This theatrical act suggests that Saudi Arabia will be portrayed as the reason behind the ceasefire in Gaza, positioning it as a national hero that takes center stage, despite the fact that the Saudi, Emirati, and all Arab states have turned a blind eye to the numerous atrocities and rivers of blood shed against our brothers in Gaza during the lengthy period of 405 days of Israeli aggression against civilians.

💠 @DDGeopolitics:
⭕ A summary of resistance activities for 11/11/2024. Hezbollah claimed 22 attacks today, plus 11 from the other resistance factions, for a total of 33.

Hezbollah launched an enormous rocket attack today, with hundreds of rockets targeting Haifa, Kiryat Kam and Akka. Iron dome was rapidly overwhelmed, video evidence confirms dozens of hits and causalities. It is unknown if anything important was hit, but several fires broke out in Haifa. It is worth pointing out that attacks marked as rocket barrages could be anywhere from 1 to hundreds of rockets, and could potentially involve dozens of launchers.

Today was a busy day in Gaza. There were a total of three ambushes on enemy armor, two Merkavas (a Mk4 and Mk3, indicating that the IOF is running low on armor) and a Namer APC. The vehicles were hit and there were causalities.

One thing that we should all remember when it comes to armor is that tanks and APCs can be “knocked out” many times, then recovered, repaired and returned to service. A tank that is hit does not necessarily mean destroyed. This is not uncommon at all for units serving in combat, where a huge variety of hazards ranging from barbed wire in their tracks to enemy action can knock them out. Unless something either detonates their ammo or just blows them to pieces (and this would take a big hit), the tank can generally be repaired, and will be. The resistance, owing to their nature as guerrilla fighters, do not stick around long enough to prevent recovery. So, when the resistance knocks out a tank, it will almost always be recovered eventually.

It seems that the IOF finally captured the heights overlooking Kfarkela (Kila), Lebanon, as IOF infantry was targeted there today by a Hezbollah missile. The IOF has been fighting in this area since the beginning, and was constantly ambushed there. Yesterday, they were ambushed and shelled three times on the outskirts of the city, likely by Hezbollah soldiers on the hills. Hezbollah targeted two armored vehicles on the hill several hours apart, indicating that at least one attack was repelled.

The Iraqi resistance launched at least 6 drones at the Zionists today, although as usual they said nothing about what was targeted and if it was hit. This amounts to 43 attacks in 11 days, although we have very little information about the results.

The Yemeni armed forces launched a ballistic missile at the IOF Nahal Sorek military base, about half way between Jaffa (Tel Aviv) and Al-Quds (Jerusalem.) The Zionists claim an interception, however the missile started a fire in the area. It is important to remember that even when they are shot down, missiles have to fall somewhere, and it is possible for an intercepted missile to still cause considerable damage.

All in all, it was a busy and productive day for the resistance!

⭕ ⚡️ Unobtainium

Colby essentially acknowledges the reality that, among many options, the US can choose one — and ONLY ONE — overseas war to fight.

However, he blinds himself to the reality that in order to prosecute this “ONE WAR”, it would be necessary for the US to effectively vacate every major American military base on the planet — there would be no other way to generate a force sufficient to even attempt war against Russia, China, or Iran.

And even though it would take at least a year to concentrate such a force in any of those putative theaters of battle, the US strategy will necessarily depend upon quick victory, which they cannot obtain.

And they simply cannot sustain a protracted high-intensity campaign against ANY of their adversary choices.

Defeat lurks behind every door in this game. And afterwards, the US will be effectively disarmed in terms of expeditionary warfare for at least a generation.

This is the cold hard reality of the situation at present, and I defy Colby or any of his fellow #EmpireAtAllCosts disciples to counter the many arguments I have made to that effect.

I will link to my latest in the reply to this post.
🔻The #EmpireAtAllCosts cult is more desperate than ever to find a war it can fight to restore its fortunes and prestige.

But there are #NoEasyWarsLeftToFight.
⭕‼️ Some have interpreted my longstanding criticisms of Elbridge Colby as a blanket condemnation of everything he says and writes. That is not the case. I agree with many of his arguments. I simply believe he holds to fatal fallacies that trump everything else, and dangerously so.
⭕ 💥 If the US wants to take on Russia, this is a taste of what the battlefield will be like.

If the US wants to take on China instead, it will be an order of magnitude more massive.

So let the US Army make you “all you can be” if that’s your thing, but you won’t be around long. |media|
🔻 C1: The US military has no remote clue about real war. Instead, larping as a combat hardened Call of Duty troop during low intensity conflicts for decades, fighting against insurgency or disorganized, I’ll-equipped forces. Ukranian troops have significantly more actual combat experience than anyone currently serving or had served for the past fifty years. Trench warfare and all of its trimmings is by far the most brutal, most barbaric form of warfare ever devised, outside of chem or bio-warfare
🔻 WS: I agree the Ukrainian army, until mid-2022, was the most powerful military on the European continent, ex-Russia.

Now three subsequent iterations of that army (all increasingly NATO-armed and trained) have been destroyed. The AFU is a spent force. They should surrender en masse.
🔻 C1: Agreed. And I should have stated that the Ukrainian military was the most seasoned combat force in a half century. But today, I don’t know how many have survived the onslaught that can come forward to make the claim of battle hardened. We are well north of 500k Ukraine KIA today. To be attacked with Russian cruise, ballistic, and hypersonic missiles and mass tube artillery barrages is simply a scenario that the US military has no concept of in recent memory
🔻 C2: That is why it will take on Iran instead, the weaker of the three.

🔻 C1: Exactly! Kings or someone who’s capable to think like a king would definitely find it insightful 😉

🔻 WS: I’d also like to see the stage production of Aristophanes’ takes on the matter.

🔻 C3: Satire from satirists. Miguel De Cervantes, Joseph Heller.
🔻 WS: I think Cervantes is an excellent suggestion.
[Agreed. Spaniards among modern Europeans would do it justice.. the lighthearted and too-clever jest of Anglos or the dourness and detached spirituality of Russkies is inappropriate. You need the bleak black tones of a Bourbon subject who has seen the very Devil to find the proper words for the ongoing unique Catastrophe]
🔻 C4: George R.R. Martin or James S.A. Corey
🔻 WS: I liked your Rudyard Kipling suggestion better.

That said, Kipling already commented eloquently on one end of empire. I’d rather see Shakespeare or Dostoyevsky try their hand at the task.

Or maybe even Herman Melville.
[Yes. Alone among Anglos, the New England Puritans of the 19th Century will do too. About as tormented and wracked and attuned as medieval Spaniards — but due to the sea of their own open-eyed crimes rather than the iron boot of a demented inbred monarchy]

🔻 Caitlin Johnstone: The Incoming Trump Administration Is Already Filling Up With War Sluts

Donald Trump has named Republican congressman Mike Waltz as his next national security advisor, a position that was held by ultrahawk John Bolton in the last Trump administration.

Like Bolton, Waltz is a warmongering freak. Journalist Michael Tracey has been filling up his Twitter page since the announcement with examples of Waltz’s insane hawkishness, including his support for letting Ukraine use US weapons to strike deep into Russian territory, criticizing Biden for not escalating aggressively enough in Ukraine, advocating bombing Iran, opposing the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan, and naming Iran, North Korea, China, Russia and Venezuela as “on the march” against the United States toward global conflict. The mainstream press are calling Waltz a “China hawk”, but from the look of things he’s a war-horny hawk toward all the official enemies of the United States.

Trump has also confirmed that Republican congresswoman Elise Stefanik will be taking on the role of US ambassador to the UN, a role previously held by warmonger Nikki Haley in the last Trump administration. Again, there doesn’t seem to be much difference between the old hawk and the new one.

Stefanik is best known for her congressional efforts to stomp out free speech on college campuses, making a lie of Trump’s lip service to the importance of First Amendment rights. She’s a hawkish swamp monster whose political career was primed in some of the most odious neoconservative think tanks in Washington, and opposes placing any limits on US military support for Israel. Earlier this year Stefanik actually flew to Israel to give a speech before the Israeli Knesset vowing to help stop the “antisemitism” of protesters against Israel’s genocidal atrocities at American universities.

And now we’re getting reports throughout the mass media that deranged war slut Marco Rubio has been tapped as Trump’s new secretary of state. It’s really hard to imagine anyone worse for the role of Washington’s top diplomat than a warmonger who has spent his entire political career pushing for more wars, sanctions and slaughter at every opportunity.

This should dash the hopes of Trump supporters everywhere that this time their guy really will end the wars and drain the swamp. Trump’s appointment of Iran hawk Brian Hook to help staff the State Department for the next administration and his rumored consideration of Mike Rogers for secretary of defense are likewise bad signs, as is Tucker Carlson’s claim that virulent China hawk Elbridge Colby is likely to play a role in the administration.

Trump’s anti-interventionist supporters loudly applauded the other day when he unexpectedly announced that Mike Pompeo and Nikki Haley would not be playing a role in the next administration. In response to the announcement, libertarian comedian and podcaster Dave Smith said on Twitter that stopping Pompeo was not enough and that “we need maximum pressure to keep all neocons and war hawks out of the Trump administration.” In response to Smith’s post, Donald Trump Jr tweeted, “Agreed!!! I’m on it.”

When I saw this, I tweeted the following:

“Ignore their words and watch their actions. Been saying it for years, and I’m going to keep on saying it. Ignore their words, watch their actions. Talk, as they say, is cheap.”

Their actions are telling us a lot more than their words right now.

⭕ European leaders are experiencing a seasonal mental breakdown after Trump’s victory. Their goal is to push the conflict with Russia into an irreversible stage. One moment, the Frenchman is squawking about supporting Kiev in case America steps back; the next, NATO bosses are showing off their ‘wisdom’ by discussing how to escalate the fight with us even further.

Now, Germany’s chancellor candidate Merz is joining in with ultimatums. His message? Either you end your Special Military Operation, or I’ll hand Taurus missiles over to the Ukies the very next day. Obviously, such ‘ultimatums’ are nothing but election posturing. Clearly, these missiles won’t fundamentally alter the conflict’s trajectory. Sending them would simply prolong the suffering of the Banderite regime. What’s concerning, however, is that deploying such missiles would significantly increase the risk of this conflict reaching its most dangerous phase, as our President has warned.

It’s remarkable, really, how eager today’s European politicians seem to be to invite war onto their own soil. Notably, doing so pleases the Americans and goes against the wishes of their own people. The vaccine of World War II seems to have worn off completely. Europe’s smart, experienced leaders are gone, replaced by pathetic figures with inflated egos. And so, the worst-case scenario remains all too possible.

More than 40 Merkava tanks were hit by Hezbollah’s anti-tank guided missiles as soon as they came into view, along side with the highly-coordinated and comprehensive artillery attacks on israeli advancements and concentrations. These events unfolded right along the border, sparking concerns about the potential consequences if the operation extended further.

