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.

Where the mind boggles

That sounds like quite the assignment, but it isn’t. It merely connects to the sides not looked at. I for one did not consider that the story for the last two days was by itself, but it fits the setting of the TV series Engonos I was creating over the last year. More of a setting towards the end of season one. It bares consideration, even though there are a few hiccups. One of them is the massive neglected way that Final Draft deals with copied text, It is a large headache and I was considering what to do and next is the setting that I might have to re-see the option of upgrading down the line and for now do it all in pages. Personally I think that this makes the matter worse (for now) but that inkling was a hopefully unexpected surprise on the horizon. Still there are options to consider. 

Still at present I am looking at what the world is throwing at me and it is a feeling. Because that is all  have to go with. There are a few reasons I do not trust the numbers that the United States throws at us and I will explain the setting that I have. First there is ‘The US economy added 162,000 jobs in August, more than double expectations’ (source: CNN) it shows that Leisure and hospitality added 62K jobs, in September? The summer is at an end and there might be a reason, but it feels like someone is passing the message that summer in the USA was not wasted, all whilst the international travel numbers have been down. Then we get (from an unnamed source) that ‘Trump Threatens Trade War on Deficit Countries If Fed Refuses to Cut Rates’, which is the bully tactic we expected to see, but a trade war on condition that the Federal reserve doesn’t cut rates? So if my accountant doesn’t hand me more money I am going to bully my clients? That is weird, isn’t it? So as we see: “President Donald Trump issued one of his most sweeping demands yet to the Federal Reserve on Friday, September 4, 2026, calling on the central bank to slash interest rates to the lowest level of any country in the world following a stronger-than-expected August jobs report that added 162,000 jobs and significantly exceeded forecasts, while simultaneously threatening to halt trade with every country the United States runs a trade deficit against if rates are not cut. “Great jobs number just announced, breaking all estimates (except mine!) by double and triple,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Friday, adding: “EMPLOYERS ADDED 162,000 JOBS IN AUGUST. Lower the interest rates because the U.S.A. is a much stronger credit than it was just a short time ago!”” But there was a reason for showing you this. You see, yesterday several sources gave me ‘Trump says will ask Europeans to repay US for aiding Ukraine’ which is something that wildly borders the insane. And as Europe is starting to realise that Russia could be moving towards Europe, there are a few sides to “US President Donald Trump said on Thursday he will ask Europeans to repay the American aid provided to Ukraine under the administration of his predecessor Joe Biden.” And there is the upside that he will be absent at the 9/11 memorial because there is every chance that people will lynch him there, just a thought to consider. You see, all this is making sense when you consider that a $40,000,000,000,000 debt and its pending interest bill is strangling this administration. We all see the bleak words “A nation cannot go bankrupt, it could always print money” but Germany did that in 1923, it was a nightmare slip unlike any German had faced before and 99% of all retirements were wiped out in a day, making their entire retirement less valued that a loaf of bread. The other 1% lost their value the day after. That is the setting that this US administration is heading for, because that is a bleak reality of the setting we see now and whilst there are people calling me crazy and they are ready to call me insane, but watch what happens, this setting is nearing its final battle. All this and the evidence (as given) is accepted by too many people as a “at no cost to the USA” which is already crazy as hell, but the headline ‘The US and Venezuela: a century-old relationship drenched in oil’ given to us by the Guardian with the subtext ‘Trump ally defends Venezuela oil deal amid ‘gunpoint diplomacy’ criticism’ and the additional stage of ’Nobel laureate Machado: ‘Illegitimate’ Venezuela regime has no right to strike US oil deal’ where questions needed to be asked of that Venezuelan regime, because the actions of an illegal act come to mind, but that is optional not on the US side. If the US is able to make a questionable political act there is merely the question if it was illegal and under that guise the UN would have to intervene, because that is what we all signed on for on October 24th 1945 and debt be damed (as some might say), but this setting is one that has grim repercussions for the United States, the question becomes (as the Guardian gives us “Decades later, little appears to have changed. After a brazen night-time kidnapping of the country’s leader earlier this year, Donald Trump announced last week that the US was taking majority control over about a fifth of Venezuela’s oil reserves. That deal, according to the White House, “secures our energy dominance for the next century”. How much it will benefit Venezuelans is yet to be seen. The country’s importance to the US has been proven time and time again over the past century. Home to what are now known to be the world’s largest known oil reserves, Venezuela kept allied planes, ship and tanks well fuelled during the second world war.” There is a sickening realisation that this money grabbing administration is out and about to secure whatever it can, because the funds are drying up, up to $90K per second and that realisation is something that Washington is feeling nervous about and whilst the Federal Reserve is doing its job, it is not to the liking of this administration, because Washington is ready to start additional trade wars if the interest is not lowered. The United States has become this desperate and whilst I noticed the Venezuelan issues 2-3 days ago, it matches the sentiment and all whilst we get to hear “The United States is currently experiencing a widely declared “golden age of AI,” driven by massive private tech spending and federal initiatives like the White House AI Action Plan” which I call a brazen misdirection because a golden age is felt by all, not by 6 tech giants showing money to each other and that setting was illuminated by the three stooges. They wanted to represent the banks in that matter. Isn’t it weird that in 1953 they did the same for AI? (at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pENxsLVR_Xs) I wonder if anyone else saw that nice relationship. So as some are realizing that the Golden age of AI was going to be late (I saw this setting over a year ago) we have to see what is left of the United States when the bills come calling, because whilst the United States is so called “repay the American aid provided to Ukraine” the dangers is that as “U.S. Treasury bonds faced a sharp sell-off and pushed yields to 20-year highs in August 2026, driven by surging oil prices, inflation fears, and a growing national debt” (source: the Guardian) another issue I saw coming and all whilst several nations are now withdrawing their gold reserves from America. And whilst we see (source: Reuters) that the U.S. Treasury announced it would double its long-end debt buyback operations from $2 billion to at least $4 billion per operation and they are already in deficit by 2 trillion dollars, I reckon that a figurative setting of adding $6 trillion to the US debt might be cause for concern. That last bit is my speculation, because I feel certain that the additional 2 trillion isn’t anywhere one the books and I recon the initial 2 trillion was negated and an operational cost that had not been settled in yet. So I might be wrong on the $6 trillion part, but after we see all that transpired, I wonder how wrong I am. 

