    ⭕ ❗️Here’s what actually happened today.

    😎Source: Trust me bro.
    ⭕️ 🇷🇺🇺🇦 About the strike with an ICBM on Dnipro

    Last night, Russian forces carried out another attack on Ukrainian territories. The most significant was the strike on the industrial enterprise “Yuzhmash” in Dnipro, during which an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) could have been used.

    According to some signs, an ICBM (evident from the characteristic separating warheads) was indeed likely used, which would be the first successful combat use of such a weapon system in the history of military conflicts.

    The warheads were in a non-nuclear configuration. Although there are rumors about the RS-26 “Rubezh”, the type of missile is not reliably known. Ukrainian forces were unable to shoot down the ICBM, as evidenced by the footage of the impacts.

    ❗️This can be seen as a clear signal to the sponsors of the so-called Ukraine (especially on the anniversary of the Maidan) against the backdrop of the West’s permission to use long-range missiles. How well they understood it – time will tell. But today’s strike is indeed a non-trivial move, as nothing like this has happened before.

    And there are reasons to believe that this will not be the last such use.

    ⭕ 🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦The prohibited anti-infantry mines supplied by the US are already being used against Russian Army on the frontline. |media|
    ⭕ ❗”Ukraine may ask the administration of US President Joe Biden to allow the use of American Tomahawk missiles to strike Russian territory.

    This was reported by Politico, citing Yegor Chernev, Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense, and Intelligence”

    They won’t have time to do this. The Americans will leave Ukraine first. Or by that time Russia will have wiped Ukraine off the face of the earth along with the Americans.
    [These are nuclear capable and would be considered a first strike by Russkies…. can ye feel the cool breeze of the Apocalypse?]

    ⭕ Never trust #Israel in any peace negotiation, as well as any Israeli dressed as a #US envoy.
    ⭕ No Israeli leader supporting or against Netanyahu will accept the ICC warrant because their turn could be next.
    ⭕ Why the ICC warrant against Netanyahu and Gallant, the two war criminals, is important? Because the ICC was create to issue warrants against the anti not the pro West. It also tell the world that the US and NATO are partners and have supported these criminals.
    All nations who supported and continue supplying #Israel with weapons should be taken to court, mainly the #US and #Germany.

    All Arab countries with relations with Israel should cut all ties immediately.
    ⭕ The court considered what Netanyahu and Gallant said in person on TV is enough to start with.
    Israel is shocked by the ICC’s decision to try Netanyahu and Gallant as war criminals. It can’t believe it killed only 44,000 people in Gaza, including only 17,000 children and 18,000 women, hundreds of UN employees and journalists, declared there were no civilians in Gaza, and destroyed the Strip after cutting off water and electricity and demolishing homes, schools and hospitals. Its “long arm” didn’t strike – obviously a security and intelligence failure – this time as a pre-emptive move to stop the verdict and neutralise the person, the prosecutor, who issued the warrant. (Sarcasm)

    Netanyahu is officially a war criminal.

    The International Criminal Court (ICC) issues arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu (Prime Minister of the entity) and Yoav Galant (former War Minister of the same entity).

    There are reasonable grounds to believe that Netanyahu and Galant supervised attacks against civilians.

    The crimes attributed to Netanyahu and Galant include the use of hunger as a weapon.”
    The ICC’s decision means that its 124 member states will be obliged to arrest Netanyahu and Galant if they enter their territory.

    The entity has always been outlawed.
    ⭕ The Israeli government accuses the International Criminal Court of being anti-Semitic.

    After accusing the United Nations and almost the entire planet of anti-Semitism, Netanyahu charges the ICC with being a factory of anti-Semites… It’s getting ridiculous.

    The leaked German army call says the BRITS PROGRAM THE STORM SHADOW MISSILES:

    1) The British have military personell in Ukraine which help load and program the Storm Shadow and SCALP missiles

    2) The British remotely via “reach back” do the mission planning for the Storm Shadow missiles!

