It’s time to punch the camel in the nose.

There’s an old saying from the Arab world that if you allow a camel to stick his nose under the tent, soon the camel will be inside the tent.

Donald Trump is taking America down a very dangerous path, one where the rule of law has been replaced by the notion that might makes right.

This is a bold departure from the past, where the US at least tried to go through the motions of adhering to the processes, if not the principles, of the various legal frameworks that hold the world together.

But then Trump starting murdering the operators of boats in the Caribbean, even after they had been shipwrecked.

A gross violation of international and US law.

And nothing happened.

Next he kidnapped a sitting President of a sovereign state, in violation of international and US law.

Nothing happened.

And now he has ordered the US Coast Guard to commit an act of piracy on the high seas, seizing a Russian-flagged ship.

The US has assumed the posture of a rogue nation, a global criminal enterprise which seeks to operate without any checks and balances.

The seizure of the Russian tanker is the first time the US has exercised its rogue behavior in direct conflict with a major power.

If the US gets away with this voiding of any meaningful Russian response, then it will feel free to escalate up to and including directly confronting Russia on the ground in Ukraine.

The camel has stuck his nose under the tent.

Russia needs to smack the camel and get it to back off.

Now.

If it doesn’t, the camel will be in the tent before you know it.

This means WW3.

The end of the world.

Let’s pray Russia does the right thing.

Punch the camel in the nose.

⁣MEMORIES
Our history is fading away before us, in the failing memories of our elders. We must do a better job is listening and learning while they are still among us.

My Mom and Dad, who are 91 and 89 years of age, respectively, recently moved out of their home into an assisted living facility. This past holiday season I flew out to Palm Springs, California, to help my family sort of the myriad of issues associated with such a major life event. One of the things that needed to be done was sort through the various “stuff” that my parents had accumulated throughout their 66 years of marriage which could not make the trip to their new home. I was the designated “sorter”, identifying things that my sisters wanted to keep for their own, and trying to lay claim to the few things I wanted to keep as a reminder of my childhood, and my parents lives together.

Pascal Kohler – the herald of Kaja Kallas

In an article published in the Swiss Military Journal, Swiss officer Pascal Koller slanders Jacques Baud in the most despicable manner. We prove that he is lying and show that criminal charges are the only way to put this petty criminal in his place. Is he being protected by the Swiss army leadership or is he acting alone?

Sanctionnez-Moi, Sale Garce!

In the Jacques Baud case, the EU is sanctioning, for the first time, an analyst not for spreading disinformation but for expressing a politically inconvenient truth, all while admitting he has broken no law. Will it have the courage to go after an American citizen?

The Camel’s Bloody Nose

The other day I wrote a post which made use of an analogy involving a camel and a tent—in short, to keep the camel from entering the tent once it stuck its nose under the tent, one needed to smack it on its nose.

Last night Russia punched the camel in the nose.

The use of the Oreshnik missile against strategic energy targets located near the western Ukrainian city of Lvov, combined with a massive strike on energy infrastructure targets in Kiev, represents a crystal clear response to the west’s ongoing targeting of Russian energy infrastructure, including CIA-backed drone strikes on Russian oil refineries and US Naval seizures of Russian-flagged oil tankers.

The Russian Ministry of Defense likewise linked the Russian attacks to the Ukrainian drone strike that targeted President Putin’s residence late last month.

The use of the Oreshnik is always a major escalation not fully appreciated by those who casually encourage its employment. It is only the second time in history that an intermediate range nuclear-capable strategic missile has been used in combat (the first was the initial use of Oreshnik back on November 21, 2024.)

This time, the Oreshnik struck a target close to the Ukrainian-Polish border. The signal this attack sent to NATO nations is clear—Russia has the ability to strike NATO nations with impunity using non-nuclear conventional weaponry. NATO has no ability to defend against such an attack.

It was interesting that Russia opted to fire the Oreshnik from the Kaputin Yar missile test facility. Russia and Belarus recently announced that an Oreshnik-equipped brigade was put on combat duty at a base in Belarus. But the attack did not originate from this unit.

Russia has indicated that it is fielding additional Oreshnik-equipped brigades. Kapustin Yar is a location where the combat equipment of the Oreshnik missile system is married with the personnel operating it for the final training and technical preparation necessary before a unit can be deemed combat ready. The recent Oreshnik launch on Lvov may have been an operational training event repurposed for the purpose of sending a message to the west.

