Meanwhile - the BIG game

            “It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.”

             ―   J.R.R. Tolkien 

 

Just a reminder of earlier posts - https://nexttobagend.blogspot.com/2025/06/here-be-dragons.html  and, from 2 years ago -  https://nexttobagend.blogspot.com/2023/07/reality-may-resemble-really-good-fiction.html

 

Now we read this: “There are clear signs that Xi has lost control of the People’s Liberation Army, the most important faction in the Communist Party of China."

This is after one to three covert delivery aircraft flew from PRC to Iran after Israel commenced their attacks.

My greatest fear is that senior PLA Generals, men at the top of the heap in both the PLA and the CCP,  overruled Xi and responded to Iranian pleas to allow the delivery of their already paid for nuclear weapons from North Korea.   Although these (my guess is ~ 10) are likely in the form of tailored warheads for the jointly North Korean/Iranian developed long range ballistic missiles, any number of them could be modified to serve as EMP weapons launched in "scud on a tub" attacks from off the US coasts - or/and smuggled into San Francisco and NYC harbors for a 4th of July ('26) the world will never forget.  NYC for the symbolic and economic impact, SF as a symbol of America's deviancy and for the impact on our AI and other leading edge R+D. Not by coincidence both cities are on target sets in Tehran and Beijing.

That could explain both events in China - Xi's loss of sole power - and Iran  - the Ayatollah's interest in "peace" with the great and the little satans - while he prepares a catastrophic attack, perhaps with some Chinese and North Korean assistance.   

Yes, Trump must prosecute and jail Comey and Brennan, and release ALL the Epstein information, but, we must remember that beyond our shores the game goes on.
