Good Lord, what part of LA ain’t unsurvivable? Like Gaza, its land, air AND sea are all toxic

In my latest article, published this morning, I wrote about the impossible situation facing both the Lebanese government and Hezbollah, and how limited their options currently are in responding to Israel’s violations.https://t.co/gyqx0gpAqe

💠 @ejmalrai:
⭕ Israel bombed the suburb of Beirut. This is the beginning of a new rule of engagement, and the target assassination is now open even in the capital
⭕ If Hezbollah doesn’t warn Israel and prepare for a precise retaliation, then Israel will assassinate a Hezbollah operative or commander daily. Hezbollah is confronted with a new reality.
Israel claims it has targeted commander Sayyed Haytham (Aka Abu Ali) Tabatabai, but no independent confirmation is available yet.
⭕ Israel said it has coordinated with the US to bomb Beirut. Sayyed Tabatabai was a target since his deployment in Syria and escaped several assassination attempts in the past years.
⭕ Hezbollah’s top commander, who led the 66 days of war against Israel, Sayyed Tabatabai, was on the Saudi Arabia priority list of target-assassination for his role in Yemen with Ansar Allah.
⭕ Israel launched two missiles against two flats in the suburb of Beirut, Lebanon, to assassinate a high-value Hezbollah target unlawfully. This means the number of victims is expected to increase.
⭕ For Hezbollah, responding will lead to a wave of devastating raids, similar to Gaza, with thousands of displaced Shia. Not responding will increase Israel’s appetite for daily assassinations in Beirut and elsewhere.
⭕ It is implausible for Hezbollah to respond to Israel’s unlawful target assassination that killed at least four people and wounded over a dozen.
⭕ When a prime minister is an ICC fugitive accused of war crimes by the highest international criminal court with jurisdiction over individuals accused of genocide and war crimes, it reflects on the government he leads and on the electorate that sustains him. Under international law, anyone who assists, shelters or actively supports an individual wanted for such crimes is considered complicit.
⭕ Hezbollah should consider the fact that it is dealing with a world-wanted war criminal.
[they are doomed like most arabs anyway. Why not fight on their legs like Hamas? They will be holocausted come what may. That is the bitter role of all arabs in the End Times. Without exception]
⭕ Israel killed five people and wounded 28, according to the Lebanese health Ministry, when it fired its missiles against a residential building in the suburb of Beirut, Lebanon, to target and assassinate a Hezbollah commander unlawfully.
[it is getting tiresome the listing of legality and norms when dealing with Pax Barbaria]

Zionists just bombed Beirut’s southern suburbs.
No “evacuation order”.

The target was a very senior level Hezbollah military commander, and the inflicted toll so far is 30 civilians
🔻 FirstbloodH: Once again America promised the lebanese state no further escalation during the pope visit and coordinated with Israel this tetrorist attack.

This may be unrepresentative, like Larch’s chinese, and a fastfood collapse likely preceding Bubba-lover, and concerns a definite shithole city, but it does track with collapse of regular restaurants right now on other channels.

Exactly right. There is no end until Kiev, everything right of the Dnieper and all of Odessa are flying red white and blue flags.

🔻 Big Tech Law: The US is setting the stage for the Great European War in Feb 2026 by trying not to give Putin any ground to attack US territories. The 28 point peace plan is just a smokescreen to entice Putin to slow down Russia’s advance in Ukraine before Europe is sufficiently ready for war.
🔻 WS: Europe could not be prepared to go to war against Russia in 2036, let alone 2026.

Europe is an effectively demilitarized, largely deindustrialized, and economically eviscerated mirage of evaporated power.
🔻 Warwick Powell | 鲍韶山: Apropos 👉🏼 |link|
The Russians have provided comments on the U.S. 28-point “peace plan”. How are we to interpret this?

One way is to recall Chris Matthews’ Hardball (by the way, that’s the paperback title; the original hardback was indeed called Hardball: How Politics Is Played, Told by One Who Knows the Game) when analysing Putin’s response peace proposal.

Putin’s approach is classic Matthews: “Agree with your opponent quickly… on the big picture” while you strangle the specifics to death. In the book he calls variations of this “hug your enemies close,” “always concede on principle, fight on detail,” or simply “say yes and mean no.” Lyndon Johnson, Tip O’Neill, and Reagan all used it routinely.

