The thought was there

I have been giving you all the works over the last month as the United States is setting new levels of non-conformist thinking (aka stupidity), but one thought was creeping in the back of my mind, because it partially didn’t make sense. I kept it under the hood and brooded on this. You see, the Guardian brought it to the top once again (yesterday) with the headline ‘US defense spending would rise $445bn under Trump budget plan, with steep cuts elsewhere’ We get that the United States is overly proud of its military, but that much overspending does not make sense. That is, if current quarters hold. But that is not the case is it? His NATO rhetoric, his biased plans to include, there is something amiss in all this. It reeks of Germany at 1938. Germany had jobs for all people, it would be a beautiful, beautiful new world where everyone worked. He was not lying (for the most) but we merely never thought that this would go in a certain direction, did we? Now we see his boasting of setting NATO on its feathers, which means that there is every chance that 65000 troops are coming back from Germany and Italy (and a few more places). This gives me the willies. I reckon that the United States is so deeply in debt that he merely sees the annexation of Canada and Greenland to thwart his broken wallet from collapsing on itself. As I see it, Iran is now a bust, so he goes back to Canada and Greenland and annex it. I reckon that he will need the 65K troops to cluster in eastern Canada, and a lot in Western Canada (to push towards Greenland) that setting would fit the bill of a maniacal narcissist. And it is only a fear I have, because I remember WW2, I was born just after it and I saw Rotterdam after the bombing. It took well over a decade to fix what was done to my city and I few we will see a similar setting happening now. It is only this scenario that calls for the actions the US government is seemingly making now and when the bill is due, no one will like President Trump for hat he does, but 100 million people will inwardly smile, because the bill that comes due to all is delayed a few more years. So that hidden fear I spoke last night makes it now essential to select China as a new partner. Or the alignment with BRICS, Because when the United States is in this predicament, China is the only player that will instill fear on the United States and the Commonwealth will not be able to deal with the United States. We never thought it would come to this, but the elements are lining up exactly to this scenario.

The important question becomes ‘Could I be wrong?’ 

Yes, that is definitely true, but the elements that we are given like ‘bombing back to the stone age’ and replacing its generals, optionally for fresh new generals who would do whatever the United States needs. That is the setting we are given and the White House will use Iran as an example of what is to come with anyone siding against America, as such we are now coming into a field where we are watching ourselves getting scared stiff, or go to war. It is not a scenario I ever envisioned, but I still remember what was left of Rotterdam and the noises we hear now are eerily similar. 

So whilst we are given in the Guardian “Under the proposal for the 2027 fiscal year beginning on 1 October, defense spending would rise by 42% to $1.5tn, $445bn higher than its level in 2026. The funds would go towards programs intended to ensure “the United States maintains the world’s most powerful and capable military”” the question becomes how much time do we have left? Because there is no way that Canada is ready for well over 65,000 troops at the border, they will push into Greenland with not too much opposition. All the lollies President Trump wants and after that he will make a narcissistic excuse why it is better for the world, why the United States is so much better than whatever comes in its place. As I see it, the cure was a lot harsher than the disease called greed. What we see now is a nation that will take from anyone else as long as it serves their purpose. 

But still I wonder, could I be wrong? Am I seeing figments of my paranoid delusion playing itself out? And I merely have to look towards Venezuela and Iran to see that I am not. And whatever Washington and Wall Street think the have, they will then be known as the enemy of the world, greed unchecked and unbalanced is the setting that comes and scorches everything else. In that same setting we can wonder what these data centers were meant to hold? The data of everything non-American? It is a wonder but when you see that the push for data centers is set to the maintenance of greed in all its records. So consider where you are and what you are optionally overlooking. My mind is shivering for what is coming to all our shores. 

Have a great day.

The idea is not novel

That is what I feel at present. CNBC gave us all 12 hour ago the ominous title ‘Trump is paying TSA agents — but where is the money coming from?’ (at https://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/01/tsa-trump-dhs-shutdown-airports.html) The article is giving us a few sides, like:

Where does the money Trump is using come from? 
How much is available? 
How long can Trump continue to pay TSA agents if Congress doesn’t soon come to a deal?

You think this is a simple setting, but as I see it, it is not. It reeks like a Ponzi scheme. Paying one lot from a stack mean for other means. Now in normal settings we get this, pile one a has a surplus (or reserve) and it deals with a few items not meant for it, but I personally believe that CNBC uncovered part of the setting that was never meant to be seen by anyone, because it alerts the media to questions it was never meant to realise in their destiny for digital dollars.

An d personally I wonder what the budgeting departments can give the world in uncovering what is really happening, because as I personally see it, when any government is totaling their revenue towards a Ponzi scheme kind of balancing, we can deduce that the United States is now in its final game, desperate to survive whatever comes next. President Trump played (by some) an essential game to make The United States look important (or is that impotent?) The first game was Canada that it had to be part of these beautiful states somehow united and he had already a designation for this, their 51st state, a state bigger and more beautiful than any other, but the Canadians (bless them) were not falling into that trap. They were saved by their Prime Minister, who was the Governor of the Bank of England before he got back to Canada and he saw through President Trump like an adult watching a toddler trying to figure out the functions of a spanner. It was never a competition. Now that Canada was on alert, they were possibly alerting Denmark on what the United States had in mind for the rare earths in Greenland and they were willing to pay (yet no more than $0.01 on the dollar) as they lacked certain funds and Denmark got Europe to stand by them and get angry too. As such the expenditure tap of Europe was getting closed towards the United States of America, and now the United States arranged for two settings, the first was that more allies were furious with them and with the closed expenditure tap to the end date of the United States came rushing forward. But President Trump had lived by divide and conquer for most of his life, so he used bully tactics to get Venezuela to heel and Wall Street rejoiced for 5 minutes. The problem is that Venezuela has plenty of volatile sludge, but it is oil by another name and not that useful in the machines available to the United States. And another setting was thwarted.

