Guest Article: Cassandra
Who is Cassandra?
One of my coffee buyers goes by the handle Cassandra. As you may remember Cassandra was a Trojan princess who had the power of prophecy but is cursed to be unbelievable.!
In any case, Cassandra gave me some prophesies which I thought were interesting. Of course, I don’t agree with everything, If I did, Cassandra’s curse would have lifted, right? Can’t have that.
Read - and enjoy. And discuss in the comments
Cassandra’s Prophecies
Trump and his team have disturbed our geo-political beehive and I can hardly function with all the noise — it is jamming my ability to sense things.
I have a problem with the reactions of many Americans, they react too fast to some things that are not really interesting, to beliefs, prejudices or doubt.
But brings me to my predictions.
1. The negotiations on a 'deal' in Ukraine will not come to a positive conclusion before May 1 (100 days).
I cannot predict what happens then.
Likely nothing--just more wasted time. Russia will start crossing the Dnieper - to Kherson and heading south-center to Zaporizhia. as I suggested to you before
Odessa is an important target for the Monster in the City of London, alive there for about 170 years, intensely so after WW I and even more so since the slow collapse of the USSR.
2. The replacement of the CVN-75 Harry Truman from the (safe) north of the Red Sea means it has to go fast through Bab-al-Mandab to a safe harbor where it can be rearmed—it needs 80 air defense missiles that can only be can be added when the ship is docked. It will be replaced by the CVN-70 Carl Vinson, which sailing from South Korea to the Arabian Sea --15.000 km.-- arriving around May 1 to attack the Houthis, and likely damaged by Houthi Missiles.
Comparing Afghanistan and West Yemen, the terrain is comparable but the Houthis are much stronger and can sink a carrier.
In that case, Trump will try to invade Yemen which will result in the same situation as the Saudi-coalition experienced earlier even with the full support of the US. A war of attrition.
3. Trump will support the Zionists in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, There will be war once again with Hamas and in Lebanon Hezbollah will rise up.
Then Trump will try to punish Iran by sending B52's from Guam with long distance cruise-missiles. Carriers cannot get close enough to their targets,
On the other side, local US bases are easy targets for Iran.
Those B52's will be threatened by the Russian - Chinese - Iranian flotilla on station, which force them into range of Yemen's air defense missiles,
In retaliation, Iran will destroy most of Israel and selected US-bases south of the Gulf.
Selected oil-refineries and oil-pipelines will be attacked by Yemeni missiles.
Trump will ask Iran to NOT block the Strait of Hormuz and cause a worldwide oil-price of 200-300 Dollar a Barrel... Please !?
4. Trump will have to explain AIPAC at home that he did his best, but now peace is the only way to go.
5. If the Zionists threaten to, or actively use a nuke, Russia will threaten to retaliate tit for tat and the Saudi's will suddenly say they have a few nukes too (Pakistani).
But it is difficult to say if this will cause a nuclear Armageddon.

Special Article
In the meantime, the Special Article continues as I look at the conflict between the “West and the Rest”, as I believe Andrew Sheng put it — or what Huntington called “ The Clash of Civilizations”— a term that did not sit well with Western academics who much preferred the neoliberal notion of the “End of History”.
What Putin has done in Russia and Xi in China is reinvent their civilizations, after respective revolutions set in motion by the collapse of the USSR and the Cultural Revolution, resulting in cultural renewal at all levels and in almost every aspect. It is something it is intrinsically threatening to Western countries, which think they belong to one universal civilization.
The rise of Eurasia has sparked a crusade, just as the rise of Islam did in the 11th Century.
As in the 11th Century, this is a conflict full of contradictions — religious war without religion, an ideological war without ideas ro ideals, a moral war without morality, an information war without truth.
Now, approaching 10, 000 words I need to do a lot of editing,
I have asked Dr.Chappy and Dr. Ichi to help, but thy say the are on sabbatical.
Iran will not destroy "most of" Israel. It need only destroy specific military installations in/near Tel Aviv, Haifa port & maybe for good measure, the electric grid. I still remember the iconic video of an Iranian missile flying right over the Knesset.
And it can destroy the US economy by strategic/selective closing of the Strait of Hormuz.
Russia will wait until late in the game to liberate Odessa to minimize destruction of the historic city.
I normally wait until July for best price to fill my heating oil tank. With the latest round of sabre rattling, I called last Tuesday. Instead of normal 2-day, she quoted 2 week delivery. A couple days later, she called back. Happily it gets filled sometime today.
Regarding Cassandra, if the zionist state uses a nuke it will cease to exist and retaliation won't need to be nuclear. The same goes for the US.
What we are seeing is the last gasps of the Anglo-Zionist Empire🇺🇸🇪🇺🇫🇲🇮🇱. It's flailing. We must be careful. Like you said, were dealing with corned rabid rats.
