⭕ 🇸🇦/🇱🇧 Saudi Arabia’s ‘Al-Hadath’ before they got the memo:‘Three Syrian Army (HTS) soldiers were killed by armed men after they crossed into Lebanon by mistake.’
🇸🇦/🇸🇾 Saudi Arabia’s ‘Al-Hadath’ after they got the memo:
‘Three soldiers of the Ministry of Defense were kidnapped and tortured to death. Hezbollah violates the Syrian border, and Damascus responds by shelling their positions with artillery and rockets.’
💠@ejmalrai:
⭕ retweet:
In Trump’s new order, anyone can become Palestinian
⭕ A Syrian tank operated by the new authority was destroyed during clashes on the Lebanese-Syrian border while engaging with Lebanese residents of Hosh al-Sayyed Ali. This village straddles both sides of the border. Tensions escalated between the Syrian forces and Lebanese inhabitants defending their side of the divided town.
[this was yesterday. AB Atwan intimates provocateurs (zionazi/western) are trying to detonate war between Shia of northern Lebanon and Syrian headchoppers. And it should not be hard, given the IQ and natural inclinations of salafis]
⭕ With the US approval, Israel violated the ceasefire. It resumed the war on Gaza, killing 236 people, only for the Israel prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, with an ICC arrest warrant for his war crimes, to remain in Power.
🔻 Abū Luʾluʾ: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! It’s time for the Axis of Resistance to respond with impunity by removing sectarian takfiris from Syria, down US air carriers and burn Tel Aviv down to the ground.
🔻 EM: with what?
🔻 Abū Luʾluʾ: Elijah, the past 70+ years let alone 18 months of genocide is all the proof we need. Ballistic and hypersonic missiles should be raining down.
🔻 EM: By whom? While Lebanon is licking its wounds, Syria is bombed and yet flirting with Israel and attacking Lebanon, Iraq has been out of the equation for a while, and Iran is a country (not a militia) avoiding a war with the US?
🔻 Abū Luʾluʾ: You don’t have skin in the game. I have family in the region who are terrified because they know the enemy is relentless and won’t stop until they get a bloody nose.
🔻 EM: Go and fight then instead of showing courage with words on X.
🔻 Abū Luʾluʾ: Stfu you French piece of shit. You native country has blood on its hands
[no this is not the way to do it. Too soon to pull the hasbara. Standards have fallen]
🔻 EM: So, the best you could do is produce shit out of your mouth when you have no argument left? It reveals your education at best. Have a nice day.
⭕ The resumption of the war on Gaza, the end of the ceasefire unleashing hell on the Strip & the bombing of Daraa and Al-Kiswah in the Damascus countryside with multiple air strikes will open the door for Itamar ben Gvir’s return to the govrnmnt & strengthen Netanyahu’s coalition.
⭕ So the President of the United States is content to kill hundreds of civilians, mainly children, in Gaza? Nothing new really. All previous presidents have done this before him, supporting genocide and mass murder of civilians. |media|
⭕ Prepare for a long war: Israel has committed a massacre in only a few hours and has violated the ceasefire by refusing to respect phase one and move to phase two. It is targeting civilians and political and administrative members of Hamas who are not involved in any military activity and who have been visible for 15 months.
Israel will go to the end because Netanyahu cannot withdraw now. Netanyahu is neglecting the Israeli prisoners and is counting on the USA (@SteveWitcoff surrender plan) to achieve the impossible goal of Hamas surrendering without negotiations, a plan he hasn’t achieved in 15 months and won’t achieve in the coming months. |link|
🔻 🇵🇸🔻: Is there any chance Hezbollah will begin resistance activities against the Zionists still in Lebanon?
🔻 EM: Unlikely.
⭕ Was Donald Trump re-elected for him to be complicit in the killing of 113 Palestinian children in Gaza in a few hours only?Shame!
⭕ The only people to blame are Benjamin Netanyahu – who didn’t want to stop the war even when he agreed to the ceasefire, violated phase one and never participated in phase two – and the US envoy Steve Witkoff, who blew up the ceasefire agreement and imposed an extension of phase one, adding his own conditions.
[keep the duplicity of this zionazi in mind, as do Russians as they “negotiate” through his “good offices”]
⭕ Benjamin Netanyahu, with an ICC warrant for his war crimes, today, with the approval of the USA, killed more than 412 people and wounded more than 500 in just a few hours by bombing the entire Strip. With this move, he will welcome Itamar Ben Gvir with open arms in order to strengthen his coalition in the government.
⭕ The Palestinian resistance is preparing for a possible ground invasion, a return to the Netzarim corridor and the north of Gaza to confront the occupation forces. All options are on the table.
💠@imetatronink:
⭕ 🤦♂️ The Antiwar PresidentSo many people deluded themselves into believing Donald Trump would be an antiwar president, even as he packed his cabinet with Iran hawks.
Welcome to the Last World War.
🔻 WS: And remember, Iran is not alone.
📜 All for One and One for All
🔻 Pandem(on)ical Order of Good Cheer: Time will tell.
🔻 WS: Hardly anyone believes Russia and China will support Iran against the US and Israel.Of course, hardly anyone realizes Russia and Iran share an interior maritime border (Caspian Sea), and China and Iran are only separated by friendly Afghanistan.
🔻 Pandem(on)ical Order of Good Cheer: I find plausible arguments for both perspectives. But as intuitions go:
1. RF would directly defend China & *might* directly defend Iran.
2. Iran *might* directly defend Russia but how much help could it be to China?
3. China seems unlikely to directly defend RF much less Iran.
🔻 CatoTheYounger: I’m already against war with Iran, no matter the false flag excuse the US warlords try to use as their excuse for yet another war. Wesley Clark discusses 1991 conversation with Paul Wolfowitz, where Wolfowitz outlines Neocon Warmonger plans to invade Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, IRAN….. |link|
[welcome to the chat. Your grand-daddy’s refrain is most apt to the global gestalt!]
