    ☝️ this sordid chapter is coming to a close. The stench of the bile in western mouths fills the air. From working to use this issue to keep Iran disarmed and isolated, the loons realize overlate it was actually used in the opposite direction.. to buy time as civilizational-states consolidated, defenses built for inevitable war, and the Anglo-Zionists weakened more and more by the hour. This is how the civilized do it folks..

    ⭕ Healing words: Speech therapy brings Gaza’s children back to normalcy

    Children in the Gaza Strip live under constant stress due to unstoppable Israeli bombings. The fear they’ve endured has left some with seizures, involuntary urination, stuttering, and in some cases, complete loss of speech. Speech therapist Dina Hani has set up sessions for children in her tent near Khan Yunis to help them regain their ability to speak. The results are remarkable—many children are speaking again, and all who attend come to the lessons with joy and enthusiasm.

    In an interview with Sputnik, Dina shared how children are slowly relearning to speak, step by step, just as they did before the war. |media|

    ⭕ 🇬🇶 Russian power creeps across West Africa with Equatorial Guinea mission

    Russia has deployed up to 200 military instructors to Equatorial Guinea in recent weeks to protect the presidency, sources told Reuters, showing Moscow is expanding its footprint in West Africa.

    The sources said the Russians were training elite guards in the two main cities of the tiny oil-exporting country of 1.7 million people, where U.S. energy firms invested billions of dollars in the first decade of the century before scaling down.

    The deployment fits into a wider pattern of waning Western influence and increasing Russian interventions in West and Central Africa, where Moscow has sent thousands of mercenaries to protect military regimes and help them fight insurgents.

    In Equatorial Guinea, where 82-year-old President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo has ruled since seizing power in a coup in 1979 and is grooming his favourite son to succeed him, Russian security could ward off any threat to the ruling dynasty.

    On a visit to Moscow in September, Obiang thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin for sending “instructors” to strengthen Equatorial Guinea’s defences, state news agency TASS reported.

    ⭕ Israel (and sympathisers) are lowering their demands from “control of the Middle East” to “withdrawal north of the Litani River”. Why should Hezbollah give anything when it has no village or town to lose in the south, the Bekaa or the suburbs?

    ⭕ 🇷🇺In December 2024, Russia will hold exercises to disconnect the Russian segment of the Internet from the global network. The reasons are obvious – in the event of a full-fledged war with NATO, they will try to bring down the entire network infrastructure of Russia connected to the western part of the global network in the shortest possible time. Therefore, in the conditions of a hot war with the West, we will have to exist within the framework of our segment. Testing such scenarios is an urgent need, even without references to the need to test the stability of our segment of the Internet in the face of ongoing cyberattacks on our network infrastructure.

    It only remains to hope that the exercises will be successful and that the services that people need, including those used in the interests of our troops’ actions in Ukraine, will not collapse in the process.

    💠@Fotros Resistance:
    IAEA’s Director General visted Tehran; here are a couple of things to note about his visit:

    1. DG Grossi has brought a message to Iran that seemingly has two parts. The most urgent one is that the E3(UK, Germany & France) are preparing a condemning report and resolution against Iran at the BoG.
    2. The second part of DG’s Grossi message is the possibility of Israel striking Iran’s nuclear facilities if Tehran continues with the restrictions imposed on the IAEA. Grossi says he will pay a visit to Fordow and Natanz nuclear facilities, too, to get a first-hand calculation.
    3. Grossi openly accuses Tehran of being the cause of the tension, adding that Iran should start de-escalation and resolve the current crisis. Grossi sees Tehran as the one invoking the crisis by revoking the licenses of 9 agency inspectors & denying IAEA’s access to cameras.
    4. Iran has expectations in return for allowing the IAEA resume access to its online cameras and broader inspections.   But DG Grossi rejects the possibility of meeting Iran’s expectations: “it’s not (for the IAEA) to reward every country that Okays inspections.”
    5. What is Iran’s response? ?  Atomic chief Eslami threatens that Iran will act immediately if any condemning resolution is passed at the IAEA.  Though not revealing what that action will be, we can make a guess: Purifying uranium at higher degrees or installing new centrifuge cascades.
    6. Iran’s FM Araghchi who plays the good cop sounds more lenient: “Iran will cooperate ONLY IF the other sides (IAEA + E3) meet their end if the bargain”. Nevertheless Araghchi throws the final shot: “Tehran will not negotiate under pressure or harassment”.
    7. Today, the TOP commander of the IRGC, Hossein Salami said to Israel: “Wait for our retaliation because it will be very painful”. Ali Larijani also arrived in Syria today with Sayyed Khamenei’s message of support for Assad amid increasing Israeli threats against him.

    (Recap by Fereshteh Sadeghi on X)
    [look at the two in the photo op. If you didn’t know them, which would you say is the stone-hearted Zionist warmonger, and which the dapper Iranian who thinks he has the Anglo-Zionists over a barrel??]
    Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Army: “We will definitely give a crushing response to the Zionist regime.”

    • Iran determines the time & manner of response to the Zionist regime. We will not delay, we will respond when we see fit. Our answer will definitely be decisive.

    ➡️ This is in response to the Sky News Arab report that Iran is going to delay its response after Trump’s election. Which is irrelevant to Iran’s timing.
    ⭕ Initial reports of an Israeli aggression on Qudsaya (Damascus countryside), at the same time an attack on al-Mazzeh in Damascus.
    ⭕ The aggression on Damascus coincides with the presence of Larijani, Iran’s former Parliament Speaker & current special envoy of Iran’s Leader.

