The media orchestra

That is what it sounds like, but what us it? It is a media apparatus all set towards the impending doom of isolation, but is that really the case. We start with ‘US opts not to back Saudi Arabia in Yemen after meeting Houthi leaders’ which comes from the Guardian a mere 6 hours ago. It is here we see “Iran-backed militants have offered Trump administration assurances over safety of Red Sea shipping”, as I see it, the divide and conquer model is still the preferred model for Iran backed dumbo’s. And with the setting of “Officials from the US met Houthi leaders over the weekend at the country’s embassy in Muscat, Oman, it has been confirmed, leading to the US decision not to intervene to help Saudi Arabia drive back a Houthi advance inside Yemen.” And with that I personally see (not everyone agrees) that the US has been made the bitch of Iran, initially by Iran itself and now by a vassal of Iran. That is some serious bad managing allies Washington. I am clearly a no-one (mostly self proclaimed) but when Saudi Arabia was under attack, I gave them my military IP to attack Iran and after that the Houthi terrorists. I feel perfectly fine doing that, in the first we all have a decently sworn duty to counter terrorism where we see it and Houthi’s are terrorists, plain and simple. We then get ‘Saudis pound Yemen as Houthis fire back, further widening Middle East war’, we get this from ABC News 15 hours ago where we see “Iran-backed rebels in Yemen have launched drones and missiles at Saudi cities, as the Kingdom launches hundreds of air strikes against Houthi positions, in a further sign that the conflict is worsening. Houthi strikes on a Saudi pipeline has disrupted up to 4 per cent of global oil shipments, further exacerbating the supply shortage triggered by the Iran war. The US is now issuing new warnings to government employees operating in Saudi Arabia.” As well as “The Houthis, who since last week have swept through Yemeni towns along the Red Sea coast and seized islands in the Bab el-Mandeb strait at its mouth, released battlefield video overnight of fighters seizing armoured vehicles from Saudi-backed forces.” All whilst the other ‘side’ is that we are given that ‘Chris Wright on Energy Abundance’ so whilst we are given “The secretary of energy says that making power more abundant for billions of people around the world will only improve their lives—and bring costs down” he gives a theoretical setting to counter a real political one. A non-ally does that and this all started by the stupid actions of the United States (as well as Israel) but the sentiment is that Israel would never have taken such bold actions if it had not received support from the United States. Israel has real grievances with Iran, so I am keeping them out of all this as much as possible. I saw that the only way to counter Iran was the destruction of their 10 refineries as well as ‘scuttle’ (it was as good a word as any) their infrastructure. I handed the IP of this to both the UAE and Saudi Arabia, because they were both under attack for acts they had no help or dealings in. They ever denied the United States to act against Iran from their soil. But Iran’s setting was destabilization of any means as much as possible. It was my thought (optionally a wrong one) that the United States believed that stabilization was their way of coming out on top in the global economy, all whilst they are losing allies quicker than anything the United States has ever witnessed. Some say that the list of allies the United States has dwindled down to 7. Even as we see “The U.S. has comprehensive bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements with 20 countries (including Australia, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Singapore, and several Central American and Middle Eastern nations)” and it seems that no one took the tariff settings into account. As such they have very little allies left and in that setting the ‘talks’ with Houthi terrorists is a desperate one. And yesterday we got ‘Saudi Arabia warns it will respond ‘firmly’ to Houthi attacks, as oil prices surge’ (source: SBS) so why is the oil price in this so important? Saudi Arabia is under terrorist attack and where is that so called navy of the United States stopping Iranian smuggle vessels? So as we are given “The Houthis have been engaged in renewed fighting with Saudi-backed government forces since Yemen’s civil war reignited in July, when the group declared a maritime blockade on Riyadh and began targeting its ships in the Red Sea.” But the counter setting is also clear. They are receiving massive help from Iran as Houthi resources are dwindling down and as Yemen has little in all this to produce, how are the Houthi getting these materials? So as some make references towards “Iran provides advanced weaponry—including ballistic missiles and drones—along with training and financial assistance as part of its regional “Axis of Resistance”. While international intelligence and independent bodies document this extensive backing, Tehran officially denies direct military involvement.” So whilst some are ‘focussed’ on the tracks of Eritrea and Houthi’s. The technology of Sudan is equally limited and no one is seemingly ‘too’ interested in stopping that too. Is that the act of an Ally? It seems that the walls are closing in on Saudi Arabia, but for what reason? An ally is that, an ally. But as I see it, the United States is so dependent in debt that they will talk to anyone coming with a bag of coins and for that matter, what was stopping the United States to destroy the 10 refineries Iran had? I even created IP to stop their harbors and trains from working, making progress from Iran almost impossible. And I am a no-one. Why did the Pentagon not see these actions. I know I got the better solutions over DARPA at least 4 times over, but I am not that big a genius. So what was stopping the United States with all its resources from coming up with better solutions? Makes you think doesn’t it. And there is no boasting. I put these solutions (in part) on my blog, as such, there are ways to check that. And the tactical insights are about that of a toddler in a sandbox (perhaps their AI disassembled that sandbox?) But it seems to me that too many media (optionally correctly) is showing the world that Saudi Arabia has less and less real allies left. As I see it we need to stand with Saudi Arabia and send that message clearly, of course the other option is clear too. If China now proclaims Saudi Arabia to be an ally and clearly shows this by showing the extent towards a group like the Houthi terrorists, Beijing gets a golden treatment, oil for a long time (and that reduction comes from the United States pile) the United States comes into one of the final legs of their self made train crash. Because without oil it ends quite fast and quite clear. As such the world will say to Chris Bright you proclaimed that you had the way to that making power more abundant for billions of people around the world will only improve their lives—and bring costs down. But the down side to this is that shale gas comes with dangers. Dangers to environment, climate, and health and all due to hydraulic methodology and the chemicals here could reach underwater water streams optionally poisoning the entire nation. But no one is thinking about that, this beside the point that the Dutch learned the hard way. They now have to deal with earthquakes, a place that almost never had them before now has to deal with them regularly. The Netherlands now has 287.000 places in real danger of earthquakes. That is what the United States await and all because it is no longer an ally of the Saudi Arabia, a harsh price to pay and Saudi Arabia never wanted any of this, but now they must do what is bet to Saudi Arabia and what is best for its citizens and as I personally see it, they might turn to China for that. So less than an hour ago we were given ‘US and Houthi Officials Hold Secret Oman Talks as Yemen Conflict Escalates’ with the text “Reuters, citing regional and diplomatic sources, reported that the meeting took place in Muscat with Omani mediation. The Houthi delegation was reportedly led by chief negotiator Mohammed Abdulsalam, while the United States was represented by officials involved in regional security and maritime diplomacy.” And the parties in this were keeping this a secret? (Tiny giggle escaping my throat) but the setting is now clearing up. China has a rather large opportunity and if that help results in downing or even eradicating Houthi interests in Saudi Arabia, the United States will be on the defense, losing the Gulf states for well over a decade. So where was the upside in that February 28th attack on Iran? Where are the smugglers in Eritrea getting their hardware? Why does a no one like me see this whilst this should be clear all over the Pentagon (aka 7400 Pentagon, Washington, DC 20301) as I see it, some games are being played and that might be on the current political branch and the Pentagon takes order from them. As I personally see it, Saudi Arabia will be forced to adjust its traction and allies, but then I am not a politician and I could be wrong.

