During the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805, Napoleon applied the maxim of not interrupting the enemy when he makes a mistake, slowing his generals to allow the Russian and Austrian armies to abandon the strategic heights of Pratzen. This opposition tactical error allowed Napoleon to counterattack at the right moment and secure one of his most brilliant victories.

“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” The cover of The Economist on April 1 condenses a good part of the current geopolitical moment into a single image: Trump, in the foreground, blurry, twitching, almost swallowed by his own gesticulation; In the background, Xi Jinping, clear and serene. This is not an occurrence. The British weekly explains that, in Beijing, the war promoted by Washington against Iran is seen as a serious strategic error by the United States; and that a good part of the Chinese calculation consists precisely in letting that error continue.

The White House wanted to sell the offensive as a show of force: to discipline Iran, intimidate its adversaries and remind the world who is boss. But, a month after the fighting began, the conflict has disrupted energy markets, raised the price of crude oil, expanded regional instability for US allies and opened new political and military costs for Washington. The old empire, instead of exhibiting omnipotence, once again demonstrates that it only knows how to burn, but that it no longer controls.

Even the swordsmen hired by The Economist 's capital realize that, from the Chinese perspective, this war is a distraction that wears down the United States and distances it from the decisive chessboard: East Asia. Furthermore, the crisis generated confirms Xi's theses: shielding the country from external shocks through strategic reserves, energy diversification and state-run, long-term economic planning. At the same time, the closure or threat of the Strait of Hormuz pushes many countries to think about the energy transition, an area in which China dominates key chains such as solar panels, batteries and other components. While Washington improvises to the rhythm of Trump's impulses, Beijing is a methodical, confident and reliable actor.

Washington no longer orders the world, but rather destabilizes it, makes it more expensive and breaks it down. And every time it does so, it confirms before millions of eyes its loss of hegemony.

Reports Claim US Ignores Cuban Bound Oil Tankers.

The tanker – Anatoly Kolodkin – owned by the Russian state-controlled shipping company Sovcomflot under U.S. sanctions since 2024 – left Primorsk, Russia on march 9, and is now expected to dock at the port of Matanzas as early as Monday night or Tuesday.

The tanker – Anatoly Kolodkin – owned by the Russian state-controlled shipping company Sovcomflot under U.S. sanctions since 2024 – left Primorsk, Russia on march 9, and is now expected to dock at the port of Matanzas as early as Monday night or Tuesday.

This development marks a notable pause in the administration’s “maximum pressure” campaign, which has included threats to third-party nations, the escorting of at least one earlier tanker away from Cuba, and recent Treasury Department measures explicitly barring Cuba from any waivers on Russian-origin oil. Despite two U.S. Coast Guard cutters positioned in the region capable of interception, no orders were issued to stop the vessel. The Coast Guard referred questions to the White House, which did not respond.

The decision avoids an immediate and potentially thorny naval confrontation with Russia in the Caribbean, even as President Trump has publicly suggested military options toward Cuba. At a recent investment conference, Trump stated he believed he would have “the honor of taking Cuba” and added, “Cuba is next, by the way,” in reference to possible use of force after the Iran conflict. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has similarly called for new leadership in Havana, stating that “Cuba’s economy can’t change unless their system of government changes.”

Saudi Arabian Prince Sultan Airbase Hit With Iranian Missiles.

USS Tripoli has finally arrived in the CENTCOM region, which presumably means somewhere in the northern Arabian Sea.

In the meantime, US losses have mounted in the region. Shocking new images have also now revealed that an E-3 AWACS plane worth nearly $300 million was also completely destroyed. Experts believe the AWACS were rushed there in order to make up the radar gap for the strategic-level radars like the AN/TPY-2s that had already been destroyed by Iran, but now even the AWACS are getting smoked, leaving the US increasingly blind.

The Islamic Republic is benefiting twofold from price moves since the start of the war. Its flagship crude grade is selling to customers, mostly in China, at the slimmest discount in more than 10 months to Brent. And the international benchmark itself has surged above US$100 a barrel since the bombing began.

He Must Have Been Caught Fucking Little Boys.

Dumb shit.

As such, Trump would love to be able to plaster the news cycles with hulking headlines of fat infrastructural targets getting lit up by bombs that can be seen from satellite feeds. His ego believes that makes him and the US look triumphant, at least compared to the standard fare of cheap decoys and empty desert the US has been pounding for weeks now. The problem is, this will accomplish little other than immiserating local civilians and turning them against the Empire that had claimed it was coming to “liberate them” from the “oppressive regime”.

Deep State Trump Holds The World Hostage.

Trying to define Donald Trump’s position with respect to Iran is akin to watching a weather vane in a hurricane… i.e., it is spinning wildly in all directions.

• We can have dialogue, but I don’t want to do a ceasefire.
• Later on Friday: The U.S. is “considering winding down” the war with Iran.
• Earlier on Saturday: Axios reports Trump is planning “possible peace talks with Iran.
• Now: “If Iran doesn’t open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours the US will obliterate their various POWER PLANTS.