The question now becomes, what will the United Nations do? It has a firm responsibility towards a nation like Venezuela too and whilst there are mental capacities in play (I for one have never received a free gift of $5 trillion and I would be hesitant to accept such a large amount, because Venezuela might not be liquid enough to hand over that amount of funds) but that is the setting and I do not envy the job of the UN at present, these settings are hitting us all at the same time and whilst I still have issues with some of the numbers handed to us. The setting is that the USA now has power over a fifth of the Venezuelan oil reserves set to over 17 oil fields holding an estimated 65 billion barrels of crude oil (source: the Conversation) this after we got whilst the camping trip to Venezuela was set and I raised it a year ago (December 2025) things were not making sense and after Greenland and Canada, I raised that. As I see it, the puzzle pieces are showing a nation to insolvent to continue and I might be wrong about that, I am no economist, but the numbers are telling me a framed picture whilst everyone else is showing me that the picture is different. I personally wonder who they are showing their colours to and I am unwilling to change my stance, I am no economist, but numbers I know and they are showing a different picture. Am I right, am I wrong? You see we used to rely on the media, but they lost too much credibility. It comes with the clickbait setting and the run to digital dollars.

So, feel free to disagree with me and have a great day today.

The Tourist package

That is not always what it seems, but in this case it is a setting that Google (Apple too) could facilitate. Not sure where Apple is, because I am an android person, but safari as I can tell (using my iPad and so forth) Apple could fit this setting too.

My mind was wondering as I was on a imaginary well deserved vacation to Abu Dhabi and I was walking the Yas mall. Some ideas struck me, there was no real reason of this and there was no setting to this, it merely hit me. So, when you are on vacation, you tend to be away from it all and for me (a pure workaholic at heart) that is not always as good as it sounds. And there the idea started to come. So whilst I was aware of Chrome cast and Google Streamer (a little less aware of that one). Ideas started to form. You see, we all have this setting that we want to know what is possible and the idea formed that Google needed an Away option. An encrypted setting that could make a difference. So as this ‘package’ is set to your mobile, it can be filled with all kinds of information

Favorite TV series
Your original location, 
Newspapers, 
TV stations,
News stations,
Sport details,
and a few more after this.

So whilst most hotels now have smart TV’s, the tourists do not use this to the max and that is where my idea came in. And it was not just hotel, there are plenty of places where you have access to a TV and there is the rub. Why not use any of these options?

