#Trump surprised #Gulf allies by announcing “Project Freedom” on social media Sunday afternoon, the officials said, angering leadership in #SaudiArabia. In response, the Kingdom informed the U.S. it would not allow the U.S. #military to fly aircraft from Prince Sultan #Airbase southeast of #Riyadh or fly through Saudi #airspace to #support the effort, the officials said.

George W. #Bush himself spoke of a #crusade when he launched the Iraq War with a lie. It is truly alarming to see that humanity has not progressed since the Middle Ages and that religion is still used to justify wars. The propaganda may have improved today, but the lies are still so cheap and transparent that it hurts.

The war lasted more than seven years, cost $3 trillion, and killed 3,482 U.S. service members and about 200,000 Iraqi civilians.

Today, war even has the potential to trigger a world war. No one can predict what this #madness is capable of. #meme #politics #holywar #war #crusade #history #fail #ethics #problem #middleeast #usa #religion #government #pentagon #military #finance #money #society #law #worldorder #worldtrade #economy #militaryindustrialcomplex #conspiracy #crazy #mad #world #future #peace #diplomacy #superpower #freedom #democracy #humanrights #uno #border #fake #propaganda #humanity #civilization #worldwar #truth #bible #church #doomsday #apocalypse #maga #qanon

#usa #israel #iran : #warofaggression / #worldtrade / #straitofhormuz

„Iran said on Friday that it has no plan to close the Strait of Hormuz and denied reports claiming that the country has fully blocked the strategic waterway.
According to a report by Iran's Tasnim News Agency, a senior officer of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (#IRGC) said in an interview with state TV that claims by some media outlets that Iran had closed the Hormuz strait were inaccurate.“

So, the world is heating up like a balloon, and the axis of control freaks are calling dibs on the last deposits of fossil while zipping through a new shipping lane opened thanks to global warming. A race to suck every last drip from the Earth's top hat to feed AI smart cities. Smoke 'em if you got 'em. Mining Ukraine minerals, how are they being exported? Working that out with Russia I suppose. Canada, Greenland, it all makes sense now. New trade routes and attack vectors. The world is going full tilt. I feel like a frog in a kettle.

(Collateral damage…)

„With Iran and Israel firing missiles at each other since Friday, interference has disrupted navigation systems near the vital sea route between Iran and Oman which handles about a fifth of the world's oil.“

"In his latest book,"Hayek’s Bastards: Race, Gold, IQ, and the #Capitalism of the #FarRight", #QuinnSlobodian writes that the rise of the contemporary right — both in its #technolibertarian and more #authoritarian strains — cannot be understood without considering neoliberal thinkers’ turn to nature and science as a buttress against demands for #socialjustice and #affirmativeaction in the 1990s.

"The book was intended as a corrective to the narrative in which the far right was understood as a response to the excesses of #neoliberalglobalization.
The idea is to understand how people who prioritize #economicfreedom above all else would find helpful allies in people who believe in natural forms of hierarchy such as race, gender, and intelligence.
Things like the present project of destroying the #worldtrade system are not explainable by simple structural incentives. It has a very strange intellectual coherence, but one that you can map out.
There’s a concerted effort right now in the United States to make the practice of scholarship as we’ve understood it impossible. It’s really an effort to defund #highereducation."

~WTO staff comfort themselves that the Trump admin has not so far said it will leave the trade body.

‘It can survive this if the non-U.S. WTO members agree to remain committed to the obligations they've made, and decide they can run the system without the U.S’

(Note: The US has been WTO’s largest financial contributor. Trump crippled the WTO his first term when he blocked judge appointments to its top appeals court.)

Norway, a global oil leader, saw record exports in 2024, with top buyers including the UK, Netherlands, and Germany. Despite its clean extraction, challenges like volatile prices and falling demand persist. Should Norway cut oil exports or invest in sustainability?

India, the world’s largest spice exporter, shipped $5B worth of turmeric, cumin, and cardamom in 2024 to the USA, UAE, UK, Germany, and Malaysia. Unique climate, farming traditions, and processing ensure top quality. Despite climate challenges and competition, India leads globally.

Trump's tariffs are going to make goods more expensive primarily in the Midwest and South, his leading voting blocs. And they will worship him for it.

In 2024, Argentina led global soybean meal exports, shipping $12B in livestock feed. Vietnam, Indonesia, Poland, Spain, and Malaysia topped importers, with $7.086B to other nations. This critical export fuels food production but faces threats from climate risks and rising competition.