➡️ Hezbollah has deliberately refrained from engaging in the “Media Game,” choosing not to release videos of direct clashes or destroyed enemy equipment, despite assurances that all operations were documented. Instead, they allowed Israel to undermine its own narrative. Initially, the Israelis enthusiastically shared images of raised flags as symbols of victory. However, as it became evident that these claims amounted to little more than localized maneuvers, Hezbollah’s calculated silence exposed the lack of real gains. Recognizing this, Israel eventually ceased posting such images, effectively conceding the effectiveness of Hezbollah’s strategy.

⭕ 🇪🇺🇮🇳🇫🇷 This is an interesting news story that illustrates the challenges facing the European defense industry. According to the report, the head of the French Army General Staff’s department stated that Paris is considering purchasing the Indian Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launcher system as a replacement for the aging American M270 MLRS.

It appears that France is unable to meet its needs for rocket artillery either on its own or with the help of its NATO European allies. As a result, they are forced to turn to India, a relatively new player in the global arms market, for supplies of conventional MLRS.

While it would be hasty to write off the French military industry – they produce advanced systems like CAESAR, Rafale, Mistral, and SCALP-EG – the fact that France is now looking at acquiring Indian artillery is quite remarkable, as this would have been unthinkable just 10 years ago.

This is part of a broader trend in the EU, where significant stockpiles have been depleted by donations to Ukraine, and domestic products often have mediocre characteristics at exorbitant costs. As a result, European NATO countries are increasingly turning to “external” suppliers, including those that were previously unknown.

If France can at least cover some of its needs on its own, the other European NATO countries will be forced to rely almost entirely on imports from the US and its Asian allies, producing only a few individual weapons and equipment models domestically.

Wasn’t it just yesterday I mentioned Lindsey Graham exhorting the Zionazis to nuke Gaza?? Apparently they will try it… incidentally this is bad news for the rest of us. Once nukes come out, they won’t be for just Gaza….
Imran Hosein had some similar words to the effect of this dream: that when the satanic side decides to finally use the gadgets, they will have some nasty surprises. He said certain parties will be protected. This is a supernatural era. He mentioned Russia as well.
I agree. Given her tremendous good works and striving for justice and to protect the defenseless in Novorossiya, in CIS countries and most Asia, in Africa, and elsewhere, I think Russia will have additional Protection, beyond her already formidable defenses..
One of the ten major signs in Islam of the End Times is the Rise of the Sun from the West. Imran Hosein linked it to the unusual rise of the north Atlantic people, hitherto among the weakest and poorest of humanity in antiquity. As we see, they went on to form the largest Empire in human history. Armageddon will close the chapter of this unique epoch.

⭕ Trump has picked war-hawk Pete Hegseth as his Secretary of Defense

Pete Hegseth is known as a staunch supporter of Israel. He has accused several U.S. Representatives of serving a ‘Hamas agenda’, and that Israel should ‘flatten Gaza’.

Furthermore, he supported the unprovoked killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in 2020, and urged the U.S. to bomb Iran directly, including cultural and religious sites.
⭕ For someone who says he does not seek war with Iran, he’s making some dubious choices.
⭕ According to the New York Times, Trump has chosen Senator Marco Rubio from Florida as his Secretary of State

Of course, Rubio, like all other American politicians, is extremely pro-Israel. He controversially supported moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
⭕ Trump has selected Mike Huckabee as Ambassador to Israel

Huckabee is so pro-Israel that he even actively encourages establishing Jewish settlements in the West Bank, which are illegal under international law, and almost every U.S. administration has urged Israel to stop the expansion of such settlements.

He also denied the existence of Israel’s military occupation of the West Bank: ‘There is no such thing as a West Bank – it’s Judea and Samaria. There’s no such thing as a settlements. They’re communities. They’re neighborhoods. They’re cities. There’s no such thing as an occupation.’

⭕ – 🌟 Analyst Khalil Nasrallah, commenting on Hezbollah’s operation against Tel Aviv earlier today, writes:

▪️ “As soon as the Israeli occupation army carried out a series of airstrikes on the southern suburb of Beirut, the resistance quickly carried out a strike in southern Tel Aviv targeting the “Tel Nof” base

The message was clear, that Hezbollah is establishing an equation: targeting the suburbs is met with targeting Tel Aviv, and neutralizing Tel Aviv is met with neutralizing the suburbs

This is another indication that Hezbollah’s command and control system has moved to an advanced stage in managing the ongoing war

According to the military capability that Mr. Nasrallah had announced throughout the past stages, the resistance is capable of reaching Tel Aviv and beyond, all the way to Eilat

▪️ It is clear that the occupation army has expanded, during the past few days, its targeting of civilians, across the Lebanese geography, intending to cause a large number of martyrs to pressure Hezbollah

On the other hand, it is clear that the resistance has continued to target military bases in different areas, but it has given field indications that it may gradually move towards targeting the heart of cities and settlements in Palestine

The indication came through targeting Nahariya and Haifa in the way we saw. This means that the resistance leadership may not continue to limit its targeting to military bases if the Israelis continue to go too far and target civilians

It is clear that the resistance leadership is conducting a precise battle, and it is choosing the times in which to advance from one stage to another
⭕ Hezbollah has published footage of the targeting of the Tel Nof airbase, southeast of Tel Aviv.

A moving excerpt from Pete Hegseth’s book, “American Crusade, Our Fight to Stay Free” (2020)

“Simply put: if you don’t understand why Israel matters and why it is so central to the story of Western civilization—with America being its greatest manifestation—then you don’t live in history. America’s story is inextricably linked to Judeo-Christian history and the modern state of Israel. You can love America without loving Israel—but that tells me your knowledge of the Bible and Western civilization is woefully incomplete. If you’re going to crusade, you need to know the totality of your mission.

This brief section is not intended to provide a full defense of Israel; but as an aspiring American Crusader, consider it homework. A great place to start, once again, is PragerU. Check out videos such as “Why Don’t You Support Israel?,” “Israel’s Legal Founding,” and “Why Does America Spend So Much on Israel?” After that, read A Durable Peace: Israel and Its Place Among the Nations by Benjamin Netanyahu. You’ll quickly realize the depth of connection among education, Israel, and Americanism.

If you love America, you should love Israel. We share history, we share faith, and we share freedom. We love free people, free expression, and free markets. And whereas America is blessed with two big, beautiful oceans to protect it, Israel is surrounded on all sides by countries that either used to seek, or still seek, to wipe the nation off the map.

The battle wages on Israeli soil as well. With each trip I take to Israel for FOX Nation, and on my personal time, I discover a new way in which Islamists and their leftist enablers seek to deny Jewish history and heritage. Today, Islamists in Jerusalem are attempting to claim that the Holy Temple built by King Solomon and rebuilt by Herod never existed. Apparently, they want us all to believe that Jews—from Abraham to Jesus—never sacrificed, built, or worshipped on that particular piece of real estate. “Temple denial” is yet another tool by which they seek to erase the Jews and the Jewish state. If that isn’t delusional enough, on a recent trip to Bethlehem—the birthplace of Jesus—I discovered that Palestinians now claim that Jesus was not in fact Jewish but instead a Palestinian. Try that one on for size—or watch my two FOX Nation documentaries on the subject: Battle in the Holy City and Battle in Bethlehem.”

⭕ 🇷🇺🏆🆚🇺🇸 Trump Meets “The Art of the Russian Deal” – Will Hubris Lead to Humiliation?

In his latest geopolitical fantasy, President-elect Trump seems to think he can charm his way to peace in Ukraine by dangling a 20-year NATO “moratorium” in front of Moscow. But let’s get real: Trump’s 20-year pause is just a soft reset for NATO expansion, a sugar-coated “deal” that Russia will laugh out of the room. Trump’s version of diplomacy is the equivalent of painting over a crack in a dam; a cosmetic pause that does nothing to address the existential fault lines underneath.

Trump’s team has floated the idea of a 20-year waiting period before NATO could open its doors to Ukraine, with Europe and the UK enforcing an 800-mile “demilitarized” buffer zone. But look closer, and this “demilitarized” zone is as NATO as it gets—European and British troops patrolling along Russia’s borders, under the guise of non-NATO peacekeepers, in a scheme as transparent as glass. The Kremlin doesn’t suffer from Washington’s illusions. Moscow sees this for what it is: NATO dressed up in the emperor’s new clothes, a de-facto NATO encirclement that threatens Russia’s sovereignty as surely as any missile installation.

Russia’s calculus here isn’t swayed by verbal sleight of hand or diplomatic smoke and mirrors. Moscow’s red lines are etched in stone, carved by centuries of history and the scars of NATO’s aggression. The SMO wasn’t launched on a whim; it was born from a necessity to prevent NATO from embedding itself on Russia’s doorstep. Any notion that Russia would acquiesce to “NATO-lite” in exchange for empty promises is laughable (been there, done that – not one inch eastward). Trump may style himself a dealmaker, but he’ll soon discover that the art of the Russian deal is a whole different beast.

Here’s the brutal reality that Washington refuses to acknowledge: Russia has not only defeated Ukraine; it has defeated NATO itself, the combined military-industrial might of the West. The IMF confirms Russia now ranks as the world’s 4th largest economy by PPP, resurgent powerhouse that has defeated sanctions, total war, and mockingbird-media propaganda. The old unipolar order lies shattered, and Russia is not about to let NATO dictate terms, especially from across an “800-mile” charade.

So Trump can posture, he can “negotiate,” but the truth is, the Russian bear won’t dance to Washington’s tune. The West has tried and failed to corner Russia, militarily, economically, and diplomatically. Now, Trump, in his audacity, believes he can negotiate out of what is total defeat. But the Kremlin isn’t buying what Washington’s selling. Russia is ready to secure its national interests on her terms, not through some hollow Western concession.

But perhaps the greatest irony here is that Trump, in his ambition to make a deal, might just end up penning his name on NATO’s silent surrender, a signature on a capitulation crafted in the shadows. The art of this Russian deal may well mean that the ‘deal’ Trump envisions is one where the West’s so-called diplomacy bends before a resurgent Eurasian superpower. Trump’s ultimate realization might not be how to bring peace, but how to acknowledge defeat, one his own backers may insist he sugarcoat for domestic consumption

Trump might think he’s crafting a historic deal, but Moscow has already written the closing chapter: there will be no pause, no backdoor NATO-lite arrangement, and no illusion of “peace” on the West’s terms.

⭕ 🟥❌ Hezbollah announce using Nasr-1 missiles in field battles for the first time… What does that mean?

