Historically there were time cycles of 19 years (half a biblical generation of 40 years?) that were notable.

• 2020 – covid
• 2001 – 911 (itself encodes a 19 in the date) to launch the GWOT fuse for Armageddon in the Holy Land
• 1982 – (?? when they launched the prep for Able Archer?? what was it?)
• 1963 – the Dealey Plaza execution to enshrine Truman’s 1947 Security State control
• 1944 – Bretton Woods conference in New Hampshire which enshrined universal human slavery through the usurious U$D

📍ATLANTIC OCEAN (March24, 2025) USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28) launches a Rolling Airframe Missile during a live-fire exercise while underway conducting training evolutions in support of deployment readiness.
🔻 SIMPLICIUS Ѱ: The “most lethal and advanced naval force in the world” wouldn’t have to tell the world it’s “the most lethal and advanced naval force in the world”
[they can ask the Royal Navy the climb-down process for leaving the status of Supermensch – and being reduced entirely to their glorious tradition of “rum, the lash and sodomy”, per Churchill]
🔻 WS: 🔸 The Severe Limitations of the US Navy’s Air Defense Systems

The RIM-116 “Rolling Airframe Missile” is a 1970s-era design, modestly upgraded over the years. The US Navy ordered ~1500 of them, not all of which have been delivered.

Only ~500 of the latest generation Block 2 (RIM-116C) missiles have been ordered. Delivery numbers to-date are unknown.

How many have already been expended in the ongoing Battle of the Red Sea is also unknown, but it is unquestionably a substantial number.

The Mk-49 launcher (of which only two are fitted on US aircraft carriers) carry only 21 missiles each.

The Phalanx CIWS on US guided-missile destroyers is being gradually replaced by the Mk-49 system, but only a few have been converted so far. DDGs will only carry one Mk-49 launcher.

Keeping in mind that it is standard procedure to launch at least 2 air defense missiles at each incoming threat, it is not too hard to do the math if you imagine a carrier strike group being attacked by a modest salvo of 150 drones and 50 antiship cruise missiles — the only missile types which the Mach-2 RIM-116 can hope to intercept.

And then, after imagining the results of a modest salvo of 200 drones/missiles, imagine that salvo being followed, within minutes, by another modest salvo of 200 drones/missiles.

And then ANOTHER modest salvo the following day.

The Iranians are unquestionably capable of launching multiple 200 drone/missile salvos at a US carrier strike group in the Persian Gulf or northern Arabian Sea.

The Chinese are undoubtedly capable of launching multiple 1000 drone/missile salvos at a US carrier strike group in the South or East China seas — and do it day after day after day after day …

You see the problem here? |media|
🔻 Lord Devlin: US Navy should build a new generation of Phalanx with two GAU-8 cannon – something that can match the performance of the Russian Kashtan and Chinese Type 1130. It would be a bit of a monster, but far more straightforward than hypersonic missiles

🔻 Lord Devlin: The scenarios you describe are the modern version of “a ship’s a fool that fights a fort”. Not much has changed in that regard

⭕ 🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦 Ukrainian Telegram channel RezidentUA writes:

Syrskyi is effectively preparing for the surrender of three key regions, which are becoming increasingly vulnerable as the Russian army advances, and the Commander-in-Chief is unable to stabilize the front.

The situation on the front line is critical for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and there are almost no reserves left to plug the gaps. The tempo and direction of military operations are now determined by the Russian army. The Ukrainian military has been in a defensive position for over a year, losing key territories in Donbass, Dnepropetrovsk, and Kharkov, and after the failure of the “Kursk adventure,” the situation in the northern part of the country is worsening as well. This situation is reflected in reports from Rand Corporation, where experts acknowledge that the numerical and resource imbalance makes any counterattacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces extremely vulnerable.

