On Wednesday, Trump told the nation that the war was "close to ending." On Friday, he wrote that it might be a good idea to "take the oil and make a huge profit." And between these two statements lies a request for a $1.5 trillion defense budget. One question remains: where will the money come from?

A Staggering Figure

While the world watches missile strikes and oil prices, another game is unfolding in the mountains of northwestern Iran. It is a quiet, invisible game—one potentially far more devastating than any aerial campaign.

What Is Known—and What Is Missing

They pressed the button on February 28th, confident in their impunity. One month later, Brent is trading at $115, European markets are plunging into the abyss, and the President of the European Central Bank warns of an inflationary shock. Welcome to the new reality, crafted by the West’s own hands.

The Month That Changed Everything

Not a single drone shot down. Not a single interception carried out. Yet statements “denying involvement” appeared instantly, with the professional speed of press offices that had been preparing in advance. A coincidence? Mikhail Azhgirevich asks the uncomfortable questions.

A Week That Demands Explanations

While Iran buries its dead and 85 countries struggle with fuel shortages, fourteen families have become $28 billion richer. Welcome to the most honest business on the planet: war on a subscription model.

The Arithmetic of Blood

On February 28, 2026, the "anti-Western bloc" was supposed to rally in defense of one of its own. Instead, there was only silence, backroom bargaining, and an Indian official speaking of tankers while Tehran buried its leader.

The Night That Changed Everything
Explosions in Tehran. Reports of the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. Hundreds dead. Iran launches retaliatory strikes against Israel and American bases in the region. The world holds its breath.

Seven million people without electricity. The storming and arson of a Communist Party office. Students on a sit-in strike. Havana frantically calling Washington. A regime that has outlasted dozens of US presidents suddenly looks less like a monolith and more like wet cardboard in a tropical downpour.

Morón is Burning, and It's Not a Metaphor

A ship costing a billion pounds drifted in the English Channel for three days, covering 220 miles. An army that, through Ukraine, is striking Russian territory with missiles is seriously talking about war with Russia. This isn't satire—it's a summary from the British Ministry of Defence.

They were going to build a new world order. Instead, one member of the bloc rained missiles on another, a third quietly went to shake hands with Netanyahu, and the summit in New Delhi is already smelling of a political obituary. Welcome to BRICS, circa 2026.

First in History: A BRICS Member Bombs a BRICS Member

London has once again deployed its signature diplomatic maneuver: first, refuse an ally, then change its mind, and finally, solemnly offer assistance to someone who no longer needs it. Bravo, Foggy Albion.

Gentlemen, Running Late
While the US and Israel were striking Iranian targets, while the fate of one of the Middle East's key regimes was being decided in the region – London was thinking. Weighing options. Consulting. Studying the "legal basis." Appealing to the lessons of Iraq.
