⁉️ India Pakistan Air Battle

So … has it been authoritatively confirmed / acknowledged that Pakistan’s Chinese fighters and missiles shot down FIVE Indian fighters?
🔻 WS: 🤔 I have not seen persuasive evidence that Pakistan shot down 5 Indian fighters.

But if, as some claim, India put up 60+ strike aircraft against 40+ Pakistani defenders and a formidable air defense array … well, I think it very plausible that 5+ IAF fighters were shot down.
🔻 WS: 🔹 I have noticed some Indians are sensitive to any suggestion that India is somehow inferior compared to its relative peers.

I suggested no such thing.

I believe if the US itself had mounted a similar airstrike against Pakistan, they would also have plausibly lost 5+ aircraft.

Resistance is what has shaken the Zionist regime after 70 years. This regime, for nearly 2 years, has had no security—where its people must rush to shelters every day, its ports shut down, its airports out of service.

That tremor in their core—resistance caused it. It’s a powerful force that is shaping the region’s future.

If you ask me what advice I’d give to our dear president, I’d say: We need a special advisor dedicated solely to the issue of resistance. It is a massive movement and a fundamental reality.

• Any company that violates the navigation ban on Haifa Port will be listed on the Yemeni sanctions lists, and its fleets will be prohibited from crossing the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.
• Anyone who contributes to breaking the ban on Haifa Port is considered a partner in the aggression and siege on Gaza.
• The Yemeni armed forces will target any vessel heading to Haifa or connected to it wherever they can reach.
• The ban on Haifa Port is a humanitarian and ethical decision to stop the aggression and open crossings to the Gaza Strip.

And exceptionalist militarist Zion (busy exterminating and too proud to farm/grow/toil) is dependent on the outside supply chains and world for almost all goods.

Russian diplomacy is geological, it’s siegecraft. It takes a lot of time and effort for Russia to commit to something, but when it does the process is not really reversible. The initial demand is the lowest, kindest it will ever be. Decline it, and you will be negotiating uphill from then on, and every step will be a gradual, methodical increase in cost. Washington negotiates like it’s flipping a condo in Queens and genuinely does not understand that this just does not work on Russia.

As for the Ukrainians, it would be a mistake to call what they do diplomacy. Diplomacy presumes statehood, continuity, a concept of national interest. What Kiev engages in is theatrical convulsion. Every word from Podolyak or Zelensky sounds like it was drafted for applause from redditors and NAFOids and not resolution in the real world.

🔻 Brian McDonald: Robin Brooks says the EU should “shut down Putin’s shadow fleet” in the Baltic to earn a seat at the peace table.
Let’s walk through why this idea is not just wrong — it’s dangerous. 🧵

First: there is no such thing as a Russian “shadow fleet.”
That’s a media term for tankers not insured in London — not mysterious Kremlin ships with black sails.

These are mostly old vessels, flagged to countries like Panama or Liberia, operated by third parties.

They’re used to carry Russian oil under sanctions — yes — but they are not controlled by the Russian state.

Second: how would the EU “shut them down”?

That would require interdicting ships in international waters or blocking access to Russian ports.

In plain language: a naval blockade.

And under international law, a naval blockade — unless authorized by the UN Security Council — is an act of war.

There’s no ambiguity here. Blocking those ships would mean opening a military conflict with Russia.

Third: the EU can’t do it — even if it wanted to.
The EU is not a sovereign state. It cannot declare war. It has no navy. It has no authority to order military action.
Only individual member states can act — and none are likely to launch a blockade of Russia in the Baltic Sea. It would be absolute madness.

So let’s be clear:
— There is no “Putin fleet”
— There’s no legal way to “shut it down”
— And the EU has no mandate, force, or authority to try

If EU leaders followed Robin Brooks’ advice, it wouldn’t get them “a seat at the table.”
It would put them at war — a war they’re neither prepared for nor legally able to start.

From a military standpoint, the events in Gaza ought to seriously concern those who believe the US could successfully strike Iran.

In just a few more days of 100+ rocket launches, the Palestinians will have exhausted the Israeli Iron Dome missile inventory.

1/n

It ought to astound observers that, in the midst of extreme poverty, the Gazans have managed to build up an inventory of THOUSANDS of primitive rockets.

The Iranians have many times more missiles than that, and of MUCH higher quality, speed, and accuracy.

2/n

The Iranians proved, with their attack on the Ayn al Asad airbase, that they can drop 1000 lb. warheads within a 5m circle from several hundred kilometers away.

Now imagine them launching several dozen such missiles against US warships in the Persian Gulf!

3/n

They would easily overwhelm US defenses, and almost certainly sink several ships, not to mention being able to strike US bases throughout the region.

The asymmetry of this new military reality represents a radically altered calculus for the Pentagon.

4/n

Now consider this analysis in the context of the South China Sea, or the Black Sea, and it becomes readily apparent that the US is no longer able to militarily intimidate its “near-peer” adversaries into compliance with imperial edicts.

We have entered a new era.

⭕️ 📝| READ: The US is not seeking a deal with Iran — They sabotage deliberately

Martyr Raisi’s Deputy Minister for political affairs’ shed light on some behind the scene indirect talks with the US, during the Raisi administration.

He said indirect negotiations were happening during Raisi, but the gov policy was not to publicize them.

For the same reason the US backed out of previous (JCPOA) deals, they did the same again this time, during Raisi era.

He said that just on the nuclear issue, there have been multiple agreements but every time they violated them.

• In 2010 (Ordibehesht 1389), a deal called the “Tehran Declaration” was signed. Obama had given a mandate to the presidents of Turkey & Brazil, Erdogan and Lula, to negotiate with Iran. They even drafted the framework. A deal was signed, and if you recall, they even celebrated — the presidents and foreign ministers held a ceremony. But then Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State at the time, gave a speech saying that Iran had only agreed to avoid sanctions. She tore up the deal.

Less than a month later, they put Resolution 1929 on the table — which is the harshest UN Security Council resolution against Iran, which later served as the basis for secondary sanctions.

Why did that happen? Because the US didn’t think Iran would agree. Their goal was to go through the motions, assuming Iran would reject the offer, so they could blame Iran and justify sanctions.

Dennis Ross, who was responsible for the Iran desk at the State Department and National Security Council, publicly said they crafted the best offer they were sure Iran would reject — just so they could shift blame and say, “It’s Iran’s fault.” And this is exactly what the Leader, Imam Khamenei, says today — that they’re not after a real agreement.

It wasn’t just in 2010. In 2012, there were also the Almaty-2 talks. The text was almost finalized after several rounds in Moscow. But again, the US backed out, saying, “Let’s see what happens after the elections.”

