      Is Hezbollah trying to goad zionazis? They calmy flew that drone into the building.. they issued nine separate operations reports last night, and are already on ten today with about six hours to go on their 24-hour reporting cycle.

      ⭕ 🇸🇾 Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates:

      In a continuation of its aggression on Syrian territories, “israeli” occupation forces launched a blatant air attack on Sunday evening, September 8, 2024, from the northwest of Lebanon, targeting several areas. This attack resulted in the martyrdom of 16 people and the injury of 36 others, 6 of whom are in critical condition. It also caused material damage in some residential areas.

      The persistence of the “israeli” occupation in its attacks on Syrian territories and other countries in the region, and its ongoing brutal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank, committing the most heinous massacres and acts of genocide against Palestinians, indicates the frantic drive of this bloody fascist entity towards further escalation in the region, pushing it towards dangerous slides with severe and unforeseeable consequences.

      Syria affirms that the unlimited support given to the “israeli” entity by the United States of America and other Western countries is what encourages it to continue its heinous crimes and ongoing aggression. This makes these countries complicit in this aggression, and covering for it requires accountability.

      The Syrian Arab Republic condemns in the strongest terms this heinous attack on Syrian territories. It warns against the continued international silence regarding “israel’s” disregard for all international laws and treaties and its violations of international law. It calls on all countries of the world to condemn this “israeli” aggression, show solidarity with Syria in its efforts to end these systematic “israeli” attacks and crimes, and hold the leaders of this racist entity accountable for all their crimes.

      Syria reaffirms its solid right to defend its sovereignty and to liberate its occupied land by all legitimate means guaranteed by international law.
      ⭕️ 🇾🇪 AnsarAllah Political Bureau:

      We strongly condemn the zionist aggression on the Masyaf area in Syria, which constitutes a blatant violation of Syria’s sovereignty and international laws.

      The abandonment of the Palestinian people in Gaza by many Arab and Islamic regimes has encouraged the enemy entity to further escalate its arrogance and aggression.

      We express full solidarity with the Syrian government and the brotherly Syrian people, and we offer our condolences to them and the families of the victims of this heinous aggression.

      We affirm Syria’s legitimate right to respond to this crime and any other violations of Syrian territory.

      We call on Arab and Islamic countries to break their silence and move towards collective action to confront “israeli” and American terrorism.

      Remarking of picture from zone 404, or maybe Kursk, the soldier’s weapon seems to be a very pretty “goose gun”, which is a pump action 12 bore (or maybe a 10 bore, which would be even better!) with a very long tube. Evidently these weapons are handy for small “drones”. It would be my choice, though a simiauto 10 bore would be ideal. These are very spendy weapons. “Geese” fly pretty high, y’a gotta reach out tagit’em. (I never hunt, btw. killing is not nice)

      Prominent and well-trusted Syrian source, Syrian Military Capabilities on Telegram, assures:

      You have been accustomed to our honesty for many years, and we are not the type to go after collecting likes and shares. Therefore, after verifying the news from several reliable sources, the Syrian Military Capabilities channel confirms the downing of an enemy F-16 Sufa plane, with uncertainty about the fate of its two pilots…

      There will probably be an “air accident” announced soon that the enemy will claim to cover up the downing incident…

      ➖➖➖
      Prominent Syrian journalist Majd Jbailly cites:

      Comrades in arms, men of the Syrian Arab Army, on the “Syrian Military Capabilities” channel, confirm via radar observations the downing of an Israeli warplane deep in the Mediterranean Sea yesterday morning during the first wave of the Israeli attacks

      The news cannot be officially confirmed unless the enemy army acknowledges the incident, but the enemy’s crazy reaction throughout the night and their attempt to kill as many Syrians as possible was due to the unexpected damage they suffered during the first wave

      ➖➖➖
      If confirmed, this would be the 2nd time that the Syrian army manages to down a Zionist bomber. The first case was in 2018, and as part of mandatory silence policy, even then the Syrian defense ministry didn’t make an official announcement of it, despite the whole world seeing it live on TV

      Sharmine Narwani gave a lecture at the American University in Beirut last week, and although I’ve seen this cited in one or two places, somehow it hasn’t been linked here, that I’m aware of.

      She introduces her talk with a theme she’s been advocating for some years, and as the first prominent figure to do so to my knowledge: namely, that while the Arab resistance now controls the ground of its region, it has still been reacting in the information space, instead of leading.

      She cites the Cradle’s “Boiling Frog” article, alluded to by Israel at the UN, as the first concrete example of what she means by leading the narrative and placing the enemy in reaction mode.

        Which is the first point zionists attack to takeover in target societies — the media or the central banks??

        Each side has its unbreachable bastion. We shall have to be content with land war supremacy, numbers, the moral ground, and most of the Truth itself.

        And all that would occur even as the Global Majority institutes “informational hygiene” and rolls their media back off the World-Island is that the West will hermetically seal its own media space. This is already occurring as we see with social media and with pro-Palestine activists.

        With this understanding, the most practical maneuver has always seemed to me to follow the Chinese, Korean and other methods of “Great Firewalls,” at least with respect to most odious content.

        The Truth, slow that it saddles, and Victories on the battlefields, will have to suffice. And that was usually the best outcome when interacting with diverse nihilistic adversaries.

      ⭕ 🇷🇺🌾 Russia is poised to benefit from France’s waning influence in the African wheat market, media reports, citing an expert

      Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, long-time buyers of French wheat, are facing a supply crunch as France anticipates a devastating wheat harvest in 2024, caused by heavy rainfall, Maxence Devillers, a market analyst at Argus Media France, told the media.

      🗣 “Russian wheat, which accounts for 82.5 million tonnes produced this year and 14.9 million stored, [will] be the main winner from this loss of market share by French producers,” stated the expert.

      Heavy rainfall in France has severely impacted its wheat harvest, causing a 20% decline and drastically reducing exports, particularly to North Africa, according to the expert. This comes at a time when the region’s rapidly growing population demands more wheat than ever before. To make matters worse, Morocco, a major wheat producer in the region, is experiencing its third consecutive year of drought.

      The media also highlighted that Ukraine, a major grain supplier to Europe, will likely see a significant decrease in its wheat exports due to a sharp drop in stocks.

      Alexander Mercouris made the excellent point last night that permitting the Kursk incursion has useful dividends for Russia, beyond the military. We’ve already discussed the military utility — attriting the last well-trained reserves and armored vehicles; also the psychological on the Russian homefront in marshalling for this existential totalen krieg against their entire kind — volunteers for military service have been up, and resolve to defeat the western Legion.

      But there’s the diplomatic too. India and Brazil have been problematic, to put it charitably. These are two wussy fence-sitters that cause a lot of headache for Russia-China. They push and push like sniveling winos, long past the point of good manners! Their insistence on maintenance of 1991 borders, to uselessly ingratiate themselves from the satanic West, is totally rebuffed by this Kursk craze. Putin, Shoigu and Lavrov all said negotiations are useless whilst they’re invaded and at risk of nuclear terrorism; it also revealed the lack of good faith negotiations.

      And the BRICS Summit is is one month..

      so the West pushes the two drunks to try to defeat Russia outside the battlefield, and Russia was given a lifeline by their own dementia. Now, after being endured and humored for so long, India and Brazil can show up in Kazan, keep quiet, and take their [secondary] place in the new fair World System.

