🇷🇺⚫️ CIG #commentary | Despite solid evidence that the Islamic State is behind the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack, with ISIS themselves claiming responsibility, Russian news channels and other pro-Russian Western pundits are pushing the narrative that Ukraine and Vladimir Zelensky are the real masterminds.
Vladimir Putin and the Federal Security Service (FSB) are trying to cover up their embarrassing failure which allowed 4 jihadists to torch a concert hall in Moscow and kill over 143 people and then attempt an escape after receiving a heads up from U.S. intelligence three weeks ago about potential ISIS/ISKP activity in Russia. They are trying to spin it up as being the work of the SBU by falsely claiming that the terrorists are either Chechens and are affiliated with the Ajnad-al-Kavkaz group or that they are simply jihadist Tadjiks recruited by Ukraine and fight an irregular war against Russia.
Perhaps after annihilating two ISKP cells in Ingushetia earlier this month, the FSB let its guard down thinking they terminated all threats coming from ISKP but they were wrong. The ISKP remains ISIS' strongest and most prolific franchise with a number of cells in Afghanistan and Pakistan, with links to jihadists in India and likely receiving aid from Pakistani intelligence.
The ISKP has been able to penetrate Iran, bombing the city of Kerman in January 2024, where IRGC general, Qassem Soleimani is buried.
ISIS is on the rise again not just in Central Asia, but also in the Middle East, now that the eyes of the powers who were dealing with ISIS are focused elsewhere, Russia's FSB on Ukrainian sabotage, Iran and the U.S. on events in Gaza and Lebanon. Attacks like the Crocus City Hall will become more common unless the security agencies all over the world take ISIS and its branches seriously.

Speaking at the WEF, Savor CEO Kathleen Alexander boasts about how her company is "saving the planet" from the evils of agriculture by replacing real butters and oils with synthetic versions made from carbon dioxide and methane. 😳
"Savor is part of bringing transformation to the food system by re-imagining how we make an entire macronutrient—fats and oils."
"The result is that we can dramatically lower the planetary footprint of our food system."
"Our food system today uses about 50% of the habitable land on the planet. It's 20-30% of our greenhouse gas emissions."
"And we can reduce all of those by 50-100%."

🇮🇷🏆🇺🇸 Iran Is a Bigger Defeat Than Vietnam | Foreign Policy
At his second inaugural, U.S. President Donald Trump pronounced his hope “that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.” By losing his Gulf war, Trump has achieved that goal. His choice to launch a campaign against Iran was encouraged by others, but fully his own. It has led to a reversal that marks a strategic calamity far greater than the U.S. defeat in the Vietnam War.
Defeat in the Iranian war looks, on the surface, nothing like other U.S. military defeats. The speed of the war and its remoteness have lent an air of unreality to the whole endeavor. The White House has not been burned, as it was in 1814; there have not been protests against a nonexistent draft. The absence of substantial U.S. casualties in this conflict also masks the scale of the U.S. defeat. To be sure, the war has been deadly: Thousands of Iranians, ...
According to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump reviewed military options for a full-scale war against Iran to “finish the job,” but has decided, for now, not to move forward.
The report says Trump is concerned that renewed military conflict could hurt the chances of a diplomatic resolution and of dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, and that he’s shown willingness to let indirect talks in Qatar run past the August 18 deadline. He is said to be fine with continuing limited strikes on Iranian targets if Tehran violates the current temporary deal - as it already has, repeatedly.
How are those negotiations going?
Not well. It seems JD Vance’s “historic” face-to-face achievement was a one-off. Washington has been quietly downgraded from talking to the Great Satan to negotiating with the Little Satan instead - a senior Qatari official confirmed that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Qatari officials in Doha, but there are currently no high-level U.S.-Iran meetings ...