🔻 WS: The thing very few understand is that a US ground war against Iran is simply out of the question — a material and logistical impossibility. 1991 and 2003 were a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.As for an air campaign …
First of all, it must be understood that the tall tale that Israel penetrated and savaged Iranian air defenses last October is just another chapter in the mythology of #TheImaginaryWar.
No Israeli aircraft crossed the Tigris, and contrary to common belief, there was never ANY credible evidence that any front-line Iranian AD systems were destroyed. All we ever saw in terms of credible post-strike BDA was a Vietnam-era Hawk system that was almost certainly placed as a decoy.
If the US/Israel launch a major air campaign against Iran, they would no doubt inflict some damaging strikes, but they would also suffer significant losses — fighters, tankers, ISR platforms, punishing strikes against their bases in the gulf region, and very possibly ships sunk or severely damaged in the Arabian Sea. (There is zero possibility the US Navy could enter and operate in the Persian Gulf in the context of a war with Iran.)
The whole idea of making war against Iran is madness.
And the idea of making war against Russia and China is orders of magnitude crazier.
📜 Staggering Towards the Abyss
🔻 C2: Why are you surprised?
REPOSTS his older tweet from Jan 11:
“Forget Trump´s wind of change. Some minor domestic improvements, conservatism will prevail over woke madness but nothing changes for the rest of the world.Dems&Reps are 2 sides of the same coin. An over-indebted, deindustrialized, financialized economic system dependent on foreign resources and riddled with oligarchy and corruption that needs never ending wars to survive. A parasite eating out its hosts.
Americans have imperialism deep in their genes. After all, they are all the descendants of pioneers, adventurers, slavers and conquerors, who left Europe to settle the New World.
The native Americans know best.”
🔻 WS: You obviously are not familiar with what I have been writing for the past several years.
📜 “Man of Destiny” or “What Can Be, Unburdened by What Has Been”?
🔻 C3: We don’t want a war but you can’t allow unanswered attacks by the houthis so what are you going to do?
🔻 WS: The Yemeni had ceased attacks on regional shipping since the Gaza ceasefire started!The US is the one who attacked Yemen.
🔻 C4: Will, you are smart enough to know there is a MAJOR difference between air strikes and boots on the ground!Air strikes remind the Houthis they need to stop with the troublemaking.
🔻 WS: Non sequitur.In any case, the Yemeni had ceased attacking regional shipping since the ceasefire in Gaza began.
THE US ATTACKED YEMEN WITHOUT CAUSE, AND THE YEMENI FIRED BACK.
🔻 C5: Yeah I was somewhat surprised that we attacked “out of the blue” without a Houthi attack to retaliate for. Preemption or distraction? Of/from what?
🔻 WS: They attacked in a futile attempt to assuage their humiliation over the past year+. Yemen has become Moby Dick to the US Navy, and Captain Soggy Cookie in particular (formerly skipper of the USS Brave Sir Robin).
reposts older from Dec 2024:
🏆 Military Achievement of the Year – 2024Over the course of 2024, the Yemeni have chased away FOUR US Navy carrier strike groups:
CSG-2 (CVN69 – USS Brave Sir Robin)
CSG-9 (CVN71 – USS Teddy Bear)
CSG-3 (CVN72 – USS Fraidy Abe)
CSG-8 (CVN75 – USS Trembling Puppy)Remarkable.
🔻 Lt. Dick Dowling: Get real, this has been inevitable and it’s been allowed to fester for years.
🔻 WS: What are you even talking about?
🔻 C7: I think he is saying that war with Iran was ineveitbale, regardless of el presidente? WE may find trump will actually punch back, and then that perhaps mighty Iran is not invincible or even competent? Who knows?
🔻 WS: What is this “punch back” nonsense? Iran hasn’t attacked the US. The Yemeni had ceased attacks on regional shipping since the Gaza ceasefire. The US attacked Yemen without cause! And now they’re threatening both Yemen and Iran because the Yemeni tried to defend themselves? 🤦♂️
🔻 Autodidact: Maybe it does take place. Maybe it’s inevitable, not to sound like a cynic. But can you deny that Americans will be majority of the last remaining golden billion?
🔻 WS: I have no idea what you’re trying to say.
🔻 Autodidact: |link|
🔻 WS: I know what the “Golden Billion” is. What I don’t understand is why you apparently believe the US will survive essentially unscathed in the event of a great power war.
🔻 Autodidact: I am in that camp. The strategic advantages the US has are unparalleled. It is going to be supremely bloody is what you’ve been saying, if it ever gets to that. Agreed. But still, US will be the last one standing. Time will tell.
[mayhap the last among the West.. but all will eventually wail for USUK’s last bastion pirate base, “Alas, Babylon!”]
🔻 looooool 🇦🇺🇮🇹: You think the Americans have a magical nuclear shield?
🔻 Autodidact: Yes.You think they went home after cracking the code on thermonuclear devices? The technologies they possess might boggle even the most sophisticated mind when they are brought out.
🔻 WS: You’re drooling silly talk. |link|
🔻 looooool 🇦🇺🇮🇹: American exceptionalism is matched only by American stupidity.
🔻 Roberta Sutton: Trump should have been told by Tulsi that USA cannot win against Iran. She must know. The Pentagon has gamed it many times. and since then Iran has RU defences & electronics.
🔻 WS: Gabbard is a hard-core Iran hawk. This is what I was trying to tell people back when they were cheering for her to become DNI.
🔻 Roberta Sutton: Well then. Trump will have to learn the hard way. Iran can beat him EASILY AND Israel. No need for China or Russia to come in.
🔻 WS: I don’t believe Iran can “beat” the US and Israel “easily”. All I believe is that Iran can “HURT” the US and Israel severely, if it comes to war — not to mention it is entirely possible Russia and China would get involved in such a war.
🔻 The Poets Of Zwan ⭕️🪶🏴☠️: Gabbard has been 5 different ideologies since 2015. A chameleon who can change on a dime. She was probably the mole in the Bernie 2016 campaign. A deep state operative no doubt.