In their 22nd statement earlier today, Hezbollah announced targeting a gathering of enemy forces in the southern outskirts of Bint Jbail town with a barrage of Nasr-1 rockets

It is a surface-to-surface precision missile developed by the engineers of the Lebanese Resistance, deployed to strike vital targets and ports with an accuracy of up to 5 meters. It enjoys high maneuverability against air defense systems, and its system is immune to radio jamming. The missile was first put into service on October 14, 2024, with a:

-302mm diameter
-100kg warhead
-100km range
➖➖➖
“It’s very noteworthy that Hezbollah is introducing precision Nasr-1 missiles into the ground battles in southern Lebanon, after previously using them to strike vital military targets deep inside the [Zionist] entity

The introduction of precision missiles into the ground battle is one of the surprises of the war, and may have been outside Israeli calculations

The use of these missiles has a very significant impact, and it is reminiscent of Yemeni Ansarallah’s use of ballistic missiles to strike military gatherings in Shabwah during the Al-Bayda’-Shabwah battles in 2022 (Battle of Marib), which had a major impact that changed the face of the battle that day”

⭕ Power outage affecting large areas in the occupied city of Haifa.
⭕ A member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, has challenged the United States to allow live broadcasts from the aircraft carrier “Abraham Lincoln” following its alleged targeting by Yemen.

In a tweet on the platform “X,” Al-Houthi stated, “I challenge the Americans to allow channels to broadcast live from the carrier to deny their claims, as operations from Yemen are announced and not leaks, unlike the U.S. did days ago by spreading rumors about halting operations from Yemen and the passage of a military vessel for the entity, which was denied by free media who defeated their narrative and fabricated campaigns.”

He emphasized that the ongoing operations of the Yemeni armed forces are part of the struggle against U.S. and British support and participation in Israeli terrorism against the people of Gaza and Lebanon. Al-Houthi pointed out that American and British involvement in the crimes of the Israeli entity only adds to the violence, asserting that every massacre constitutes a complete war crime.

He highlighted that the continuous presence of the Abraham Lincoln carrier in areas targeted by Yemeni missiles and drones confirms its hostile role and ongoing illegal mission to support Israeli terrorism in the extermination of the people of Gaza and Lebanon, as well as the aggression against Yemen. He urged the Pentagon to reposition the aircraft carrier on their territory near Eisenhower.

🔻 C2: There isn’t going to be a war against Iran
🔻 WS: Not a big protracted war, to be sure.

The US simply cannot engage in a ground war against Iran. Nor can they put the US Navy into the Persian Gulf, or anywhere very close to Iran.

But they’re probably dumb enough to try to “punish” Iran with a brief and disastrous air campaign.
🔻 C3: Everyone’s predicting war with Iran, but my guess is it will be with Venezuela.

🔻 WS: Consistent with what I have written for years now, I agree a US ground war against Iran is an utter impossibility, as is a naval incursion into or even near the Persian Gulf.

But this Trump administration will almost certainly be dumb enough to attempt an air campaign.

You could mobilize America in a way that you never could for Iran or even after 9/11
🔻 WS: I don’t believe this at all. They would have to crank up conscription again to fill the ranks. And if they tried to do the job with special forces, they’d get massacred in detail.

I don’t buy for moment the idea the US is going to launch a military campaign against Mexico.
🔻 C11: Ohhh, I don’t think the US will either. I actually find it quite unlikely. It’s not conflict that Americas elite is interested in. “But how does this help Israel?”, they protest!

But you’re wrong about them needing conscription. They’d have to turn down volunteers.

To be clear, the U.S. government is the only thing holding back Americans from forming volunteer militias and wiping out border crossers and cartels, if not outright annexing parts of Mexico.

And that’s with ZERO army involvement.
🔻 WS: This is #BatshitCrazy silly talk.

I do not understand why people do not see this.
🔻 C12: Your analysis IS bad because you are making blanket, generalized statements about the Trump nominees. You obviously know very little about Tulsi Gabbard. She is anti-war in the sense that only someone who has served in the military can be. This is just biased opinion.
🔻 WS: I’ve followed Gabbard for years. I spoke highly of her a few years ago, here on this platform.

⭕ IAEA’s Director General visted Tehran; here are a couple of things to note about his visit:

1. DG Grossi has brought a message to Iran that seemingly has two parts. The most urgent one is that the E3(UK, Germany & France) are preparing a condemning report and resolution against Iran at the BoG.
2. The second part of DG’s Grossi message is the possibility of Israel striking Iran’s nuclear facilities if Tehran continues with the restrictions imposed on the IAEA. Grossi says he will pay a visit to Fordow and Natanz nuclear facilities, too, to get a first-hand calculation.
3. Grossi openly accuses Tehran of being the cause of the tension, adding that Iran should start de-escalation and resolve the current crisis. Grossi sees Tehran as the one invoking the crisis by revoking the licenses of 9 agency inspectors & denying IAEA’s access to cameras.
4. Iran has expectations in return for allowing the IAEA resume access to its online cameras and broader inspections.   But DG Grossi rejects the possibility of meeting Iran’s expectations: “it’s not (for the IAEA) to reward every country that Okays inspections.”
5. What is Iran’s response? ?  Atomic chief Eslami threatens that Iran will act immediately if any condemning resolution is passed at the IAEA.  Though not revealing what that action will be, we can make a guess: Purifying uranium at higher degrees or installing new centrifuge cascades.
6. Iran’s FM Araghchi who plays the good cop sounds more lenient: “Iran will cooperate ONLY IF the other sides (IAEA + E3) meet their end if the bargain”. Nevertheless Araghchi throws the final shot: “Tehran will not negotiate under pressure or harassment”.
7. Today, the TOP commander of the IRGC, Hossein Salami said to Israel: “Wait for our retaliation because it will be very painful”. Ali Larijani also arrived in Syria today with Sayyed Khamenei’s message of support for Assad amid increasing Israeli threats against him.

⭕ 🇬🇶 Russian power creeps across West Africa with Equatorial Guinea mission

Russia has deployed up to 200 military instructors to Equatorial Guinea in recent weeks to protect the presidency, sources told Reuters, showing Moscow is expanding its footprint in West Africa.

The sources said the Russians were training elite guards in the two main cities of the tiny oil-exporting country of 1.7 million people, where U.S. energy firms invested billions of dollars in the first decade of the century before scaling down.

The deployment fits into a wider pattern of waning Western influence and increasing Russian interventions in West and Central Africa, where Moscow has sent thousands of mercenaries to protect military regimes and help them fight insurgents.

In Equatorial Guinea, where 82-year-old President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo has ruled since seizing power in a coup in 1979 and is grooming his favourite son to succeed him, Russian security could ward off any threat to the ruling dynasty.

On a visit to Moscow in September, Obiang thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin for sending “instructors” to strengthen Equatorial Guinea’s defences, state news agency TASS reported.

Therefore, in the conditions of a hot war with the West, we will have to exist within the framework of our segment. Testing such scenarios is an urgent need, even without references to the need to test the stability of our segment of the Internet in the face of ongoing cyberattacks on our network infrastructure.

Meanwhile the rest of the planet is banding together like never before to lessen the blow of a crumbling US empire.

Retreat is always equated with Surrender and Defeat. And they are not wrong, given the catastrophic position and postures they always assume as Exceptionals, which invariably leads to Loss]
🔻 C7: I would agree they aren’t aware to what extent the world has changed and that the US domination is gone for good. However, many of them are quite close to realizing it. Eg. this hawk. It is the first time in US history that an SoD publicly admits the US army is obsolete. |media|

🔻 C8: Will sull’Apocalisse…..si manifesterà tutto quanto predetto? Come potremo salvarci dal marchio? Grazie🙏
🔻 C9: Will, so you don’t think Trump would cut a deal to stop the war in Ukraine?
🔻 WS: If, by “cut a deal”, you mean he can agree to whatever terms the Russians dictate, then yes, Trump can “cut a deal to stop the war in Ukraine”.

Either way, the Russians will do what they damn well please. That’s what happens in the real world when you win a big war.
🔻 C10: |Russia|
🔻 C11: It’s never been fun to face Russians in combat, the Wehrmacht got slaughtered doing it. These days it means dealing with tons of artillery, tons of killer drones, thermobaric rockets. I think Ukrainians will soon find out no Westerners want to become burnt out skeletons..
[and who says “westerners” are in charge at the elite level?? Eugenicist supranational zionazis could care less what happens to the discarded old Host. In fact, if the old carcass burns in tandem with Russia and the other civilizational-states, the better from their demented PoV]

🔻 Yuliana Dlugaj 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇰🇵🇮🇷: That dinner was just to sell China as a business hub to American CEOs, despite all your anti-China propaganda.

Musk has zero pull in Chinese policy—no one in the CPC cares what an American CEO thinks, except for business.
[was it Jeff Brown or Godfree who narrated this truth — that in the long history of the Chinese, the merchant class were held in contempt and at the bottom, even below the laborers and farmers?? What a wise civilization!]
🔻 C13: I don’t think you have made the right call on how deep in Chinese politics Musk has needed to go these last 6+ years when he set up and started to operate the fully foreign owned, almost a million cars per year factory in Shanghai.
[LOL. Exceptionalism on steroids! The conman is last to understand he himself was being conned… Like in Iran or Russia for that matter, all these last decades. Bibi wasn’t the only one milking the dying Empire!]
🔻 WS: Tesla cars aren’t nearly as good as their Chinese counterparts. They are doomed to lose market share at a rapid pace going forward.
🔻 C13: Musk is aware of this for sure. He needs to make some drastic moves to salvage the business, and for that he needs the Chinese government.
🔻 WS: What possible motivation would the Chinese have to rescue Elon Musk’s failed business ventures in China?

🤦‍♂️

Tesla will effectively disappear in China in the not-so-distant future.

🔻 C1: She hates wars. You’re confusing her with Bolton. Not the same.
🔻 WS: It’s unfortunate that so few people are aware of Gabbard’s strong anti-Muslim and anti-Iran views.

🔻 WS: I rest my case.
🔻 C2: Practicable option? Apart from the choice of bringing down the entire oil market and thus the entire earth, how?
🔻 WS: “Practicable” is a very relative term in this context. Almost ironic.

Almost all the policy makers and influencers in the empire are “enbubbled”; completely immersed in unreality. They have almost no conception of the potential consequences of their actions in the real world.
🔻 C3: In the end the US and Israel have nukes and Iran doesn’t, we’ve all seen this story before

🔻 C1: I agree with your sentiment. Aside from posting memes on Twitter, very little will be achieved. Likely, President-elect Trump knows it too.

He assigned these two, roles outside the administration. So they can continue to provide the “shock and awe entertainment”.

🔻 Big Serge: There’s a steady trickle of evidence that Russia has accumulated significant assets on the southern front. With the offensive in the southeastern Donbas outflanking the defenses at Velyka Novosilka to the east, we might see Russia go on the attack across the south.

They appear to have a significant preponderance of force in this theater, with the Ukrainians stripping much of the front down in favor of the offensive into Kursk and backstopping Pokrovsk.

A general sketch here would see the Russians roll up the shoulder Velyka Novosilka by continuing their advance westward out of Shakhtarske, while making thrusts for Orikhiv and Gulyaipole. As in Donetsk, the issue for the Ukrainians is that these have previously been rear areas (like Pokrovsk and Kurakhove) and logistical hubs, so turning them into frontline cities would put the AFU in a very tight position.