Have a great day all.

The race is on

It is not a simple race. It is either the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia survives, or it is destroyed by terrorists. 8 hours ago, Politico (one of several, at https://www.politico.com/news/2026/09/12/saudi-arabia-has-few-options-as-it-faces-mounting-threats-from-iran-and-its-allies-01073550) gave us ‘Saudi Arabia has few options as it faces mounting threats from Iran and its allies’ and make no mistake, all this was started by the United States and Israel. All whist the Gulf States denied the United States access to their terrains to engage in hostilities with Iran. As such I felt perfectly validated giving the Kingdom some of my military IP. And when we get the subtext “President Donald Trump seems reluctant to widen an already unpopular Mideast war as Houthi rebels threaten a crucial Red Sea shipping route.” We realise that the United States is done for. They cannot now, nor ever destroy Iran (even though I punished methods that are 98% cheaper) the world its realizing that the US is no longer an ally to rely on, it is not even an ally anymore. No matter what it is (basically less than nothing) it was bullying its way to Canada, Greenland and Venezuela. And whilst it’s limited victories are highlighted to include the name ‘America’ in places where it doesn’t belong (like the Gulf of Mexico, or Lake Ontario) or the name Trump added to the JFK centre and let not forget adding a tacky ballroom to the White House and the disasters aren’t letting up any day soon. So when the Iran clambake started on February 28th 2026 we get “Media trackers and network analyses (such as CNN) have documented at least 38 instances of Trump declaring that a deal to end the conflict was imminent” which makes the United States the laughing stock and the setting for Saudi Arabia who is (along with several countries in the middle) caught caught between q rock and a case case. And Iran is exploiting it for what it can and now the terrorist allies of Iran see their goal clear to cash in on this. Among them the Houthi terrorist and whatever is coming from Iraq. So when we get to “Saudi Arabia’s crown prince and de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman, has spent years trying to build a very different Middle East, with wide-ranging social and economic changes aimed at transforming the ultra-conservative kingdom into a global business hub in a more prosperous and integrated region.Those efforts suffered major setbacks after Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel, which triggered one war after another. When the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran on Feb. 28, it responded with missile and drone attacks on Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states, and effectively shut down the Strait of Hormuz, bottling up their oil and gas exports and jolting the world economy.” So whilst through Hamas Israel has a decent case for attacking Iran, the United States seemingly has not. We can all agree that Iran is a terrorist state and a response to their hybrid warfare was necessary from an Israeli point of view. That much is clear, but Iran fearing for its life got all the others engaged, to muddy the waters and hoping for some islamic unison, all whilst the other gulf states would prefer a union with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and not with Iran. And whilst we think it is Iraq, the Deutsche Welle gave us 3 hours ago that the actual culprits are Iranian working from Maysan. As such it is becoming more and more clear that (as some would say) that the only good Iranian is a dead one and whilst I see that destroying the infrastructure is valid, I handed the IP tools to Saudi Arabia to make it happen. I have a different setting towards the Houthi terrorists. There I am in favour of eradication. The Yemeni House war was instigated by Houthis and it lay waste to Yemen in the last 12 years. As such there is no other option. The time to talk is over as I personally see it, and I had no issues giving my military IP to Saudi Arabia. 

So when we get the response “Trump on Saturday said Iran “probably” was behind the Saudi pipeline attack. Asked about a recent call with Saudi’s crown prince, he said: “He’s a good friend of mine, and I can just say everything’s going to work out fine and dandy.”” We can see what kind of a joke this United States administration has become, and when we see the additional “Trump shrugged aside the idea of increasing military pressure, as some U.S. hawks have suggested. “Maybe I don’t do that because of the election,” he told Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle.”

Ratney, the former U.S. ambassador, said it would be difficult for the Saudis to achieve their objectives without consistent U.S. support, which they had at previous times while fighting the Houthis. “My understanding at this point is the White House is not enthusiastic about getting involved,” he said.” We get to see first hand what a losing party this administration has become. And with the “It would be difficult for the Saudis to achieve their objectives without consistent U.S. support” we see what they are made of (and it is not good) all whilst my methods (whilst unproven) were proven in France during WW2, and it takes away 98% of the cost, so what stopped them? I saw a way to include the harbours stopping Iran from progressing in a way they currently are and my personal sight is that the Gulf states invite China to become the real ally that they need. For China it would be a big win, because it takes away the options for the United States and they will solely need to rely on their own oil, all whilst they are close to 2 trillion in deficit and that is likely to end the economy of the United States. It then allows for a union with the UAE and Canada (optionally the whole Commonwealth) taking the United States out of nearly all theaters of commerce, collapsing their tariff stage for over 90% (I hate the term 100% loss), there are always the fools that are smitten with bully tactics and there will be some left, even though most will see that it was basically the last tactic the United States has left.

Am I right?
That is a fair question to ask, the Saudi setting requires assistance, even if it is genuine concern by trustworthy parties. As I see it, the United States is no longer worthy of that title and perhaps there is a move that Canada could make, because they are real allies and they have real economic gravitas, but I cannot answer for them as I am not Canadian. The silence from the other Commonwealth parties is too deafening to be taken seriously. I believe that the UAE and Saudi Arabia should unite their efforts. I have always believed that and I still believe that the gulf states could unite (without Iran) with Saudi Arabia and the UAE heading that table. But this is speculative, not even presumptive. It still needs a direct action against Houthi terrorists and the other nations need to see this, because no matter how it ends, Houthi terrorists will come after all the other domains (optionally with Iranian support) and that is what it always was working towards. And at that point Shia muslims will destroy Sunni muslims, or make them inferior and whilst Makkah and Medina are the real prices that they covet, it will transform into the need of all gulf nations under rule of Shia states. That is merely my speculative view and even I wonder if I would be that correct. It feels like it, but a ‘feeling’ is not ever valid evidence in the matter. 

So have a great day today.

Droning right along

That is the setting I saw in my mind. A drone solution to a screwed up situation and the Houthi terrorists have themselves to thank for that. So as I saw the news from different places. The BBC gives us (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c23x72yx2rvo) ‘Houthis claim major advance in Yemen and tighten grip on Red Sea shipping lane’ where we see “The Iran-backed group seized Perim Island at the mouth of the waterway in the Bab al-Mandab Strait, a source from Yemen’s internationally recognised government told the BBC. It comes a day after the Houthis captured the strategic port city of Mokha from Saudi-backed pro-government forces, according to military sources. A Yemeni military official told the AFP news agency the Houthis now control the entire coastline.” With the additional “The Houthis earlier said they posed no threat to international shipping but reiterated their threat to target vessels from Saudi Arabia. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s de facto ruler, has personally pressed US President Donald Trump to take military action against the Houthis during their rapid advance, two sources familiar with the matter told CBS News – the BBC’s media partner in North America.

Trump has so far declined to involve the US military directly, offering instead to assist with intelligence and targeting support, the sources said.” So as the United States cannot clean up their messes, because all this got pushed to the surface by Iran engaging through Houthi Terrorists (yes, BBC, these troops are terrorists) Saudi Arabia is pushed to do something, as President trump seemingly is declining to involve the US military directly, I see a solution where the United States are pushed out of the Middle East completely, with a simple optional presence in Tel Aviv. We get China to render assistance. And in that setting I see drones getting involved (in my mind the lyrics from ‘moving right along’ by the Muppets is droning in my head. 