🔻 Roberta Sutton: Ritter and Larry Johnson thinks she’ll tell the truth – but she won’t stop being a Zionist and anti-Islam.
🔻 The Poets Of Zwan ⭕️🪶🏴☠️: Ritter still has trust in the deep state apparently.
🔻 Roberta Sutton: Opinions differ about which operatives are with the DS
🔻 The Poets Of Zwan ⭕️🪶🏴☠️: That’s precisely what the deep state is. No one knows what it is, and who’s working for it.
🔻 Deon Opperman⚡Dixi et animam levavi.: More to the point, she’s a hardcore Zionist.
🔻 Decelerationist1: That’s why Trump just offered to recognize Crimea as Russia. He’s trying to bribe Putin to abandon Iran. While I think that’s pretty unlikely today, unfortunately Putin’s history says it isn’t impossible
🔻 WS: Recognize Crimea as Russia?!!! Crimea IS Russia, whether the US recognizes it or not. Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson are also Russia, whether the US recognizes it or not.Offering the Russians things they already have is meaningless.
🔻 Decelerationist1: I agree bc if nothing else who’s going to take it? Still, what’s happening is Trump trying to drive a wedge between Iran and Russia
🔻 Dr Ragin: Russians can recognize Alaska in exchange. It can even be a multilateral agreement with France recognizing Lousiana and Mexico recognizing Texas.
🔻 Charles K Loyd: I see in some of your posts you are familiar with the Bible. One might ask “who/what is ‘Mystery Babylon”? And ponder her fate.
🔻 WS: |link|
🔻 David Eire: I don’t think it will come to war with Iran
Hating on Iran is one of the things US politicians have to do
Just like they have to swear allegiance to the zionist regime
They all do it every so often to earn their shekels… sorry I mean donations
Trump did stop the Gaza genocide
[so this is their new narrative. To sell the new genocide in terms of the one that was so briefly stayed (and even then in part, with about three Palestinians murdered each day of that “cease fire”). Unbelievable. Lies nested within lies, themselves within more lies. With a gaslighting cherry on top]
🔻 WS: What? 🤦♂️The Israelis permitted hundreds of thousands of displaced Gazans to reenter the strip during the ceasefire, and now they have shut the prison doors again and are proceeding to starve them all to death.
🔻 Heidi Wurst: Will is correct. That’s also why the Yemeni Houthis decided to blockade the Red Sea … to protest Netanyahu’s genocide in Gaza and West Bank until is ceased. Once WW3 ignites with US attacking Iran, it will not be easily stopped.
[yes. why I said in early 2024 or late 2023 that every one of the Gazans is doomed. I have not changed my mind one bit. Yet they have salvation and the next life. Every zionazi that survives Armageddon will be hunted down on this mortal coil. They long ago chose the path of Masada]
🔻 David Eire: Good point 👍
Pure evil
🔻 Free Cow Flow: Will, I have learned much from you. Thank you. Has there been a recent upgrade of missile tech that is making these CSGs vulnerable or are we just waking up to the truth?
🔻 WS: For the most part, the Yemeni have been using antiquated “hand-me-downs”. They are obviously not high-precision weapons, but they get close enough to force an air defense response. And that exhausts the limited AD missile inventory of a CSG. So then they run away to restock.
⭕🔻 Sean Berube: A vicious battle ensuesThe crew battles the whale for 3 days
They fight fiercely and nobly, but in the end, they stood no chance |THREAD|
[beautiful thread. On the “civilizational” level, it also encapsulates each iteration of the beasts of the Babylonian System, including the Last Satanic Empire. For which they were each given the Carthaginian treatment, whether at mortal or supernatural hand. And the vengeance about to be fall like a black cloud was long prophesied to involve both hands. One appears to be Russian]
🔻 Sean Berube: On the 3rd day, Moby Dick bests the crew:He sinks their ship, and only one man lives to tell the tale
As for Ahab — he harpoons Moby Dick himself, but gets his leg caught in the rope:
The whale drags him into the depths of sea, to his doom
🔻 Sean Berube: So what is the moral of this story?Ahab’s fate is not just a cautionary tale:
It warns you about the greatest spiritual danger of all — the unforgivable sin
But what is this sin, and why is it so deadly?
🔻 Sean Berube: The Bible calls the unforgivable sin “blasphemy against the Holy Spirit”But how do you blaspheme against the Spirit?
Aquinas explains it succinctly:
“Sin against the Holy Ghost [is] final impenitence…”
🔻 Sean Berube: “It is unpardonable:the mortal sin wherein a man perseveres until death will not be forgiven in the life to come”
The unforgivable sin is not a single act of evil:
It’s a continued, unrepentant state of being that leads to damnation
🔻 Sean Berube: Ahab is not damned because of one act of evil, but because he refuses to repentHe has chances to turn back:
Warnings, omens, even the pleas of his crew—but he hardens his heart, sealing his fate
He follows his bloodlust to the grave…
What could have saved him?
🔻 Sean Berube: Ahab’s fatal flaw was pride — he valued ambition above GodHe needed repentance
Denouncing this ambition wouldn’t have just spared him:
He would’ve lived a great life of virtue
Why? Because repentance sanctifies you
🔻 Sean Berube: Repentance is not mere apology — it’s self-discovery:You discover your vices, conquer them, and grow in virtue
Repentance forges you into the virtuous man destiny calls you to become
True greatness, then, begins with the strength to humble yourself
🔻 Sean Berube: So Moby Dick isn’t just a warning against the unforgivable sinIt’s also a guide to glory:
As Augustine reminds us, seek first the foundations of humility, and you shall be exalted
A repentant heart leads you to a life of glory and everlasting virtue
🔻 WS: 📜 The Sermon“If we would obey God, we must disobey ourselves; and it is this disobeying ourselves wherein the hardness of obeying God consists.”
[it appears Will sadly keeps reposting this, as an allegory for his nation.. At the end of what comes, as with Atlantis, there may not be any to resuscitate from these particular Ashes]
🔻 Sean Berube: The sermon scene is so haunting. Wonderfully sets up the darkness of the voyage 💯

🔻 Ibrahim Zabad: The President who promised to bring peace and to end wars. Thanks!
🔻 Soran Ibrahim: Israel First…I’m shocked…
🔻 Sigma Mindset (ΣM): We elected trump so he wouldn’t go to war with Iran. Why doesn’t trump get Bibi to honor the ceasefire he negotiated and brokered so we can properly deescalate the situation
🔻 C5: Straight from Netanyahu’s mouth. The Americans and Israelis always use Iran as pretext to murder and destroy the region without ever making a dent to Iran itself.Go ahead Tump, get this over with already and start a war with Iran and leave poor Yemen alone.
🔻 Patarames: Sounds like the latest missile/drone salvo composition Yemenis launched against U.S. Navy ships brought them closer to their limits?Who knows anyway.., Trump is an unstable fella
🔻 WS: I wondered the same thing as I read Trump’s post. If CSG-8 was parrying the blows without much trouble, why would Trump be so worked up about it?
🔻 Patarames: Sequenced escalation to avoid inflicting real pain.Iran thought that strategy to Yemenis during the conflict against Saudi Arabia.
You don’t want to hurt the ego of a big boy if you can avoid it
🔻 Shivan Mahendrarajah: I can respect need for “sequenced escalation” at right times, but with slew of threats daily against Iran & bombings of Yemen, perhaps a practical demonstration of what can be inflicted on 🇺🇸 military is necessary? 🤷
[it’s turning into a global south gang up on the western chihuahuas!]
🔻 Patarames: OTP-2 did that I’d say
[OTP = Operation True Promise]
🔻 WS: If the US attacks Iran’s ships in the region, the calculus of the situation will be altered.
🔻 Shivan Mahendrarajah: ofc. 🇮🇷 will have no choice but to reply. DOD & WH might just do s.t. dumb. They were babbling on tv about Iranian spy ships in Red Sea/Arabian Sea
🔻 nicev2: And then the Aramco strikes happened which pretty much ended the war so 🤷♂️
🔻 Para II: he thinks iran can tell yemen to stop and allow america save face
⭕🔻 Sina Toossi:
🧵Yes, Iran has armed & supporters the Houthis, but their strategy toward Israel isn’t dictated by Tehran.Like other Arab leaders, they use Palestine to boost their image.
Seeing them as mere Iranian puppets is a fundamental misread that leads to self-defeating policy.

🔻 berggeit: We are talking about a Govt that tried to defeat Inflation by printing $1.5 Trillion dollars and called it “Inflation Reduction Act”….don’t take them too seriously go spend your time with your fam, fam
🔻 #TermLimits: They still have USS Truman sitting right next to Yemen and nobody can go a damn thing about it. They can get more violent than we all think. Just look at Palestine or Syria or Lebanon. Even Libya before all this 🤬
🔻 WS: The USS Trembling Puppy is not “sitting next to Yemen”. It’s hiding out in the northern Red Sea. Its aircraft require in-air refueling to reach into Yemen. They are justifiably afraid to venture much closer.
🔻 Dr. Anton: So much bluster emanating from D.C
🔻 shut up: Why doesn’t Yemen’s brave military go face the ship? You probably think there are rules in a street fight too don’t you?

🔻 WS: Please try to inform yourself before entering into a discussion about which you know so little.The US attacked FIRST. The Yemeni responded to that attack.
⭕ The Yemeni have become Moby Dick to the Ahabs in the Pentagon — particularly the US Navy.Therefore they came back to “settle the score”, and apparently that entails bloodying the Iranians as well. |link|
[this is an excellent metaphor! Recall the end of Moby Dick, and what the whale does to the madmen]
🔻 Ambrose: Idk if it is about settling a score with the Houthi, inasmuch as they are a gateway to further aggression against Iran.
🔻 WS: Yes, if the ultimate objective is to make war against Iran, then it is a prerequisite to secure the Red Sea, Bab el-Mandeb, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea to seaborne US logistics.Of course, then you have to secure the Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf, which they cannot do.
🔻 Ebr Pho: Even a 155mm with basebleed shells or 333mm unguided artillery battalion in Iranian soil could target USN around the strait. There are also mines, rockets, drones, missiles, subs, uuv,… and … Taking control of the Hormuz strait is almost impossible
🔻 WS: It has long been fashionable to refer to artillery as “the god of war”.My sense of the matter is that, more often than not, geography is the god of war.
🔻 Ambrose: I didn’t mean the physical gateway leading to Iran itself, but the propagandic path. As in blaming Iran for Houthi defense of Palestine thus turning the causality of the conflict on its head. It isn’t Israeli aggression causing this but Iranian! Therefore more pain on Iran is ok.
[this is an underrated and excellent comment. It of course won’t wash with most mankind. But it will with a sufficient percentage of sunni arabs and all salafis marinated in Hatreds and sectarianism, and thus sadly prolong the agony of the region. Idiots]
🔻 Warwick Powell | 鲍韶山: We know how it ended for Ahab.
[is that youJohn Wayne, err Gregory Peck??]
🔻 Walter Mocking: I read Moby Dick and I remember how the story ends
🔻 cognitivedissonanceeverywhere: The Yemenis have won. That doesn’t seem to have sunk in in Washington. They get to decide when the ceasefire is broken in Gaza – not Israel and not the US. Trump could put the whole US Navy in there and all they would give the Yemenis would be a whole bunch of targets.
🔻 Ephemeral: Not so much revenge, imo. US started bombing Yemen preemptively bc Israel was getting ready to start its bombing campaign in Gaza today. Iran has been US-Israel’s golden dream to have full hegemony on the ME … and throttle China’s access to oil
[another excellent insight]
🔻 Waiting for Goldot… and a free Palestine: I’m so torn, I certainly dont want to see loss of life but deep down I cant help but think it would be natural justice for US naval assets to become Red Sea diving attractions
🔻 WS: I’ve seen nothing so far to indicate the Yemeni have missiles which, on their own, would be likely to sink a US ship … unless, for example, a guided-missile destroyer (DDG) got hit in the middle of its vertical launch system (VLS) and set off a huge explosion. That would do it.