Later, when the 11th government (Rouhani’s) started, they scrapped the prepared draft and proposed a different set of conditions.

Even with the JCPOA — an actual agreement — they still violated it. So in different periods, including under the late President Raisi, we were close to reaching another deal in summer 2022 (1401). Everything was lined up, and the announcement was expected within days. But it coincided with the riots (WLF) of that year, and the Americans backed out, yet again. Even then, they were sending us messages.

When we went to New York for the UNGA in 2022, they told us, “Let’s do it after the elections, after the protests settle down.” But they kept postponing — again & again.

➡️ Plain and simply put: The US is not after a deal, they keep postponing & deliberately sabotage to further their agenda.

As part of this covert operation, people who had a history of being on the terrorist list were trained and sent into the field as new political figures, Jolani being one of them.

⭕️ 500% Tariffs on Russia’s Partners to Trigger ‘Economic Calamity Never Seen Before in US,’ Sen. Paul Says

A sanctions bill, proposed by US Senator Lindsey Graham,* demands 500% (or even higher!) tariffs on nations trading energy with Russia — hitting allies and the US itself, Senator Rand Paul said.

“[The bill] essentially amounts to an embargo. […] While tariffs make wars more likely, embargoes make wars difficult to avoid,” the official pointed out in an article for a US online magazine.

🤡 Paul highlighted that the US imported $624 million worth of enriched uranium from Russia in 2024 — asking:

“Are the proponents of this legislation honestly seeking to require the president to enact a 500 % tariff on ourselves?”

Despite 16,000+ sanctions, Moscow’s stance remains firm. Russia views its special operation in Ukraine as vital to national security, not unlike how the US defends its own interests, he emphasized.

⭕ ❗️Russian troops are currently working on creating a buffer zone in border areas with Ukraine, Putin said
⭕🇷🇺 WHY RUSSIA WANTS A BUFFER ZONE – MILITARY LOGIC EXPLAINED

Retired Russian colonel and combat veteran Anatoliy Matviychuk, who served in Afghanistan and Syria, breaks down the military rationale behind Russia’s push to create a 100 km buffer zone along its border with Ukraine:

🛡 “This won’t just be a demilitarized belt — it’s about shielding Belgorod, Kursk, Bryansk, Crimea, Zaporozhye, Kherson and Donbass regions from NATO artillery fire.”

🔎 Why 100 km?

“NATO-supplied long-range artillery can hit targets from 70 km. Add a 30 km safety margin — and you get a 100 km deep buffer.”

“In Afghanistan, the Soviet Union created a similar zone. Same logic, same scale.”

📍 Where exactly?

“We’re talking Sumy, Chernigov, Dnepropetrovsk, and Kharkov regions — territories bordering both the old and new Russian regions.”

🚫 No Kiev control allowed

“Yes, Ukrainians may live and farm there. But there will be no Kiev administration. Period.”

🎯 What does this mean for Zelensky and the Ukrainian Armed Forces?

“Push them back 100 km, and they lose the ability to launch raids, surveillance, or shell border towns with key weapons. Drones and long-range missiles? Maybe. But the backbone of their firepower — gone.”
👉 On Zelensky’s reaction

“He’ll cry crocodile tears, scream about ‘occupation.’ But our leadership won’t blink. The safety of our people comes first.”

The measure, announced yesterday by Putin, “aims to preserve the integrity of Russia’s western border, which is jeopardized by NATO’s constant policy of provocation,” Argentinian analyst Tadeo Casteglione told Sputnik.

The decision “reinforces the principle that the state has not only the right, but the duty to extend its defense beyond the physical border when threats emanate from it,” the international relations expert said.

• Russia has always stressed that it is ready for peaceful negotiations with Ukraine aimed at addressing the root causes of the conflict, and has never avoided contact;

• The creation of a buffer zone is a strategic necessity — to safeguard Russian citizens and prevent further threats from NATO-backed Ukrainian forces on the border.

An Iranian Parliament Member, Kamran Ghazanfari, emphasized that the US’s sole purpose in holding negotiations is to force the Islamic Republic into submission.

— Summary:

• Trump wants to boast about making Iran surrender if deal is reached
• Some officials within Iran want a deal with the US, despite the leader’s advice that it’s not wise

He said that from the very first week that the news was announced that the Iranian and American sides were going to talk to each other, he emphasized that these negotiations would not lead to any results and that no achievements would be achieved.

Ghazanfari noted: “If Trump reaches an agreement with Iran, he intends to present this as an achievement of his diplomacy at the regional and global levels and tell the world that we were able to force Iran to surrender at the negotiating table.” The second reason is related to the Iranian side, meaning that some people inside our country are still seeking dialogue with the US, because unfortunately some of our officials do not listen to the warnings and reminders of the Leader, Imam Khamenei, and no matter how much he says that negotiating with the US is neither wise, nor intelligent, nor honorable, they still do their own thing and do not pay attention to the leadership’s positions.

• The allegations first appeared months ago in anonymous media leaks;
• The US did not raise the issue with the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), where both countries are members and Sudan is on the Executive Council.

Sudan reiterated its commitment to the Convention, including regular reporting and a ban on chemical weapons. It rejects any unilateral actions that violate the Convention, especially from parties with a history of using false claims to undermine other states’ sovereignty and security.

Earlier, the US imposed sanctions on Sudanese leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, accusing him of “choosing war over good-faith negotiation”. Sudan condemned the move, saying the decision lacked the most basic principles of fairness and objectivity.

📜 Sic Transit Gloria Mundi
🔻 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙂𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙨 𝙋𝙤𝙙𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙩: Will,

There is a third option but it takes a political will the American elites, Deep State and MIC will never countenance:

Resign the ambitions for global hegemony and retreat to a regional hegemon status in the American hemisphere.

I would be interested to know whether you or historians reading this thread are aware of a hegemon retreating voluntarily.

The Peace of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648) and brought peace to the Holy Roman Empire, closing a blood-besotted period of European history that killed approximately eight million people.

I would make the case that Sweden (then Finland ceded to Russia in 1809) did this in the 18th century and one could make a case the Russian Empire did so reluctantly in the 1990s.

At the risk of seeming self-serving, I do a deep dive on this in my WarNotes podcast, Ep 002 “Fixing Fight Club: The Hegemon Steps Back”.