[KERMIT]              Droning right along
                    In search of allies and methods
                   With allies that can’t lose
[FOZZIE]               This would be upgraded
[KERMIT]                 Opportunity knocks once let’s reach out and grab it
                                   Together we’ll jack it
[FOZZIE]                  We’ll grab it, make and amuse it
[KERMIT] (spoken) Amuse it?

You get the idea and this is not entertainment, although the creativity that surrounds it might make it so. And for terrorists we need to think differently. As I suspect, the capture of Mocha was merely to get the influx of weaponry going (their number one goal) and there I see the setting of another wave of expediency.
So as we get to the drones we need several new settings. A spy drone (explanation down the track and delivery drones. 
The spy drone would be (depending on the vessel) parked in a higher place (like a ships mast) or is the ship allows it parked on top of the wheelhouse, or behind the wheelhouse, stuck behind the bowel of the ship. It serves two purposes, the first is to monitor anything it can and capture any transmission it can. It is about to become important. You see the delivery drones do two things. Deliver the surface mines and the ball mines. The surface mines blow the hull, the ball mines are dropped right above the hole and the water influx into the vessel will suck it into the ship. At that point all hell brakes lose and these smugglers will contact whomever they can, because when they fail, they lose a lot of revenue and their vessel. So they will cry for help in all directions and the spy drone will capture all this and their jamming capabilities will make sure that this doesn’t go any further. Optionally, they can delay the second they have into minutes of agony and record all that is going on. Optionally capture the names of IRGC members. 
So depending on the size of the vessel, 2-3 drones are all that is required and when they deliver the payload they fly back. The balminess are a different matter. They explode like fragmentation mines and make a mess of what is inside the vessel. As I see it (see below) 

The ball mine has these blue balls, which are an optional weaker version of a Neodymium magnet, it might be one, but I do not think that this strong a magnet is required. As a back it has the electronics on the inside, the outer shell is a metal with the magnets on top of it (see more pictures below) and as the ball moves, it can move into any direction, it might be moved by the spy drone, but getting it on the wall and moving up is basically what is needed and Machine Language is all that is required. The ball moves into position and blows, making a mess of anything inside the ship and optionally the machine room will be taken out, making the vessel a sinking dead duck. 

as you see it is metal, the magnets and the C4, a simple solution with low cost, no missiles required. This ball could be used in the field as well, but there it has a much bigger role. So as we see that drones could be dropping their ordinance, or used as portable claymores, we have a setting against terrorists. We merely have to engage the biggest groups and take out these terrorists. You see, President Trump. I need not waste billions on missiles and long winded speeches, up to 5 drone operators, sitting at a comfy chair with their own playbooks is all that was required. I reckon the Chinese party in this, might throw in that comfy chair for free. And that is all she wrote. A simple solution taking care of terrorists. The balminess can directly engage with vehicles and attach to them and whilst they blow, these adversaries are not given a long life. 
It took me mere hours to come up with this and I feel happy, activistic and pragmatic. Solution that doesn’t not require to heavily invest in anything worthy, let alone a terrorist group. And s the numbers pile up, I reckon that Iran will suddenly cry like a little girl, call everyone names and they can cry us all a river on Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC. Perhaps they find a sympathetic ear there.
So as I see it, Saudi Arabia can use these designs to get a working model, free of charge. Even though I would kindly ask that any oil requests from the Commonwealth will get a sympathetic ear. I am a commonwealthian after all. My mind came up with several other idea in the application of Claymore devices, as they are dropped from drones and as these drones need not be wasted, we can engage with stronger drones and leave a rather nasty red stain on wherever we engage these terrorists. I think that I used my time in a productive setting the hour. Time for me to watch some TV and consider playing a game or two in a few hours.

You all have a great day.

Rage against the dying of someone

That is quite frankly what I am feeling. There is an absolute disgrace from what the Journalists tend to give us. And as I see it, it is a lot more then western media, although there is a fair chance that I am incorrectly seeing the stage. I get that, but when Al Jazeera gives us ‘Yemen fighting updates: Battles rage between Houthi and Saudi-backed forces’ there is already a discussion that needs to take place. One is a terrorist organization this would be the Houthi setting, the other is a government trying to keep its citizens safe and those are the Saudi backed forces. Then we see (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/9/8/yemen-fighting-live-battles-rage) the setting that is clearly (as I personally see it) in connection to Iranian ‘needs’. “Yemen’s Houthis targeted Aramco facilities in the Saudi Arabian cities of Abha, Najran and Jizan, as well as an airbase in Khamis Mushait, with ballistic missiles and drones.” Aramco is targeted because Iran made it so, not because Houthis decided it is. For that matter, can anyone tell me how Houthis got their hands on “ballistic missiles and drones”? As I see it, that small part is a little puzzle to me. The Houthi forces have no infrastructure to get that done. And for that matter as we take notice of “As Yemen experiences its most intense fighting in years, a new wave of child recruitment in the country is taking shape.” As I see it, it is Hamas all over again and for that matter any assistance given to Saudi Arabia is one that is clearly needed. And as I see it, the amputation of Iranian directions in the area of Houthi terrorists need to be dealt with. We can do whatever we want, but until that assistance is amputated from Houthi consideration the hostilities will remain and more than likely intensify. In the meantime, The Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/08/houthi-strike-saudi-arabia-oil-facilities-middle-east-war-iran) gives us ‘Houthis strike Saudi Arabian cities in significant expansion of Middle East war’ where we see “Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis have attacked four cities in Saudi Arabia, wounding more than 70 people and setting oil installations ablaze in what appeared to be a significant expansion of the Middle East war. Saudi Arabia said it would retaliate after the overnight strikes – reportedly involving dozens of drones and missiles – that targeted several oil facilities in the country’s south.” So whilst there are a few sides to consider, I suddenly had a nice insight into a new IP, something that I nigh hand to Saudi Arabia, but I need to do a little more digging and whilst there is a nasty side effect to all this it might be a connected solution. You see, if oil is the issue, why not make Iranian oil worthless? It comes with the added setting that Saudi Arabia might have to sell all its oil to China, but that is a small price to pay and if that happens, Houthi terrorists no longer get Iranian backing and they have to go up against China then. The symmetric balance is yummy. The United States loses its Saudi oil, but they started the attack on Iran and in a massively idiotic sense, but I wrote about that failing several times from March 1st this year. So they get that complication, but it might not be a complication as President Trump stated on several events that they have plenty of oil. So lets test that setting.

And is it malice what I am proposing? No, not really. I am just keeping Saudi civilians safe. Which is a lot more than most non-Saudi’s have done up to now. So I am working with a decently weighed bat (as the expression goes). So what is this ‘super’ solution that no one can find? It is out there. I am proposing to inject the Iranian pipelines with Hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria and a lot of it, The part that I am still uncertain of is how much is needed. You see, if you put 6 injections of 100-500 liter of bacteria in different places of the pipelines will they reproduce? Or is is a mere temporary decrease in oil quality. Both are a damaging to the Iranian oil, but if they can grow in that setting, the larger Iranian oil collection will become inert and useless in a short time. When that happens their economy collapses as as their customers want their cash back and that is where China would need Saudi oil. When that happens Houthi terrorists stop getting any finding from Iran and they made China an optional enemy. I love the clean symmetry of that whilst the United States will claim ‘fowl’ and call themselves victims, they started this and President Trump made a claim of victory at least 66 times (according to sources). I personally never bothered to count these times. But another method that did not require bombing civilians, merely take their economic future away. I am sneaky that way. 

