The Daily Chronicles are snippets of the most important news across the world for this and each day as it rolls in – as such, this thread is non-structured with the latest news on top. This rough theme from the previous Daily Chronicles continues: Empire Strikes Back.

I’ve talked to Yemeni reporter @narrabyee 46 times in the last 8 years, since USA switched sides in the terror war there. Today I heard him laugh.
The war is over.

(I don’t have a written comment and my spoken comments scare the cat! Only, can we close down the school for idiots in our world? It is also not a ‘mistake’ that the ICC declares this gross and insulting stupidity just before Xi Jinping’s visit. What is also clear is that the ICC has just killed itself.)

I enjoyed this Scott Ritter. He has a good way of explaining things from the US perspective and I also enjoyed the frustrated adult language.

The US dollar share of global trade payments through SWIFT is 45%. The last time that I looked at these statistics, it was 51%, so, a great improvement for the rest of the world.
The internationalization of Yuan in trade — along with Ruble and perhaps a BRICS currency — will be revolutionary. It will change geopolitics as we know it.

From the Sirius Report:
Currently, there is relative calm in Yemen. It remains tense and not without sporadic acts of violence. An official truce is within grasp. Hopefully this can be achieved very soon and then the war is ended. Saudi and Iran, the ball is in your court. Make it happen.
Roman Polyanskiy (Russian First Secretary to the UN)
We can call the situation on the ground in Yemen relatively calm. Even without an official truce, there has been no relapse into a full-scale armed confrontation. We do hope that this quiet period will last and will not be disturbed by another spiral of tension.
Let’s keep sending positive vibes! It will be wonderful if this war can be over and done with and Yemen can rebuild.
Wednesday, March 15 (The Ides of March is upon us. Who is Ceasar in modern times?).
There are tremendous rumors around the take-down of the US Drone over the Black Sea. The formal Russian position is this:
💬Anatoly Antonov: 🇺🇸 MQ-9 unmanned aerial vehicle that was moving deliberately and provocatively towards 🇷🇺 territory with its transponders turned off violated the boundaries of the temporary airspace regime established for the special military operationhttps://t.co/Q0BA6k3r3Q pic.twitter.com/9iVmtG7kG9
— Russian Embassy in USA 🇷🇺 (@RusEmbUSA) March 15, 2023
Having initially accused Russia of shooting it down, the US story is now that it dumped fuel over the drone before bumping into its propellor. The Ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, told media that the drone was flying within a Russian zone with its transponder (location signal) off. Leaving the State Dept, he posed the question – how would the US react if a Russian drone came close to New York or San Francisco? He said that Moscow considers the incident with an American UAV over the Black Sea as a provocation.
So, we have our next ‘balloon’ story and it is being milked in the US just as they milked the balloon.

Now the hegemon is trying political show trials.International Criminal Court to Open War Crimes Cases Against Russia over Ukraine But Can’t Enforce Arrests
In the first set of charges since it launched a probe in March 2022, the Hague-based court will seek arrest warrants against several individuals accused of allegedly abducting children and targeting civilian infrastructure. (NYT citing sources). The warrants, however, are unlikely to lead to arrests as Moscow – which denies the allegations – is not party to the Rome Statute which founded the ICC.

Col, The G7 share of SWIFT remains the same 90-95% as prior to SMO start on February 24, 2022. So the USD share is really unimportant as they control the others which serve the USD system, right? What’s point of tracking which deck chair on the Titanic is currently less damp? And… Read more »

China is not even a signatory of such a farce of “international criminal court”, so it’s “non binding” the toilet paper of an “arrest warrant”
Yeah, there is no jurisdiction and the ICC is a burnt-out hulk of nothingness. Not even Ukraine is a signatory to the Rome statute. It is the insult.
