Iran deploys warships in the Gulf of Aden
Iran sent two warships to the Gulf of Aden on Thursday, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported, establishing a military presence in waters off Yemen where the U.S. military launched cruise missile strikes on areas controlled by Iran-backed Houthi forces.
“Iran’s Alvand and Bushehr warships have been dispatched to the Gulf of Aden to protect trade vessels from piracy,” Tasnim reported.
The U.S. military strikes were in response to failed missile attacks this week on a U.S. Navy destroyer, U.S. officials said.
Iran’s key regional rival Saudi Arabia accuses Tehran of providing support to the Houthis, a charge the Islamic Republic denies.
Tasnim said the Iranian ships will patrol the Gulf of Aden, south of Yemen, which is one of the world’s most important shipping routes.

The world is building for war. The chess pieces are on the move. The Imperial Eagle is having it’s feathers plucked one by one. It will not be able to do anything but squawk unless it attacks soon. The countdown is nearing its end. Can it be averted? We shall see.

The President has scheduled a mtgn on fri with advisors from the military to discuss further military actions to be taken in Syria. Britain announced that they would shoot down Russian planes bombing the “thugs” in Aleppo. Sounds like “can;t we all just get along” to me.

penury, even ear plugs and mufflers cannot shut out the booming of the war drums in the West. Only the truly reality deaf can deny them.

Calm down, Mak. When I was over there the Iranians were always buzzing around the Gulf. Besides, they have oil shipments to protect just like the rest of us.
Maybe we’ll get lucky and the Houthis will shoot the wrong ship.

Good on Iran, the biggest pirates are already there in force. Maybe one of the pirates Aegis murder cruisers, or even better, one of their so-called ‘super-carriers’ will drive over a mine or two and sink with all hands.
Be nice see.
makati1 on Thu, 13th Oct 2016 10:12 pm
Anon, I think the US pulled all of their carriers out of the Gulf because they knew they were sitting ducks in a very small bath tub. I suspect that they will be over a thousand miles off any enemy shore before long, if they are not already. That is about the range of the new carrier killer missiles. Wouldn’t do to have one or more sunk before the war even begins. Today’s carriers are yesterday’s tanks. Both are obsolete.
makati1 on Thu, 13th Oct 2016 10:16 pm
Ghung, you know shit about what is going to happen there or anywhere. Nor do I. I was talking about all the OTHER places where the pieces are moving. Iran is a pawn, not a major piece, although a pawn CAN capture a queen, if used correctly by a major piece.

When compared to the likes of you Boat, without a shadow of a doubt, Putin is a brilliant mastermind. Come to think of it, compared to you, Forest Gump would have been like a modern day Leonardo da Vinci.

“Russia makes steps to expand its own military presence worldwide by establishing a permanent airbase in Syria and considers opening more foreign bases in countries such as Cuba, Vietnam, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.”
Now wouldn’t that be a 2X4 in America’s face? LOL

Penury said “Britain announced that they would shoot down Russian planes bombing the “thugs” in Aleppo.”
That is not true. Britian did however say that British planes have authorization to defend themselves against Russian attacks when flying in Iraq.

And you thalb, are mostly fucking retarded if you think Russia, would arbitrarily attack the british for no reason whatsoever. Russia has made it abundantly clear, that any further attacks by the uS or its stooges, on Russian or Syria forces, would be replied in kind,(that would include britain btw). At no point, does Russia imply it will just attack the empires illegal ‘coalition’ forces on a whim. The only ones doing things like that, are the uS and its partners in crime.
That is the part you conveniently left out.
The british are in essence saying, they (britain) can attack anyone they please, including Syrian and Russia forces, yet any retaliation in kind, would be considered by them as, an ‘attack’. If britain thinks they can get away with a uS-style ‘mistake’, and be immune to counter-attack. Let them try I say, a shot down limey jet is the next best thing to a uS one. The ones threatening an air war, are your friends @ PNAC, not Russia.