        So, Trump has his transition team by the looks of things.  And Harris does not really need one right away.  Can you imagine Trump if a war breaks out in the transition period and Trump must watch Harris handle it?  Because Biden with his funny N keys has lost it mentally and is on the beach.

        The storm is about to crest.

        Note the deluded Suisse prepping to lock their borders down! As if that will save them or stop the real “invaders” — the hypersonics and ICBMs.

        If Russkies are going to go down, one of their first targets will be that land. What an evil land! Remember the opening of the Gotard tunnel, attended by Merkel and Italians too.

        Switzerland is located at a four nation junction of northern Italy, Bavaria, and France that hosts among the oldest secret societies and Banksters. And old European bloodlines responsible for perhaps most wars in last 2.5 millennia (including the ancient Roman elite survivors who fled here). Designated “neutral” (ha! See where Dulles met nazis, fenced stolen nazi gold and set up Gehlen’s crew, Bandera’s base in Munich & Op Paperclip) it is in fact a rat’s nest.

        How many nazis are holed up inside their deep Alps right now? How much evil oozes out of that locale – it hosts the WHO, WEF, UN, BIS, etc etc – as I shared weeks ago Geneva is said to be the modern reincarnation of the Church of Pergamum.

        The satanic side continues to push Russia to use nukes. So it will strike Moscow and other large cities in shocking ways with long range missiles – remember the damage done by the FRAGMENT of a single ATACMs on the beach in Crimea.

        This isn’t “insanity” or “incompetence” or “insular ahistorical arrogance” — it is open satanic declaration of war. What are the civilizational-states gonna do, besides suck their thumbs and plan pleasant conferences in Kazan? The time they were playing for has now been withdrawn!

        One thing is for sure, what emerges from the other side of the ashes will NOT be woke, or waste time indulging the Modis & Lulas, or legalistic facing barbarism, or continue to play in rigged games to please the dolts and laggards.

      ⭕ Some Telegram channels are trying to draw a comparison between the Blitz on London during the Second World War and the recent kamikaze drone attack on Moscow. Comparison not being reason, a slow drone with a small explosive charge that damages a balcony or window cannot be compared with a V2 missile that wiped out city blocks… Others see it as a decline.

      One wonders how drones have not been used since the early 1930s, since the technology already existed then and would have been more efficient in terms of motorization than it is today.
      ⭕ Kan Hebrew Channel:
      Air Force Commander General Tomer Bar was completely unaware of the “Nova” festival held at “Re’im” in the Gaza Strip envelope until the afternoon hours of October 7, 2023. The pilots of the four F-16 fighter jets and 28 A -64 Apache attack helicopters who rushed to the scene believed that all the participants in the Nova festival were members of Hamas. As a result, they opened fire without asking permission. The entire chain of command was shouting: “Fire in the bunch! Shoot the lot! Shoot ’em all!”

      The ambush by the armed Hamas faction on Israeli forces in Rafah is one of the most complex since 07/10/2023.
      ⭕ The Israeli military censorship issued an initial report of two dead and seven seriously wounded in the lost helicopter incident, without mentioning the dead and wounded from the ambush.
      Two Sam-7 portable surface-to-air missile shots were detected when the five helicopters were over the town of Rafah.
      [So if deliberately downed, and was not an error, this indicates the terms of engagement changed by Palestinians.. a free for all, to match the absolute savagery shown their side. Keep in mind, zionazis focus on killing healthcare workers of Palestinians and Lebanese. That had been circumscribed to date by the Resistance. Let’s monitor the trend.. targeting evac choppers likely kills two – the stranded wounded, plus evac crew. It will significantly increase casualties, unfurl the lying PR, and make exceedingly costly the occupation..]
      Ministry of Interior in Gaza:
      “Investigations carried out by the relevant authorities have proved that a large number of the air strikes carried out by the occupation against homes in the Gaza Strip over the past period were carried out as a result of information being given on cell phones to the occupation’s intelligence services, which posed as well-known local and international charities and aid institutions.”
      [So as they let in the WHO to administer vaxx kill shots, they used other NGOs as willing or unknowing snitches as all smartphones can be used involuntarily as cameras, mics, and location target finders… this may not mean much. All are targeted for annihilation in Gaza. Countless sensors exist in the air, and on the ground among Palestinians themselves. The NGOs may still do more good than harm.]

      Just recalling> First drone was used in WW1. Gyros and compass and revolutions to target, called “the bug”. Control systems were inadequate. Big guns were probably cheaper and more effective. Actor-inventor Reginald Denny (!) developed (late 1930’s-early 1940’s) radio-control drones as targets, Marlyn Monroe (!) helped building drones in Burbank (!). The development of television by radio enabled the US to fly drone P-38 photo recons over Japan late in WW2. The equipment was primitive and it took a large airplane, a converted bomber with a specialized crew, to fly the P-38 drone. The P-38 was a fast twin fighter-bomber with big merlin or packard V12 engines and significantly, electrical power aplenty from alternator instead of dynamo generators. The V-1 was a drone. Later the radio-guided rocket ground to air drone was tested by the nazi Germans late in WW2, against B-17’s. Never properly developed, they say 17 kills in 18 tests, iirc.  After the war things got very much more innarrestin’ And the batteries and the computers got lighter and vastly cheaper and better!

      ⭕ The Islamic Resistance Movement (IRM), Palestinian Hamas and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) held an important trilateral meeting in the war-torn Gaza Strip.

      ⭕ A rereading of the more than spectacular ancient accounts of Moses’ dealings with the Pharaoh of his day reveals that this Pharaoh, likened to Ramses II (?), was an excellent tactician, a shrewd politician and an outstanding strategist. He refused to give in on the question of his deification, as he felt this would downgrade him and put an end to his domination and power. It appears from these accounts that the technologies of the time, totally asymmetrical compared to today’s poor technology, followed other, more subtle logics and would have been extremely advanced.
      [We at the End Times are really degraded — in stature, intellect, longevity, spirituality, and apparently technology wise.

      ⭕ Despite the many additions made by the Rabbis, some elements of the story remain very vague. One of these additions, dating from the 2nd century BC, relates that when Pharaoh, leading his armies, rushed into one of the twelve passageways leading into the Red Sea, the angel Gabriel was ordered to restore the unchanging physical order on Earth. In view of the imminent peril, Pharaoh is said to have affirmed his belief in the God of Moses. This is where the Rabbis added the curious episode in which the Angel Gabriel took a handful of wet sand and threw it in Pharaoh’s face to prevent him from continuing to speak, lest God’s mercy grant him an extenuating circumstance…
      It is written that all the ruling caste, the nobility and the great men of the country perished in the Red Sea, and that all that remained in Egypt were women, children and slaves, who appointed a woman as regent (called Darkon in the texts). It is said that “all the high priests having perished with Pharaoh, knowledge was lost and they no longer knew how to use the pyramids to send and harness the power of the celestial stars and send people to other worlds”.

      One thing I know most people fail to accurately assess is the credible launch points of these missiles, and then calculate range on that basis.

      More importantly, it must be understood that the ONLY way the available strike systems could hope for meaningful success is if many dozen are launched in well-conceived salvos. Multiple salvos.

      Ukraine neither has, nor will ever have, the numbers of aircraft and ground launchers sufficient to launch even ONE meaningful “deep strike” salvo within Russia.

      Their only option is isolated potshots.

      MOST importantly, hasn’t anyone been watching the abject futility of these weapons to date?