Putin’s public and quasi-public reactions to the American plan fit this playbook almost perfectly:

1. The warm headline statement: Kremlin spokesmen and Putin himself (in the November 13–17 window) repeatedly said things like:
   • “The American proposals contain points that could form the basis for further discussion.”
   • “Russia has always been open to serious negotiations.”
   • “We note the constructive approach of the new U.S. administration.”
2. That is the “yes in principle” part. It sounds conciliatory, buys a modicum of goodwill in Western press commentary, and keeps the global south in place (Russia appears reasonable), and boxes the Trump team into believing Moscow is open to engagement.
3. The fine print: Almost simultaneously, Russian officials (Lavrov, Peskov, Medvedev and Putin in off-the-record leaks) began layering on conditions that are designed to be unacceptable or endlessly negotiable:
   • Ukraine must begin immediate withdrawal from the four annexed regions (including areas Kyiv still holds).
   • Any ceasefire must be preceded by recognition of “new territorial realities” (i.e., Russian annexation).
   • NATO must give written guarantees of permanent Ukrainian non-accession before talks even start.
   • Lifting of all Western sanctions as a precondition.
   • Demilitarisation zones that are 100–300km deep inside current Ukrainian-controlled territory, etc.
4. These are not opening bids; they are poison pills. They turn the U.S. plan from a 30-day ceasefire leading to broader talks into a demand for immediate surrender.
5. The procedural kill: Moscow also insisted that any real negotiations must take place in a format that includes China, India, Brazil, etc. (i.e., dilute Western leverage) or, alternatively, revert to the long-dead Istanbul format from March 2022 that Russia already walked away from. This is pure delay-and-defer.

So yes, Putin is executing a nearly textbook Hardball maneuver: embrace the proposal rhetorically (“it lays foundations…”) while eviscerating it operationally. It keeps the Trump administration hopeful that a deal is still possible, costs Russia nothing in the short term, and buys time for the winter campaign or for European resolve to crack further.

Matthews would recognise the move instantly and probably grin: “That’s how you play the game, kid.”

The so-called peace plan is symptomatic of a western power trying to find a way to retreat gracefully; to lose without humiliation. I will provide more details on this in the near future.
[beautiful, as our Don would say! This is how to sweet-talk a 5,000-year-old Vampire whilst vivisecting the bastard]
🔻 Tom Perera: Yup. Take Odessa at least before any kind of “peace negotiations” take place. Putin is a wise man. He knows how to deal with the lying USA.
🔻 JOHN SMALL: Yes indeed.
Putin is gaslighting the folks in Warshington Brussels and London, who are so lacking in self-knowledge they believe themselves superior to him.
My gast is flabbered.
🔻 kingaagnieszka5: Once Russia regains Odessa, there might be talks of peace! For betraying Russia, it cannot leave Ukraine with access to the sea, which is crucial for the supply of armaments! For this purpose, they recaptured Crimea, where the UK wanted to station its navy!

The 1500 and 3000Kg FABs are more for special targets like bridges, bringing down very large tough buildings or heavy bunkers

The thermobaric ODABs are best vs troop & vehicle concentrations, 1500Kg one is like a mini nuke
Crack buildings open first, then cook ’em with an ODAB

🔻 Irony Man: Russia didn’t out-innovate anyone; it out-budgeted them. Their doctrine treats war like accounting: why fire a $1.5M missile when a $20k kit on a soviet bomb erases the exact coordinates?
In a long battle, the side that spends pennies to destroy dollars eventually dictates the pace
🔻 WS: I love the steampunkish aesthetic.

And 4 FAB-250s or FAB-500s, with ~5m CEP, launched from ~50km away … well, that’s one badass bomb salvo for clearing a fortified apartment building or a trench line with strongpoints.
🔻 A.J Observes: Especially when you consider the unbelievable reserves they had of Soviet era FAB dumb bombs. They found a new use for weapons that couldn’t be used anywhere with AD coverage
🔻 Irony Man: Soviet design philosophy never chased elegance, only output. The genius wasn’t perfect machines, it was endless machines.
While others build boutique systems, Russia still wins wars with rugged mass production and battlefield practicality. Same doctrine, new century.
🔻 silverbladeTE: Yup! Even a 250Kg bomb will wreck almost anything, 4 definitely will & more = less issue if 1 fails
A man may survive the blast, but be buried alive or suffer internal or brain injuries
They can be launched outside most AA range
New jet powered ones have 200 or even 400Km range!

⭕ 🛩️ Saab offers Qatar and Saudi Arabia GlobalEye long-range radar detection aircraft

• 📝 The Swedish defense company Saab has presented an official proposal to supply multi-role surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft GlobalEye to Qatar and Saudi Arabia. The aircraft is equipped with a radar system for air and maritime space control and is designed for early warning and threat monitoring.
• 📊 Negotiations are taking place against the backdrop of expanding military programs in the Persian Gulf countries and growing interest in aerial surveillance means. For Saab, this is a step towards strengthening its position in the region, where defense system modernization programs are actively developing.
• 🌐 Potential contracts strengthen the technological link between Europe and the Gulf states. If the project is implemented, Qatar and Saudi Arabia will receive new tools for controlling air and maritime space, which will change the balance of surveillance capabilities in the region.