    -> Brits are directly at war with Russia!]
    🔻 C2: All of these missiles have to be programmed by the ‘owners’ of the systems – all the data is classified. Delivery is another issue – unlikely to be Ukrainian planes and only really possible over international waters from bases in Romania
    🔻 C2: There is a lot of ignorant chatter about military equipment- I strongly recommend you follow military historians @witte_sergei and @imetatronink if you want to get real and unbiased information about the military equipment being used. They are totally up to date with developments
    🔻 WS: I feel uncomfortable being mentioned along with the Big Serge when it comes to military history, nor am I a big expert on military equipment. I just try to examine things critically and logically. The Big Serge is an encyclopedia. I’m more of a pamphlet.
    [continuation of last thread yesterday]
    This video clip purports to show Storm Shadow cruise missiles striking targets in Kursk region earlier today.

    Color me extremely dubious. Those are not blasts from 450kg warheads. In fact, they look no bigger than what a large drone could carry.
    🔻 C1: The armed forces of Ukraine carried out a rocket attack with 12 missiles Storm Shadow on the historical estate of the Baryatinsky princes from the 19th century in the Kursk region, which is surrounded by an underground bunker!
    🔻 WS: I have yet to see ANY credible evidence of big cruise missile strikes, and the photos above do not attest the result of a 450kg warhead explosion.
    🔻 Yuliana Dlugaj 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇰🇵🇮🇷: What you make out of this? |media|
    🔻 WS: This was the first clip that circulated. In my opinion, none of the “booms” are consistent with a 450kg warhead explosion.

    At this point, I don’t believe a Storm Shadow attack occurred.
    🔻 Yuliana Dlugaj 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇰🇵🇮🇷: I agree, this doesn’t come close to the damage of a 450kg warhead.

    Can you make out the sounds before the explosion?
    🔻 C3: It does sound jet propelled whatever hit , but why the interest , the estate is listed as a tourist attraction
    🔻 WS: I have seen the video clip to which I believe you are referring. Does not sound like jet engines to me. Sounds like rockets. “IF” a strike was launched earlier today on the target in question, I believe it was most likely GMLRS rockets from HIMARS.
    🔻 C3: There again I don’t believe Ukraine has got six serviceable SU24 which is what would be needed to launch 12 storm shadow missiles ,
    It’s all a bit of a mystery
    🔻 C4: No.. Storm Shadow. But i think is just a “propaganda act”
    [he posted photos of their “shrapnel” as in leading photo]
    🔻 WS: As I have already asked multiple times: what is the provenance of these photos?
    🔻 C4: The original post is from “two majors”, I think
    🔻 WS: Yes, they were apparently the first to “post” the photos. That does not answer the question of provenance.

    And, for the record, I do not consider Two Majors a reliable source of information.
    🔻 C4: Well, that’s your opinion and I respect it. I think that the AFU have sought a place without Russian air defence and their action was to show that they can attack without being shot down. But I’m not an expert. “Milinfolive” it’s quite reliable when talks about weapons.
    🔻 Yuliana Dlugaj 🇷🇺🇨🇳🇰🇵🇮🇷: Britain’s a tiny island, so naturally, their weapons are only allowed to make tiny explosions.

