British Troops To Be Sacrificed In Ukraine?

They are going nuts over the war in Ukraine. Alexander Mercouris says there are rumours that the British will send troops to fight in Ukraine.  The British did say they are ready to send troops AFTER a ceasefire is declared. 

The UK Ministry of Defence announced in July 2026 that the force is ready to deploy once hostilities end, and that exercises are being conducted to prepare for that eventuality.

Playing safe, like the 14 British Challenger tanks. They stayed away from combat but got destroyed anyway. 

Did you know that the British Army has about 20,000–30,000 deployable troops. 

• 2 armoured/mechanised brigades,
• 1 reconnaissance/strike brigade,
• divisional artillery, engineers, air defence

This is less than ONE THIRD the 90,000 seating capacity of Wembley Stadium. And these folks want to fight the Russians who have a TWO million strong, combat proven Army, having fought for almost FIVE years in Ukraine.

Drone warfare has not helped Ukraine much - simply because you cannot destroy a country the size of Russia which covers 1/8 of the world's surface area and covers EIGHT time zones - by using drones that carry 75 kg of explosives. And only 1% of Ukrainian drones reach their targets. For every drone strike about 99 other drones get shot down. 

A string of Defense Ministers and Army Chiefs have also been fired. 

Defense Ministers fired:

• Sept 2023: Reznikov fired → Umerov hired
• July 2025: Umerov fired → Shmyhal hired
• January 2026: Shmyhal fired → Fedorov hired
• July 2026: Fedorov fired → Khmara acting

 Army Chiefs have also been fired

• Gen Zaluzhnyi fired: 8 February 2024
• → Replaced by Gen Syrskyi
• Syrskyi fired: 21 July 2026
• → Replaced by Brigadier Drapatyi

When Army Chiefs and Defense Ministers are fired in rapid succession it means they dont know what they are doing. 

The war in Ukraine is coming to some conclusion - in Russia's favour and on the battlefield. Kharkiv and Sumy will most likely fall before the year end. The ports of Odessa are completely cut off and there are no ship movements in and out of Odessa. Ukraine is now landlocked. They have no access to the Black Sea.

The Russians are really ramping up their operations in Ukraine. The Russian FAB bombs (gravity bombs with guidance kits attached) are creating havoc on the frontlines. Russia has dropped over 8,000 of these FAB bombs which caused massive destruction on the ground.

Ok here is the hilarious part. The jokes.

Zelenskiyy just concluded his failed 40 day operation to 'force Russia to its knees'. Well Odessa is cut off while Sumy and Kharkiv are about to fall. 

Here is  a joke - the EU now want to force a ceasefire on Russia. Upon their terms. Again the losing side wants to impose a ceasefire on the winning side. That is just not going to happen. The EU is now divided and split on the Ukraine war. About half of them want to make a separate peace with Russia.  

In the meantime TWO MILLION Ukrainians have died - as a result of this British war against Russia and Germany. The real target is Germany. 

Vladimir Putin and Russia will go down in history as master strategists in planning and executing this war to defeat multiple opponents. 

1. The Nazis in Ukraine have been defeated. (By the way the Nazi Azov Battalion has just been disbanded - so they say).

2. NATO has been completely humiliated. NATO weapons have proven to be of substandard quality. Russia completely dominates the skies over Ukraine and the famed Patriot air defense systems have been destroyed by Russian strikes.  

3. The EU has been defeated and they too are now split over Russia, the sanctions and the Ukraine war.

The Russian war strategy has been to destroy warmaking capacity first. Not to take territory.   In other words when Russian troops charge up a hill they do not wish to take the hill. They seek and destroy Ukraine troops and equipment and then withdraw.  This strategy has worked extremely well. NATO, EU and Ukraine's capacity to sustain this war in terms of manpower, weapons and equipment, money and funding have all been seriously curtailed. 

