Larry's Excellent Writeup ...

 ... on Gulfies and India. Especially India. 

Russia, instead of leaving India to sleep in the bed it made with Israel, highlighted its readiness to support India, but at a cost. For instance, earlier in March (around March 4), sources indicated Russia was prepared to divert oil cargoes (e.g., ~9.5 million barrels near Indian waters) and potentially raise India’s share of Russian crude imports to up to 40%. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak mentioned receiving “signals of renewed interest” from India in larger volumes due to the crisis. Amid the surge in demand for Russia’s Urals crude, Russia hit India with a firm, but diplomatic, reminder of the cost of betraying a friend. Prior to the attack on Iran, Russia sold oil to India with deep discounts ($10-13 below Brent pre-conflict). While promising to help India compensate for its loss of Persian Gulf oil, Russia inoformed Modi that India would have to pay a premium of $4-5 over Brent for March/April deliveries. This reflects market forces rather than explicit “assurances” of continued discounts; some reports frame it as Russia treating it more as “business” without prior friendship-based concessions.

A reminder (again): 

Russia can remain magnanimous ... for additional price, of course, and India is about to learn it the hard way.  

Events Are Developing ...

 ... "exactly" as Donnie "planned", right? Ayatollah Sistani (another Senior Ayatollah) issued Jihad Fetwa against Israel and the US. It is a second one--you need three fetwas from senior ayatollahs for Jihad to start. The third one is from ... yep, is expected from the son of murdered Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has been elected a spiritual leader of Iran. I wonder what will he say? Nah, I don't. 

In A Very Few Words.

Two can play the game, as I said earlier. Per US "air defense"--as I write and speak non-stop for more than 15 years, US military's ideas about modern war are from 1990s, and so is TOE. 

My Deepest Respect For This US Marine ...

 ... he is a real hero! And Andre does it a true metal service!! 

This marine hero still serves his country, which is the USA! That's courage!

This Is How A Complete ...

 ... loss of marbles looks like. 

You didn't know? But DJT already "won". Iran is vanquished, the regime changed, the resistance is over ... Ah, wait--that's in Trump's universe.  Last time I checked, Trump's Israeli masters also had their ass handed to them in Southern Lebanon by Hezbollah, obliterating a group of IDF special forces and taking POWs. So much winning, so much ... yes, please, stop, Mr. Trump, we all are absolutely tired of this overwhelming volume of winning. In fact, I think I am beginning to develop an allergy for winning. 

Eviction Notice Has Been Served ...

 ... to the empire. Per ISR, it is worth reminding that Russia has second best ISR in the world and two can play the game. 

Ah, yes--Russia is not a party to the conflict, wink, wink. 

In Related News ...

... from Captain Obvious news agency--water is wet, fire is hot and concrete floors are hard.

Leaked spy report warns Trump's Iran war faces disaster. A leaked classified report by the National Intelligence Council has shed an unfavorable light on Donald Trump's decision to strike Iran, warning that military involvement could be disastrous. 

"Could be"? Seriously? It already is--it is a military-political catastrophe for the US and its master Israel, and anyone with half military brain knew it was coming. A bunch of corrupt amateurs driven by a combination of factors ranging from religious heresy to desire to cover up their crimes tried to play "war", not having a clue about it. American generals--a collection of losers, who never won anything but are prolific at parading their insanity, butthurt and incompetence in media are now pushing for deploying 82nd Airborne into what will turn out to be hell from Iranian stand-off weaponry against which the US Army has no defense. US "operational planning". Complete madness and utter, glaring military-intel incompetence on part of the US. Stupefying--the only word for it.
