Puff Adder


We unlatched the cage.  And after many years of confinement the puff adder is loose. Currently,  larger cages are being built to guard against the puff adder entering nearby gardens. Because if there is one thing which is true, it is that the IRGC has the instincts of a puff adder.  And there is certainly no acquaintance with morality.   It exists - because it can.  I doubt the puff adder is endowed with compassion.  But it has a nasty bite.

The UAE has quietly begun the work of soft fortifications of sensitive sites.  Problematic, is that what a drone is denied a target,  a larger missile can "puff" in an instant.


 The IRGC has the one weapon which is priceless that actually costs nothing.

Time.

Wars are generally best mounted within compressed time frames. Hence,  American military prowess lies within the realm of "Shock and Awe".   As to whether our SecWar should try to explain a 1.5 billion budget by reducing it into a compressed two minute and nine second video, is a rather ludicrous thought.  Performances for children.  Adults - read this blog.

The IRGC takes a lighter view of time - and the complete craziness associated with AI-generated (very bad) entertainment takes hold with what looks like a remake of the film, "Animal House".  But since the SecWar is also into mind-numbing cartoon graphics ... why not?

The priceless weapon of time is being put to good use in Beijing.  But BRICS is using this same time frame to solidify their position as a counterweight to Western aspirations.  We may be in China, but Iran's Foreign Minister is in New Delhi.




Time.

We did not factor the weapon of time into the equation when we attacked Iran.  And Tehran is now using that weapon to weaken Iraq, frighten the Gulf States, and solidify new geopolitical realities which present themselves during the continued choke hold on the Strait of Hormuz.

Time:

Since Sunday, nine large ships carrying oil and gas have made transit through the Strait of Hormuz with Iran's permission.  One of those vessels was flagged by Japan.  The Japanese PM made an official statement that crossing is no longer taken for granted, but is accomplished with diplomatic permission. This is what control over the arteries of global trade now looks like - and the puff adder is still out of the cage.

Time:

It is the invisible weapon which is having lasting impact

* Tammy's note:  The video from the Iranian feed does not bother me.  I grew up with four brothers. It is a wonder that I survived childhood.  If you are offended - oh well.  I believe that freedom of expression is allowed an offensive flank, albeit, such things should have very little impact on intelligent Americans, any greater than the first video by our SecWar should impact our overall thinking.

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