    Larijani is heading a delegation on an official visit to meet with senior Syrian officials today.
    ⭕ ☠️ The Israeli Army admits to the elimination of a commander officer & injury of another officer in southern Lebanon earlier today:

    🔻Lieutenant Ivri Dickshtein, 21, a platoon commander in the Golani Brigade’s 51st Battalion.

    Another officer in the battalion was seriously wounded in the same incident.

    ⭕ ❗️Israeli aircraft attacked the Mazzeh area in the center of the Syrian capital Damascus

    Reports from Sputnik correspondent in Damascus:

    • Civil defense and firefighting units rush to the site of the Israeli missile attack in the western Mazzeh area;
    • Three guided missiles hit an apartment building on the outskirts of the district;
    • There are dead and wounded as a result of the Israeli airstrike, but the exact numbers are still being determined
    • The attack coincided simultaneously with an Israeli airstrike on an apartment building in the Qudsaya suburb of Damascus;
    • Reports confirm that several people were injured in that attack. |media|

    ⭕ 🔻 C1: Your point is?
    🔻 WS: My point is that anyone who puts “think tank researcher” and “PhD” in their X bio is guaranteed to be an undiscerning imbecile.
    ⭕ 🔻 Arnaud Bertrand: Quite something to hear the upcoming US Secretary of Defense admit that the US would lose its “whole power projection system” in the first 20 minutes of a war with China 👇
    |media|
    “The Pentagon has a perfect record in all of its war games against China: we lose everytime. We know what our real capabilities are. […] Our whole power projection system is aircraft carriers. And you know, 15 hypersonic missiles can take out our 10 aircraft carriers in the first 20 minutes of a conflict.”

    He’s an insane warmonger for sure (the guy was literally a professional pro-Iraq war activist) but he does seem aware of the balance of power. Why do you think the US only wages war against small weak states (and even then, never wins)…

    Although of course this type of rhetoric will undoubtedly be used to yet again justify increasing the size of the military-industrial complex, because if the US can’t win wars with a $1 trillion yearly budget, maybe it’s because it just doesn’t spend enough money 😏
    🔻 C2: We can always try to instigate other nations to fight China… we just supply the weapons and watch from a distance (-> Ukraine)
    🔻 WS: The US/NATO have depleted an extraordinary amount of their equipment and munitions stockpiles in a failed attempt to use the #MotherOfAllProxyArmies in Ukraine to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia.

    Now the Russian armaments industry alone is far out-producing the entire west.
    🔻 C2: just wait until ze Rheinmetal production plant in Ukraine is up to speed – ze stock is already up 500%. Zis way, we circumvent export restrictions nobody honored anyway. Ze stupid Greens have, voluntarily, become fans of ze war, too!
    🔻 C3: This is interesting!
    Having someone who knows the risks in a position of influence should hopefully promote much more cautious + peace-orientated policy…

    But let’s see…
    🔻 C4: The last time this happened was a century ago when the UK handed the baton of world bully to the USA.

    China will replace the USA before 1st October 2049
    🔻 C5: Martyanov just stated on Garland Nixon that Russia helped China build defence system and that China can see over the horizon.
    Russia couldn’t see over the earths curvature Maybe now they can. This means they get more warning of a nuclear attack If I understood correctly
    🔻 WS: Russia has had over the horizon radars for decades.
    ⭕ In my opinion, Tulsi Gabbard’s biases predispose her to believe making war against Iran is an American strategic imperative.

    Her intelligence assessments will reflect that predisposition.

    The empire needs a war, and Iran is their only practicable option.

    #NoEasyWarsLeftToFight
    🔻 C1: She opposed funding “rebels” in Syria when few were willing to do so. Why would she want war in Iran??

    You need to provide better analysis than this.
    🔻 WS: Just because you don’t believe it doesn’t mean it is bad analysis.

    Virtually the entire Trump slate of nominees at this point consists of hard-core anti-Iran #EmpireAtAllCosts cultists.

    This lineup is almost certain to do something extraordinarily stupid.
    🔻 C2: There isn’t going to be a war against Iran
    🔻 WS: Not a big protracted war, to be sure.

    The US simply cannot engage in a ground war against Iran. Nor can they put the US Navy into the Persian Gulf, or anywhere very close to Iran.

    But they’re probably dumb enough to try to “punish” Iran with a brief and disastrous air campaign.
    🔻 C3: Everyone’s predicting war with Iran, but my guess is it will be with Venezuela.
    🔻 WS: I see many people saying this. I give it ZERO possibility. It would be seen worldwide as a MASSIVE imperial retreat, and exploited as such. There is no evidence the empire is leaning towards retreat at this juncture.
    🔻 Marcus Aurelius: Another point. Iran is the size of the entire NE, Mid-Atlantic, Toronto, and Montreal. NATO is spent on weapons to Ukraine, and Germany, UK and US the same to Israel. No way boots on the ground can cover Iran’s terrain and no way Trump risks Straits getting shutdown
    🔻 WS: Consistent with what I have written for years now, I agree a US ground war against Iran is an utter impossibility, as is a naval incursion into or even near the Persian Gulf.