      When one does a rough comparison of the reported numbers of delivered precision strike missiles of all kinds to the credible and attested numbers of reported strikes, the ledger does not lie: the failure rate of these weapons, across the board, is in the range of 90%.

      Meanwhile the Russians are more competent than ever before at locating and promptly killing both aircraft and ground launch systems.

      There may be some sort of fleeting PR victory to be obtained by hitting a handful of targets in southwestern Russia, but, in my view, the military equation is incontrovertible:

      — A small fraction of missiles will strike targets.

      — Launch platforms will be aggressively hunted and attrited.

      — They will run out of missiles in a matter of days.

      And, as a final thought, I submit it may become the casus belli for Russia to finally take out NATO airborne ISR assets, regardless of where they may be.
      [Response to:
      According to the ISW, there are ~230 military targets reachable with ATACMS & Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles. Not exactly deep but deeper than the targets they’ve been hitting.

      The logic behind it isn’t even military, the point is to destabilize the political situation for Putin by “bringing the war to Russia.” That’s what the Cokehead of Kiev has been talking about for ages.

      Washington has no strategy, so the only thing left is to fire some missiles deeper into Russia and hope and pray something changes in their favor]
      ⭕ To my knowledge, few if any of these missile types have achieved strikes at the full extent of their reputed range

      The Ukrainian army cannot strike with modern Western-made high-precision long-range systems, said President Vladimir Putin.

      That is only possible using intelligence from satellites, which Ukraine does not have, he said.

      Putin added that only NATO servicemen can enter flight missions into those systems.

      “Therefore, it is not a question of allowing the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia with these weapons or not,” the president said. “It is a question of making a decision on whether NATO countries are directly participating in the military conflict or not. If this decision is made, it will mean nothing less than the direct participation of NATO countries, the United States, and European countries in the war in Ukraine.”

      Putin stressed that would change the very nature of the conflict and will mean that NATO countries, the US and Europe were fighting Russia.

      “And if this is so, then, bearing in mind the change in the very essence of this conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be created for us.”

        At the end of that video, he talks such shit about China.    Really, he should not talk about China.  Of course Russia is better at war because they’ve had a few – practice makes perfect eh.  China has not had one war, and it is a difference that should not be necessary to make.  I think that with the excellent and adult relationship between these two civilizational states it is truly bad form (and from the Chinese perspective extreeeeemely bad manners) to talk like that.   Now this is not a secret and I’ve made this critique before.

        China cannot fight the West on its own.  Well, I have news.  Neither can Russia.  Depends how you define that fight.  What kind of fight?  So far China has won every trade war thrown at them.  Kinetic, well, I don’t see Australia or Japan trying anything and if they do, they run home needing psychological treatment.  We are in a war (and with Putin’s words today, we can count that war as between NATO/EU/US and Britain and Russia slowly slipping to a kinetic phase although we do not know how many proxies if any will turn up).  From China even in the streets there is only support shown for Russia and in the early days, they stuck X on their vehicles.

        The issue rather is that the west cannot fight Russia, and it cannot fight China because for all the reasons that they cannot fight Russia, there are more reasons for China.  The two together?  Oh boy.

        The Chinese military is bigger than the Russian military and man … they don’t stop!  They keep on coming.  Nobody can outproduce them.  And it is only Andrei that says that Russia produces everything it needs for its military in-house.  Well, let’s not talk any longer about that, except to say there is a land border between the two and some really nice railway lines and if more are needed, China builds them at a rate that is staggering.

        And then it is worth while to wonder why China so stubbornly insists on its old traditional ownership of the South China Sea.  And then one starts with China’s military which dwarfs Russia’s military.  And then one thinks of China’s manufacturing capability.  And then one thinks that there is not one child in China that does not get military training, from little to college. This is real training.  There are very few military in China now without some degree.    Every Chinese is willing to fight.  And then one thinks of China’s claim that they have 500 nuclear warheads and delivery systems.  (I don’t believe them .. there is a reason why they are so insistent on not attending any nuclear disarmament summit).

        Look at the map around that border.

        Godfree Roberts started feeding Andrei with some weapons information but, he would not believe a word.   It did not end well but no more needs to be said there either.  Why is it that with all the content that I churn out to the China Writer’s Group, and the masses of information that they make available for me, there never is one word said?  Why is it that with all the masses of Chinese Blogs, Twitters and other information in English, there never is something said or a quote or video or link passed along?

        This is a thing that I experienced first-hand.  I forget which theater command was assigned when Nancy Pelosi flew to Taiwan.  The instruction went out from the military to the whole of China to say nothing.  Do not report anything – Don’t even report if your traffic lights are out.  I searched my Chinese information sources at the time, and if anyone said something about a road being worked on, or they saw some planes fly over or anything that looked benign, a bunch of them just jumped up and shouted .. NOT ANOTHER WORD!  and reported that social media to be deleted tout de suite.  The social media is usually amiable, friendly.  For those few days not a bird flew over in China, the cats did not meow and there was not a dog barking and the kids baked cookies and drank milk.  It was ice-cold silence and total online hygiene.  I mean I asked how it is on the Chinese social media and if I received a reply, it was something about a recipe or something weird, nothing to do with the question.  According to the Chinese social media during that period there were no ships in the water, no planes flew over and no military vehicle convoys were noticed.  But the kids double marched in schools.

        Those people are disciplined to an astonishing degree and they believe they are at war.  There are the Russian exceptionalists that diss China.

        This makes me sad.

          I have no disagreement, dear. Andre gets a bit off sometimes, this is pretty clear. I can say that kinetic war is unpredictable. And that I admire China and applaud in particular some universal military education, education in general too, of course, they’re really inseparable. I recall the 19 hour movie Crossing the Yalu. I thought then, and now, that it was a pretty clear telegraphed signal. And as a kid I knew US vets who were “familiar” in combat with the Chinese Army, first hand, combat wounds, horrible sights, and “that look”. They, at least, did not harbor any illusions about the prospects of the Chinese army or the Chinese people. Peace, dear, and I bow to your expertize, especially in the matter of China!

          Posting Andre, or really any speaker, ought not to be taken as endorsement of content by me, except that only by criticism can we know, and that means looking, listening, thinking. It’s a-priori with me that knowing is a good. Otherwise it’s impossible to speak truth to power – a Quaker character I cannot escape, nor do I wish to.

          Evidently, 😉 you did look and made good, informed, criticism. Good! Me too. fwiw Andre is a bit of a cypher for me. I think too that he made a big mistake when he left Russia. He seems marginally hysterical, and I imagine that’s driven by his unstated, perhaps emerging, realization that he made that big mistake. It cannot be taken back. He’s not at peace about it, poor fellow.

            I saw the video earlier today when I looked at Nima’s channel for something else.  Michael Hudson had another interview (I think with Prof Wolff) and I had an early view with a set of quotes from the transcript from him to look out for – A specific economic thing that is on the table for discussion.  That video was not up yet, but I found the one of Smoothie and my head was full of China stuff.  For another reason I’m reading Marx quotes and selections in between.  So, my head was full of good China stuff when I listened to Smoothie’s interview with Nima and it was just like .. Oh, what the hell is this?  So it messed with my head all day long, as I was also looking for a human voice from China for the site and found a new one.  Too lovely and I’ll post it tomorrow.  I’ve been looking for different content from there, humans doing human things.

