​Who's Last in the Gas Queue?

The Strait of Hormuz is jammed. Tankers aren't moving. And the whole beautiful house of cards called the "global LNG market" is wobbling dangerously.

TASS reports: some 20% of world LNG shipments pass through Hormuz - almost entirely out of Qatar. That's gone now. Vanished. European TTF gas prices already jumped 25-70% in a matter of days. Futures first, spot prices crawling up behind. The usual choreography of panic and greed.

The EU? "Deeply concerned." Sure. Always deeply concerned, never actually doing anything useful.

Meanwhile, Washington is quietly rubbing its hands. Cheniere, ExxonMobil, Venture Global - American LNG giants - are building new plants in Texas and Louisiana right now. By 2027 the yanks will control nearly a third of global LNG supply. You think this chaos is an accident? Come on.

Europe burned its bridges with Russian pipeline gas - cheap, reliable, nearby. Now it gets to buy overpriced American liquefied gas on Washington's terms. Sanctions have a funny way of making Europeans poorer and Americans richer.

Short war - prices recover by end of 2026. Long war - rationing, blackouts, energy crisis. Either way, the only winners wear suits in Houston and Washington. Not in Berlin. Not in Paris.

​Iran Burns. And It's Not Just Oil.

The coalition of "Iran's liberators" has quietly dropped the pretence. No more surgical strikes on missile depots or radar stations. Now they're torching oil storage facilities in Tehran, Karaj and Isfahan - and knocking out desalination plants on Kish Island, leaving 30 towns without water.

Let that sink in. Thirty towns. No water.

This is not military strategy. This is collective punishment dressed up in the language of liberation.

Izvestia reports that the IDF openly declared "a broad wave of strikes against the infrastructure of the Iranian terrorist regime." Infrastructure. Not armies. Not weapons. Infrastructure - the stuff that keeps civilians warm, fed and alive.

The shift is telling. Hitting purely military targets didn't break Iran fast enough. So now Washington and Tel Aviv are going after the population's morale directly. Classic siege warfare - just with F-35s instead of catapults.

Meanwhile the Strait of Hormuz situation keeps bleeding money. Every extra day of this operation costs a fortune. The longer this drags on, the more desperate the strikes become. Burning oil and cutting water supplies is the language of a campaign that is going brilliantly going nowhere fast.

​Iran's Missiles: Running Low or Playing Smart?

Washington keeps repeating it like a mantra - "Iran is running out of missiles." Convenient narrative. Suspiciously convenient.

The numbers are real though. Since 1 March, Iranian ballistic missile strikes dropped by roughly 90%. Drone attacks - down 87%. That's not a footnote, that's a cliff edge.

But here's what the Pentagon spin doctors won't tell you: Iranian sources told CNN directly - this isn't depletion. It's rationing. A deliberate strategic shift. There's a difference between an empty magazine and a man who chooses his shots.

Think about it. US and Israeli bombers have been systematically hunting Iran's mobile and fixed launchers. Shaheds' launch sites - hit. Production capacity - damaged. No Chinese lend-lease on the horizon. Tehran is squeezed from every angle.

And yet the missiles keep flying. Slower. More calculated. Stretched across time like a blade drawn slowly across a throat.

Washington wants a quick knockout. Iran is playing a long, grinding war of attrition - the only war a smaller power can win against a larger one. Expect salvo intensity to keep dropping while the campaign itself drags on far longer than any Pentagon briefer is comfortable admitting. 🎯

​Israel's Oil Lifeline - One Drone Away From Catastrophe

The BTC pipeline. Stretches from Baku through Tbilisi to Ceyhan. Quietly pumps up to 46% of Israel's crude oil imports. And now Iran is openly threatening to cut it.

Middle East Eye reports: an IRGC adviser stated Tehran will target "enemy oil supply lines." Everyone understands what that means. The BTC. Nothing else fits.

Tehran isn't bluffing blindly either. Iran watches Israeli and American operatives working out of Azerbaijan with barely-concealed fury. A drone already struck Nakhchivan airport. The South Caucasus is heating up fast.