    But this Trump administration will almost certainly be dumb enough to attempt an air campaign.
    [Orange Camacho Gang On Duty!!]
    🔻 Marcus Aurelius: I probably stole those talking points from you lol. But yes, popcorn is ready for this Trump admin to embarrass themselves going to war with Iran.
    🔻 C5: No chance. Trump is dead set against any more stupid risk taking. You are vastly underestimating the commonsense of the man.
    🔻 WS: No I’m not. But most of the MAGA disciples are vastly OVERESTIMATING the intelligence, discernment, and common sense of Donald Trump. He is almost certain to sooner or later do something extraordinarily ill-advised.
    🔻 Marcus Aurelius: Bingo! The MAGA crew, and I’m a recovering MAGA from 2016, are stricken with American exceptionalism
    🔻 C5: What gets you the idea she wants to go to war against anybody?
    If Tulsi isn´t a dove, I don´t know who is.
    🔻 WS: Because I have paid close attention to what she has said over the course of many years. Her mask has slipped on more than one occasion.
    [Barry.. another Hawaiian..]
    🔻 C5: The woman is basically honest. She doesn´t wear a mask. In this case, you are fortunately too paranoid.
    🔻 WS: Well … time will tell.
    🔻 C5: Trump is not planning to start a war anywhere.
    🔻 WS: Wait and see. He simply wants to find a war the US has a chance to win. Russia, China, and Iran have formed a tri-partite alliance, and Iran is perceived as the weakest link in that alliance. Trump will be persuaded that Iran needs to be “taught a lesson” it will not soon forget.
    [BINGO]
    🔻 C6: I am hoping Trump will keep his word, make peace in Ukraine and the Middle East. The alternative with Deep state and Kamala was not an option.
    🔻 WS: It was a no-win scenario, as I wrote about beforehand
    🔻 C7: USA can’t beat Yemen. Iran? No chance
    🔻 C8: I have had a few classmates who were former military officers. They all talked the same way so I suspect they were all brainwashed, necessarily so, to defend American interests. However, it seems to me that that none of Trump’s neocon and hawk appointees knew who Lavrov was. Unlike Chaney, Rumsfeld, and Bolton, these guys never left Florida or Hawaii. They bark really loud but they don’t scare anybody.
    🔻 C9: THE MOST HIGH will not allow that aggression agains IRAN… the evil CANNOT prevail
    🔻 WS: Don’t be silly.
    🔻 Eastgermannative: Leider hast du recht.
    🔻 C11: The US cannot win a war against Iran. The logistics, military numbers, regional allies, economics, etc aren’t there.

    But a war against Mexico and/or the cartels? The logistics check out, recruitment will be overflowing, don’t need allies, short logistics, and it will be POPULAR
    🔻 C11: US elites would prefer a war with Iran, but if they *really* need a war to paper over domestic problems Mexico is actually viable.

    Americans don’t care that much about the mid-east at this point, but they’ll eagerly burn Mexico to the ground.
    [this ain’t about “domestic problems.” It’s messianic madness or eschatological. And they sense they got one last big one in them. And their holy of holies burns in the Holy Land, so…]
    🔻 WS: I keep seeing this idea get thrown around. And the more I think about it, the dumber it gets.

    I don’t believe people are thinking this through.

    I suspect the Mexicans would be quite able to conduct a punishing asymmetric guerrilla war against the US.

    #NoEasyWarsLeftToFight
    🔻 C11: A war against Mexico (there is no clear line between the cartels and Mexican state) would not be a normal american war, it would be politically transformative.

    You could mobilize America in a way that you never could for Iran or even after 9/11
    🔻 WS: I don’t believe this at all. They would have to crank up conscription again to fill the ranks. And if they tried to do the job with special forces, they’d get massacred in detail.

    I don’t buy for moment the idea the US is going to launch a military campaign against Mexico.
    🔻 C11: Ohhh, I don’t think the US will either. I actually find it quite unlikely. It’s not conflict that Americas elite is interested in. “But how does this help Israel?”, they protest!

    But you’re wrong about them needing conscription. They’d have to turn down volunteers.

    To be clear, the U.S. government is the only thing holding back Americans from forming volunteer militias and wiping out border crossers and cartels, if not outright annexing parts of Mexico.

    And that’s with ZERO army involvement.
    🔻 WS: This is #BatshitCrazy silly talk.

    “Volunteer militias”?

    Ok. I don’t doubt a few hundred, maybe even several hundred clueless “volunteers” will sally forth boldly to “wipe out border crossers and cartels”.

    🔻 WS: I know they bleed as easily as any other people on the face of the earth.
    🔻 WS: If Americans invade Mexico, a substantial proportion of Mexicans will rise up to resist it. And heavy firepower will flood into Mexico from all around the globe.

    I do not understand why people do not see this.
    🔻 C12: Your analysis IS bad because you are making blanket, generalized statements about the Trump nominees. You obviously know very little about Tulsi Gabbard. She is anti-war in the sense that only someone who has served in the military can be. This is just biased opinion.
    🔻 WS: I’ve followed Gabbard for years. I spoke highly of her a few years ago, here on this platform.

    She was saying “all the right things”.

    But, alas, she eventually revealed herself. She is a devout disciple of the “Islam must be destroyed” cult.
    🔻 C12: More unsubstantiated opinion…got it.