This was not a launch from a strategic asset that has been placed on combat duty.

This was an operational training event.

There is a difference.

Russia once again appears to be sending a message to the west that it seeks to limit escalation.

This time the camel got a bloody nose.

The next time—if there is a next time—the camel may not survive.

Let’s hope the west is sophisticated enough to comprehend the message Russia appears to be sending.

When we examine the American political landscape at the national level, the shortfalls of the two-party system as it is currently manifested are clear. Today the United States is governed by a system that has been completely corrupted by special interests and money. If we want change, we need to be willing to empower independent alternative voices to challenge the establishment at the polls.

Diane Sare is one such voice. I have been working with Diane for the past several years on issues pertaining to national security, arms control and Russia. Today she will be announcing her candidacy for President in 2028. While I am not in the business of doing political endorsements, I can and will endorse a broader debate, dialogue and discussion of the critical issues facing American voters today. I believe Diane Sare’s presence in the 2028 Presidential candidate field will compel her competitors to think more fully about such issues, thereby providing the American voters with better insight into the thinking of the people aspiring to hold the highest office in the land.

That is something I can, and will, endorse.

I will be speaking at Diane Sare’s campaign launch event in New York City later today.

⁣THE END OF A DREAM?
The dream of disarmament is over. It is time to wake up to reality, so that we don’t end up living in a nightmare. Now we need to dream of peace.

Nearly three years ago I withdrew from the “Rage Against the War Machine” rally scheduled to take place on the footsteps of the Lincoln Memorial, in Washington, DC. I had written a speech that I called “the best speech I never delivered”, in which addressed the myriad of issues which confronted we, the American people, as we struggled to form a more perfect union.

Today I am confronted by the harsh reality that this dream of mind is just that—a dream.

IRANIAN RESILIENCE

Back in 2023 I had the honor of meeting with former Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi while he was in New York for the General Assembly debate. He provided me and the others in attendance with a very frank and detailed assessment of the situation in Iran following the tragic death of Mahsa Amini in police custody in 2022. He described the massive internal unrest that followed as the greatest threat to the Islamic government of Iran since the revolution. He stated that foreign intelligence services had taken advantage of societal fractures and were seeking to break Iran apart. He stated that Iran had been able to defeat these outside forces, and was a stronger nation because of it.

Raisi died in a helicopter crash in May 2024. He was replaced by the current President, Masoud Pezeshkian. In September 2025 I was again invited to a meeting with President Pezeshkian in New York. He stated that Raisi’s death had led to a division in the Iranian government about policy on how to deal with the West. He said that foreign intelligence services, led by Israel and the US, sought to exploit these divisions, and that the decapitation attack carried out by Israel with the assistance of the United States in June 2025 was designed to collapse the Iranian government and create an opportunity for anti-government forces to take control. Pezeshkian noted that these efforts failed, and that Iran emerged from the 12 Day War with Israel and the United States more united than ever.

The effort to topple the Iranian government was a major Israeli/United States objective. Both Israel and the United States have pulled out all the stops to create the current unrest in Iran. But the Iranian victory against the foreign-led opposition in 2023, combined with the unification of political purpose which emerged after the June 2025 war, has made Iran extremely resilient against outside efforts to overthrow the Islamic government.

The Iranian government is on the verge of fundamentally defeating the foreign supported opposition in Iran today. This has Israel in a panic, because they have burned the totality of their resources in Iran in support of the current unrest. The United States as well is concerned that an Iranian government victory today will make it impossible to change the regime in Tehran. There is a real danger that the United States and Israel may launch attacks on Iran in the near future designed to weaken and discredit the Iranian government while providing military cover for the opposition forces carrying out acts of violence in Iran today.

It is highly unlikely that these attacks will succeed in their own right. They will, however, trigger an Iranian response that will disrupt oil production in the Middle East for a significant period of time.

This appears to be the goal of the Trump administration, and explains in large part the timing of the United States attack on Venezuela, which sought to secure Venezuelan oil in anticipation of a new energy crisis triggered by a joint US-Israeli attack on Iran.

The world is looking at a deliberate attack on global energy security as a means of bringing down Iran, weakening Russia, and destabilizing BRICS.