So now we get to the current dilemma. Iran, all useful and none of it at the needs for the United States. So what does it do? It bombs Iran into the Stone Age and is now ready to invade Iran and now because it was forced (as some say) for the United States (as well as Israel) to came to the setting of the new colony of Kharg Island, it can tap from those billions of barrels of oil. But Iran casually included the guy states by attacking it and these now will demand their reparations to be funded thorough Iranian oil. I casually had another thought, why let the United States ‘win’ when we can stop Iran’s infrastructure and that will bring out the real culprit. As such I ‘bestowed’ IP on Saudi Arabia and the UAE so that they can get their Dirhams worth and in the mean time there is enough delay to bring the plight of the United States to bare, because the media does nothing to do this. I might not be as clever as Canadian Prime Minster Mark Carney (a multiple winner of economic awards), but I do have my own creative sides and I brought them to bare. 
So whilst others are lulled in a setting of sleep, I am seeing that CNBC has seen some of it and when others are starting to realise that “The White House has not laid out exactly where within the tax and spending bill the money is coming from, but Bobby Kogan, senior director of federal budget policy at the Center for American Progress, said there is only one plausible section that the administration could be citing. Buried deep in the more than 300-page measure is a section that sets aside $10 billion “for reimbursement of costs incurred in undertaking activities in support of the Department of Homeland Security’s mission to safeguard the borders of the United States.”” This document allegedly is covering the payment of several bills with that $10 billion, but siphoned in different ways the setting of a Ponzi scheme is met. So what is the Ponzi scheme?

A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors rather than from actual profit earned. Promoters promise high, consistent returns with little or no risk, creating an illusion of success that attracts more capital until the scheme collapses due to a lack of new investors.

And as I personally see it, they are funding AI and their StarGate in similar ways. The funds have have dried up and the game is over, but this president (Wall Street too) don’t believe that the party will ever end, but the markers are there. 

So could I be wrong?
That remains to be seen, it is possible, but behind the ‘rhetoric’ and the film flam abilities of some to curdle milk, the audience is told to believe in a setting that is seemingly no longer there. And I believe that the United States is now playing with marbles they never owned that others have to pay for the setting they invoked. Like some sources give us ‘Trump Wants Gulf Allies to Pay US for War Despite Bearing Brunt of Iran Strikes?’ And the use of ‘might’ is overly used, but it is all he has left and I don’t agree. I gave the Saudi Arabia and the UAE ways to deal with Iran, paying the United States was never on my mind (or valid) and it is another setting we are given that the United States is running out of money and they have less and less in their allowance sack. As I see it, it is worth less than the empty sack.

So, whilst you are considering all the ways I might be wrong, the larger setting is ‘Could I be right?’ A setting that many are rejecting just out of the notion to reject it as the hard truth is too much to bare. Have a great day.

And the losses continue

That is the setting that I now see coming. The losses are on the United States of America and their commander in chief (that guy in the White House) is to blame for what comes next. You see, there needs to be a consequence for being as stupid as some people are. To this effect I hand you the following. It was presented to me by SBS News (at https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/trump-tells-allies-to-go-get-your-own-oil-after-they-refuse-to-join-strikes-on-iran/chkb28a1q) where we see ‘Australia responds to Donald Trump’s ‘get your own oil’ tirade’ first there was the ignorant ploy which was presented to all of us by the BBC on March 8th 2026 (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9dn3j04lydo) where we were given ‘Trump accuses Starmer of seeking to ‘join wars after we’ve already won’’ it was tactically a stupid move to make. He had no won yet and here he is blowing off the British navy (and its PM). This was given to us together with the quote ““The United Kingdom, our once Great Ally, maybe the Greatest of them all, is finally giving serious thought to sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. “That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer – But we will remember.” We then get (on March 20th, by Al Jazeera at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/20/cowards-trump-slams-nato-over-lack-of-support-in-us-israel-war-on) the headline ‘‘Cowards’: Trump slams NATO over lack of support in US–Israel war on Iran’, which is of course a little weird as he had already proclaimed victory on March 8th, where we see “Trump has been calling for major US allies to help secure the safety of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz which Tehran has effectively blocked.” Here we get a slightly different setting. The attacks by the United States and Israel are not coming from a declaration war, President Trump needs US Congress for that. So NATO cannot get involved as the articles of war are almost clear as water and NATO does not have to get involved because there is no declaration of war. NATO could come to the aid of the UAE, Saudi Arabia and optionally Qatar if this was officially asked. But that comes with legislation of a slippery slope. NATO would have to go against its own ally the United States of America. Not a setting any of the NATO members are willing to entertain. It comes with the added ““Now that fight is militarily WON, with very little danger for them, they complain about the high oil prices they are forced to pay, but don’t want to help open the Strait of Hormuz, a simple military maneuver that is the single reason for the high oil prices. So easy for them to do, with so little risk,” he wrote.” There he goes off again with his setting of a military won event. It seems that there was no victory and plenty of Iran was bombed but Iran never gave any noise of surrendering, in the meantime Saudi Arabia and the UAE are still attacked by Iran with missiles and drones. No act by either of them warrants that and no one seems to call Iran to the stage to hold Iran accountable. So now (through SBS) we get:

“Trump singled out the United Kingdom and France as unhelpful in the month-long war that has roiled global markets, driven up energy prices and seen Iran effectively close oil tanker traffic through the Strait. “All of those countries that can’t get jet fuel because of the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you: Number 1, buy from the U.S., we have plenty, and Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Tuesday (local time).”

Here we get two new settings. The first one given is that we all buy American (never an option) or we take it from the strait of Hormuz under the guise of delayed courage. The second option is basically an invitation to plunder Iranian oil fields, which might be illegal in several ways. But there is a third option, likely overlooked by the United States.