Plus the Russians have indeed captured huge parts of Ukraine - but at a slow and grinding pace. Mr Putin's ultimate target (apart from security guarantees over Ukraine) is the restoration of full and complete economic, trade and social ties with the West. All sanctions must be lifted, all frozen assets must be unfrozen, all air links re-established. Russia has full access to SWIFT (though they do not need it anymore), all arrest warrants issued by the foolish ICC must be abolished. Everything must return to normal. Then Russia will cede some of the vast territory it has captured. 

Ukraine former army chief General Zaluzhny who is now the Ukraine ambassador to the UK has been criticising president Zelenskiyy over the war. Zaluzhny says there is absolutely no need for Ukraine to join NATO - the No 1 sticking point with the Russians. Zaluzhny correctly says that NATO's shelf life has ended. Ten years from now NATO may not exist.

NATO has failed to protect Ukraine in this war. Ukraine has lost over TWO MILLION dead, its airforce has been destroyed and its army has been wiped out. Russia holds about a third (or more) of its territory. Vast areas of Ukraine have been destroyed. Parts of the capital city Kiev are a wasteland. NATO's weapons are simply no match for the Russian weapons. Zaluzhny says it will take 12 years for NATO to catch up with Russia. So why the hell should Ukraine join NATO - asks Zaluzhny. 

There will be a conclusion to all this soon.  Mr Putin has achieved his military objectives. Next he will achieve his political objectives.

GOOD NEWS AROUND THE WORLD: OIL PRICE CRASHES TO US$75, GOLD PRICE CRASHES, DOW JONES GOES ABOVE 54,000!!

 

Yesterday the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed above 54,000 for the first time in its history. Market is up. All is good in the real world. Oil prices also crashed again -  they hit US75.33 per barrel.

The best news is old news. Gold prices have been crashing for the past six months. See the chart below. Gold hit almost US$4000 per ounce yesterday - from a super high of around US5,300 around March 2026.

Of all the price indicators for the good health of the world economy the price of gold says plenty of things. Gold is the ultimate capture of real value in this entire world. And gold always precedes most other price movements. When gold goes up, the prices of most other things go up. When gold goes down the prices of most other things also goes down.

As you can see the price of gold began going down SIX MONTHS ago. Gold captures flight capital or worried money. When conditions around the world are uncertain, people buy gold. Gold is deemed less risky, more secure. But when things look good around the world, people will take more risks. Start new businesses etc. For which they must sell gold. And buy equity (buy shares lah). So during good times, gold prices should drop and share prices and equity prices should move up. 

JOHOR POLLS WIPEOUT (DWI BAHASA, ENGLISH AND MALAY)

Mula sekali terima kasih dan tahniah kepada pengundi Johor yang telah tendang keluar penipu dan otak lembu Pakatan Harapan. 

Lets analyse the results. Lets do the easy ones first. In 2022 the PH won only 11 seats in Johor. DAP won 10 and PKR won 1 seat. Yesterday the PH was wiped out - the DAP won only 6 seats and PKR kept its single seat. (Did Amanah win 1 seat?).

I see a split in the vote. UMNO won big - they won 36 out of the 37 State seats they contested or 97% because of local Johor sentiment.  I dont think UMNO can repeat this outside Johor.  Lets see what happens in Negeri Sembilan. 

The PH on the other hand got wiped out because of national sentiment.  People do not like them for all their rubbish and bullshit in Putrajaya. The same sentiment that got them kicked out in Sabah.

PKR - PKR contested 20 seats but only won 1 seat. Or 5% of the grade. Total failure. This party is now officially dead. All the good people including Wan Azizah Wan Ismail have left the scene. Only the idiots remain.

DAP - DAP got kicked out 8-0 in Sabah. Complete shutout. Before that the PH got their asses kicked in the SIX state elections. Now they got kicked out again in Johor. They contested 16 seats and won only 6 seats or 35% of the marks. That is a FAIL grade - below 50%. This is the THIRD TIME they got kicked out. Believe me the PH are going to get kicked out in the General Elections. 