    Let’s be real, though—this looks nothing like a 450kg warhead. More like a drone or some MLRS firework.
    🔻 C5: Britain is also an incompetent corrupt land that usually does things half arsed. It would be of no surprise to me if the missiles were only half effective.
    🔻 WS: Additionally, I don’t believe the Ukrainians have 6 air-worthy Su-24s capable of launching 12 Storm Shadow missiles. And I don’t believe NATO aircraft from Polish airbases would have dared do it.
    🔻 C6: F-16’s they just got some new danish ones?
    🔻 WS: The Ukrainians are not flying any F-16s.
    🔻 C7: It’s a small distance, maybe they can be launched some other way?
    🔻 WS: They cannot be launched in any other way.
    🔻 C8: No, they probably launched them from one of the Baltic states.
    🔻 WS: Nonsense. Impossible. Way beyond Storm Shadow range.
    🔻 C8: I meant that the planes used might have come from the Baltic states, my bad.
    🔻 WS: I understood that. There is no way a half-dozen NATO aircraft flew over most of Belarus, rose to high-altitude, launched a dozen cruise missiles into Russia, and flew back to Lithuania.
    🔻 C9: That’s my thoughts too, no way Ukraine launched these, I think the British did
    🔻 WS: To me, the only logical conclusion so far is that no air-launched cruise missiles were fired into Russia.
    🔻 C10: Why is Russia taking so long to respond. You have to be decisive. All ATACM missile sites should be destroyed ASAP
    🔻 WS: The Russian high command apparently doesn’t share your perspective on these matters.

    ATACMS is a highly mobile missile system. And, as this most recent salvo has again confirmed: the Russians are able to consistently defeat most if not all of them in the salvo sizes seen so far.
    🔻 C11: Then who lunched them?
    🔻 WS: At this point, I don’t believe any such strike occurred.
    🔻 C12: So why are the Russians threatening us with we3?
    🔻 WS: I am not aware of the Russians having said ANYTHING regarding a Storm Shadow strike in Kursk.
    [exactly. All this BS is an optical provocation, if only a narrative filler to say, “red lines can be crossed without consequence”..]
    🔻 C13: Whats the response to the fragments of storm shadows found at the explosion site?
    🔻 WS: What “explosion site”? There has been no provenance provided for these pieces of debris; no evidence of where they came from; no chain of custody.
    [continuation of another thread]
    🔥 First Salvo Fail

    The cumulative evidence indicates the first US salvo of ATACMS missiles “deep into Russia” was all whimper and no bang.

    A mere 6 were launched at a target ~100km across the border. 5 were shot down, 1 was disabled, its debris igniting a couple small fires.
    🔻 C1: They simpley haven’t started yet; |media|
    🔻 WS: What are you talking about? There have been at least 200 – 300 ATACMS fired at Russian targets since October 2023, and even more Storm Shadow / SCALP-EG cruise missiles. A few have gotten through, but the overwhelming majority have been shot down.
    🔻 C2: Do you think Russia has the capabilities to deal with JASSM? I read somewhere that there are plans to introduce them in the conflict.
    🔻 WS: JASSM are slow, easily jammed, and not hard to shoot down. They must be launched from high-altitude, they fly high, and are easily detected and targeted. Even the Syrians have shot down some of them. JASSM would be less effective than the easily defeated SCALP-EG.
    🔻 C2: Glad to hear. That said it looks like Russia is waiting for the moment when the West has used its available offensive hightech to leverage its own technology. I understand the doomers, but nobody said when Russia would retaliate.

    🔻 Armchair Warlord: First the Ukrainians blow up the mayo factory, then they shoot 12 cruise missiles at an outhouse in Kursk.

    Look, if you guys don’t want to fight the war seriously you can just do what most Europeans do and get into really violent and intense soccer rivalries or something.
    🔻 WS: Where is the credible evidence that Storm Shadow cruise missiles struck any target in Kursk? I have seen none. At this point, I don’t believe any cruise missiles were even launched.
    🔻 C2: Do you think it is all a war games psyop?
    🔻 WS: Absent any credible evidence of cruise missile strikes, and given that the quadcopter video of the purported strike has apparently been identified as an October 11th HIMARS strike, it would appear to be a disinfo operation.
    🔻 C2: OK. And what do you make of the Warlord’s suggestion that the Ukrainians have got capacity to launch ATACAMS as MLRS – without the targeting cryptography enabling? UAF gone rogue and placement of story in NYT as cover?
    🔻 WS: I don’t discount the possibility that there are Ukrainian specialists ABLE to do it. But I strongly doubt that they are PERMITTED to do it — or that they even have control over the missiles and the HIMARS/M-270 launchers fitted out for ATACMS.