There are only three AFU mechanized brigades in the south at the moment, and most of the forces here are Territorial Defense battalions.
[Older Alexander also mentioned they had a huge disparity in #s – something like 6:1 for Russkies in these southern front(s). They appear to be timing it – like China and Iran.

West Asia reacts to Trump’s dalliance with Zionism

MKB is going by his hopeful longing looking at the superficial current among the Orange Camacho Gang. The panicked GCC moves to mollify Iran will not affect the coming conflagration of all Persian oil/gas platforms; it is too little too late by the absolutely abject ignorant. They remain occupied concubines providing airspace for the savaging of Iran and radars/defenses for Zion! How can nice words and meaningless statements by impotent talk-shops assauge Iran when the Empire blasts their crown jewels and decapitates the current elite??? They will do what is in their interests and shut down all petrochemicals exiting Hormuz.

And if they fail to do so, Pax Judaica shall arise, and other Resistance will complete the task. Indeed, Prophesies foretell that Iran will get resuscitated by arab allies after they get leveled. For that to happen, both the western presence and their oil haciendas will have been wiped out too. So events will follow their natural course. The entire region shall burn; but locals shall inherit. The end of western and desert bedouin influence is not in doubt, no matter how they flail about, scream “Genocide” and call Putin and all their favored principalities for succor.

💠@Yemen | Bab-el-Mandeb:
⭕ 🇾🇪 Ansarallah Commander Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr El-Din Al-Houthi during his speech today, November 14th, 2024 (1/2):
—
Most Arab regimes are aligning themselves with the Americans, fully aware that their countries and regimes are targeted.

The enemies are seeking to exterminate this nation, and what they are doing in Palestine could be done in any other country.

What the Americans did in Iraq and Afghanistan could be repeated in any other country as part of the zionist project aimed at reshaping the region alongside the “israelis.”

405 days of “israeli” and U.S. aggression and criminality against the Palestinian and Lebanese people, met with abandonment by most Arab and Islamic countries, except for a few.

405 days of Palestinian steadfastness, of remarkable Lebanese resilience, and the enduring support from allied fronts.

The “israeli” enemy has devised a new plan in the northern Gaza Strip that is even more brutal and bloody as part of its campaign of genocide.

Most of the victims of the “israeli”crimes of massacres against Palestinians are children and women.

The “israeli” enemy targets fabric tents with American bunker-busting bombs.

The “israeli” enemy is subjecting the Palestinian people to starvation, forced displacement, and the destruction of all life-supporting infrastructure, aiming for their extermination.

Despite the explicitly of the situation to the entire world, there has been no serious action from most people, organizations, or international institutions.

Most countries remain silent because the Americans are accomplices in the crimes and fail to take even simple steps like political and economic boycotts, which emboldens the enemy.

The stance of most Arab and Islamic countries has greatly encouraged the “israeli” enemy to continue its crimes.

Arab and Muslim nations have not taken even the minimal position that their religious, humanitarian, ethical, and national responsibilities demand.

Certain Arab and Islamic leaders and regimes insist on maintaining political and economic relations with the “israeli” enemy.

Our country continues its operations and activities as part of the promised liberation battle and the sacred struggle.

This week’s military operations included the use of 29 ballistic and cruise missiles and drones.

Our military operations targeted areas deep within occupied Palestine, including Yaffa, Asqalan, Umm al-Rashrash, and an “israeli” air base in the “Negev Desert” [Al-Naqab], as well as operations directed at the seas.

Among our notable naval operations was targeting the American aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea, forcing it to retreat hundreds of miles after being struck.

Since the American aircraft carrier fled from the Red Sea, the enemy has been avoiding the area, and no aircraft carrier has entered the Red Sea since then.

The American aircraft carrier occasionally moves between the Gulf, the Sea of Oman, the edges of the Indian Ocean, or the Arabian Sea under disguise and camouflage.

In some cases, the American aircraft carrier has operated close to some African coastlines to avoid potential targeting.

No decision to target an American aircraft carrier has been made by any other nation in the world as Yemen has, which is by the Grace of Allah and a result of the faithful, Quranic, and jihadist stance of our dear people.

Who would dare to make the decision to target an American aircraft carrier and carry it out with actual missile and drone attacks?

At first, the Americans denied the incident, later downplaying it, and eventually admissions came even from officials on the previous aircraft carrier that fled the Red Sea.

The American aircraft carrier Lincoln retreated hundreds of miles into the far reaches of the Arabian Sea after being targeted.

Alongside the targeting of the aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, two American warships were also targeted in the Red Sea.
⭕ 🇾🇪 Ansarallah Commander Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr El-Din Al-Houthi during his speech today, November 14th, 2024 (2/2):
—
The naval operation was conducted at a time when the Americans were preparing to launch the largest aerial offense against our country that night since the declaration of aggression in support of the “israeli” enemy.

The operation the Americans were preparing failed, and they found themselves in a defensive position, with their aircraft carrier retreating hundreds of miles.

As long as the “israel” continues its aggression on Gaza and the Lebanese people, with American involvement, we will continue our operations.

The Americans consider it their duty to support the “israeli” enemy in its crimes, aggression, and extermination of the Palestinian people, and we see supporting the Palestinian people as a duty by any means.

We wish we could do more to support the Palestinian people and are striving to increase our practical efforts; thus, our operations continue.

If the Americans decide to bring their aircraft carrier into the Red Sea, they will only bring it closer for targeting, and if they dare, let them try.

The American airstrikes this week on various governorates have had no impact on our country’s military capabilities.
⭕ Intense clashes are currently occurring between the Yemeni navy and American and British warships in the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab. Sounds of explosions are being heard from miles away in the mentioned areas.

• Hamas to attrit the ground forces of Zion beyond remedy — requiring an ever escalating unsustainable demand of foreign mercs, as well as finish off what is left of conventional western MIC capabilities after 404;
• Hezbollah the MIC, airfields, and high value targets throughout Zion. And to solve and degrade the air defenses of the combined West, before Iran enters the arena ;
• Iraq to keep a firm gun planted on the temple of the US bases in Syraq;
• Iran to fund, mastermind, weaponize, and do polite diplomacy in the halls of the satanists. Then mop up occupied Palestine’s settler — what is left, if necessary

⭕ American Fighter Pilots recount the horror they encountered during Iran’s True Promise-1 attack: “We were shocked by the volume of launches”

On April 13, during Iran’s TP-1 attack, the US claims it intercepted over 70 drones & missiles launched toward Israel.

An F-15 fighter jet crew shared their experience of running out of supplies within a short time and having to land under fire: “We declared an emergency, not knowing if a missile would explode on our wing.” One pilot described a failed attempt to intercept an Iranian drone: “We descended far below the minimum altitude, racing toward the ground in total darkness.”

Captain Lacey Hester, a weapons systems officer on the F-15 jet, said, “When we received the order to fly that night, we had no idea how it would end.”

Pilot Timothy Causey added, “We didn’t have much time to train for the attack. Iran could launch massive numbers of drones because of their low cost, and our job was to protect the citizens of our ally, even though we weren’t prepared for an assault of this scale.”

• The American proposal includes a clause unacceptable to Lebanon, which is the establishment of a monitoring committee for implementing Resolution 1701 with the participation of several Western countries.
• Discussions about an alternative mechanism are currently underway. There is a clear mechanism that can be activated without issue. Efforts are ongoing, and the atmosphere is positive. The important thing is the outcome of these efforts.

⭕ 🇱🇧Latest toll from the Lebanese Ministry of Health. 3,445 Lebanese have been killed and 14,599 wounded by the Zionist aggression. Yesterday, 59 were killed and 182 wounded.

Remember, even according to the Zionists themselves, they cannot act without American support. Their air force would be grounded by the end of a month without American weapons, spare parts, and fuel. When the Zionists drop a bomb on Lebanon, it is an American bomb, dropped from an American airplane targeted by American satellites.

The Zionist entity is nothing more than America’s triggerman in the Middle East.
⭕ A chart of the daily attacks from Hezbollah. Contrary to what the IOF propagandists in the media tell us, Hezbollah has not really dropped off. They intensified their efforts at the end of October and then reverted back to the pace they held at the start of the month.

With the exception of Nov 1st, Hezbollah attacks in the first half of November look a lot like they did in the first half of October.

Hezbollah launched over 30 attacks today, so they are not slowing down either. Hezbollah only has so many fighters so they have a limit on how much they can accomplish, it’s not reasonable to expect attacks to increase every day.

However, they have not fallen off like you would expect from what the ISW and IOF say.
[Per prior phases of this attrition war, they likely have surge capacity held back for upcoming phases. Yemen’s on their phase five; Hezbollah only on their phase two. They’re also waiting for nazis to work up the courage to invade deeper into Lebanon. And do not forget the tens of thousands of Yemenis, Syrians, Afghans, Iranians and others who’ve flocked to Lebanon and Syrian hinterlands – these are mostly specialists in drone, rocket & missile teams.. beautiful days ahead.]
⭕ 🇵🇸⚔️🌟 Al-Qassam posted a video of the destruction of this Merkava tank.

The resistance used two American made Mk82 500lb bombs to create an IED so powerful that it separated the massive turret from the hull, utterly destroying this Merkava beyond repair and killing the entire crew.

The Merkava targeted was a Mk4 “Barak” the most advanced and rarest of all the Merkava variants. These tanks have only been in production for about a year, starting production in August 2023, just before Operation Al-Aqsa flood. Given as the IOF is reduced to using 20+ year old MK3s in Lebanon, it is likely that the Barak is both rare and essentially irreplaceable. The tank was destroyed in clashes in or around the Jabalia refugee camp in north Gaza.

Yesterday was a huge day for the Gaza resistance, they carried out at least 3 successful ambushes on IOF armor, destroying several tanks and a bulldozer, and inflicting heavy causalities on the invaders.  |media|
[It was dedicated to Yahya Sinwar..]
⭕ A summary of all Hezbollah operations for today, 11/15/2024. Hezbollah claimed 31 operations today.

The map looks less busy today because the fighting was more concentrated. Hezbollah fired the majority of it’s ordinance at battlefield targets today, hitting concentrations of IOF troops advancing towards their second line of defense, around 5-7km from the border. In total, 28 of the 31 missions today were fired at IOF troops, with only 3 of the regularly scheduled attacks on settlements.

There were extremely heavy clashes in the axis from Margaliot, Palestine towards Talloussah, Lebanon, with IOF forces targeted by ten rocket barrages in total. Zionist forces were halted just to the east of Talloussah by massive rocket fire, throughout the day they were targeted 7 separate times in this area alone.

In the southwest, there was heavy fighting in the axis from Tayr Harfa to the historic village of Shamaa. Zionist forces were stopped at the outskirts of Shamma, where they were ambushed by Hezbollah and suffered heavy losses. As they withdrew, local sources claim the IOF detonated the Shrine of the Prophet Shimon, an ancient Mosque.

