Iran's Decentralized Mosaic Defense – the official denomination – keeps being tweaked 24/7: that's the IRGC's long-term strategy of a death by a thousand cuts designed to bleed the Empire of Chaos dry.

Let's wade through the interconnected canals permeating the unconstitutional, unwinnable, strategically catastrophic Empire of Chaos-built swamp.

Iran's mosaic resilience and long-term strategy; the temptation for that ghastly death cult in West Asia to go nuclear; the approaching, inexorable Interceptor Hell; China's relentless drive to ditch the old order (hoarding gold, dumping dollars); the BRICS's progress in creating a parallel financial system; the collapse of American vassals, in several latitudes: all that is accelerating a radical system reset.

And then, there's Vladimir Putin, just casually, almost like an afterthought, annoncing there may not be any Russian gas to be sold to the EU after all:

"Maybe it would make more sense for us to stop supplying gas to the EU ourselves and move to those new markets, and establish ourselves there (…) Again, I want to stress: there's no political motive here. But if they're going to close the market to us in a month or two anyway, maybe it's better to leave now and focus on countries that are reliable partners. That said, this isn't a decision. I'm just thinking out loud. I'll ask the government to look into it together with our companies."

The pitiful Bratwurst Chancellor asked permission from neo-Caligula for Germany to buy Russian oil. He got it. But there may be nothing to buy. This is an energy war, and the EU once again does not even qualify as a homeless beggar. No Qatar gas, no Russian oil and gas. Now go back to your NATO-obsessed Forever War.

The bombing of the GCC-petrodollar pipeline

Immediately after the decapitation strike last Saturday on Supreme Leader Ayatollah Kahamenei, Iran switched to decentralised command and control and cells with a 4-level deep succession plan, launching relentless volleys of older, slower missiles and sacrificial drones to consume Patriot batteries and THAAD systems in industrial scale. With that move, Iran changed the rules of the game alread on Day One of the war.

Anyone with and IQ over room temperature knows that to use 3 Patriots – $9.6 million combined cost – to defend against a single Iranian sacrificial ballistic missile is completely unsustainable.

So it's no wonder that it took only 4 days of the war of the Epstein Syndicate on Iran for the global financial system to go completely bonkers. $3.2 trillion evaporated in a matter of 4 days – and counting.

The Strait of Hormuz for all practical purposes is closed – except for Russian and Chinese vessels. At least 20% of global oil needs are not moving anywhere. Qatar's entire LNG production is off line – with no resumption in sight. Iraq's 2nd larget oil field has been shut down.
