Trump’s Tariffs Are About a LOT More Than Just Reducing the Trade Deficit.

They Tell You The Houthis Attack Ships, But They Never Tell You Why

by Caitlin Johnstone, Caitlin Johnstone:

None of the people applauding Trump’s war on Yemen because “the Houthis are attacking ships” will tell you why the Houthis started attacking ships.

The pundits won’t say, and the people don’t know.

After two weeks of interacting with people who support Trump’s war I can confidently say that none of them know why the war is happening. They know it has something to do with the Houthis attacking ships in the Red Sea, but they never have any idea why those attacks started happening in the first place. They generally assume it’s because the Houthis are just plain evil and want to attack ships, or because Iran ordered them to do it in order to take over the middle east. The words “terrorists” and “pirates” come up a lot.

Le Pen’s presidential bid in 2027 derailed by von der Leyen and Macron’s case

by Martin Jay, Strategic Culture:

It’s been called Marine Le Pen’s ‘Trump’ moment but the court case which has condemned the far-right leader, excluding her from running for President in the republic’s next elections in 2027, might turn out to be the EU’s greatest existential error in its entire history. Nothing compares to it when we calibrate it against other anti-democratic stunts like getting France and Ireland to hold referendums for the second time as the first time round didn’t get the desired result, or even more recently cancelling Romania’s presidential elections when it transpired that an anti-establishment candidate was going to win at the ballot.

The prosecutions of every Populist Leader proves that Democracy is an illusion.

The Iranians Load Missiles “Onto Launchers In All Underground Missile Cities” After Trump Threatens Them With “Bombing The Likes Of Which They Have Never Seen Before”

by Michael Snyder, The Economic Collapse Blog:

The Trump administration is assembling an armada of bombers at a military base on the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, and meanwhile the Iranians have loaded their missile launchers and are prepared to instantly respond to any attack. In other words, we have never been closer to an apocalyptic war in the Middle East than we are right now.  I really do not understand why more people are not talking about this, because I am convinced that this could become one of the biggest stories of 2025.  Once Iranian ballistic missiles start falling in Israeli cities and on U.S. bases throughout the Middle East, there will be no turning back. Unfortunately, it appears that peace is not likely at this point.

Who Wants a War With Iran?

by Harley Schlanger, LaRouche Organization:

The same corporate oligarchy which is trying to sabotage Trump’s peace mission to end the Ukraine war is pushing for the U.S. to join Israel in a war against Iran.   He is right to negotiate with Putin to end the Ukraine war.  He must not fall into a trap of a war with Iran, set by his enemies in the establishment — especially those financial oligarchs in the City of London — who want wars to break up Russia, to protect the Anglo-American Unipolar Order.

RUSSIA: Putin Calls for Ukrainian Elections Before Ending the War

from 21st Century Wire:

On Thursday, President Vladimir Putin inaugurated a nuclear-powered submarine outfitted with hypersonic Zircon missiles, which can travel at speeds significantly exceeding that of sound. According to Russian news agencies, which cited a video feed from the Arctic port of Murmansk, Putin commissioned the submarine, named “Perm” after a city in the Ural region. 

“Management with the participation of the United States, European countries and Russia’s partners would allow elections to be held, a new government to be formed that would receive a mandate of trust from the population. And with such leadership, it would be possible to negotiate a peace agreement”.