    💠 @Sputnik Africa:
    ⭕ 🇺🇸🇲🇺 Donald Trump wants to block the UK deal to hand over the Chagos Archipelago to Mauritius, media reports

    US President-elect Donald Trump was reportedly briefed on the Chagos Islands by the UK and asked the presidential transition team to seek legal advice from the Pentagon.

    According to the media, Trump indicated that, if elected, he would oppose the deal based on the country’s defense ministry advice regarding global security.

    The administration of current US President Joe Biden previously welcomed the agreement between Britain and Mauritius, which is expected to come into force next year after it is ratified by the British parliament.
    [This new gang is unhinged, and even before the start gate. These stolen islands include the main pirate forward base of the Indian Ocean in Diego Garcia. Essential for both long range bombers and US Navy]
    ⭕ 🇷🇺🏆🆚🇺🇸 Trump Meets “The Art of the Russian Deal” – Will Hubris Lead to Humiliation?

    In his latest geopolitical fantasy, President-elect Trump seems to think he can charm his way to peace in Ukraine by dangling a 20-year NATO “moratorium” in front of Moscow. But let’s get real: Trump’s 20-year pause is just a soft reset for NATO expansion, a sugar-coated “deal” that Russia will laugh out of the room. Trump’s version of diplomacy is the equivalent of painting over a crack in a dam; a cosmetic pause that does nothing to address the existential fault lines underneath.

    Trump’s team has floated the idea of a 20-year waiting period before NATO could open its doors to Ukraine, with Europe and the UK enforcing an 800-mile “demilitarized” buffer zone. But look closer, and this “demilitarized” zone is as NATO as it gets—European and British troops patrolling along Russia’s borders, under the guise of non-NATO peacekeepers, in a scheme as transparent as glass. The Kremlin doesn’t suffer from Washington’s illusions. Moscow sees this for what it is: NATO dressed up in the emperor’s new clothes, a de-facto NATO encirclement that threatens Russia’s sovereignty as surely as any missile installation.

    Russia’s calculus here isn’t swayed by verbal sleight of hand or diplomatic smoke and mirrors. Moscow’s red lines are etched in stone, carved by centuries of history and the scars of NATO’s aggression. The SMO wasn’t launched on a whim; it was born from a necessity to prevent NATO from embedding itself on Russia’s doorstep. Any notion that Russia would acquiesce to “NATO-lite” in exchange for empty promises is laughable (been there, done that – not one inch eastward). Trump may style himself a dealmaker, but he’ll soon discover that the art of the Russian deal is a whole different beast.

    Here’s the brutal reality that Washington refuses to acknowledge: Russia has not only defeated Ukraine; it has defeated NATO itself, the combined military-industrial might of the West. The IMF confirms Russia now ranks as the world’s 4th largest economy by PPP, resurgent powerhouse that has defeated sanctions, total war, and mockingbird-media propaganda. The old unipolar order lies shattered, and Russia is not about to let NATO dictate terms, especially from across an “800-mile” charade.

    So Trump can posture, he can “negotiate,” but the truth is, the Russian bear won’t dance to Washington’s tune. The West has tried and failed to corner Russia, militarily, economically, and diplomatically. Now, Trump, in his audacity, believes he can negotiate out of what is total defeat. But the Kremlin isn’t buying what Washington’s selling. Russia is ready to secure its national interests on her terms, not through some hollow Western concession.

    But perhaps the greatest irony here is that Trump, in his ambition to make a deal, might just end up penning his name on NATO’s silent surrender, a signature on a capitulation crafted in the shadows. The art of this Russian deal may well mean that the ‘deal’ Trump envisions is one where the West’s so-called diplomacy bends before a resurgent Eurasian superpower. Trump’s ultimate realization might not be how to bring peace, but how to acknowledge defeat, one his own backers may insist he sugarcoat for domestic consumption

    Trump might think he’s crafting a historic deal, but Moscow has already written the closing chapter: there will be no pause, no backdoor NATO-lite arrangement, and no illusion of “peace” on the West’s terms.

    ⭕ 🟥❌ Hezbollah announce using Nasr-1 missiles in field battles for the first time… What does that mean?

    In their 22nd statement earlier today, Hezbollah announced targeting a gathering of enemy forces in the southern outskirts of Bint Jbail town with a barrage of Nasr-1 rockets

    It is a surface-to-surface precision missile developed by the engineers of the Lebanese Resistance, deployed to strike vital targets and ports with an accuracy of up to 5 meters. It enjoys high maneuverability against air defense systems, and its system is immune to radio jamming. The missile was first put into service on October 14, 2024, with a:

    -302mm diameter
    -100kg warhead
    -100km range
    ➖➖➖
    “It’s very noteworthy that Hezbollah is introducing precision Nasr-1 missiles into the ground battles in southern Lebanon, after previously using them to strike vital military targets deep inside the [Zionist] entity

    The introduction of precision missiles into the ground battle is one of the surprises of the war, and may have been outside Israeli calculations

    The use of these missiles has a very significant impact, and it is reminiscent of Yemeni Ansarallah’s use of ballistic missiles to strike military gatherings in Shabwah during the Al-Bayda’-Shabwah battles in 2022 (Battle of Marib), which had a major impact that changed the face of the battle that day”

    ⭕ A member of the Supreme Political Council in Yemen, Mohammed Ali Al-Houthi, has challenged the United States to allow live broadcasts from the aircraft carrier “Abraham Lincoln” following its alleged targeting by Yemen.