This is the SECOND TIME the DAP has screwed up. They made it into the Federal gomen in 2018. But they screwed up big time. Then they got their second chance in 2022. Tell me, how many political parties get a second chance in under FOUR years to form the Federal gomen? But they have screwed up again. I must say the Chinese politicians and their supporters are only good at talking big. And of course helping the property developers. Developers Action Party or DAP. As a political movement to move an entire society forward they fail. To put it mildly these folks are quite stupid.  There is no need to say much else about this bunch of idiots. 

PARTY              WON VS CONTESTED             %

UMNO                       36 of 37                            97%

MCA                            8 of 15                            53%

MIC                              4 of 4                             100%

PKR                             1 of 20                            5%

DAP                             6 of 17                            35%

PAS                              0 of 11

BERSATU                    0 of 16

BERSAMA                   0 of 15

MUDA                          0 of 4

Notes:   BN fielded 37 UMNO, 15 MCA and 4 MIC candidates, covering all 56 seats.
PH allocated its seats as 20 PKR, 19 Amanah and 17 DAP.
PN's allocation was 22 Bersatu and 12 PAS.
PAS, Bersatu and Bersama failed to win any seats.

Bersatu got totally wiped out. They contested 16 seats and lost all. This is the result of Bersatu splitting and throwing out Hamzah Zainuddin from the party. Hamzah has substantial support and ability. It was a mistake for Bersatu to have thrown him out. Tan Sri Muhyiddin should just quit from leading the party but its too late now. There is no one capable to take over the party. Plus in Malaysia party leaders simply do not quit their party posts even when they get kicked out by the voters. (Except for Najib in 2018).

Bersama - Rafizi Ramli's first outing in Johor was a disaster. They contested 15 seats and won 0. Rafizi does not fully understand the right 'formuler'.  Rafizi's economic ideas (that nasi lemak machine, his retail business program) are nightmares. The guy does not quite understand business or economics. In Johor they fielded candidates who 'applied for the job'  online. This was a first - and disastrous. 

Here is the formuler : the party must develop a solid national agenda. That shall be its national identity. All Malaysians should be made aware of the party's national agenda. Even in State elections. But down at the State level, you always pick candidates from the State level. They must know the local terrain and the local people must know them. You cannot pick candidates from Online applications. 

But what is Bersama's national agenda? Well even if they have one - they got kicked out 15 - 0. And please stop talking big. Tak ada apa pun cakap besar pasal apa? Friday podcasts for three hours?? Even the unemployed jobless guys do not have three hours to listen to you lah. Formuler tak betul. Where is your agenda for the people?  Abolish the tolls, abolish the Sedition Act, abolish the APs, get rid of the gila babi import duties and taxes on motor vehicles. Liberalise the banking industry fully. 100%. Abolish that rice import monopoly. Abolish all monopolies and oligopolies. Can or cannot? Please answer yes or no.

Muda - They won one seat. Youth does not sell well. In the United States of America the most liberal and perhaps most egalitarian society in the world it is rare for youth to get elected. Even in super liberal California, even the youngest voters respect experience, achievement and solid platforms. This means older candidates. Generally a 50 or even 60 year old with a good track record, experience and knowledge stands a better chance than a novice 25 year old. There are exceptions but maturity and experience are extremely important. In Malaysia the age factor in candidates is even more important. The voters want to see experienced and generally older candidates. If they are well educated all the better. It is difficult to go against this trend.

PAS : PAS bertanding 11 kerusi dan kalah semua. Kepada sahabat di PAS,  sila ambil maklum. Semua orang sudah tahu cara nak sembahyang lima waktu, cara nak ambil air sembahyang, cara naik haji. Pada zaman sekarang anak-anak kita berumur 17 tahun boleh tahu hukum-hakam naik haji secara detail. Ramai pula pernah berkursus mengurus jenazah sekali. 

PAS mula ditubuhkan pada 1951 dulu (apabila keluar dari UMNO). 

