    🔻 Big if True: I think China doesn’t want trouble with Japan but at thr same time really welcomes trouble with Japan.
    🔻 cardano: are they going to do something, or just talk for few decades like they do with taiwan.
    🔻 WS: The Chinese aim to bloodlessly reassimilate Taiwan — to essentially have Taiwan willingly realign with Mainland China.

    As for Japan, China would crush them if war broke out, and I don’t believe for a moment the Americans would go to war with China to defend Japan.
    🔻 SK: They have aspirations to be the new sheriff.. but they won’t be….
    🔻 WS: They already are.


    [it famously did in Afghan – on a hospital around which it loitered for an hour… come to think of it, this was a rehearsal for Gaza, and by the same team]
    🔻 cognitivedissonanceeverywhere: The modern battlefield is chock full of cheap drones and missile defence systems of all kinds that will fatally damage any aircraft loitering around, no matter how heavily armoured. They actually want to replace this with the F-35.
    🔻 Just John: Dunno about that take.
    Russians seem to be having no issues running fab strokes with jets.

    I just think it’s the modern mindset unable to cope with conventional warfare losses.
    10% was cost of doing business and 40% was sometimes justifiable
    🔻 WS: Not all “jets” are created equal. And there is no comparison between the Russian Su-34 and the American A-10. And the US currently has nothing in its inventory to compare with the Russian FABs. JDAMs were an embarrassing failure in Ukraine, and were withdrawn from service there.
    🔻 John: Interested in why FABs are a genuine game changer on the battle field, while JDAMs failed.
    🔻 WS: Two main reasons:

    1) They were easily defeated by Russian electronic countermeasures, or otherwise shot down.

    2) Ukraine has no air force left to launch them even if they could penetrate Russian defenses.
    🔻 Bob Jan: 26 years ago a couple of them were shot down in Kosovo by more or less inept Serbian air defense. I imagine today it would be like shooting fish in a barrel if contested by competent air defense.
    🔻 MAKE LOVE AND NOT WAR: The A-10 (flying pig) was born with the mission of hunting and destroying tanks due to the numerical superiority of the former Soviet Union (back then, it could have run over Europe). The world has changed, but the aircraft has not.


    🔻 WS: The A-10 is a relic of a bygone era — one where the opponent had negligible firepower.

    #NoEasyWarsLeftToFight
    🔻 Chuck P. Ritter: These takes are always by people who have never been to combat and used the A-10 platform while doing so. Always entertaining to read.
    🔻 WS: No Americans at any level of the US military, nor any American warplanes in the current inventory have EVER experienced high-intensity combat such as has been seen in Ukraine since 2022.
    🔻 Cager: No country has ever received the full 100% might of the U.S military though. Not Iraq, not Afghanista, not Syria, not ISIS. So there’s no way to accurately compare this at all. Ukraine doesn’t even really run regular SEAD missions, which would be a thing by the USAF
    🔻 WS: This is the most common cope I hear. It is, of course, meaningless, since the “full power” of the US military could not be concentrated without emptying every single US base on the planet.

    The US could not win and will not fight a war against Russia, China, or even Iran.
    🔻 WS: As I have frequently said, if given a choice between two A-10s and one Su-25, I’d take the Su-25 every time, and twice on Sunday.

    Yeah, the Russians probably lost a couple dozen of them over Ukraine, most to old Soviet SAMs and MANPADs. But they’re superior to the A-10.
    🔻 Tom: The only thing the Su-25 has going for it over the A-10 is that it’s a bit faster and smaller. It’s marginally better in contested airspace as a result of that.