    All the ATACMS strikes since October 2023 have strictly conformed to US-dictated rules of engagement. I don’t believe the Ukrainians would have been sufficiently restrained and disciplined had they been in direct control of the missiles and launchers.
    🔻 C3: Are US personnel with the launchers. Seems risky given how many himars have been taken out.
    🔻 WS: At least several hundred “US personnel” have died in Ukraine in this war.
    🔻 C4: Priest class infuriated with “cowardly” warrior class – God Wills it after all – attempting to create the conditions for greater war?

    There has been no Russian official comment about a Storm Shadow missile strike in Kursk region.

    The missile debris photos have no known provenance.

    The video shot in the town is uninformative.

    The quadcopter video is of a HIMARS strike from October 11. |THREAD|

Over the past 13 months, these atrocities have become a daily occurrence, to the point where they barely make headlines anymore.

Such normalisation is a failure of conscience and a stark indictment of the global community’s silence and indifference.

They pretend to support Palestinians and be “objective.” They know the very little food and supplies that gets into the extermination camp is (1) immediately bombed, whether in warehouses, or preferably with people gathered around them; (2) dumped in areas inaccessible to recipients; (3) given to thieves and criminals to extort the masses. It is all satanic mockery. The worst three groups in this entire holocaust are the UN, compradore arab neighbors, and Europeans.  The Anglo-Zionists are less evil in their open barbarism]

    ⭕ ❗️Key statements by Sergey Naryshkin, director of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR):

    • Attempts by individual NATO countries to participate in providing long-range missiles for Ukrainian forces to strike deep inside Russia will not go unpunished;
    • The expansion of the list of grounds for the use of nuclear weapons by Russia virtually rules out the possibility of defeating it on the battlefield;
    • The West was wary of the approval of this document (https://t.me/SputnikInt/70835), and they understand that such a step largely devalues the efforts of the United States and NATO to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia;
    • The West is aware of the need for greater restraint in relations with Russia in order to not get involved in a catastrophic military conflict itself.

    💠@Eva Karene Bartlett:
    Alexander Prokhanov, writer, journalist, public and political figure:

    “In 1948, the Israeli state fell on Palestinian lands like a meteorite falls, scorching the space around it, leaving a gaping crater. Since then, Israel has been expelling Palestinians from their ancestral lands, filling camps with Palestinian refugees, and filling its dungeons with Palestinian rebels. The Palestinians are a martyr people, a warrior people, a herald of justice. The battle between the Palestinians and Israel is a battle between the oppressed and the torturers & executioners.

    …Gaza is a suicide city. Gaza is a gas chamber where children and the elderly suffocate in agony. If you want to understand what godlessness and cruelty are, look at the ruins of Gaza, which are oozing with blood, and every stone screams with the voice of a murdered child, every fragment of the wall is filled with prayers of murdered women and old people.

    Israel is the nurse of America. Billions of dollars go from America to Israel, feeding the Israeli army, establishing a system in Israel that pleases America. The Palestinians, fighting Israel, are fighting America. The Russian army, fighting in Ukraine, is fighting America. America is the enemy of Palestine and the enemy of Russia.

    The Palestinians, by raising an uprising in Gaza, distracted the power of America, which moved its aircraft carriers and strategic bombers to the Middle East, and it became easier for Russian soldiers at Kupyansk and Avdiivka. The Hamas attack on Israel, the burning Merkava tanks, the captured Israeli generals – all this destroyed the myth of Israel’s invincibility.

    I was in the Gaza Strip and I saw how this prison is arranged. Gaza is surrounded by a huge concrete wall along the land border. The wall is entwined with barbed wire, on it there are towers with machine guns, photocells and night vision devices. And everyone who comes into the field of view of this deadly optics, be it a person, a cow or a bird, is killed by automatic machine guns. From the sea, Israeli military boats are on duty day and night, suppressing attempts by Palestinian fishermen to go fishing.

