An FBI lab rendition of a supposed eyewitness report in September 2023 of an ellipsoid bronze metallic object materializing out of light in the sky and disappearing instantaneously—publicly released Friday by the Pentagon. Department of Defense.

As Col Doug Macgregor says in my film WWIII: The Documentary, Iran is a continental power that cannot be suppressed by a naval power (the United States). It is a military fact.

As well, once the last round of disingenuous US/Iran negotiations in Pakistan concluded , Pakistan authorized it's ports and overland routes to be used by Iran to circumvent the US Naval blockade on Iran. US is not about to aggress against Pakistan (it's fickle intelligence client state) over this but would rather kill the story in western press, like so many developing facets of the WWIII theater unfolding.

🔋 🇺🇸 🛢 How the oilman’s president boosted a green transition

Donald Trump’s Iran war has made fossil fuels expensive and unreliable


France has some of the greenest energy on Earth – all thanks to its decision, after the oil shock of 1973, to stop relying on expensive fossil fuels from the unreliable Gulf. Now, others could follow.

Now, especially if the current energy crisis lengthens, many other countries could follow France in turning away from fossil fuels. Even if the crisis ends now, the memory of the turmoil of recent weeks will surely hasten the green transition.

But with long-term supplies of oil and gas increasingly unpredictable, they may have to. About 80 per cent of the world’s population lives in countries that are net importers of fossil fuels. Those prices have jumped while renewables keep getting cheaper. Last year, they accounted for 85.6 per cent of all new capacity in global power plants. The green transition has already begun. This crisis will accelerate it.

Europe and the Asia-Pacific need a reliable energy base. That now requires abandoning fossil fuels, and electrifying their economies. They will gladly pay premiums to predictable suppliers like Canada, Norway and Australia, which aren’t about to invade anyone or renege on trade deals because their leader is upset. The biggest winner will be China, chief global supplier of electric vehicles, batteries, solar panels and most other components of the green economy. Cannily, it has remained a reliable trade partner. True, going green will make us more dependent on Beijing. But buying panels or EVs is a softer dependency than needing daily Gulf oil.

The longer the crisis lasts, the stronger government action will become. After all, France only announced its nuclear plan five months after the 1973 shock. But consumers today are already leaping. Desperate for cheap energy, they are switching to solar panels and electric cars. Cutting emissions isn’t the aim, just an accidental byproduct.

A fast green transition seemed an impossible dream. Trump may have found the way to achieve it.
