โโ๏ธ๐ฎ๐ท/โข๏ธ NEW: Iran is completely burying the newly built concrete sarcophagus at the Taleqan-2 site with soil to protect it from strikes
The site is suspected to be a hardened structure used for high-explosive testing and was active in this capacity during the 'AMAD' program, Iran's nuclear weapons program in the early 2000s.

๐ฒ๐ฝ ๐ญ ๐บ๐ธ Mexico now imports 75% of its natural gas from the US about 6.4 Bcf/d, generating $9B per year in direct dollar demand.
Now the twist.
Mexico is building LNG export terminals usingโฆ US pipeline gas.
1 molecule.
2 dollar transactions.
US โ Mexico (pipeline, dollars)
Mexico โ Asia/Europe (LNG, dollars)
That is a structural dollar multiplier.
๐ US energy infrastructure enforces dollar dominance
I just published a deep dive connecting:
โข Geopolitical energy control
โข The Mexico double-dollar effect
โข Why key midstream assets are mispriced
Itโs about who controls the pipes
and the currency flows.

Because of Sacramentoโs self-inflicted refinery closures, refusal to expand in-state capacity, hostility to interstate pipelines, and rigid regulatory regime, fuel that could move efficiently within California is instead being routed to a foreign port, transferred to a foreign-flagged vessel, and then shipped all the way around Mexico to California.
More than 40% of imported gasoline in November came via the Bahamas.
We are:
๐ข Adding thousands of unnecessary shipping miles (and emissions)
๐ธ Layering transportation costs onto already record-high pump prices
๐ญ Driving domestic refining capacity out of the state
๐ Weakening energy reliability in the worldโs 5th largest economy
๐ Gregory Smith: Accurate but worth a mention that refineries don't just produce gasoline but also diesel (industrial and transport), kerosene (jet fuel), asphalt (roads), and other compounds lighter (e.g. propane) and heavier (e.g. bunker fuel for ships). Losing local refineries means that ALL of these refined products have to be shipped into CA. Which can certainly be done but at higher prices. CA is choosing to not just pay more for gasoline but also losing the foundations of an industrial economy. Which might be the goal.
๐ TheIntelFrog: Our entire defense apparatus is petroleum based, and that's not changing anytime soon. In case of war in the Pacific, we will need much more fuel on the west coast than we presently have the capacity for.

California is sourcing 40 percent of its gasoline from the Bahamas due to a combination of disappearing oil refineries, lack of storage facilities and interstate pipelines, and a loophole in a 106-year-old maritime law, known as the Jones Act.

#BREAKING | ๐บ๐ธ ๐ฏ๐ต โ U.S. President Donald Trump announces launch of 'massive' trade deal with Japan, involving $550 billion in Japanese investments in the U.S.
The Global Eye | Subscribe
Our MASSIVE Trade Deal with Japan has just launched!
Japan is now officially, and financially, moving forward with the FIRST set of Investments under its $550 BILLION Dollar Commitment to invest in the United States of America โ part of our Historic Trade Deal to REVITALIZE the American Industrial Base, create HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of GREAT American Jobs, and strengthen our National and Economic Security like never before.
Today, I am pleased to announce three TREMENDOUS Projects in the Strategic Areas of Oil & Gas in the Great State of Texas, Power Generation in the Great State of Ohio, and Critical Minerals in the Great State of Georgia.
The scale of these projects are so large, and could not be done without one very special word, TARIFFS. The Gas Power Plant in Ohio (A State I won THREE TIMES!) will be the largest in History, the LNG Facility in the Gulf of America will drive Exports, and further our Country's Energy DOMINANCE, and our Critical Minerals Facility will end our FOOLISH dependance on Foreign Sources.
America is building again. America is producing again. And America is WINNING again.
This is a very exciting and HISTORIC time for the United States of America and Japan. Congratulations to all!

Leaving the European Union has never been on our agenda.
The EU has weakened dramatically โ it is no longer a decisive global actor. The war is in Europe, but the EU is not even at the negotiating table.
We say no to war, migration, and gender ideology โ and that puts us in direct conflict with Brussels.
Europeโs interest in Hungaryโs elections is unusually intense. If we lose, Brusselsโ political program will be implemented in Hungary.
A change of government would mean sending Hungarian taxpayersโ money to Ukraine. Hungary would be dragged into war, accept migrants, and support Ukraineโs EU membership.