So whilst in your hotel, the mobile can be set to focus on ‘away’ events and that could also impart with government settings. For example someone visits Abu Dhabi from Amsterdam and they are in Abu Dhabi and in stead of searching for all information, the app has an encrypted package that is fed into the system and through that Google/Apple is able to distill information to you and to your TV. Making sure that the package is not left in the hotel, it will remain on your mobile. And it is read to the Google streamer system (or its equivalent Apple system) so when you are wherever you are (I used Abu Dhabi as an example) the network will give you what you need to know, including government warnings (it there are any) The simple thing is that this system can be upgraded any place you want, but it is left on your mobile. 

So whilst we do not consider this directly, local news settings could be part of this and when hotels upgrade their Google/Apple streaming settings when they are ready all the guests tend to be ready too. So whilst you can direct search settings and compute them in the app you use, for example: ‘Netherlands, NOS, News, [Amsterdam], [Netherlands]’ and a whole range of other settings. For example your favourite news on YouTube like for example CBC News could be added and so forth. The idea is that you have a clear setting when you go on vacation and you will be instantly alerted to things happening when they are. And the you get back to your hotel and you select the app, the TV gives you the latest issues in play.

I reckon that Google/Apple might want to get ahead of this, because this idea doesn’t stay quiet for long and that is the case with any idea. So, if this interests you, have a go and be happy and if not, then not. Vacation is to be enjoyed, but I have learned that staying out of touch comes with a few setbacks and they need not be that for you. I merely had an idea and I decided to offer it to the net and see what comes of it. Optionally it is my delusional thoughts that have no place on vacations, but the setting in the USA at the moment are bringing that setting to the surface and whilst we acknowledge that Kathryn Bigelow’s ‘A house of dynamite’ is merely that, a movie, a story but when you see that the white house loudly announces “President Donald J. Trump has secured U.S. majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven oil reserves in Venezuela” and when we are also given “all at zero cost to the United States” people tend to get nervous, because a barrel yields about 19 to 20 gallons (72 to 75 liters) and as petrol is now at roughly $4 a gallon, the White House seemingly proclaimed that they got $5.2 trillion dollars in fuel, at zero cost? What kind of government does that? As such people are getting nervous and I thought of a solution where people could go on vacation and at a moments notice keep informed. That and the fact that people in Nepal could have used this solution optionally last week. It wouldn’t stop the disaster, but in times of stress information remains at a moments notice (if possible) and in arms length. So that is another idea and I might be Google ended, but as I see it Apple could use it too or Elon Musk’s Star link. Because in times of stress there is reason to opt this as wide as possible and I am not on the payroll of any of these three, I feel perfectly validated to hand it to all. 

Have a great day you all (hopefully free of stress)

Where is the win?

That is where I find myself. Apart from some noise that I am getting that I am an ‘alarmist’, which is fair. People do not see what I see and they are (massively) over the moon that everything will be OK with the US of A. I do not share that vision, but it is fair that they have their views. I get the alarmist setting, yet I feel that I am correct. So when the debts get any bigger, what do you think will happen? The USA has not been able to keep any budget and that was before the interest payments had become this high. On October 4th 2021 I wrote “Utter Insanity” (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2021/10/04/utter-insanity/) where I iterated that the debt was 17 trillion in 2013, America more than doubled that in a decade. It is now 40 trillion, the interest as I see it also doubled and that is the killer in all this. So whilst people think that I am an alarmist regarding the Civil War. What do you think will happen as the interest gnaws on whatever the USA falls in revenue each year. In fiscal year 2025, the U.S. federal government collected $5.26 trillion in total revenue. Now consider that 22% of all that revenue goes to paying the interest of the debt. And they cannot budget at present (or for the last decade), so the debt is only getting worse. So (to be safe) as per October 2026 the budgets will need to be set back by at least 30%, one third less for infrastructure, 30% less for social services and 30% less for whatever payments are going out. It will decrease the USA into a third world nation as I see it. And as I see it, this administration is only making it worse, because as others are rejecting ‘these American values’ (Tariffs for one) there is highly likely an uprising on its way, because Americans don’t have a real luxury sandwich at present and it will get worse. A lot worse. So as I personally see it, it is a civil war in the making and as we see the news on so many issues (the reflecting pool as one example) a setting that gives an estimated $16 million and that is before all the repairs are done. So if people lose 30% of what they were able to collect and these issues keep on coming up, the resentment and animosity are merely increasing. Then we get the price of gas and a few other things, so the people are losing what they had and prices are higher overall. And this is on this administration. So the purview of a incoming civil war in not without foreseen cause. Do I like it? No, I don’t but unlike the media, I merely care about the facts and all this is adding up to a sliding ramp straight down into an abyss. 