23 August 1951 – Persatuan Ulama Se-Malaya 

24 November 1951 – Persatuan Islam Se-Malaya (PAS). 

1972 - Parti Islam Se-Malaysia (PAS).

Zaman itu masjid sikit saja, sekolah agama, kolej dan universiti Islam tak ada atau paling sikit. TV Hijrah tak ada. Di sekolah kebangsaan pun tak ada kelas agama. Jadi bila PAS mula perjuangkan agama pada tahun 1950an maka ada juga orang kampong tertarik. PAS jadi parti orang kampong. Ini bukan sindiran tapi realiti yang mempunyai kesan yang sangat besar yang PAS harus faham.  

Sekarang keadaan sudah berubah. Hari ini pula setiap anak Melayu pelajari pendidikan agama mula dari tadika sampai ke universiti. Pengajian agama di peringkat sekolah menengah saja (SPM) sudah hampiri diploma di negara lain.  Sekarang agama sudah menjadi industri skala besar. Agama sudah jadi bisnes.  Artis jual agama (lagu dan musik). Perbankan Islam jual agama. Sijil halal, makanan halal semua adalah bisnes yang lumayan. Ustaz glamour kaya melalui podcast, YouTube, ceramah agama dsbnya. Ustaz kepala umrah, rombongan haji semuanya kaya. Lepas tu gerombolan Salafi (dulu Wahabi) bertembung dengan golongan Asam Jawa. Hari-hari makin gaduh.  

Maksudnya agama sudah tidak lagi exclusive kepada perjuangan PAS. Dari stesen bas sampai ke stesen angkasa lepas (angkasawan Malaysia) orang Melayu boleh jumpa agama.  And then kampong pula makin kurang penghuninya.  Ramai generasi muda sudah berhijrah ke kawasan bandar.  Lebih 70% penduduk negara kita sekarang dianggap urban population. Orang bandar. Orang bandar menghadapi masalah yang berbeza daripada orang kampong. Peluang pekerjaan, sekolah yang elok, perumahan yang mampu dibeli atau di sewa, kos sara hidup yang tinggi, harga minyak, kualiti hospital (dibiayai dengan dana awam), sistem pengangkutan, harga kereta mahal, bayaran tol dan pelbagai lagi cabaran hidup di bandar. 

Jadi dalam realiti seperti ini di mana pula peranan PAS untuk membantu masyarakat kita? Hudud dah tak ada dah. Itu bagus. RUU355 pun entah ke mana. Bagus juga.  Lepas itu pengundi Islam di seluruh negara kurang daripada 60%. Baki penduduk negara adalah bukan Islam. Cina, India, Dayak, Dusun itu berbelas juta orang. Takkan PAS tidak mahu berurusan dengan bukan Islam? Atau tidak tahu? Ahli Parlimen itu wakil rakyat. Bukan wakil agama. 

Jadi apa pula perjuangan PAS pada abad ke 21 ini? Ini adalah tahun 2026. Bukan 1951. Semua orang sudah tahu sembahyang. Bebudak umur 17 tahun pun boleh belajar urus jenazah. Orang Melayu dah tak heran dengan perjuangan PAS. PAS perlu overhaul dengan serius.

MUST READ. ORANG MELAYU MESTI BACA. OIL INDUSTRY WILL CRASH PERMANENTLY IN 10 YEARS MAX. HERE IS WHY.

 

Here is the oil price chart (West Texas) for the past 30 days.

Despite all the ongoing Hormuz bullshit, in the past 30 days West Texas crude has gone from US$90 per barrel down to US$68 per barrel to yesterday's US$71 per barrel. These prices are relatively low.  Oil is not likely to hit US$100 - maybe never.

In 2024 Saudi Arabia cancelled capacity expansion to 13 million barrels per day.
1 million bpd of future capacity was cancelled.   Saudi's present capacity ≈ 12 million bpd.  But actual production ≈ 9 million bpd.  Shortfall ≈ 3 million bpd

• World oil supply is now about 105 million bpd. 
• World oil demand is just below 104 million bpd.  
• Despite the ayatollah monkeys, world oil supply exceeds demand. 
• China consumes 16 million bpd of oil (about 15%). This is disappearing.
• Please take note.