            So it was a China day.

            his role has been important, he reaches a pocket of  survivors, intelligent thinkers with sufficient courage left to question in search of truth.  my hope is that if/when he is interrogated & charged that mother will intervene & bargain to exchange some foul & dippy spy for smoothie.  he has been that crucial.

      amarynth, I also feel that rudeness, it cheapens his contribution to accurate analysis, to my mind. And it saddens me also, we see it everywhere, with quality commentators, China is perhaps their last piece of deeply embedded propaganda, and they’ve simply not been lucky enough to encounter the truth of China yet.

      I always think of the PLA of old, with China having broken from imperialist control and fought a revolution, fought the terrible Japanese…and the Long March is something of impossible achievement, it literally sets me in awe when I contemplate the spirit that it took to achieve that – not only to forge through but to encompass Mao’s brilliant strategy in so doing, and to retain throughout all these trials the great civilizational wisdom of the culture – to be guided by it, in fact. And all the other things that China has shown us, in the last hundred years alone, let alone all of history.

      I am no scholar of anything but I know grit when I see it, and the PLA had grit back then, and I have no reason whatsoever to think that this has ever gone away. I would not tangle with the PLA – and ironically, the more so because they have not revealed themselves in recent decades. Only a fool would think this means they’ve become less ready to fight for their motherland. Only a fool would go up against that great unknown.

      One can say that Russia has had more experience fighting wars, and maybe that’s true in recent years, but China has not had less experience from a fear of fighting, simply that it’s time has not come yet. And it has acted wisely, and prudently. China wins without the struggle ever becoming obvious. Who is the greater soldier?

      Personally, I don’t think that experience in fighting wars speaks of clever strategy, I think staying out of them speaks of vastly superior warriorship.

Also the smothering Overton windows  — even those who SHOULD know better do not act so, afraid or feeling forced through groupthink to act so boorishly. It is sad, affecting their overall solid work. It is what it is. Each has blind spots.  We can disregard these rants

      “I know grit when I see it, and the PLA had grit back then, and I have no reason whatsoever to think that this has ever gone away. I would not tangle with the PLA – and ironically, the more so because they have not revealed themselves in recent decades.”

      Well said. I have seen it among their scientists and health care workers. Quiet determination and dignity that intimidated the Anglos working alongside us!

      And yes, I too sense they’ve been playing possum. A sign of wisdom, per Uncle Sun Tzu. Play weak when actually strong.

      And they’re not out of practice either, from Smoothie himself, who notes they’re embedded among Russians at all levels, just as the opposing nazi alliance bolsters each other. Africans, Serbs, Iranians serve in the SMO too, and from official cadre to official cadre. Folks got a taste for nazi blood!

      There are many possibilities. This is one:

      📜 Patiently Waiting to Strike

      “By any reasonable logic of conflict, the Russians would be well within their natural rights to strike back at the US/NATO ISR assets that have played such an essential role in several damaging attacks against them.”

      I have written many times over the past two years about what is arguably the single most important component of US/NATO military involvement in the Ukraine War: its Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) assets that have been omnipresent on the battlefield from the very beginning.

      I have frequently expressed my expectation that the Russians would eventually feel compelled to “do something about it”.

      Up until now the most they have done is down an MQ-9 surveillance drone over the Black Sea, by the novel method of buzzing it with an Su-27, dowsing it with jet fuel, and possibly even giving it a wingtip nudge.

      But the serious platforms — the RQ-4 unmanned drones and the various crewed jets packed with electronic gadgetry — have been permitted to operate more or less unhindered.

      Or at least we can say none have been shot down yet.

      We are not privy to the knowledge of how successful the Russians have been so far in developing effective countermeasures to NATO ISR.

      Of course, these aircraft are flying either in “international airspace” or (primarily) in the airspace of Romania and Poland.

      That said, THIS IS WAR. And little diplomatic niceties like “protected airspace” lose their meaning in war. If you don’t believe me, review the history of what the United States, Britain, and Israel (among others) have done over the course of the past several decades.

      There is no court in this world that can adjudicate, let alone enforce its judgments upon nations at war. Only the victors get to designate and hang the guilty when the cannons fall silent.

      By any reasonable logic of conflict, the Russians would be well within their natural rights to strike back at the US/NATO ISR assets that have played such an essential role in several damaging attacks against them — in most cases directly providing requisite intelligence, surveillance, targeting data, and even real-time guidance to NATO-provided (and often NATO-operated) weapons intended to kill Russians.

      So why hasn’t Russia forcibly eliminated this paramount element of the military force arrayed against it?

      The primary answer is undoubtedly that they have made a firm strategic decision to carefully manage the escalation of this conflict from the relatively confined borders of a proxy war in eastern Ukraine to a regional or global conflagration that could conceivably put in play the risk of a major nuclear exchange.

      That, of course, is inarguably a very prudent strategic judgment.

      On the other hand, this war — against almost all expectation around the world — has revealed the acute weaknesses inherent in what was previously imagined to be “full-spectrum” American military dominance.

      Simultaneous to this exposure of the myth of American military supremacy, it has conversely been revealed that the Russians are considerably more than “a gas station with nukes”. Anyone who does not by now recognize the degree to which Russian military, economic, and industrial power has grown over the course of this war is either embarrassingly ignorant or blinded by mindless prejudice.

      Consequent to these developments, the Russians have been waxing increasingly bold in both their rhetoric and their publicly proclaimed objectives.

      Foremost among those increasingly explicit objectives is that Russia regards itself, Belarus, and much of the Ukraine as one people and one nation, and they fully intend to return to what they consider the status quo ante.

      In my estimation, this objective is one that has now become “non-negotiable” for the Russians. According to whatever timetable they have established, they will eventually move to militarily subdue and politically subsume everything east of the Dnieper River, as well as the Black Sea coastal regions all the way to the Danube, including Transnistria.

      They will very likely also move to secure a “demilitarized zone” that reaches much further west than the Dnieper, and demand “neutrality in perpetuity” for whatever Ukrainian rump-state remains.

      And when the realization of this objective draws nearer and nearer to being a fait accompli, we can be almost certain that the empire and its obeisant European vassals will do something stupid, and bring to pass some level of direct warfare between them and the Russians.

      If and when that happens, then we will see the Russians finally move decisively against the US/NATO ISR assets in the region. And they will do so with at least two full years of battlefield experience, careful observations of its weaknesses, and competent adaptation and innovation cultivated by that analysis.

      Will Schryver’s thoughts above about the timing of Russia’s attacking the USUK ISR mirrors the strategy of the other members of the Axes of Resistance.

      Do you see how all Zion’s been petrified and in limbo and overtly dissolving, waiting for the Iranian retaliation?? And the sheer terror that made the US Navy flee the Red Sea FOR GOOD?

      So has USUK and their NATZO poodles been terrified of this coming move — since 2022! What was the first thing the new Russian Defense Minister did when appointed? He had a pleasant conversation with Lord Lloyd — and unmanned drones stopped over the Black Sea FOR GOOD.

      What has happened to USUK since 22.02.2022? They’ve been shown to be impotent in land war, sea war and air war, in addition to modern war against peers with industrial warfare capabilities.. without their majors being engaged or their cities and lands being touched and even without undue fuss.. it is like being declawed, defanged, and now waiting to be blinded!

      Even before that horror, they’ve been shown to be impotent to stop any desired advance on any threatre.

      What good is ISR against drone swarms, precision missiles and hypersonics —  new offensive tools since 2014, and cheap and of greater quantities than they could ever match?? All ISR can do is record the incoming Iskander and other projectiles, denazifying a little more each and every day.

