The red horse

It has been busy, but it is also getting countered. Arab News (at https://www.arabnews.com/node/3007204) is telling us that ‘Saudi Arabia and UAE call for closer Gulf coordination in face of Houthi attacks’ it is a good start, although a case could be made to include Egypt as there is every chance that Egypt will be a point of ‘evasion’ by the Houthi terrorists. It is a mere personal observation that they do not want to get caught retreating not the Sudan, but I have no definitive intelligence on that, other that the fact that they have disrupted Sudanese politics and assistance efforts to its population. I totally agree on the setting we are given by “Saudi Arabia and the UAE on Monday called for stronger coordination among Gulf nations to contain escalating regional tensions amid continuing Houthi attacks on the Kingdom. It came as the Saudi foreign minister, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, and his Emirati counterpart, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, discussed the latest regional developments, and condemned attacks by the Yemeni militia against civilian sites in Saudi Arabia. The ministers stressed the need for closer consultations and joint diplomatic efforts to strengthen cooperation among Gulf Cooperation Council member states, support de-escalation and prevent conflicts from spreading across the region, the Saudi Press Agency reported.” I am of the mind that de-escalation could be achieved through eradication and it might be a reason why politics is not a direction I should actively try to find employment in. However the red horse and its rider are more effective in the United States where (according to some) the dumbest person on the planet was made President. According to the United Kingdom they tend to bash and ridicule their dumbest people (aka village idiots) but in America these people are given a White House (with decently new curtains and wallpapers), but I would not know anything about that. Yet the Guardian gives us ‘Trump slams Zelenskyy amid Russia sanctions rift and says ‘somebody else’ should negotiate for Ukraine’, I am of the mind that the Ukraine did the right think by selecting the Ukrainian voice of Paddington bear as president of their nation. With the 20th largest army he stopped the army that was in the top 3 of the world (it is now number 8 according to some sources) the Red Horse and its rider have seen loads of action in that region. So, whist only 16 hours ago we saw the Guardian give us ‘Trump accuses Zelenskyy of not wanting to end war as feud rumbles on’ and it is ghastly what he mentions, especially as Former Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin stated that the one way to peace was for Russia to leave Ukrainian grounds and she said that on October 9th 2022, so basically a little over 4 years ago and most of the educated politicians of the world agree on that. So it is a little baffling how the president of Western Russia (aka President Trump) states that other people should be speaking for President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Can you imagine the gaul of some people? Perhaps he needs cheap diesel and that is one way to get it, because there is every chance that no matter how ‘resilient’ the US Economy is rated at, the chances are that the Credit Card of the United States might in the near future get rejected more and more and as they are losing allies in the gulf states, they might be scraping the bottom of the barrel for people with a positive mindset on the United States. And whilst we see the Guardian give us “Trump defends decision to waive some sanctions on Russia” there is every chance that this will cost him additional allies and as CNBC gave us two days ago “Ukraine is facing increasing uncertainty over its ability to sustain the war against Russia as a series of moves by U.S. President Donald Trump has raised fresh questions about Washington’s reliability as Kyiv’s most important military partner.

Trump’s agreement with Putin to ease sanctions for Russia to provide global markets with diesel, as well as restrictions on U.S. intelligence sharing with Ukrainian forces” is merely one side, the other side was given to us by Politico who gives us ‘Wright defends Trump’s Russian diesel deal as ‘carrot’ for peace’ where we see “Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Sunday defended President Donald Trump’s diesel deal with Russia as an “incentive” for Moscow to “reduce” its war in Ukraine, adding that after four years of conflict, other attempts to bring both sides to the table had failed. “This is a carrot to try to end a war. It’s not an economic lifeline for Russia,” Wright said on ABC’s “This Week.” “President Trump isn’t going to just throw up his arms and say, ‘Well, I guess we can never stop it,’” he added, when pressed on why a “carrot” was the appropriate action at this moment. “Clearly, it’s a tricky problem.” Wright argued that sanctions on Russian oil remain in place and that Moscow could only benefit from diesel relief by reducing its war effort or reaching an agreement with Ukraine that would allow it to repair its oil refineries.” And whilst everyone is focussing on Bugs Bunnies food supply and the ‘code word’ for cheap diesel, the turn is that the United States has little more to offer. The clambake in Iran has taken resources from the United States and they need years to rebuild it, in the meantime every lat penny is poured into the stage of ‘looking good’ all whilst there is more and more failing, all whilst the media is ‘assisting’ the United States by making hit a story towards resilience. So whilst we are given that “Pressed about Trump’s earlier announcement of an energy ceasefire, which both Ukraine and Russia have denied, Wright described an agreement as something the president was still pursuing.” And no one is pursuing this? An energy ceasefire that both parties deny? So where is this coming from? The wishful thinking list for the tooth fairy? Did anyone ask Dwayne Johnson if he was aware of that list?  And the idea that an announcement is given on a matter that “the president was still pursuing”, I merely wonder who was managing that sketch, because as a joke it is in bad taste especially as we consider that at least 15,578 civilians have been killed and over 43,352 injured in Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion began on February 24, 2022. There is not a pursuit of anything and as I see it, there is nothing feasible about “an agreement with Ukraine that would allow Russia to repair its oil refineries”, as I see it, they should all be bombed to hell, something President Trump failed to do in Iran and now he has an upcoming war that will last over a decade. So yes, I would encourage the red horse and its rider to support the Ukraine to wreck havoc on Russia. And don’t take my word on this, Sun Tzu wrote not around 500BC, so we have 2500 years of experience and knowledge that this is the correct setting. He wrote something in the spirit of “Feeding off the Enemy (Chapter 2: Waging War): Sun Tzu famously notes that transporting food and equipment over long distances ruins your own country’s economy and impoverishes the common people. Therefore, “a wise general strives to feed off the enemy”” and several players know this beforehand and if they claim ignorance on those fact they should not be inn positions of power. That sounds simple enough.

So the red horse is active in several stages, but we are all about countering that red horseman, by either giving the options to the pale horse or the pale horse. I reckon that only Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are worthy a visit from the White horse, whilst it is not a conquest when you regain your territory, they did conquer Russian forces and that warrants a visit from the White horse.

And whilst this is going on, we will watch and see how Saudi Arabia and optionally with assistance of the UAE defeat and diminish the numbers of Houthi terrorists. We can always be in denial of granting any thoughts to the red horse and that is fine, but as I see it, it is a defeating choice, because in the end out leads to visits from the black horse an your soul is handed to the pale horse, it is pretty much your only option, because there is nothing wrong with the pacifist mindset, I to some extent applaud it, but it can only survive when all parties agree to it, as such it is harder to start something, but the starters of war like pacifists, because they can take whatever they want and leave you with nothing, which makes you a target of the black horse and famine overtakes you. Where will your pacifistic mindset go then? If you are merely one person, it is a choice for you, but when you have a family and loved ones, where did your pacifism leave them? Lambs for the slaughter? You think about that.

Have a great day today.