    In a tweet on the platform “X,” Al-Houthi stated, “I challenge the Americans to allow channels to broadcast live from the carrier to deny their claims, as operations from Yemen are announced and not leaks, unlike the U.S. did days ago by spreading rumors about halting operations from Yemen and the passage of a military vessel for the entity, which was denied by free media who defeated their narrative and fabricated campaigns.”

    He emphasized that the ongoing operations of the Yemeni armed forces are part of the struggle against U.S. and British support and participation in Israeli terrorism against the people of Gaza and Lebanon. Al-Houthi pointed out that American and British involvement in the crimes of the Israeli entity only adds to the violence, asserting that every massacre constitutes a complete war crime.

    He highlighted that the continuous presence of the Abraham Lincoln carrier in areas targeted by Yemeni missiles and drones confirms its hostile role and ongoing illegal mission to support Israeli terrorism in the extermination of the people of Gaza and Lebanon, as well as the aggression against Yemen. He urged the Pentagon to reposition the aircraft carrier on their territory near Eisenhower.

    🔻 C4: That means likely retaliation on oil gas facilities of Saudi etc which might not be the more desired outcome.

    A moving excerpt from Pete Hegseth’s book, “American Crusade, Our Fight to Stay Free” (2020)

    “Simply put: if you don’t understand why Israel matters and why it is so central to the story of Western civilization—with America being its greatest manifestation—then you don’t live in history. America’s story is inextricably linked to Judeo-Christian history and the modern state of Israel. You can love America without loving Israel—but that tells me your knowledge of the Bible and Western civilization is woefully incomplete. If you’re going to crusade, you need to know the totality of your mission.

    This brief section is not intended to provide a full defense of Israel; but as an aspiring American Crusader, consider it homework. A great place to start, once again, is PragerU. Check out videos such as “Why Don’t You Support Israel?,” “Israel’s Legal Founding,” and “Why Does America Spend So Much on Israel?” After that, read A Durable Peace: Israel and Its Place Among the Nations by Benjamin Netanyahu. You’ll quickly realize the depth of connection among education, Israel, and Americanism.

    If you love America, you should love Israel. We share history, we share faith, and we share freedom. We love free people, free expression, and free markets. And whereas America is blessed with two big, beautiful oceans to protect it, Israel is surrounded on all sides by countries that either used to seek, or still seek, to wipe the nation off the map.

    The battle wages on Israeli soil as well. With each trip I take to Israel for FOX Nation, and on my personal time, I discover a new way in which Islamists and their leftist enablers seek to deny Jewish history and heritage. Today, Islamists in Jerusalem are attempting to claim that the Holy Temple built by King Solomon and rebuilt by Herod never existed. Apparently, they want us all to believe that Jews—from Abraham to Jesus—never sacrificed, built, or worshipped on that particular piece of real estate. “Temple denial” is yet another tool by which they seek to erase the Jews and the Jewish state. If that isn’t delusional enough, on a recent trip to Bethlehem—the birthplace of Jesus—I discovered that Palestinians now claim that Jesus was not in fact Jewish but instead a Palestinian. Try that one on for size—or watch my two FOX Nation documentaries on the subject: Battle in the Holy City and Battle in Bethlehem.”

    Pete Hegseth is known as a staunch supporter of Israel. He has accused several U.S. Representatives of serving a ‘Hamas agenda’, and that Israel should ‘flatten Gaza’.

    Furthermore, he supported the unprovoked killing of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in 2020, and urged the U.S. to bomb Iran directly, including cultural and religious sites.
    ⭕ For someone who says he does not seek war with Iran, he’s making some dubious choices.

    Of course, Rubio, like all other American politicians, is extremely pro-Israel. He controversially supported moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
    ⭕ Trump has selected Mike Huckabee as Ambassador to Israel

    Huckabee is so pro-Israel that he even actively encourages establishing Jewish settlements in the West Bank, which are illegal under international law, and almost every U.S. administration has urged Israel to stop the expansion of such settlements.

    He also denied the existence of Israel’s military occupation of the West Bank: ‘There is no such thing as a West Bank – it’s Judea and Samaria. There’s no such thing as a settlements. They’re communities. They’re neighborhoods. They’re cities. There’s no such thing as an occupation.’

    💠 @Palestinian Commie:
    ⭕ – 🌟 Analyst Khalil Nasrallah, commenting on Hezbollah’s operation against Tel Aviv earlier today, writes:

    ▪️ “As soon as the Israeli occupation army carried out a series of airstrikes on the southern suburb of Beirut, the resistance quickly carried out a strike in southern Tel Aviv targeting the “Tel Nof” base

    The message was clear, that Hezbollah is establishing an equation: targeting the suburbs is met with targeting Tel Aviv, and neutralizing Tel Aviv is met with neutralizing the suburbs

    This is another indication that Hezbollah’s command and control system has moved to an advanced stage in managing the ongoing war

    According to the military capability that Mr. Nasrallah had announced throughout the past stages, the resistance is capable of reaching Tel Aviv and beyond, all the way to Eilat

    ▪️ It is clear that the occupation army has expanded, during the past few days, its targeting of civilians, across the Lebanese geography, intending to cause a large number of martyrs to pressure Hezbollah

    On the other hand, it is clear that the resistance has continued to target military bases in different areas, but it has given field indications that it may gradually move towards targeting the heart of cities and settlements in Palestine

    The indication came through targeting Nahariya and Haifa in the way we saw. This means that the resistance leadership may not continue to limit its targeting to military bases if the Israelis continue to go too far and target civilians

    It is clear that the resistance leadership is conducting a precise battle, and it is choosing the times in which to advance from one stage to another
    ⭕ Hezbollah has published footage of the targeting of the Tel Nof airbase, southeast of Tel Aviv.