As such, if Iran doesn’t want this to happen, they will need to sever their ties with the Houthi terrorists, so that Saudi Arabia can deal with these terrorists. Look at me go, in one simple swoop I changed the balance of power in the Middle East and I did this on 5 drumsticks and a cup of coffee. I wonder what I could achieve by easting a decent dinner. 

But this are the delusional setting s we all face. What if I had a yummy dinner with Tiramisu and a Bambi burger? Some weird thoughts are with us all, nearly all the time. And I for one wonders why the United States never considered that. Are they now too broke that they need Iranian oil as well? A minus 40 trillion bank balance tends to do that. So whilst (according to Yahoo) we saw “President Trump posting on social media that oil prices will drop “when we WIN the war with Iran”” and that is the second part ofd the equation. What if they lose the war? As present the war has costed the U.S. government roughly $37.5 billion in direct military spending and a total economic and household costs exceeding $115 billion as such there is a decent chance that as Iran does not proclaim a loss against the United States and Israel, we can deuce that the US forces lost this one and as such Saudi Arabia needs a second plan to stop these terrorist actions. I came up with this, it deflates Iran, isolates Houthi terrorists and no physical ‘bombs’ dropped. I should be getting a Nobel peace price in the process.

Have a great day all.

Escalation on the menu

That is what I saw and I was alerted first by this by FirstPost (at https://www.firstpost.com/web-show/firstpost-live/war-is-coming-saudi-arabia-ready-to-bomb-houthis-as-attacks-escalate-firstpost-live-4k-vd2102436/) where we learn ‘‘War Is Coming’: Saudi Arabia ‘Ready’ to Bomb Houthis as Attacks Escalate’ apart from the title which I think is incorrect as Saudi Arabia should have been ready to bomb Houthi forces back to the stone age months ago (A Trumpian expression). We see “Saudi Arabia could be preparing for a renewed confrontation with Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis, according to a report by The New York Times, raising concerns that the Iran war could trigger a new battlefront in West Asia. The report cites analysts who warn that tensions between Riyadh and the Houthis could escalate” But this story seems straight forward and I don’t do straight forward. You see, at the same tie we get Al Jazeera (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/28/six-months-of-war-between-iran-us-leave-arab-states-facing-tough-questions) who gives us ‘Six months of war between Iran, US leave Arab states facing tough questions’ where we see “Analysts broadly agree the United States and Israel’s war on Iran will not see regime collapse in Tehran or a definite victory for Washington, but rather a dragged-out affair of stagnation and attrition.” It comes with the added “All in all, the region remains in flux where formal alliances with outside powers no longer guarantee safety.” And the second statement is the first pebble that makes sense. There is another setting given to us, it is ““There is no chance of the government in Tehran falling in the next six months,” Hellyer told Al Jazeera. “If everything were to theoretically stay the same … with just increased economic pressure, that could eventually cause a ripple effect that could lead to state collapse in Iran. But we’re talking years, not months, and everything is not likely to stay the same.”” As well as “Exacerbating the Gulf states’ difficulties is that, although the price of oil has risen, so has inflation. In addition to the economic difficulties the war has created, there is also growing pressure for Gulf states to invest more in defence.” This is as I personally see as the second pebble. Then we get Energy Now giving us (at https://energynow.com/2026/07/houthi-leader-threatens-saudi-oil-facilities-if-riyadh-escalates-in-yemen/)  with the title ‘Houthi Leader Threatens Saudi Oil Facilities if Riyadh Escalates in Yemen’ as I stated it is time to take of the gloves and decrease the Houthi population by a lot. And I believe that many of the Saudi military are on that same page. They will not state this because the await orders from Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman Al Saud and optionally the man above him which should be Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud and they both take directions from King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia and I reckon that they have had it playing nice with the Houthi terrorists. So yes, as I see it, war is coming and it is not the whole enchilada as Mexicans will state. So what are we missing?

You see, if my foresight of the United States being utterly broke is that these escalations are meant for the United States to get back on the horse whilst they are not ready for anything in the next 10 years. They created a mess in the middle east and the oil in question they have too, so they are making a massive gain there. But the $40,000,000,000,000 is not easily swayed, the oil revenue could possibly fund the interest for several years. And the second pebble I gave you was “growing pressure for Gulf states to invest more in defence”, which is the second stone of revenue, but as I see it, they caused the mess, so why give them the revenue? That is the setting that they overlooked. There is now ample reason to tighten the bonds with China and I reckon that China has the same sights in view I have and they might be on top of this already. They have the Chengdu J-20 (aka Mighty Dragon) they also have the Shenyang J-16 and the Chengdu J-10C Vigorous Dragon. This is before we consider that Saudi Arabia might turn to the EU to get samples of the Eurofighter Typhoon to smooth things over, optionally going to that front for at least one squadron. All revenue lost to the United States. I predicted this as much years ago. But I have corroborating evidence. The entire bombing of Iran all whilst refineries stood standing, how does this make sense? I gave IP to Saudi Arabia and the UAE early march to scuttle whatever Iran had to incapacitate their options. Also I showed how a small squadron of drones could impede whatever Iran thought it could produce. These are simple methods to tae down an army and the Pentagon knows this. They read even more than I have and I came to this conclusion and I for one already gave Saudi Arabia the means to also take down the Houthi terrorists. So if the United States would not handle terrorists, I would (I know this is exaggerated ego speaking). But when you see these elements, do you think I am wrong?

So when you consider “There is no chance of the government in Tehran falling in the next six months”, all whilst we heard “President Trump has announced Iran’s defeat 106 times, claimed the country was destroyed 95 times, promised an imminent deal 88 times” how can the Pentagon be that wrong? As I see it it was never the goal to ‘defeat’ Iran, merely for the others to be unable to get the upper hand in all this, when the United States proclaim it cannot pay interest bills (which is likely in 2028) they will lose whatever they had and it will take the Gulf States a decade to repair what it had and the is just not on with me. So as we were given that President Trump reported over $2.2 billion in revenue during his first year back in office in 2025 and billions more, I reckon that he is stocking whatever he can and wherever he can, because when the United States goes down he wants his billions in a zero tax state and optionally Switzerland as well. So the pebbles are making wrinkles in the water, but someone is diluting that view with “global war settings” But as I see it, this should not be allowed and there is an apparent lack of illegalities of the actions by President Trump and he made ‘friends’ in the right places and when the USA declares itself insolvent Trump loses all his friends and he needs his savings to be safe, because as I see it the people will come in millions to Mar-a-Lago all armed with pitchforks and torches and at that point it might no longer be the safest place for President Trump. Perhaps he will sell that in the 11th hour for a few more coins, but that is what I see and I had hoped that Saudi Arabia and the UAE would unite to keep the gulf safe and Saudi Arabia set up with Pakistan the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement, which is now superseded by the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement which gives us a defence pact between Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey signed into force on 7 August 2026. Which is good, but I personally think that the UAE and Bahrain should be part of this. I am hesitant for Qatar and Iraq to join, but it is a mere feeling. I have no corroborating data of any credible nature. But the setting that Qatar has had with Hamas and Hezbollah there is chance that the influences are ‘poisoned’ by Iran but this is a mere feeling. There is no evidence as I see it and I go by evidence every single time (or personal presumption in some cases).