• Araghchi replied and told Witkoff: “Everyone negotiates first and then reaches an agreement. You’re asking me to agree first and then come negotiate? That’s not negotiation, that’s dictation.”
• Aragchi also says this message channel was also open during the war and was the only communication channel.

💠 @ejmalrai:
⭕ Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – an ICC fugitive for war crimes – always claimed that Israel wages wars “by itself without any help” (from the US et al.). He received not only $31-$33 billions in two years so he can attack multiple countries but now he is confessing:
“Regarding the F-35, I had a long conversation with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who reiterated his commitment that the United States will continue to preserve Israel’s qualitative military edge in everything related to supplying weapons and military systems to countries in the Middle East.”

Basically, he is aware that the US legislation will prevent Saudi Arabia from buying the most sophisticated F-35 warplanes, directly contradicting President Donald Trump.
⭕ Zahran Mamdani, speaking inside Donald Trumps White House residence, said: “I have spoken about the Israeli government committing genocide and about our government funding it.”

This is politically explosive for several reasons:

1. Mamdani used the word genocide on camera in front of a sitting US president. Almost no elected official in the United States is willing to use that term in front of the president, especially one who openly supports Israel and frames criticism of Israel as extremism. Mamdani said the one word that Washington avoids because it carries legal consequences and moral force.
2. He did it inside the White House
   Saying it outside, on social media, or at a rally is one thing. Saying it inside the building that symbolises American state power, on video, while the president is present, transforms it into a direct confrontation with the official US position.
3. It puts Trump in an uncomfortable position
   Trump thrives on dominance, control, and spectacle. Mamdani introduced a narrative Trump cannot easily silence or ridicule without appearing to attack a democratically elected representative speaking about mass civilian death. The optics are terrible for Trump and unprecedented in US politics.
4. It breaks a taboo
   American officials rarely accuse Israel of genocide, and certainly not in front of a president. The political rule has always been: you criticise quietly, carefully, with coded language. Mamdani broke that unwritten code entirely.
5. It signals a major shift in US political culture
   A member of US state government openly confronting a sitting president face to face about US complicity is a line that was unthinkable a few years ago. It shows that the political shield around Israel is cracking at the highest symbolic levels.
   [I’m not sure it is as significant as he thinks… it buys time, like “Recognizing the Palestinian state”….]

⭕ Donald Trump said Ukraine “has lost 25,000 soldiers last month” and has given president Volodymyr Zelenskyy until mid next week an ultimatum to accept a peace deal.
⭕ The Lebanese President and Prime Minister have no power to ask Israel to withdraw, have no power to impose peace or go to war (only Israel decides) and have no power to disarm Hezbollah. It has only the power to claim all the above with a very robust loud voice, nothing else.
⭕ Israel killed 23 Palestinians and destroyed 4 houses in Gaza without the approval of the joint centre. benjamin netanyahu, an ICC fugitive for war crimes, is itching to mirror the rule of engagement he has imposed on Lebanon and apply it on the Strip.
⭕ Typical:

benjamin netanyahu – a war criminal and an ICC fugitive – said “Hamas violated the ceasefire” so we bombed and attacked five of its leaders in Gaza.

⭕ 🚨 ‘Orphaned’ Europe faces a choice: Militarization or national interests

As the Ukrainian project fails, Europe faces a choice: self-destruction through militarization or rebirth on national foundations, explains Alexander Yakovenko, deputy director of Rossiya Segodnya, Sputnik’s parent company.

Other points he puts forward:

• The Ukrainian conflict has exposed European elites, leaving them politically and morally tied to a failing strategy as they prepare for a potential direct war with Russia
• Europe is betting on prolonging the conflict for three more years to buy time for preparation, with Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius suggesting 2028/2029 as a possible timeline
• European elites suppress free speech and dissent to maintain power, as existing systems cannot provide answers to migration and economic crises
• Leading European economies, including Germany and the UK, remain in recession, with 40% of French pension payments now coming from borrowed funds
• What’s driving the current crisis in Europe?
• The Ukrainian conflict was a US plot against Europe aimed at preventing a “Russia-Europe union” and containing both Russia and Germany as the EU powerhouse
• Europe faces an identity conflict between globalist elites (10%) and the majority rooted in traditional values, with supranational Brussels bureaucracy causing a democratic accountability crisis
• Germany’s future is uncertain with rising AfD and Reichsburger movements, while militarization is shattering the post-war welfare state model
• Continental Europe becomes “geopolitically orphaned” as Anglo-Saxon nations (the US, the UK, Canada, and Ireland) consolidate into a separate bloc
• Thus, the European Union, which was created as an anti-Russian project, has outlived its usefulness and is unable to fit into the new geopolitical context, the author concludes.