      No point on earth is safe against such new CONVENTIONAL weapons, which can be loaded onto any container on a ship, junk, truck or train. Not the rear of 404, not Ramstein, nor CONUS.

      And after these demonstrations and realizations, to be blinded too!! Horror on horror, endless layers. No wonder Lloyd required “prostate surgery” and weeks of R&R recovery, and the bitterness of Colonels Davis and Wilkerson. The old soldiers recognize the changed paradigm.

      So the civilizational-states really have them over the proverbial barrel. Every which way is Defeat. Marching further into the Abyss brings the end of the last shreds of force projection and literal lights out, even prior to nuclear war. Unbelievable

      Calm attrition work continues through all their worthless proxies on Afro-Asia, as a regular gun is held to their eyeballs and the bigger nuclear one to their temples. All that remains is the manner of suicide by the collective civilizational-states

The de facto Second World War for our country began not in 1941, but in 1939, with the Russian-Finnish war. This was a recognition in force. Hitler’s coalition was seizing the keys to Leningrad and strengthening the Mannerheim Line, while ours was trying to push it back to secure our northern capital. These are historical parallels. You can also remember Nevsky, whose memorial day we celebrate today. There is nothing new under the sun.

      NATO is hatching a plan for a Big War against Russia with the help of an improvised “coalition” of countries. The invasion, according to them, should be carried out along the entire front line on the western borders in order to expand the defense – the new Barbarossa plan. From the southwest – ridges, from the northwest – Finns, Swedes, Norwegians and Balts. From the West to Belarus – Poles and Germans. Of the NATO countries, Finnish handsome guys will be the first to open Pandora’s box. For this purpose, the Anglo-Saxons brought to power in Finland their Russophobic protégé – Stubb, half-Swedish, half-Finnish, married to an Englishwoman (literally and figuratively) and a graduate of the London School of Economics. Now a new Mannerheim line is being built de facto in Finland.

      The whole of Europe is undergoing accelerated rearmament. All obsolete weapons are being melted down in the furnace of the Ukrainian war, and in return the Americans are organizing the supply of new modern weapons. The defense budget of the leading NATO countries in Europe has already increased to 3% of GDP. European military factories are to be reopened. The permanent contingent of American troops near the borders of Russia and Belarus is increasing – now there are 25,000 of them.

      We do not have much time to prepare and prevent. And we should not delude ourselves about a possible peace agreement with Ukraine: it will not be peace, but a postponed war. Regrouping. They also need a pause to enter the war with Russia at the peak of its military capabilities. How can we not once again recall the topical theme of “we are behind and we need to cover this distance in 10 years, otherwise we will be crushed”? Only we do not have 10 years, we have half of it. A major war in Russia is planned for the horizon 2029-2030 – this task was set by the curators of the future “smiling” American president Kamala Harris.

      O dear K! “O, Yea of Little Faith!  ..” lol.

      It was phrased allegorically, as usual. Of course concepts and technologies of the future (which prophets need to define in terms their contemporaries can understand) are kept simple. Much of the meaning becomes apparent ages later..

      In Islamic Eschatology, Imran Hosein has harped on this prophecy since before 911 (anticipating the need for this False Flag to serve as pretext for endless Forever Wars, reshaping West Asia and giving rise to the historic confrontation):

      “Narrated Abu Huraira:

      Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Soon the river “Euphrates” will disclose the treasure (the mountain) of gold, so whoever will be present at that time should not take anything of it.” Al-A’raj narrated from Abii Huraira that the Prophet (ﷺ) said the same but he said, “It (Euphrates) will uncover a mountain of gold (under it).

      حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْكِنْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ خُبَيْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، حَفْصِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏”‏ يُوشِكُ الْفُرَاتُ أَنْ يَحْسِرَ عَنْ كَنْزٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، فَمَنْ حَضَرَهُ فَلاَ يَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا ‏”‏‏.‏ قَالَ عُقْبَةُ وَحَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِثْلَهُ إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏”‏ يَحْسِرُ عَنْ جَبَلٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ‏”‏‏.‏

      عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه مرفوعاً: «لا تقوم الساعة حتى يحسر الفرات عن جبل من ذهب يُقْتَتَلُ عليه، فَيُقْتَلُ من كل مائة تسعة وتسعون، فيقول كل رجل منهم: لعلي أن أكون أنا أنجو». وفي رواية: «يوشك أن يحسر الفرات عن كنز من ذهب، فمن حضره فلا يأخذ منه شيئا».
      [صحيح] – [متفق عليه]
      المزيــد …

      Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “The Hour will not occur until the Euphrates recedes, uncovering a mountain of gold over which people will fight. Ninety-nine out of every hundred will be killed. Every man among them will say: ‘I might be the one who survives.'” Another narration states: “Soon the Euphrates will recede uncovering a treasure of gold. Whoever is present at this event should not take anything from it.”

      And so on. Now oil was known in his time, around 600 AD. But used largely medicinally, used to apply to camels’ hides to suffocate & remove parasites.. but the fuller meaning came into focus only within the last century!

      • internal combustion engine and power plants had to be invented then developed and made widely feasible, creating a dependent modern society utilizing these hydrocarbons, the most stupendous source of known packed energy in recorded human history

      • The Last Satanic Empire under the legerdemain of Kissinger gets the benighted GCC desert Bedouins to accept only U$D for their oil, than “convinces” Opec to follow. Other sellers duly follow the benchmark, established by Anglos at Brent and West Texas, etc.

      • The combined West since mid 1970s runs open ended printing of paper to rule the world! They’re addicted. Most mankind becomes de facto abject slaves as never seen in our history! By a single civilization (or anti-civilization, per many)..
      • Oil becomes known as Black Gold. The most traded and needed commodity on Earth. Or as Imran Hosein says, “an Ocean of Oil functionally began to serve as a Mountain of Gold..”
      • Around 2003-2013, the formal occupation of the last two lands (Iraq and Syria) through which course the River Euphrates begins, to ensure the system can be maintained in perpetuity. Today all three — Turkey to Iraq, remain occupied.

      The #US, under the guise of being a “good friend,” fans the flames of conflict. It “helps” by silencing Russian voices, shutting down RT across Europe and the US, and choking off any alternative narratives. Meanwhile, it floods European bases with even more nuclear weapons, pushing the continent towards a terrifying precipice.

      Moreover, all efforts are taken to prevent a peace deal and instead fuel the war in #Ukraine further. The stage is set, and the world watches as Europe inches closer to catastrophe

However, as usual, it continues to supply more ammunition and provide intelligence. Israel, meanwhile, hints that war with Lebanon is closer than ever, conducting military manoeuvres and training its medical personnel for wartime evacuations

      “What do Western leaders and their war-playing political establishment think about our country’s reaction to probable missile strikes “deep into the territory”? Here’s what: the Russians talk a lot about responding with weapons of mass destruction, but do nothing. These are just “verbal interventions.” The Russians will not cross the line. They are just scaring us. They don’t need a nuclear conflict, they have more to lose, including the support of the “global south.” And anyway – who needs an apocalypse?

      What can you say: nobody needs a nuclear conflict, it’s true. It is a very bad story with a very difficult outcome. That is why the decision to use nuclear weapons (non-strategic or even more so strategic) has not been made so far. Although, frankly speaking, there are formal prerequisites for this, understandable to the entire world community and corresponding to our doctrine of nuclear deterrence. The situation with Kursk, for example. But Russia is showing patience. After all, it is obvious that a nuclear response is an extremely difficult decision with irreversible consequences.