So whilst we see this, and we need to see that the entire Iran setting was started by the United States and Israel, but then Iran did something stupid, they attacked the gulf states (without clear provocation) and tried to erase the UAE with over 2,200 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) aimed at Emirati territory, as such Iran is now non-welcome in most gulf states. They also fired on the other gulf states, but I reckon I made my case there. And the setting is required for others to see this. You see, the UAE is a direct threat to US technology and I speculate that is why Iran attacked it, perhaps they were promised certain leeways from the United States, but that is pure speculation. So, as I am still questioning what the rationale thought was behind that, the clarity is supposed to see that they could have send these 2200 drones to Israel, that is a country that attacked them. I am not anti-Israel, but when you attack a nation you get treated to drones (and more) but that might be my simplistic mind. 

As such, perhaps China has a decent way to dal with the Houthi problem, as a simple weapon test mind you and that could fuel the purchase of weapons from China, now the options lie with the EU to counter that offer, but I reckon that they are hesitant to act, which is understandable. 

So in all an almost simple setting, the question becomes what happens next? I have no clue because I am not in the know with Saudi defense plans. So you all have a great day and try to enjoy a cup of coffee (my next move).

What is the path of a coward?

That is what I am settled with, because that might be me. I personally don’t think so, but the settings we see is that there is too much rumble on the ether. They all have something to say and some of them speak a lot but do not say anything at all. We are in the setting that everyone is looking for someone to blame and the United States even more so. The guardian gave us less than 24 hours ago ‘Donald Trump threatens to bomb Oman if it ‘gets in the way’ of ending Iran war’ The USA is panicking as I see it. A simple run on oil is now almost 6 months. The USA spend $37.5 billion over a war that could be seen as unconstitutional and now they are about to lose whatever they had in the Middle East. Now we see another ‘exaggeration’ by President Trump. In June he stated ‘Iran war updates: US and Iran sign memorandum to end war within 60 days — as it happened’, it has now been 60 days, so where is that memorandum? So, only 11 hour ago we are given (source: Canberra Times) ‘Iran says it will escalate if US does not honour deal’ and after that the BBC gave us ‘Why has Trump shifted on North Korea?’, where we see “President Donald Trump has said that the US will “substantially reduce” joint military exercises with South Korea, citing his “very good relationship” with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un.” So some now refer to President Trump as the anti-Christ, I merely think he is the false prophet, drowning the world in chaos, because in chaos other parties get to profit and that is what President Trump is out for, the United States are done for, the $40 trillion debt is too much and I saw that coming over a decade ago. But President Trump is hoping that if the middle East explodes (thanks to Iran) because that is now the greatest threat to the United States. With the Middle East, China gets to win and that is not what the United States wants. The end of Wall Street is coming and it was foreseen by several parties, but if the chaos erupts, the United States get to play a little longer at the expense of the EU and anyone else that is threatening. Russia in no longer a threat, the Ukraine took care of that. The EU is too deep in debt, because that was the setting that the United States always banked on and so is Japan. The Middle East (mainly Saudi Arabia and the UAE) could bank with China and create a total new world order and they will be the foundational stones of BRICS. This is what the United States is seemingly hoping for. Am I right? I think so, but I have no evidence, I can merely postulate this speculation. And me? I rather add more on additional sides of ‘What happened to Junior Sandiego?’ And I am adding at least three sides to this and I have a few ideas on another setting, but that is merely for the eyes of Broderbund. And I have an additional edge to give to them as well. A simple setting of aggregating games and matching abilities on the setting of other games and as far as I can tell there is no IP protection if I set the parameters right. A massive win for gamers all over the world, that is if the insanity of President Trump is allowed to continue, if not, there will be millions of gamers less. So is my setting correct? I think President Trump showed his hand when he started to mention “his “very good relationship” with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un.” That was when I figured it out. The United States could only continue if the world is on fire and besides the actual flames, it could not set a match to the Middle East that he left to Iran, he merely had to get Israel to attack Iran with them. And these attacks were a waste of time, I already showed that months ago a more fruitful setting could be given by eradicating the facilities that process oil and they only in part did that, that is what 37 billion got there a partial victory and a complete failure. And I was stumped with my decreased military knowledge (I left the service 44 years ago) and I was stumped, I am nowhere near the Pentagon in knowledge, so how did I know more? Get better results, saw a better strategy? But then President Trump gave the North Korea setting and at that point I figured it out. And the knowledge that power once given can never be receded. The Ancient Romans gave us “Ancient Roman reflections on receding power focused on moral decay, internal corruption, overextension, and the inevitable cycle of rise and fall that follows imperial dominance” that was 2000 years ago and we haven’t learned anything (well almost that little) And my setting is that I tire of this and I much rather work on the design of a new and improved video game than being the person that talks a lot (or writes a lot) and say nothing. Which is where we are now. So sink my ideas, but I reckon that plenty of people are arriving at the setting I am now, President Trump showed his hand with the Kim Jong Un variable and now there are several element in the world are aware of the Chaos setting that President Trump is seemingly unceasing on us all. First Canada, then Greenland, then Venezuela, then Iran and now Korea (North and South) and the media is seemingly all wiling to stuck their heads in the sand as I see it, I am clever, really clever but I am not that clever and others would have found the same I did. So in the last 10 hours, did anyone give you this? Even in a speculative form? I am wondering who got there when I did, but the racking of culprits on that same setting is near absolute zero. So are they the cowards, or am I the coward for thinking that hiding my head in creating a new video game is the act of cowardice? I don’t know but there is a weird game going on and the United States in the thick and the middle of it all, but that is merely my view on the situation. 

So have a great day and I hope to hand the new game (optionally) to Broderbund at some point, if we live that long.

