What benefits could the new Russian-Iranian gas project bring?
The new joint Russian-Iranian venture to supply Russian natural gas via pipelines should help Iran become a natural gas hub and “optimize” the natural gas pipeline infrastructure in the country, Igor Yushkov, an expert with Russia’s National Energy Security Fund, tells Sputnik.
The project may open new possibilities to re-export Russian gas to countries such as India, Yushkov says.
He was echoed by Stanislav Mitrakhovich, a leading expert of the National Energy Security Fund. “It is possible to build a pipeline from Iran to India,” he says, adding that it may be beneficial for Russia to acquire India in terms of purchasing Russian natural gas.
Mitrakhovich notes that building such a natural gas pipeline would require either working out an agreement with Pakistan – if the pipeline from Iran to India were to be built through that country – or constructing a direct underwater pipeline from the Iranian to Indian coast.
The overall successful implementation of this Russian-Iranian project, however, would require dealing with a number of issues such as, for example, the problem with building an undersea pipeline across the Caspian Sea to ship natural gas directly from Russia to Iran. Namely, building such a pipeline would require consent of all the Caspian littoral states, including Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, aside from Russia and Iran.

“India is a large market for natural gas, which keeps growing to boot,” he remarks, arguing that there is plenty of room for both Russian and Iranian gas on the Indian market.

Zaluzhny's latest UK comments conjure up memories of Goebbels famous Total War speech
Former Ukrainian Commander in Chief Valery Zaluzhny, July 2024:
Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, February 1943:
It seems history repeats itself, even in nuances.
Zaluzhy, who was recently downgraded to Kiev’s envoy to the UK, delivered a speech where he urged Western societies to mobilize their resources and give up comforts and freedoms in order to defeat Russia. The speech was delivered in the wake of prolonged Ukrainian setbacks on the battlefield.
Chief German propagandist Joseph Goebbels said almost the same things 81 years earlier. When it became evident that Soviet Russia was prevailing in WWII, he called for strict austerity measures and urged Germans to work 14 hours a day if necessary, dubbing it a “total war”.
So, do you see any differences between Zaluzhny’s words and Goebbels’ speech? Answer in comments.

Former Ukrainian Commander in Chief Valery Zaluzhny, July 2024:
"Society must agree to temporarily give up a range of freedoms for the sake of survival. Modern wars, unfortunately, are total. They require the efforts not only of the army, but also of society as a whole."
Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, February 1943:
"Total war is the demand of the hour… We must use our full resources… Are you and the German people willing to work, if the Führer orders, 10, 12 and if necessary 14 hours a day and to give everything for victory?"

Is Joe Biden still alive?
The US president's whereabouts have raised suspicions in the Republican camp. Some netizens and pundits claim that the US president, who dropped out of the 2024 race and endorsed Kamala Harris over the weekend, is dying or has possibly passed away, citing Joe's absence.
What do US commentators say?
🔸 Fox News hosts Bret Baier and Dana Perino drew attention to the fact that Biden's latest campaign announcement wasn't accompanied by photos or videos. "Proof of life, please," Perino said.
🔸 White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, not Biden, told staff about the president's decision to quit, according to conservative news outlet Townhall.
🔸 Biden's signature under the announcement that he was exiting the race prompted a lot of questions as it contains an underline not seen in his other signatures. Billionaire financier Bill Ackman tweeted: "If this were a hostage situation, that letter would not qualify as proof of life." The lack of a White House seal or letterhead triggered further speculations.
🔸 US journalists Tucker Carlson and Jack Posobiec discussed Biden's absence, strange signature and lack of photo and videos on Monday morning. Carlson pointed out that while the US is in the midst of two wars nobody knows whether Biden "exists" right now.
🔸 Biden's video call into Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign event on Monday has not convinced skeptics: commentators alleged the speech was either pre-recorded or generated by artificial intelligence (AI).
🔸 Netizens also pointed out that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Tuesday meeting with Biden was canceled on Monday, despite the president's doctor Kevin O'Connor claimed the same day that Biden's COVID symptoms "have almost resolved completely" and that "he continues to perform all of his presidential duties". Democrats have denounced the rumors as "baseless". The White House insists that Biden has remained in quarantine in Delaware since July 17.