⭕ ‼️ Many people continue to believe that the Ukraine War has been a repeat of WW1. 🤦♂️Quite to the contrary, we have witnessed multiple revolutions in warfare — and the Russians are the pioneers.
These are very sobering accounts of the disordered withdrawal from Kursk:
links:
🔻 — GEROMAN — time will tell – 👀 –: Rezident 🇺🇦 on TG writes about the Kursk adventure:“The result of Zelensky’s Kursk adventure became obvious to everyone, but in August 2024, everyone rejoiced at the senseless waste of reserves and people. The statement by Defense Minister Umerov will go down in Ukrainian history: the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out a “planned redeployment to more advantageous defense lines.”
“Horror film”, “catastrophe”, “collapse”, “failure of the front”.
This is how the Ukrainian military describes to the Air Force their retreat from the Kursk region – under constant attacks from Russian drones, which cut off the main supply route from Sudzha to Sumy.
On March 9, fighter “Vladimir” wrote to the publication that he was in Sudzha, where “there is panic and the front is collapsing.” Ukrainian troops “are trying to retreat – in columns of troops and equipment. Some of them are being burned by Russian drones on the road. It is impossible to leave during the day.”
“We have all our logistics here on one highway Sudzha-Sumy. And everyone knew that [the Russians] would try to cut it off. But this again came as a surprise to our command,” the fighter says.
Before Sudzhi returned to Russian control, he wrote that Russian forces were pressing them from three sides.
Another fighter, “Maxim,” says that “the enemy managed to destroy dozens of pieces of equipment,” and the debris “created traffic jams on supply routes.”
“Anton,” who served in the Kursk Front command headquarters, called the situation “catastrophic.” He said he managed to get out of Sudzha on foot, but at night “we almost died several times. Drones are constantly in the sky.”
He believes that Ukraine’s entire foothold in Kursk will be lost, but “from a military point of view, the Kursk direction has exhausted itself. There is no longer any point in holding it.”
A fourth soldier, “Dmitry,” compared the retreat to “a scene from a horror movie: the roads are littered with hundreds of destroyed cars, armored vehicles, and quad bikes. There are many wounded and dead.”
Their car was stuck in the mud, they were being hunted by a drone, and they hid in the forest for two hours before being rescued. “Dmitry” said many Ukrainian fighters retreated on foot, and “the guys were walking 15-20 km.” The situation, he said, went from “difficult and critical to catastrophic.”
On March 14, he stated that “in the Kursk region everything is over… the operation was not successful.”
He estimates that thousands of Ukrainian troops have died since they first crossed into Russian territory in August.”

