    UK column has been a great source of information over the years but I am unsubscribing due to their recent relentless attack on those of us who know the UK weather is being manipulated with SAI. The UK tax payer is paying for their water to be poisoned and their food and now their sky and it is safe to say it has been going on for many years. Good bye UK Column.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Strait of Hormuz Crisis: Why China Will Not Play Trump's Game | Silk and Steel
Q: What is the significance of RMB/ERMB and Enbridge in global trade?
The RMB has grown as a settlement currency, with new rails like Enbridge and CBETS enabling cross-border settlements and reducing dependence on the US dollar, signaling a path toward a multipolar financial system.
The Strait of Hormuz Crisis: Why China Will Not Play Trump's Game | Silk and Steel
Q: How has China managed the oil-price dynamics and what role has Beijing played?
China voluntarily reduced its oil intake, which helped ease global prices and benefited oil-importing countries in the Global South; this also showcased China's influence as a major buyer and market player.
The Strait of Hormuz Crisis: Why China Will Not Play Trump's Game | Silk and Steel
Q: What explains Trump's shifting approach to the Strait of Hormuz and the idea of charging others for passage?
Trump's style appears to be ad hoc and transactional, trying to reshape discussions by introducing new angles, but there is no coherent long-term strategy, which undermines the desired outcomes in the region.
Unmasking the War in Ukraine (Part 1) | UK Column Interviews
Q: Deepti, when you were picked up and taken in for questioning, what was that experience like?
Normal in the context of their profession, with the security services performing their duty, though the process was stressful and intrusive.
Are Iran and Israel In on It? | Jerm Warfare
Q: Why do you think Western narratives persist about Iran and its allies being controlled by outside powers?
The guest argues that Western media, think tanks, and geopolitical narratives are often built on selective sources, and that there are many internal dynamics within Iran and allied movements that can contradict simplistic outside-in explanations.