At the same time, the defense of Sumy, Kharkov, and Dnepropetrovsk regions has been a failure for the Ukrainian military command. The West is aware of this issue, as even CNN emphasizes that Dnepropetrovsk is already under pressure from Russian forces. However, knowledge and understanding do not provide help, as the Ukrainian military is lacking not only equipment but also basic personnel. Additionally, Western aid supplies are running out, and new shipments are delayed or blocked due to political disagreements, according to European sources.

Against this background, the lack of any clear actions to strengthen the regions by Kiev can only be seen as preparation for surrender.

We have not retreated from any of our positions or red lines, and we will not give up our dignity, honor, or interests due to pressure and threats from others.

The path of diplomacy is open, as far as we are concerned. But if our enemies push us into another situation, we know very well how to defend ourselves.

• In this meeting, we are launching into a battle of jihad and work, as action is paramount for the upcoming phase.
• The government must take action, local authorities must take action, and judicial bodies must take action. Serve the citizens; everyone must act within the framework of their responsibilities.
• I assure you that the aggression has failed from day one. We had previously obtained information to thwart the aggression before it occurred, which spared us many damages that could have happened had we not succeeded, by God’s grace, in obtaining this information.
• Whenever you hear that the American enemy, with its insane administration, has amassed more forces, rest assured.
• If the Americans have mobilized more, it means that their weapons have failed.
• Our confirmed information indicates that Truman has lost its leadership and control and has been out of service since the early days of the aggression.
• The aggression against our country has come once or twice from Truman, and the rest from other locations, which we are monitoring.
• Truman has achieved nothing for the enemy, forcing it to bring in more forces and use other weapons.
• Our position in supporting our brothers in Gaza is steadfast, and we will never retreat from it.
• We will not back down from our principled, ethical, Islamic, and humanitarian stance in supporting Gaza until the aggression against it ceases and the siege is lifted.
• It saddens us that there is unprecedented Arab complacency that has reached the level of collusion.
• We do not care about any challenges resulting from our honorable stance with Gaza.
• The horrific crimes in Gaza and its siege, along with the Arab betrayal, compel us to take a stand, no matter the consequences.
• We support Iranian diplomacy in its efforts to resolve its issues with its adversaries, just as we supported, encouraged, and congratulated its success with Saudi Arabia.
• We are currently facing American aggression as a result of our rejection of the genocidal crimes in Gaza.
• The American role has come in the context of supporting Zionist crimes in Gaza.
• The Americans and Israelis are attempting to isolate the Palestinian people, which is unacceptable to the people of faith and wisdom.
• We cannot allow the Americans and Israelis to isolate the Palestinian people in Gaza.
• “The madness” of the criminal Trump may proceed with certain peoples, but the essence of the Arabs is nobility, and this cannot be overlooked.
• Neither you nor your father, Trump, can prevent us from fulfilling our humanitarian, ethical, and religious duty towards the people of Gaza, no matter what.
• Addressing the criminal Trump: You stand before the people of faith and wisdom, and the world has seen a man and a woman undeterred by your American bombardment, as if they were a mountain from the mountains of Yemen.
• Addressing the criminal Trump: That man, who remained unshaken by your airstrikes, has become an icon for millions of Yemenis who are unperturbed by your missiles, bombs, and strategic bombers.
• The Yemeni woman withstood five bombs from your strategic bomber while Trump trembled when shot at and injured in the ear.
• The leader’s strong positions rely on this resilient and original people, fulfilling their aspirations.
• The American aggression against our country is a violation, transgression, and challenge to all international agreements and laws.
• The criminal Trump will be held accountable for all that he has done against civilians and civilian properties, whether he remains in office or not.
• Trump perhaps thought he was coming for a leisure trip, but he has fallen into a strategic quagmire.
• To Trump: Your presidential term is not enough to achieve your ambitions.
• We do not pose a threat to anyone except the “Israeli” and the “American” for their aggression against our country.
• The American is trying to instill fear in this and that from us; we would like to reaffirm that we do not pose a threat to anyone except to the Israeli and American due to their support for Israel and its aggression against our country.
• Those who attack our country and support the Israeli crimes are the ones we pose a threat to.
• We do not care at all about anyone’s support of the Americans for “Israel”; we only advise them not to be shamed and disgraced by this crime.
• We are prepared for all scenarios and ready to defend our country.
• The situation is reassuring on all military, security, and economic levels.
• We are all ready to defend our country and to take down any aggressor against our nation.