    They launched 6 Fadi rockets at their target. |media|

    ⭕ 🇪🇺🇮🇳🇫🇷 This is an interesting news story that illustrates the challenges facing the European defense industry. According to the report, the head of the French Army General Staff’s department stated that Paris is considering purchasing the Indian Pinaka multi-barrel rocket launcher system as a replacement for the aging American M270 MLRS.

    It appears that France is unable to meet its needs for rocket artillery either on its own or with the help of its NATO European allies. As a result, they are forced to turn to India, a relatively new player in the global arms market, for supplies of conventional MLRS.

    While it would be hasty to write off the French military industry – they produce advanced systems like CAESAR, Rafale, Mistral, and SCALP-EG – the fact that France is now looking at acquiring Indian artillery is quite remarkable, as this would have been unthinkable just 10 years ago.

    This is part of a broader trend in the EU, where significant stockpiles have been depleted by donations to Ukraine, and domestic products often have mediocre characteristics at exorbitant costs. As a result, European NATO countries are increasingly turning to “external” suppliers, including those that were previously unknown.

    If France can at least cover some of its needs on its own, the other European NATO countries will be forced to rely almost entirely on imports from the US and its Asian allies, producing only a few individual weapons and equipment models domestically.

    ⭕ European leaders are experiencing a seasonal mental breakdown after Trump’s victory. Their goal is to push the conflict with Russia into an irreversible stage. One moment, the Frenchman is squawking about supporting Kiev in case America steps back; the next, NATO bosses are showing off their ‘wisdom’ by discussing how to escalate the fight with us even further.

    Now, Germany’s chancellor candidate Merz is joining in with ultimatums. His message? Either you end your Special Military Operation, or I’ll hand Taurus missiles over to the Ukies the very next day. Obviously, such ‘ultimatums’ are nothing but election posturing. Clearly, these missiles won’t fundamentally alter the conflict’s trajectory. Sending them would simply prolong the suffering of the Banderite regime. What’s concerning, however, is that deploying such missiles would significantly increase the risk of this conflict reaching its most dangerous phase, as our President has warned.

    It’s remarkable, really, how eager today’s European politicians seem to be to invite war onto their own soil. Notably, doing so pleases the Americans and goes against the wishes of their own people. The vaccine of World War II seems to have worn off completely. Europe’s smart, experienced leaders are gone, replaced by pathetic figures with inflated egos. And so, the worst-case scenario remains all too possible.

More than 40 Merkava tanks were hit by Hezbollah’s anti-tank guided missiles as soon as they came into view, along side with the highly-coordinated and comprehensive artillery attacks on israeli advancements and concentrations. These events unfolded right along the border, sparking concerns about the potential consequences if the operation extended further.

    ➡️ Hezbollah has deliberately refrained from engaging in the “Media Game,” choosing not to release videos of direct clashes or destroyed enemy equipment, despite assurances that all operations were documented. Instead, they allowed Israel to undermine its own narrative. Initially, the Israelis enthusiastically shared images of raised flags as symbols of victory. However, as it became evident that these claims amounted to little more than localized maneuvers, Hezbollah’s calculated silence exposed the lack of real gains. Recognizing this, Israel eventually ceased posting such images, effectively conceding the effectiveness of Hezbollah’s strategy.

    ⭕ ⚡️ Unobtainium

    Colby essentially acknowledges the reality that, among many options, the US can choose one — and ONLY ONE — overseas war to fight.

    However, he blinds himself to the reality that in order to prosecute this “ONE WAR”, it would be necessary for the US to effectively vacate every major American military base on the planet — there would be no other way to generate a force sufficient to even attempt war against Russia, China, or Iran.

    And even though it would take at least a year to concentrate such a force in any of those putative theaters of battle, the US strategy will necessarily depend upon quick victory, which they cannot obtain.

    And they simply cannot sustain a protracted high-intensity campaign against ANY of their adversary choices.

    Defeat lurks behind every door in this game. And afterwards, the US will be effectively disarmed in terms of expeditionary warfare for at least a generation.

    This is the cold hard reality of the situation at present, and I defy Colby or any of his fellow #EmpireAtAllCosts disciples to counter the many arguments I have made to that effect.

    I will link to my latest in the reply to this post.
    🔻The #EmpireAtAllCosts cult is more desperate than ever to find a war it can fight to restore its fortunes and prestige.

    But there are #NoEasyWarsLeftToFight.
    ⭕‼️ Some have interpreted my longstanding criticisms of Elbridge Colby as a blanket condemnation of everything he says and writes. That is not the case. I agree with many of his arguments. I simply believe he holds to fatal fallacies that trump everything else, and dangerously so.
    ⭕ 💥 If the US wants to take on Russia, this is a taste of what the battlefield will be like.

    If the US wants to take on China instead, it will be an order of magnitude more massive.

