerce in an investment in billions. Then we get “the kingdom’s refusal to join military operations against Iran” is a setting that the United States forced upon others and they got Israel to join as Iran has been waging proxy wars against Israel. So when we get “made the partnership difficult to justify given that Americans were dying in a war Graham himself helped push the Trump administration to start.” So where is the request from Saudi Arabia to start a war against Iran? As far as is known none if the gulf states requested the United States to start this war and as I personally see it (massively speculative) Oil is the currency a bear bankrupt country needs and as President Trump is all about being the bully, I reckon he asked Senator Graham to occupy the fighting line. And should I be wrong (which is feasible) then the United States better spread the requests of Saudi Arabia through all the media, so that they can fact check this issue. Personally I don’t think it happened because Saudi Arabia can make its own diner with the reagents at its disposal, it does not need the United States to do their work from them and as I basically gave them my IP (and the UAE too) the idea of seeing the rail drones in action might be a sight to behold. With 12,998 Kilometers of tracks that can be ‘hindered’ in several places. The Iranian economy stops before the oil even reaches the harbor (and I have a solution for that too). 

So, when we get to “Riyadh has been on the hunt for a formal US security guarantee modeled on Washington’s treaty with Japan that would commit the United States to help defend the kingdom against external attack. In May 2025, the Trump administration described a $142bn arms package with Riyadh as the largest defense cooperation agreement in US history, and in November it granted the kingdom major non-Nato ally status. A broader, binding mutual defense pact, however, remains unsigned.” So what is actually the case? The 142B, or the mutual defense pact? The defense pact remains unsigned, so this is not the issue, what is, is the fact that the gulf States are about to yank $5T out of the United States of America and I reckon. That these $142,000,000,000 are part of that. The question is, what has been delivered and what is not. After which we get “The Saudi foreign ministry issued a response to the Iranian strikes earlier on Monday, condemning the attacks as unjustifiable and stating that Riyadh retains “its full right to take all necessary measures to safeguard its security, sovereignty, and the safety of its citizens”. It made no mention of joining US military operations, and the embassy did not return a request for comment.” As I see it, Saudi Arabia can do what it needs to do, no interference from the United States are required. But the jewel comes after this as we see “The Wall Street Journal reported that Graham spent months pressing Donald Trump to authorize strikes on Iran, first raising the idea during a round of golf shortly after the 2024 election. The senator made repeated trips to Israel, spoke with Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman to signal that US strikes appeared likely, and said he advised Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on how to approach the president.” It is my speculative view that this was the first pebble to solve the American bankruptcy, I am speculating that this was the ‘unwanted’ ally seek that Graham was seeking and now that the dam is about to burst, Senator Graham is in a tough spot (not as tough as President Trump though).

The final setting I see is “Iran responded with waves of missiles and drones targeting US military bases and allies across the region, which have so far killed seven American military personnel and wounded eight more.” What makes this ‘special’ is that this is the fact that these allies are now touring away from the united States and taking their trillions with them, more important, we see “so far killed seven American military personnel and wounded eight more” but there is no mention of the civilians killed in attacks all over the gulf states (by Iran) and structural damage they received. That and a few more facts is why the trillions are likely to go away from the United States and with that the United States need this win, because that is is all they have to live for soon enough.

It is not much, but that is how I see it and I feel great as IP I created might hurt Iran and secure both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, I am a no one, I know that, but here I gave the idea for a canal before the attacks started and I handed solutions to governments. My slate is clear, my life is pretty complete and I can see towards the end of my life with satisfaction. What more can a person ask for?

What we think we know

That what we think we know is a dangerous setting. We can know things on presumption and that is fine. How will anyone react tends to be also in the cards. But to sell the pelt of any animal before you make good on the kill is very dangerous. The idea that allies are bound into a sense of understanding is one thing. But tell me this, how is this set into reality?

So how is “We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won! President DONALD J. TRUMP” realistic? Is there a win? Was there a war? You see the United States of America never declared war on anyone and that will haunt President Trump long after he is taken out of office. You see, America is now playing a very dangerous game. Not only is his economy (basically) tanking, but at present he has no allies left. Then ABC gives us “As of March 2026, Saudi Arabia, along with other Gulf states, is reportedly reviewing its international financial commitments, including potential reductions in U.S. investments. Driven by budget pressures, lower energy revenues, and regional tensions, this shift is considered a precautionary strategy rather than an immediate, full withdrawal.” Some make claim that this is around 5 trillion dollars (aka $5,000,000,000,000) and in light of the debt they already have (As of March 5, 2026, the total U.S. national debt is approximately $38,870,000,000,000 trillion) so the United States of America is in a bundle and I reckon that they want to reduce Iran into a cinder so that they can claim the oil, they won’t make that claim, they merely buy all the oil at a speculative $0.50 per barrel). But that is merely my speculative view. The AFR, or Australian Financial Review (at https://www.afr.com/world/middle-east/trump-s-war-on-iran-is-a-long-way-from-won-20260304-p5o7hu) gives us ‘Trump’s war on Iran is a long way from won’ where we see “As the second week of “Operation Epic Fury” rumbles on, the duration of the widening conflict across the Middle East and its impact on the global economy and Australia remain uncertain. US-Israeli air strikes have succeeded in decapitating Iran’s high command and degrading its military and naval capacity. Yet, like the hydra regenerating after the head is cut off, there is no certainty the regime has been defeated after the son of the assassinated supreme leader Ali Khamenei was appointed his successor.” (The rest is behind a paywall). But I had my own version of systems and I have gifted all my military IP to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Iran needs to be defeated as it attacked the gulf states. And as my IP destroys their harbors and railway lines. Iran will have serious problems with their infrastructure soon enough. I wrote about this in the last few days. 

I think that if they are willing to attack civilian targets, then I can send my IP to them to aid them in their fight against Iran and the setting that Saudi Arabia has been under attack by Iran in proxy warfare makes the decision easier. I might not make any money, but at least it will serve a greater purpose and that is fine with me. 

And now as Mojtaba Khamenei is selected as the new supreme leader there is every chance that both Israel and the United States of America will face more weeks of warfare. Is there a chance it will be over soon? It is not impossible but only if Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Karaj and Tabriz are totally reduced to rubble and in the meantime the press (always eager to make digital dollars) are watching every bomb that falls. Only in the first week were we given ‘US investigators believe strike on Iranian girls’ school probably carried out by US forces’ (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/06/us-investigators-believe-strike-on-iranian-girls-school-likely-carried-out-by-us-forces) and now we hear rumors (unconfirmed facts) that the schools was accidentally targeted twice. So they screwed up twice and now they need to make a victory, but what will it take? More important, does the United States of America have the cash to set this war into reality? And there are several other facts that are in doubt. I reckon that if the gulf states remove their 5 trillion, life in the United States will become really hard soon enough, and the setting to piss of Sir Keir Rodney Starmer and the British people is about to have a considerable price tag. Didn’t anyone tell this president the story that you cannot sell the hide of an animal before you kill it? It is a simple question really.

So have a great day and enjoy the sunshine (if there is any).
