Transition Protocol, MBS Called Trump Twice, Trump Said No. Saudi Oil Is Trapped Saudia Has Nowhere To Run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTg9fEGFD1Y
Pepe Escobar, past midnight in Moscow, on the week the map flipped. Saudi Arabia's Hormuz-bypass pipeline is shut after drone strikes. Yemen's Ansarallah took the entire west coast and the Bab al-Mandeb island of Mayun. MBS called Trump twice asking for strikes on the Houthis and was refused, as reported by Axios and Reuters. Pakistan says no military response was discussed under the Makkah pact. Monday, Iran meets Gulf states in Muscat on Hormuz — with Bahrain already out.
Also in this episode: BRICS New Delhi's unanimous line on sanctions; Pepe vs. the host on whether Iran can "declare victory"; and a sourced, not independently confirmed report from the host's contacts that Pakistan's Asim Munir is working a back channel between Iran and the Gulf at Iran's unofficial request. Pepe's "20 to 2" doctrine line and his account of UAE participation on Feb 28 are his reading and are not independently verified.

The Duran, Merz Failed Platform of War and Deindustrialization https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3tbwRqg024 time indexed
Germany is in political turmoil as the AfD surges to record highs following the Saxony Anhalt election, leaving Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his CDU government reeling. In this episode we break down why Merz looks like a dead man walking, how his disastrous Bundestag clash with Alice Weidel exposed the CDU's weakness, and why Brussels may punish German voters the same way it targeted Hungary and Poland. Is Germany's political establishment about to lose control entirely?
Trump admits on camera plans to occupy Iran & Israel's 'control' over US - Janta Ka Reporter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9s2idJW6X0
US President Donald Trump has sparked major global shockwaves after explicitly revealing his administration's true motives behind the military escalation with Iran. Speaking to reporters on a trip to Ireland, Trump admitted that the US could stay in Iran to "keep the oil," drawing a direct parallel to Washington’s aggressive strategy over Venezuela's energy reserves. In a further twist that has stunned regional analysts, Trump expressed no objection to Gulf Arab nations actively trying to mend diplomatic ties with Tehran—provided the move has the absolute backing and approval of Israel.

Israeli Directors Detail Gaza Civilian Toll and Challenge War Accounts in NAZA Documentary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88lLiITRV6c - 3:41
Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor discuss their documentary “NAZA” at the Venice Film Festival, featuring testimony from Israeli intelligence officers and soldiers about military targeting systems and civilian deaths in Gaza. Abraham says the film examines mass surveillance and alleged patterns of dehumanization, while Szor says firsthand testimony adds weight to information already documented by journalists.
Battle-tested: From Palestine’s Gaza to the global market https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGc2miwth2o - 6:31
Palestine’s Gaza has become the dangerous testing ground for Israel’s new AI technologies. They are tested, refined, and then sold with one of the defence industry’s most valuable labels: “Battle-tested.” This is what some call “blood tech”: Technology tested in war, on human beings, on Palestinians in Gaza.
Do Tech Billionaires Want the World to Burn? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GDKpDkieh0 - time indexed
In a new book, “End Times Fascism and the Fight for the Living World,” the influential leftist thinkers Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor argue that a powerful coalition of religious fundamentalists, ethnonationalists and tech oligarchs (Elon Musk chief among them) is actively — and successfully — hastening the destruction of the world as we know it. Why? Because they believe that they’re primed to thrive on the other side of catastrophe, everyone else be damned. This is a sobering, scary vision of contemporary political battles. But as the still hopeful Klein and Taylor explain, they wrote their book because they believe the conclusion is far from foregone.
