13:00 (9/5/26)HMS Dragon to redeploy to Middle East ahead of potential role to safeguard shipping in Strait of HormuzHMS Dragon is being deployed from the Eastern Mediterranean towards the Middle East ahead of a potential role in a future multinational Strait of Hormuz mission.The Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the decision would mean the ship could immediately contribute, if needed, to a future mission to safeguard freedom of navigation through the waterway.It added that any plan would be strictly defensive and aimed at restoring confidence for commercial shipping.In March, the Type 45 destroyer was deployed to protect British air bases in Cyprus following a drone strike at RAF Akrotiri.But the ship took six days to leave Portsmouth and was then forced to dock for maintenance after reaching Cyprus - less than a month after setting off.The MoD said after today's announcement that Cyprus would remain "well defended", even without HMS Dragon, and that UK defensive capabilities on the island had been bolstered since January.The UK and France are leading international efforts to coordinate a military plan to escort shipping through the Strait when conditions allow.In April, military planners from 44 nations met in the UK to discuss potential options.Earlier this week, the French Armed Forces confirmed that its Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier group had crossed the Suez Canal, heading for the Red Sea.

>Sergey Karaganov: How Russia Will Win the New World War https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gd5jdl36cg
>>534814225Contemplate life, the mysterious of the universe. The usual shit, you?
Karaganov is calling for a Russian attack on European countries now to re-establish deterrence. Conventional and symbolic at first, nuclear and strategic if they don't listen. He's calling for that to be done now.
>>534814673>KaraganovLiterally who?
Was fun while it lasted. I guess
>>534814829
>>534813864Dragon is a rustbucket.The engines dont work in warm water, half the missile types were never fitted, and it cant make fresh water reliably.
The Karaganov Doctrine>Karaganov is known as the progenitor of the Karaganov Doctrine, which states that Moscow should pose as the defender of human rights of ethnic Russians living in the "near abroad" for the purpose of gaining political influence in these regions. In 1992, he formulated the hypothesis that the Russian leadership might feel compelled to use force in order to achieve this goal.[7][8][9][10] This idea was first brought into domestic Russian Federation politics by Boris Yeltsin in 1992,[7] although it was only a fringe ideology in Yeltsin's Russia. It has become a mainstream ideology in Putin's Russia after 2012.[8]>After Karaganov published an article advocating this stance in 1992, Russia's foreign policy position linked Russian troop withdrawals from the Baltics with the end of "systemic discrimination" against Russians in these countries.[11] It was already a subject of controversy in February 1994 when the doctrine was the subject of remarks by Lennart Meri, the then-president of Estonia, in his Matthiae-Mahl speech in Hamburg on 25 February.[12][13]>In 2022 Karaganov claimed full ownership of this idea in a serious interview.[14] In 2023 Walter Clemens wrote that Karaganov "was a key figure in building the groundwork for the war against Ukraine" because he propounded "that Moscow should pose as the defender of the human rights of ethnic Russians living" near to Russky Mir.[15]>The Karaganov Doctrine has been likened by scholars to the idea that furnished Hitler's 1938 Anschluss of Austria.[16]

>>534815048I'm not well versed in naval matters. Is it true that (according to UK Defence Journal) only 3 of 6 Type 45 destroyers are "seaworthy" at any one time currently, and that Dragon is one of those 3?

>Iran War Is Draining World's Oil Buffer at an Unprecedented Pacehttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-05-09/iran-war-is-draining-world-s-oil-buffer-at-unprecedented-pace"The world has burned through oil inventories at a record speed as the Iran war throttles flows from the Persian Gulf, eating into the very buffer that protects against supply shocks."
>>534817346So what?
The Bloomberg article is paywalled. RT more or less sheds some light on the text: >World oil reserves drain at record pace – Bloomberghttps://www.rt.com/news/639829-world-oil-reserves-draining/Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are pushing global inventories toward operational ‘stress’ and ‘floor’ levels, the outlet has reported Global oil inventories are shrinking at the fastest pace on record amid continuing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, Bloomberg has reported. The outlet cited data from Morgan Stanley on Saturday showing that global oil stockpiles fell by about 4.8 million barrels per day between March 1 and April 25. The figure surpasses previous inventory drawdown records tracked by the International Energy Agency, it added.The Strait of Hormuz off Iran’s coast normally carries about one-fifth of the global oil and LNG trade. Tanker traffic through the waterway has remained heavily disrupted following the US-Israeli military campaign against Iran and repeated accusations by both sides of violating a fragile ceasefire.On Friday, US President Donald Trump warned that Washington may revive and expand “Project Freedom,” a naval operation in the Strait of Hormuz, if a peace deal is not reached with Iran. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that military options remain on the table if diplomacy fails.If disruptions continue, commercial oil inventories could fall to “operational stress levels” by June and reach “operational floor” levels by September – meaning stockpiles would approach the minimum volumes needed to keep pipelines, export terminals, and refineries functioning efficiently, Bloomberg wrote.(1/2)
>>534817652The US, which has increased crude and fuel exports to offset global supply disruptions, has also been drawing down its domestic inventories, Bloomberg noted. According to Energy Information Administration data, US fuel stockpiles recently fell to 11% below the five-year seasonal average. Despite President Trump’s claims that the US “doesn’t need” the Strait of Hormuz, the country still imports some crude oil from Persian Gulf producers.The disruption of Gulf oil flows has reinforced the importance of Russian energy supplies despite a push by the EU to phase out imports of fossil fuels from the sanctioned country. According to media reports, Brussels has delayed plans for a permanent ban on Russian oil amid concerns that removing more crude from the market could tighten fuel supplies and push energy prices higher across the bloc.(2/2)
