The Bogie Man Countries That Wield a Sword Over America From Europe, to Asia, to the Middle East and Russia, Rattling Their Chains.
Qatar has been a player inside the White House for decades, but Trump’s war on Iran has shut down Qatar’s ability to create revenues. The Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar is the largest in the Middle East. Built in 1996, it served as an assurance and insurance against enemies. In return for Qatar’s largess investments in the US, the base kept Qatar safe. Until it didn’t. Instead, Al Udeid made Qatar a target, and that targeting has liquified their source of revenue, Oil & LNG.
17% of Qatar’s LNG capacity has been obliterated. They have no alternative route for transport other that the Strait of Hormuz, and tourism across the entire Middle East is virtually nonexistent as everyone waits for Trump. Why would Trump announce that he will bomb Iran to oblivion ‘after’ the midterms? What is the purpose in waiting?
YESTERDAY: The Emir of Qatar released a statement: “We must be prepared for the worst possibilities, and everyone must bear their responsibilities, institutions and citizens”. Egypt’s Sisi responded: “What has been happening has intensified considerably over the past 5-6 months. I swear to God, I am not trying to frighten you, but this time you will not recover again. They might try sand ignite the situation in Egypt”.
Attacks between the Houthis and Saudis have escalated considerably. Saudi Aramco headquarters was struck. Bin Salman is considered a target by the Houthis. He is in a continual state of fear.
The Strait is not open despite Trump’s conflagrating blowhard statements to the contrary. A Cargo vessel just sank after hitting a mine – despite Trump statements that ALL mines were cleared by the Navy. The global economy is teetering. Europe to the extreme. And the amount of tension is zapping across the skies like CERN lightning bolts. Someone somewhere is going to crack and a bomb focused on the US is gaining theoretical Polymarket traction.
There is of course the possibility that a Trump strike will be levelled before the Midterms given Trump thinks he is General Patton quality. Iran’s IRGC states that they believe the war will continue for 2 years – or until Trump is no longer in the White House. The blow up in the Middle East is a global phenomenon completely at the hands of just two men; Trump and Netanyahu. Their entire legacy. Always Underestimate your Enemy ~ appears to be the Trump mindset as Iran states that should they be struck again US underwater cables, Data Centers, AI, and other target in the region valued at $2 Trillion will be – no more.
Oddly, Trump is too consumed with Midterm Mania than the global fallout of his war. Hegseth is wholly unprepared and continues his jumping jacks routine, while Susie Wiles looks wilted by the enormity of the US bungling, while backstabbing within the coveted circle reignites.
Meanwhile, the effervescent Heritage Foundation is moving past Project 2025 as Trump implements every facet of their agenda, and is in the throes of writing Project 2029 for JD Vance who they claim will be inserted as President 2028 under the thumb of Israel’s new PM – with the Polymarket clicks claiming Eisenkot will win Israel’s election. His policies have little distance from Netanyahu’s and thus little will change in terms of Middle East wars. Thus 2028 will essentially be a continuation of the plotline for global economic collapse.
The Russia Diesel Deal is a major point of contention in the Republican pool given Ukraine, however corrupted, is an Israel asset, and most of our federal government is so aligned. Adding to the roll-eye effect, Iran is transporting it’s diesel fuel to Russia to cover their shortages according to The Iran Observer. Meaning Trump will be buying Iranian oil.
The conflict between the Houthis and Saudi Arabia is over sovereignty. The Sauds became an unwitting proxy on behalf of the US and Israel who demanded a western inserted government and were met with resistance. Not unlike Assad or Hussein, both of whom were originally allies of the US before the US did not approve of their restraint over oil and other precious reserves. So goes Yemen. Yemen is simply another pool of valuable resources in oil, gas, gold, copper, etc… with significant reserves in Industrial minerals.
Given the last year, if the Middle East had half a brain they would form a united front against those who have destroyed their revenue stream and ignited this catastrophic illegal international collapse that for many countries could take years if not decades to recapture. But the Saudis seem too stubborn or too afraid. How any of them could ever trust America again is incredibly short-sighted. Israel continues to unequivocally bomb Gaza despite there being nothing left to destroy except lives.
There is no mercy. And the Middle East should recognize this as their future should they continue to bicker amongst themselves. Trump has shown that he does NOT have their backs, he is not equipped mentally to understand or care and has abandoned both Qatar and the Saudis to their fate. Lives will continue to be lost for no reason whatsoever. Infrastructure can’t be rebuilt until the bombs stop, until Trump acknowledges he was wrong and foregoes all military intervention.
Unfortunately, that possibility is not available when one is a psychopath.
