Is it possible that NATO forces could become directly involved in the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine?
Until recently, such a question seemed very hypothetical given the high risks of escalation of the military confrontation between the US-led bloc and Russia into a large-scale armed conflict. But this scenario should be taken seriously now, writes Ivan Timofeev, programme director of the Valdai Club
“A significant escalation factor that would amplify the risk of a direct clash between Russia and NATO, could be the appearance of military contingents form bloc members on the territory of Ukraine. The prospect of such a scenario has already been mentioned by some Western politicians, although their view has not been supported by the US and isn’t an official NATO position.”
“Each of these scenarios involves a direct clash between Russian and NATO forces. Such a situation would inevitably raise the question of deeper bloc involvement and, in the longer term, the transfer of military conflict to other areas of contact with Russia, including the Baltic region. At this stage, it will be even more difficult to stop the escalation. The more losses both sides suffer, the more the maelstrom of hostilities will grow and the closer they will come to the threshold of using nuclear weapons. And there will be no winners.”

🇮🇷📝 What does a balkanization of Iran mean for the world?
Although many Israeli and American politicians stated that the goal was to regime change Iran, the real intention was to do to Iran what happened in Syria and Iraq, foment uprisings, provoke multiple civil wars because Iran will never be a regional competitor to Israel if its dealing with uprisings and ethnic separatism.
A balkanized Iran or an Iran locked in civil war would transform the country from an occasional source of geopolitical instability to a source of PERMANENT geopolitical instability.
A balkanized Iran would be a huge source of:
🔶 International terrorism
🔶 Supply chain disturbance through its proximity to the Persian Gulf, Caspian Basin and emerging Trans-Caucuses logistics corridors. Terrorist orgs can and will throw loitering munitions at any ship, aircraft or train that is within their reach and will require foreign interventions and troop deployments to counteract these threats.

🌍 The cost of leaching copper oxide ore in the Central African Copperbelt is about to get even more expensive.
In the past few days a number of Middle Eastern Oil refineries have been attacked / closed. In addition, exports through the Strait of Hormuz have ground to a halt.
What has this got to do with leaching copper in one of the world’s largest copper belts ? Sulphur, or more specifically sulphuric acid.
Approximately, 50% of seaborne sulphur is shipped through the Strait of Hormuz.
90% of sulphur imported into Africa is from the Middle East… and therefore passes through the Strait of Hormuz
The central African Copperbelt imports around 2 million tonnes of this sulphur per annum. The sulphur is used in local sulphur burners to convert into sulphuric acid, which is used by mining companies for leaching copper out of copper oxide ores. One part of sulphur makes 3 parts of liquid high-strength sulphuric acid. Therefore, 2.0 million tonnes of sulphur produces approximately 6.0 ...