• We rely on a strategic strength represented by unified leadership under Mr. Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and a united people under the leadership of the Commander, along with a government and official institutions that support this harmony.
• We thank the security forces; they are highly vigilant and are monitoring anyone who gets involved in this battle.
• This battle has no title; it is neither “Muslim killing Muslim” nor “legitimacy”; it is now Jewish against Muslim.
• We will be strict against anyone who stands with the American and Israeli forces in this battle; the security agencies are monitoring and will deal with them sternly.

• Our security agencies are aware of many attempts.
• I thank the honorable ones who reject the dollar, the riyal, and the dirham in exchange for their honorable stance and the justice of the cause.
• Many Yemeni figures, like mountains, have stood firm against all attempts and temptations, and I extend my gratitude to them; they know themselves.
• We are approaching a great victory, and God will distinguish the righteous from the wicked.
• To anyone tempted by the devil, I say: we are approaching victory.
• Before every victory, there comes a shaking to distinguish the righteous from the wicked, and victory will come after this pure garment is cleansed in a manner befitting victory.
• I advise anyone tempted by the devil to hold onto honor; this is the shaking before victory, the shaking before the opening; the person prays to God to keep them steadfast.
• In recent rounds, there have been tremors, strong positions, and rumors, but this is the shaking before victory according to divine custom to distinguish the righteous from the wicked.
• We direct the security agencies and the judiciary to be firm against anyone involved in this battle.
• I have been informed that there is a tribal movement among many tribes to create a document of honor against the traitors; legally and constitutionally, the penalty is clear: it is death.
• The armed forces are monitoring movements and preparing for any possible scenarios; we have all the elements of strength after God: the strength of the leader, the strength of the people, and the justice of the cause.
• We will launch our battle, and we will continue to support Gaza no matter the challenges; victory is ours, God willing.
• The conspiracies of the enemies, as they failed before, will fail again, God willing.
• To those betting on Trump, I say: what do you see in him after you have tried him? What are you betting on?
• There are communications and attempts to spare some Arab regimes and many powers from involvement.
• Trump sank into the quagmire of Yemen and sowed resentment towards America in the hearts of the world; he must be left in his quagmire.
• Trump has shown that Americans are a key partner in all of his Zionist crimes.
• Trump has brought disgrace and shame to everything happening in Palestine, now reflected on the American face.
• The American people must realize that Trump has brought you shame for nothing in return.

⭕ 🇺🇸❔ Foxconn: Why Trump’s Plan to Bring Manufacturing Back to the U.S. Fell Flat

2025 is not Trump’s first attempt to “bring manufacturing back home”: in 2017, he stood in Wisconsin and called the new Foxconn factory “the Eighth Wonder of the World.” The promise? 13,000 jobs and a high-tech manufacturing boom, in exchange for nearly $3 billion in tax breaks.

But years later, the reality is hard to ignore: the factory employs only about 1,100 full-time workers, and the grand plans for advanced LCD screens quietly vanished. As reporter Chuck Quirmbach put it:

“After the groundbreaking, Foxconn soon started to scale back its projections, saying business conditions had changed for the larger computer and television screens they originally promised to make.”

Even local business leaders are clear-eyed about why the plan didn’t work. Dale Kooyenga, president of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, pointed out that tariffs did more harm than good:

“The problem with some of these tariffs is that it rolls up into the manufacturing cost. And it’s not only the cost — this is $600 billion, which is the largest tax increase in U.S. history if you consider tariff taxes, which nearly all economists do.”

And the uncertainty created by tariff wars and shifting global conditions left factories — and workers — in limbo. Kooyenga summed it up perfectly:

“No one knows what’s going to happen at factories and how long any tariffs will stay on.”