      However, the pompous Anglo-Saxon bastards do not want to admit one thing: any patience comes to an end. And those moderate Western analysts who warned will ultimately be right: “Yes, the Russians will most likely not respond in this way… although there is still a possibility. Besides, the response could also be using new means of delivery in non-nuclear equipment.”

      They advanced along the coast, but quickly ran out of steam when they came up against urban development. The fighting lasted from June to November 2018 and ended with the overall defeat of the Saudi coalition, which was assisted by the US and Israel.

      In addition, Israel has set up an intelligence base on the UAE-occupied Yemeni island of Socotra. So if the Houthis are indeed moving something to the borders of Israel, then this is a very peculiar historical boomerang. However, let’s wait for official statements from the Houthis’ comrades.

      ⭕ US crackdown on Russian media reveals fear, insecurity of dying empire – ex-CIA analyst

      “Freedom of speech in America is under assault,” former US State Department official and retired CIA intelligence officer Larry Johnson told Sputnik, commenting on the new sanctions against Russian media announced by Secretary of State Antony Blinken. “I’m waiting to see if they’re going to come down and sanction me, for example, for daring to appear on RT and offer commentary.”

      “This really is divorced from reality,” he continued, questioning the influence of the Russian-sponsored television network which ceased operations in the United States in 2022. Other analysts have suggested the move is intended to ramp up Russiagate hysteria leading up to November’s election.

      Never during the height of the Cold War did the United States ever take such drastic measures with respect to entities like Pravda and Tass,” Johnson claimed, referring to the two famous news outlets that operated from the Soviet Union. “Back then the United States had enough confidence in its own power of personal freedom that they didn’t have to worry about [that], they weren’t so insecure. What this reflects is just… one more symptom of a dying empire where they have to go out and attack others.”

      “The only thing that can kill free speech is this kind of persecution. It’s irrational. And again, I think it’s a symptom of a weakness on the part of the United States. Weakness and fear. That’s where this originates… the United States is acknowledging that what it can’t handle is the truth.”   |media|
      ⭕ 🇺🇸 Restricting freedom while proclaiming it: an expert on US sanctions against Russian media

      Despite America’s constant rhetoric about freedom of speech and a free press, its actions tell a different story. The US has imposed more sanctions on foreign media than any other country, particularly targeting Russian outlets, according to Shoeib Bahman, an Iranian expert on Eurasian political processes.

      💬 “Even the current actions of America in imposing sanctions against various Russian media outlets show that it is having difficulties even in relation to Russia’s soft power and wants to limit this soft power or media influence as much as possible,” Bahman told Sputnik.

      At the heart of the Ukraine conflict, Bahman argued, is US involvement from the very beginning. He pointed out that “military actions in Ukraine began at the initiative and instigation of the United States,” and it is America’s financial and military support to the Zelensky government that has prolonged and worsened the hostilities.

      Storm Shadow has been a bust.

      There are no precise statistics, but my conservative estimate is that the Storm Shadow missiles may have successfully hit “something” about 30 times.

      At least 300 have been delivered.

      About 300 have been launched.

      That’s a 90% failure rate.
      [response to:

      – What about mobile launchers within the woods?

      They’re pushing stupid propaganda to escalate and destroy Ukraine!

      The fact that it also makes it impossible for Putin to launch tactical nuclear missiles against the country should have made this a no-brainer from the very beginning.””]
      ⭕ 🤔 Go Big or Go Home

      I was just thinking …

      If indeed a British Storm Shadow missile achieves a significant strike against a Russian target …

      And if the Russians then opt to retaliate in the context of “a state of war” …

      Well … if I were in Putin’s shoes, and I concluded a counterstrike was imperative, I would go big. Not too big. But a LOT bigger than was expected.

      I’d sink one of the pathetic new UK aircraft carriers with a long-range missile strike. A full salvo of at least half a dozen large warheads. Maybe a full dozen just to be sure.

      Make a large point. From air, land, and naval vectors.

      Do the job right the first time.

      It would be a radically sobering global event.

      Many of the elite power centers in Britain would privately praise the deed of putting one of those pathetic “ships” out of its misery.

      The Americans would bloviate and bluster about “preserving the rules-based international order”, and then they would, over the course of a few weeks, trace a delicate retreat.

      As I’ve said repeatedly, the US military only has one major campaign left in them. A very brief campaign.

      The choice is between Russia, China, and Iran.

      And, in my view, Russia is the LEAST attractive option.

      Sinking an effectively derelict British aircraft carrier would render it out of the question.
      ⭕ 📜 To Nuke or Not to Nuke?

      That is the question on the minds of many people as they consider the possibilities of open war breaking out between America et al. and Russia et al.

      Would conventional war between the United States and the Russian Federation inevitably lead to a nuclear clash?

      A great many people are convinced that it would. I understand their reasoning. And I can certainly envision multiple plausible scenarios that might very well lead to such an outcome. I will discuss a few of them further below. But first a few thoughts in preface:

      Resorting to nuclear weapons is a “point-of-no-return” decision.

      It’s a murder-suicide move.

      And I strongly doubt any of the great nuclear powers are suicidal.

      I have also long entertained the admittedly romantic notion that both the Americans and the Russians would much prefer to test their mettle mano a mano on the field of conventional battle.

      The Americans fancy themselves the greatest empire and the mightiest military power the world has ever seen. American folklore (the word for “history” in American English) has imbued them with the conviction that Americans are a great and noble warrior nation.

      Religious and irreligious; ascetic and hedonistic; rich and poor — and all points in between — the vast majority of Americans subscribe to an ontological ethos that presupposes the exceptionalism of America and its unique mission to spread freedom and democracy across the globe.

      Russians, on the other hand, see themselves as yet again the target of a messianic western hegemon that despises them as inferior, and covets the almost limitless natural treasures of their vast territory.

      Russians also see themselves — and justifiably so — as the decisive victor in great wars against a messianic western hegemon in both the 19th and 20th centuries. From their perspective here in the 21st century, they are facing yet a third iteration of this centuries-old conflict.

      In other words, Russia is convinced they are already engaged in war against the American Empire, and it has the same existential quality they associate with the previous attempts to conquer and divide them.

      Consequently, they have been furiously preparing since early summer 2022 for the distinct possibility that, sooner or later, the Americans would feel compelled to escalate beyond the machinations of sustaining a proxy force, and would directly intervene militarily in order to “save the day”.

      Back in April 2023, I wrote at length on this reality: Russia Is Winning with One Hand Tied Behind Its Back. (https://imetatronink.substack.com/p/volodymyr-oleksandrovychs-last-dance)

      Meanwhile the Russians have continued to methodically grind down the empire’s proxy army. They have decisively repulsed and comprehensively destroyed the third and final reconstitution of its NATO-supplied strength.

      And contrary to the widespread belief among the misinformed masses of “experts” and casual observers in the west, Russia has not suffered a “strategic defeat” nor has its military capability and its productive capacity been diminished.

      From a military and industrial standpoint, Russia is stronger, relative to its adversaries, than at any time since the height of Soviet power, and its progress towards even greater strength is accelerating.

      And, perhaps most significantly, Russian sense of purpose and unity has not, since the Great Patriotic War, been embraced with such conviction by such a high percentage of the Russian populace.