One of my research conclusions is that regional hegemons are very good at defense arrangements for their territory while global hegemons for a variety of reasons can’t institute a coherent and rational defense framework for the country.
🔻 WS: The entire point of my first paragraph is that the era of American empire is over, whether they go “scorched earth” on the way out or not. Empire can no longer be sustained. Relinquishment of global empire in favor of regional hegemony is the only rational option.
🔻 Caligula’s Horse: Progress, in either its left or right iterations, isn’t rational. And that is the true theology of the Empire. Problem is, it’s more or less the only glue binding together the various peoples living in the American Economic Zone. Retrenchment… to what? For what end?
🔻 Kit Klarenberg: My dear friend William, I wonder if you’ve cast gaze over a September 2024 the Jewish Institute for National Security of America report outlining US vulnerability in West Asia. It’s quite the read. I gave it a writeup at the time, key section highlighted: |link|  |excerpt|
🔻 WS: I don’t understand why so many people resist the indisputable logic of geography. But they do.

If the US attempts to make Big War against any of its favorite enemies (Russia, China, Iran, DPRK), it will suffer a comprehensive defeat.
🔻 Gun Barons: It really seems our politicians (and some of our military) have forgotten the importance of geography, distance and logistics.
Even in Ukraine, if logistics became contested (for now the Russians are not), it would ne lights out.
And China? No way, no how.
⭕ ‼️🔥 Smells Like War

Talks between the US and Iran have broken down, making war almost certain.

If past is prologue, they will wait until after the US markets close this afternoon before launching whatever airstrike scenarios they have cooked up.

Things will not go as planned.
[working backwards, this was posted yesterday, Friday]
🔻 WS: If indeed the talks have reached an impasse, and the Israelis are determined to strike Iranian nuclear sites, then they’ll try to do it sooner than later.

But they can’t do anything without substantial US support — so that’s the key.

Hopefully saner heads will prevail
🔻 George Galloway: I don’t think this is true
🔻 WS: I’ll be very glad if you are right.
🔻 RT1953: Take out Kargh Island major oil shipping port first. Maybe hit ports Bandar Abbas, Bushehr and Assaluyeh. That would cripple Iran. No oil, no money.
🔻 WS: This would not do anything to disarm Iran, who would then retaliate in force against American bases and ships in the region, and especially against Israeli strategic targets — and likely also the oil sheiks’ infrastructure.

Then what? 🤔

See the problem?
🔻 RT1953: and they will run out of $ fast.
🔻 WS: Non sequitur.

You evaded the question for the simple reason that you don’t have an answer.
🔻 RT1953: no matter what is done it’s going to be a problem. suggesting taking out ports and airfields. needs to be economic warfare
[how did the ones against Russia, or China, fare? One trick dementia babies..]
🔻 John LeGalt: didn’t you once say of course Iran already has nukes? Maybe I misremembered..
🔻 WS: I still believe Iran either already has warheads designed to be delivered by their existing missile stockpile, or that they could assemble them in a very short period of time.

Nuclear warheads aren’t rocket science. It’s decades-old tech. All you need is the fissile material.

⭕ ‼️ US / Iran Talks Update

Iranian FM Araghchi, following today’s brief talks in Rome, is still putting a hopeful spin on things.

But Iran is emphatic:

“Zero nuclear weapons = we DO have a deal. Zero enrichment = we do NOT have a deal,” the Iranian top diplomat stated.

The problem is that both the US and Israel are just as emphatic in saying Iran must ENTIRELY give up its nuclear program AND its ballistic missile production.

And, of course, that will never be accepted by Iran.

Will Israel compromise on these points? I consider that highly unlikely. Still, without US support, I don’t see the Israelis being able or willing to attempt air strikes against Iranian nuclear sites.
🔻 Girum®: whatever the action and whoever the backers, it is doomed to fail. A zero-enrichment proposal is a non-starter – full stop. Those pushing it lack the leverage to impose it. None whatsoever. 😎
🔻 Ephemeral: Israel has unconditional US support so it does indeed smell of war
🔻 Warezthebeef: Seriously, the West dictating to the world who can do what whilst breaking all the rules.
🔻 Nader N. CHOKR: We are dealing with psychopaths and insane people. Not rational actors. Does your analysis factor this in?
⭕ ✡️ “Thou art a bloody man.”

Purportedly reliable public opinion polls in Israel attest a large majority of Israelis supports the annihilation of the Palestinians.

By that same measure will the house of Judah be purged before the King of Kings deigns to save the remnant.
🔻 Ed H. Hanna: I would like to share two related thoughts on this topic:

(1) Humans are social beings, highly susceptible to — and significantly influenced by — propaganda amplified through peer pressure: from a psychological perspective, group interactions — such as cooperation, cohesion, and conformity — are driven by survival instincts. Studies have shown that individuals often align their behaviors or beliefs with group norms due to social pressure, even when they know the group is wrong. Resisting group consensus often requires considerable courage, independent thinking, or traits associated with neurodiverse personalities.

(2) From an anthropological perspective, religion and the state are foundational institutions of civilization, conceived to complement each other in fostering societal stability and cohesion: religion provides moral and cultural frameworks as well as psychological comfort during struggles, societal uniformity & harmony, while the state ensures governance, order, and societal development. Their roles vary slightly across cultures, with some societies substituting religion with philosophical or traditional practices, such as Confucianism in historical China. Both institutions are susceptible to dysfunction, corruption, or deviation from their intended societal roles.

Further exploration of these points, particularly the interplay of religion and the state, is inspired but beyond the scope of this post.

Finally, these insights, combined with a balanced understanding of the Palestinian-Israeli struggle, provide a robust foundation for drawing informed conclusions.
⭕🤔“Revitalizing the US economy through manufacturing growth, self-reliance in as many sectors as possible …”

YMMV and as always, this is just my personal opinion. But I believe in my bones in the mission and vision.
🔻 WS: Wow!

If you genuinely believe US manufacturing and self-reliance can be meaningfully restored in a year or two … well, I can only shake my head in befuddled disbelief.

In my view, it is utterly delusional to believe a disaster decades-in-the-making can be fixed in a year.
🔻 HUNTSMAN 🇺🇲: The blue sky will necessarily take numerous years to reach – anything durable takes time to build and put down deep roots.

At the same time, I don’t think most people except full-scale recovery of the American industrial base in that shorter timeframe.

I do think they want to see meaningful steps solidified and new economic growth happening (legitimate, not just FAANG stock increases), which I believe we will see in 12-18 months…a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things.

Could be wrong, but I’m in the arena pushing every day alongside many amazing people.
🔻 WS: Fair enough, Ross.

I will keep watching developments with great interest, even as I continue to believe:
📜 The Ashes Will Come First
🔻 Ed H. Hanna: In support of your point, Will, the Trump administration has declared a tariff war against the EU, while “the U.S. manufacturing industry relies significantly on advanced equipment and technology from the EU and Japan, particularly in sectors such as semiconductors and automotive production, where the U.S. seeks to expand its manufacturing capacity substantially.”