    Neither one of them is going to survive if they climb above a certain altitude on that battlefield though.
    🔻 WS: The Su-25 is 50% faster than the A-10, with 2x the combat range.
    🔻 Allen Graetz: The Russians basically aren’t operating tanks, Why would you be operating a tank-killer when there are no tanks to kill?
    🔻 WS: War has changed dramatically in the past few years, and few Americans — both in and out of the Pentagon — have figured that out yet.
    🔻 Allen Graetz: Is that shift in fighting going to cause them to forget that a plane created 50 years to tear up Soviet armor isn’t of much use if there’s no armor?
    🔻 WS: The only reason there are still operational A-10s is to keep $$$ rolling into the local economies around the US bases where they pretend to stand ready to “kick ass and take names”. It’s a social welfare program.
    [and to shoot up underarmed brownies “over there” if called up for (murder) duty]

    🔻 Allen Graetz: You do realize that at this point most A-10s have been retired?
    🔻 WS: As of the end of 2024, there were still over 200 of them listed as operational for USAF, Reserves, and ANG.

    They are scheduled to be fully retired by about 2030.
    🔻 TopoTito’s: But it would be very effective against the cartels hiding in the mountains. Keep it for that role.
    🔻 WS: You mean the ones who now possess hundreds of MANPADs?
    🔻 TopoTito’s: They don’t.
    🔻 WS: You are misinformed. They have ATGMs, too.
    [it really is End of the Line in many ways. Every one can shoot back.. and even the messianic madmen have finite numbers being attrited en toto to Bandera & Sheol]


    🔻 Martin Antkowiak: NATO was created by the British and it’s the dominance of the British Empire which is about to finish.
    🔻 Andrea Catalano: Translated: “the US wants to drag Germany/Europe into a fullblown war with Russia”.
    🔻 Harrius Haller: Ah ah, I saw that news today and commented to a friend: “un altro passo verso la profezia di Schryver”
    🔻 EyeballAppearing: US wants out of NATO so don’t have to defend the EU in Russia/EU war

    Now CIA EU leaders can take the EU to war with Russia as Ukraine CIA leaders did

    Thus US sells proprietary weapons to NATO (-US) are dependent upon via lend-lease, continue 2 try to bankrupt Russia plus now EU
    🔻 WS: This is nonsense.

    There will be no Russia / EU war. The EU literally has no means to fight such a war, nor could the US supply them with such means at any price.
    🔻 EyeballAppearing: Will see in next 5 years
    Building new factories come online bout that date
    Ukraine was always going to lose but still US went ahead with war as crippling Ukraine was part of the plan as crippling Russia
    If US economy implodes before 5 years, then no as preoccupied domestically.
    🔻 Low Voltage 🇺🇲: Will they have the energy in five years to power these factories? Will the workforce have the training and expertise to operate them? Will China and Russia sell them the necessary raw materials and machinery?
    🔻 EyeballAppearing: IMO US couldn’t care less
    Just US can milk EU of assets, resources, and privatize state infrastructure via loans and lend lease so banks and US corporations can profit in the build up and after
    Same as they have done Ukraine
    [will US be around in current configuration?? So many grandiose plans by those whose bodies are starting to cool..]
    🔻 Ir_29: Nato will “fall” apart, then US will orchestrate Eastern block countries one by one into the same proxy-scheme as they did with UA
    🔻 WS: What “eastern bloc” countries do you imagine will play proxy to a new US scheme to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia?

    Moldova? Azerbaijan? The Baltic Chihuahuas? 🤦‍♂️

    I don’t believe you’re thinking this through.
    [even if they had the hardware and ammo, after all that was incinerated in 404, their men now uniformly suffer from secondary spontaneous cryptorchidism after watching what was done to the doomed UkroNazis]
    🔻 M Moniruzzaman Khan: This move is to pivot to China.
    🔻 WS: Out of the frying pan and into the fire?

    There is no “pivot to China”. It’s a fantasy. The evaporating empire will be driven out of the western Pacific.

    sorry for deluge of Will. Have been sick and focused on essentials and effortless YT. Am catching up


    🔻 AL-fira 🇨🇳: The original version is a fast song. |media|
    [Noooo. Typical Yanqui cookie-cutter crap poisoned it]


    🔻 Hank Rearden: Ironically enough it was designed by a German (Edgar Schmued) as well.
    🔻 Neil Rollinson: And British capabilities as well. Doubt they are capable of producing a Rolls-Royce Merlin equivalent today.
    🔻 CrocodileChuck: How many ppl in the US can even weld?