Canada is the largest foreign supplier of oil to the United States, exporting roughly 97% of its crude oil exports—about 4.3 million barrels per day—to the U.S. in 2023. While the U.S. relies on Canadian heavy crude for many refineries, Canada is diversifying export routes via the trans mountain pipeline expansion. It is my suggestion that Canada delivers that oil to the Europe and the United Kingdom (at a price). This is direct revenue that Canada will enjoy and they don’t have to deal with some bully in the south. The UK being in the Commonwealth will likely like this solution (as will Australia) and if there is freedom to change venue (like in there is no contract stopping Canada) they can have a new customer making the United States less of a customer. We won’t bother the Middle East and both Europe, News Zealand and Australia will optionally this solution a few dollars per barrel cheaper (which is merely a speculative discount).

I wonder if the United States had a clue that this option is available to the countries and I reckon that President Trump looked at that setting from the start, did he not? It is a clear setting in the Art of War which was published around 2500 years ago. I feel stupid having to illuminate this track, but there is too much stupidity in the media, so I feel vindicated handing an optional smile solution to the Commonwealth, and I am always willing to hand any option so that PM Mark Carney does not have to deal with the United States of America. 

Oh, and the other lie that we see is “like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran,” but it was he who stopped the United Kingdom from sending help in the form of sending two aircraft carriers to the Middle East, which came with the response “That’s OK, Prime Minister Starmer, we don’t need them any longer” as such what is he crying about? 

In the meantime I considered through design two shapes of IP to be used on the roads of Iran to stop convoys, no bombing run required and as I see it, it would cause delay upon delay setting whatever comes from Russia via other roads delayed by weeks, if not months. And as far as I can see, the IP for harbours is still unchanged, so that is running along nicely. The rail version is still on route as well. So Iran is about to face its own forms of hardship beyond what they already have.

So whilst the losses continue, they are likely to hit the United States as well as Canadian oil will now find new roads into the hands of allies and President Trump clearly stated “buy from the U.S., we have plenty” as I see it, we would much rather buy it from Canada and if you have enough, you don’t need more oil from Canada and they can be the savior of the Commonwealth and Europe all at the same time. Sometimes life gives you a nice curveball.

So whilst the losses for the United States continue, they now have less to capture all over the globe and the next interest payment, which is projected to exceed $1 trillion in fiscal year 2026, or roughly 17% of total federal spending, is due soon.

Have a great day.

Is this real?

That was the first thought I had when certain thoughts crossed the suspected facts that ABC gave me. After finishing last night exercise for Sony, I had a few more thoughts on a ‘European tour’ where those wacky races were staged around world items like the Roman Colosseum, That tower in Paris (the Eiffel tower) optionally, the roman race also went passed the Vatican and the Paris races took us over several bridges, which led me to London where the Tower Bridge was the envy of every racer. Then there was the race from Amsterdam to Stockholm with windmills and all. Then the greek race passed the Acropolis. The idea is sound. With Deeper Machine Learning Sony could complete 90% nearly automatic, and the racers (Mom, Dad and the two kids) can have a learning experience whilst people race, all whilst seeing these amazing places (racing passed it at mach speed) A setting that seemingly no game has and this gave me the idea, that you can unlock ‘photo moments’ that any racer can unlock and after the race you can get a single shot, or a group shot at the bequest of the one unlocking that photo moment. Germany has its own Kodak moments with several points, as does France, Italy Greece, Spain and the Netherlands. Just little funny moments that you can use and it is locked to the racer you unlocked it with. But enough about that. 

ABC gave me (you too, 10 hours ago) that ‘Iran war live updates: Donald Trump says he wants to ‘take the oil’ in Iran’, which is no real surprise as we are given “US President Donald Trump has told US media he wants to “take the oil” in Iran and that the US could also “take Kharg Island”.” I stated 5 days ago 

“As I personally see it, the too broke too function setting is now in play and it makes sense that President Trump went after Canada (aka 51st state), Greenland (annexing it) whilst pissing of Europe and Denmark and after that Venezuela and whilst the oil is ‘worthless’ in the immediate setting and now it is up to Iran to capitulate their oil, which the United States can use. So, is my presumption just some blabber as it fits the situation?”

I did so 5 days go in ‘The price of war’ (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/03/25/the-price-of-war/), so was it hard to make a presumption when some players are so dim that it is all they can see? Do you really think that he had the setting of $200 billion at that point, or was he already counting the barrels with his greedy eyes? Is the United States now so broke that they have to resort to plundering? It is an easy enough question. So whilst we are given “US media reported overnight that the White House was considering such an operation, as the war between the US, Israel and Iran passed the one-month mark.” Whilst he was considering ‘annexing’ states as “He also said the US could capture Kharg Island” we get the scripted version as ““To be honest with you, my favourite thing is to take the oil in Iran but some stupid people back in the US say, ‘Why are you doing that?’ But they’re stupid people,” he said. “Maybe we take Kharg Island, maybe we don’t. We have a lot of options. “It would also mean we had to be there for a while.”” So as we are called stupid people, I wonder why the media is not investigating how broke the United States really is. I get that I am not a voice you need to consider, but David Kelly gave similar warning and he is a person that should be listened to as a strategist at JP Morgan. The United States President has been so focussed on what some might call money grabbing settings, that his strategy might be seen by a 5 year old, but that is merely my point of view.