⭕🔻 Armchair Warlord: It’s not even imminent, it’s present. With this latest murder in Spain, the Ukrainian GUR having a Western-facing attack network isn’t even a matter for speculation at this point, it’s simply confirmed.

Let’s review:
– Robert Fico of Slovakia shot, barely survives
– Four separate Ukraine-linked attacks on Donald Trump’s person or property (that we know of)
– Three Ukrainians try to burn down Keir Starmer’s home
– Lately, Andriy Portnov murdered in Spain

These are just what I could come up with off the top of my head, I’m sure there’s many more suspicious incidents in the West linked to Ukraine in the last three years. You notice that it’s only Ukraine-skeptical politicians who are having to duck every time they go out in public.

Now, you may claim that Keir Starmer is a friend of Ukraine, but it’s also worth noting that he wasn’t shot. They went after his property, likely to send a message in case he ceases to be a friend of Ukraine. Although now that I’m thinking about it, what is actually rather interesting is that this attack happened after he (sensing a level of political danger that no level of electoral “fortification” could fix after Labour was thrashed in local elections) shifted right on immigration issues, flouting Davos Regime policy.

This suggests to me that, to an extent at least, the GUR’s Western attack network is not just being used to strike at Western leaders seen as being enemies of the Maidanite state, but also being used as a cat’s paw by Davos to threaten or eliminate their Western opponents in general – even in matters that have nothing at all to do with Ukraine. After all, the network exists and can launch effective attacks, and the Ukrainians rarely ask questions of their Western puppeteers. |link|

⭕ 🇱🇾 Libyans demanded the withdrawal of American and Italian forces from the country, as well as compensation for damage caused by NATO in 2011

I deliberately did not cover the protests that began in Tripoli against the head of the NUP Abd al-Hamid al-Dbeiba, since it is always clear how they will end. But this time, something new appeared in them that is worth paying attention to.

These protests were the first to call for the elimination of the causes of the problem, not just its solution. And the Libyans named the Italian and American military and political presence in the west of the country as the cause of their problems. The local media even wrote: if we eliminate the cause, we will eliminate the problem. According to the people, it is those who support al-Dbeibah militarily and politically, namely the Americans and Italians, who need to be removed, and not him himself, since he is only an instrument of Western interests. If he is gone, someone else will be installed.

Another interesting thing happened. During a protest outside the UN Support Mission in Libya, protesters blamed the West for the destruction of the country in 2011, demanding compensation. Incidentally, a reparations movement has recently emerged in Libya, demanding compensation for the destruction of the country by NATO in 2011.

I am attaching to the post examples of images that went viral in the Libyan segment on the eve of the protests.
⭕ 🇱🇾🇹🇷 The head of the Government of National Unity was able to take 400 million dollars from Libya to Turkey

American media reports that just last week, under the control of the head of the GNA, Abd al-Hamid al-Dbeibah, about 400 million dollars in cash were taken out to Turkey.

It is specified that the money was transported in different batches on Libyan Airlines planes from Misrata airport. In addition, al-Dbeibah re-registered dozens of villas and land plots in the prestigious area of ​​Tripoli – al-Andalus to his relatives. For example, the cost of one of the villas re-registered to his son-in-law is about 9 million dollars.

According to the publication, al-Dbeibah is trying to preserve his fortune in this way before his possible imminent departure from the post of the head of the Government under the pressure of the incessant rallies against him. I don’t quite agree with this. He has been sending money to Turkey almost from the very moment of his appointment, and the crowd on the street, even if it burns a million tires on the roads, will never overthrow him until those who installed him need it.

On video: traditional Libyan protest entertainment – burning tires and blocking roads with embankments.

🔻 Drop Site: “Not at All”: WFP Director Rejects Claims Hamas Is Stealing Gaza Aid

Cindy McCain, director of the World Food Programme, told Face the Nation that Hamas is not stealing the aid entering Gaza. She said incidents of looting are driven by the desperation of starving civilians.

The interview marked the first time in nearly 12 weeks that a major U.S. Sunday show directly addressed the U.S.-Israeli starvation siege on over 2 million Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

McCain warned that more than 500,000 people face famine, calling it “a man-made catastrophe.” While Israel has recently allowed limited aid trucks in, she said it’s “a drop in the bucket” compared to the 600 trucks entering daily during the ceasefire. Inconsistent access continues to block relief, especially in the north.

McCain also addressed Israel’s plan to route U.S. food aid through “safe zones” controlled by the Israeli military and private American contractors.

⭕ 🤔 Taurus Missiles and Other Thoughts

Germany has apparently assented to providing Taurus cruise missiles to strike Russia.

If Russia is targeted by Taurus missiles, I believe these facts obtain:

• They must be programmed by German technicians and launched by “volunteer” NATO pilots flying NATO jets — the entire process dependent on US-supplied ISR.
• It is claimed by many that the F-16 can carry a Taurus, but it has never yet been done, and would require extensive modification to airframe, avionics, and programming. It is doubtful that the 1980s-era airframes sent to Ukraine are worthy candidates for such an upgrade.
• The longer the Taurus must fly inside its purported 500 km operational range, the more likely it will be shot down, so they must close that distance and decrease flight time.
• Although the Taurus can cruise <100 m altitude, it must be launched from high altitude in order to achieve its advertised range. This will expose the attacking aircraft to detection and destruction.
• In my estimation, the Kerch Bridge is the most likely target for a Taurus missile attack. Militarily, its significance is minimal. But all the US/NATO/Ukraine have left to cheer for are symbolic victories, however transitory.
• To bring down the Kerch Bridge, it would take several 500 kg warhead Taurus strikes. I’d guess at least three dozen missiles must be launched in order to achieve ~10 accurate hits. And I don’t see any way a salvo of three dozen is even remotely possible.
• If Taurus missiles strike anything meaningful in Russia, there will be hell to pay for it. Anyone who believes Putin will “take it lying down” at this stage of the game is, I am convinced, woefully mistaken.
• It is not yet clear what the range of the hypersonic Oreshnik missile is, and how accurate it truly is. But Berlin is well within range of Kinzhals and Iskanders, and has no credible defense against them.

Happy Memorial Day to all my American followers. The hinge-point summer of 2025 is upon us.
🔻 Mike Mihajlovic: I wrote about the Taurus not long ago (March). Like many so-called “wonder weapons” before it, it’s not such a big deal after all. As usual, it’s about 80% marketing and only 20% real value.

The whole story about the taurus can be expressed through a proverb from the Balkans that sums it up perfectly:
“The mountain shook—and a mouse was born.”

A similar saying exists in Persian: “So much noise, and in the end, the roaring mountain gave birth to a mouse”. |link|
🔻 WS: To me, it’s just a SCALP-EG, with a little more speed and range.

