If I may make a suggestion: since this is an automated feed using an LLM, perhaps relying less on Shanaka might make sense given that nearly all his content is LLM generated.
True, but he has a LOT of nice tidbits that I did not find elsewhere. I know his LLM is exaggerating a lot, but he has a lot of good stuff too... So I'm leaning to still include it. But maybe I should mention in the prompt to give this less weight.
That "uranium raid theory" makes more sense than anything else I've read about that debacle. I guess Trump didn't learn from Jimmy Carter - remember "Operation Eagle Claw?" That big force was understandable, as there were a large number of hostages to extract. The rescue force for one downed airman makes no sense. The F-15 rescue did make a convenient cover story. Hard to believe there weren't casualties from that mess.
▪️Is that the same Uranium Trump said he destroyed in June 25 using those Stealth Bombers? 😭
▪️Oh and you can bet the Iranians are a dumb as Americans and left it on the shelf ready to be collected.
▪️The USA lost 6 aircraft worth over half a Billion Dollars and who knows how many more men died rescuing one man. no one knows as the USA lying machine has gone into overdrive.
▪️Trump will announce they had 3 gay children born during the operation.
▪️2 of the Black Hawk choppers were shot down by an Iranian Nomad using his AK 47. Based or what?
▪️ its all but confirmed; the Iranians have got the best Russian and Chinese satellite intel that is light years above the USA kit. And who is shooting down these USA planes? Using whose weapons? eek.
""satellite intel that is light years above the USA kit"" >> never underestimate either side. That'll only lead to ruin and destitution. (unless you're talking about politicians - then always OVERestimate).
Hello.. China uses its own version of GPS. Apparently…the Chinese kit is very good.
In fact I wrote here last week “dont underestimate the USA”. It’s a wrecking machine.
China has almost certainly poured gear into Iran and continues to do so. Russia the same.
Doomberg has produced a good piece today. Meanwhile Capital Wars who track global liquidity say that has more downside that the effect of the Straits of Hormuz closure! It all seems to be going tits-up simultaneously.
The worst off is the EU and the UK. At least we have David Lammey.
Do you ever listen to Andrew Macguire? He’s the Kiddy.
Oh yes. Further to my outburst of truth based years of listening to Americans - (that called EVIDENCE). Plus I was partly educated in American Schools…just yesterday A Senator blasted Trump for “creating Strait of Hormuz debacle”.
"The Strait of Hormuz was open before the war was unleashed against Iran - we are now seeking to solve a problem that we created," Senator Chris Murphy fumed.
A nonsensical argument. What a prick. He went on…
💬 “Two billion dollars is a lot of money. That's the minimum amount of money that is being spent every single day on this war. There are over a dozen American families who are burying their loved ones in the United States, and there may be dozens more if this war continues.”
A dozen American Families. They are the families of US ARMY EMPLOYEES WHO ARE PAID TO BOMB GIRLS SCHOOLS IN IRAN….YES..THOSE
Completely disconnected from the reality of the USA and Isreal bombing Iran that has killed thousands of civilians as well as assassinating their the Shia Religious leader.
The impact of the Hormuz conflict on the region is big and this cannot end well. Cairo, Egypt suffers daily blackout after 9 pm, due to scarcity of electricity (that comes from oil). Friends from Iran report on drastic deterioration of prison conditions for political prisoners, see bottom of the post.

I'm not automated. I can't keep up with the Red Queen, but we are reading the same stuff.
I'm gunna miss these days when I can buy cheese from France and wine from Chile and rice from Thailand, from like anywhere I go...
Cheap energy was a blast
I'm gonna miss indoor plumbing
So are the sailors on the Ford or the astronauts on the Artemis II 🤣
FYI, the Orion crew capsule has a new-fangled (private) toilet. Hopefully, it's performing better than the Ford's toilets! Oops! Maybe not ... https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-04-05/on-nasa-s-moon-mission-the-biggest-headache-has-been-the-toilet
Rescued pilot = "The $600 million-dollar-man"
We can rebuild him. We have the technology.

I'm guessing that uranium is already in Russia for safe keeping.

It is wise for Russia and China to attrit American munitions and hardware in Iran for as long as possible.
Their enemy is currently "defeating himself", as per Sun Tzu.

CASE CLOSED.
News flash! Trumpf doesn't learn anything - dumb and ignorant as a fence-post.
Rumor is that all the airplane losses were not from pilot rescue mission but instead failed SF mission to remove Iran's uranium

oh dammit, i should have read further before posting, i see you already covered that.

"German men aged 17-45 now require army approval for trips abroad lasting over 3 months."
That will go over like a lead zeppelin.
"Bank of France pulled remaining gold from the US."
It's déjà vu all over again:)
Excellent content as always, NO1! I wrote down my recurring brain bubbles about the oil problems in my Sunday hideous screed yesterday, here: https://kingcambo812.substack.com/p/the-diesel-apocalypse-a-gonzo-field
Be well,

An interesting read - looks like solid analysis and reasonable speculation to me:
