☝️☝️☝️ One of Abdel Bari Atwan’s most important biweekly presentations.

1. Syria is back and in a major way, to absolute horror of supranational zionazis and their hangerons. And it will overturn all calculations and even borders…….
2. [reading between his lines] this is a continuation of the Persian-Resistance war of attrition, of never permitting either zionazis or the demented West ANY reprieve. A constant fire is burned around and inside them. After three months of “quiet” of letting them invade, now it is detonated at worst possible moment.
3. Former regime supporters and Kurds are aligning, signaling horror for Turkey, which will be counter-invaded soon to deal with NATO and Constantinople – Turkey had been threatening Iram over this Syrian rebirth and Syrian Kurds ignoring the order of their former PKK boss Ocalan to disarm and normalize with Turks, and Trump threatened Iran today as well in unprecedented way, indicating the potency of the ongoing revival. What days! To see the front on Anatolia forming in front of our eyes. After the already defeated Zion, this is last remaining potent NATO army in Asia…. Erdogan and duplicitous Turks made their bed
4. Zionazis may really be committing a Masada-level suicide and re-entering Gaza with 400,000 troops, and really discharging Trump’s promise to exterminate all Gazans, whether combatants or not. This puts in context Yemen’s plan to return to war in four days to work to save the Palestinians from the savages. And the savages are really too thin to wage all this by themselves, necessitating major aggression by USUK on their behalf
5. Lil Narco Rubio’s cross on the forehead afore this new naked Crusade is firing the imagination. The messianism is directed at both Orthodox in Europe and Muslims in greater Arabia..

⭕🇺🇸🇨🇦 Canada should cancel the purchase of F-35 fighter jets from the United States.

Michael Byers, co-director of the Outer Space Institute, is urging Canada to cancel its F-35 purchase, citing U.S. political instability and reliance on American-controlled systems.

He warns that without access to the aircraft’s source code, Canada would not have full operational control, which would compromise its sovereignty.

Lockheed Martin, the American defense contractor responsible for the F-35, refuses to share this code with foreign customers, even close allies. In other words, every training or combat mission would require an identification code:

• Each training or combat mission would require a load of mission data processed by US computing facilities.
• The US government could deny access to these facilities, which would have the effect of crippling Canada’s F-35 fleet if it decided to exert pressure.
• Stealth aircraft coatings can only be maintained in the United States or Australia, further limiting Canada’s operational independence.

Mr. Byers issues a stark warning:

“If the United States wanted to invade Canada, they could gain air superiority, perhaps with a few keystrokes.”

⭕ 🇸🇩 Sudan Files Case Against UAE at ICJ for Alleged Genocide Complicity

Sudan has taken a bold step by filing a case against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The lawsuit accuses the UAE of complicity in genocide by allegedly supporting the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group linked to atrocities in Darfur, particularly against the Masalit community.

Sudan seeks provisional measures to halt further violence and demands reparations for the harm caused. The UAE has dismissed the case as a “publicity stunt,” denying any involvement.

⭕ Ukraine is not part of NATO to benefit from Article 5, a non-binding article, even if members are attacked (see Turkey in Syria on the 24 November 2015).

France won’t go to war against Russia because it doesn’t stand a chance and Russia doesn’t intend to attack either.

Therefore, all the war drums beating in Europe have one purpose: to improve Ukraine’s position in the peace negotiations imposed by Donald Trump.

💠@imetatronink:
⭕ 📜 NATO Article 5 Is A Little Stick

It consistently amuses me when the NATO bros talk tough while waving the little stick they call Article 5.

Article 5 is a mirage.

Its language is explicitly non-obligatory.

If, for example, the Russians decided to do a little “regime changing” of their own in the Baltics, or to annex a significant land corridor to Kaliningrad — very conceivable developments — well, we would quickly learn that Article 5 is awe-inspiring in theory and meaningless in practice.

Other than the Americans, no one in NATO is in any position to go play real war with the Russians in a futile bid to prop up the Baltics, let alone rescue Ukraine.

And inserting hostile US/NATO naval assets into the Baltic Sea would be even stupider than putting them in the Persian Gulf.