    I’m talking MIG, not TIG!
    🔻 Thingsneedtochange: The U.S. also produced 88,000 tanks, 2,020 Navy warships, (including 29 full sized aircraft carriers) and 2,700 Liberty ships (freighters).

    The days of that happening again are gone.
    🔻 Gregory: Trump says Americans can’t even make batteries anymore. ‘It’s difficult to make batteries’ he says while championing Korean foreign workers.
    🔻 Cool: My Tesla can drive itself autonomously thousands of miles for a few dollars worth of electricity while requiring zero maintenance – and it was entirely designed and built in the USA.
    [hahahahha. The last argument of the defeated Narcissist: we got Bling-Bling, Baby! iPhone XYZ, botox in our butts and up the wazoo, etc etc. WE BE DA GARDEN YE DEPLORABLES. ‘Look on our works, ye Mighty, and despair!’]
    🔻 WS: Granting, for the sake of argument, that your point is meaningful, can a Tesla defeat a hypersonic anti-ship missile? Because, for better or worse, that is an example of the kinds of questions that will matter most in coming months and years.
    🔻 RichardSharpe: Wasn’t the Allison engine marginally better than the Rolls Royce engine?

    On an interesting historical note, a batch of P-51s was manufactured in Australia. A first batch was shipped there but they made one or more batches locally (parts likely shipped there.)

    ☝️ LOL. I can’t embed this as Twitter labled it as “showing sensitive content.” Yeah, correct for once. Even photos of shiny bullion has become Toxic to the Ponzi-men


    🔻 Pandem(on)ical Order of Good Cheer: Insofar as we can assume that HiMARS, Patriot (& other AD & missile) platforms are operated by US (& other NATO) personnel, how many highly trained US technicians does one imagine have been killed by timid [sic] Russia since the start of the SMO?
    🔻 WS: A few hundred for sure.
    🔻 Pandem(on)ical Order of Good Cheer: Setting aside that each death is significant to someone, the deaths of hundreds of highly trained US AD/missile technicians must represent a non-trivial proportion of US capability, in exactly the skill/technical categories that the US (and other militaries) struggle to recruit.
    🔻 Brian: Yep not that many is probably why no salvos. If the units fired salvos, ammo runs out quick then what do they do to look busy
    [play YMCA?]

    🔻 Para: do you think “start a war to raise approval ratings” is even still a thing in 2025?

    isn’t that essentially what biden tried with ukraine?
    🔻 WS: It doesn’t matter what I think. All that matters is what the desperate people in the halls of power think, and what folly they are willing to commit in a futile bid to remain in the halls of power.
    🔻 Para: painfully true judging by the way they’ve handled russia diplomacy this year
    🔻 Gary L: There has been no visible Western diplomacy with Russia, if that’s what you mean.
    🔻 Para: yup. just petty theatrics for the neocon crowd.
    🔻 Дневник страданий и скорбей (☀️: ♋️; ⤴️: ♍️): I am once again completely and utterly baffled that people voted for this moron.
    🔻 Andrzej Roslanowski: What about this theory:
    Venezuela and the new Epstein dump are pre-loaded distractions.
    When Ukraine finally collapses (and it will be orders of magnitude worse than the Afghanistan withdrawal), the administration will truly detonate both scandals at once to drown out the fallout. The developments in both directions may hint that intelligence agencies expect total collapse of UA really soon. 🧐🤔
    🔻 Cris: A brick of words…

    Oh my eyes!
    🔻 galileo: Did anyone bother to count the number of lies in that statement?


    🔻 cognitivedissonanceeverywhere: This I believe this is the biggest threat to Putin’s presidency. Russia must solve the security problem of that territory forever. All other considerations need to be secondary.
    🔻 eletale: Russia has decisively won every battle in 3 years against the weight of NATO and the US. This is an outstanding victory, and now Russia is the most effective land army in the world.
    🔻 Proteus Steinmetz: Can you not see the absolute slog this is for the Russians?

    “The Ukrainians are collapsing” has been going on for literally years at this point, enough.

    The Ukies will only collapse once the U.S. withdraws all support & not before then. A negotiated settlement is best for both.
    🔻 WS: This is an expression of the fallacies and delusions of #TheImaginaryWar.