The Financial Review gives us ‘Trump says he wants to ‘take Iran’s oil’ like Venezuela’ (at https://www.afr.com/world/middle-east/iran-warns-us-ground-troops-will-be-set-on-fire-as-marines-land-20260330-p5zjrb) where we are given “Donald Trump has said he wants to “take the oil in Iran” and could seize the export hub of Kharg Island, as the US sends thousands of troops to the Middle East. The US president told the Financial Times in an interview on Sunday (Monday AEDT) that his “preference would be to take the oil”, comparing the potential move to Venezuela where the US intends to control the oil industry “indefinitely” following its capture of strongman leader Nicolas Maduro in January. The president’s comments come as the US-Israeli war against Iran has thrust the Middle East into crisis and sent the price of oil surging by more than 50 per cent in a month. Brent crude rose above $US116 a barrel on Monday morning in Asia, near its highest level since the conflict began. Trump said: “To be honest with you, my favourite thing is to take the oil in Iran but some stupid people back in the US say: ‘Why are you doing that?’ But they’re stupid people.” Such a move would involve seizing Kharg Island through which most of Iran’s oil is exported.” Parts of this were also said by ABC, so not much a surprise there, but it still shows us all that the United States might be a lot more broke than anyone realizes and that is not investigated, even if it was only to debunk people like me and David Kelly, so was I onto something? 

A connected setting is given to us by the BBC who gives us ‘Partial government shutdown becomes the longest in US history’ (at https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cyv1qpzq5v7o) and that is only in part on the TSA, but the larger setting is “The partial US government shutdown has become the longest in American history, as lawmakers in Washington continue to fight over funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).” The last one was in November 2025 and it is now at 44 days. So this bickering is about the funding and as I see it the United States might not have any and in all this people are still fighting over data centers and power supplies (of those centers) and none of it is bringing in the cash as I see it. So whilst the people are lulled in a state of economic safety with “White House border czar Tom Homan said on Sunday TSA agents should start receiving pay early next week after President Donald Trump signed an order attempting to free up cash. It is unclear, though, whether Trump’s executive order will face legal challenges, as the US constitution tasks Congress with authorising spending for the federal government.” There is a nasty shadow at the bottom of that well, it might merely be the floor of that funding, but that is as clear as the statement that come will say is coming in the trend of “The United States has run out of money” and as such I am wondering: “Are these settings real?”

It might be oversimplified, but that is where the current media is leading us and there are too many sources leading to this train of thought. And there might be another story, but the media is chasing digital dollars and this does not fit their new mission statement.

Have a great day and consider that if this armed conflict was all about the oil, there are several places in the middle east that will hand the Trump administration a fat bill for damages and in that trend there is every chance that they will tell the Trump Administration to get their bases out of their country, they might replace the United States with a Chinese presence and as such it will increase all kinds of pressures on a global level. A setting that could have been prevented as I personally see it.

The price of war

That is something that is on everyones mind. It isn’t always voiced as much, but it is there. From the increased price of oil, the increasing of groceries or the impeding absence of pay for the TSA. They all refer to it as one, but in fact it is the other.

U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, allegedly said “Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.” I am using allegedly here, because I am not sure where he said it, the quote was passed to me. I had heard things of a similar nature in the last few days, but I cannot say if it is real, or if people are merely quoting each other. But it is one view and the lack of communication that the United States is releasing does not bode well. And beside that a mere 4 hours ago, we were given ‘Donald Trump says Iran sent US ‘big present’ as Pentagon readies thousands more troops for Middle East’ by ABC (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-25/iran-war-trump-to-send-thousands-more-troops-to-middle-east/106493972) where we see “Donald Trump says the United States is in negotiations with Iran to end the war as the Pentagon reportedly prepares to deploy thousands more troops to the Middle East. The US president said senior members of his cabinet were in talks with Iranian officials, who he said had agreed to “never have a nuclear weapon”.” We then get ““I’m not going to tell you what the present is, but it was a very significant prize.” He added that the mystery gift was related to the Strait of Hormuz — the critical choke point at the centre of the conflict through which about 20 per cent of the world’s oil supply passes.” It is my believe that if you hand a present, it is shown to the world, if not, it is merely heresy (aka bullshit), so are their boots on the ground coming in Iran? Are there actual peace talks? All questions that are not met by any kind of tangible evidence and the media is not asking the hard questions. 

I believe (aka speculation) that America is now so broke that it cannot pay for some if its bills and we see the beginning of a United States kind of Ponzi scheme. It is paying some bills and not others, those are (speculatively) paid next month. One such setting is the TSA, they apparently have not been paid since Valentine day. And as I see it, the media is not putting their eyes on this. Why not? So whilst we are given “TSA agents are working without pay because a partial government shutdown has halted their paychecks. As of March 17, 2026, this disruption is causing long security lines at airports due to increased call-outs and officers quitting during the busy spring break travel season.” And as TSA agents are considered “essential” workers, meaning they must continue to work without immediate compensation. So how does this compute? It does not. As I personally see it, the too broke too function setting is now in play and it makes sense that President Trump went after Canada (aka 51st state), Greenland (annexing it) whilst pissing of Europe and Denmark and after that Venezuela and whilst the oil is ‘worthless’ in the immediate setting and now it is up to Iran to capitulate their oil, which the United States can use. So, is my presumption just some blabber as it fits the situation? I have been writing about the impeding bankruptcy of the United States for almost 10 years. So am I wrong? I could be, because the patterns match the situation does not mean I am right, but there are more signs all around us that seemingly proves me right. Here I rely on ‘seemingly’ as there is a setting of experiencing apophenia, a person who sees patterns that aren’t there and I am clever enough to recognise this situation. I have seen it enough times in others, to realise that I am in such a premise as well. 

So, is it experiencing apophenia, or is it patternicity, or “the human tendency to perceive meaningful patterns, connections, or intentionality in random or meaningless data” either could be true, or I might be on to something. Normally the media is an option, but for the last decade it has been chasing digital dollars as well as relying on creating flames to keep the click puppets active. None of this gives the media more credibility and as such we are in a difficult spot. We might see what is, but those who should know are not doing their jobs because it doesn’t align with their business needs. Their business needs now come first and that is also the price of war. Whatever they need, is what others seemingly allow them to get. An almost vicious circle with no clear premise, no clear borders and a fluidic stage. Almost like setting the stage for acrobats and letting clowns stage the field, all whilst the stage master announces the person as Bello Nock. But when you were aligned to see acrobats, are you short changed, or are you given additional entertainment. When those lines become blurry, those behind the stage master see their field clear. I feel that this is the setting we are in now and when the United States is paying all bills (like the TSA) and no immediate bills are left, there would be the chance that I am completely wrong. But is that the case, or has the world moved on from the setting that John Maynard Keynes left us and are we in a much more novel stage that people like me cannot comprehend because I never learned to be an economist?