Kooyenga also noted that Wisconsin has a lot of what’s called “advanced manufacturing” – items made overseas by lower-wage workers are put into more sophisticated products in the US.

Despite all the big speeches and groundbreakings, the Foxconn plant in Racine County stands as a quiet reminder of the gap between political promises and economic reality.
[these appear insincere “vanity projects” used to rope in insouciant bobble-heads pining for the return of manufacturing. Like singing similar performance chorals of being “a peacemaker” shortly before ramping up the savagery and bringing on the Last War. The reality is THEY LACK TIME. And are NOT interesting in the prior templates – now realizing they can neither grind the civilizational-states into submission, nor wait them out. All this protectionism talk is a decent dose of euthanasia for the home front, to prevent them from being a headache until it is too late and the dirty deed done.]

⭕ 🧵 Post-War Disposition of Territories

I initially (February 27, 2022) thought this would be the most likely outcome of the war … |THREAD|
🔻 Игорь KирилловZV🇷🇺 🇧🇾🇷🇸🇨🇳: Minimum program?
🔻 WS: More or less. But I suspect that we have reached a point where the “maximum” has already entered the game.
🔻 readysetgo888@yahoo: That is what I am thinking as well. Hopefully, Russians are smart enough to realize, that is what they need to do if they want to get on top of this war.
🔻 6180339X: Odessa and Mykolaiv are going to hold independence referendums, just like Lugansk and Donetsk, they are just waiting for Zelensky’s junta to lose power.
🔻 Carlos_Banger: Yeah, if there are Russians boots on the ground somewhere in Ukraine now, it’s probably gonna be Russian territory forever. Not sure how that goes the other way.
🔻 Pandem(on)ical Order of Good Cheer: Plausible map, but wondering now if
a) RF’ll want to keep at least E. bank of Dnieper all the way into Belarus, to police UKR efforts to send nastiness (mines, marine drones, toxins) down the river, & to stay within artillery range of Kiev.
b) little blue strip to Transcarpathia?
🔻 Brandon: Very likely. But why not just cede Western Ukraine to Poland?
🔻 WS: I don’t see that they need to “cede” anything. They can simply let things happen in the natural course of events.

Let Poland, Hungary, Romania et al. sort out the problems left over from the end of WW1.

That said, the Russians will oppose the militarization of the region.
🔻 Walter Kurtz: Dniepr, a large river, would be easy border to control from Bielorussia to approx Kmremetchouk.
Kiev would be divided with chekpoints on the bridges.
Difficult border would be west of Dniepr
🔻 WS: Maybe @witte_sergei would like to update his map.

Either way, I only meant it to give a “general idea” of the question.
🔻 Walter Kurtz: No problem.
Anyway, I think it’s a very long way till Odessa…
🔻 WS: As I have been saying all along, I am convinced Odessa to the Danube, and Transnistria, will be reassimilated into Mother Russia effectively without a fight.
🔻 Cat of Estonia: Genuinely wondering, why you think so? Putin hasn’t said that, and militarily they are have not managed to occupy even the four provinces they annexed.
🔻 WS: I think most people have failed to listen closely to what Putin (and many others) have been saying all along. The map above is consistent with those things, as Putin also touched upon in the Tucker Carlson interview.
⭕ 📜 Fall Like A Thunderbolt

Over two and a half years later, this commentary is as relevant as ever — especially now that we know the degree to which the US/NATO have been running the show all along, and the Russians have lured them into multiple traps.
⭕ cont. thread:
🇺🇸 Skedaddle

Multiple reports confirm the US is withdrawing troops from Syrian bases.