🔻 StratAnalytica: The movement of Russian troops for 15 miles through a gas pipeline, if true, is something else!
🔻 WS: Well … it was only about 9 miles, but yeah, that was a bold tactical move.Still, hunting down pairs and squads of troops, and all manner of vehicles (armored or not), at night, using huge swarms of drones, blanketing the battlefield … now THAT is a revolution in warfare.

⭕ Israeli tanks reportedly open fire on Abasan in eastern Khan Yunis, GazaAccording to a statement by the Israel Defense Forces, Israel launched massive air strikes on Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas political bureau member Izzat al-Risheq said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s decision to return to war means a death sentence for the Israeli hostages in the Gaza Strip.
The truce between Israel and Hamas officially ended on March 1, but hostilities have not resumed due to attempts by mediators to involve the parties in continuing negotiations on a settlement in Gaza.
The death toll from Israeli strikes on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday night had exceeded 326, according to the ministry of health, with hundreds injured.

💠@imetatronink:
⭕ 🔸 72 hours into the Kursk fiasco, it was not yet apparent that the last gasp NATO/AFU army would push 100k+ troops and many 1000s of vehicles into the trap.But, as I did then, I still believe it was a kamikaze run.
🤔🧵 The Kursk Kauldron
🔻 C1: Russia will never tell, so it will always be a topic of debate… but I personally think you are correct.
🔻 WS: If Kursk was indeed conceived as yet another trap into which the NATO/AFU forces were lured, it will likely be many years before an authoritative admission of the fact emerges. Even then it will provoke controversy.But it will be studied in war colleges for generations to come.
🔻 C2: If that was the case, they should have removed the civilian population before those arseholes got their hands on them. The rapes, torture, & murder could have been avoided.
🔻 WS: reposts old:
“From what I have been able to ascertain, the Russians began quietly advising residents to evacuate several weeks in advance. And they conducted well-organized evacuations in the initial days of the operation. But they did not compel an evacuation, and many chose to stay.I have seen scant evidence to support the claims that “many thousands” of civilians have died. But I do not dispute that “many hundreds” may have.”
🔻 Matthew McCracken: Remember Lt. General Roger Cloutier? It was alleged that he was cornered in the Azovstal Plant in Mariupol in May 2022. The “fact checkers” stated this was false. This Lt. General “retired” in Oct 2022 and has not been heard from since February 2022. |media|

🔻 Pink Shirt Migo: What do you think about British and French troops getting involved in the war? Is this mainly for show, or is there a real chance of this happening?
🔻 WS: In my estimation, there is almost ZERO chance of the British and French sending troops to Ukraine, and exactly ZERO chance of them surviving long if they are sent. It’s all ridiculous silly talk.
🔻 C5: Jim Jones had nothing on this death cult.
🔻 C6: They never should have carried out this operation.It’s when the West’s propaganda war is more important than the real military situation. They failed to capture the Kursk nuclear plant, failed to improve their negotiating position, and took heavy losses that hasten their defeat
⭕🔻 Inevitable West: 🚨BREAKING: It’s confirmed:Hungary just passed the largest tax cut in Europe & the entire Western world.

🔻 Big Serge ☦️🇺🇸🇷🇺: People love to celebrate Hungary’s pro-natal policies but they haven’t come close so far to returning to replacement rates. So far what they’ve done is go from very bad (Italy) to only regular bad (UK). Barely denting the problem.
🔻 Big Serge ☦️🇺🇸🇷🇺: This isn’t to imply that they’re wrong to try, but if you want a serous solution to the natality problem, you need to look beyond Hungary.Industrialization is basically antibiotics for the human population.

Air & naval strikes, including Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles (TLAM) fired from cruiser USS Gettysburg (CG 64), targeted senior Houthi commanders & hit radars, air defenses, missile & drone systems in Sana’a, Sa’dah, Al Bayda, Hajjah, Dhamar, Ma’rib, & Al Jawf.
🔻 WS: Given the VLS loadout for CSG-8 (USS Trembling Puppy, 1 CG, 3 DDGs) had to be biased towards missile/drone defense, and even allowing for the presence of an Ohio-class missile sub, I reckon 30% – 50% of the available Tomahawks were expended in these strikes.
🔻 C2: And what about USA defensive missile expenditure?
I read ballistic and cruise missiles were sent in response.

[LOL. Teaching Yemenis the art of war is like teachin a granny to suck eggs]
🔻 C2: When does it bleed off tho?
🔻 WS: Surprisingly quickly. The “magazine depth” is quite shallow, and they cannot rearm at sea. The Yemeni have already chased off 2 carrier strike groups from the Red Sea for the simple reason that the US ships ran out of air defense missiles.