    “Man’s most valuable trait is a judicious sense of what not to believe.” ― Euripides


    🔻 WS: 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.
    🔻 Arnaud Bertrand: That may be the case, not questioning what you’re saying. My point is really about what this all means about Europe’s position, or rather lack of it.

    🔻 WS: I’ve seen these.

    What I’m talking about is sparrow-sized short-range AI-guided units that can be packed into little VLS-type cell-groups on tanks, or shot from grenade-launcher-type weapons by infantry — carried in substantial quantities.

    Anyway, it’s just a thought …
    🔻 Irony Man: First drones to stop the drones that stop the drones.
    At this rate war becomes two swarms arguing over who gets airspace
    🔻 tjandthebear: Ever watch small race drones? They could chase down anything and kill via simple high-speed impact.

    And those Chinese display swarms? Imagine thousands of drones just hanging in the air & attacking intruder drones like angry bees
    🔻 Stable M: How much smaller?
    🔻 WS: Like a few grams of explosive warhead in a drone the size of a sparrow, with a range of maybe 200 – 300 meters.


    🔻 Rich Goldman: We can only hope that people are finally waking up to the truth about what this profoundly mediocre and cruel president has done in office. His lies are unending, as are the deficiencies in his character. It’s all going to unravel soon
    🔻 ShortSale: The West is being engineered to fail. There’s no runway of debt expansion left after this
    🔻 Truth Matters: Lucifer has a new rival. Trump is a malignant narcissist and the worst president in the history of this great nation. I can’t believe a man who’s complicit in the genocide of innocent children would utter the word “peace.”
    🔻 Michael Rauls: It seems like he is literally going mad.
    I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt but this isn’t looking good.
    🔻 Alex Santic: His downfall may very well come as you suggest. However, I think it will not be in Palestine. In the forty years that I have followed this conflict from the anti-Zionist side, it was only relatively recently that I lost most of my hope for the Palestinians. They will be “exiled” much like the Jews of 2000 years ago.

    It has been amply proven over the decades that the Jewish State and Revisionist Zionism are deeply conjoined twins. Perhaps there was hope of a separation, but it has faded with age. Unfortunately, the acquisition of nuclear weapons by Israel last century — a geopolitical disaster — assures their survival.
    🔻 WS: Nor did I intend to suggest his downfall will come in “Palestine”.

    That is not where sufficient firepower is found to severely damage both US military hardware and prestige.

    Iran, Russia, and China are a different story.

    [exactly. It’s like throwing out periodic swill to the proles – attend a NASCAR track on the Beast mobile, a Football game with a flyover on Orange Force One, a US Open Tennis event, etc etc. Unbelievable gaslighting, even as the euthanasia takes hold]


    [click for thread … no surprises]


    🔻 WS: The Ukrainians are, by and large, a subset of the Russian world. I suspect that reality will reassert itself.
    🔻 Chris: I wonder after this if the Ukrainian survivors will end up hating the Western world.
    [you think?! The Karma under way, every which way, from every quadrant on Earth]
    🔻 WS: They have been betrayed and sacrificed by the US/NATO. Sooner or later, they will figure that out.
    🔻 Chris: They will join the ranks of Southern Vietnam army, and a lot of other proxies.

    One interesting question is if this is going to have any consequences for the US as a whole.
    🔻 cognitivedissonanceeverywhere: The reality is this war was lost and the original AFU gone by the end of 2022. To send a military that has lost on a series of utterly disastrous offensives they are not capable of carrying out results in horrific losses and casualties, and we will find that out.
    🔻 kosta tomic: What a tragedy, and a travesty absolutely criminal those that provoked this war need to be sought out and prosecuted


    [Solid thread. well, except for ritual German suicide none could foresee, rest was spot on. A second exception may be severing Russian oil deliveries to China/Turkey/Africa, which would complete the job. But that is for Last Phase of cutting ALL sea trade and supply chains and ushering in Dark Winters for All]

    [click on leading tweet for interesting thread.

