At the same time as we say that in a real war, today, we would find it almost impossible to win. And in a nuclear war annihilated.

But those war drums all join up in a patriotic delirium, no matter how they contradict each other. For some thought up herd, unable to use their own minds without crutches

So, that electrical future and rare earth's

Then we have Maynamar, where I could find no figure on what rare earth reserves they are thought to have.

surprise surprise

"The U.N. nuclear watchdog's board of governors on Thursday formally found that Iran isn't complying with its nuclear obligations for the first time in 20 years, a move that could lead to further tensions and set in motion an effort to restore United Nations sanctions on Tehran later this year."

Such a lovely setup for a war, couldn't be better if planned. Which means that we just got us a new nuclear contender in Israel / USA - Iran, fighting for the top position together with India - Pakistan. Where China borders and damms both. As in damming and water.

Well, the same can be said for the whole of Middle East, damming and water, thinking of it

So Israel might, or might not inform USA. In a worst case scenario being a silent associate. Plausible deniability as we tend to call it geopolitically. But this is quite transparent.

"U.S. President Donald Trump said the U.S. was moving personnel out of the Middle East because it "could be a dangerous place". Iranian Defence Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh also said on Wednesday that if Iran was subjected to strikes it would retaliate by hitting U.S. bases in the region."


Thinking of the killing field USA and Israel created, calling it 'aid', it becomes an open question.

And this is a joke, a bad one. Very secret ... You know


https://www.reuters.com/world/bilderberg-group-meets-sweden-amid-us-europe-tensions-2025-06-12/

as for Reuters thinking of Ukraine when it comes to the Bilderberg Meeting discussing rare earths etc?

Another joke. They're not even sure if Ukraine have it. Well, they must have something, possibly, but ?