    The Palestinians, fighting the blockade, like prisoners, fighting the jailer, dig underground passages, dig tunnels under the concrete wall. Through these tunnels, food, clothing, screws for water pipes, electronics for communications, as well as weapons of rebellion go to Gaza.

    In Gaza, I prayed in a fifth-century Christian church, listened to lectures at the Islamic University, met with the Russian wives of Palestinian engineers, doctors, teachers who studied in the Soviet Union, and now their children living in Gaza speak Russian.

    Together with Palestinian women, I planted an olive grove in the vicinity of Gaza. And now my tree is among the olives, and Israeli rockets are flying over it, the blast wave is tearing off its leaves. This tree is mine. This tree is me. And I’m all in fragments.

    Gaza is being killed before the eyes of mankind. And humanity babbles about compassion, about divine justice, convenes the Security Council at the UN. Meanwhile, bombs and rockets incinerate Gaza. And the blood of Gaza is on all mankind.

    Picasso painted the great painting “Guernica” about a city that was destroyed by Nazi bombers. Gaza is the Guernica of our days.”

    [picking up on recent thread:]
    🤔 Thoughts on Missile Strikes “Deep into Russia”

    🔹ATACMS …
    🔻 C1: One of these missiles gets through, hits a Russian apartment complex and kills hundreds, game on.

    The Deep State is counting on a massive Russian response so they can play the victim and justify war with Russia.

    Most Americans are oblivious to the US trying to pick a fight.
    🔻 WS: The Pentagon wants nothing to do with a war against Russia — a war they would lose, even if it didn’t go nuclear.
    🔻 C2: I agree with what you’re trying to say, but I have to point out that a 200km kill range by *any* SAM versus a fighter is extremely optimistic, not conservative.
    🔻 C3: Do a Google search for 40N6 and then come back and tell us what you found.
    🔻 C2: I know what a 40N6 is lmao. You’re still talking about > 60 second interception time vs non maneuvering target. Again, with optimal tactics by both sides, this should be very low PK
    🔻 WS: I’m not entirely certain I understand what you’re trying to say, but if you believe any US aircraft can outmaneuver or outrun a pair of 40N6E interceptors, let alone a pair of R-37s, then you are mistaken.
    🔻 C2: Have you ever heard the term “missile envelope”? If a missile is fired at a target at its maximum kinematic range, *any* course deviation away from the launcher will cause the missile to miss.

    For a target on a constant course and speed, the envelope looks like a mushroom. Between the maximum kinematic range and the no-escape range, there remains the possibility of kinematically defeating the missile by simply dropping altitude and flying directly away from the track signal. This is complicated somewhat by TVM (track-via-missile) which precludes launch warning and closure estimation, but the large sites like S300,400,500 are permanent and the pilot would be aware of their locations and still have rough estimates of range.
    🔻 WS: First of all, there is a reason I specified 200km as the kill radius for Russian long-range SAMs and AAMs.

    Secondly, the 40N6E and R-37 have active/semi-active homing. The R-37 has mid-course correction. US/NATO fighters cannot evade or outrun these interceptors.
    🔻 C2: Lmao buddy I’m not biased, Russian IADS are the best in the words no doubt, but you clearly are out of your depth here. No weapons system is omnipotent. Evading SAMs is a matter of physics. There will never be a SAM that is impossible for any fighter to evade
    🔻 WS: I repeat: inside a 200km radius, the ability of ANY US/NATO fighter to evade or outrun a pair of Russian 40N6E or R-37 is effectively nil. I won’t say it’s entirely impossible, but it is HIGHLY unlikely.

    My good friend @MihajlovicMike may like to interject on this topic as well.
    🔻 C2: You can repeat yourself all you like, there’s still no argument between your premises and your conclusion. Russia has eaten our lunch on IADS front, but the point about SAMs in the OP is exaggerated.
    🔻 WS: I just re-read my original post. Please cite the part where you believe I “exaggerated” anything about Russian SAM capabilities.
    🔻 C2: Again, I agree with everything else you said. In the context of your OP, this amounts to nitpicking
    🔻 WS: I should say that you have been very gracious throughout our little discussion. And I have probably been more confrontational than I would typically be with someone deserving of respect, as you are. I can get that way sometimes with the hordes of “US air power reigns supreme” people I face from day to day.