Who will tell this to the MAGA cult fools cheering their own Gaza-like extermination program underway?]


    [and they lack the men and ammo under them to hold the Ukraine.. and the defensive lines and the air defense. And even the crappy French hardware would take years to arrive. Only 300 rafales built (ever?!), 25/year (13 in 2023), with a backlog of 233, including for domestic French use. And do they have the rare earths???? IOW, this is pure 100% hasbara as usual]

    🔻 Seeji Sundarakshan: All based on the bet on the humongous success of OpenAI – where customers need to sign up indefinitely including agreeing to pay profit share as well.

    Why would corporates & other customers go for expensive OpenAI when there are free tools that are as good as OpenAI available?!


    🔻 MASCUDON: The second picture should be a nude John McCain.


    🔻 Martin L. Zinn: It’s tragic that it has come to this.
    Trump can openly assemble a naval terror force to carry out a war crime, yet not a single word of condemnation is heard.
    Where is the UN Secretary-General? Where is the Security Council resolution denouncing this? And why are the press going along with it?
    🔻 Feroz 🇺🇸 ☭: Thank you, sir. I hope you will cover this conflict as it really helps with perspective. There are way too many Hegseth types on Twitter that distort reality.
    🔻 WS: The reality is that, if they really WANT to blast Venezuela good and hard, they have a lot of firepower at hand to do an impressive job of it.

    It will necessitate a huge expenditure of finite resources.

    And it will entail several credible risks.

    #NoEasyWarsLeftToFight
    [and that appears the operative staying hand for the moment: expending a nearly empty armory will have consequences in the setting of deindustrialization and lack of REs in the other hot theatres…]
    🔻 averros: The problem is, this time Venezuela got some new Russian kit. And I wouldn’t exclude possibility that Putin & Co gifted Maduro some Zircons with ground-launch TEL for them. To send an undeniable message that this proxy war shit works both ways.
    🔻 WS: No, that’s not gonna happen. There are no Russian Zircons in Venezuela.

    What they have, if they husband their resources wisely, is enough capability to achieve a few lucky shots on ships and aircraft.

    And, of course, they could severely bloody a brigade-sized landing force.
    [but do not assume such restraint by either Chinese or Persians]
    🔻 averros: Why not? Russia lacks opportunities for asymmetric responses to US/NATO provocations in Ukraine – some of which amount to nuclear terrorism (droning and shelling NPPs) and some of which directly damaged Russia’s nuclear triad. The attack on Venezuela (which, unlike Iran, does not have complicated history with Russia/USSR) presents an opportunity for a very painful payback without going into direct conflict.
    🔻 burz: Nothing’s going to happen. Venezuelans are very well armed, organized, and highly patriotic. The CIA and Mossad haven’t been able to install their puppets for decades. Venezuela is a Vietnam for the USA; nothing’s going to happen. The Pentagon knows the risk of humiliation.
    🔻 RetROM “the MalungGUY”: I don’t think every objective of the Trump administration in its planned invasion of Venezuela will be accomplished. It may even backfire once the American people realize that this was all for enriching the rich and the pretext of narcotics was all lie.
    🔻 Casa ChiChi 🦀 #M4A 🚑: Will, is it me or is the US spiraling out of control to an end times degree?
    Everything feels so bad right now.
    I pray I am wrong 😒


    🔻 Retired Ray: With no experience and a command structure which doesn’t allow free action, China might have the most “toys” but doesn’t understand warfare. They will be embarrassed and humbled.
    🔻 The Office of George Warrick: The combat readiness of the F35s is 10%. Woeful at best.
    🔻 WS: You can’t reason with hopelessly ignorant people.

    The US military has NEVER excelled at warfare, and has suffered strategic defeat in every single war it has fought in the last 75 years.
    🧵The Myth of Western Military Prowess
    🔻 Retired Ray: Umm… the one I fought in was Desert Storm. Kicked the living dog crap out of the “4th largest army” at the time in 100 hrs, made them surrender and leave Kuwait. Ya may need to hit the books again, sister. 🤣 We know how to fight. Not nation building.
    🔻 The Office of George Warrick: It was like Cortez against the Aztecs or Pizarro against the Incas. You were not fighting a peer.
    🔻 Retired Ray: They had over a thousand T-72, T-80 tanks, loads of artillery and trained on the Soviet doctrine. Also had a decent Air Force. Iraq had a credible force. They just were up against a better force and got destroyed. Same crap Russia uses today! 🤣
    🔻 WS: I am well aware of the events of the 1991 Iraq War.

