Carney constructs a mega anti-Trump trade alliance The Canadian prime minister is spearheading discussions between the EU and a major Indo-Pacific trade bloc after calling on middle powers to join forces.

"The middle powers are taking action. The EU and CPTPP are starting talks this year to strike an agreement to intertwine the supply chains of members like Canada, Singapore, Mexico, Japan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Australia with Europe."

⛽️Problems with gasoline have started again in Crimea, subscribers report.

There's no gasoline at the "TEC" gas station, and at the "Mustang" gas station, there's only AI-92 fuel.

Iran is Changing EVERYTHING with Ukraine & Russia
Iran is Changing EVERYTHING with Ukraine & Russia YouTube video by Jake Broe

This might be the most insane video I have ever had to make on my YouTube channel. The situation in Iran is NOT under control and the Trump Administration is proving they really have no idea what they are doing or what they want to accomplish.

Today, Congress was finally briefed on Trump's war of choice in Iran.

Even behind closed doors, they couldn't get their story straight.

But one thing is clear: they don't have a clue what the end game is, and it sure as hell isn't making America safer.

Rough calcs...

The vessel plus cargo was likely valued at as much as $300,000,000

China unlikely to have paids for the cargo, so total loss to Russia.

NEW. Rep. Jimmy Gomez, a Democratic member of the House intelligence committee, tells me that if the Ds win the midterm, there's likely to be an investigation of the Iran intelligence and Trump's misuse/use of it.

He says: β€œThere are things we have to look at that people don’t even know about.”

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for:

- Who takes over;
- Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation;
- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

Honestly, it could have been larger and a bit more bloody, but hey.
I did want the iconic rave warehouse scene in the Marvel film Blade to happen, but I just ended up watching it from my neighbour's patio. *sigh* Sometimes I wonder whether I really am a vampyr?
