       Saturday morning #headlines recap Ansarallah completed its sweep of Yemen's entire Red Sea coastline and now holds both sides of Bab el-Mandeb. The entire operation happened in approximately 18 hours. Saudi Arabia shut down the East-West pipeline after drone strikes gutted two pump stations, thereby removing the last major Hormuz bypass.Red Sea navigation declared safe for all shipping except Saudi vessels, under a stated "siege for a siege" equation. Houthi gains leave MBS with few good options: escalate a campaign that has failed for years, or accept rebel leverage over a route that has become more important to Saudi exports. Pleas for help from MBS to US and Pakistan were rebuffed. Saudi output context: Riyadh told OPEC August crude collapsed 1.9mn bpd to 6.238mn bpd, lowest since 1990. Saudi plus Russia together pumped ~5.5mn bpd less than January. White House is weighing Defense Production Act authority to expand US refining capacity. This would have been great news 30 years ago. A six-member Gulf bloc is considering meeting Iranian officials next week. Tehran's opening position is that talks are useless unless Washington accepts all of Iran's demands. Naval picture: Iran resumed anti-ship missile launches toward a US carrier and escorts; WSJ-sourced reporting says recent attacks failed but came very close, with concern that Chinese imagery may help Iran track US naval forces. Some outlets are still reporting that US ships have been hit and CENTCOM is hiding it. While Trump says he'd do Iran again exactly the same way leaks are working to distance a "skeptical" JD Vance from the war. Somali piracy, previously contained, has resurged since the Iran war. You can always count on low-IQ apes to make a bad situation worse. Financial analysts now see a base case of four hikes by July 2027 - against four cuts priced for the same window at the start of 2026, a 200bp swing in nine months. Financial predictions have all the accuracy of soothsayers reading animal entrails, but this is quite a flip-flop. Nvidia in talks to invest up to $10bn in an Anthropic IPO. The circle-jerk continues… Russia continues to advance on every front while jet drones struck a fifth Kiev gas station in a single day. 161 drones destroyed a 30,000+ m² logistics hub in Dnipro plus warehouses in Kiev and Hostomel. Those Wildberries attacks by Ukraine are looking pretty foolish about now…Putin: deploying European troops to Ukraine "would mean war with Russia". Medvedev told Lithuania that Article 5 would not save it if it hosts nuclear weapons. Interesting to ponder if the Chinese and North Koreans would come to Russia’s aid if things go hot. Hillary Clinton suggests October 7 was an inside job and says Netanyahu used it to enhance his political position. Posted simply for the lulz. Summer days are fading fast, get out there and enjoy it while you can…

       Shit goes back to 1776. I do not think this country has had 50 accumulative years without some war or military conflict in 250 yr history.