    So let the US Army make you “all you can be” if that’s your thing, but you won’t be around long. |media|
    🔻 C1: The US military has no remote clue about real war. Instead, larping as a combat hardened Call of Duty troop during low intensity conflicts for decades, fighting against insurgency or disorganized, I’ll-equipped forces. Ukranian troops have significantly more actual combat experience than anyone currently serving or had served for the past fifty years. Trench warfare and all of its trimmings is by far the most brutal, most barbaric form of warfare ever devised, outside of chem or bio-warfare
    🔻 WS: I agree the Ukrainian army, until mid-2022, was the most powerful military on the European continent, ex-Russia.

    Now three subsequent iterations of that army (all increasingly NATO-armed and trained) have been destroyed. The AFU is a spent force. They should surrender en masse.
    🔻 C1: Agreed. And I should have stated that the Ukrainian military was the most seasoned combat force in a half century. But today, I don’t know how many have survived the onslaught that can come forward to make the claim of battle hardened. We are well north of 500k Ukraine KIA today. To be attacked with Russian cruise, ballistic, and hypersonic missiles and mass tube artillery barrages is simply a scenario that the US military has no concept of in recent memory
    🔻 C2: That is why it will take on Iran instead, the weaker of the three.
    I predict that, in coming days, weeks, and months the most commonly used phrase among those who believed Trump was the “anti-war candidate” and the “savior of America” will be:

    “Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?”
    [response to:
    “Trump has selected Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL), one of the most hardcore interventionists in the entire US House of Representatives, as his National Security Adviser”]

    🔻 C1: There’s a slight difference between kamala going for a nuclear war and trump getting embroiled in a conventional war…
    🔻 C1: Non sequitur.
    🔻 C2: Kamala was clearly the worse option. Has there ever been a perfect candidate?

    Kamala had Cheney and Obama. Trump had RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard for example.

    I believed her like you for a while.
    [so did our Saker! But all the lily white linens are out in the sun now, for all to really see the true shade, as with real hues of “Saruman the White”….]
    🔻 WS: I predict she’ll jump on the “war with Iran” bandwagon in a heartbeat.
    Trump is still susceptible to everything the neocons whisper in his ear — Graham, Pompeo, Rubio … all of them.

    Even so, imo, the US can’t win a war against ANY of its big adversaries
    Shelby Foote was the author of the three-volume narrative history that many (myself included) consider to be the definitive treatment of the US Civil War.
    🔻 C1: How about Sun Tzu?
    🔻 WS: Meh. “Sun Tzu” is overrated, imo. And besides, I don’t even believe someone named “Sun Tzu” wrote the things attributed to “Sun Tzu”. I think the whole thing is pseudepigrapha.
    🔻 C1: I was only joking but the AOW is real. It was originally written as a “power point deck” by Sun to pitch to the kings for the job of secretary of war. There were only 13 slides. His descendent added 23 more. Because it is a pitchbook, no one finds it interesting to read.
    🔻 WS: I own it. I’ve read it. It has a dozen or so rather insightful aphorisms.
    🔻 C1: Exactly! Kings or someone who’s capable to think like a king would definitely find it insightful 😉
    🔻 WS: For the record, I would choose William Shakespeare, for the simple reason that he would be, by far, the most capable to mercilessly ridicule the Anglo-American imbeciles who conceived and brought to pass the entire hapless disaster.
    🔻 C2: I second. Mercilessly, full of blood and savagery.
    🔻 WS: I’d also like to see the stage production of Aristophanes’ takes on the matter.
    [the Greeks would do this better than any Anglo.. the tragedy of these days is off the scale and beyond their imagination..]
    🔻 WS: Tom Stoppard would also be an excellent choice. |media 01| |media 02|
    🔻 C3: Satire from satirists. Miguel De Cervantes, Joseph Heller.
    🔻 WS: I think Cervantes is an excellent suggestion.
    [Agreed. Spaniards among modern Europeans would do it justice.. the lighthearted and too-clever jest of Anglos or the dourness and detached spirituality of Russkies is inappropriate. You need the bleak black tones of a Bourbon subject who has seen the very Devil to find the proper words for the ongoing unique Catastrophe]
    🔻 C4: George R.R. Martin or James S.A. Corey
    🔻 WS: I liked your Rudyard Kipling suggestion better.

    That said, Kipling already commented eloquently on one end of empire. I’d rather see Shakespeare or Dostoyevsky try their hand at the task.

    Or maybe even Herman Melville.
    [Yes. Alone among Anglos, the New England Puritans of the 19th Century will do too. About as tormented and wracked and attuned as medieval Spaniards — but due to the sea of their own open-eyed crimes rather than the iron boot of a demented inbred monarchy]

    🔻 Caitlin Johnstone: The Incoming Trump Administration Is Already Filling Up With War Sluts

    Donald Trump has named Republican congressman Mike Waltz as his next national security advisor, a position that was held by ultrahawk John Bolton in the last Trump administration.

    Like Bolton, Waltz is a warmongering freak. Journalist Michael Tracey has been filling up his Twitter page since the announcement with examples of Waltz’s insane hawkishness, including his support for letting Ukraine use US weapons to strike deep into Russian territory, criticizing Biden for not escalating aggressively enough in Ukraine, advocating bombing Iran, opposing the US military withdrawal from Afghanistan, and naming Iran, North Korea, China, Russia and Venezuela as “on the march” against the United States toward global conflict. The mainstream press are calling Waltz a “China hawk”, but from the look of things he’s a war-horny hawk toward all the official enemies of the United States.

