US jet fuel up 30%.
US air ticket prices to increase 20%.

Gasoline up 15%, April PPI inflation likely to be 7%, up from 4.

German airlines cancelled 10s of thousands of flights over summer and there is the threat of electricity rationing in Australia.

Meanwhile the head of the US Defense Intelligence Agency submitted a written statement saying 'Iran retains thousands of missiles (60%) and one-way attack UAVs (40%) that can threaten Hormuz shipping and US forces’.

To which any of the news agencies carrying the story the Trump team just called ‘fake news’ despite the fact they are just quoting an official govt report.

CSIS (see video below) estimates of percentages of U.S. munitions expended in Iran are at or fast approaching 50% of total US stockpiles, that’s after just 50 days of the Iran war.

Even worse is the 4 to 6 years delivery timeline to replace stocks. No wonder Trump has stopped firing them off, can he really restart and have stocks at zero for the next 4 years?

4 weeks of war = 40% depletion of munitions stocks = 4 years til stock replenishment.

That is really very serious. Saudi, UAE, Bahrain, Taiwan, South Korea, Ukraine, EU, and all the other security dependents? Forget it, you're on your own for the next 4 years.

Trump meanwhile has ordered the Navy to ‘fire on and kill’ the small Iranian boats supposedly laying mines in the Gulf, not an easy task considering the US navy is stationed 700 miles away to keep out of range of the missiles and drones Trump says the Iranians haven’t got.

Whispers from the White House say that Trump’s dementia is not the same as Biden's. Biden would flip into and out of zombie mode with a generalised dementia while Trump has a ‘frontal lobe dementia’ that causes periods of inappropriate ‘saying, doing and believing’ behaviour.

Brent crude oil is back to over $100 a barrel and US spending on the war has hit $1 billion a day.

And the ‘Mexican Standoff’ continues, the problem for the US is that the Iranians have no reason to stand down while the US has many and they are mounting.

Great news then that both the Iranian and Russian economies are on the verge of collapse apparently and so everything will be just fine (except I think I’ve heard this one before?).


Back to Ukraine and the Russian high command reports they have captured a key town and surrounding high ground overlooking the 2 remaining cities still under Ukrainian control in Donetsk, Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, situated in the valley and whose supply routes are now well within range of Russian artillery and drones.


Iran's Drone, Missile, & Navy INTACT! Trump Humiliated!