      They devoutly believe their cause is just.

      And although history attests the Russians can often be slow to harness, once they become a team in harmony, they transform into a nimble, heavy-fisted, and highly resourceful military force.

      By deliberately bringing to pass this war in Ukraine, the fools calling the shots in the halls of empire have instead brought into being a confident and assertive Russia that has trebled in relative strength over the past two years of high-intensity conflict.

      Whereas the US and its European NATO vassals have seen their arsenals severely attrited and the mediocrity of their fragile and inefficacious machines exposed over the past two years, Russian equipment has proven durable and highly effective for the required tasks of 21st century industrial warfare, even as they have rapidly achieved an industrial scale of war production.

      And whereas the supposed geniuses of NATO have seen three successive iterations of their material and tactical handiwork get systematically shredded by the Russian way of war, the Russians have adapted, innovated, and produced at scale to a degree the west simply cannot match now, and could not act to match anytime soon.

      So that’s where we stand here in early 2024.

      The Russians are winning the war in Ukraine, and winning it big. They will, on whatever timetable they choose, dictate the terms of its ultimate resolution.

      On the broader geopolitical and diplomatic front, they are winning the war even bigger.

      As are the Chinese and the Iranians.

      The Russia, China, Iran axis that is rapidly solidifying is, by far, the most potent adversary western hegemony has faced since its inception centuries ago.

      And that brings us to my list of plausible scenarios for nuclear war.

      The only plausible scenarios I can envision for nuclear war presuppose the first use will be initiated by the #EmpireAtAllCosts cult.

      Russia has no need to resort to nuclear weapons. It is securely fixed on a trajectory to total victory — even if the US et al. prove foolish enough to intervene directly in a conventional war against them.

      The most unpredictable and therefore worrisome scenario entails tactical nuclear weapons being introduced into the Ukraine war via some rogue actor. [say “Hi” to Uncle Bibi, or Admiral Radakin!]

      There are several prohibitive logistical and tactical considerations that come to my mind when I consider this possibility, but in the final analysis it occurs to me there is only one reality that matters:

      ANY detonation of a nuclear weapon against a Russian target will be automatically regarded, by the Russians, as a nuclear first strike by the US/NATO.

      Therefore, providing Ukraine with nuclear weapons would be tantamount to intentionally provoking a full-scale nuclear counterstrike.

      Is there some locus of power in the world that is able and willing to do such a thing?

      I sure hope not.

      As for all the other plausible scenarios for nuclear war — scenarios involving deliberate state actors — I can only repeat what I wrote at the beginning:

      Resorting to nuclear weapons is a “point-of-no-return” decision.

      It’s a murder-suicide move.

      And I strongly doubt any of the great nuclear powers are suicidal.  [what of envious little powers, eager to reduce the world to profit their Moshiach??]

      At least not yet.

We haven’t spoken of the enemy’s losses until verifying the intel from a multiplicity of sources to maintain credibility, and now our intel from inside Palestine and foreign sources overlap with Al-Mayadeen’s report

      Situation in the Borok area, Kursk Oblast

      According to one of the commanders, the situation has increasingly resembled a sports safari, where the “game” consists of Ukrainian Armed Forces [+ NATO] personnel. Our fighters are practically competing with each other in speed to destroy the enemy.

      A real case: one unit detected a target but didn’t even manage to deploy artillery before a neighboring FPV drone arrived and “claimed the prize.”

      Russian forces have a significant advantage in artillery.

      According to radio interceptions and personal observations from some fighters, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have become afraid to move their equipment, understanding that it automatically makes them a priority target, and they are confiscating civilian transport from the local population.

      In place of well-trained Ukrainian units, mobilized “country folk” have been deployed, which has significantly simplified the task for our forces and allowed them to carry out bold but highly effective actions that cannot yet be disclosed.

      Nevertheless, the situation remains complex, but Russian troops are leading it towards an inevitable resolution with a complete clearance of Kursk Oblast from enemy forces.

      ⭕️ Breaking News:

      – The “Stars and Stripes” newspaper, affiliated with the U.S. Department of Defense, reports that the U.S. Navy is preparing to assign “chaplains” aboard all destroyers to provide psychological support to soldiers.

      — The Navy has initiated mental health initiatives following a wave of suicide cases aboard aircraft carriers recently.

      – Admiral Gregory Todd, Chief of Chaplains in the U.S. Navy: We have designated chaplains for the destroyers while stationed in the Red Sea.

      — The chaplains have been going to combat centers to encourage Navy personnel during attacks in the Red Sea.

      – The National Interest magazine reports that while these aircraft carriers have formed the backbone of the U.S. Navy’s offensive capability for decades, new attack methods, such as drones and advanced missile systems, threaten to undermine their defenses.

      – Emerging technologies like hypersonic missiles are particularly concerning because they can move unpredictably at high speeds, making it difficult for U.S. aircraft carriers to counter them.

      – The role of aircraft carriers has become outdated in the face of these threats, indicating a need for a strategic reassessment to avoid potential losses in future conflicts.

      – Why might the era of U.S. Navy aircraft carriers be nearing its end? Because they are large, slow, and difficult to maneuver in battles, and they are relatively easy to track.

      – Today, aircraft carriers have become larger and more complex than ever before, making them more susceptible to America’s growing enemies. Many rightfully question whether the exorbitant maintenance costs are truly worth the effort.

      – The U.S. Navy and its allies have had to confront a growing menace in the Red Sea: unmanned systems like drone submarines.

      – Most naval experts confirm that drone submarines are difficult to detect and counter, while unmanned boats have also raised the level of threat faced by U.S. aircraft carriers.

      – The presence of aircraft carriers in contested areas is a real threat to them, and this threat has been evident in the Red Sea.

      — Regardless of what Navy engineers may claim about the resilience of aircraft carriers, no commander wants to test these assertions in reality.

      – The threat posed by drones, much like that posed by submarines and unmanned boats, is extremely serious and cannot be ignored. This is why the Navy continues to downplay the threat publicly, but America’s enemies are beginning to recognize this issue.

      – Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent to ensure that aircraft carriers can defend themselves against ballistic missile and cruise missile attacks, but hypersonic weapons have thrown all of that out the window.

      Those who know us well know that we could never back down in the battlefield or abandon Gaza

      This is a gas fired power plant, so these pipes probably carry fuel for it. If so, this hit is pretty significant. Fires are continuing to burn.

      The image shows how close this power plant is to the center of Tel Aviv. This represents a significant accomplishment from Yemen, striking directly at the heart of the Zionist regime. It also represents another failure for their air defense, which was supposed to be the best American taxes could buy.
      ⭕⚡️ 🔹Kan Hebrew Channel: The Iron Dome and Arrow systems failed in their attempts to intercept the ballistic missile launched from #Yemen. 
      ⭕ This is the Gezer power plant, which was hit today by a Yemeni ballistic missile. When you zoom in, the only structures that look anything like the ones in the video are right about dead center in the middle of the plant.

      Astonishing accuracy from Yemen. They hit the plant right next to the turbines themselves. If you look closely at the image, you can see the two smokestacks marking the location of the gas turbines that generate the power. The pipes and related infrastructure are just below those, probably the fuel pipes feeding into the turbines.

      This might not seem like high precision compared to some of the top of the line military hardware, but consider the source.