It remains a valid question, I feel that I am right, but is it real? Am I experiencing apophenia, or is there a stage of patternicity in play? And is this true, or are the ringmasters in play to make sure that the larger population cannot distinguish between the three.

Have a great day and don’t forget to feed the dolphins, because they will thank you for all the fish and you won’t know why.

Alleged confirmation Bravo

That is what I saw. It was less then an hour after the previous article, as such I thought it was essential to get this to you quicker than the usual grace period of 15-20 hours. First news I saw was Deutsche Welle (at https://www.dw.com/en/iran-war-trump-says-no-more-israeli-attacks-on-south-pars/live-76422645) where we see ‘Trump says no more Israeli attacks on South Pars’, so why would anyone keep the refineries save of their enemies? Sun Tzu in the Art of war gives us plenty of reasons to stop Iranian money sources. And the article gives us “US President Donald Trump has threatened to “blow up” Iran’s South Pars gas field if Tehran continues retaliatory strikes against Qatar. He also promised Israel would stop its attacks on South Pars.” So one is threatening to do harm, the other one is actually doing harm and that is now stopped? To me (which might be wrong) is the setting that the United States want what Iran has and they are willing to put boots on the ground to set these places safe for the United States. And all along the Strait of Hormuz is still closed (to some effect). So whilst the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar remain under attack, others are cleaning their slate to get into the Iranian oil. And only 30 minutes ago we hear (via the Guardian) ‘Hegseth claims Trump ‘knew nothing’ about gasfield attack, declines to say when war will end’ as such we get a new setting. If this so called war is set in motion by the United States and Israel and these two do not talk strategy, what on earth is going on? As such I would like to call to attention Admiral Daryl L. Caudle, Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), General Randy George, the current Chief of Staff of the United States Army, General Kenneth S. Wilsbach, Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force and General Eric M. Smith, who serves as the Commandant of the Marine Corps to attention. Not because I mean them ill will, but what kind of military is Pete Hegseth making them out to be (this might be restricted to the commanders involved) and that is also up for debate. So when we are given by the Guardian “When asked by a reporter whether he felt Israel was pursuing its own objectives, in relation to the attack on Iran’s South Pars gasfield which Donald Trump said the US “knew nothing” about, Hegseth said: “We hold the cards. We have objectives. Those objectives are clear. We have allies pursuing objectives as well,” he added. He explained earlier in the press conference that the US’s objectives were to destroy Iran’s missiles, launchers, defence industrial base and navy, and for Tehran to never obtain nuclear weapon.” As I see it, there are no clear objectives, there is seemingly no clear communication and that is the mere start of this pile of stuff that makes the grass grow in Texas. I was in the mindset to destroy the capabilities of Iran (which I made available free of charge for both the UAE and Saudi Arabia. When you consider harbours and rails, Iran would be hindered immensely by taking those two out of the equation. There was also the need for someone to bomb the 10 refineries. Not threaten, just demolish these places. Refineries can be rebuilt (over time) and it would hinder Iran near completely and as these places are gone, its money spending days are over and as I see it, without money, there wold be a larger problem creating missiles and drones, they all cost money and resources. It might be oversimplified, but I am no longer in the army, actually I left the army before the Internet became a popular thing.

In addition we are given “Badr Albusaidi abandoned the usual reserve of diplomatic language to call the war a “catastrophe” and said Donald Trump’s administration had “lost control of its own foreign policy”. Albusaidi claimed the US and Iran had been “on the verge of a real deal” on Iran’s nuclear program twice over the last nine months, including in June last year when the process ended with Israeli-US attacks on the Islamic republic. He mediated a second round of indirect negotiations that resumed in Oman on February 6, with the final round held in Geneva on February 26. “It was a shock but not a surprise when on February 28th – just a few hours after the latest and most substantive talks – Israel and America again launched an unlawful military strike against the peace that had briefly appeared really possible,” Albusaidi wrote.” I cannot respond to this, but to see the accusation that the United States had “lost control of its own foreign policy” is troublesome to some degree. Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Oman as such I reckon he knows a few things and an accusation of that degree is troublesome. At present as I see it, this falls in the corner of President Trump and Marco Rubio. As such this accusation falls on their turf. Now (only 6 minutes ago) we are given “We’ve just heard from Pete Hegseth. He reiterated the claim from Donald Trump that the US president knew nothing about the attack on Iran’s South Pars gasfield. However, Reuters is reporting that Israel says its attack on the gas facilities was coordinated with the United States. It cited three Israeli officials.” And weirdly enough I wonder how these 4 United States commanders would react as we have a setting with three alleged Israeli officials. So who are these officials? If they are luggage officials at Ben Gurion airport listening to their radios it is one thing, if it involves members of the Israeli air force or/and Mossad, it becomes a very different thing. As such what does Reuters have? I do not know the source as such it is all alleged and presumably. It is just my thought on that setting. 

All this might be my economic downfall, but that is also presumed and even as I have data going back years, it merely might have connection to military actions and it would all be so much easier if there was clear communication and clear communication between fighting allies. None of that seems to be in place at present and my view? What doe the commanders of the involved parties have to say? Because that is one track that the media has allegedly not been considering. As I see it, it is quite simple and you merely had to read the Art of War to realise this. The alternative is von Clausewitz with his version ‘On War’ but I personally liked the Sun Tzu version better and it was written centuries before the other version. 