⭕ U.S. President Donald Trump, who claimed ‘My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker’ on his inauguration day, has since bombed three countries: Somalia, Syria, and Yemen. This is in addition to $12 billion worth of military aid sent to Israel and the 100 U.S. troops stationed there to operate two ‘THAAD’ air defense systems, which were moved to Israel in October (on Biden’s orders), with no news of their removal from the Pentagon since.These three countries, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen, have remained U.S. targets since Obama’s presidency, during which he was bombing seven countries simultaneously at one point.
Trump has repeatedly spoken out against ‘endless wars’ since his first term and opposed military intervention in the Middle East just two months ago, stating that ‘We got nothing out of it except a lot of death.’ However, his actual policies remain unchanged.
💠 @Sputnik Africa:
⭕ 📌 Major world events by the morning of March 17- US President Donald Trump said he plans to hold a conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, a Western media outlet said. The US top official reportedly intends to raise the issue of territories and control over nuclear power plants during the conversation;
- The US has notified Europe that it is leaving an international group investigating Russia in the context of the Ukrainian conflict, the New York Times reported;
- The UK is ready to deploy thousands of its soldiers as part of a peacekeeping force in Ukraine “for years,” the Times said;
- The death toll from US strikes in Yemen is at least 53, with nearly 100 wounded, the Houthi Ministry of Health said.
⭕ 🇺🇸🇾🇪 All US ships are banned from passing through the Red and Arabian seas, Houthi leader says
“The US aircraft carrier and warships will be a target for us, and the decision to ban shipping will also affect the Americans as long as they continue their aggression,” leader of the Yemeni movement Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis, Abdul Malik al-Houthi said.
The movement will respond “with escalation to escalation and respond to the adversary by striking its aircraft carriers and battleships and blockading passage to its vessels,” al-Houthi added, threatening Washington with “even further escalation” should the attacks on Yemen go on.
💥 On Sunday, the Houthis claimed to have attacked US aircraft carrier Harry Truman and other warships in the Red Sea with missiles and drones in retaliation for the recent strikes.
⭕ ❗️Russian military liberated the village of Stepovoe in the Zaporozhye region, the Defense Ministry reported☝️Right off the bat, he makes an important observation, which I’ve suspected. Orange & Gang were dragged into this war on Yemen (the other fronts deliberately going quiet) on Yemeni terms and timetables. Certain denouements are inevitable, and written into the Stars – like the ongoing evisceration of nazis in Novorossiya and Kursk.. the same must occur in SW Asia for closure.. and the fools rushed in to take the Bait.
NB – the Yanqui escalation opens possibilities, just on the cusp of Persia being attacked by the rabid, for YEMEN to soften up and disable the Yanqui bases on the occupied fat desert bedouins. Note above the four that facilitated the aggression last night: Qatar, UAE, Bahrain and KSA. ALL four are much much closer than Zion, which got/will get pummeled by projectiles up the wazoo. This may open the window of opportunity to evict those bases, and solely focusing on those Yanqui bases. Interesting days ahead for the GCC and their suzerain……💠@ejmalrai:
⭕ Yemen Ansar Allah said it has “targeted the USS Harry Truman with 18 missiles and drones in retaliation to the US aggression and targeting 47 positions in several provinces in Yemen.”
⭕ The US has launched attacks on targets in Yemen and is expected to continue its operations for several more days. However, the strikes are less about directly confronting Yemen and more about sending a strategic warning to Iran.Despite this escalation, the US is not engaging Iran militarily or effectively deterring Yemen. Even as Washington takes a more active and confrontational stance in the Middle East, its efforts may ultimately fall short of achieving long-term strategic success.

⭕ 🇵🇭⚖️ Arrest of Filipino ex-president: A warning to Trump and a sign of the West’s last struggle?Rodrigo Duterte faces accusations from the International Criminal Court (ICC) for “crimes against humanity” related to his war on drugs. However, Chinese expert Qin An interpreted the arrest as a political strategy by Western powers, suggesting a collaboration with current Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
“This also signals an attempt by the deep state, which had been suppressed by Trump, to demonstrate its power and influence as the global order shifts,” he said.
In an interview with Sputnik, Qin highlighted the paradox of the Philippines executing an ICC warrant in 2025, despite its 2019 withdrawal from the organization, and sees the 7,000 police deployed for Duterte’s arrest as part of an “internal and external conspiracy.”
Qin further linked Duterte’s detention to past Western interventions, drawing a parallel between The Hague’s role in prosecuting former Yugoslav leaders and the conflict in Ukraine.
“This event is reminiscent of NATO’s bombing of Yugoslavia and the NATO expansion that fueled the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Similar to how Yugoslav leaders were captured and sent to The Hague, the ICC has now issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin. However, Russia has stood firm against NATO, defending humanity’s last line against Western dominance,” he explained.

ALL the GCC were involved without exception on the aggression against Yemen. Saudi airspace was used en route from Cyprus, Bahrain, Qatar, and UAE. Kuwait and Oman remain silent and part of this block, and so complicit..

Yemen will be forced to respond to aggression originating on ANY other’s soil. And thereby start the long desired regional war on Yemen by the cowardly compradore arabs.
