Iran, China, Russia, and a World Growing More Dangerous

Let's start with the subject of Iran.

As you guys know, the US had to hastily withdraw B-1B bombers from Britain after there was a threat of a drone attack from outside the fence.

We had 12 B-1B bombers there and the US pulled all of them back.

with a serious sense of urgency.

In fact, the refueling planes needed to get them back to the United States hadn't even launched.

So it was almost as if they knew that there was a pending attack, perhaps less than hours away.

But they have pulled back.

Now, President Trump says this was no big deal.

He's tried to downplay it.

But the reality is that we've We've moved a serious amount of our firepower out of Britain now, and we've already pulled back from numerous Middle East bases as well, so this isn't... voting well for those who are tallying up the cost of the Iran war and whether we're winning or not.

The president keeps assuring us that the Iranian economy will collapse soon, and there is some news on that that I'll get into that's positive for the administration and for those of us that, you know, hope the Iranian government does collapse.

But the reality is that we have pulled back from Britain.

We have pulled back from numerous bases in the Middle East that were under threat of or risk of destruction from Iranian ballistic missiles and cruise and low-flying missiles.

Many of them were hit, and so we've pulled back from those, and now we've pulled back these bombers from Britain.

But not everything is bad news.

The Wall Street Journal had a story on the front page from about a week ago, this was from September 29th, that said that volume of oil in the Middle East has recovered back to 80% of pre-war levels.

The story goes into some of the details, discussing that Saudi Arabia continues to use a pipeline and other ways to get oil out of the region.

They have, in fact, gotten to the point where they're getting about 13 million barrels a day through the pipeline and through some tankers that are making it through the Strait of Hormuz.

So again, about 80% of what it was before the war, which is certainly great news for both the United States and the entire world economy.

Also, some good news is that the troops that are fighting the Yemen Houthi fighters, who have threatened the other strait in the Red Sea, those government forces backed by Saudi Arabia and probably U.S. intelligence, if I had to guess, have actually started making some advances.

And so government forces are pushing back some of the Houthi fighters that are backed by Iran.

There was quite a bit of intelligence that came out after they took some of their large gains recently that Iranian advisors had helped them successfully in some of those attacks, helped them successfully plan and directed them.

so the war is certainly continuing in the middle east across a number of ranges uh one final thing i want to note about the war is that the currency inside iran is at its all-new low so the iranian economy is certainly under a lot of stress Let's talk now about Russia and these stories that are coming out about what could be some type of plague that's released, or maybe it's not.