And the rejection of other nations on what this administration has done is very real and the entire Iran setting is pushing all the other nations too and they are all looking for a safe way out, because America is no longer a trustworthy partner, especially as North Korea is heralded as whatever they want to call this. So then we see the False AI up to all kinds of settings and we could blame all kinds of people in all this, but the reality is that what is called AI is merely fake AI and there are more and more voices (and a lot higher educated than me) calling what some call as AI as unreal and fake. So this ‘golden age’ will be at least a decade away, but I think it is more like 2 decades. All whilst Microsoft reported that over 80% of Fortune 500 companies use active AI agents and expecting widespread industry adoption to reach 1.3 billion agents globally by 2028. Really? Where will they get the power? At present the USA is facing brownouts. The US statistics reported that over 12 months one in four households faces a brownout. So where is the energy coming from, because these servers require massive amounts of energy. So when you see these elements of revenue, energy and abilities all whilst reduced manpower is required. So as we are given “AI agents are increasingly linked to corporate job cuts, and in a recent viral experiment, an AI agent manager even recommended firing a human worker.” Yet this is not the end of the story, there is also a backlash “Studies show a high rate of employer regret after cutting staff for AI, with many companies lacking ready systems or rehiring humans later under different titles” as such there are several issues from this setting. The costings that these firms had on less costs, is now becoming a more troubled setting because their costs are becoming a lot higher. This implies (I am very driven to imply here) that people are hired at less pay, and I get that this is the setting they face, but that also makes the cost of living a lot higher and a less rewarding life comes from that. How far this implicated life gets to is anyones guess and I reckon that this will change the lifestyle of many people, fueling distrust and discomfort on that setting. As I see it, the USA will face a serious chance in life styles. What was ‘advertised’ in life style magazines in 2023 will no longer be a reality, not for at least a decade for most people and that fuels the resentment and optionally louder shouts towards what I call a ‘civil war’ and there is corroborating evidence to that. “Nearly 46% to 62% of U.S. households (representing roughly 90 million adults) struggle to make ends meet and cover basic expenses like housing, food, and healthcare. This financial strain extends well past traditional poverty definitions, deeply impacting the American middle class” (source: Brookings), so is my view on this impending civil war so far fetched? These 90 million are likely to double when the 30% limits are pressed on nearly everyone, optionally as early as Quarter 2 2027. So as these facts rolled over my eyelids, I saw the puzzles are they became interconnected. Which I described as connected clusters, what some call cliquing, a subset of clusters where every single cluster is directly connected to every other cluster in the collection. There is no real science for this, but anyone in Market Research, Data Analyses and Data Parsing can recognise this effect and issues like gas prices and grocery prices will hit all these clusters at the same time. So when we get that, and we get that tourism goes out of the USA (for reasons will written a few times over) and others are also trying to make ends meet and that resolves around more and more competition and as the debt is strangling the resources this will be making matters worse. 

You merely need to see the different sides on that same stage but for different countries and you see that things are not looking good for the USA. So as I see it, there is no win, not for anyone and whilst the Guardian was giving us “Donald Trump amassed an unprecedented financial windfall during his return to the White House, reporting over $2.2 billion in revenue in 2025 alone, more than triple his earnings from the previous year. The vast majority of these personal financial gains stemmed from cryptocurrency ventures, digital assets, and branded merchandise, drawing severe criticism and ethics concerns from watchdogs and lawmakers regarding conflicts of interest”, so when you see this and the rest of the population minus perhaps 50,000 and they all lose 30% of what they were entitled to and whilst infrastructure will collapse in several places, resentment will grow. How far it will grow is anyones guess. But I feel decently certain that crime statistics will spike soon enough and that will give another resentment, because at 30% less, there will be less police, less first responders as well and as I see it, it will be bad news on top of bad news on top of bad news. So I think I showed here a few part of what I saw all along. But I feel it was essential to do this. I don’t mind being called an alarmist, it might be fair, but I saw data that merely gave me this inkling of a possible reality. 

Time will tell if I was right or wrong, but the larger picture is that the media never got to this point. Why not? Were they not supposed to inform us of the dangers that were coming our way? Because these negative points might impact Americans first, but we are all headed for more stringent settings. The EU and the commonwealth as well. I merely need to find a way out anywhere where I could make a decent penny. Have a great day all and try to enjoy a nice cup of coffee today.