    It was a ridiculous mismatch. The Iraqi military had been wrecked against Iran.

    But even if we grant, for the sake of argument, that the US “kicked ass and took names” in 1991 … well, it ain’t 1991 anymore.

    The relative military power of the United States, in comparison to its current adversaries, is a faint shadow of what it was 35 years ago.

    There is serious firepower out there now.

    Anyone with eyes to see and brains to think would have looked on with wonder as the lowly Yemenis chased away four consecutive carrier strike groups over the past couple years, and to this day they remain the gatekeepers of the Red Sea.

    The Iranians utterly humiliated US and Israeli air defenses in a series of three major engagements over the past two years.

    Taking on Russia, China, Iran, or even North Korea is now simply out of the question for the US military. If the US attempts to fight any of those four, it will turn into an absolute disaster.

    This is undoubtedly why they’ve turned their eyes towards Venezuela. Maybe they can “kick ass and take names” down there.

    I reckon we’re about to find out …

    #NoEasyWarsLeftToFight
    [he raises excellent point. What made the Iraqis of 1991 quit even faster was their state after getting mawled by Iran for a decade. They never had a fight in them to begin with. Like asking the destroyed UkroNazis to fight again in 2028…]

    a soothing lullaby for “our Pumpkin-Pallor Porcine President” per the Artist


    🔻 MD: The crew is on fire in the comments. Most of them end up hidden, and I left a few hanging there on the pillar of shame.

    Anyway, they still keep mentioning Kiev blah blah, which is great. It’s great because they still don’t understand the shift in Russian tactics compared to 2022.
    Russia isn’t in Kiev, but Ukraine isn’t winning and they see something is off, they just don’t quite get how and what is happening. For a huge number of fans of that vulture from Kiev it will be a major shock. Get your money ready for therapists, you have no idea what a war of attrition really means. That’s all for now.
    🔻 WS: 99% of people in today’s world have no conception of how useful and intelligent horses, mules, and donkeys can be. Most people are utterly disconnected from the natural world.
    🔻 Korson Jussi I Vantaa puolustája!: Is it shame that Ukraine is losing to army equipped with donkeys and shovels. How bad are they?
    🔻 MD: I don’t know, I don’t get it. They’ve had NATO support and training since 2014, and still nothing. 🫢

    Something doesn’t add up, looks like propaganda doesn’t win on the front after all. 😏😉
    🔻 The Global Observer: Like Russians losing over a million soldiers and not even claiming the land they enshrined in their constitution?

    They use donkeys because they have no APCs or IFVs to move equipment and soldiers.. 👍
    🔻 WS: 🤣 #TheImaginaryWar

    Meanwhile, thousands of burned-out hulks of Bradleys and Strykers and assorted other NATO armor litters the Ukrainian battlefields.


    🔻 TaxiFurir: And how did the F-35 fair against Irans Russian Air Defence?
    🔻 WS: They went nowhere near it. Not a single F-35I penetrated Iranian airspace. Almost all the non-drone strikes against Iran were launched by Israeli F-15s from standoff positions.

    💠 @Sputnik Africa:
    ⭕ 🔥 🇷🇺’We are winning and will not surrender our victory to anyone’ – Russian military analyst

