Russiagate:
Use as open (not related to the wars in Ukraine and Palestine) thread …
Situation in West Asia/Middle East is ominous –
Expectations of a major regional war are growing; Iran is preparing for a new war.
According to enemywatch
‘The convergence of terrorist Julani’s escalation, american and israel strategic maneuvers, and regional resistance preparations signals that a massive, multi-front conflict could ignite soon, affecting Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Iranian borders, and Yemen simultaneously. The next days may define the early stages of a mega war in the region, with far-reaching consequences for all actors involved’.
Vanessa Beeley:
Many are discussing imminent escalation in the region. The pressure that is being put upon the Jolani regime, in Lebanon and in Iraq to disarm the PMF – all point to the enemy running out of time and needing to destroy the Resistance. This is their achilles heel – time. If they are forced, by the Resistance war of attrition, to escalate precipitously – it will not go well for them.
— Sheikh Mahir Hammoud, President of the International Union of Resistance Scholars Sheikh Maher Hammoud
We demand that the weapons of the Arab armies be handed over to the Resistance.This is the right thing.All Arab arms should be delivered not to leaders who serve as slaves to the Americans,but to the honorable people of the nation.
Iran
– Statements of Major General Seyyed Yahya Rahim Safavi, Assistant and Senior Advisor to the Commander-in-Chief, Imam Khamenei;
🔸”I think a new war will probably occur and perhaps after that war, no more wars will happen.
🔸The United States and “Israel” believe that peace must be established by force and Iran in turn must be strong.
🔸 We examine scenarios, consider the worst possibilities and have prepared a plan for the worst-case scenario.
🔸 We are currently not in a ceasefire; we are in a state of war, and this situation could collapse at any moment.
🔸 There is no written protocol or agreement between us and the Israelis, nor between us and the Americans.
🔸 We must strengthen our offensive systems and strategies in diplomatic, media, cyber, missile and drone fields.
🔸 We believe that whoever desires peace must be prepared for war, and the best means of defense is offense.”

Lebanon:
– Hezbollah MP Hussein Al-Hajj Hassan:
Washington threatened us with annexing Lebanon to Greater Syria if it does not comply with the American proposal.
– Mufti of Lebanon: We must not be disarmed in the face of regional wolves:
Sheikh Ahmad Qabalan, in a message to Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, warned against the sedition being stirred up by the United States and the Zionist regime in the country.
The Lebanese Shia Mufti cautioned about the presence of hungry international and regional wolves seeking to tear the country apart, stressing that security issues must be at the top of the presidency’s priorities. He added: “There is no sane person in the world who would accept to be stripped of their power in front of these wild beasts beasts that are never satisfied with occupation, aggression, and bloodshed.”
– Iraq
Sheikh Mahdi Al-Kaabi, a member of the Al-Nujaba Movement of Iraqi Resistance, said an imminent military targeting is expected amid U.S. pressure to abolish the Popular Mobilization Forces law. He noted that this aligns with media reports of preparations for an American withdrawal from bases in Iraq to clear the way for israeli strikes on Iraqi factions, stressing that the situation remains fluid and subject to multiple variables.
– An unidentified reconnaissance aircraft was detected over Iraqi airspace using invalid transponder codes. Arab and Iranian sources allege it may be a NATO AWACS platform, though this remains unconfirmed. Observers note that the U.S. push to withdraw from bases in Iraq amid the elections is not for any other purpose but to reposition before the outbreak of a major Mega war. A large-scale Mega-War appears imminent, with the U.S. expected to operate from behind the scenes while Israel launches simultaneous attacks on Iraq and Iran.
🔹@enemywatch
– Mahdi Kaabi of Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba (HaN) declared the group will never surrender its weapons, even after U.S. withdrawal, warning of imminent attacks on iraq and reaffirming allegiance to Iran.
Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba, a military-focused Iran-backed militia in Iraq, has led most strikes on U.S. forces in late 2023, prompting U.S. airstrikes including the January 2024 killing of senior commander Mushtaq Taleb al-Saeedi.
Vanessa Beeley
– American and israel war machinery has advanced a step toward a mega war in the region. The U.S. announcement of withdrawing from bases in Iraq is being presented as if they are meeting a resistance deadline, but in reality, the Americans are leaving before launching a large-scale war to shift responsibility onto israel. The U.S. aims to protect its assets and avoid being directly targeted by Iran and regional resistance forces while maintaining strategic influence.
In the past few hours, it has become evident that terrorist Julani’s forces are moving into the conflict zone in Lebanon, with hundreds of foreign fighters deployed and weapons stockpiled, creating a significant threat to the Lebanese border. U.S. envoy Tom Barrack visited Beirut and suggested that disarming Hezbollah requires israel to take the lead, signaling that offensives may be launched directly by israel while terrorist Julani engages Lebanon on multiple fronts simultaneously.
The situation in Iraq is also deteriorating. Internal disputes are escalating dramatically under what appears to be foreign guidance. Reformist fronts recently asked Pezeshkian to formally halt enrichment and re-engage with the IAEA, indicating external influence over domestic decisions. If accurate, this is a problematic development until resistance enters full-scale operations. Resistance is expected to take time to organize, allowing adversaries to measure the full scope of broader war projects.
The potential escalation could unfold simultaneously, with israel and terrorist Julani initiating attacks in Lebanon, triggering ISIS 2.0 in Iraq, and targeting Iranian borders from Azerbaijan and Pakistan. Saraya al-Furqan, a malicious offshoot of Jaish al-Adl, has already begun operations near Zahedan in Sistan. Alternatively, the conflict could unfold phase-wise, with resistance forces engaging fully at each stage.