But here is the real threat on the horizon. It is called Thorium Molten Salt Reactor (TMSR) and it is Made in China.  It does not need cooling water, no danger of Fukushima or Chernobyl accidents, it can be built small and modular (possibly in 12-18 months by the Chinese)  and it runs on super abundant thorium - which is a waste product from many mining operations. China has enough Thorium to last them 20,000 years or more.

Here are two videos you must watch. Maximum 15 minutes. You can double the speed on YouTube.

The Chinese are planning to build ultra large container ships powered by thorium molten salt reactors.

• Thorium molten salt reactor (TMSR) powered container ships
• Producing roughly 50 MW electrical power
• Extraordinary endurance - decades without conventional refuelling
• Ship size:   about 230,000–250,000 tonnes carrying 24,000 containers  

It will be the end of bunker fuel for Chinese container ships. And 250,000 tonne giants will lower transport costs from the Port of Shanghai to Los Angeles. Pinduoduo will give 50% discounts.

The Chinese already have a prototype TMSR up and running since 2023. It is rated at 2MW thermal and is located in Gansu in the Gobi Desert. See picture.

 No ventilation chimneys, no cooling towers, no cooling ponds. No need for water.

They are already planning a 10 MW or larger TMSR plant by 2030 - only FOUR years away.  I estimate that in another six years after that (2036) the Chinese will have these TMSR plants popping up all over China.  

Now here comes the scary part.  Below here is the projection for Chinese consumption of fossil fuels over the next FIVE years. I have shown this chart not too long ago. Even without TMSR reactors, Chinese oil consumption is already slowing down. The chart shows that from 2027 - 28 onwards Chinese consumption of fossil fuels will start decreasing. China has invested heavily in solar energy, wind energy, hydro and other renewables. Plus their entire motor vehicle industry is switching to EV - which is more energy efficient.

So guess what is going to happen when the Chinese begin building TMSR reactors on a larger scale throughout China - after 2030.

This picture should give you an idea.

FRIDAY NOTES (12/06/26) FROM THE QURAN - SURAH YASIN

Non Muslims can read this. Some general knowledge. Out of the 114 surahs or chapters in the Quran, chapter 36 is called Surah Yasin. This chapter has much significance because it is often recited during special occasions especially at funerals and when people visit the graves of their dearly departed. It is often recited as a prayer at the graves of the dead people.

However with the appearance of Salafism there is debate because the Salafis do not practise the reciting of the Surah Yasin at funerals or at the graves of dead people.

Of course the vast majority of non-Arab Muslims do not understand Arabic and so they do not understand what they are reciting in Arabic.

Here are a few verses from Surah Yasin (36:60-64) with English translation.

Surah Yasin (36:60-64) 

60  وَأَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَٰبَنِيٓ ءَادَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا۟ ٱلشَّيْطَٰنَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ  

61 وَأَنِ ٱعْبُدُونِى ۚ هَٰذَا صِرَٰطٌ مُّسْتَقِيمٌ  

62 وَلَقَدْ أَضَلَّ مِنكُمْ جِبِلًّۭا كَثِيرًا ۖ أَفَلَمْ تَكُونُوا۟ تَعْقِلُونَ 

63  هَٰذِهِۦ جَهَنَّمُ ٱلَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ  

64 ٱصْلَوْهَا ٱلْيَوْمَ بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَكْفُرُونَ 

Here is the English translation (36:60-64)

60 Did I not enjoin upon you, O children of Adam, that you not worship Satan—indeed, he is to you a clear enemy?

61 And that you worship only Me? This is a straight path.

52 And he had already led astray from among you much of creation, so did you not use reason?

63 This is the Hellfire which you were promised.

64  Enter it today because you disbelieved.

This is part of the recitation at funerals and at the graves of the dearly departed.