According to US dissident and Trump supporter Paul Craig Roberts (former member Reagan government) president Duterte of the Philippines is being set up for “regime change”:
http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2016/10/12/regime-change-in-the-philippines-paul-craig-roberts/
Duterte signaled that he wants to defect to the Chinese, away from Washington, but it will not be that easy to escape from the “liberty empire”.
PCR links to William Engdahl’s article “The Eurasian Century Is NOW Unstoppable”
http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/10/11/eurasian-century-now-unstoppable.html
Which of course is true, 330 million Americans, half of the youth non-white, are not going to rule 2 billion people with a higher IQ, that’s a given.
From a Russian-European point of view the only thing that remains to be organized is the prevention of a last-minute US-Chinese alliance.
The sanhedrin has made it clear on several occasions that it would prefer an alliance with China over the existing one with Europe:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBMnDLQr7-M
[6:47]
Reason: it would be a winning coalition, just like the US-Soviet alliance was a winning alliance. That’s why we in Greater Europe ***MUST*** prepare for an intervention on US soil and break the stranglehold the sanhedrin has over European America. Just like continental Europe needed to intervene in North-America in 1776 to break the stranglehold the British had over the colonialists.
Here a recent sanhedrin attempt to set up the Chinese against the Russians:
http://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2014/07/03/where-do-borders-need-to-be-redrawn/why-china-will-reclaim-siberia
But this insane speech should have sufficed to make the Chinese and Russians realize they can only survive the coming onslaught together:

Let them come. Something needs to end two centuries of Anglo dominance and as always that something is going to be a war.
We had the British 19th century and the US 20th century. Just like a human gets on average 80 years to live, history has shown that a geopolitical top dog gets a century and then it is over:

One mistake is all it will take to light this off. However, the US election might keep it dampened down for awhile. It is a freaking mess of not-thought-of-consequences; consequences that should have been anticipated and properly planned for, or avoided altogether.
Staying out of other people’s countries and lives is a good first step.

And keeping people from other countries from yours is a good second step.

Paulo – If hostilities ramp up soon it will be interesting to see what President Obama does/doesn’t want to add to his legacy. As well as what he’ll leave the next POTUS to deal with.
Davy on Fri, 14th Oct 2016 2:59 pm
I find it hard to believe Obama would leave office with war as his legacy but in a way it would cement his presidency as a pivotal presidential period. Unfortunately in this situation a tragic one.

Russia and other Petro stats have around 15 years left before EV’s take away any hope of new oil demand. Because electricity demand will spike nat gas may grow for a time till solar and wind eat’s it’s lunch.
rockman on Fri, 14th Oct 2016 5:02 pm
“Russia and other Petro stats have around 15 years left before EV’s take away any hope of new oil demand.” Yes indeed: just 15 more years before 150 EV’s will be sold for each ICE sold. Unlike in 2015 when 150 ICE’s were sold for each EV sold.
GregT on Fri, 14th Oct 2016 5:24 pm
And with current population growth, there will be an extra 1.2 billion people on the planet Earth in 15 years. That should really help to curb oil demand.

I just bought Felco F-6 and F-2 pruners and F-910 holsters for everyone as Christmas gifts. I bought ten sets of both pruners and one holster for everyone in my prepping community. I will apply Obenauf’s oil to all the holsters before giving them away. I didn’t want to waste too much time or invest too much money in this year’s gifts.
I skipped this because I don’t care about anything anymore.

Penury, the US president now has dictatorial powers tanks to dozens of “Executive Orders”. Few understand that FACT or are even aware of it. Most were signed at times when there were other distractions and many never realy got much news coverage. Yes, he can postpone (end) elections when there is a “national emergency” and what is considered a “national emergency” is what he says it is.
Perhaps the US sheeple should call up the list of E.O.s on their PC and verify my assertion? Nah! Too much bother.

Sorry, that would probably take up a significant amount of space.

The first thing that I did when I retired, was to get me one of those monocles. You never know when one of ‘them Jews’ might sneak up on you when working in the garden. Fortunately for you, ‘them Jews’ aren’t particularly fond of eating man made chemicals. You should be safe shopping in AC comfort. I’m envious.