    • 🗣 The city of Kupyansk recently liberated by the Russian forces is a strategic location that was critically important to the Ukrainian war effort, veteran Russian military expert Alexey Leonkov tells Sputnik.
    • Kupyansk, Leonkov explains, was part of a chain of ‘fortress cities’, urban centers that were meant to be held by Ukrainian forces at all costs.
    • Once these fortresses fall, nothing will stop the Russian army’s advance and the Ukrainian militants will find themselves unable to use civilians as human shields.
    • “We are winning and we will not surrender our victory to anyone,” says Leonkov.
    • The latest ‘peace’ initiatives highlight this fact, he suggests, as Western powers fear that the Ukrainian battle lines may collapse at any moment.
    • Thus, the West desperately seeks to avoid this scenario and preserve the Ukrainian Army, employing diplomatic maneuvers in a bid to halt or at least slow down Russia’s advance.
    • 👉 Their concern is understandable, Leonkov points out, as the upcoming winter campaign is going to be a total disaster for Ukraine.
    • With no foliage to hide in from recon drones, Ukrainian forces will be sitting ducks for the Russian aerospace forces who will keep hammering Ukrainian frontline positions and rear echelons without mercy.
    • “Now comes the time where any heat signature indicates the presence of either troops or military hardware. Thus, Ukrainian military casualties will increase at an exponential rate.”
    • 🔊 Facing both a lack of explosives needed to lay new minefields and skilled drone operators, the Ukrainian military can no longer stall Russian forces, he adds.

    Yes. I wonder if it is not just jews, but all elite scoundrels of the world being amassed in the Holy Land.
    Après hypersonics, Poseidons, and other Horrors, New Zealand ain’t the ratline it used to be.. And too far away to be of importance in local events which build and build..

    Pax Barbaria was always fated to be the end-stop End of the Line for both the West and the Babylonian System.

    History also repeats ineluctably: the Sea Peoples at each inflexion point, such as 1177 BC, rushed to occupy, holocaust, and garrison the center of the World-Island – the Levantine land bridge at the crossroads of civilizations and trade routes.

    I think what we see in progress is the reverse of planned escape routes. It was planned to escape to Novorossiya and Patagonia, but with CONUS and Europe rendered insolvent and indefensible, they’re now doubling-down in the Holy Land. This is the only land they can be assured will not be nuked by any side, so holy and precious to all, and heavily populated with Resistance civilian human shields..

    However Persia and the Resistance have surprises for them. At the Second Coming, ALL current occupiers will have been attrited outta existence. The Resistance is patient and capable of as much cruel calculation and retaliation. This informs the prophesied coming march of 200,000,000 more nazis from northern latitudes to replenish their evaporated garrison-colony…

    “Let me tell you, the unconditional surrender instrument of Japan has no time limit…”
    This is factually untrue, as circumstances and capabilities and relations change in the passage of time, but the prevailing mood and message from China must be understood. And this is no mere speaker — as some say Prof Marandi is the English voice of Iran, the same could be said of Prof Victor Gao wrt China.


    These scenes, normalized and mainstreamed in Novorossiya and West Asia, will only end with the last Anglo-Zionist elite satan

    💠 @Palestinian Commie:
    ⭕ ⏹️⚡️ The silent Tsunami!

    Al-Quds Brigades announce the formation of a new Brigade in Al-Khalil (Hebron), one of the most heavily armed provinces in the West Bank

    The announcement came in the form of announcing the first operation by the new Al-Khalil Brigade, repelling an invading Zionist force

    An internal uprising remains the biggest historical existential threat against the Zionist state, a confrontation in which each time they have had to make the biggest concessions and throw billions annually for internal stability. Following the Gaza war, and 6 years of failing to defeat West Bank resistance (namely of the PIJ), Zionist authorities are silently dying inside. Al-Quds Brigades now have briagdes in all northern provinces, Ramallah, and now in the south

    The 3rd Intifada is mounting, and if there’s one faction of Palestinian resistance that has had a pure, clean history, it is the Islamic Jihad, who deserve and will be the ones to lead the liberation of Palestine in the final war
    [“Al Khalil” = “the Friend (of God)”, the majestic title of the Patriarch Abraham, conferred in the Qur’an, and used widely among semitic peoples. This town is thought to contain his tomb]
    ⭕ Yedioth Ahronoth:

    “The recent operation at the “Gush Etzion” junction serves as a reminder that the West Bank is on the brink of a wide explosion.