    And, upon reflection, I have to confess that neither I nor anyone else can be certain what will happen if/when top-shelf US fighter aircraft face off against top-shelf Russian AD, fighters, and missile tech.

    This much is certain: even the Russians themselves were exceedingly wary of challenging Ukraine’s older generation S-300 and Buk systems in the early stages of this war.

    And I distinctly remember listening, about a year ago, to the audio recording of a Russian pilot flying either an Su-27 or Su-35, as he interacted with ground radar personnel while attempting to outmaneuver / outrun a pair of PAC-3 missiles. It was a harrowing couple minutes (the Russian audio was subtitled in English). And you could hear how strenuous it was for the pilot to make repeated max-G maneuvers as he reacted to directions from the radar guys on the ground.

    Anyway, although part of me hopes we never have to see what will happen in the event of a major US air campaign against Russia, there is still another part of me that would like to find out the objective truth of the matter. If, as I strongly suspect, US air power would be revealed as highly vulnerable, I think it would ultimately be one of the most salutary and sobering things that could happen to the US.
    🔻 C2: I’m not sure exactly what avionics the Su27 in the example is packing, but the original Su27s had terrible equipment for this sort of thing, so the pilot was likely flying with last gen defences against current gen SAMs
    🔻 WS: As I said, I don’t recall for sure what aircraft was involved. All I remember for sure is that it was evading PAC-3 interceptors.

    Maybe someone else can find the audio clip in question. I posted about it at the time. But I haven’t tried to search for it in my history.
    🔻 C2: I mentioned in my first reply. A “200 km kill radius” is not conservative, it is optimistic for the defenders. Even for S400.
    🔻 WS: Well … I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree on that point.

    I will be interested in what @MihajlovicMike thinks.
    🔻 @MihajlovicMike: Before delving into the concept of air defense system effectiveness, it is essential to elucidate the distinctions between efficiency and effectiveness. Per P. Drucker’s insights, efficiency denotes “doing things right,” while effectiveness signifies “doing the right things.” Efficiency is quantified by the ratio of effects to costs, reflecting the precision in execution, whereas effectiveness gauges the extent to which objectives are accomplished.

    The efficacy of a weapon system is measured by the degree of success anticipated in achieving its designated goals.

    Effectiveness can be considered as a product of Availability (A), Reliability (R), and Capability (C). The effectiveness of an air defense system is gauged by its capability to fulfill predefined objectives and tasks within specific temporal and operational constraints.2

    Effectiveness = 𝐴∗𝑅∗𝐶.

    When we talk about the effectiveness of air defense, we are talking about certain margins that greatly depend on the specific system. There is no such thing as a 100% effective integrated AD system. Many individual components combined in a broad scope can yield some parameters and numbers of integrated air defense, but these numbers shall always be taken with reserve.
    What is the reason for this reserve? Firstly, when an individual system is designed, one of the first requirements is to be able to hit the target with reasonable probability (“doing things right”). For the sake of exercise and to play with the numbers, the probability of hitting a target with one missile is broadly accepted in older systems as an average of 75%. Because of that, a typical target is engaged with 2 or more missiles, which increases the probability to 95-99%. What happened with that 1 %? Simply put, that is used as a margin, meaning designers will try to avoid that magic probability of 100% speaking in general but would rather use wording such as “likely,” “highly likely,” or “with the greatest probability.” These numbers are related to the design requirements and the proving ground test results. Combat situations are something different, and in this situation, random and stochastic events happen.