Still, I would not be surprised if, on its first few attempts, in a substantial salvo (12+), it is able to score a couple hits.

The Russians will then quickly calibrate and adapt.

But they will also retaliate.
🔻 Mike Mihajlovic: Agreed
🔻 Ed H. Hanna: Considering the earlier NATO ISR aircraft operations over the Black Sea near the Kerch Bridge, as well as the leaked audio of a conversation between German generals discussing such an operation (attached below, March 2024),

I agree with your assessment that “the Kerch Bridge is the most likely target for a Taurus missile attack.”

The time delay between the discussion and execution of such an operation accounts for the time required to prepare for the operation (missile production and modifying or preparing the compatible aircraft that should be employed). |link|
🔻 StarBoySAR 🇭🇰 🇨🇳 🥭: Some additional thoughts on this; The transfer of the German Taurus stealth cruise missile to Ukraine is a significant escalation that has the potential to make Germany a direct party to the conflict in Ukraine for several reasons:

In addition to the ISR provided by NATO for last-minute updates on air defense systems and target information, the Taurus cruise missile primarily depends on highly accurate terrain mapping data to reach its designated target. The positions of the latest bridge, power line, trees, buildings, and other relevant features must be accurately mapped and preprogrammed to prevent a missile crash along its flight path “as Russian electronic warfare has rendered GPS useless. They jam it”

Last year, “The Times” published an insightful article on the use of long range cruise missiles and the significance of terrain mapping data |link|

Aside from the United States, probably only the German Bundeswehr has the most precise high-resolution vector data of Russian terrain. As you already stated German technicians will program the Taurus missile using these topography data, as well as NATO’s ISR data to map out the “perfect flight path” to its intended target

On September 30, 2021, the German newspaper “Die Welt” published a piece on how the German Bundeswehr now has some of the most accurate and updated topography data for Russia.

Use Google translate |link|

The Russian Foreign Ministry recently clarified what that means:

The following is a translated quotation from Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, made during a press conference on April 18, 2025.

“❗️ Without direct assistance from Bundeswehr servicemen, live firing of these cruise missiles is impossible. A strike by them on any Russian facilities, critical transport infrastructure – and Merz confidently designated the Crimean Bridge as a target – will be regarded as direct participation of the FRG in military actions on the side of the Kiev regime with all the ensuing consequences for Germany.”

He laughed and claimed that the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) do not target civilians or civilian infrastructure in Russia, and therefore he decided to provide Kyiv with long-range Taurus missiles.

— Will Germany be supporting Ukraine in a qualitatively different way?
— I see where you’re going with this — and yes, absolutely. There are no longer any range restrictions on the weapons supplied to Ukraine — not from the British, not from the French, and not from us. The Americans have lifted theirs as well. This means that Ukraine can now defend itself, including by striking military targets on Russian territory. We call this ‘long-range fire’ — we’re talking about equipping Ukraine with weapons capable of hitting military targets deep behind enemy lines. And that represents a decisive qualitative shift in Ukraine’s war tactics. Russia is brazenly attacking civilian targets. Ukraine does not do this. And we place great importance on ensuring that it remains that way.

🔻 WS: And exactly how are these Taurus missiles going to be launched?

Here are the platforms that can carry it — none of which are in the Ukraine inventory: Tornado, Gripen, F-15, F/A-18, Eurofighter Typhoon.
🔻 Caligula’s Horse: They’ll jerry something onto the F-16s or some such. Won’t matter in any case. They neither have the missiles nor launch platforms in sufficient quantity to change the trajectory. And I don’t think their drones can yet adequately saturate Russian IADS in preparation.
🔻 WS: The few times they have flown F-16s, they’ve been doing it at tree top level. To get any range out of the Taurus, they’ll need to launch them from much higher altitude, and from much closer to Russian long-range AD and fighters.
🔻 Caligula’s Horse: Ukrainians are inventive, have the whole of the Western technical-industrial brain trust behind them, and their leadership is spendthrift with their soldiers’ lives. I am confident that they’ll be able to launch some missiles as part of a more PR than military operation.
🔻 Doimo Manu: Concepts for the usage from ground and sea platforms are available. |link|
🔻 WS: Surface launching of Taurus will SIGNIFICANTLY decrease its range.

In any case, there are no such capabilities at present.
🔻 Doimo Manu: I doubt that it’ll take the time to adopt TAURUS to be ground-naval launched. For instance, its cousin, the Storm Shadow missile, or SCALP-EG in France, has been developed to be launched from surface vessels and submarines. |link|
[Yet even if successful, how do these innovations and gimmicks remove the attribution to Germany and USA?? How will they get the mighty Russkie to stand down and absorb the humiliation, without commensurate and worse incineration on the sorry perpetrators? And that is the only way they get to survive launching these. That we’re even HAVING these discussion highlights how late is the hour for the EUroCrazies]
🔻 Christoffer Ekberg: Taurus cruise missiles (developed as variant CL) can be ground launched by booster accelerators. They were offered to countries but were never produced commercially
🔻 WS: Ground-launching a Taurus would significantly reduce its range. But it’s a moot issue. There is currently no means by which to ground-launch a Taurus missile.
🔻 ⏳Towhee 🌏☮️: “”Military Review” emphasizes: the main problem in the transfer of Taurus missiles to Kyiv is the issue of their carriers. Most of the Su-24s, which were part of the Ukrainian Air Force, were knocked out. And whether the F-16 will be able to carry these missiles remains unknown. At the same time, there is still no talk of transferring Panavia Tornado or Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, as well as Mirage 2000, which are adapted for Taurus launches, to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”

“The magazine “Military Review” called the Taurus KEPD 350 “clearly an underestimated enemy”; according to the publication, many military bloggers are inclined to have a “hateful” attitude to the fight against these cruise missiles.

The Taurus is an air-launched cruise missile. There are two variants: the KEPD 150 and 350, which fly 150 km and 350 km respectively. Presumably, there is a variant with a range of up to 500 km. The missile travels at transonic speed at an altitude of 35-50 m above the ground and makes a “hill” before approaching the target (as, for example, the Javelin ATGM). The missile approaches the target using an inertial navigation system that includes laser gyroscopes from the American company Northrup Grumman – which is why Taurus is subject to export controls by the United States. In addition, the missile is equipped with a homing head, which provides automatic target recognition.

The “heart” of the projectile is the MEPHISTO tandem concrete-piercing warhead (weight 485 kg), which includes a shaped charge weighing about 80 kg and a high-explosive charge weighing 400 kg, the shape of which is optimized for penetrating concrete and heavy soil rocks.”