Should speculation become presumption

This is why is at stake, but not for me, it is clear that I am merely speculator. However others could have a presumptuous setting. It was given to us through Ekathimirini (at https://www.ekathimerini.com/politics/foreign-policy/1311965/greece-shifts-saudi-patriot-mission-to-monthly-review/) where we see ‘Greece shifts Saudi Patriot mission to monthly review’ with the text “Greece has changed the extension of its military mission in Saudi Arabia from an annual to a monthly basis, reflecting what officials describe as the rapidly changing geopolitical situation in the region. The Greek Armed Forces’ Patriot air defense battery has been deployed in Yanbu, a Red Sea port city in western Saudi Arabia, since 2021 under a bilateral defense agreement.” You see, there are 2-3 settings. The first one is that the United States only have (according to some) the United States currently has an estimated 759 to 827 Patriot missile interceptors remaining in its active stockpile. And when we consider that “Manufacturers produce fewer than 1,000 interceptors per year, creating intense international competition for supply between Middle Eastern allies, European partners, and Ukraine.” All whilst the current settings (according to some) that at least 1,200 to 1,400 Patriot missile interceptors have been fired by the U.S. and its regional allies in defense against Iranian missile and drone attacks during the ongoing conflict. As such in 6 months the patriot depletion has been set to merely a 3 months stockpile left. And that is not good for the United States. As such there is a chance that it is ‘pressuring’ all other NATO members to hand over its patriot missiles (possible buy them) so the setting of “The Greek Patriot battery helps protect critical infrastructure in Yanbu, including facilities linked to the kingdom’s East-West oil pipeline. The pipeline carries about 60% of Saudi Arabia’s oil from the Persian Gulf to international markets, while the area also has major refineries.” So the other setting is that Greek politicians are trying to stay out of the Iranian setting and it is nice to show yourself as an optional savior for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, until there is an actual pressure point appearing, then setting becomes hard for politicians to face. That is how it usually goes. The third one is almost like the other two but it is the EU/NATO that pulled the strings and the depleted US patriot missiles are likely the setting stage, especially as more and more EU nations are convinced that they are heading for a war with Russia. At that point they will need all the patriot missiles they can lay their hands on. As I see it, the EU/USA/NATO will sell the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia down the river instantly for mere self preservation. 

As I stated it, my side is merely speculation, it requires someone with political and military gravitas to either debunk my setting or optionally hand over the presumption that will raise my levels of speculation. And in all of this the Greek settings and the critical infrastructure of Yanbu are on the line. Bit what is actually happening and the setting of “its military mission in Saudi Arabia from an annual to a monthly basis” yet, as I do not see the missing part “increasing the mission” is why I got to the setting of the three scenarios I am currently banking on. In an age where we are so upset about doing the right thing, too many are avoiding the needs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the UAE in all this. Which is why I gave them my military IP. I believe in doing the right thing, especially against the terrorist state of Iran. 

So have a great day and if you think that my speculation is pure BS, I accept that, but too much has passed in the last week to not set the speculative setting I am giving you.

Disaster through media

That is how I see it, it is not that they are wrong because as I see it, it fits directly in the views of a terrorist state and that directly hits towards their target. So what am I talking about? It is the article that the Guardian launched about an hour ago (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/07/iran-war-trump-midterm-ballot) where we see ‘Iran plots to deal Trump a blow in midterms by keeping him entangled in war’, so whilst we saw again and again that a deal was coming through soon, which I always doubted, we now see this and with “Tehran has set out a protracted negotiating timetable designed to keep Donald Trump embroiled in the Iran conflict until the midterm elections, in the hope of inflicting the same ruinous blow on his presidency as Jimmy Carter suffered over the 1979-81 US embassy hostage crisis. For many inside Iran, inflicting meaningful revenge on Trump is a legitimate and self-standing war aim, reflected in the mood of those attending the funeral of the supreme leader Ali Khamenei where demands for retribution were ubiquitous.” The move makes perfect sense and I think that this will be the case. But we also saw about hour ago (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/7/saudi-arabia-pakistan-and-turkiye-sign-defence-deal-amid-regional-turmoil) that Al Jazeera gave us ‘Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkiye sign defence deal amid regional turmoil’ as such Iran is in a bind because these three will attack Iran if any of them is attacked. This leaves me with two thoughts. The first one (of a humorous nature) is that this might be the first time in history where Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Turkey and Israel have the same enemy, as such walking the streets of Tehran might be massively dangerous now. The other thought is that this puts the UAE standing alone and there is every chance that Iran will temper its false rage on the UAE, which is not a good thing. I feel better that I basically gave my military IP away to the UAE as well. Perhaps they can use it to sink the Iranian navy (it was a prototype, so it is not usable instantly). But this setting is now evolving, because the Guardian is also leaving us with “But the focus on the midterms became more obvious this week when the deputy foreign minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, told the official IRNA news agency that after agreeing a route for commercial shipping through the strait of Hormuz, it would take two to four months to reach the second phase of negotiations on Iran’s nuclear programme. The original plan – to commence the nuclear phase of the talks within 30 days of signing June’s memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the US – had been jettisoned by the Trump administration, Gharibabadi said. To get to that second stage, he laid out an obstacle course including the lifting of sanctions, the end of the US blockade of Iranian ports, the unfreezing of Iranian assets and new commitments on non-belligerence in a process that could last well beyond the midterms.” It also came to me yesterday as I wrote “Which beckons the setting for the midterm, because the military has its own share of democrats and when even one comes across with the actual numbers of all the stockpiles then no longer have, it is the opinion of this small, useless, humble blogger that the Midterms are set to the ‘inaccuracies’ surrounding those statements. A political deal done and it started with the actions surrounding February 28th 2026 and it wasn’t even a leap year.” (see previous article) and I wrote that story 10 hours ago, so I got to the setting of the midterms before the Guardian did, being it for different reasons. And all this gives us that either the United States uses what missiles they have to give Iran a one way ticket to the stone age, as such President Trump has a massive problem and if social media is to be believed, the setting of President Trump comes with prison time after he loses the Midterms. I have no clue if that could even be achieved, but that setting might be a disturbing one. Not for me, he has been massively nasty to Canada, so he would be getting what he deserved.

But as I see it the dangers to the UAE remains and I expect that they have no intent being the target of Iran any longer. As such I agree with the Guardian who gives us “From this perspective, the outcome of this war will not be played out on the battlefield, but at the ballot box. The agency suggested the outcome could affect the course of American domestic and foreign policy for years to come.” And we can all agree with that, because no matter how you see it, the worst case scenario is that Democrats start being nice to Iran, something that is globally unacceptable, still I have no interest looking into the mucky waters called American politics. And that reflecting pool will have its own set of disasters bound by time. So when we look at the end of the Guardian Article, we see “The bigger question is what Iran itself wants to achieve. Agreeing to keep the dispute simmering until November is not an answer to that question – one that Iranians are better at debating than resolving. Pezeshkian, working in alliance with Mohammad Ghalibaf, the chief negotiator, repeatedly says he does not want endless war, and insists that almost all the supreme national security council concur. He still has faith in the MoU, saying it should be the cornerstone of Iran’s foreign policy. But the conservative newspaper Kayhan describes the memorandum as worthless since the US always breaks its commitments. “Accordingly, officials should know that the strait of Hormuz is not a bargaining chip and should not be opened as a passage for America,” it said.”“ The only part I see happening is that price of oil will remain high and as I see it, it will not decrease nowhere near the midterms. That is a setting that the ‘speeches’ of President Trump also needs to bring him and I feel decently safe that the teleprompter will fail and President Trump will state that this was all a conspiracy theory (my turn to make a funny, Prime Minister Carney).