It occurs to me the immediate motivation for this move is that the bases where these troops are currently deployed would be counterstrike targets if the US launches attacks against Iran.
🔻 Karen: Trump wants Bagram back. Maybe they already got it back..Seems like a good spot to have to poke at Russia, China & Iran some more. Oh,Trump wants US weapons back! Like the ones more likely than not sold in black market! |media|
🔻 WS: This thread (including most of my replies) speaks specifically about the absurd notion of the US attempting to move back into Afghanistan:
reposts his older, “🤦‍♂️ Absurd

In the context of a war against Iran, there is ZERO strategic logic for the US to control Bagram Airbase.”
⭕🔻 U.S. Naval Institute:
#OTD in 1988, the U.S. Navy engaged in its largest surface battle since WWII when it launched Operation Praying Mantis against Iranian targets. The operation was in retaliation to the Iranian mining of the Persian Gulf that had severely damaged the frigate USS Samuel B. Roberts. |media|
🔻 WS: 🤦‍♂️ 1988 was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Now an entire carrier strike group is bottled-up in the northern Red Sea by the Yemeni, and the US Navy would be unable to transit the Strait of Hormuz, nor operate in the Persian Gulf in the context of a war against Iran.
🔻 William C: There is no shifting the US myth of overwhelming military might. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, are summarily consigned to dusty history books & documentary reels, while Desert Storm & such are pumped as glorious victory. I’m not sure the sinking of 3 Carriers would move the needle
⭕ 🔥 Yemen MQ-9 Score Update — XX

The Yemeni, using domestically produced missiles, have shot down yet another MQ-9, bringing the total to TWENTY over the past year+.

The US MQ-9 Reaper is obsolete on 21st century battlefields, even against the supposedly lowly Yemeni.
📜 Scorch Marks in the Sand
🔻 Craig Corcoran: And so are aircraft carriers!
🔻 TheCakeisaLie: At 56-100 million a pop fully loaded and armed (according to Deepseek which may or may not be accurate) that’s a lot of money wasted to facilitate Israel’s genocide.
🔻 Dirty Lowdown Rabble: It isn’t a battlefield weapon, the MQ-9 is an assassination tool used to murder the unaware and momentarily exposed.

The fact that Trump is spending this much money – hundreds of millions – misusing this device – is ironic, given the screeching about ‘waste’ in government.
⭕ cont. thread:
I was not hardly the only one, but I was among the relative few who argued as early as late 2023 that the ATACMS missile was proving to be an embarrassing bust.

Now that view has become the consensus “received wisdom”.

The Russian Iskander has been an impressive “game-changer”.
🔻 C1: From what I heard, the ATACMS was quite effective at first but they were overused so, over time, the Russians were able to map their radar profile and then intercept them. But I am no military expert.
🔻 WS: The ATACMS went from about a 25% success rate for the first few weeks to <5% in the last year of their use in Ukraine. They were an abysmal failure.

The Storm Shadow cruise missile was just as bad, if not worse.
[it is astounding how EVERY weapon system, and most platforms, were profiled and rapidly digested in the two hot battlefields. And this the Last Drang of the International Pirates Coalition. There is no time nor means nor societal vigor and reservoir to innovate, rebuild, refit and relaunch a next Drang on mankind. They’ve blown the wad. They’re reduced to naked Rules-based Terrorism, to be hunted down as the criminals they stand exposed, without even a fig leaf]
⭕🔻 Z.O.V Military:
Five Russian stormtroopers appeared on the horizon and a crowd of English-speaking mercenaries ran back shouting: “There are five of them!” |media|

And presumably, this helmet cam footage came from one of them who didn’t run away quite fast enough.

I guess they thought it would be a great idea to go to Ukraine and live out their Grand Theft Auto fantasies in real time.

It’s actually kind of depressing to realize just how little official attention has been paid to Ukraine.

Just saw a quote on a TikTok video abt SU-57 vs F-35

“T-80 turrets have more flight time than an SU-57.”

🔻 Armchair Warlord: Nobody tell the USAF that the Russians probably have real flying aces right now, who got their kill marks against people they trained lmao
🔻 Heath H: Bullshit.

If they did, it would have been on every propaganda blog.

The Russians are such a joke they don’t even try to make the claim.
🔻 Armchair Warlord: Three years in and the UAF hasn’t gotten a single air-to-air kill, btw.