⭕ ‼️ Mike is a true expert, and always provides an understandable description of these matters.
links:
🔻 Mike Mihajlovic: What likely occurred was that the battery successfully detected incoming targets and initiated a launch. The complication arose from the nature of the attack: it was a coordinated strike involving low-altitude drones timed to arrive at the target area simultaneously with ballistic or cruise missiles in their terminal phase.

Once the fire control radar was activated—regardless of the specific target—it momentarily illuminated the designated airspace, allowing for initial detection. However, as soon as the radar is activated, Russian electronic warfare systems will pick up the signals. They require a maximum of 30 seconds to fully analyze and triangulate the radar’s position.

At this point, an Iskander launcher on standby, armed with one missile fitted with a high-explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) warhead and another with cluster munitions, would launch as soon as the targeting coordinates were entered. Within five seconds, both missiles would be en route. From detection to launch, it can take as long as 1.5 minutes.

Meanwhile, the Patriot missile system would attempt to engage the incoming targets, likely destroying some decoys or cruise missiles—but not necessarily neutralizing all threats.

After the engagement, the fire control radar would switch to passive mode (no emissions) if it remained in position, or it would be turned off if the unit was preparing to relocate immediately. An experienced crew would require approximately 25 minutes to disconnect equipment, hitch up trailers, and vacate the position.

By that time, the Iskander missiles would already be in flight or entering their final dive. Faced with the imminent impact, the Patriot commander might order personnel to abandon their combat stations, giving soldiers 5 to 10 seconds to get out of the cpmbat stations and try to reach designated shelters located 50 to 100 meters away.

To minimize collateral damage and avoid secondary explosions from unlaunched missiles, any remaining rounds would likely be fired in autonomous mode without guidance, ensuring they clear the launcher and detonate safely away from the combat position. Occasionally, these rounds may even hit residential areas.

Since May 20, Ukraine has expanded its attacks on Russian territory with Western-made drones and rockets, injuring civilians, including women and children.

In response, Russian forces have launched huge attacks against Ukrainian military facilities and industries.

Sputnik’s infographic shows where the Russian Armed Forces targeted Ukrainian military and industrial installations.

⭕ 💥 RUSSIA’S MASSIVE STRIKES: Why NOW?

🔥 Ukraine chose air terrorism – Russia chose PRECISION RETALIATION, says Igor Korotchenko, military analyst, editor in chief of “National Defense” magazine.

“Ukraine is a TERRORIST state — because sabotage operations have always been a strong suit of Ukrainian nationalists. They fully embraced this approach — through acts of sabotage & terror, including their current attempts to intimidate the Russian population with aerial strikes.”

1️⃣ PAYBACK FOR DRONE TERROR

“Ukraine launched hundreds of drones daily since May, targeting Russian cities, civilians, even kindergartens. This is air terrorism. Russia’s response is inevitable.”

Stats: 300+ Ukrainian drones intercepted DAILY across Russia.

2️⃣ DECAPITATING UKRAINE’S WAR MACHINE

“We strike ONLY military targets—factories making drones, missiles, and NATO weapons. Unlike Ukraine, we don’t target civilians.”

Key Example: Antonov drone factories in Kiev (critical for UAV production).

3️⃣ CRIPPLING NATO LOGISTICS

“Ports like Odessa are hubs for Western arms. We destroyed 100+ containers with drone boats, Switchblade munitions, and artillery shells.”
⭕ 🗣Ukrainian terrorist drone attacks against Russia are an act of desperation – defense analyst

💬 “The whole operation was supported by the US Starshield satellite system and Western ISR assets. Britain likely played a direct role, transmitting intel and identifying targets,” comments military analyst Alexei Leonkov.

Zelensky launched this escalation on orders from his Western handlers — especially the UK. The goal was multi-layered:

• Exhaust Russian air defense systems
• Gain leverage in direct talks with Russia
• Sabotage US-Russia negotiations — “dragging Washington back into the conflict despite Trump’s effort to de-escalate”

Russia’s strikes are targeted, verified, and military.

💬 “Every strike is verified. The targets are carefully selected and confirmed as military sites — facilities involved in assembling, upgrading, and repairing combat equipment.”
These are not symbolic strikes — these are precise hits on the real backbone of Ukraine’s war machine.

Ukraine’s conflict — guided by British advisors — is terrorist by design.
💬 “We saw the same script in Russia in the ‘90s and early 2000s — terrorists running wild to destabilize power.”
⭕ Hague’s F-16 Deliveries to Kiev Are Dangerous Step Toward Escalation, Russian Embassy Warns

⭕ 🇺🇸🇾🇪 America’s Military Humiliation: The Houthis exposed its waning power

It is very commonplace to blame reversals and even defeats in America’s various wars of choice as merely a matter of lack of will. If America really wanted to win, it would win, the story goes; the failure of the US is just one where it never commits the force necessary to finish the fight. But today, that excuse rings hollow. Trump’s Operation Rough Rider, unlike Biden’s operations, utilised many of America’s most limited, expensive, and advanced weapons to try to bring the Houthis to heel. And still it surrendered. The lessons here are thus quite bleak. America’s preferred and increasingly only viable method of warfare — aerial warfare — is no longer cost-effective nor practical. But the US has no alternative modes of warfare to fall back on, which means that its days as a military hegemon are probably coming to a close.

⭕ Key Statements by Lavrov at 13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues in Moscow

🔹On talks with Ukraine:

• First of all, the root causes of the Ukrainian conflict must be addressed.
• A date for a new round of Russia-Ukraine talks will be announced in the near future.
• During these direct talks, Moscow will insist that Kiev repeal “all discriminatory laws” currently in force in Ukraine.
• The Kiev regime does not represent the population of Crimea and southeastern Ukraine.
• Russia’s demands regarding Ukraine’s non-nuclear and neutral status must be fulfilled.
• The push to integrate Ukraine into NATO became the trigger for the conflict.

🔹On the West’s behavior, NATO and international issues:

• Russia’s retaliatory measures target only Kiev’s military facilities. It is sad that the West only reacts to Russia’s just and legitimate responses to Kiev’s terrorist attacks.
• Moscow considers unacceptable the West’s emphasis on the principle of territorial integrity while ignoring the right of peoples to self-determination.
• There has been no conflict in which the West was genuinely guided by respect for the sovereign equality of states.
• Global stability depends on the ability to prevent the West from advancing its own interests.
• The Western theory that conflict between major powers is inevitable withstands scrutiny in the real world – Russian-Chinese cooperation is a clear example of this.
• Russia is closely watching NATO’s troop buildup along its borders with concern.
• There is hope for progress in Tehran-Washington negotiations—they are moving in the right direction.
• In the fight against terrorism, Russia is open to cooperation with all countries that do not apply double standards.