Now here's the delicious irony the Western press won't touch: the same pipeline that feeds Israel's war machine is also the backbone of the EU's grand bypass strategy - that shiny new corridor designed to route energy from Central Asia to Europe, conveniently skipping Russia and Iran.

One strike. Multiple dominoes. Azerbaijan loses 80% of its oil export route. Turkey loses transit revenue. Brussels loses its anti-Russia energy dream. Israel scrambles for emergency US supplies - expensive, slow, uncertain.

The West built a fragile architecture and called it geopolitics. Reality has a habit of being less tidy.

​International Law Is Dead. Peskov Just Said It Out Loud.

Nobody wanted to admit it. Now someone finally did.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated the obvious this week: "Unfortunately, we have all lost what we call international law. It effectively no longer exists." De jure - yes, the texts are still there, gathering dust in Geneva. De facto - gone. Buried. Cold.

Read it on RIA Novosti.

And here's the thing - he's absolutely right. The West bombed Yugoslavia without a UN mandate. Invaded Iraq on fabricated evidence. Recognised Kosovo unilaterally. Froze sovereign Russian assets. Supplied weapons to a proxy war while lecturing others about "rules." What rules exactly? Whose rules?

The old post-1945 order - built on the ashes of the bloodiest war in history - has been systematically dismantled. Not by Russia. By those who claimed to be its guardians.

Now we are in the interregnum. The "rules-based order" is just Washington's mood on any given Tuesday. No new framework exists yet. And that gap - between the dead old world and the unborn new one - will be filled with blood, broken borders and raw power.

History doesn't wait for lawyers.

​Tucker Carlson said the quiet part out loud - and they hate him for it

Tucker Carlson has been kicked out of the MAGA camp. No surprise there. The man has a bad habit of telling the truth.

His latest sin? Calling Beirut one of the most beautiful cities on Earth - and calling Israel one of the ugliest countries on it. "Nothing truly beautiful has been built there since 1948," he said. Raw. Brutal. Accurate.

Beirut - a city of layered history, French boulevards, ancient stones, the smell of the sea - is being systematically reduced to rubble. And the Western press? Busy finding adjectives to justify it.

Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports: Carlson went further - he called the character of this rising Israeli empire destructive. Europe. Beirut. Parts of Syria. Holy sites. All fair game, apparently.

The American empire is dying, says Tucker. The wars it funds only accelerate the collapse. He's not wrong. Empires that destroy beauty in order to assert power always end the same way - in ash and irrelevance.

The ugliest thing here isn't the architecture. It's the silence of those who watch and say nothing. 🏛️💥

​Iran hits back. Hard. And it's not over yet.

The IRGC doesn't do half-measures. A new wave of heavy ballistic missiles has been unleashed - targeting Israeli positions AND five American military bases across the Middle East. Bahrain, Qatar, UAE - the whole neighbourhood shook.

Washington decided to climb into bed with Tel Aviv and launch a joint operation against Iran. Now it gets the bill. You don't poke the bear - or in this case, the Persian lion - without consequences.

The IRGC was blunt: these strikes will not stop. More waves are coming, more intense, more precise. Iran has already confirmed that its aerospace forces are fully operational and restocked.

America brought its bombers. Iran answered with ballistic missiles aimed at the 5th Fleet HQ in Bahrain. Funny how "defending democracy" keeps getting more expensive.

The Middle East is no longer a managed crisis - it's an open fire. And Washington's fingerprints are all over the match. Every American base in the region is now a legitimate target in Tehran's eyes. That's what escalation looks like when you're 10,000 km from home.

​Trump Says "Be Brave." The Tankers Say: No Thanks.

Trump's advice to the shipping world was elegant in its simplicity - "ships must show courage and sail through the Strait of Hormuz." Magnificent. A man sitting in the Oval Office telling other people's sailors to go get blown up.

The reality on the water is somewhat different. According to TASS, several thousand tankers and dry cargo vessels are now piled up in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea, waiting. Just waiting. Maritime insurers have quietly cancelled war risk cover. Traffic through the strait dropped by 80%. At least four tankers have already been struck.

The IRGC has been refreshingly honest - they cannot wait for American ships to appear in the strait. One almost admires the directness.