Any move from Poland would bring Belarus into the game, and besides, I think the Poles have already gotten their fill of Russian firepower in Ukraine. The Polish “volunteers” in Ukraine suffered multiple thousands of casualties, and the loss of large quantities of Polish implements of war. It will be a long while before the Poles once again wax bold enough to mix it up with the Russians.

The Germans? The French? The Dutch? The Italians? Who cares? They’re all empty shells.

The British? Sure, they’ll send a token force of this, that, and the other — because that’s all the British military is: a token force.

And anyone who thinks the Turks are even a remote possibility as an Article 5 volunteer ought to be slapped silly.

The rest of the mighty NATO bloc is not even worth mentioning.

“But now we got the Finns and the Swedes!”

Sure, sure.

It won’t surprise me to see both Finland and Sweden regime-change themselves in a fit of buyer’s remorse, and frantically embrace once again the relative neutrality they held to for so long.

So it will come down to the Americans and a motley assortment of whatever the rest of the Anglosphere consents to sacrifice to the cause.

If the fools talk themselves into showcasing their imagined naval and air supremacy against Russia, along with their supposedly legendary “combined-arms prowess”, they will not only lose against the Russians, but necessarily lose both west and east Asia.

A war against Russia — even if it only lasted a month or two — would effectively disarm the already weakened empire for several years. Wars against Iran and/or China would be rendered inconceivable for a generation or more.

And yet reliably confirmed reports have emerged in recent days that the oafish US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, in closed-door consultations with Congress, raised the spectre of sending American “uncles, cousins, and sons” to fight the Russians in Ukraine, and thereby prevent a humiliating NATO defeat at the hands of the despised Muscovites.

I think it’s empty rhetoric. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and the #EmpireAtAllCosts cult is neck-deep in desperation. Therefore I am loath to underestimate their capacity for catastrophic blunder.

🔻 Marta: Bellissimo articolo come sempre e veritiera immagine😍😍😍😍
🔻 Matthew McCracken: Article 5 allows members to act “individually or in concert” if attacked.

I would note that the topic of “secret combinations” (based on oaths and plans passed down from the ancients), features prominently in the Book of Mormon. It chronicles how two ancient American civilizations were ultimately destroyed as a result of these secret combinations, and it predicts they will similarly prove the downfall of “the great Gentile nation” that would rise in the Americas in the “last days”.
⭕ 🤦‍♂️ The mythology crafted in the immediate aftermath of the fictitious October 2024 “devastating strike” against Iranian air defenses continues to form the basis of the false confidence that Iran is a vulnerable sitting duck.

#TheImaginaryWar
[links:
🔻 Ronnie Adkins (Funker530): This Guy: “SEAD isn’t real, SEAD can’t hurt Iran”
F-35: Be a shame if someone just kind of…. did.”]
🔻 WS: It never ceases to amaze me how willfully credulous people can be. Not a single F-35 crossed the Tigris into Iran, and nothing but an archaic Vietnam-era Hawk system (likely a mere decoy) was destroyed in the strike — and not by a missile launched from an F-35.

#IgnoranceIsBliss
🔻 Brandon: I’m sure they did take out a handful of S-300s. But the question remains…doesn’t Iran have more than that? Doesn’t Iran have the ability to replenish lost supplies via their relationship with the makers of the S-300 in Russia? I mean, the whole narrative is murky.
[yeah. why not? Enter Iran, Enter Brandon. Enter foot in mouth]
🔻 WS: There was never any credible BDA evidence that emerged indicating that even a single S-300 installation was struck, with the closest possibility being a static long-range radar site (not an S-300 component).

I saw ZERO evidence of ANY mobile S-300 components destroyed.
🔻 WS: Furthermore, the Iranians are now fielding their newly upgraded Bavar-373 systems, which are analogues to the S-400.

The story of Iranian AD being destroyed by Israeli strikes was a post hoc fairy tale designed to cover up the largely ineffectual attack.

IF the Israelis HAD achieved the incredible success they claimed, they would have returned over and over again with follow-up strikes on Iranian targets. They haven’t, and there is a good reason for that: they encountered unforeseen surprises when they approached Iranian airspace.
🔻 Brandon: Which is why I say that the story is murky. IAF is planning to conduct a sweeping strike on Fordow I am told. So, I don’t know what the thinking is in Israel. It seems a bit risky.
[yes, it is indeed risky for the healthy maintenance of our gray matter to read your PoVs]
🔻 Juan Antonio Castro: By unexpected surprises, do you mean evidence of nuclear weapons, Will?
🔻 WS: No. What almost certainly happened is that they detected that they were being tracked by long-range Iranian radars, and had reason to believe a vulnerability in the F-35 had been identified, and posed a significant risk.
🔻 Stirling: Watched latest Elon podcast with Rogan today. The topic of Stealth came up. Elon literally said these things are easily tracked with new radars. Stealth is a giant myth sold to the public to be able to fleece them for tax dollars.
🔻 WS: Well, they’ve always been fairly easily “tracked”. It’s maintaining a target lock that is the trick.

Capable active radar, infrared, and optical sensors in the terminal phase.

And speed.

And range.

Russia and China are almost certainly capable. Iran is probably very close.
🔻 Lucas Valadares: If they had destroyed “all Iranian air defenses” as their propaganda stated, they would’ve bombed the country back to stone age the very next day. Why didn’t they do that?
[exactly. As they do in Syria and Lebanon, when opportunity presents. ATM, they lack such opportunity in both Iran and Yemen]
🔻 WS: Bingo.

They didn’t do that because what REALLY happened is that they encountered unforeseen surprises when they approached Iranian airspace (long-range radar locks?), and so they fired their ALBMs from maximum range, and skedaddled back to their bases.
🔻 Cathal: Didn’t Israel say they would attack again shortly after and it never happened, why 🤔
🔻 Luchín: The empire genuinely believes its own propaganda myths. This is why they couldn’t defeat Russia. The delusion will lead them to ruin.
🔻 cognitivedissonanceeverywhere: Do these imbeciles not know what happened last year when Israel tried this? They didn’t get past the first base of Iran’s air defences. They got locked on and immediately turned tail.

This lunacy is going to get a lot of people killed. Maybe it just kind of…..needs to happen?
[Yep. Like sending in meat waves to predictable carnage in 404, the aerial armada is due up next up on the eternal Stage]
🔻 Darth Xidious: Sadly, Iran is a sitting duck. It doesn’t have a sufficient integrated air defense in quantity and quality to defend itself against Israeli air attacks.

The defense is deterrence through its ballistic missiles.
🔻 WS: You are speaking misinformed nonsense.

Very few people have paid close attention to what has been revealed in Ukraine: fixed-wing aircraft are highly vulnerable to even a modest array of air defenses.

Fast missiles are hard, but jets are easy pickings.
links older:
“🤔 If the US/Israel attempt to press home a major airstrike on Iranian “high-value targets”, my conservative estimate is that at least 10% of the strike aircraft would be shot down, including refueling tankers and ISR platforms.

🔻 WS: Your observation is entirely valid. But I still maintain that the PRC has no need to invade Taiwan. All it needs to do is decisively defeat US naval and air forces within the scope of the first and second island chains. The day following, Taipei will bend the knee to Beijing.

Protecting Taiwan from invasion would do just that.

The U.S. should reindustrialize and come up with new products to export to the rest of the world to offset the amount of U.S. currency that would be coming back home and should invest these funds in public infrastructure and new civilian developments to balance inflation.

It is true that they have gained territory in Ukraine, but it is far from what their initial war plan was designed for. Now their argument is that they never wanted more territory in other parts of the country.

To call this a Russian success is false, and to call a failed war plan a defeat is reasonable. The war was meant to gain a buffer against NATO, and in that, Moscow failed. But it was also intended to be a demonstration that Russia was still a great power. After three years, a major commitment and, by most reports, close to a million dead Russian soldiers, Russia has little more than 20 percent of Ukraine. It also failed to demonstrate the power of the Russian army. Therefore, except for its nuclear capabilities, it is not a military threat or a great power.”

Putin basically achieved the following:

– Rearmament of Europe

🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Continuity of Agenda: US Has Continued Sending Rockets AND Targeting Data Under Trump

As Ukraine continues using US HIMARS, keep in mind the guided rockets have continued to flow to Ukraine under the Trump administration.