President Trump said Friday that he was considering “winding down” the war, though U.S. officials said the expectation was there would still be two to three additional weeks of fighting. In the meantime, Trump’s advisers want to start laying groundwork for diplomacy.

Behind the scenes: Trump’s envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are involved in the discussions around potential diplomacy, sources say.

Any deal to end the war would need to include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, address Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and also establish a long-term agreement on Iran’s nuclear program, ballistic missiles and support for proxies in the region.

There has been no direct contact between the U.S. and Iran in recent days, though Egypt, Qatar and the U.K. have all passed messages between the two, a U.S. official and two additional sources with knowledge said. Egypt and Qatar have informed the U.S. and Israel that Iran is interested in negotiating, but with very tough terms.

Trump Threatens To ‘Obliterate’ Iranian Power Plants.

Deranged US President, Donald Trump, threatens nations to presumably, hold the world hostage. Death to the empire, death to tyranny.

Being a narcissist, Trump may be seeing his legacy as an economic, finance guru must be terrified when he realizes that the Iranian assertiveness in controlling the Straits of Hormuz, will undoubtedly cause chaos in the global oil markets not to mention bring the specter of the price of oil actually approach, if not surpass, the prediction of the Iranian officials, reaching two hundred dollars per barrel.

Another reason for his panic, would be another US loss, in another war started by it, on his watch, especially. Many of Trump's supporters, prior to him being selective about which of his promises he would keep, thought that he had a shot of being one of America's great president. This is no longer the case and now he may be in a panic because he has no idea, how he will change that particular dynamic, to try and resurrect that illusion.

Obviously, this is all speculation on my part, since it is difficult to understand how the mentally ill actually thinks and what really motivates them, but it is evident, that despite his tough talking, Trump is worried that the longer the Iranians fight back, defend and assert their sovereignty, his image, his reputation, his vanity along with his political capital, will soon be taking massive hits.

The US Doesn't Want Peace Only Chaos And Hegemony.

In a new Saban Analysis Paper, six Brookings experts analyze the main policy approaches toward Iran. In examining the benefits and drawbacks of the nine options—including engagement, persuasion, airstrikes, and containment—the authors refrain from recommending one policy over the other.

Rather, they present the details of the policies in a manner that allows readers to understand the complexity of the challenge that is Iran and decide for themselves which group of policies is best.

The United States want's to destroy all near peer adversaries with the emphasis on Russia and China. Iran is the gateway to that path of destruction and these papers will prove this claim.

The papers will also prove that voting is futile since one cannot vote to remove tyrants. Tyranny cannot be voted out, reasoned with, nor will it comply. History has shown how to deal with tyrants and in that, there are no comfort zones.

US With Proxy Israel Continue War Crimes.

Things have really hit the fan earlier today after Iran’s largest natural gas field, the South Pars, was struck by Israel.

This of course came directly after Israel had assassinated Iran’s Secretary of the Supreme National Council Ali Larijani in a strike that was said to have also killed upwards of 100+ civilians in the vicinity, as it leveled the apartment block he was in, and possibly even surrounding buildings.

We're supposed to believe that Israel is the entity escalating events here and that Trump and his deep state neocons are blissfully ignorant, if not innocent. Wrong, for all we know, the US, performed this attack blamed its Israeli proxy, for plausible deniability. That's what proxies and vassals are for. Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

Oil Prices Hit $112 As Neocons Crash Global Economy.

We all know that Trump and the neocons are ruthless but what if they're just pretending not to have a plan, in Iran? What if their real plan is to have the Straits of Hormuz closed, to have the global south suffer and especially to cut off China from her energy supplies?

At the time of writing, Brent crude had climbed to $112.00, up 4.27%, while West Texas Intermediate had risen 2.73% to $98.95.

The latest price spike came after Iran targeted energy infrastructure across the Middle East in retaliation for earlier strikes on its South Pars gas field.

Qatar confirmed that Iranian missile strikes had caused “extensive damage” around the Ras Laffan industrial complex, the world’s largest liquefied natural gas facility and a cornerstone of global gas supply.

Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates suspended operations at its Habshan gas facility after missile-related incidents, with debris from intercepted projectiles reportedly affecting additional energy infrastructure, including the Bab oil field.

Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, and Bahrain continue to be targeted by Iran, with Saudi Arabia reporting that air defences had destroyed a total of 19 drones in the Eastern Province and four missiles launched toward Riyadh.

Shipping also remained under threat, with the UK’s maritime security agency reporting that a vessel east of the Strait of Hormuz caught fire after being struck by an “unknown projectile.”

These coordinated strikes and the prior evacuation warnings issued for regional energy facilities reveal Iran's strategy of targeting the Gulf’s energy backbone to increase prices and therefore pain for the U.S., Israel, and their allies.

Reports indicate that the US is now considering deploying additional military assets to the region, redoubling efforts to secure shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. With no sign of de-escalation in sight, the upward pressure on oil prices looks set to continue.