Perhaps I oversimplified the setting. Have a great day, it just became Friday for me (45 minute ago).

Where is the trust?

That is most of the time the setting, so as ABC gives us (at https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-17/middle-east-live-updates-march-17-2026/106462358) “A tanker has been struck by an unknown projectile while anchored near the Strait of Hormuz. Earlier, US President Donald Trump turned his ire on European allies who he claimed “weren’t that enthusiastic” about helping the US secure the passage. The threat of Iranian missiles and drones targeting oil tankers in the strait has effectively closed the shipping channel, amid the country’s conflict with the US and Israel.” With the added ‘Rockets and drones fired at US Embassy in Baghdad’ an hour ago. Consider that President Trump gave us (on march 8th, Politico) ‘Trump says Starmer seeking to join Iran war ‘after we’ve already won’’ so, that was 9 days ago? What changed? Then yesterday, the Guardian gives us (at https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/mar/16/iran-war-live-updates-news-oil-trump-hormuz-dubai-airport-israel-targets) “As Donald Trump expresses frustration with countries declining to send warships to reopen the strait of Hormuz, the response remains muted among those he directly called upon.” And this happened a mere 4 hours ago. Where are the vessels of the United States? Where are their minesweepers? Simple questions and it defies knowledge why this is not front and centre everywhere. So when the Sydney Morning Herald adds spice to the setting (at https://www.smh.com.au/world/north-america/with-10-damning-words-pete-hegseth-says-the-quiet-part-out-loud-20260314-p5oafr.html) with ‘With 10 damning words, Pete Hegseth says the quiet part out loud’ where we see “US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth believes the media has not been sufficiently effusive about the success of the American military operation against Iran.

He had just finished speaking about the massive damage inflicted upon the regime in Tehran – its leadership, its missile stocks, its navy, its weapons infrastructure – when he turned his attention to the Pentagon press pack.” Now, I am willing to accept that I have not been part of any defence department for 43 years. I can assure you that a certain clarity is required in communication (from the defence side) and whilst I feel ready to blame the press on several matters, they are massively without blame here. The March 8th setting was the first damning setting. Then as I yesterday lighted on the ‘Just for fun’ setting that President Trump gave us and whilst the tactical setting that Kharg Island provides a sea port for the export of up to 90% of Iran’s oil products, as well as supplying storage for up to 30 million barrels. Bombing the hell out of it might have been essential, but it is a mere export point. There are 10 refineries doing the bidding of capturing oil and whilst I was able to device methods of stopping those settings, the clear message is to bomb those 10 locations to really put pressure on Iran. So when were they done? No, As I personally see it, President Trump what’s that oil this is the clear setting that is tactically seen and now that 2,500-5,000 boots are getting on the ground, that setting becomes the pressure point that Iran can put on the United States. So whilst I created IP to close harbours and disable trains, stopping the bulk of oil transits, it was merely one stage that Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE could do to take pressure away from themselves and as such I gave Saudi Arabia and the UAE that IP. I did my thing to stop the war to go towards the gulf states. 

So what are we now left with?

Well, the SMH also takes care of that. We are given “As former CNN Pentagon reporter Barbara Starr noted, it’s possible that Ellison will be none-too-pleased about Hegseth’s implications.

Starr, a 21-year veteran of the defence beat, pointed out on X that CNN has sent personnel to combat zones for decades, with some even losing their lives. “You have a legal and moral obligation to defend the free press, even the ones you don’t personally like,” she told Hegseth.

As a former TV presenter before he was tasked with running the world’s most powerful military, press freedom should be Hegseth’s instinct. His comments today – and his vainglorious move to banish press photographers from his briefings – suggest he sees the media more as a vassal to serve his interests.” I can get behind that thought. As such there are sides to this entire setting that aren’t reported on this enough. The first one was that no formal declaration of war was ever given by the United States. As such we were given: “the Trump administration officials have offered various and conflicting explanations for the war, such as to ward off an imminent Iranian threat, to pre-empt Iranian retaliation against US assets after an expected Israeli attack on Iran” My issue here is that the international courts in The Hague might side with Iran concerning the seemingly unprovoked attacks by Iran (I know that is hilarious), Iran has been waging proxy wars for decades and that is the power of a proxy war. I reckon that the attacks by Israel and the United States give a bitter taste in the eyes of the law. Israel is decently clear because of all the attacks by Iran via Hamas and Hezbollah, but the idea given “to ward off an imminent Iranian threat” is laughable. It is like New Zealand attacking Australia, the Sopwith Camel doesn’t have the range to cross that distance and as far as I know New Zealand does not have an aircraft carrier. The same applies to Iran. There is no way that an attack can result from Iran. Even Lone Wolf attacks are unlikely to succeed and the United States still has their boy-scout organisations (FBI, CIA, DIA) in place, as such they can either do their job or they cannot. 

As such my speculative view was that the United States needed the oil that Iran has (for now). After failing to get to Canada’s rare earths (the 51st state attempt), Greenland resources (through failed annexation) and Venezuela oil (which is seem simply useless to the United States) the United States are now going for the Iranian oil. After that merely Russian oil remains (and Ukraine is doing something about that too) so what is left? I might be wrong in all this and there is a simple way to show me I am wrong. Merely bomb the 10 refineries. Several sources seemed to side with me on this as we are given ‘GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham Brags ‘We Are Going to Make a Ton of Money’ on Iran War’, which was given to us on March 9th. So as we were given “Graham seemingly suggested that the conflict with Iran as well as President Donald Trump’s abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro aim to help the United States take control over major oil reserves. “Venezuela and Iran have 31% of the world’s oil reserves. We’re going to have a partnership with 31% of the known reserves. This is China’s nightmare. This is a good investment,” he said.” As well as ““We’re going to blow the hell out of these people,” Graham said, adding that “nobody will threaten [the U.S.] in the Strait of Hormuz again.” He also said there could be a collapse of Iran’s leadership. “This regime is in a death throe now, it is gonna be on its knees, it’s going to fall, and when it falls we’re going to have peace like no other time,” he added.” It seems that after 9 days he was proven on nearly all fronts and now that it is out in the open that the United States needs oil (because they have so little at present) there is now the setting that the United States are too broke to seemingly pay their bills and as I see it, the moment the boots come on the ground, the media will report on nearly everything and that will put team Trump/Hegseth in a new folly and in the limelight, Because if I can figure this out in the last decade and now we get that Dave Kelly (JP Morgan, as per OCT2025) can figure this out, you should wonder why others couldn’t figure this out. I get that I am a no one in all this, but David Kelly is the Chief Global Strategist and Head of the Global Market Insights Strategy Team of JP Morgan and he is a voice to consider no matter how you slice it. 