But the stage is not resolved, because as I see it (using the Al Jazeera article) where we see “The conflict has imperilled Saudi Arabia’s oil exports and ambitious development plans, and raises big questions about the reliability of its longstanding US security umbrella. While Turkiye and Pakistan have avoided significant direct attacks, both are anxious to calm regional conflicts that threaten their security and economies. The deal, named the “Mecca Joint Defence Agreement”, follows nearly a year of negotiations. Sealing the agreement in Mecca, the holiest site in Islam, adds symbolic heft to a pact that builds on longstanding bilateral military ties.” As such we see the this deal took the better part of a year to set, which means that this started all before the strikes on Iran started and that is good for the nations, but in that same setting it implies that they have had enough of Iran and I wrote about in on the second of June with “which was based on a 2019 idea on stopping Iran. With blocked harbours Iran becomes the isolated party others needed it to be” (in my article ‘Defeated by the timeline’) since then I added a few military IP’s to my arsenal, because we all have to remains creative at times. But it kinda shows that the UAE needs to evolve its military tactics and not always in a diplomatic way. Because the 537 ballistic missiles and 26 cruise missiles are evidence to that setting and there is a decent chance that the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait were all attacked in the near future and as Iran is a cowardly terrorist state, these nations will face more attacks. The “Mecca Joint Defence Agreement” are likely to keep three nations decently safe, the others might not be that lucky and that requires attention as well. And as I see it, they should not face attacks for the next 12 weeks, because Iran will suddenly play the little crying girl when the Trump danger has been settled and I don’t think that being nice to Iran is going to be an option before 2028, but that is merely me thinking and I think that enough gulf states are on the same page I am currently on. Yet this is not all, Al Jazeera raised a decent part with “Al Jazeera’s Osama Bin Javaid, reporting from the Qatari capital, Doha, said the pact “essentially puts three of the largest Muslim populations together”, marking the beginning of a “different security architecture” in the region.” It might make a large difference, but personally I would have liked that the UAE was included in that deal and with that I possibly show my complete unawareness of Muslim politics, but that might be my weakness in all of this as I am not Muslim. So to all a great day and I am (alas) still 300 minutes away from breakfast.

By presidential appointment

This is a situation that happens, it usually doesn’t intent on that president making it happen against his will, but here we go. This morning I saw an article by the BBC that made me giggle. It was (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy8mjd19xm7o) where we see ‘Trump denies US weapons shortage and says information ‘leakers’ being ‘hunted down’’ So what gives? Well, first lets take a look at a few categories. You see a ‘leaker’ gives us “a person who gives secret or private information to the public or to news reporters without permission.” We then get “Whistleblower: Someone inside a government, military group, or private company who exposes hidden or illegal actions” but the most critical setting is that this person wasn’t called ‘liable’, ‘a fraud’ or a few other settings. President Trump called that person(s) was called “suspected of leaking information” the implies that the numbers might be right on. In addition we see “The U.S. has massive amounts of ‘munitions,’ especially of certain types”, so what types? We see “The US had over 3,000 Tomahawks before the Iran war” and “The stockpile could be back to 3,000 by 2031” and the chart it gives is from the Center for Strategic and International Studies. With these numbers are based on “Figures based on requests made in 2026/27 US military budget but not yet passed” this is just the numbers of the tomahawk, as stated 1000 have apparently been fired, I cannot vouch for that, but I am willing to go with these numbers and that doesn’t mean that there is a shortage, but this clambake has cause the United States to fire one third of its missiles, which is another problem. 

So then we get that “Trump posted on Thursday morning. “Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the US as needed.”” This is contrary to what I saw, because as we are given that the replenishment of the Tomahawk will take 6 years, that flies against the statement of the president. So then we are given “Trump and the Pentagon face mounting questions about the state of the military’s arsenal, with the war now in its sixth month and a peace deal remaining elusive. Iran responded to reports of shrinking US supplies by saying its locally produced weapons gave it the ability to respond to “any threat”.” This is funny, because the Pentagon is facing questions on its arsenal and I gave Saudi Arabia and the UAE ‘ideas’ that could do parts at 2.7% of the current cost. In addition to this I came up with one additional idea that could ‘scuttle’ its navy (including submarines) with little effort, no missiles required. Merely using the achilles heel of these forces. 

Then we get “CBS News, the BBC’s US partner, reported the US has gone through much of its global stockpile of long-range precision missiles during the war, citing two unnamed sources with direct knowledge of the subject.” As well as “Meanwhile, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday evening that Trump had confronted Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth last week over a possible weapons shortfall, also citing unnamed sources. The BBC has not confirmed the report.” Which implies that other weapons are depleted. I would gather that there is a paper trail (but I never cared for that), but there is something in all this and it is attuned by watching the words of the president and seeing how he ‘misdirects’ the setting of “large amounts are being manufactured” as I see it, it all sounds correct (and pretty dicey), but that is what 40 claims of victory gets you, you need to mull over your words because any proven lie will hurt you in the midterms (as I see it). So then we get ““The ‘leakers’ of these treasonous statements are being hunted down,” Trump said in the post on Truth Social. “Long term jail sentences will be sought!”

He directly addressed the Washington Post’s story in a later post, saying: “I really believe their fake ‘reporting’ is treasonous!”” Again we see the word ‘leaker’ which implies that the shortages are apparently real and it comes not from the ‘leaker’ but from the president of the United States. So we now see a shortage by presidential appointment, sound fair, doesn’t it? 

But then we get a difference. It is seen at “Using publicly available data, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a national security think tank, estimated that by the end of July, the US had between 759 and 827 Patriot missiles left – about a third of the 2,330 available before the conflict began.” So did anyone ask the exact numbers of the patriot missile? We saw the Tomahawk chart, but did anyone give us the patriot chart? How many are made a day? Where are they coming from? And the Guardian last week told us ‘Ukraine war briefing: Trump says he is ‘not sure’ about letting Ukraine build Patriot missiles’, which might be fair, but if the American numbers are so depleted, seeing up a Ukrainian missile manufacturing base, optionally in the United States, United Kingdom France or Germany to let the Ukrainians get their feet wet whilst being in somewhat control of the creation of these patriot, all whilst there is a steady stream of reinforced creation of missiles. Did they not think of that? Which comes right along with “A drone factory in Kyiv destroyed by a Russian ballistic missile was owned by a US corporation, in what appears to be the first time Moscow has targeted a US company in the conflict.” As I see it, the United States is in deep waters than we think. Because it already depleted a third of their Tomahawks and a large amount of their Patriots. I would think that they needed all the help they could get, especially if they are about to face off to that bar called Russia. But that could merely be my ‘wrongful view on the matter’ and I am not a military expert (haven’t been one in over 44 years). 

So as we get “Trump told the Wall Street Journal last month: “We have far more munitions than anyone in the world, and far more than we need.”” Which beckons the setting for the midterm, because the military has its own share of democrats and when even one comes across with the actual numbers of all the stockpiles they no longer have, it is the opinion of this small, useless, humble blogger that the Midterms are set to the ‘inaccuracies’ surrounding those statements. A political deal done and it started with the actions surrounding February 28th 2026 and it wasn’t even a leap year. 

So have a gander, mull over what I saw and consider a setting where the United States will be facing of Russia with its alleged depleted amounts of ammunition. I reckon the US will need Ukrainian reserves a lot more than the other way round and that is before we realise that this will set a new marker, A war on two fronts and I thought that was last with a Frenchman named Napoleon. How did that turn out? If only one of those 40 peace deals were true it wouldn’t be that bad, but apparently it is. 

So have a great day and now it is time to get some coffee for this decrepit body of mine.