The outstanding question

That is where I man at present. And there is little evidence at present. Trump sycophants are hiding the truth from all of us. And we need to be careful, not for their sake, but for ours. When this comes to blow and it will, whatever we put in place now is going to be elementary in our survival ad I am not making some grand gesture or some empty veiled threat. This is due on us all. To set out survival in better terms The Commonwealth nations need to stand with Canada, it is a first setting and this might already be happening, but it is not an outspoken setting. The people need to know that we all stand with Canada. To set this in some reality you might understand. Some professor in Chicago stated “The United States is heading towards the greatest political defeat in Iran in history” he compared the setting in Iran towards the setting that Lyndon Johnson faced in Vietnam. The ramifications will be on all of us. But there is a way out. You see, when the Commonwealth nations, the EU and the gulf states combine forces we are decently isolated from the implosion that will come to the United States. I have said this before several time over the last decade. But this is not enough, there is a question that both the Commonwealth and the EU must entertain. A the EU is likely having to deal with Russian elements and Canada with the United States, we need extra insulation and it is my believe that China will be a strong insulator. Their technology and innovation will find its way (and to some degree already is to the Gulf States) but to ad the EU and the Commonwealth is a primary setting. So whilst the United States, Russia and Iran fight out what their best chances are, they can get to each others throats. I reckon that in this state Russia might now attack the United States as it needs a victory to hold over its people and the apple of the United States will be the sweetest victory, it is totally hollow but that is what it might take. 

So whilst the United States is burdened with $40,000,000,000,000 debt and an annual interest of over a trillion dollars, the United States will end up having less and less year after year and when the money is gone and when the social services it did have are depleted we will see a civil war erupt na dit will not be photographed by Kirsten Dunst. I reckon that the billionaires in the United States will evade towards Monaco and the UAE, but that is a mere presumption in this. These original captains of industry will walk away and optionally set their new headquarters in both the EU and the UAE. They all sever ties with the United States and will offer jobs in these two locations to the chosen few. At that point it will become a open shooting range Americans in Mexico and that wall was meant to keep people out, not in, so it will be a decent folly to see how that wall will matter. In the north, Canada will see an incursion of all kind of Americans and some will be granted access, but they will be few, the rest will end up fending for itself in the US of A. America was always heading for this, but as I see it President Trump escalated this by a lot. So, soon we will see the media taking a break from click baiting and giving us the real deal, but as I see it, it is already too late. So whilst Saudi Arabia and the UAE will see their media empires grown into the EU and Commonwealth more revenue will be lost to the USA. So whilst some give that there is a twinkle of hope, I actually do not see it. The American media was all about streaming membership and whilst some might have considered that, 2027 is when this ends and whilst these people would now thrown whatever it had to physical media (Disney, Amazon prime and to a lesser degree Netflix) there is a larger audience reacting that setting and there is an opening for the Streaming gulf states. This is a mere fraction, but the entire bill that is the United States is set towards fractions and whilst by themselves they seem small these fractions have intersections pulling others into this mess and overall it becomes a massive bill no longer being received from any of them. I used to say “Clusters are nice until they unite though other means”, it is a set of data and market research settings that only seemingly makes sense to people in that quarter. And we are about to see how that equates to real life (as I personally see it). So whilst I had an idea of what President Trump was aiming for when I sort of quoted “In confusion there is profit”, the opposing setting is that outspoken alliances are the way to stop this and as a Commonwealthian I say stand with Canada now, and outspoken so. Just as we took the voice to support Greenland. So as we show that we deny the United States anything they have no business in owning, we also reject the Russian grounds we see evolve and stand by the Ukraine in all this. With the Gulf States we are over 50% of the population and it stand to reason (for several reasons) to stand shoulder to shoulder with China, but that is a personal view I reckon that the Commonwealth and the EU needs to see where they go. Yet as I see it, China offers insulation for the USA and Russia all at the same time. So whilst the USA is getting chummy with North Korea, they will seen see that North Korea only cares for North Korea, as such the United States is likely to become a target for the newly grouped Russian puppets, but that is merely my view and I could be wrong. 

But overall, I have been right a whole lot more than I was wrong and I have over 4100 articles in this blog stating these views, I have corroborating evidence. 

So the outstanding question becomes where do you stand? I get that you might stand with the United States, just be clear on what that future has in mind and whilst more and more see that the ‘Golden age of AI’ is not coming any day soon, no matter what they say. You need to see where you might want to consider your path to personal happiness takes you, because that is still the number one setting we all adhere to. You see, that golden age comes with costs “The economic costs of artificial intelligence encompass massive infrastructure investments, soaring energy demands, and complex labor market shifts where running specialized AI agents can rival or exceed the cost of human work” and as I see it, the United States can no longer afford to foot that bill. So whilst we see “Microsoft projects global enterprise deployment figures to scale toward 1.3 billion agents” and now the small realistic setting, What happens when the power issues erupt? Because that is merely a year away and these agents cannot work without power and a person can mildly survive without a fan and a fridge. Did anyone consider that? So how many servers does it take to ‘fuel’ 1,300,000,000 AI agents? So when the brownout comes where does that revenue end? So as we see that localized power disruptions and blackouts affect tens of millions of Americans annually. What happens then? So, as the U.S. Census Bureau show that roughly 1 in 4 households gets a brownout every 12 months. What happens when your power requirements aren’t met? Wouldn’t a salesperson or a customer care person have been a better way? All these clustered settings and they meet in several ways and now the drop in revenue come very real and still, every year the over 1 trillion in interest payments are due. 

So you tell me, why didn’t the media give you this? Because there are plenty of people more clever than me, so why didn’t they inform you? I know of a few people who did, but I got there earlier. So, what stopped them? Have a great day all. I am on route to kill me a few Uruk Hai culprits this morning.

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.

The nameless price of tariff 

That is the setting as I see it, beside the economic sides that apparently tariff never ever work in your favour, unless you have something the others do not, it is doomed for failure. So when I took notice of CBC’s ‘LeBlanc, U.S. counterpart meeting again after Canada displeased with latest tariff offer’ (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trade-tariff-talks-canada-us-canada-dominic-leblanc-jamieson-greer-9.7305811) where we see “The two sides have ramped up discussions since Trump threatened to impose 50 per cent duties on hundreds of Canadian goods, on top of sectoral tariffs already in place. Those tariffs are slated to come into effect Aug. 19.” And it makes me wonder if Canada really needs the United States. In my (massively limited) economic knowledge there is another side to all this. Could Canada switch what the United States need by selling that to other Commonwealth Nations, with optional sides sold to the EU and Japan? And add to that to deny the United States access to power and water? Because that is the mess that the United States is calling over themselves. Consider what mess the United States gets when power is denied to New York State, Minnesota and Michigan when it runs out of power before August 31st. What will the United States do then? And it is not the first time we hear that, because Premier of Ontario Doug Ford gave that option in March 2025 and perhaps he has the right notion, so whilst power is either shutdown or tariffed at 50% (I am of the mind that it should get an additional 50% surcharge on the 50% return tariff making it 75%) I reckon that the population of the United States will not be happy with their power prices getting close to doubled and I reckon that winter in the United States will massively suck at that point.

But these are not all the marbles as I see them. You see, FirstPost gave us mere hours ago ‘US flags India, EU, Canada among 40+ countries at risk of helping China evade Trump’s tariffs’ where we see “The Trump administration has identified more than 40 economies as potential transshipment risks and plans to use artificial intelligence to detect goods allegedly rerouted through third countries to avoid US tariffs.” (at https://www.firstpost.com/world/us-flags-india-eu-canada-among-40-countries-at-risk-of-helping-china-evade-trumps-tariffs-14038042.html), so as I see it, was my idea to sell to each other whilst shipments to the United States are set to zero? Let them sort its out themselves. No power, no goods and no services, all whilst we are already stomping down on the Cloud Act. Implying that the United States could never survive becoming 100% self sufficient and whilst these MAGA buffoons are show a realistic view on what happens when their big beautiful bankruptcy comes calling. So whilst Argentina and Bangladesh are ramping up trade using the Chinese Yuan, more will follow and the end of the dollar as the one global currency, so as we see nations selecting bilateral trade and foreign reserves to bypass the U.S. dollar we see a pool of nations that are considering this too. So whilst American bankers are dead scared of this and trying all kinds of channels and YouTube influencers making waves through statements like “No, the Chinese yuan is not going to replace the U.S. dollar as the world’s primary reserve currency anytime soon” and here is the real news. Five nations are already doing this and whilst there is some truth in “China limits the free flow of money across its borders to maintain economic stability. Global central banks cannot hold large reserves of a currency that is not fully and freely convertible” it only takes one Beijing meeting to open that door to one central point like the European Central Bank and that would open up the Yuan to the 27 member nations (they would have to go through the European Central Bank) but that is the next phase to this caper and it is only one meeting away from becoming a reality and that is what Wall Street fears, because the dollar would get devaluated from a near one on one to the Euro, to a setting it faces when it becomes a yen setting where 185 dollars gets you one euro and the American administration did this to its own population. So is this realistic? 