Also continuing is US targeting data for HIMARS GMLRS – the US provides targeting data for virtually ALL attacks in both Ukrainian AND ESPECIALLY in Russian territory.

Ukraine lacks any ISR beyond the range of their limited drone capabilities meaning all deep-strikes require US intelligence and targeting data.

This includes for long-range drone attacks INSIDE Russia which have continued including this week.

As people imagine the US is now seeking peace, the flow of arms/support to Ukraine is only being paused to pressure Ukraine over resource concessions, not actually to end the war.

Ending the war could have taken place the first week of the Trump administration. Its continuation is a deliberate decision by the administration, betraying campaign promises… |links|

This also included talk of seizing both the Panama Canal and Greenland specifically to cut off maritime trade routes during future conflicts with Russia and China and building a fleet of ships solely for fighting China off Beijing’s own shores.

⭕ South Africa condemns Israel’s recent restrictions on aid entering Gaza, calling it a form of starvation used as a weapon of war

Preventing food from reaching Gaza is a “plausible genocide” based on the ICJ ruling, the South African foreign ministry stated, calling for international accountability.

🗣 “The people of Gaza are experiencing immeasurable suffering and urgently need food, shelter and medical supplies,” the ministry said.

Prior to Sunday, a fragile ceasefire since January had allowed increased humanitarian aid into Gaza. However, Israel then announced it would block deliveries until Hamas accepted its terms for a truce extension.
⭕ 🌍 Europe cannot acknowledge Zelensky’s failure, a French politician says

The war in Ukraine “is ruining Europe,” Thierry Mariani, Member of the European Parliament, told Sputnik Africa, likening the situation to the Soviet Union’s downfall triggered by the Afghanistan war.

He said that the damage caused by the war in Ukraine may not be immediately obvious, because Europe has been taking out loans that will never be repaid.

🗣 “In a few years, very quickly, the Europeans will discover that ultimately all the loans made to Mr. Zelensky will have to be repaid. And when the Americans, with Mr. Trump, fight to get their money back, the French, the Europeans will have nothing left,” Mariani said.
⭕ ⚡️ Macron: “Russia has become a threat to France and Europe”

• Macron initiated talks on using French nuclear weapons to defend the EU.
• He spoke against a ceasefire in Ukraine, saying that peace cannot be “a capitulation of Ukraine.”
• Macron also announced a meeting of the chiefs of staff of countries willing to “guarantee a future peace in Ukraine,” to be held in France next week.

🔻 WS: With the preface that my view on such matters is typically ~20% rational and ~80% visceral, my advice to the Russians, at this juncture is: go “all in”; call every bluff; but be prepared to face a shootout — and if it comes to that, keep shooting ’til they stop twitching.
🔻 Pleas Lucian: I’ve often wondered aloud whether they genuinely grasp the psychology of the empire.

It will have to be compelled to submit to reason. Power is the only currency. One has to speak a language the other can understand

From a lost proxy war against Russia to a direct war with China: out of the frying pan and into the fire.
[links:
🔻 Spokesperson发言人办公室: “The fentanyl issue is a flimsy excuse to raise U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports. Our countermeasures to defend our rights and interests are fully legitimate and necessary.

The U.S., not anyone else, is responsible for the #FentanylCrisis inside the U.S. In the spirit of humanity and goodwill towards the American people, we have taken robust steps to assist the U.S. in dealing with the issue. Instead of recognizing our efforts, the U.S. has sought to smear and shift blame to China, and is seeking to pressure and blackmail China with tariff hikes. They’ve been PUNISHING us for helping them. This is not going to solve the U.S.’s problem and will undermine our counternarcotics dialogue and cooperation.

Intimidation does not scare us. Bullying does not work on us. Pressuring, coercion or threats are not the right way of dealing with China. Anyone using maximum pressure on China is picking the wrong guy and miscalculating. If the U.S. truly wants to solve the fentanyl issue, then the right thing to do is to consult with China by treating each other as equals.

If war is what the U.S. wants, be it a tariff war, a trade war or any other type of war, we’re ready to fight till the end.” ]