Timelines of confusion

That is the setting, but before I go into this, lets recap a few articles. The first one was given to us by the Guardian (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/aug/02/trump-climbs-down-on-iran-strikes-after-saudi-alarm-and-threats-from-tehran) about a day ago we were given ‘Trump backs down on Iran strikes in expectation of ‘rapidly’ reaching a deal’ with the subtext “US president claims delay is also in response to requests from Iran and other countries in the region” with in addition “The deal would include the immediate and complete reopening of the strait and “an end to Iran’s nuclear threat”, he posted. It marked the latest climbdown from extravagant threats to pound the Islamic Republic in the months-long conflict.”

After that we get (several hours ago, at https://aje.news/mcmsi9) ‘Tehran says no current talks with US, Oman meetings ongoing’ with “Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei says in regards to talks with the US, there are no plans to receive a delegation or send an Iranian one. Baghaei adds that a new Strait of Hormuz shipping route being discussed with Oman will be one path with entry and exit lanes.” As well as (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/8/3/trump-says-new-iran-negotiations-starting-what-we-know) ‘Trump says new Iran negotiations starting: What we know’ where we see “United States President Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday that an agreement with Iran is imminent and new talks were set to begin on Monday. But at a news conference on Monday, an Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman said: “We are not going to host a delegation or be guests of a country during these days.””

These setting are giving me a speculative setting and the middle east is part of all this deception (by the United States) and it is speculative, I could very well be wrong. This is however the setting that I see and it is important to tell you this, because as I see it, the media is laden with what might be seen as inaccuracies all over the place. These is no way to tell whether this is politically inclined or even if the media is given all the parts they needed to have. There is too much confusion out there. So one more source was added and I now ad this, to give it to you. It is IranWire and I don’t believe it is correct and it is debatable what is correct and what is not. But that is what Iranians optionally read and that needs to be seen too.

The article is seen (at https://iranwire.com/en/features/155759/) where we are given ‘Is Iran Preparing for War With Saudi Arabia?’ We are given “Figures close to the Islamic Republic have asserted that “Saudi Arabia is the most significant potential target.” Furthermore, the commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters warned that “companions of the United States will burn in the fires of war,” calling on Muslim nations to “reconsider their cooperation with the US.” His warning is directed squarely at Riyadh, which currently finds itself confronting the Islamic Republic and its non-state proxy network across multiple geopolitical fronts, having previously participated in military strikes targeting positions inside Iran in April.”

I am hereby calling out these lies. Saudi Arabia and the UAE never assisted or acted against Iran, Iran bombed and used drones to all the Arabian states and there was no reason to do this. They were doing it for an unknown reason (I’ll get to that) as well as ““A ground assault from Iraq in the north and Yemen in the south would finish Saudi Arabia off. Aside from its air power, which would be paralysed immediately once its airfields and air bases are targeted, Saudi Arabia has nothing else. Pakistan cannot offer meaningful assistance due to the lack of a shared land border.”” This implies that Iran is guiding Houthi terrorists to do the dirty works of Iran. It also shows that Houthi terrorists are now also operating from Iraq, whether Iraqi government forces are allowing this or that they are too incompetent to counter these assaults on Saudi Arabia remains to be seen.

So this was the time line I saw and I had already mentioned a few settings in previous blogs. So here is the speculation. The United States are about to lose whatever they have and it is in THEIR interest to see stabilization gone in the Arabian states and they are using Iran to be the play toy or their needs. I cannot make any claim to evidence, but I asked in the first eeek of march why Iran was attacking the UAE more than it was Israel. Israel was aiding the United States in all this, so Iran had a reason to attack Israel. But they attacked the UAE with a lot more drones. This never made sense, because the UAE and Saudi Arabia gave no permission for the United States to attack Iran via their territories. 

In all this I was baffled in why Iran was wasting ammunition and drones on countries that weren’t attacking them. I already had a few ideas at that time, but I had no evidence of any kind. I still don’t but when you see the lines from the United States where we see “United States President Donald Trump told reporters on Sunday that an agreement with Iran is imminent and new talks were set to begin on Monday”, yet at present it is Monday 17:50 (Abu Dhabi time) and we see ‘Iran denies Trump claim that new talks will start Monday after he called off attacks’ (source: NBC). As such I have concluded that the initial thought I had yesterday when I stated “It is not enough that I succeed, all others must fail” is that what the United States is aiming for? Its biggest concern was that both Saudi Arabia and the UAE would propel forward and all these attacks on these nations have put a damper on their advances and It will take months to reset them. Is that what the United States are hoping for? But this is only possible if Iran cooperates here and Iran doesn’t like that Saudi Arabia and the UAE are making massive strides. It is possible, but it is massively speculative. I admit that and I have no evidence to support this. Now consider the clusterfuck the United States is involved in (as words go not a nice word, but it is used by the US Marines, so I grant the use of it). So as we count the settings, President Trump has claimed more than 40 times that the U.S. conflict with Iran was nearly over. All whilst I saw that Iran is still in talks with Oman about the strait of Hormuz and now Houthis both in Yemen and in Iraq are pushing for attacking ships in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. So, how exactly is all this won? I created solutions in the first week of march and it is now 6 months later. How is this in any way about a war? Why are refineries still pumping revenue for Iran? Why are distribution channels still operating? Did anyone in the pentagon (optionally ever) read the works of either Sun Tzu or General Carl von Clausewitz? If there is too much anti-China sentiments, they could have reverted to the lesser work of von Clausewitz. It becomes really simple. The timelines do not make sense. And I left my military post in 1982, so I might have unlearned a thing or two in 44 years. But I reckon that at present I know more on waging war than anyone in the Pentagon (I know, quite the statement, but that is what I see from over 40 declarations) and anyone who reads the messages should come to the same conclusion, even if you never served and your knowledge of armed forces is merely based on Stratego (a Dutch Jumbo Games board game). 

It irritates me that the media is not on top of all this, because both Saudi Arabia and the UAE are likely to be attacked again, there is no evidence of that, other that the IranWire article and the ‘text’ there is implying that actions are pending against Saudi Arabia. There is no way to hand any level of credibility there, but the chance is there and the acts that Houthi forces in Iraq are ready to act is there, the reliability of that is unknown to me. But with the settings we see, there are all kinds of issues and the fact that the media is glancing over this is too ridiculous for words.

I leave you with these thoughts. I cannot look at the US economy, because I have no idea whose data to trust. This US administration made all data debatable and suspicious. That is the reality of it all and the war sees to be playing in the cards of the United States, no matter what the cost for the United States is and that is actually a little scary. And I was not alone in this, Business Insider (at https://www.businessinsider.com/fed-interest-rates-kevin-warsh-mark-zandi-market-risk-economy-2026-8) gives us ‘A top economist says the Fed’s ‘opaque’ communication style is a serious risk to markets and the economy’ here we see ““If the Fed continues down this increasingly opaque path, a future meeting could trigger a serious market sell-off — putting the broader economy at risk,” Zandi wrote in a post on X on Sunday.” We get this from Zandi, the chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. So there is corroboration, but what he sees is not what I see (I am not claiming to see more, merely different parts and when someone like him says there are issues, I would be taking notice. Apart from all this, there is nothing more to say and I will leave it up to you to to see what is and what is not.

Have a great day today and if you are in Vancouver enjoy breakfast, when you are in Toronto, get ready for lunch, in Amsterdam enjoy coffee and in Abu Dhabi get ready for dinner. This all is making me hungry now, write more later.