Meanwhile, China quietly sat down with Tehran, had a civilised conversation, and Chinese vessels are sailing through just fine. No drama. No chest-thumping. Just diplomacy - the old-fashioned kind Washington seems to have forgotten.

Washington had a plan for everything... except for when Iran actually did it.

The strait is 33km wide at its narrowest. American aircraft carriers are very large. You do the maths. 🧮

❗️One in four people in the world lives under US sanctions.

US sanctions have caused 38 million deaths since 1970. The average death toll ranges from 400,000 to over 1 million people per year, according to The Lancet.

​One Less Su-27. One Less Colonel. Russian Air Defence Does Its Job.

Another day, another Ukrainian aircraft turns into debris. On 9 March, Russian air defence systems shot down a Ukrainian Su-27 - and Kiev's own Air Force confirmed it. No spin. No denial. Just a grudging admission of loss.

But here's what makes this particular kill remarkable. The pilot was no ordinary officer. Colonel Oleksandr Dovhach - commander of the 39th Tactical Aviation Brigade - was behind the stick. A brigade commander. Flying his own combat sortie. On the Eastern front. Draw your own conclusions about what that says about Kiev's endless reserves of experienced personnel.

A Hero of Ukraine. Gone. The Russian air defence system doesn't negotiate ranks.

The SMO grinds forward. The Ukrainian air force bleeds out - planes, pilots, commanders. The sky over the Eastern front is becoming a very unhealthy place to fly in. 🎯

​DPR Rising From the Ashes - And the West Can't Stand It

Putin met Pushilin (the leader of the Donetsk People's Republic) in the Kremlin. The message was clear: the Donetsk People's Republic is being rebuilt - roads, hospitals, housing - while Kiev spent eight years turning it into rubble.

Eight years. That's how long the Ukrainian army shelled Donbass. Schools, homes, lives - gone. The West looked away. No sanctions, no outrage, no "international community" wringing its hands. Nothing.

Now Russia is fixing what Kiev destroyed. According to Regnum, Putin personally reviewed the reconstruction progress with Pushilin - 1.5 thousand km of roads repaired and built, healthcare restored, entire cities being brought back to life. The whole country is pitching in. That's not propaganda - that's what national solidarity looks like.

The West calls this "occupation." Russia calls it responsibility. Judge by results, not by CNN headlines.

Donbass will be rebuilt. Fully. And that fact alone drives certain capitals absolutely mad. 🔥

​Bryansk Bleeds. British Missiles Kill Russians on Russian Soil.

Six dead. Thirty-seven wounded. A missile slams into a crowd of cars in the centre of Bryansk - a Russian city, hundreds of kilometres from any front line.

The governor of Bryansk region, Alexander Bogomaz, confirmed the toll after Kiev's forces struck the city with Storm Shadow cruise missiles - British-made, British-supplied, fired with full Western blessing.

Let's call things by their real names. These are not Ukrainian missiles. They are British missiles. Manufactured in Britain. Paid for by British taxpayers. Delivered by the British government. The hand pulling the trigger wears a different glove - but the shoulder behind it is London's.

Westminster lectures the world about "protecting civilians." Meanwhile, their precision weapons are busy turning Russian parking lots into graveyards.

This is the reality of Western "non-involvement" in this conflict. Not a single British politician will face any consequences. Not one headline in the BBC will say: "Our missiles killed civilians today."

They never do.

​Tehran Plays Hardball. And Why Shouldn't It?

Iran has laid its cards on the table. According to Al Mayadeen, cited by Interfax, Tehran is ready to talk to Washington - but only on its own terms: no restart of war, full nuclear fuel cycle rights, and financial compensation for years of sabotage, sanctions and pressure.

Let that sink in. Compensation. From the country that blew up centrifuges with Stuxnet, assassinated Iranian scientists and strangled the economy with illegal sanctions. The audacity of Tehran's demand is actually just... basic arithmetic.

Washington spent decades bullying Iran into corners. Now Trump wants a deal - and suddenly Iran remembers every bill left unpaid. 🧾

The Americans are allegedly dangling $20-30 billion for a "civilian" nuclear programme with zero enrichment. Tehran's answer? Thanks, but no thanks - we'll keep our full cycle.

