That is what I see, because 13 hours ago we were given ‘Trump vows to respond after Iran shoots down helicopter patrolling Strait of Hormuz’ (source: ABC news) so I was thinking (I did that at times) where did Hamas get the idea to talk until reinforcements and rearmaments arrive? So lets consider that “President Donald Trump has claimed that a deal or agreement with Iran is imminent or close to finalization at least 38 times since late March. Despite these repeated assurances, a finalized agreement has not materialized.” (Source: Google) So where did Hamas get that setting? From Iran, that’s who and it seems that the Current President of the United States is also falling for that ruse. At least my conscious is clean. I gave the military IP to both Saudi Arabia and the UAE, so whatever the USA does is on them. I saw the fallout and did something about it, or at least that is what I believe and the United States with their $26 billion dollar invoice for the damage they did to Iran, weirdly enough merely 4 refineries were ‘properly’ damaged. We are given “Strikes concentrated primarily in and around the capital, with at least four major oil storage facilities and petroleum processing plants bombed in the Tehran and Alborz regions, including the Tehran refinery” (source: Al Jazeera) I set the motion to damage all ten of them, so at present they are still getting revenue, but at best less than what they had coming in on on a daily basis. Still they damaged the Saudi and the UAE revenue, as such President Trump has a problem. He is falling for the old Iranian ruse, his strategy started on 28 February 2026. It is now 100 days later and Iran is making a fool of the United States. A setting many saw coming. And the stage that something had to be done is still out in the rafters. We see the accusations with words like ‘expectations’ and ‘suspected’ and so far no direct location is given other then ‘suspected to be underground’. As such the ‘suspected’ score is Iran 3 – United States 1 and this score is biting the United States and President Trump, because he is coming out as the loser, but no worry, he will find a way to blame it on Pete Hegseth and his army of Generals. Still the setting is that there is a larger stage where these generals seemingly did not set a proper war frame (or that is how I see it), you see it might seem nice to claim “Iran is bombed back into the stone age”, but after 38 claims of imminent deals and now that a $52 million Apache helicopter was shut down, Iran is getting more and more confident. Not a setting that the United States could use, yet only 37 minutes ago we hear that the United States responded in kind. So whilst we are given “Khatam al-Anbiya vowed that there would be further “devastating and more wide ranging strikes” to follow if the U.S. continued to attack Iran.” We need to accept that there is a plan in place and that the United States is following through on that plan. The question becomes what is the plan? (No answer is expected). And whilst last week we were given that ‘Pentagon must divulge cost of Iran war under House proposal’ (source: Military Times) with the part that matters “The measure, which has bipartisan support, was added as an amendment to the House version of the fiscal 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, a massive defense funding and policy bill. After more than 14 hours of debate, the committee sent the bill to the full House, where it’s expected to go to the floor for a vote in July.” It is the timeline that is worrying, because there are parties that do not agree with this ‘clambake’ and they will scuttle what they can and a lot can happen before July, but this makes short work of any timeline and plan and that is also part of the tally, no matter what others think. This administration is dealing with ‘enemies’ local and abroad. And whilst no everyone sees it that way, these local ‘adversaries’ might be playing right into the hands and the plans of Iran. So whilst I am not ‘in the loop’ (neither do I want to be in), my sole setting was the security of Saudi Arabia (because of Houthi terrorists and Iran) and the UAE (due to massive bombing attempts) and I am a guy with a certain need to direct action and taking out the infrastructure of Iran (at a fraction of the cost that the United States spend on it) seemed good business and my business is taking care of the enemy with whatever I can muster. Not the worst setting, but I a neither Emirati nor am I Saudi, so my hands are limited to what I can do, but no matter what, at least I am trying to make a difference and I am not falling for the Iranian/Hamas delay tactic. As such I created IP that could remove Iranian harbours and Iranian railways (and I handed it to both Saudi Arabia and the UAE). All set to tactics already used an now it has a 21st century IP coating. Still, the tally is continuing and soon my way might be all that is left to the Gulf States, but that is up to whomever is wrecking whatever plan the United States might have.
But the tally I am running is telling me that any nation who is seemingly using $25 billion to do the damage that we see, is running on empty and as I see it, the setting is weird, too weird for words. Now, I might be wrong, because I am not informed, but the setting seems to be off, what damage did anyone expect for $25,000,000,000? Only 4 refineries? My solution got the Iranian crippled for less than an expected $70,000,000. As such what is the real tally? When we look at the tally we see numbers, but the setting of what N is, that represent the numbers seems to be missing and I know numbers. I have been looking at them for over 3 decades. So whatever you think you get. The numbers are not making sense and I have military training, I saw the crossing at Rafah (1982), so I know what certain things are, not all things mind you. But the tally is off and whilst I know what the reason is, that part is making no sense in a so called ‘clambake’ (they pretend it is not a war, so why get called into a naming thing and merely give it another label).
And the press for one is ‘merely’ reporting on events and they are seemingly not asking the right questions. To be honest I do not know what to ask, I can merely see that the numbers do not add up.
So have a great day and watch yourself on this day of Wodan. (Odin’s day), a side effect from replaying God of War: Ragnarok in 4K, because at present I can. I merely forgot I had the game, I’ve had it almost 4 years.
