Study says Omicron might be less deadly than the flu. Novak Djokovic's battle against the Australian government is the latest narrative-shattering story in the saga of Covid.
I wanted to take a minute and talk about how absolutely disconnected America's political class (this includes the White House Press Core) is from the costs of their actions, and most recently, their rhetoric.

While Covid restrictions continues to go away in the States, all those who were hurt by "The Left" over the last few years are fully behind a "Trucker Convoy" to D.C.. Falling for the "Tea Party Inc." grift all over again, just in time for mid-terms.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for a number of airstrikes that hit positions in Kurdish-held Erbil, Iraq over the weekend. Erbil is in northwestern Iraq, close to the Iranian border. Initial "reports" by everyone from CNN to insert alternative media personality was that a US Consulate was targeted and hit.
This makes sense to a Western audience, filled with cartoon history of the Middle East. The reality is that the IRGC had targeted an ISRAELI "strategic center" in Erbil, in retaliation for an Israeli air strike outside Damascus 10 days ago that killed 2 members of the IRGC. Well most Western audiences will hear that story and respond with "can't trust the Iranians", I respond with "can't trust governments".
This is not the first time Iran has struck at what they claim are Israeli positions in Iraq. Just as Israeli strikes in Syria are against "Iranian positions". Punishing the US for something the Iranians see as an Israeli aggression is also something that has happened before. This episode seems to be the last straw in the renewed Iran nuclear talks with US. Those talks were "cut off" on Friday leading into these strikes.
Events like this shed light on the proxy war being played between Israel and Iran, with the United States literally in the middle, occupying regions of Syria & Iraq to this day.

The White House announces that the leader of ISIS has been killed in Syria, just has more troops are headed for Eastern Europe. While the surface narrative over Ukraine is crumbling, the more it looks like all of this is just leverage for negotiations. Biden continues to support the UAE, as the slaughter of Yemen continues, at the same time, is an Iran Deal 2.0 around the corner?

On Friday, President Biden reasserted the American public that US soldiers will not be fighting Russia in Ukraine. When asked about Russia's use of chemical weapons in Ukraine (a question that forces Biden to "red line" his answer), Biden warns of a "severe price" to the Russians, whatever that means.
This speech did not spot the US government from deciding to send $14 billion dollars in aid to Ukraine. This includes:
though $3 billion will go directly to US forces to cover costs of repositioning troops to NATO’s “eastern flank.” At least $7.5 billion will actually go to Kiev’s military, however, with another $3.5 billion devoted to weapons and $4 billion for humanitarian efforts amid a Russian invasion launched in late February.
Talks between Russia and Ukraine haven't made much progress, but headlines are still coming out saying "progress" has been made. On Monday, the news was that we could have a deal in "a few days", however, below the headline both parties say they are not moving on their demands.
The biggest story of this week looks to be a back and forth between the US and China, over US "reports" that China is ready to provide Russia military assistance. This line was plastered on the Sunday mainstream news, the source being "unnamed US officials". Talks between House National Security Adviser Jack Sullivan and China's top foreign policy official Yang Jiechi met in Rome on Monday.
Since then, China seems to be playing up the charges a bit. A lot of bluster from all sides, as the war continues to slide into a proxy-insurgency war much like Syria.

While every important political figure on the continent of Europe is saying a Russian invasion of Ukraine is no where in sight, The United States continues to scream "any day now".

I show the comparision between reality and the narrative coming out of the Washington sphere. Tucker Carlson makes the Russiaphodes go nuts. Thoughts on Yemen War news this week.