    Trump has also confirmed that Republican congresswoman Elise Stefanik will be taking on the role of US ambassador to the UN, a role previously held by warmonger Nikki Haley in the last Trump administration. Again, there doesn’t seem to be much difference between the old hawk and the new one.

    Stefanik is best known for her congressional efforts to stomp out free speech on college campuses, making a lie of Trump’s lip service to the importance of First Amendment rights. She’s a hawkish swamp monster whose political career was primed in some of the most odious neoconservative think tanks in Washington, and opposes placing any limits on US military support for Israel. Earlier this year Stefanik actually flew to Israel to give a speech before the Israeli Knesset vowing to help stop the “antisemitism” of protesters against Israel’s genocidal atrocities at American universities.

    And now we’re getting reports throughout the mass media that deranged war slut Marco Rubio has been tapped as Trump’s new secretary of state. It’s really hard to imagine anyone worse for the role of Washington’s top diplomat than a warmonger who has spent his entire political career pushing for more wars, sanctions and slaughter at every opportunity.

    This should dash the hopes of Trump supporters everywhere that this time their guy really will end the wars and drain the swamp. Trump’s appointment of Iran hawk Brian Hook to help staff the State Department for the next administration and his rumored consideration of Mike Rogers for secretary of defense are likewise bad signs, as is Tucker Carlson’s claim that virulent China hawk Elbridge Colby is likely to play a role in the administration.

    Trump’s anti-interventionist supporters loudly applauded the other day when he unexpectedly announced that Mike Pompeo and Nikki Haley would not be playing a role in the next administration. In response to the announcement, libertarian comedian and podcaster Dave Smith said on Twitter that stopping Pompeo was not enough and that “we need maximum pressure to keep all neocons and war hawks out of the Trump administration.” In response to Smith’s post, Donald Trump Jr tweeted, “Agreed!!! I’m on it.”

    When I saw this, I tweeted the following:

    “Ignore their words and watch their actions. Been saying it for years, and I’m going to keep on saying it. Ignore their words, watch their actions. Talk, as they say, is cheap.”

    Their actions are telling us a lot more than their words right now.
    🔻 WS: Who would have guessed? 😏

    ⭕ A summary of resistance activities for 11/11/2024. Hezbollah claimed 22 attacks today, plus 11 from the other resistance factions, for a total of 33.

    Hezbollah launched an enormous rocket attack today, with hundreds of rockets targeting Haifa, Kiryat Kam and Akka. Iron dome was rapidly overwhelmed, video evidence confirms dozens of hits and causalities. It is unknown if anything important was hit, but several fires broke out in Haifa. It is worth pointing out that attacks marked as rocket barrages could be anywhere from 1 to hundreds of rockets, and could potentially involve dozens of launchers.

    Today was a busy day in Gaza. There were a total of three ambushes on enemy armor, two Merkavas (a Mk4 and Mk3, indicating that the IOF is running low on armor) and a Namer APC. The vehicles were hit and there were causalities.

    One thing that we should all remember when it comes to armor is that tanks and APCs can be “knocked out” many times, then recovered, repaired and returned to service. A tank that is hit does not necessarily mean destroyed. This is not uncommon at all for units serving in combat, where a huge variety of hazards ranging from barbed wire in their tracks to enemy action can knock them out. Unless something either detonates their ammo or just blows them to pieces (and this would take a big hit), the tank can generally be repaired, and will be. The resistance, owing to their nature as guerrilla fighters, do not stick around long enough to prevent recovery. So, when the resistance knocks out a tank, it will almost always be recovered eventually.

    It seems that the IOF finally captured the heights overlooking Kfarkela (Kila), Lebanon, as IOF infantry was targeted there today by a Hezbollah missile. The IOF has been fighting in this area since the beginning, and was constantly ambushed there. Yesterday, they were ambushed and shelled three times on the outskirts of the city, likely by Hezbollah soldiers on the hills. Hezbollah targeted two armored vehicles on the hill several hours apart, indicating that at least one attack was repelled.

    The Iraqi resistance launched at least 6 drones at the Zionists today, although as usual they said nothing about what was targeted and if it was hit. This amounts to 43 attacks in 11 days, although we have very little information about the results.

    The Yemeni armed forces launched a ballistic missile at the IOF Nahal Sorek military base, about half way between Jaffa (Tel Aviv) and Al-Quds (Jerusalem.) The Zionists claim an interception, however the missile started a fire in the area. It is important to remember that even when they are shot down, missiles have to fall somewhere, and it is possible for an intercepted missile to still cause considerable damage.

    All in all, it was a busy and productive day for the resistance!

    “It happened when martyr Ahmad Qasir broke into the Israeli occupation’s military commander’s headquarters in the city of Tyre with his car full of explosives, and destroyed the building completely, forcing the enemy himself to admit to the killing of more than 100 soldiers and commanders, including high-ranking generals in the army and intelligence system; until now the clips are aired of [Ariel] Sharon when he stood humiliated against this grand defeat his army suffered, caused by one young man: his name was Ahmad Qasir”

    – Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah… Who later designated this day as Day of the Martyr, and crowned martyr Qasir with the title “Prince of Martyrs”

    So basically, the whole North, the whole Gaza envelope, and now half a million from Haifa are all in the Ghosh Dan (Tel Aviv) District

    How many millions left “Israel” completely? We can only imagine…