So whilst we now get the Guardian (read: recently) give us “March 2026, Hegseth stated during a press briefing that US forces in Iran would show “no quarter, no mercy” to enemies. Analysts and Sen. Mark Kelly pointed out that a “no quarter” order—meaning to take no prisoners and kill them instead—is a direct violation of international law, specifically Article 23(d) of the 1907 Hague Convention IV.” All whilst media like the Conversation give us “Legal scholars have argued that Hegseth’s actions, particularly regarding the Venezuelan boat strikes and statements on the Iranian conflict, could expose him to investigations for violations of international and U.S. criminal law.” As such I reckon that both President Trump and Pete Hegseth fear the international courts. Iran optionally have a case here (I rely on optional as they have done plenty of bad things, among them attack Saudi Arabia without a formal declaration of war), so it makes sense that Pete Hegseth is in the stage that he wants to trivialize the international courts of law in the Hague, which is set through “The International Court of Justice, or colloquially the World Court, is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations (UN). It settles legal disputes submitted to it by states and provides advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by other UN organs and specialized agencies. The ICJ is the only international court that adjudicates general disputes between countries, with its rulings and opinions serving as primary sources of international law. It is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations.” It was established in 1945 and it should now confuse all the readers on why António Guterres remains silent on this. It merely gives my thoughts on the United States being broke seeming validity. The person who attacks Israel at any option he gets, remained silent on too many settings we are seeing here. Even the rebuke on the settings of Pete Hegseth ‘attacking’ the international courts should have put him up in arms. There is the smallest notion that the media had not covered it, but I doubt that. As I see it, the seat that António Guterres hold is seen as one of the 100 most powerful seats in the world. It might not be as powerful as that uncomfortable seat that the pope has, but that would be a buttock conversation. 

So I think I have given you something to think about and consider why the bulk of the refineries are left untouched, because that creates the wealth of Iran and isn’t that the superiority of any army? We are given “Sun Tzu’s The Art of War emphasizes that the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting, making the destruction of an opponent’s economic base (or wealth of a nation) a superior strategy to direct physical conflict. Sun Tzu advises that a protracted war exhausts a state’s resources, dulls weapons, and dampens morale, meaning attacking an opponent’s economic ability to sustain a fight is crucial.” And I wrote about that on March 8th (and before that too, at https://lawlordtobe.com/2026/03/08/ones-creative-process/) the story ‘Ones creative process’ gave you the setting that the harbours and railway of Iran should be destroyed and I was happy to hand the IP that could set that in a certain view of certainty to both Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Because I am just that sort of guy. It is never about personal profit in some stage of war and these two countries were hammered with drones and missiles. As such I did more than talk (are you watching this Pete Hegseth), I delivered. 

So you all have a great day and enjoy the day because Vancouver just joined us this Tuesday.

Keep this in mind

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Have a great day you all.

Dangerous Speculation

This article is almost pure speculation. The people said what they did, as they always do, but the dots are connected differently. So as some dots will connect to a degree to one, there is nothing to stop anyone from connect the dots until they see a dragon, so beware. In the first, I have nearly always said that the United States of America was pretty much broke. The problem is that some connect the term ‘pretty much’ to a term thinking it can better that beast, but that is nearly always folly (court jester folly). So when we see that David Kelly gave us that the country is “going broke slowly.” No one really doubted this because going slowly can be almost any timeline. At present, the debt is 38.8 trillion. Then we get three quotes that kinda connect. The first one is “Trump is lying. I serve on the intelligence and armed services committees. There’s no intelligence that Iran posed an imminent threat to the U.S. or the American people” This allegedly comes from congressman Jason Crow. I cannot say for certain that he actually said that, so be aware and I use it, because it fits a picture, let’s say it is one of the dots. Then we get Anne Applebaum saying: “He does lie all of the time. And I find it fascinating (and sick) that he lies even “when he doesn’t need to”” Too many people and fat checks give her setting a thumbs up, but is it really connected? That becomes the question. The third statement comes from Bernie Sanders. He stated “Trump said we had to attack Iran because we can’t allow it ‘to have a nuclear weapon.’ Really? This is the same president who, in June, said: “Iran’s nuclear facilities have been obliterated.’ Vietnam. Iraq. Iran. Another lie. Another war.!” We saw the comments. We saw the outbursts and we saw the stage, Now, I am not saying that Iran is an innocent victim, there is enough to thwart that suggestion. Yet I have always accepted that if you do the right thing for the wrong reason that action becomes the debilitating act of corruption that we all face. I get a different picture. Americas is now (almost) broke, it will have to get its fingers on oil. Canada wasn’t giving up theirs, Europeans and Canadians were blocking America from getting its fingers on the spoils of Greenland and the oil from Venezuela is in the short term useless. So what remains? It is simple Russia and Iran, Iran is ‘relatively’ easy and Israel was able to help because Iran was a clear and present danger to the state of Israel. And now President Trump will accept someone ‘acceptable’ to the United States of America, as this person will allow America to drain the oil from Iran and the son of Ali Khamenei will never suffice. Trump says he wants to be involved in picking Iran’s next leader, and that is the leader that will allow America to drain its resources (at $0.10 per barrel) America is that desperate now (as I personally see it).

