Concentration of forces near Gulf risks ‘conflict outbreak,’ US policy ‘a mistake’ – Moscow
RT | July 19, 2019
Washington’s claim that it downed an Iranian drone is another sign that tensions in the Persian Gulf are at risk of spiraling into a bigger conflict, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov warned.
President Donald Trump had earlier claimed that the assault ship USS ‘Boxer’ shot down an Iranian drone that was approaching it in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran denied losing any aircraft that day.
“The concentration of forces of different countries in the Persian Gulf is so high that any incidents are possible there,” the Russian diplomat told reporters on Friday, adding that the main task now is to “prevent the escalation.”
“As we see once again, the situation… can lead to an outbreak of a conflict.”
Ryabkov said that, despite calls to show restraint, Washington “stubbornly continues to follow the path of stoking tensions and maximum pressure on Tehran.”
This path is a mistake, and prone to cause further complications and shocks.
Last month, the Iranian military shot down a US drone it said had violated the nation’s airspace. Washington said the drone was destroyed over international waters.

Statins Increase Diabetes Risk by 38%
By Dr. Joseph Mercola | June 29, 2022
According to a 2020 report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services,1 34.1 million U.S. adults had diagnosed or undiagnosed diabetes in 2018. There were slightly more men than women, and more white, non-Hispanic people with diabetes than Black, Asian or Hispanic people combined.
Just two years later, these numbers have gone up, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,2 with 37.3 million people having diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes. A total of 96 million over the age of 18 have prediabetes, which is 38% of the U.S. adult population.
These numbers demonstrate that diabetes is already at epidemic proportions in the U.S. A study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology 3 found that adults taking statin medications to control cholesterol levels have a higher risk of developing insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes than the general population. However, researchers have repeatedly failed to find evidence that high cholesterol is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
As I have discussed in many previous articles, three factors have a far greater influence on your cardiovascular disease risk and, to some degree, are interrelated. These are insulin resistance,4 chronic inflammation5 and high iron levels.6 Unfortunately, these primary contributors are rarely the focus of cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment in conventional medicine.
Instead, statins, also called cholesterol-lowering drugs, are the go-to defense in Western medicine, which led to the drug once holding the infamous title of the most profitable drug. Dr. Malcolm Kendrick7 is a general practitioner in Cheshire, England, and the author of three books, including “A Statin Nation: Damaging Millions in a Brave New Post-Health World.” He estimates that the pharmaceutical industry has grossed more than $1 trillion from statins. … continue

Aletho News 
The situation is extremely dangerous, simply for what can be done to precipitate hostilities.
How easy for a deceptive action on the part of Israel, to ignite its willing coalition into doing its biding for it.
How Iran can be deemed a threat to the United States, or Britain, to bring both to employ their military might into the region is a sleight of hand by Israel of the most ghastly influence.
Will Israel successfully initiate a USS Liberty-like action? Israel has so many ways to carry out its deceptive ploys: submarines; drones; on and on.
How pleased it has been, has said of and to have Britain and the United States there to enforce an ever greater snare and strangulation upon a country which is no threat the either. How quite it now conducts itself, since it doesn’t want to bring its past machinations to the forefront in what it has been doing to establish this present situation.
The United States and Britain, long lap dogs for Israel, now are set to unleash the dogs of war upon another country which has voiced opposition to what Israel has done to Palestine.
What subservience to whatever that Jewish state and its world-wide adherence stand for, to the politicians of both countries and beyond, having clamored and applauded and seek to outdo each other, one after another to show their devotion. They are so blinded by the money they seek as to envelope the middle east into another war, one that may very well trigger Israel to use what it never acknowledges is a part of its weaponry?
And given all it proclaims, it is most ready to unleash their dogs of war, the weapon of ultimate mass destruction.
After all, Israel’s “right to exist, to defend itself” is agreed to by all of its support nations.
Where is the rational counter to this thuggery, this insanity, this willful goading to make war?

Time for Russia to step in and clean up the mess. Russia was able to drive ISIS, etc out of Syria ( the US and Allies were going to diddle around for decades and lose ). If Israel gets brave with their nukes, I wouldn’t want to be on the West Bank.
Don’t push Russia too hard – they may say today is as good as any.
