I have been waiting for this shoe to drop. Saving Israel for last. The Fed, then China, then Ukraine, now Israel.
Do we agree Epstein was tied with Mossad through Maxwell? How about 9/11, the Epstein painting of Bush toppling jenga towers? Israel benefitted immensely post 9/11. The Awan spying case? Israel has been up to no good decades.
So how would you punish Israel? Trump could never do it publicly. There is no way to get the optics right. So you have it done when Biden is the face of the country. You give Iran a few billion, knowing they are immediately gonna turn around and use it to fund Hamas. Iran has been doing this for fucking ever.
What does that give Trump? He comes back and saves the day for Israel, after they have been knocked down a peg. He then also has ammunition to fuck over Iran, punishing them for nuclear deal shenanigans. The world is not going to have any issues with very harsh treatment of Iran in the coming years.
We were waiting for this. Israel has declared a fucking war. This isn’t some small thing. This is a proof.
I don’t believe in coincidences. Ukraine is own the downhill side. Peace treaty and giving up the Donbass to Russia is due anytime. Does anyone think it’s a coincidence that as soon as Ukraine starts to wrap up, Israel kicks off? Bullshit that’s coincidence. And it’s no coincidence that this is the worst possible scenario for Biden as well. He looks like the jackass that just paid Iran to attack Israel.
They will still be fighting next year.
That happened less than a month ago, you think this operation took 3 weeks to plan?
If you want to look at coincidences it's the 50th anniversary of 1973 war aka the October War. That seems significant to me.
Also did any of that money reach Iran yet?
The money was in a South Korean bank and it got moved to a bank in Qatar.
I read it's still in that bank and yet to be released.
Who is still gonna be fighting next year? You think Ukraine is gonna have any bodies left a year from now? It’s been a massacre. They are yanking 50 year old men off the streets. More than half of the vehicles they have been given are burned out hulks, they are transporting troops in mini vans and pickup trucks. They have no aircraft. The Abrams they are being given are going to be destroyed as soon as they use them.
It’s been 140 billion dollars, 18 months, and Ukraine has “taken back” 3 villages. Less than 1/100th of the captured land has been taken back in 18 months. And it’s cost them everything they have. They haven’t even reached the first russian defense line, and there is 3 of them. All they are doing is driving into Russia mines and drones. It’s absurd. The only reason they haven’t given up for a peace treaty is because the US won’t let them and keeps sending them dollars.
Unless NATO starts WW3, Ukraine is over. Russia owns the Donbass and nothing short of total invasion by hundreds of thousands of NATO forces, aircraft, and vehicles is going to change that. They have air superiority. It’s over.
Ukraine can keep “fighting”’for another year, if by fighting you mean sending men and vehicles in peace meal to get blown up by mines or drones 5 miles before they even get to the first Russian line.
I don't think this is any reflection of the current state of the war. Ukrainian armor has been operating behind the Russian line of defenses. Small spots, but the breach has happened.
I just read an assessment that basically neither Ukraine or Russia is happy with the situation. And I think I agree with it.
Russia because Ukraine is still advancing Ukraine because the advance is painful and slow.
Russia understands they will be fighting next year is currently saving a lot its missiles for winter, where the are going to do another attack on Ukraine's energy sector.
The Russia Black Sea fleet just left Crimea due to constant attacks. which means less attacks on Ukraine's grain trade. https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-milblogger-difficult-accept-russia-moved-its-black-sea-fleet-2023-10
They have been small breaches of the line and Ukraine's current strategy is widen the lanes for further attack. They breached the line in September and took Robotyne which left them 15 miles from Tokmak. It's on the second defense line near Zaporizhzhia and is a logistics hub for Crimea https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4221974-ukraine-breaks-russias-main-defensive-line-with-armor-as-forces-make-critical-advances/
Let's see what happens with the city of Tokmak in the next 6 weeks. If they are fighting there in December, we will see a lot of fighting in the next year. Russia has been racing to reinforce Tokmak, but also Russia officers families are said to be freeing the area according to the Mayor of Russia held Melitopol.
Iran didn’t need the $6 billion to start this. This plan has so many fingerprints on it. Just think about these paramoter dudes trained somewhere- Iran? You think Israel Intelligence wouldn’t have seen dudes flying around Palestine?

Might have to look into one of these
Would have have to have trained in Palestine?
I have no idea how these things work, but presumably, if you learn how to fly them, you can worry about the route in Palestine by further training like studying maps or GPS or something.
That happened less than a month ago, you think this operation took 3 weeks to plan?
I got plans to remodel part of my house but no money right now. If money suddenly fell from the sky to do it I would start next week. Just saying.
they didn't get the money and
Are armed enemies of your remodelling watching all the Home Depots? Do you have to pass through a checkpoint to get to and from the Benjamin Moore store? ;)
I think these might be different types of operations.
My wife wants redo a three year old kitchen because she doesn't like the color, I might start using this on her.
It doesn’t matter. That money won’t be directly used to fund the war, one of the supposed pre-requisites is it is meant for humanitarian uses. But that whole idea is idiotic in such a naive way it’s hard to believe anyone would think it would work.
Iran creates a budget in which they set aside a billion dollars on roads and hospitals. Then they go to Quatar and say we want a billion for roads and hospitals. They get handed a free billion dollars. This means they no longer have to use their own funds, and have a free billion dollars now laying around.
Even if they haven’t got the money yet, it doesn’t matter. They have a free 6 billion dollars waiting for them. They don’t need to spend that specific money, money is liquid. Either way their account balance is up 6 billion. They can now use money from anywhere in their budget to fund whatever they want.
The only way this would work is if Iran had no money. And that 6 billion was the only income they have. Of course, that’s preposterous. Even the smallest 3rd world countries have budgets. Let alone a country with oil reserves that has no issue defeating sanctions by selling China and North Korea oil for cash on ghost ships with no AIS.
I understand money can be shifted around. But I think the coincidence with the 1973 October War 50th anniversary is much, much stronger. So I doubt the 6 billion has anything to do with that.
In fact, I would say, this war makes it less likely the money gets out of Qatar, that Iran didn't care about it in its calculations.