    All indicators now point to the “full storm” approaching. Israel silently allows the escalation of settler terrorism in the West Bank, turning the area into a keg of gunpowder fuming in the open air.”
    ⭕ 🔴 PFLP: Third Intifada closer than ever; the West Bank on the brink of explosion

    Press Release

    • The Popular Front: The West Bank on the brink of a third intifada… and the accumulated Palestinian anger will erupt like lava against the occupation
    • The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine affirms that an explosion is imminent in the occupied West Bank, and that the outbreak of a comprehensive third intifada is closer than ever before. It emphasizes that the crime of executing the boy Amro Al-Marbouh and the child Sami Mashayekh in Kafr Aqab early Friday morning, along with the accompanying bloodshed of Palestinians and the unleashing of settler gangs to kill and destroy throughout the West Bank, is the spark that will burn what remains of the illusions of calm, and that the accumulated Palestinian anger will erupt like lava against the occupation.
    • The Front clarifies that our people face a distorted entity led by a criminal system that mixes megalomania with sadistic bloodlust; the practices of burning, destruction, and targeting civilians reveal a deeply rooted racist and fascist doctrine, and a sick psychological makeup of a group of killers and mentally disturbed individuals who treat crime as a distorted human nature.
    • The Front stresses that our people will not stand idly by in the face of this criminal sadism, nor will they bow to organized state terrorism; the occupation is deluded if it thinks that escalating crimes will bring calm, rather it will be the fuel that ignites a tremendous revolutionary energy that enforces comprehensive confrontation and turns the West Bank into a battlefield that drains the enemy and its settler gangs.
    • The Front sends a warning message to the world that the continuation of this fascist entity has become a central hub of genocide and a looming danger to all humanity, calling on free forces to besiege this criminal system with comprehensive boycott and delegitimization, and not to treat its leaders as a normal state but as a rogue gang of killers and enemies of human values, affirming that regional stability can only be achieved by uprooting this occupation.

    [Unbelievable. The attrited western Legion has simultaneous catastrophes in two theatres. As the UkroNazis are essentially spent and require full massed ground support from the Garden in order to even pretend to be relevant, so it is for ZioNazis … The Palestinians are as indomitable and relentless as Russkies. And they will keep coming, with their families and hearths at their back, until the last raving nazi is expunged and kicked back to their Pirate base]

    depopulation has many mechanisms. It can be as simple as adding a table spoon of sugar at the dawn of life… thereby imprinting insatiable tastes leading to fatal diseases in the severely poor


    and from Venezuela’s jungles, it can reach much of US Gulf coast and southeast… and now imagine this tech in chinese and russian hands, who use their superior resources to optimize the bomb yield and missile range and add more radar-resistance coatings and link to Beidou and Glonass and whatnot..
    IOW, the time approaches the hunted will become the hunters of the diseased Pirates, and using the same plausible-deniable proxies, easy to recruit as 99.99% of humanity has already been rendered conscious enemies of western elite


    he notes almost all Yanquis have been priced outta new homes IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS. So the new policies have driven this. This is since COVID and Op Warp Speed. He’s sharp and will eventually clue in that this is not disconnected with depopulation through crashing fertility rates, and also technofeudal plans to render all debt slaves who lack personal possessions and strictly rent. IOW, even current home owners without debt are being pushed out of their homes through taxation, fees, insurance, unaffordable utilities, etc etc. Hell is empty and all the demons run the Garden

    ⭕ West Forgets Lessons of Nuremberg, But Russia Fights for Truth, Russian FM Says

    “Cynical attempts are being made to rewrite history, downplay the decisive role of the peoples of the Soviet Union and the Red Army in defeating Nazi Germany, justify the Nazis and their collaborators, and equate occupiers with liberators,” said Sergey Lavrov in a video message to the forum “No Statute of Limitations. Nuremberg. 80 years”

    He denounced a particularly serious situation in Ukraine, where, according to him, a NATO-backed coup in 2014 brought to power forces “obsessed with hatred of everything associated with Russia”.

    “It is our moral duty to prevent the erasure of the past and to vigorously oppose the spread of destructive ideas and practices of xenophobia, Russophobia, racism, and neo-Nazism,” Lavrov added. |media|