This shrine is attributed to Shimon al-Safa, the Arabic name for St. Peter, one of the 12 disciples of Christ and the first Pope of Rome. It is unclear when the shrine was built, but the minarets date back to the 1100s, shortly before the Crusades. Thousands of pilgrims came to visit the site every year, and now it is gone forever. This is yet another example of the Zionist entity’s merciless war on the history and heritage of the region. Churches and Mosques all throughout the region have been attacked and destroyed in an intentional campaign to blot out the history of the land.

These “indigenous” people must destroy the history of the region so they can replace it with their own, where Poles and Ukrainians are native to the Levant.

Fortunately, the IOF was defeated in Shamma today, but they will return in the days to come. Hopefully, many more Zionists will be buried at the Shrine of the Prophet Shimon.

⭕ Why #Israel bombs #Syria? Will #Russia play a role to stop the conflict? My take to ⁦@AJEnglish⁩
⭕ Hezbollah launched a Qader-2 ballistic missile on #Israel’s Kiryah military base in Tel Aviv 120 km from the Lebanese borders, confirming its capabilities and possession of many under-the-ground strategic missiles that Israel failed to destroy as previously claimed.
[this “Kirya” or “Campus” is the main War Ministry HQ where Satanyahoo & Gang held many meetings in last year, and huddled far below the surface]
⭕ Israel is not fighting #Hezbollah but is declaring war on #Lebanon, a sovereign state, and destroying civilian homes. In this case, the Lebanese resistance has the right to attack Israel under international law. By targeting Lebanese territory extensively, deploying large-scale military operations, and causing widespread destruction to infrastructure, civilian areas, and historical sites, Israel has effectively broadened the scope of its actions beyond merely combating the Lebanese resistance, which is, again, against international laws.

Furthermore, civilians, vital infrastructure, and non-combatant regions have suffered under the military campaign, blurring the lines between targeting Hezbollah and waging war on the Lebanese state as a whole.

Israel’s invasion disregards principles of sovereignty enshrined in the UN Charter, indicating its non-compliance with international norms.
Article 2(1) establishes that all member states are equal under international law and have the right to sovereignty over their own territory.

Article 2(4) Prohibition of the Use of Force: “All Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations.”

Hezbollah has all the right to bomb and attack Israel under Article 51 of the UN Charter. This article allows Lebanon to use force if it is acting in self-defence against an armed attack:
“Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations until the Security Council has taken measures necessary to maintain international peace and security.”
⭕ Israel is not in a winning position to impose its ceasefire terms on #Lebanon.
⭕ Israel is changing the shape of the attack of its divisions/forces along the south of #Lebanon front to penetrate deeper into the Lebanese territories.

Geopolitically strengthened through a united front with China and the BRICS states. Militarily upgraded to a level of battle-tested readiness unparalleled in the world.

Sanctions that have had no real effect and are now slowly fading away. Economic growth of over 4% in 2024 with consistently good prospects for the future, making it the strongest growing European power.

This doesn’t appear to be the reason at all for Shebam, but it raises similar awe.

Much of Yemen is desert now after its destruction during biblical times. Apparently the most powerful human civilization, concurrent with a young Babylon and arising earlier, is buried in the northern part of Yemen – in the quarter of the arabian peninsula called “the Empty Quarter.” The destruction of this civilization of giants is described in the Qur’an – they were in one of the periodic droughts and saw huge black clouds approaching them, and celebrated, thinking their woes were over. But it was mockery of the mockers, who now lie buried under an ocean of sand. I’ve read english masonic fiction (fiction?!) that recounts expeditions by westerners to this Empty Quarter, trying to find a way down into their lost cities and retrieve magical totems and other evil works of the ancients. Who said Indiana Jones was fiction!

Russia and China cultivate close ties with Yemen now, not only to strengthen multipolarity and evict the Pirates out of West Asia, but because as this short piece reminds us, Yemen, like Persia further north, has always been a key node on the ancient Silk Road. At certain points, into as late as the 19th century, some of the wealthiest city states and tribes on earth were found in Yemen, due to their industry as middlemen and good fortune of living on exceptional geography…

⭕ Explosions Rock Occupied Territories Amid U.S. Confirmation of Double Attack from Yemen.

A series of violent explosions shook the heart of the Israeli occupation on Saturday.

This coincided with U.S. discussions regarding a double strike from Yemen.

Hebrew Channel 12 reported that explosions were heard in several areas within Israel, although the causes remain unclear.

The reports of explosions in Tel Aviv came just a day after American intelligence indicated a double attack from Yemen.

According to American media, U.S. naval forces detected at least two missiles launched from Yemen toward the occupied Palestinian territories.

Though Yemen has yet to announce details of the attack, the U.S. Navy’s acknowledgment of the missile launches underscores the occupation’s failure to intercept them.

Tel Aviv has been the site of Yemeni attacks since the launch of the fifth phase several months ago.

Thus far, the Yemeni strikes have primarily involved Yafa drones and hypersonic missiles known as “Palestine 2.”

The beginning starts with heavy bombing for many days, and then the troops advance with armoured divisions. The resistance – not the Lebanese army that is absent – waits until the Israelis move in with their tanks.
⭕🔻 C1: It’s great to see that you’re now advocating for the Lebanese army to get involved, indicating a change in your perspective about their role. That’s a positive development, indeed.
🔻 EM: I haven’t changed my mind one bit about this useless institution until it is proved otherwise. The Lebanese army should be disbanded or learn to protect the country. That is why its members are paid and nothing else, like any other army in the world.
🔻 C2: Lebanese army is from all the secte of lebanon and hezb didn’t let the army to take their role. Hezb insisted that he can defend lebanon assit hamas attacking in syria or yemen and iraq. But now where are the AA they claimed they have. Why did refuse arming the army

🔻 EM: Again, I repeat: Is Hezbollah stopping the army from being engaged in defending the country now?
🔻 C2: For this YES
The army must have a direct order from Berri. You must know that if you want to wage war the house of the representatives and the cabinet must agree. But you didn’t answer why Iran not defending
🔻 EM: 1. Why would Iran defend a country with an army? Grow up.
2. General Aoun removed the head of the military court, selected by Berri. Aoun receives orders from the US embassy, not Berri. He was appointed by President Aoun and turned against him in the hope of becoming president.

Is that your answer. Really.

🔻 EM: If you were an officer in the Lebanese army, I am not surprised by your level of intelligence. Good day.
🔻 C3: Ali [C2] told lies. An officer in the army would not wish the death of Lebanese children
🔻 C4: To be honest the army commander is doing hard work abiding by whatever US ‘Embassy’ orders. He’s going too far that you think he’s sure there won’t be a sovereign free of “israeli” occupation Lebanon any more, and he’ll ride the presidential chair as a reward.
🔻 C5: What is the composition of the army in term of sects, do you have any idea?
🔻 EM: 50% Christians; 50% Muslims. The Top Chief is a Christian.
🔻 C6: I don’t mean this in a rude way but that is not correct
The army is majority Muslim (sunni)
I am a christian deserter from the army
That’s why they don’t let christians like me leave
And we have to desert
The top chief is christian that’s 100%

🔻 Armchair Warlord: The sleeper story of this phase of the Ukrainian War has been Russia’s ability to just keep a dozen or so Gerans buzzing around Ukraine’s airspace on a more-or-less constant basis.

And there was a critical admission last week that the vast majority of them hit targets.⬇️

Russia flies off so many Gerans, so often, that it’s not even a news item anymore. Hardly anyone even pays attention at this point and meanwhile they’re hitting a thousand aimpoints a month in Ukraine’s rear areas for about the cost of a midsize car each.

You want to talk about game-changers in 21st century war? Let’s talk about democratized air campaigns with zero risk to pilots and expensive airframes, that can scale at the rate of manufacturing. The Russians adopted these things – the only foreign weapon they’ve taken on board in meaningful quantities, by the way – for a very, very good reason.

🔻 Armchair Warlord: (1) pretty much
(2) yeah you can shoot them down

🔻 Armchair Warlord: They’re quite large, Hezbollah can’t deploy them in any quantity.
🔻 C3: that is an excellent point Warlord the performance-to-price ratio is very high in contrast to Western drones
🔻 C4: The Geran-2 has a 100lb warhead and a 2000km range, it costs about $80k. The closest thing NATO has in any number is the Switchblade, which costs $100k with a 40mm warhead and a range of 10km-20km/15min flight time.
🔻 C5: Based on this, Rus must have a detailed understanding of Ukr air defense capability.

Rus will have an ongoing target list, high value on down. Obviously we can’t know but how many high value targets have been partially or fully neutralized would tell us A LOT about the war
🔻 C6: Russia are very fast and adaptive to 21st century modern warfare

“We had a very big debate, and I showed him,” Zeng said. “He was silent. He doesn’t know how to make a battery. It’s about electrochemistry. He’s good for the chips, the software, the hardware, the mechanical things.”

Zeng said he had also asked Musk about setting unrealistic timelines for the rollout of new vehicles or technologies at Tesla. He said Musk had told him that he wanted to motivate and focus Tesla staffers and that anything beyond a two-year time frame might as well be “infinity.”

“His problem is overpromising. I talked to him. Maybe something needs five years. But he says two years. I definitely asked him why. He told me he wanted to push people.”

⭕ A few more words about why the US is happily investing in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. And it’s not just about the military-industrial complex.

If we do not take into account the billions for the military complex, then this is how everything looks over the past year: from July 2023 to June 2024, the volume of goods supplied from the US to the EU increased by $93 billion (+34% compared to the 2021 level) and reached $367 billion.

In figures for this year, oil supplies from the US to Europe have doubled (+101%, i.e. 37.3 million tons more). Liquefied natural gas – by 18.5 million tons (+181%). Fertilizers – from practically zero to 666 (!) thousand tons. And so on for many export items.

The profit is convincing. After all, Europe has nowhere to go in the conditions of a shortage of raw materials, which was provoked by anti-Russian sanctions.

And as a bonus, the Yankees received an exclusive “business” offer from the expired clown. I already wrote about this, speaking about the interest of the American elite in the returned Russian territories, especially the territories of Donbass. After all, the reserves of mineral raw materials in them are many times greater than everything that remained in the former Ukraine. That is why today the drug addict is trying to maintain the interest of Americans in the war by trading access to natural resources. In general, nothing personal, just 💵.

P.S. By the way, during his first coming, Trump actively advocated for the replacement of Russian gas in Europe with American LNG. The end of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict could undermine the position of American liquefied gas in the Old World (one of our conditions is the lifting of sanctions). What will be more important: election promises or money? The question is rhetorical…

PPS Well, the material results of American investments on the territory of the former Ukraine in the context of the ongoing conflict with Russia will meet the fate of those infrastructure facilities that were subjected to a massive Russian attack this morning.

⭕ 🇷🇺🇺🇦Official from the Russian Ministry of Defense about a massive attack this morning

In the morning, the Russian Armed Forces launched a massive strike with long-range precision weapons against critical energy infrastructure facilities that ensure the operation of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex and enterprises that produce military products.

All planned targets were hit.
⭕ 🇷🇺🇺🇦Ukraine has shut down seven of its nine operating nuclear reactors after a massive overnight attack by Russian missiles and drones, Bloomberg reports, citing the IAEA.

IAEA staff working at plants in Ukraine said that only two of the nine reactors were generating electricity at full capacity on Sunday.

According to a statement from the UN nuclear watchdog, power generation at other units was reduced to 40-90% of capacity, the newspaper writes.

“The country’s energy infrastructure is extremely vulnerable, which directly impacts nuclear safety,” IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi said.

He added that inspectors are assessing the full extent of the damage.

An IAEA team based at the Khmelnytskyi NPP reported hearing a loud explosion, while others at the Rivne site reported that high-voltage power lines were unavailable. Both sites are in western Ukraine.

Ukraine has warned that airstrikes on critical power substations could trigger an emergency at one of its three operating nuclear power plants.

Recall that Russia launched about 120 missiles and 90 drones at Ukraine today.

⭕ Israel doesn’t want and can’t end the war in #Gaza and #Lebanon. Keep your analysis away from the “ceasefire negotiations”.
⭕ When Israel hits empty buildings in the suburb of #Beirut or around it, it sends a 20-minute warning, pretending it has morals.

When targeting assassinating any person, regardless of his position or importance, it destroys the building and kills many civilians with the target.
⭕ Many analysts argue that #Israel is “negotiating a ceasefire under fire.”

I can’t entirely agree with this theory. The resistance operates with a mindset where every individual is, in a sense, expendable, and no single figure wields decisive influence over whether a ceasefire is accepted or not.

Decisions are driven by broader strategic objectives rather than the fate of specific individuals or isolated events.

#Israel has already devastated much of the property belonging to Lebanese Shiites, leaving the resistance with little to lose. In this context, the resistance’s calculations are less constrained by material losses.

Moreover, if Israel were to escalate by targeting displaced Shiite civilians, the consequences for Israeli civilians in Haifa and other cities would be severe. Hezbollah’s arsenal of drones and rockets, capable of evading Israel’s missile interception systems, serves as a potent deterrent, indirectly offering a measure of protection to Lebanese civilians.

Ultimately, the trajectory of the ceasefire will not hinge on diplomatic theories or speculative analyses but rather on the outcomes achieved on the battlefield. The resistance’s ability to sustain pressure and impose costs on Israel will likely be the determining factor in shaping any potential agreement.
⭕ Hezbollah is unlikely to reject or endorse the ceasefire proposal explicitly. Instead, it is expected to emphasise the positive points while seeking clarifications on the many ambiguous suggestions outlined in the draft. It is important to note that this is merely a proposal, not a binding agreement, leaving significant room for negotiation and interpretation.

Meanwhile, the current US administration appears to have limited leverage over Prime Minister @Netanyahu, who shows little inclination to offer a ceasefire deal that would align with the Biden administration’s objectives.
Netanyahu’s reluctance stems from domestic political considerations and a strategic calculation that prolonging the conflict serves his broader personal goals.

This lack of alignment between US influence and Israeli priorities complicates any prospects for a swift ceasefire to the ongoing invasion of #Lebanon.

In Netanyahu’s, Israel is uninterested and will continue its massacre of the Palestinians and forcefully displace inhabitants of the north.

💠@Middle East Spectator:
⭕ — 🇷🇺/🇺🇸/🇺🇦 NOTE: The decision by the U.S. allowing Ukraine to use US-manufactured long-range missiles to strike deep inside Russia could take this conflict to a different level.

This year, Russia updated its nuclear doctrine, and one of the points mentioned in the updated version was the following:

‘Any aggression against Russia by a non-nuclear state, but with the support or participation of a nuclear-armed country, will be considered a joint attack. It is clear to everyone which countries we are talking about. Under certain conditions, a massive launch of enemy air power, including airplanes, missiles, and UAVs, resulting in a violation of our border, may be justification for the use of nuclear weapons.’

Putin has made it quite clear that if Ukraine uses Western missiles to strike deep inside Russia, the possibility of a retaliation against Kyiv with tactical nuclear missiles, while unlikely, cannot be ruled out.

“The Deep State and its puppet Biden are attempting to trigger World War III before Trump comes to power,” writes the leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot, on X.

He is reacting to the information published on November 17 concerning the authorization supposedly given by Joe Biden’s administration to use ATACMS in the depths of Russian territory.

Reasonable people are going to have to take over and we’re going to get rid of NATO once and for all!” exclaims the politician.
⭕ 📹 THROWBACK: The use of Western long-range missiles on Russian territory will mean that NATO countries are fighting Russia — Putin

Ukrainian use of Western-made long-range missiles are only possible if using intelligence from NATO satellites, that is, direct NATO participation in the conflict, Vladimir Putin said.

“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,” President added. |media|

• Maduro called the permission given to Ukraine to use Western missiles deep into Russian territory madness of imperialism.

⭕ 🇨🇳China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it is in the interest of all parties of the Ukrainian conflict to cease fire as soon as possible

The Ministry commented on the news about Kiev being permitted to carry out missile strikes deep into Russia with Western weapons.
⭕ 🇺🇸 Biden’s decision on ATACMS missiles is patently irresponsible, an Argentine sociologist tells Sputnik

“Biden’s actions seem to indicate confidence in the inevitable defeat that Ukraine and NATO countries will suffer, and thus he wants, in the months remaining before the inauguration of Donald Trump, to ensure that Russia somehow responds to this provocation, which would increase the risk of escalation,” PhD in Politics Jorge Elbaum noted.

He added that Biden’s decision will lead to him going down in history not only as a “disgustingly decrepit president,” but also as one who put the entire world in an endlessly dangerous situation.

At the same time, Mexican international relations expert David Garcia Contreras believes that the move likely taken by Biden was a “last desperate attempt to strengthen Ukraine’s position.”

On Sunday, US President Joe Biden reportedly authorized Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with American missiles ATACMS, especially in Russia’s Kursk region. In September, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that allowing Kiev to use its Western long-range missiles on Russia would mean NATO’s direct participation in a war against the Russian Federation.

🔻 WS: Things many appear to overlook:

– It’s not 2008 anymore

– It’s not even 2022

– It’s the last days of 2024, and the Russians have developed into the most formidable military force in at least the western hemisphere

– Russia, China, and Iran are allies.
📜 All for One and One for All
🔻 C2: You are not worried about this?
🔻 WS: The more I think about it, the more convinced I become that it is just a psyop.

The US/NATO lack the capability to launch any meaningful strikes “deep into Russia”. In terms of ATACMS, they don’t have anything even approaching an adequate stockpile, nor do they have more than just a mere handful of HIMARS/M-270 launchers in the theater of battle.

As for Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles, they don’t have airframes in Ukraine, and they would not even attempt to launch strikes from Poland or Romania using NATO aircraft.

If they launch long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles, the Russians will rightly regard it as a nuclear first-strike, and will act accordingly, including counterstrikes against the launch platforms, and against NATO bases throughout Europe.

I think this is very likely a manufactured tempest in a teapot.
🔻 C3: I’m worried because they wouldn’t do it unless they were desperate.
🔻 WS: Desperate to snatch more defeat from the jaws of defeat?

Look … I have always allowed for the possibility that the #EmpireAtAllCosts cult fanatics might seize the reins at the Pentagon. I’ve simply assumed that doing so would catalyze a military coup d’etat.

🔻 C3: I think they’re desperate enough to do things I don’t want the algorithm to pick up. I absolutely agree with you, I think this is cover for something more nefarious.

If there’s no response from Russia, you can bet your bottom $ that the US will clear the long-range Tomahawks to be used, likely from smuggled in Typhon systems

🔻 WS: Look at a map. Neither ATACMS nor SS/SCALP have sufficient range from their possible launch points.
🔻 C8: Poland’s been pushing for it for over two years now.

🔻 WS: I have no idea what this even means. DPRK troops fighting in Ukraine is 100% fabricated nonsense.
🔻 C13: ATACMS are ballistic missiles tho
🔻 WS: ATACMS are worthless against Russian AD, as has been abundantly proven. Plus, they don’t have much range.
🔻 C14: They could mate weapons on drones to attack long range targets. Crude but effective.
🔻 WS: Been there. Done that. It worked a few times at first. It hasn’t worked at all since last summer.

This is the thing about the Russians: they adapt and innovate VERY quickly in wartime.
🔻 C15: Couldn’t it be f16 squadrons operated not by former pilots but current out of Poland and Romania using the extended jassm missiles?
🔻 WS: ASSMs are old, slow, vulnerable to ECM, and unlike the Tomahawk, they fly high, which makes them easier to detect, track, and kill.

If a volley of JASSMs is fired at Russian targets, I predict most, if not all, get shot down.

JASSMs have been shot down in Syria.
⭕🔻 C1: NYT: Biden has approved Ukraine’s use of ATACMS long-range missiles for strikes within Russia.

And, no, this is not going to lead to WW3 because, if given the choice between losing its captured territory in eastern Ukraine or its humiliation in a wider war (let alone the risk of destruction of its homeland in a nuclear holocaust), Russia will choose the former.

And, for crying out loud, let Russia keep Crimea as a consolation prize — it should never have been part of Ukraine to begin with.
🔻 WS: You are a clueless buffoon. They’ve launched HUNDREDS of ATACMS at Russian targets over the past year+. They had negligible effect; most were shot down or defeated via ECM. The intercept rate was well over 90% for most of 2024.

ATACMS are a joke compared to Iskander.

Either way, the Russians will do what they damn well please. That’s what happens in the real world when you win a big war.
🔻 C5: ATACMS are NOT “long-range” missiles. 300km MAX. And they have proven to be less effective the further they attempt to reach out to their max range.

Frankly, I think this whole thing is nothing but a lame, desperate psyop. I doubt they have an appreciable quantity of them left.

[so I agree with him. If NATO uses current “instruments” as before, all this is a psyop, to get the OPTICAL appearance of hurting Russia, in order to get an internal FF — attributed to Russia or Iran —  for subsequent moves against the civilizational-states.

• Reuters claims the decision was made based on still yet-to-be verified claims of North Korean troops inside Russia, not Ukraine;
• The US proxy war on Russia aims at causing maximum damage for Russia, not aiding Ukraine in victory – this decision was made knowing Ukraine will likely suffer the full brunt of Russian retaliation;

🔻Caitlin Johnstone: The New York Times reports that the Biden administration has authorized Ukraine to use US-supplied long-range missiles to strike Russian and North Korean military targets inside Russia — yet another dangerous escalation of nuclear brinkmanship in this horrific proxy war.

The Times correctly notes that authorizing Ukraine to use ATACMS, which have a range of about 190 miles, has long been a contentious issue in the Biden administration for fear of provoking military retaliations against the US from Russia. This reckless escalation has been authorized despite an acknowledgement from the anonymous US officials who spoke to The New York Times that they “do not expect the shift to fundamentally alter the course of the war.”

As Antiwar’s Dave DeCamp notes, Vladimir Putin said back in September that if NATO allows Ukraine to use western-supplied weapons for long-range strikes inside Russian territory, it would mean NATO countries “are at war with Russia.” This is about as unambiguous a threat as you’ll ever see.

NYT reports that Biden’s policy shift “comes two months before President-elect Donald J. Trump takes office, having vowed to limit further support for Ukraine.” And it is here worth noting that last week it was reported by The Telegraph that British PM Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron had been scheming to thwart any attempt by Trump to scale back US support for Ukraine by pushing Biden to authorize long-range missile strikes in Russian territory.

But it is also true that the day before the US election Mike Waltz, Trump’s next national security advisor, had himself endorsed the idea of authorizing long-range missile strikes into Russia with the goal of pressuring Moscow to end the war. His plan for disentangling the US from the conflict entails ramping up sanctions on Russia and “taking the handcuffs off the long-range weapons we provide Ukraine” in order to pressure Putin into eagerly accepting a peace deal.

So while this is being framed as an administration that’s more hawkish on Russia executing a maneuver that’s designed to hamstring the peacemongering of an incoming administration that’s less favorable to assisting Ukraine, in reality it may just be goal-assisting the next administration in a policy change it had planned on implementing anyway.

Either way, it’s insane. Putin ordered changes to Russia’s nuclear doctrine in September in order to ward off these sorts of escalations by lowering the threshold at which nuclear weapons could be used to defend the Russian Federation, and they’re just barreling right past that bright red line like they barreled over the red lines which led to the invasion of Ukraine. And the fact that they’re adding yet another nuclear-armed state into the mix with North Korea is just more gravy for the nuclear brinkmanship pot roast.

At one point in 2022, US intelligence agencies reportedly assessed that the odds of Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine was as high as fifty percent, but the Biden administration kept pushing forward with this proxy war anyway. These freaks are taking insane risks to advance agendas that stand to yield the slimmest of benefits even by their own assessments.

But it won’t surprise me to see them use even attempted but failed strikes in Kursk as a pretext to finally act against US/NATO ISR platforms in advance of a major Russian offensive.
🔻 C1: The west is more than capable of striking Russia….even Putin and the Germans admitted that it will be the west operating these missiles.
🔻 WS: Name me a meaningful strategic target you believe the US/NATO can strike in Russia using ATACMS, SCALP, or JASSM missiles.
🔻 C1: The only way for Ukraine to win is NATO intervention; this will require a provocation.

We already saw Ukraine attack nuclear early warning radars, and there are plenty of red lines the “Ukraine” can attack to incite a provocation…which they need for public support of action.
🔻 WS: Nonsense. There is NO WAY for “Ukraine to win”. The US/NATO have no play. The US could no more make big war against Russia than fly to the moon.
📜 The United States Could Not Win and Will Not Fight a War Against Russia
🔻 C1: Common sense dictates there are trillions of $$$ on the line in Ukraine and hundreds of billions in private investment $$$ already committed to a Ukraine victory.

It doesn’t matter if you think the U.S.A. can’t win a war in Ukraine, the maniacs in charge believe they can

⭕ 🇱🇧/🇮🇷/🇺🇸 – During the recent meeting between Ayatollah Khamenei’s senior advisor Ali Larijani and Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, Larijani offered that Iran send all the winter supplies the displaced people need via Beirut airport and asked Mikati to allow the Iranian plane carrying the aid to land at Beirut airport and be inspected by Lebanon…

Mikati rejected the Iranian offer for fear of America’s reaction.

Larijani suggested that Iran send this aid by sea, but Mikati also refused.

Larijani suggested that Iran send the money needed to meet these needs, but Mikati also rejected this proposal under the pretext of Western sanctions on Iran.

In order not to embarrass Mikati, Larijani offered to send Iranian aid via Turkey and on Turkish planes.

Mikati also rejected this proposal. Mikati therefore preferred not to receive the aid coming from Iran to the displaced people so as not to anger America.

⭕ For the first time in modern history, one country, China, has conducted a secret apocalyptic experiment, details of which are trickling out.

The aim of the experiment was to determine the survival rates of its telecommunications networks following a massive electromagnetic pulse attack induced by the explosion of atomic bombs in orbit or in the upper stratosphere, as well as EM pulse weapons (EMP).
⭕ A high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) attack simulation was created to evaluate the performance of all the Chinese Air Force’s electrical, electronic and opto-electronic equipment. The experiment applied 80 kilovolts/meter to electronic devices to simulate a nuclear explosion. The primary and secondary systems operated after a short latency period, maintaining the data-link communication network between drones, aircraft, autonomous munitions and command centers.
⭕ When the Arab League and almost all Arab states (with the exception of one) reiterate their commitment to the two-state solution and to the peace plan proposed in 2002, in which 78% of the territory of historic Palestine is allocated to the Zionist entity and the remaining 22% to the Palestinian Authority, this means that the Arab League has de facto recognized Israel for over two decades.

The Land for Peace solution no longer holds. Thirty years after Oslo, the Israeli government rejects the two-state solution outright, and has even passed a law in the Knesset making the proposal illegal. In short, neither land nor peace.

We would like to inform you that the Zionist enemy is spreading rumors claiming it has achieved victories and has eliminated the Palestinian resistance in Gaza. They allege that Hamas fighters are now fighting as individuals.

We want you to be aware that these Zionist claims are merely a dream they are holding onto. The Palestinian resistance in Gaza has become stronger than ever, and it has succeeded in drawing the Israeli enemy into a prolonged war of attrition, which will only end with the downfall of the alleged occupation state of Israel and the cleansing of occupied Palestine from this Zionist impurity.

⭕ 🤔 Thoughts on Missile Strikes “Deep into Russia”

🔹ATACMS

ATACMS is a high-flying ballistic missile with a fixed trajectory. 200kg warhead; effective range <300km; previously shipped to Ukraine only in the cluster munition variety.

The Russians have shot down far more than have hit targets. Of the last 100 or so shot down, the ratio has typically been in excess of 90%.

ATACMS is a mediocre, antiquated missile with limited effective range. It is FAR inferior to the Russian Iskander in every respect.

🔹 Storm Shadow / SCALP-EG

Storm Shadow / SCALP achieved a handful of early successes in Ukraine, but has since been shot down by the hundreds. It has been what the old-timers in my neck of the woods call “easy pickins”.

SCALP-EG is a subsonic, low-flying, maneuvering cruise missile. 450kg warhead, with ~500km range. BUT, to have any significant reach, it must be launched from an aircraft flying at high altitude. As with all air-launched cruise missiles, there is a direct correlation between the altitude at which the missile is launched, and its achievable range.

And this is where the big problem lies. When the launch aircraft rise to high altitude, they will light up all the Russian air defense radars across a broad swath of the front.

If you assume a very conservative 200km “kill radius” for Russian S-300 and S-400 missiles, virtually all of Ukraine east of the Dnieper is covered.

Of course, it must now be recognized that there is no longer any Ukrainian Air Force to speak of. It has given up the ghost, so to speak.

So the only practicable option is NATO aircraft flying out of Poland or Romania.

And those NATO pilots are going to have to launch from points considerably west of the Dnieper in order to stay out of the crosshairs of long-range Russian AD systems.

A vanguard operation to take out Russian air defenses is effectively out of the question. There will be no aerial refueling over Ukraine, nor any meaningful combat air patrol.

There is also negligible NATO air defense capability over Ukraine. The Russians are very likely to launch a significant number of fighters to oppose any cruise missile launches by NATO aircraft.

The Russians are also very likely to attack US/NATO ISR assets in the theater of battle.

Bottom line: I consider all this talk about “missile strikes deep into Russia” nothing but a chimera.

If the fools in the US/NATO do in fact attempt it to any appreciable degree, it may achieve some token triumphs, but its own losses will far outweigh those chimeric “victories”.
🔻 C1: Nobody is saying these ATACMS and Storm Shadows are a serious threat to Russia. Just that Russia considers their launch with a Russian target to be an act of war by US & NATO. It’s not clear that even a launch where the missile is stopped makes a difference.
🔻 WS: The fact is that MANY people are saying these threatened missile strikes are able to significantly hurt Russia.

That said, I fully agree that Russia will act boldly in response to such attacks — successful or not.

The Russians will consider it imperative to counterstrike.
🔻 C2: Everything is correct. But that’s not the point… Russia Federation military doctrine will consider this as USA-NATO attack on Russia Federation. For start Russia will retaliate and obliterated Kiev and some other Ukraine big towns. Russia will burn evey USA-NATO soldier in Ukraine. If USA-NATO don’t stop…. Next step is nuclear WW3.
I hope cool heads will prevail.
🔻 WS: I do not believe Russia will “obliterate” Kiev or other large Ukrainian cities. That would serve no purpose. They will act boldly, but always pursuant to their long-term objectives.
🔻 C3: There is also the question of when–not only will Russia act pursuant to their long-term objectives, they will also only act when appropriate. If, however, a ‘leaker’ gets through & hits an NPP or comparably sensitive target, expect Russian response(s) to reflect this.
🔻 WS: I’m sure there would flaming hell to pay if they struck a NPP — and not in Ukraine. It would be in the NATO countries that were ultimately responsible — like maybe sinking the Royal Navy in an afternoon. That would raise some eyebrows around the world.
🔻 C4: If Ukraine is able to kill large numbers of civilians in Moscow, Russia will likely make the Ukrainians pay a heavy price.
🔻 WS: Ukraine is NOT able to launch serious strike missiles at Moscow.
🔻 C5: The significance of this step is not that is poses a military problem to Russia or improves the situation of Ukraine on the battlefield.
The significance of this lies in the fact that NATO officially enters the fight.
🔻 WS: I won’t be suprised if nothing at all meaningful happens.
🔻 C6: I understand your point of view. now I’m curious. In your opinion, how would the USA react if American territories were hit by Russian missiles ? even if it was just a few symbolic strikes 😉
🔻 WS: It is an irrelevant hypothetical. The situation is what it is. The US already has military bases scattered throughout Europe. Russia understands it must roll back NATO power in Europe very carefully in order to avoid a global catastrophe.

It is a very complicated calculation.
🔻 C7: How would the USA react if American navy ships were hit by Houthi missiles? They would run away like the cowards they are.
🔻 WS: The USS Eisenhower absolutely ran away like a beaten dog. The USS Lincoln mostly just wandered aimlessly, safely out in the deep blue water of the Arabian Sea. But now it, too, is running away.

Once again, there is no US carrier presence anywhere in the region.
🔻 C8: Don’t remember which Russian war correspondent wrote about this and basically said those ATACMS created serious problems to Russian logistics to the point they stretched logistics thin and hindered progress along the front, based on that, this will cause serious issues to RU Army
🔻 WS: Over the entire course of this war, there has never been a shortage of clueless sixth-columnist Russian war correspondents.
🔻 C9: Hou forget to mention ATACAMS are also capable of fitting nuclear warhead.
🔻 WS: I don’t believe that is currently true.
🔻 C10: South Korean pilots flying South Korean F-16 out of Romania: |media|
🔻 WS: I assess the probability of this development to be ZERO.
🔻 C11: I agree with what you’re trying to say, but I have to point out that a 200km kill range by *any* SAM versus a fighter is extremely optimistic, not conservative.
🔻 WS: The Russians, firing an S-400 interceptor from southern Belarus, iirc, shot down a Ukrainian fighter at a distance of ~350km early in the war. 200km is well within the range of S-300, S-400, and S-500. And Russian AAMs (R-37 et al.) can kill reliably at 300km.
🔻 C12: Nobody is saying these ATACMS and Storm Shadows are a serious threat to Russia. Just that Russia considers their launch with a Russian target to be an act of war by US & NATO. It’s not clear that even a launch where the missile is stopped makes a difference.