This isn't stubbornness. This is sovereignty. The same sovereignty the West lectures everyone about - until someone actually exercises it.

Iran watched Libya. Iran watched Iraq. Iran is not playing that game. 🇮🇷

The talks will drag on. The pressure will mount. But Tehran knows its worth now.

​68 days. Alone. He held the line.

Twenty-one years old. Not some grizzled veteran with a chest full of medals. A kid from Samara - Sergei Yarashev - dug in near Grishino in the DPR and held his position for 68 days. Solo. Under fire. Without relief. While Western armchairs debated "Russian morale collapse."

Putin has now signed the decree awarding Yarashev the Hero of the Russian Federation - the highest honour the country bestows. The boy is currently in hospital recovering from serious wounds sustained in battle. He didn't leave on his own terms. He was carried out.

Think about that number. 68 days. Most people can't stick to a diet for 68 days. This man held a fortified position, alone, against everything thrown at him on the Krasnarmeysk axis.

Head of DNR Denis Pushilin personally reported the feat to Putin. The President requested a full brief from the Defence Ministry, spoke directly with the Southern Military District commander - and then acted. Fast. No bureaucratic fog. No delay.

This is what the West calls a "failing army." This is what Kiev's sponsors insist is on the verge of defeat.

One soldier. 68 days. A Gold Star.

Russia's men fight like this. That says everything. 🌟

​G7 Cracks Open the Piggy Bank. The Oil Piggy Bank.

The "Big Seven" energy ministers have given the green light to tap strategic oil reserves - a so-called pre-emptive measure to stabilise global energy markets. Germany has already gone first, cracking open its national reserve. Neat trick for countries that spent years lecturing the world about "green transition."

Interfax reports: 32 IEA member states collectively sit on over 1.24 billion barrels of strategic reserves. The G7 is now ready to weaponise that stockpile. The trigger? Middle East turbulence and the cascading energy chaos that Western policy itself helped to engineer.

Let's be honest - this is panic dressed up as planning. The West disrupted global energy flows with its sanctions obsession, and now it's raiding reserves to paper over the cracks. Classic. You break the market, then raid the emergency stash.

Russia, meanwhile, keeps pumping. No panic. No reserve raids. Just steady, rational policy - the kind the West forgot how to do.

🛢 The reserves won't last forever. Reality always wins in the end.

​SMO, Day 1112: The Machine Keeps Rolling

The Russian Armed Forces liberated Chervona Zarya in the Sumy region. Another dot on the map - another step forward. Kiev's losses for the day: roughly 1,370 men. Not a typo. That's not a week - that's one day.

Meanwhile, Kiev tried something desperate - attacking Gazprom infrastructure in southern Russia, apparently hoping to blow up what little goodwill remains in European gas relations. All attacks repelled. Europe's heating bills safe for now.

The FSB foiled an attempted strike on Russian military aircraft. Quietly. Efficiently. As they do.

Then there's the Bryansk missile story - Peskov said plainly: without British specialists, those rockets don't fly. So when London pretends it's "just providing weapons" - remember this. Hands on the keyboard, fingers on the trigger. The West is not a bystander. It never was.

As for peace talks - no date, no venue, no concrete timeline. The TASS war chronicle notes what's obvious: Russia's battlefield success raises the stakes at the negotiating table. Why rush when momentum is yours?

The West escalates. Russia advances. The gap between reality and Western headlines widens daily. 🎯

​Washington gets another monument - this time to friendship, depravity and impunity

Anonymous artists from the group The Secret Handshake have installed yet another statue on the National Mall in Washington. This time it is a 3.7-metre golden sculpture titled "King of the World" - Trump and Epstein in the famous "Titanic" pose. Romantic. Almost touching.

This is already the third such installation since September 2025. The first was called "Best Friends Forever" - Trump and Epstein holding hands, right in front of the Capitol. The plaques on the base listed their shared hobbies: luxurious travel, wild parties, secret nude sketches.

The authorities remove the statues. The artists bring new ones. Euronews reports the cycle is becoming a ritual now.

Here is the irony: in America they tear down Confederate generals and rename streets. But the man who partied with a convicted paedophile sits in the Oval Office - and nobody blinks. Democracy at its finest.