Just figured you’d like that statistic. 😉

⭕ 🇺🇸🇸🇾 U.S. Begins Troop Drawdown in Northeastern Syria, Closes Three Outposts

The United States has begun withdrawing hundreds of troops from northeastern Syria, according to a report by The New York Times on Thursday.

The move includes the closure of three out of eight small U.S. military outposts in the region, with total troop numbers expected to drop from around 2,000 to approximately 1,400, the report said, citing two senior American officials.

[What are the odds the main oil terminal named “the Head of Jesus” was incinerated on Good Friday by the Last Satanic Empire?]
⭕ 🇺🇸💥🇾🇪 U.S. Central Command released a statement regarding the strikes on Ras Isa port in Yemen:

Destruction of Houthi Controlled Ras Isa Fuel Port

The Houthis have continued to benefit economically and militarily from countries and companies that provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. The Iran-backed Houthis use fuel to sustain their military operations, as a weapon of control, and to benefit economically from embezzling the profits from the import. This fuel should be legitimately supplied to the people of Yemen. Despite the Foreign Terrorist Designation that went into effect on 05 April, ships have continued to supply fuel via the port of Ras Isa. Profits from these illegal sales are directly funding and sustaining Houthi terrorist efforts.

Today, US forces took action to eliminate this source of fuel for the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists and deprive them of illegal revenue that has funded Houthi efforts to terrorize the entire region for over 10 years. The objective of these strikes was to degrade the economic source of power of the Houthis, who continue to exploit and bring great pain upon their fellow countrymen. This strike was not intended to harm the people of Yemen, who rightly want to throw off the yoke of Houthi subjugation and live peacefully.

The Houthis, their Iranian masters, and those who knowingly aid and abet their terrorist actions should be put on notice that the world will not accept illicit smuggling of fuel and war material to a terrorist organization.

🐻 “This strike was not intended to harm the people of Yemen…” – In reality, harming the people of Yemen was exactly the purpose of these strikes.
⭕ 🇺🇸💥🇾🇪 U.S. airstrikes on Ras Isa port have killed at least 17 workers and port staff, with dozens more injured.
[This is the main oil sea terminal for all north Yemen]
⭕ The death toll from the US bombing of the Ras Isa oil facility has risen to 33 killed and 80 wounded, according to local media.

💠 @ejmalrai:
⭕ Israel, under the current government, does not appear intent on ending the war. Instead, it is pursuing a limited agreement or temporary truce, primarily to regroup and resume military operations in Gaza at a later stage. Israeli leadership has shown little interest in Hamas’s latest proposal, which includes the release of all Israeli captives in exchange for a complete ceasefire and a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
⭕ The death toll from a US military airstrike on the Ras Isa port in Yemen’s Hodeidah governorate has risen to at least 38. An estimated 102 others have been injured. The strike targeted one of Yemen’s main oil facilities, leaving dozens of port workers, paramedics, and civilians among the wounded.
⭕ The US occupation forces in Syria have reduced their troop presence from 2,000 to 1,400, but there are no signs of a full withdrawal anytime soon. Don’t be misled. This is not an end to the occupation, and false hopes should be avoided.

💠@Middle East Spectator:
⭕ Last night, American aggression targeted the Ras Issa port in Hodeidah, killing port employees. Airstrikes subsequently struck ambulance crews and civil defense teams that arrived in the area

Meanwhile, over 30 people were reportedly killed in Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip on Friday morning.

On March 18, Israel resumed strikes on Gaza, citing Hamas’ rejection of the US ceasefire extension. It also cut electricity to a Gaza desalination plant and blocked humanitarian aid.

⭕ Russian Orthodox Church Denounces Moldova’s ‘Blatant’ Actions in Blocking Access to Holy Fire from Jerusalem

“The advisors of the Moldovan authorities, obviously far from Christianity, think that they will solve some political task of their own by this.

The bishop of the Moldovan Metropolis was not allowed from Chisinau to Israel for the Holy Fire, reports said earlier.