Well, that is the question, because I raised this to a degree in my story which I wrote on December 17th 2025 in ‘The neighbors have coffee’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2025/12/17/the-neighbors-have-coffee/) and you’ll have to read between the lines to see this. So as I see it, the United States is making the most serious enemies out there and Canada will be given options, because we like the economic splendour of Mark Carney (a bank governor turned Prime Minister) a lot more than we do the bully of the White House. And nations are voicing this much more clearly now. So when we consider the FirstPost setting of “Navarro said the White House is working with US Customs and Border Protection on an AI-enabled system designed to identify potentially rerouted shipments. The proposed technology would analyse information including shipping records, cargo routes and historical routing patterns to determine whether goods entering the US may have been transshipped.” And the hidden setting applies here. There is no AI, there is mere Machine Language and it is powerful, but it requires data and when others start evading the United States and merely deal with others, that system becomes useless almost immediately. We have no need to supply shipment papers to someone we’re not shipping to. That is the flaw in their thinking. That is the other side of transshipping, it allows for shipping to another nation all together. So, whilst harbour locations lose revenue and incomes, power is redirected to other locations, that formerly know as a big beautiful country is now becoming hollow, empty and that leaves Wall Street with nothing and a massively devaluated dollar. 

That is the setting some fought against, but there came to President of the United States opening his mouth again and the world seemingly has had enough. And I get that this is mere the darkest nightmare in doom speak, but consider how many of these points are out there? What is to happen when some of these people actually start what they considered in the past? What happens when the Commonwealth selects its brother (Canada) over the United States? We always relied on the United States when it was there, but we can no longer do that. It has a debt of 40 trillion now, it has a depleted and warped sense of military power and while we take these two in consideration, the United States with its BS tariff setting in now no longer the preferred ‘friend’ because that is what they are, a not so welcome acquaintance at a dinner party. That guest sitting down in any place is then regarded the loser table. And that is the reality of it all. The United States are no longer the highly regarded party in any given stage, Canada is and several nations see that. 

So whilst we see (in the CBC article) “The Americans are also seeking a deal that would see preferential access to Canadian critical minerals and which covers security and energy, the sources said.” They gave away their achilles heel. They need the critical minerals and energy, which is exactly what we can deny them. Their mention of security is merely a dose of Sweet ’n Low, but that is also the dangerous setting because the sweeteners of the United States are set to potential health concerns for Canada. And whilst we consider that Doug Ford is open to put American booze back on the shelf, he knows that this is merely an empty gesture, because Canadians no longer accept this as an option. So it stays on the shelf, never to be sold. 

A small but important distinction, so as we tally (a skill some American business lost, for that see yesterday’s article) the results. We need to consider that treating the United States as the pariah (a setting they used on China in 2018) is starting to take shape we also see ABC News giving us ‘100,000 sign petition to declare US ambassador to Canada persona non grata’ which is another step towards isolation. My darkest nightmare doesn’t sound so implausible anymore, does it?

Have a great day today and especially to our brothers and sisters in Canada.

