Europe desperately needs to drag the US back into the Ukraine war.
Traditionally when the US finds itself in a war it can’t win, the plan becomes to create a stalemate and hold on to the next election when the new president can shut it down.
If the new president is of the same party as the old they can shut down with excuses, or if from the other party, they can shut down with blame on the outgoing admin.
Trump had that opportunity and failed to act, he got talked out of just getting out, same as he was just talked into getting into the Iran war.
Now the Europeans are panicking, the propaganda that ‘Ukraine is winning’ for some strange reason did not turn into reality and as a result of the cumulative actions of starting and continuing the war the EU and UK economies are disintegrating.
Their economies were already in a bad way before the war. After 20 years of massive investment in renewable energy schemes that failed simply because they were far too ambitious, led on by the beating drum bullshit that the world was going to end in a few years because of the big, bad global warming monster, whatever happened to those good old days?
Anyway, it turns out that a complete swap of energy supply can’t happen at the flick of a switch after all, who could have guessed.
And of course that sorry saga was a principle reason for greedily eyeing up Russia with its huge (fossil fuel) energy reserves in the first place.
Pair that with the US’s ambition to control the global oil supply and provoking Russia became a deliberate policy and Europe can’t stop now, the economic situation has only become more desperate to the point of being almost existential for western Europe as it heads for the cliff with its foot hard down on the accelerator.
And in the Iran war the Pentagon leaks increasing in number and volume against Hegseth’s running of the war which is unsustainable and is causing serious problems throughout the whole US military.
These leaks were published in the Washington Post and have led to some critics calling the WP a traitorous organisation.
Some military commentators are saying the Pentagon is desperate for Congress to step up and do their job and rein in Hegseth and Trump.
But the problem is that the Dems are fully behind both the current wars. Maybe after the midterm elections Congress will act?
Meanwhile the US staged a limited drone attack on Iranian launchers to which Iran responded with missile attacks on Jordan and UAE.
And great news, the US has automatically put all males between 18 and 45 on a potential draft list. It used to be that individuals needed to register themselves but not anymore thanks to AI.

Re: WW3 Countdown
2523The Iran war starts up again, Trump tells us the war is over and all the sea mines are cleared and that the Straits are open and then Iran spoils it all by firing drones at shipping, Trump escalates pretending he has escalation dominance, Iran responds by firing missiles into the US base in Jordan. Trump says all the missiles were shot down but then satellite pictures clearly show base buildings with large holes in them. Trump also tells us that the US sunk several Iranian mine laying ships.
But Lloyds of London insurers said that the mines were not cleared from the Straits immediately after Trump said they were. Iran shows the world they have not lost, and that they actually have more missiles than the US.
Trump is learning the lesson that Zelensky just got. If you don’t have 'escalation dominance' only the deluded would try 'escalation deterrence'.
Zelensky escalated to deter Russia by attacking Russian ships in the Sea of Azov but Russia responded by wiping out Ukrainian trade through its only sea port in Odessa. Zelensky then attacked Russian Amazon type warehouses but Russia responded by wiping out all Ukrainian food and goods warehouses so that supermarket shelves throughout the whole country are now going bare.
Iran is watching all this and is learning.
Meanwhile Zelensky number 2 Budanov says that changes need to be made to the mobilisations laws because Ukraine needs to recruit 30,000 a month just to keep up with losses. They would lower the age to 18 but there are nowhere near enough of them because of the drop in birth rate following the collapse of the Soviet Union, so women it will have to be then.
And a closer look at the missile problem for the west which is profound, sources are saying that when the Russians shoot down 1,000 Ukrainian drones in a single night half are by air defence missiles. Zelensky is screaming out for 300 US Patriot air defence missiles, that’s half the world's current total supply, Russia is firing off nearly twice that in a single evening, and they have been doing it day after day. Russia’s own estimate of success rate of their air defence is between 95 and 97% which is lower than Ukraine’s own estimation of Russia’s success rate.
The degree to which the west is so far behind in missile tech and production, having been the ones who pushed Russia into this war, is astonishing. Ukraine has no air defence left and neither does western Europe.
In the space of 4 and a half years Russia has de-militarised the whole of NATO.
When the west announced they were going to incorporate Ukraine and Georgia into NATO (2007 if memory serves) the Russians said it would cause a war, but the west knew Russia was only bluffing so went ahead anyway, except Russia wasn’t, and now the west finds themselves in a war they were totally unprepared for.
And Bessent tells us he is going to start ‘D-Day sanctions’, oh - so he’s going to take on China?
Bessent: “Oh God no, I don’t want to bring down the whole global economy”.
Err right, okay. So just more bluster, bullshit and market manipulation then.
And speaking of Bessent, expect another attempt to quell the bond market after Trump’s recent escalation in the Iran war sent the US 10 year yield to 4.8%.