🔻 Armchair Warlord: This deserves a longer comment.⬇️

We’ve been pushing Patriots into Ukraine for two-plus years now, ever since the Ukrainians started to run thin on their doomsday stockpile of Soviet S-300s. They’ve been failing to kill modern Russian missiles for the same period of time. And the “oh it’s just old stock” cope is definitely not valid here, the Ukrainians have been getting the latest PAC-3MSE interceptors and every missile, radar and launcher that could be wrung from the Davos Regime’s global force structure. They have accomplished little to nothing, with Russian attacks routinely sailing through dense missile defense coverage with little to no attrition. Ditto in Israel, where Israeli Patriots faced modern Iranian ballistics barreling straight into their launchers – an ideal intercept scenario – and turned out to be perfectly useless.

The simple fact of the matter is that the Patriot system – despite upgrade after upgrade – is obsolescent. PAC-3 was designed after the 1991 Persian Gulf War to kill R-17 Elbrus/”Scud” missiles, which the Iraqis used with some success to harass Coalition forces in that conflict. That threat is three full design generations behind modern “Red Force” missiles. Patriot manifestly lacks the kinetic performance and precision needed to defeat modern threats. It cannot and will not perform in battle.

What is the US Army doing about this, a problem we’ve known about for two years now? As near as I can tell, practically nothing! The Army has continued its glacial expansion of the THAAD force (currently at a grand total of seven or eight batteries worldwide) and it’s made some lazy talk of eventually firing (rare) SM-6 missiles from its tiny force of ground VLS launchers. That’s it. That’s the future of high-end missile defense in the US Army that isn’t coming off a Patriot launcher. And apparently we cancelled the program to replace PAC-3 MSE last year, because it was too expensive!

Just to give you an idea of how thin the vaporware of the latter capability is, the Army currently plans to acquire a grand total of sixty-four (64) ground VLS tubes. Not batteries. Not launchers. Tubes. Tubes which do not have an associated ground AEGIS air defense radar and which are currently 100% dedicated to Tomahawks.

The US Army’s strategy for future missile defense, as of the Year of Our Lord 2025, three years into our front row preview of World War Three, appears to be to just… pretend that Patriot performs as advertised and hope our bluff doesn’t get called. This is beyond unacceptable. People need to get fired over this. Some should probably be prosecuted.
[links his older, “This despite the fact we’ve had radars looking at Iskanders and Kinzhals for more than three years now so it’s not like the Russians are throwing novel threats at us.

🔻 Armchair Warlord: By the way, as of the end of last year we’d sent at least 847 PAC-3 MSE rounds to Ukraine.

China, the countries of South-East Asia (ASEAN) and the Arab states (GCC) just held a summit in Kuala Lumpur to forge what could become the world’s largest economic bloc, covering everything from free trade agreements and de-dollarization to Belt-and-Road connectivity.

Together, these countries have over 2 billion people, 30% of the world’s GDP and, crucially, about 55% of world GDP *growth* in PPP terms.

In their joint statement (here) they agree to:

1) Massively develop free trade between them
“Promoting free trade and welcoming the full conclusion of the ASEAN-China Free Trade Area 3.0 Upgrade Negotiations, and looking forward to its early signing and entering into force, as well as an early conclusion of the China-GCC Free Trade Agreement negotiations”

2) Bypass the dollar
“Exploring cooperation on local currency and cross-border payments”

3) Belt and road expansion, for “seamless and efficient inter-connectedness”
“Promoting high quality cooperation under Belt and Road Initiative and seamless connectivity, including through the development of logistics corridors and digital platforms”

4) Develop a cross-regional digital economy framework, including in AI
“Exploring a cross-regional framework to promote the digital economy, in areas such as digital trade, e-commerce, digital payment, fintech, artificial intelligence, start-ups, and data security cooperation”

5) Energy markets coordination
“Supporting global energy market stability and adopting a balanced approach that does not exclude energy sources but instead innovates technologies that enable emissions management and efficient use of all energy sources”

In short, this could represent nothing less than the most significant realignment of global economic power in generations, bringing together 2 billion people and more than half of the world’s GDP growth under a single cooperative framework.
🔻 Arnaud Bertrand: Interestingly, they also agreed at the meeting to coordinate on the response to the Trump tariffs: “consensus […] that any deals negotiated with Washington would ensure the interests of the region as a whole were protected”
🔻 The Nutter Projects: Another interesting lens to view this through would be:

A single throw of the dice big enough to shatter Russian statehood for good; no messy nuclear calculations, no full‑scale mobilisations in Warsaw or Berlin, but a perfect chance of having Russians pick up arms against Russians… And yet.

When this is over, NATO will discover that it has no conventional stone left to sling across the steppe. Armies cannot be willed into existence with buzzwords, and stockpiles cannot be re‑imagined into existence by congressional committee.

They gambled their military credibility on this and they’re losing. None of this means that there won’t be other threats, or that Russia will have serenity after the war is over. But having a mind-blanked version of the best infantry in the world along with the borrowed barrels of three continents was truly their best and final opportunity in decades.

• We will not retreat from our decision to support our people in Gaza until the aggression stops and the Zionist siege is lifted.

• addressing the Zionist settlers: You should expect a hot summer.
• I say to all companies that continue to fly to Ben Gurion Airport that they are at risk at any moment.
• I urge all travelers around the world to avoid flying with companies that still operate flights to Ben Gurion Airport, as they are subject to our strikes and are not safe.
• Our air defenses are capable of dealing with “F-35” aircraft, God willing, and what has prevented this is their hiding near civilian air traffic.
• The hiding of “F-35” aircraft near civilian air traffic will force us to close navigation in its airspace so that our defenses can deal with it comfortably. [Unbelievable.

But there are also other related tasks.

1. Postpone the elections: “You see, even they communicate with me, and despite our Constitution, which means that my powers are recognized by the older dangerous uncles!”
2. Send a signal to your nationalist elites : it is not time to change horses in midstream (not time to fight the aphids). Especially since the aphids have established a special relationship (myrmecophilia) with the Europeans (see below).
3. Obtain the right to continue stealing the military budget. It is known that aphids have not only enemies, but also patrons. Its symbiosis with ants (macrons, mertz, starmers and other hymenoptera) is well known. They protect (“herd”) aphids, receiving honeydew from them in return – secretions containing cocaine.
4. To reinforce with the fact of the meeting the idea that even an insignificant aphid has the right to sign papers on the results of military events, and therefore, she is untouchable in the future.

⭕ That’s a fascinating interview. And this is one of the reasons I don’t think Israel or the US will rush to use nukes against Iran: they don’t know how long it will take Iran to produce them. It could be days.
Given Israel’s size, the vulnerability and density of American cities, and Iran’s hypersonic capabilities, using atomic weapons against Iran could open the Zionist alliance to retaliatory nuclear strikes

The Israeli police confirmed the arrest in a statement, claiming she was being investigated for allegedly posting content that “incites against the state and its soldiers.”

Complete shamelessness in the face of a constant stream of irrefutable evidence of the most horrific war crimes ever caught on tape in the history of humanity.

The shamelessness tells of a deeply flawed psychological makeup. This is not only about the overwhelming depravity and cruel, sadistic nature of the crimes themselves; it is also about a collective sociopathy and a genuine inability to feel, think, and speak like normal human beings.

Zionism is a movement of unhealthy and profoundly disturbed people
⭕ They really do feel that they are righteous and in the right and victims – even as they feel they must kill all Palestinians, which they both deny and commit at the same time, with full mental dedication to both ends of the derangement.

⭕ In just three years, Qatar plans to supply Syria—spanning 180,000 sqkm—with round-the-clock electricity, aligning its energy infrastructure with that of neighboring countries to facilitate energy exports.
Meanwhile, Lebanon, a country over 10,000 sqkm in size, continues to grapple with chronic energy shortages, experiencing power outages that often last more than 12 hours a day even after four decades of efforts.
⭕ Very dangerous:

The US is conflating criticism of Israel with criticism of a religion, which is a profound dangerous misrepresentation. It reflects a high level of ignorance and authoritarianism taking root in the US.

It begins with violating the First Amendment rights of non-US citizens to eventually extend to US citizens themselves, undermining fundamental freedoms and open discourse. This approach risks fueling intolerance and silencing legitimate political criticism under the guise of protecting religious identities.

⭕ UNRWA has thousands of trucks stationed in Jordan, 3 hours from Gaza, capable of feeding approximately 200,000 people for an entire month. However, Israel continues to block their entry, effectively weaponising food supplies that are meant to sustain the Palestinian population. This deliberate obstruction adds a grave dimension to the ongoing humanitarian crisis, turning essential resources into an unlawful tools of pressure and control.

For over a century, Palestinians have endured a relentless cycle of violations and crimes against humanity and war crimes, dating back to 1920. Their suffering, marked by displacement, violence, hunger, genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid and systematic oppression, persists to this day, reflecting decades of unresolved injustice and ongoing human rights abuses.

Why don’t we trust Steve Witkoff’s plan and Trump’s guarantee of a ceasefire in Gaza? 

I agree. The Anglo-Zionists use these “negotiations” and “ceasefires” to increase the pressure and pain of the Palestinians and humanity at large, as well as to get breathers for themselves, from global opprobrium and Yemeni punishment. They should be denied them, under current arrangements, especially “guaranteed” by the faithless Yanquis

Are some starting to whine, like our little coked-up Pianoman, about the arms?? Do they not realize, the armory’s nigh bare?? All this talk of “stopping arms” masks demilitarization, not unwillingness to continue the customary ritual bloodletting of continents.

Friday, 3 Dhul-Hijjah 1446 AH

His Excellency Marshal Mahdi Al-Mashat, President of the Supreme Political Council, confirmed that the armed forces will be able to deal with hostile Israeli aircraft without causing any harm to air and maritime navigation.

In an official statement, the President disclosed that good news will soon come regarding the Israeli aircraft used in the aggression against Yemen.

He said, “You will soon receive good news, God willing, about the Israeli aircraft used in the aggression against our country; our armed forces, represented by our air defenses, will make the pride of the enemy’s aircraft a source of ridicule in the coming days.”

He added, “For the safety of air and maritime navigation in the operational areas of our armed forces, we have directed the identification of the routes used by the Israeli enemy to attack our country as hazardous areas for all companies.”

President Al-Mashat emphasized that, for the safety of companies, they should avoid navigation along the routes that the Israeli entity uses to attack Yemen.

“If this happens, he’ll have to hold elections and answer before his electorate for what he turned Ukraine into over the last six years,” Vassily Nebenzia stated at the UNSC.

Key statements by Nebenzia:

• Another reason for why the conflict is still dragging on is European warmongers, who are trying to keep Washington stuck in the conflict;
• Russia will “consider all options” to respond “properly” if Germany supplies its Taurus missiles to Ukraine;
• Merz’s maneuvering is not “fooling anyone.” Germany may be drawn into the conflict if its policy remains the same;
• Russian troops are able to continue combat operations in Ukraine as long as necessary;
• Russia is ready “in principle” to agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine, but it also wants Kiev to take steps in this direction;
• It is fundamentally important for Russia to permanently resolve the root causes of the conflict.

⭕ African Countries Expect to Increase Grain Purchases From Russia

🇷🇺🌾 As Africa’s grain consumption outpaces its production, the continent is increasingly looking to Russia to meet rising demand. In 2024, African countries imported approximately 71 million tonnes of grain, with a growing share coming from Russia.

Gerald Masila, Executive Director of the Eastern African Grain Council, emphasized at the All-Russian Grain Forum that long-term trade, fertilizer supplies, tech assistance, and port modernization could deepen cooperation.

Currently, Russian wheat supplies one-third of Africa’s grain market, reaching 40 countries. Exports have surged by a third over six seasons, with notable growth in Algeria, Kenya, and Tunisia.

🌊 The Black Sea corridor and strategic partnerships could further strengthen this vital trade link, Masila added in an interview with Russian media.

⭕ A few hours ago, Israel targeted three locations in Syria housing surface-to-surface missiles. Interestingly, media outlets aligned with the new Syrian leadership claimed these warehouses were linked to the “previous Assad regime.”
Given the purportedly positive relations between Syria and Israel, perhaps it would be more efficient for Syria to simply disarm itself and hand over all leftover weapons from the former regime to Israel. This could minimise destruction and make the use of bombs unnecessary. (This is sarcasm.)

⭕ ❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇳/☢️ Laurence Norman, nuclear weapons specialist for the Wall Street Journal:

‘To sum up the comprehensive report on Iran’s nuclear weapons and the latest quarterly report on Iran’s nuclear program, it would be pretty simple: it couldn’t be worse.

The pace of Iran’s accumulation of highly enriched uranium is at least 1 nuclear weapon amount of fuel per month: 133.8 kg of uranium between February 8th – May 16th.

There is no sign that Iran has modified its HEU production since nuclear talks with the U.S. started on April 12th.

As for ‘safeguards’: Absolutely no hint of progress on any of the issues. The IAEA concludes that that Iran retains large amounts of undeclared nuclear material and nuclear-related activities at three undeclared locations: Lavisan-Shian, Varamin and Turquzabad, considered a ‘high risk’.