    A target can be of many different shapes and flying envelopes. To simplify, hitting a big “fat” non-maneuvering target such as a transport or passenger plane that does not have any means of knowing that it is targeted can be almost 100%, but the probability of hitting a highly maneuverable, low-flying target with stealth characteristics can be as low as 5-10%. In any case, this crucially depends on the particular missile system and associated components. Launching 2 or more missiles per single target increases the probability of success.

    AD is engaging the targets within the engagement zone and typically will not launch at the farthest edge simply because it will give the target more time for evasion. 200 km for 40N6E or R-37 is within the optimal engagement zone. At this distance, for example, to achieve the declared probability (90+%) of a hit, AD will launch 2 or even 3 missiles. Multichannel guidance and correction in flight do not leave much space for the target, but there is no guarantee of 100% hit.
    🔻 C4: What military purpose do these long range NATO missiles serve? Or are they like the V2 rockets of 1944/5, a sure sign that the jig is up?
    https://www.iwm.org.uk/history/why-the-v2-rocket-was-a-big-mistake
    🔻 WS: First of all, they’re not “long range”. That is a misnomer.

    Second, they are effective weapons against an adversary that lacks the capability to shoot them down and/or jam their GPS guidance. Unfortunately for the US, the Russians can consistently defeat these missiles.
    🔻 C4: Thanks for the clarification. So this confirms that these missiles serve no military purpose and are an admission of NATO’s failure in Ukraine, just as Hitler’s V2 programme was a sign of the regime’s final collapse and defeat.
    🔻 Victor The Cleaner: A nuclear strike on London or Paris would be a single winning move. Neither of the two have a relevant second strike capability against Russia, and the US would not risk the destruction of their homeland just in order to avenge some idiots in Europe.
    🔻 C6: In France we have submarines that can launch nuclear missiles.
    🔻 Victor The Cleaner: How many can you launch simultaneously? How much will be left of France, and how much will be left of Russia? What’s different compared to the 1960s Cold War is the amount of raging idiots, that’s certain.
    🔻 C6: You presume that all europeans are pro war with Russia. It’s not the case, it’s not my case.
    I’m just saying that we can retaliate. One missile has like 10/12 nuclear warhead. One submarine has many missiles. And we have 4/5 submarines I believe. So…
    🔻 Victor The Cleaner: No, I am not saying that. I am saying that a nuclear bomb on London or on Paris would be a winning move for Russia b/c it would expose NATO as a bluff and display the “cowardice” of America (which is not coward, but rather the only rational response in this case).
    🔻 C6: I think that the english needs the authorization of americans to send their missiles. But in France we have our own nuclear program, with our own missiles. We would strike Russia without a doubt.
    But I hope that we don’t come at this end. Nobody would win.
    🔻 Victor The Cleaner: It is the stupidity of the millennium that NATO maneouvered themselves into this position. Basically every possible move is a losing move. You might think that Putin’s best people work at Whitehall.
    🔻 C6: I think that it’s a good move on a tactical point of view. Even if I’m not agreeing with what they have done.
    Russia is stuck, because if they want ton negociate with Trump, they can’t go too far.
    They don’t want to start WWIII.
    They have to endure it for 2 month.

    The americans wants to support ukrainians in Kursk, to hold the front, to give them leverage in negotiations with Putin.

    ☝️note the reckless evil: they advanced another installment of the dole to 404 RIGHT AFTER THE ATTACK ON BRYANSK. Who is leading whom? The Resistance maintains it is USUK suiciding Zion; it is likely the same in 404, with the panicked UkroNazis being pulled to their annihilation. Recall the Cokehead spent first month of the SMO deep in a bunker. A coward rarely changes spots, just like psychopaths leading him

    💠@Strategika51:
    ATACMS used for the umpteenth time against targets inside Russian territory, this time in the Bryansk Oblast.
    An act calculated to the millimeter to obtain a calculated reaction of the same order of magnitude.
    In the Pentagon, there are at least 40% who want everything to fly into pieces.

    Some quick observations:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    ⭕ Lebanon Front news update:

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