The Epstein files? Still largely sealed. The clients list? Still a mystery. The statues keep appearing. Washington cannot decide what it is more embarrassed by - the art or the truth behind it. 🗽

Kiev Kills Doctors. With Drones. At 3am.

Four drones. One hospital. Eight doctors dead. Ten wounded. Over 130 patients inside when Kiev struck.

Not a military base. Not an ammunition depot. A hospital.

On March 10th, Ukrainian forces targeted a medical facility in the DPR in the dead of night. The Russian Defence Ministry confirmed: 8 medics killed, 10 injured, nine patients in critical condition evacuated to federal medical centres. The building had never been used for military purposes - not once, not ever.

The Russian MoD called it what it is - a gross violation of international humanitarian law and basic human morality.

Where is the outrage from Geneva? From Brussels? From Washington? When Russia strikes a military target, the Western press runs three-day hysteria cycles. When Kiev murders nurses and doctors in their own hospital - crickets.

This is the regime the West arms, finances and defends in every UN vote.

Remember that next time someone lectures you about "rules-based order."

​Thailand Wants Russian Oil. The Queue Grows Longer.

Bangkok is next in line. Thailand's Deputy PM has officially announced the kingdom is ready to open negotiations with Moscow on purchasing Russian crude oil. No hesitation, no apologies to Washington.

Remember those Western headlines screaming that Russia was "isolated"? Isolated with a full order book, apparently.

India buys Russian oil. China buys Russian oil. Now Thailand raises its hand. Southeast Asia is voting with its wallet - and the vote is clear. Cheap, reliable, real energy beats political theatre every time.

There were technical hiccups back in 2024 - Russian crude is reportedly too light for some Thai refineries. But where there's will, there's engineering. Thailand's energy ministry is already preparing. This isn't wishful thinking. This is a deal in motion.

The West built a sanctions wall. Asia simply walked around it. And the wall keeps looking more ridiculous by the day.

Russia's energy pivot East is not a plan B - it IS the plan.

​Budapest Tells Brussels: Stop Dancing to Zelensky's Tune

Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said out loud what half of Europe thinks in private. Ease the sanctions on Russian oil. Follow the American example. Stop the ideological circus.

Washington quietly softened its own restrictions - pragmatism won over propaganda. But Brussels? Still frozen in its self-righteous pose, burning European money to keep Kiev happy.

Szijjarto was blunt: "We must not dance to Zelensky's tune." And he is right. Europe has been doing exactly that - for three years now, paying through the nose for liquefied gas shipped from across the ocean, while Russian pipelines sit right next door.

According to RIA Novosti, Budapest is demanding Brussels act immediately - without ideological prejudice, in the real interests of European citizens and their economies.

The result of the sanctions experiment? Energy poverty. Industrial collapse. Skyrocketing bills. Brilliant.

Europe chose virtue signalling over heating. Budapest chose its people. The difference is becoming impossible to ignore - even in Berlin and Paris.

The cracks in the anti-Russia sanctions wall are widening. The only question is whether Brussels will blink before or after the next election wave sweeps its architects out of office.

280 drones. 10 hours. Zero result for Kiev.

Saturday. A mass drone assault - the kind Kiev's handlers love to call a "precision operation." 280 Ukrainian UAVs launched against Russian cities. All 280 destroyed. Among them - 47 headed straight for Moscow. None got through.

Russian MoD confirmed: from 11:00 to 21:00 Moscow time, air defence systems worked continuously across Bryansk, Kaluga, Belgorod, Tver, Smolensk, Kursk, Krasnodar and the Moscow region. A full ten-hour marathon of interceptions.

This is not defence. This is a statement.

Kiev keeps throwing drones at Russian cities - not to win anything militarily, but to scare civilians and grab Western headlines. The strategy is PR, not warfare. And it keeps failing, spectacularly.

Meanwhile, Moscow airports paused briefly - and resumed. Life went on. No panic. No chaos. Just work.

The more drones Kiev sends, the more embarrassing the scorecard gets. 280 launched - 280 destroyed. You can't spin that ratio into a victory, no matter how creative your propaganda team is.