Moments to drink to

So, as I took notice to the settings in the CBC (at https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/us-booze-bans-canadians-9.7300293) where we see ‘U.S. booze might end up back on Canadian shelves, but have we lost the taste for it?’ Where we see “Majority of Canadians say they won’t buy American alcohol if it becomes available again, recent poll shows” and that is merely the beginning. I (as an Australian) am also shunning American drinks and I am not alone in this. Optionally a fair share of people in the UK are on that same setting. And there are options for us. I for one am a fan of French Cognac (Martel/Hennessy), Australian Rum (Bundaberg), London Gin (Bombay Sapphire) Finnish Vodka (Finlandia), Swedish Vodka (Absolut) and there is Scottish Whiskey, prettier stated Scotch (Glenfiddich), Italian Limoncello (Villa Massa) and optionally Ice Wine from British Columbia (never had it, but I am curious) and there are plenty of Wine suppliers in Australia, Germany and France to have a clear setting of shunning American alcoholic goods. If there is 1-3 ‘essential’ drinks that are unique to the United States we can avoid them and shame all the friends who will go to that venue. That is the effect of the bully tactics with his 51st state remark. So even as we are given “So when she read on Friday that Canada was prepared to lift a ban on American alcohol sales as part of its trade negotiations with the Trump administration, Anderson says she felt disappointed. “But just because it goes back on the shelves doesn’t mean that sales are going to go back to where they were. The damage has been done,” she told CBC in an interview.” As such I am willing to bet that this was an empty point in the settings of the Prime Minster (Mark Carney), because he knew how much Canadians and Commonwealthians were shunning alcoholic good from the United States. A bully tactic that is costing that industry their foothold in several nations. So his beautiful big bill of bankruptcy is coming along fine. So when I see “Support for a continued boycott of U.S. alcohol was highest in British Columbia, where 80.9 per cent of respondents said they were unlikely or somewhat unlikely to buy U.S. booze again if it’s made available. That was followed by 74.7 per cent of people in Ontario and 73.9 per cent of Quebecers who said the same, the poll found.” I merely wonder how steep the decline is in the Commonwealth as a whole. So while we see “Trump has threatened to impose 50 per cent tariffs on some Canadian goods on Aug. 19 if Canada fails to lift some retaliatory trade measures against the U.S., including the alcohol bans. Those bans date back to early last year, when several provinces removed U.S. alcohol from the shelves at their respective liquor boards in response to Trump slapping a 25-per-cent tariff on Canadian goods.” There is a larger setting because as industries are failing to make revenue, more and more brands shutdown and they can all put the blame on the Trump Administration and even as Canadians remember how Howard Lutnick was (almost crying) like a little girl, they feel no sympathy and they remember the words given to them in “U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick criticized the current version of North America’s free trade agreement on Friday, calling it a bad deal and taking aim at Canada’s trade strategy ahead of upcoming negotiations.” And as I see it, it was what there was, in light of the 51st state banter and they reacted. So whilst the Prime minister might concede to lifting that part, the population of Canada to buy it, is another matter, it could merely gather dust on the shelves, right next to the elves there who will not be called into service for another 14 weeks. As such I wonder what will be left of the America distilleries and breweries in December 2026. Let alone (I believe) that Monty Python remarked that American beers were like making love in a canoe, it was fucking close to water. As such they could resort to Canadian, German and Belgium beers and there Canada could make trade deals too. A setting that set disaster all before President trump opened his mouth and whilst we see another dump of tariffs, the legal side will prove him wrong twice again and that is the setting of another nail of defeat in the bat of midterms. It all could have been avoided with proper respect and tally the losses that the United States are currently facing. So, as the Financial times is giving us ‘Will US inflation be cool enough to trim bets on a September rate rise?’ We have to wonder what the story is with all this whilst we also see ‘Greenback drops as weak US jobs data pushes out Fed hike expectations’ and we see “The US economy lost 23,000 jobs in July, the Labor Department said, compared with economists’ expectations for an increase of 80,000 jobs, according to a Reuters poll. The US unemployment rate fell to 4.1 per cent as the labour participation rate fell to a near five-and-a-half-year low of 61.4 per cent.” I am not sure what numbers to believe, but the overall picture puts the United States in a harmful place and the danger of self harm is clearly there, so whilst we get pumped up results in one area, the setting of ‘unfair treatment’ (a cry story from Howard Lutnick) give me the shivers, because if the media to a larger extent is pushing overhyped results in one area, whilst drowning out the negative stories on the other side there is seemingly no good US economy, it is (figuratively) an economy above a sinkhole and that tend to lead to disastrous settings. As I see it, the Trump administration should have played a different game from the start and as we see ‘The US has collected about $19b of Venezuela’s oil money. Where is it?’ (Source: AFR) with “The Trump administration has collected more than $US13 billion ($18.6 billion) in revenues from Venezuelan oil sales this year, according to FT calculations, but has said almost nothing about what has happened to the money.” The sinkhole it is set above is becoming more and more distinct and there is no escaping the fallout of that event and that is before the other elements start playing out, because they will come in the worst time possible. So we could say “We’ll drink to that”, but for the 340,000,000 citizens of the United States it is not good news. As such there is a rather large issue forming and it is not tendered to by American alcohol. Merely by other nations suddenly getting a windfall coming from American insults and those people at any given time will stand with Canadians and that lesson is about to hit hard in Washington DC. 

So have a great day this day.

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.