On the other hand, many pundits are saying Russia’s response will be nuclear. I don’t think that will happen in this situation, but there will be a response.
🔻 WS: I do not believe Russia will respond with nuclear strikes in the face of a defeated NATO conventional attack. In my view, they can decisively defeat NATO power in eastern Europe via conventional means.
🔻 C12: The danger is that the ideology-driven lunatics in DC would respond to Russia’s conventional strikes with nukes. That I can see. Though this may cause some unpredictable friction between the US military (which still has some rational people) and the political crazies.
🔻 WS: I don’t believe the powers that be in Washington are suicidal. At least not yet.
[aha! Did I see two, or three, qualifiers enter the considered judgment? Hope dies last]
🔻 C13: The significance of this step is not that is poses a military problem to Russia or improves the situation of Ukraine on the battlefield.
The significance of this lies in the fact that NATO officially enters the fight.
🔻 WS: I won’t be suprised if nothing at all meaningful happens.
🔻 C14: You’re missing the point. Read the article, former head of the Main Operational Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces’ General Staff: “This can seriously change the balance of forces and means in favor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine”
🔻 WS: Nonsense. Several salvos of a dozen or more ATACMS were fired at targets in Crimea on multiple occasions. Over 90% of them were shot down or defeated via ECM. Even the Pentagon eventually admitted the ATACMS was struggling to hit anything. GMLRS was down to <5% by summer.
🔻 C14: You’ve been asked to provide a proof to these fairy tales
🔻 WS: It’s not my job to compensate for your lack of attention to the details of this war. Besides, from what I can ascertain scanning briefly through your timeline, you are much more an aficionado of #TheImaginaryWar.
🔻 C15: All correct, but the missiles could serve as a cover for an attack of another nature (other than drones…) like the one in Toropets of August 2024.
🔻 WS: The attack on Toropets was a one-off. They’ve tried the same thing several times since then, but achieved virtually zero successes. The Russians adapted their approach, and have recently been shooting (or defeating via ECM) 100% of 100+ long-range drone salvos.
🔻 C16: Act boldly, how exactly? More boldly or less boldly than how Russia acted when for the first, and likely last time, in the history of warfare a non-nuclear armed country invaded a nuclear armed country and months later they are still there?
🔻 C17: The ukronazis have lost over 32,000 of their best soldiers killed in the Kursk region since August, why rush to push out the enemy when zelensky keeps funneling his best troops there to be killed at leisure at the cost of other front line positions 😂
🔻 C16: I suppose all those 32,000 soldiers were killed by 17 Russians with no losses? No loss of hardware or destruction of property either? And far more importantly, no loss of Russian civilian lives? There are always two sides to a story. Your bias only allowed you to listen to one.
🔻 WS: The problem is that so few people understand that this war is producing the most disproportionate casualty ratio of any major war in modern times — BY DESIGN. The Russians are conducting a patient war of annihilation, and executing it in an extraordinarily economical fashion.

🔻 @_whitneywebb: If Trump is still bragging about the military-run Op Warp Speed and the removal of regulations it also entailed so mRNA vax tech could be finally taken to market under the fog of crisis (when it couldn’t even get through animal trials the entire decade preceding Covid due to safety concerns over LNPs and near-zero efficacy, etc.), I think RFK Jr really should address what his policies will be on mRNA and other biotechnology injectables as head of HHS bc since endorsing Trump he has been silent on this issue and VP Vance and many prominent Trump donors, like Musk, are deeply invested in medical genetically engineered products.

⭕ 🔻 @JDVance: They’re attacking Pete Hegseth for having a Christian motto tattooed on his arm. This is disgusting anti-Christian bigotry from the AP, and the entire organization should be ashamed of itself.
🔻 C2: It’s not a “Christian motto”

It’s a Papal Motto that was part of the crusades.
🔻 C3: The really telling thing about Hegseth’s tattoo, “Deus Vult” is that it was never in frequent use at any point in the history of Christianity prior to around 2012, the release date of the video game “Crusader Kings II”

🔻 C2: ‘Fuck yeah’ is ultimately appropriate here lol
⭕ ‼️🤦‍♂️ I don’t understand how so many people in my mentions seem to be unaware of the fact that 100s of ATACMS and 100s of SS/SCALPs have already been used against Russia. Also 1000s of long-range drones.

The Russians adapted quickly to all of them, and now routinely defeat them.
🔻 C1: Your numbers – there are 3000 atacms in storage they were given 100
🔻 WS: You are misinformed. Ukraine received at least 300 ATACMS, and probably nearer 400. Storm Shadow / SCALPs delivered were almost certainly in excess off 500 combined.

Many ATACMS and SS/SCALPs were also destroyed on the ground.
⭕🔻 Kit Klarenberg: Must-read. Mass backtracking on Ukraine’s long-range strike ability has commenced spectacularly. Surprised by how many people who should’ve known better thought this was hugely significant and concrete all-out war escalation. It’s simply not going to happen. |story|
🔻 Armchair Warlord: And who called it as a nothingburger first?😏
🔻 WS: Probably someone neither of us follow. 😏

That said, I missed out on the story until yesterday afternoon, given that I was being a church-goer.

But when I first read the news, I mocked it

☝️ Their lying is pisspoor. They tried to make it look like the floating carrier tomb had been in the Red Sea. But it never entered. And the US Seventh Fleet is based in Japan, on the way eastward to San Diego… all Anglo media is becoming worth less than zero.
NB. the pattern. A US aircraft carrier approaches Yemen too closely, and soon thereafter needs to return to homebase for extended “R&R”!

🔴IMPORTANT🔴 All these headlines that were run by the media & X handles to the effect that “Lebanon & Hezbollah agree to US proposal for ceasefire with Israel,” are incorrect.

📌Lebanon & Hezbollah have never rejected Resolution 1701 or the principles of resolution 1701, so saying they agreed to implement it is nothing new. In fact, Lebanon has been committed the full implementation of Resolution 1701, but not just from one side. The resolutions involves two sides & is a two way stream, Israel too has to respect & fully abide by its clauses. It is largely Israel that has failed to implement the agreement by breaching Lebanese airspace which the entity breached more than 33,000 since 2007.

📌So, yes to resolution 1701, but this time with definite mechanisms & guarantees to ensure Israel’s commitment & not just what is required of Lebanon.

📌Therefore, when Lebanon & Hezbollah say they agree to implementing resolution 1701, they mean so, but without the new outrageous conditions that are being imposed by the US/Israeli designed ceasefire agreement.

📌Accepting 1701 however, does not derail from the fact that several serious points of contentions remain, which Lebanon cannot accept & Israel is adamant about.

📌Today’s Hochstein’s @amoshochstein visit is to go through these points & for Lebanon to demand further clarifications. Hochstein, is also trying to get this deal going as a Biden achievement prior to his end of term.
This will not happen. The president who turned a blind eye on war crimes & who aided & abetted in a holocaust against the Palestinians will not be rewarded at his end of term.

📌There will not be a deal announced today, or anytime in the near future, as long as these sticking points remain. Remember this motto: I want never get? The same applies here: Israel wants does not mean Israel gets.

CONCLUSION:
There will be no deal prior to Trumps inauguration in January.
Back to the battlefield, which will eventually determine.

⭕ Lebanon Front news update:

It is expected that Israeli occupation forces have crossed south of Shamaa and are advancing toward the south of al-Mansouri to occupy the strategic Al-Hardoun high ground, which offers a vantage point overlooking Tyre. Hezbollah’s defence strategy is kinetic rather than static, allowing for fluid, adaptable engagements. This approach forces the Israeli forces to advance in large numbers, inadvertently playing into Hezbollah’s strengths, particularly its superior arsenal of anti-tank, laser-guided missiles designed to exploit exposed Israeli flanks.

⭕ 🇾🇪| The Yemeni Armed Forces announce:

The targeting of the “Anadolu S” ship in the Red Sea with a number of anti-ship ballistic missiles, because the ship did not respond to the warnings for violating the naval blockade.
[That’s a Turk name! LOL. Greetings, Brother Erdogan]
⭕ British Ambassador in Tel Aviv:

We are ready to put our planes and forces at risk to defend Israel.
[Dolt! They’re already in target sights. How many already fertilize Gaza, as in 404? And we await the fulfilment of Nasrallah’s promise to strike Cyprus too. R U listening Younger Alex!?? Get far away]

These ATACMS strikes into Briansk remind of one of my fav Bud Spencer scenes: the fearful “Mexican outlaw” using the hand of the foolish underling to smack the Hero. How did the Hero respond?? The USUK gangsters are in for a world of hurt. What remains of their existence has already been written in a Chinese fortune cookie: “You will live in Interesting Days.”

⭕ The Kiev regime staged massacre in the Trade Unions House in Odessa in 2014 to intimidate dissenters, a former Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) officer tells Sputnik

“The situation was that a certain trap had been created in Odessa, which was supposed to draw in as many anti-Maidan supporters as possible and, with the help of violence, torture and cruelty, show the whole of Ukraine what would happen to everyone who did not accept the new government,” he noted.   |media|
⭕ ❗️ Lavrov: ATACMS strike on Bryansk region is a signal that the West wants escalation

The missile strikes would be impossible without American participation, he emphasized. However, the top diplomat could not confirm whether the US officially granted Kiev permission to use its missiles for attacks on Russia.

Still, the Russian foreign minister expressed his hope that the West will carefully study the updated Russian nuclear doctrine.

💠 @Middle East Spectator:
⭕— ❗️🇷🇺/🇺🇦 NEW: Ukraine has struck a target deep inside Russia with US-made ATACMS ballistic missiles for the first time

The strike was conducted against a weapons storage facility in Russia’s Bryansk region, over 100km across the border. The Russian Ministry of Defense says six ATACMS missiles were fired, 5 of which were intercepted.
[Yes indeed. Santa will be quite busy with deliveries in Yemen this year]

💠 @imetatronink:
⭕ ⚡️ Missile Strikes on Russia

Some quick observations:

• This military base has been hit previously by Ukrainian drones and missiles
• Appears half a dozen missiles were launched; two possible strikes are seen in available video from the scene
• If these were ATACMS missiles, they were of the older, shorter range variety
• Ukraine claims they hit a North Korean ammo dump
• So far, not a very auspicious start for the great “Deep Strikes” missile campaign

No doubt the hunt is on for the launchers ..