In Yemen, multiple fronts are active. The son of Saleh, backed by Saudi mercenaries and Al-Qaeda in Yemen, is preparing offensives, while Yemeni resistance anticipates intensive air and naval operations, particularly around the latest Israeli attack. Iranian media, including a host on IRIB Channel 6, has indicated that preemptive strikes may be carried out if credible evidence emerges of an imminent Israeli attack: “If war is inevitable, we should be the one to initiate it and deal the opening blow.” Yemen is also reportedly considering targeting Israeli naval vessels near Eilat.
It is increasingly clear that full-scale resistance operations could begin imminently. israel itself will not fight openly; Tel Aviv and its proxies posing as Muslims will conduct operations. Anyone siding with these proxies must submit to israel first. The convergence of terrorist Julani’s escalation, american and israel strategic maneuvers, and regional resistance preparations signals that a massive, multi-front conflict could ignite soon, affecting Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Iranian borders, and Yemen simultaneously. The next days may define the early stages of a mega war in the region, with far-reaching consequences for all actors involved.

Posted by: LoveDonbass | Aug 18 2025 4:30 utc | 56 I said explicitly that Trump in truth had a reactionary program which he accomplished, proving that he was not crippled by so-called Russiagate. So it is completely baffling that this commenter seems to think I really thought Trump had a revolutionary program (as in, “Lock her up!”) For the record, I was also being ironic when I spoke of the democratic will expressed by Trump winning the vote, which he didn’t. That I imagine is why this comment has irked so many usual suspects? I cannot speak to the killer vaccine, as having received said killer vaccine (and updated vax too) I must be, according to this commenter, dead.
Posted by: William Gruff | Aug 18 2025 9:58 utc | 62 This person has lost contact with reality, but generously shares the imaginary dialogue with imaginary people living in his head. I will point out that dirty politics is not only not treasonous, it is not even treasonous. Smearing the God Trump is not betraying the country.
Posted by: Tom_Q_Collins | Aug 18 2025 11:34 utc | 68 Spouting all that foolishness about Trump being Putin’s agent certainly did make the Russiagaters look like partisan hacks dutifully reciting the talking points. At least, they looked deranged or dishonest to me. And I imagine most of those people were Democrats. Of course I don’t give a shit if Democrats look bad, because I’m not a Democrat, never have been (went from Republican to left without any stopovers.) This commenter is completely unserious because at the end of the day (and most mornings too, near as I can tell) this defective thinker buys into Witless Guff. Witless Guff idiotically proclaims me a paid agent, therefore lackeys must be angry. Just another unwiped asshole doing their thing.
Posted by: c1ue | Aug 18 2025 13:48 utc | 72 The Steele dossier etc. had no direct role in the impeachment. It is not even clear that it had any role at all. The impeachment failed not just because the Republicans were never going to convict a Republican president, the impeachment failed because the offense was so arcane and doubtful that it wasn’t even clear what Trump supposed did wrong. (Which was, as best I could understand, interfere with the flow of lethal weapons to the Ukraine front for narrow partisan, even personal, gain. For my part, pausing arms shipments to Ukrainian fascism for any reason at all was a good beginning.) Most of the rest is pompous gibberish, both stupid and dishonest. The notion Comey was conspiring to overthrow Trump is contradicted by the fact—fact—that Comey released news of yet another inquiry into Clinton’s emails just in time to maybe even affect the election. So, when did Comey switch sides? Ugly natured BS, rife with low-minded sleaze about Epstein and so-called normal Americans. The only message here is, this contemptible PMC fuck thinks his God Trump will crush all opposition this time and the future will be his glorious boot stamping on faces, forever. By the way, I must point out that Trump has called the Epstein freaks stupid.
I must point out that anybody serious about Epstein and his influence would start by asking Acosta who told him Epstein was intelligence. And the second addresses the question of whether Epstein was suicided. Both these questions point directly at the Republicans. It’s like rigging elections, you look at who’s counting the votes, so to speak. Epstein got the plea deal while Bush was president and his death was while Trump was president. Instead, most people claiming to care focus on who might be mentioned somewhere, somehow, in something called files. Well, the Steele dossier was in files too. Even worse, it seems to be part of Epstein’s M.O. to suck up to famous people so that he could pose as a big shot, a wheeler dealer, in the know, an insider. As in insider trading? Crude propaganda has always sunk to baseless charges about sex, which are nicely inflammatory. Historically, they don’t usually hold up. As of now, I can’t see that most people moaning about Epstein are sincere. If you’re sincere, you want to start with Acosta.
Posted by: William Gruff | Aug 18 2025 14:59 utc | 79 Given the authoritative way this clown speaks of intelligence operations, this creature is the one most likely to be an agent of some service. I must point out that this idiot didn’t even understand the late Louis Proyect, who I despised. Proyect vociferously believed that no socialist state was truly socialist and that Leninist parties were evil. That’s why I despised Louis Proyect. If there is a commenter here who counts as a Louis Proyect, it is the Trotskyite wrecker posting as “Ahenobarbus.” As I recall, it was one of Roman emperor Nero’s official names. Is the screen name a tribute? Don’t pay enough attention to LoveDonBass to comment, but Sun of Alabama actually has studied MMT. (But I don’t agree with MMT.) Pretending the MMT is just some misdirection is just more Witless Guff.