🔻 WS: To restate what I have suggested previously, I am convinced Dmitriev is not playing the role most people believe he is.
🔻 Irony Man: If this document is real, then it’s not a peace plan, it is a fantasy novel.
No side that’s winning on the ground signs away gains for promises written in fog. The war ends when reality sets the terms, not when wish lists circulate in Telegram chats
🔻 WS: 📜 Dictating Terms
🔻 Irony Man: Your read on the decoy layer of diplomacy tracks with reality, the real moves are always off ledger, not in the press releases
🔻 Simone Klaczynski: Lmao 🤣. Russians are going for Odessa, cutting off bandera state and Anglo Saxons from the black sea. If it’s not done, that’s a huge mistake with lasting generational consequences
🔻 Chris Close: Actually, given the rise in value in Russia’s gold holdings, they are effectively:

1.) Buying the territory they conquered
2.) Getting the NATO expansion curtailment they want.
3.) All sanctions removed.
4.) Resolution with Europe.
5.) Effectively integrated (as commodities seller) back into the EU which needs their energy.

This might work.

If not what specifically do you believe Russia might want Will?
🔻 WS: They want exactly what they have said they want — repeatedly and unvaryingly: the Donbass, Novorossiya, and the rollback of NATO military presence to its pre-1997 borders.

The current US proposal is tantamount to a NATO/Russia partition of Ukraine.
📜 In for A Pound
🔻 Chris Close: Let’s watch

Wars of attrition go on forever. Until one side collapses.

Time is on Russia’s side.
🔻 WS: Once the last of the AFU forces are driven out of their massive complex of fortifications in the Donbass, they will be rolled up rapidly.

There is effectively nothing left in the US/NATO arsenals, nor the Ukraine pool of manpower, with which to reconstitute a new army.
🔻 Chris Close: Curious to see the press/populace reaction in the EU given the non-stop, “Russia is losing and on the verge of collapse” propaganda.
🔻 WS: Deep delusions die hard. But this much is certain: there is absolutely no conceivable “coalition of the willing” in Europe that could undertake a military confrontation with Russia — and for as stupid as they are in most respects, the Pentagon MUST understand they can’t, either.
🔻 DJSmith: The US will never remove sanctions from anyone – let alone Russia.

The US Treasury has an sanctions bureau employing thousands, whose only job is to impose sanctions every day.
🔻 cognitivedissonanceeverywhere: Yet again, they are trying to inch the Russians towards a ceasefire and ‘freeze’ which they desperately need to avoid everyone seeing them as defeated while dressing it up as ‘concessions’, none of which mean anything and will be reneged on almost immediately.
🔻 四维: Pay billions in reparations just to become the caddy of the G7. Odessa is worth a lot more.
🔻 TheCakeisaLie: I agree. The US is in no position to dictate terms to the Russians.
🔻 🐝🌼𝕋𝘳ű𝑡Һ𝐒𝑒𝑒ⲕ𝑒𝘳🌼🐝: Definitely sucked out of finger hoax. NO ONE KNOWS the real proposal yet.

⭕ 🧵 The Dmitriev Decoy

I have previously expressed my thoughts on Kirill Dmitriev’s role in these ongoing “negotiations” between Russia and the US. I will repost two of them here:

“I believe Dmitriev is playing a purposefully calculated role. The things he says are intended to beguile the fools in Washington and London with dreams of reprising the 1990s era of plunder and pillage.

Meanwhile, Russian military and strategic objectives continue unabated.”

and

“I do not dispute that Witkoff and Dmitriev are having amiable chats on these questions.

What I DO dispute is that Witkoff and Dmitriev are meaningful actors in this drama.

In my view, BOTH are marginal players — often bordering on the clownish. They are rhetorical tools.”
🔻 Jeff Wells: But to what end? The fools seem beguiled enough on their own without needing Dmitriev to lead them on. I’d like to think he’s playing a clever game but he strikes me as someone who is exactly what he appears to be.
🔻 WS: Keep stringing the Americans along with hopes of some great deal Trump can spin into a triumphant victory. Meanwhile, continue to pursue every objective of the Special Military Operation.

At least this is my working theory as to why and how Putin is using Dmitriev in this game.