      The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) salutes with all pride and honor, the brave Yemeni people and their valiant Armed Forces, who once again demonstrated their ability to penetrate deep into the zionist entity and bypass American and Western defenses by launching a ballistic missile that struck the capital of the fabricated entity. This new qualitative operation has proven Yemen’s capability to enhance the deterrence equation against the occupation and deliver a powerful response to the occupation’s crime of bombing Al-Hodeidah port and the genocide against our Palestinian people.

      This operation has left the zionist enemy in a state of shock and confusion, once again revealing the fragility of its defense system, which has long relied on support from the United States and its allies.

      This missile strike comes as part of the continued Yemeni front of support and the strikes from the Axis of Resistance in response to the zionist genocide war against our people and in support of the resistance. The Yemeni armed forces have pledged to impose a naval blockade on the occupation and strike anyone who challenges this blockade.

      Through this operation, the Yemeni forces have sent a strong message to the zionist occupation, stating that any aggression against Yemen or Gaza will not go unpunished, and the occupation’s losses will be severe at all levels and in the heart of the entity.

      This qualitative operation also affirms that the American-zionist aggression on Yemen has failed to achieve its goals of breaking Yemen’s will or affecting its operations in support of Gaza.

      The zionist reliance on American and Western defense systems, or the crimes of their allies against Yemen, has failed to protect the zionist entity. The Yemeni ballistic message today is clear and unequivocal: “Stop the aggression on Gaza immediately, or Yemen’s responses will continue, intensify, and penetrate deeper into the zionist entity.

      The “israeli” enemy should not rely on its defense systems from now on.

      Yemen previously succeeded in sending the Yaffa drone to its target and will use new weapons to target a strategic bank of objectives. The enemy cannot predict the timing and location of the upcoming operations.

      Yemen has developed new technologies, some of which were used to target American warships at sea, which failed to intercept these technologies.

      The Yemeni army is carefully studying the enemy’s defense systems, just as it previously studied the defense systems of American warships in the Red Sea.
      ⭕ 🚨 Exclusive Yemeni sources to Al-Mayadeen (2/2):

      The military statement from the Yemeni Armed Forces will reveal the details, the target of the operation, the weapons used, and other messages.

      The “israeli” enemy and all those residing in occupied Palestine should expect the worst as long as the aggression on the Gaza Strip and the West Bank continues.

      Yemen is preparing for war with the enemy using multi-faceted tactics, fully aware that the war will be prolonged, and is building its strategic military capabilities based on this understanding.

      Yemeni weapons will continue targeting the bank of targets that has been carefully planned, both in Yaffa and beyond.

      Yemen will not settle for a single target and reaffirms to the enemy that Yaffa is not safe. The enemy must take this threat seriously.
      2,365,000 settlers entered shelters due to the Yemeni ballistic missile that hit its target southeast of “Tel Aviv.” The target is reportedly near Route 1 between occupied #AlQuds [Jerusalem] and “Tel Aviv,” where the first video was filmed from.

      If true, note zionazis said Yemeni missile came in from EAST. Last time, when they used the drone to also hit Tel Aviv, they came in from the west… so this missile really must have ve traveled over Saudi and Jordan, among top two guarded air defenses of the Last Satanic Empire. Unbelievable. And in daylight. A double Dubya one-finger salute


      It was a masterstroke to send this missile today, not only for the day of religious symbolism, but on the cusp of Totalen Krieg on Hezbollah and Iran. This expands, nay blows up the concept of “whack-a-mole” for Zion. Imagine their anxiety and psychosis levels, beyond chemical remedy. And Yemen is quite far for it to try to subdue even if not tied down on five other local fronts! Zugzwang

      The United States is drafting a “New York Joint Declaration,” obtained by Politico, to be signed later this month on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, September 22-25. EU member states are in the process of agreeing to join the pledge.

      Countries signing the declaration would require network operators to implement supply chain and data security measures and share information in the event of an incident, according to the draft.

      The New York statement aims to acquire submarine cable networks from companies in allied countries, echoing efforts by Western countries in recent years to push Chinese companies out of 5G infrastructure.

      Concerns about Chinese equipment focus on fears that rising Chinese suppliers will completely capture the market.

      Controlling the supply chain means the West would be relying on technology that China could stop supplying at any time, or the Chinese government could order suppliers to stop installing cables.

        Hi cronetoo and thanks.

        The man is a little hysterical and he plays all the parts. He knows what everyone did and said and we could all have been dead this morning, except he knows the exact missile Russia would use and we will not have been dead as they would not have used nukes. He even knows what they said in the so-called back-channels and exactly what Russia would hit.

        We know what Russia said. We posted it up last week –

        Russia’s response to long-range weapons supplies to Kiev will be brutal — MFA

        Very Important: President Putin answers a media question regarding Western long range weapons – The state of the war

        and there was more – Medvedev as well.

        We know who is handling the one back channel (and Dmitry Peskov told us that) – Patrushev talks to Lloyd Austin. But Peskov also told us that there is almost zero contact as they have nothing to talk about.

        We also know that Russia as a whole says they have no contact with the US. And suddenly now a back-channel saved all the western butts?

        Russia has opened up its communication. They tell everybody everything. OK; not everything but their people know what this war is all about as they keep them highly informed.

        So Scott thinks the UK and the US and NATO are stepping back. I say they are simply buying time as they are doing with their so-called peace negotiations in Cairo. They are in a messy situation but I don’t think they’ve given up. They are crazy. There is also an election coming and they want to show the American voters a win. The UK, Starmer? he is just about worthless already. Trump was whining that he will do bad things to anyone that goes for de-dollarization. The US society is broken into a number of pieces, all fighting for money and their lives. They are trying to win somewhere and they have their tame proxy in the Ukraine who is still not defanged.

        I say all these things because Russia will not just shoot.

        Russia, all of the senior states people said that the decision to use long-range missiles had been taken, and they would act upon execution of that decision. And perhaps a pre-emptive strike or strikes would be on the cards (nobody actually said that – it is just what I think).

        We know what Russia’s nuclear policy is now – if a missile comes into Russia, they will treat it as if it is nuclear. We also know that they are reworking their nuclear stance.

        And even China, on the first page of Global Times is talking about the threats of the US and UK.

        One cannot talk about back-channels while you play all the parts of your story.

        I find that Scott is hysterical, his story does not fully hang together, he is putting words in everyone’s mouth and he is fanning the flames of fear.

        If there is a stepping back, and I think it is a buying time manoevre, it is because of this: President Vladimir Putin proposed to “think” about the possibility of limiting the supply of strategic raw materials to foreign markets, such as uranium, nickel, titanium and a number of others, provided that this would not harm the Russian economy.

        In Europe, things are also changing after the previous EU elections. There are more people refusing a war. How long this will last I don’t know because in Germany they are trying to use legal warfare to get Sarah Wagenknechts party outlawed. But there are changes. The one country, I forget which one now, is offering a bunch of money to get the Ukrainians to go back to Ukraine.

        But Scott is hysterical here and we may contemplate why but I’m not going to.

        This all does not mean that I do not understand the highly dangerous period that we are in vis a vis nuclear action.

BreakThrough News interviews a professor and a student organizer from San Francisco State University, which just agreed to divest from Israel completely, as a result of activist action.

      I didn’t know, but SFSU has a long record of political activism, radical in the sixties and ever since. The student speaks of the activism having only just begun, and how the movement must and will grow across the nation, joining even with Labor – “We can’t do it without labor,” he says – Joti Brar would love this video.