It has now and lately always been about the resources. America is as I see it, broke. And that is not a story any President is willing to tell its people, this is what you get when you cannot control Wall Street or the greed of people. And Iran is now paying that price. For the USA, the fact that Iran fired its missiles every where works, because as I see it, Iran isolated themselves perfectly , which works for President Trump, an isolated enemy has no friends to fall back onto and Russia cannot intervene, it has blocked itself and China doesn’t want to get into the middle of this. I reckon that on the side the fact that America is in this predicament works for the long game they have running, because President Trump exposed its weakness. They merely have to make sure that too much of that oil gives nowhere and China will come out victorious.

So is my setting that of the conspiracy theorist? Some say that the dots connected to a unicorn, not the realism that it was an anorexic rhino. When are dots dangerous? Well in the first is comes in waves and it often comes to images that aren’t anything. As such am I right (to a degree) or is the image too distorted due to sources? I let you decide that, but I gave at the beginning that there is a chance that I am writing an article “is almost pure speculation” so be weary of what you accept, even if the sources are spot on. It is one of the dangers of unrelated quotes. 

Have a great day. I am sad as my TV will take almost a week to arrive, no movies, no PS5. My life sucks (at present).

Can we say Ole?

This is a setting that remains to be seen. Not from my side. I am fine with it and there are a few reasons for that. But it all started with a few news casts were we see (at https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/3/spain-baulks-at-trumps-threat-to-cut-off-all-trade-over-nato-iran-stance) the Al Jazeera setting. The title ‘Spain baulks at Trump’s threat to cut off all trade over NATO, Iran stance’ and it comes with “Spain has said the US should be mindful of international law and bilateral trade agreements with the European Union, after US President Donald Trump threatened to cut off all trade with the country for refusing to let the US military use its bases for missions linked to strikes on Iran.” And it is a simple setting and in this I stand with Spain. No formal declaration of war exists between a NATO ally (or NATO) and Iran as such there are issues with international law and simply put, it makes the United States of America the aggressor (together with Israel). I am not against these hits, but that is me, a person, an individual that does not matter, an individual that has no bearing on international law. So for the Bully named Shit (or was it bullshit named something) to set the premise of what some describe as “US President Donald Trump has threatened to cut trade with Spain over the ban on using their military bases during the Iran war.” And this act will bite back. Of that I have no doubt. You see America was never directly attacked, this is the ‘benefit’ of a proxy war. Don’t get me wrong. What was done had to be done and it had to be done a lot sooner than now. We might notice it not that Iran is attacking Qatar, the UAE and Saudi Arabia all in one setting. But it started that the United States and Israel decided to preemptively strike against Iran. There was never a formal declaration of war, as such there are all kinds of labels we can throw at this, but in international law the NATO partners are playing a dangerous game. Iran now has (to some extent) international law in its side. And bullying Spain with trade sanctions because Spain will not allow attacks on Iran from base activity in Spain is understandable. Al Jazeera also gives us “On Tuesday, before a meeting with German Chancellor Frederich Merz, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office in Washington, DC, that “Spain has been terrible” for not allowing the US to use its bases. He said that he had told his secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, to “cut off all dealings” with Spain. “We’re going to cut off all trade with Spain. We don’t want anything to do with Spain,” the US president said.” It seems nice, but President Trump might want to talk to congress, he avoided them in the past and now that he is attacking Iran without a formal declaration of war there might be legal sides to all this. As such, how are the facilities in Germany used? Can we get a run down on them? What about the logistical sides? What is run from Italy or the UK? What are the settings there? I got word that the UK is allowing the attacks on Iran, but hat about the other bases? There is no clear indications of who is allowed and who is not. It seems like merely Spain does not and I see their problem. There is no declaration of war, USA is merely bombing Iran. And what evidence is there? We are merely given ““It was my opinion that they were going to attack first,” the president said. And with that, the botched rollout of the Trump administration’s case for war enters yet another chapter.” What evidence is there? Iran attacked with “The UAE’s ministry of defence said that 165 ballistic missiles, two cruise missiles and 541 drones had been launched from Iran towards the country so far. Three people have been killed and 58 injured, the authorities said.” (Source: the independent) Between Iran and the UAE is a little river called the Persian golf (I believe that is Iranian propaganda, I personally believe the its real name is the straight of Dammam), so if you consider this, how successful would any attack on the USA be? I get that Israel would strike against Iran and the need to strike Iran is there, but the United States of America should have given a declaration of war with the approval of Congress. As stated (in senate.gov) we see “The Constitution grants Congress the sole power to declare war. Congress has declared war on 11 occasions, including its first declaration of war with Great Britain in 1812. Congress approved its last formal declaration of war during World War II. Since that time it has agreed to resolutions authorizing the use of military force and continues to shape U.S. military policy through appropriations and oversight.” As far asI can see, President Trump did not do this and did not let Congress proclaim a war. Now they are in it and likely it comes now, but that also gives other players a disastrous setting on international law as after all what Iran has done, there is every chance that the United States of America is seen as the aggressor in this. So what was this about? Iranian oil? Your guess is as good as mine, because things were done out of synch as the IT term goes. 

So, is ‘Ole’ the proper term here? If so, it will be up to Spain to shout that word but the setting is a lot more complex that most of us can see and as I see it Saudi Arabia has a first strike option as it has under proxy war attack by Iran for at least two years now by Houthi terrorists (using Iranian equipment to attack Saudi Arabia). 

So what comes next? That is the question, but this setting has every chance of escalating at present. The question becomes how many attacks will Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Qatar endure over the next week. We will see what comes next and I do not think we have to wait long.

Have a great (and peaceful) day.
