This decision comes at a time when global energy markets are under immense pressure due to escalating tensions around the Strait of Hormuz—one of the world’s most critical maritime chokepoints for oil transportation.

The Great Reset: The Fed to The Family
The Great Reset: From "The Fed" to "The Family" For almost a century, the U.S. Dollar has been backed by aircraft carriers and the "full faith and credit" of a government. But the Trump Crime Syndicate has realized that "full faith" is a sucker’s game.

IS Russia Winning Ukraine War?
For much of the conflict, Europe framed Ukraine’s struggle as a clear case of resistance against Russian aggression.

WHY ARAB STATES BEING TARGETED?
It is absolutely clear that they will go after every country that threatens Israel or is considered an existential or security threat to it.
