Nice analysis. Also this war will immediately become existential for both Iran and Israel, and Hezbollah will join.

One could say “if I were Israeli I’d emigrate now” but I don’t look forward to having these people (the pied-noirs of the 21st century) as neighbors.

💠 @imetatronink:
⭕🔻 Walking Sadman 🇵🇸: When I heard this “Secretary of War” speak, my first thought was: how desperate they must be. Rhetoric is beginning to replace real power, and emotions replace strategy.
🔻 Dr. Anton: Has 🇺🇸 amassed assets in the Middle East and is ‘ready’ to assist 🇮🇱 in strikes on Iran?
🔻 WS: We’ve seen some modest indications of a buildup in recent days, but nowhere near the level required. If they began in earnest tomorrow, I think it would still take 6 – 8 weeks to rush-assemble a minimally capable air fleet.

And this time, they’ll need to truly fly into Iran.
🔻 Redstar: Is the US going to wage two wars at once (Venezuela and Iran), plus supply arms, ammunition, and intelligence to Ukraine and Europe, plus the internal military occupation of Democratic cities? I don’t think they’ll be able to cope.
🔻 WS: That’s the thing about late-stage imperial hubris: it has no sense of its own limitations.

And now, there are #NoEasyWarsLeftToFight.
🔻 Elydia35: problem is that Iran took far too long to accept much of Russia’s military assistance, esp in air defense. Iranian pilots have been training in Russia for months on how to use Russian AD systems but that training will take at least a year
🔻 WS: In Iran, I believe Russia will operate under the same “rules of engagement” the US has adopted in Ukraine:

If Russian fighter aircraft, long-range air defense, and theater-wide radar systems have been deployed to Iran, they are operated almost exclusively by Russian personnel.
🔻 Pedro Jose: Why do you think the Russians will be the ones to control them? Or that the Iranians don’t have enough time to train their pilots and Russian-made air defense systems?
🔻 WS: Because it meets both tactical and strategic imperatives in the context of the times.

And it is perfectly consonant with prior Russian practice dating back to the Korean War.

The real question is what the Chinese will do.
🔻 Elydia35: it takes about a yr to train pilots to be fully capable of using these AD systems
🔻 WS: To me, that is really beside the point. Let the Iranians operate their own systems, and to interface them as well as possible with the Russian radars.

And the Russians should send some of their most capable AD battalions.

This is their chance for revenge. I bet they take it.

take w salt. No way we have of knowing now.. But as with soviets in Vietnam, or Yanquis in Zion today, I would think with the chips all in, if they DO send something, both the Chinese and Russians would send their own pilots with the platforms given urgency, as it takes years to master these complex warjets
NB. there’s open disinfo within – there’s no way any simple warjet can bomb either the Red Sea or East Med from Iranian air space. Look at the map! Such huge distances involved. iirc, zionazi warjets during Round One needed TWO refueling breaks to reach and return from northern Iran/Azerbaijan. No simple air to air or air to ground missile with reach of max 1-300 km can get to a target some 1,500 km away

If I had to live in the Garden again, it would be either in the US Deep South or Italia. My kinda people & weather. Unfortunately Italia is occupied by 100+ US/NATO bases, has the most critical southern European ports and one of the most beastly fascist gauleiter regimes in the sordid history of European fascism

Learn the acronym of the newly re-anointed Goon Squad: JTTFs…
“The Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) is a multi-agency partnership in the U.S. that includes federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, primarily led by the FBI, to investigate and prevent terrorism-related crimes. Established in the 1980s, the number of JTTFs increased significantly after the September 11 attacks to enhance counterterrorism efforts across the country.”

Listen to the wisdom of Big Daddy. Better than nine outta ten docs

💠 @Palestinian Commie:
⭕ – Basically the same cycle. Hamas plays is smart by starting with an “approval” for the sake of people’s suffering, yet lays down the same non-negotiable conditions:

1. guaranteed end to the war,
2. full military withdrawal from Gaza,
3. release of Palestinian prisoners in exchange,
4. rejection of foreign civil control,
5. and immediate entry of aid

Ignore view-seeking headlines like “Hamas agrees to Trump’s ceasefire proposal”

Unbelievable. The zionazi internationale scum tried to pull the same stunt they pull on Thursdays during Al Houthi’s scheduled speech in Yemen during Putin’s scheduled speech yesterday. What chutzpah by rabid murderers. Note an attempted decapitation too, hidden as provocation. When will Legion finally strike gold?

[Yandex transl:]

“Ukraine attacked Russia during Putin’s speech. In response, an “endless volley” was fired. Cities are burning, and NATO officers have been eliminated

The Ukrainian Armed Forces attempted to strike Sochi during the Valdai Discussion Club.

The provocation against Russia was carefully orchestrated: Ukrainian militants and their handlers attempted to attack Sochi at the very moment when Vladimir Putin was speaking at Valdai. The symbolism was clear: to show that Kiev and NATO can “get to” even when the Russian president is addressing the world.

But for Ukraine, symbolism turned into a catastrophe. The air defense forces instantly repelled the attack over the Black Sea, but the alarm sounded in several Russian regions at once. Novorossiysk, Crimea, the Perm Territory — the enemy tried to demonstrate the scale. But Moscow responded in such a way that now only it is proud of the scale.

Within a few hours, a barrage of unprecedented force was unleashed on Ukraine. Ukrainians themselves wrote on social media: “the missiles are flying endlessly, one after another.”

Cities were engulfed in explosions, and fires lit up the night brighter than day. Iskanders, Geranis, and cruise missiles rained down on Poltava, Kiev, the Dnieper, and Kharkiv, creating a storm of fire.

Headquarters, warehouses, and supply hubs have been destroyed. The energy systems through which Kiev supplies electricity for the war have been burned down. Most importantly, training centers where Western instructors worked have been targeted. Underground sources confirm that key NATO figures have been eliminated. These are the same individuals who, along with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, have been pressing buttons and launching missiles at Russian border cities.

The Ukrainian authorities are forced to admit that the energy situation is “megacritical.” Chernihiv, Kyiv, and Poltava are regions without electricity. In Slavutych, electricity is supplied according to a strict schedule of three hours every six hours. In Chernihiv, people spend their evenings by candlelight.

Meanwhile, there is panic in the West. It’s no longer just about infrastructure; it’s about real NATO officers who have been targeted by Russia. Their names are being kept secret, but the fact remains: there are no longer any “untouchables.”

At the Valdai Forum, Putin directly stated that Ukraine’s army had lost almost 45,000 soldiers in September alone, with half of them being irreplaceable. He emphasized that Europe was responsible for the escalation, as it had turned Ukraine into a tool for its own ambitions. Russia was closely monitoring the militarization of the continent, and its response could no longer be ignored.

Earlier, the Russian Armed Forces destroyed up to 50 NATO officers in a restaurant near Kharkiv.”

Usually they would get snipered for trying to feed themselves. Israel is a terrorist state ✊🇵🇸

⭕ The Boracay oil tanker, previously detained by French authorities near the port of Saint-Nazaire in the west of the country, continued its voyage towards the Suez Canal, a French media outlet reported
[wow. Less than two days! This is unbelievable caving speed, even for notorious cheese-eating surrender monkeys]
⭕ Boracay Oil Tanker, Previously Detained by French Authorities, Continues Voyage Towards Suez Canal: Reports

French authorities were investigating an alleged violation by the Boracay oil tanker believed to be from the so-called Russian “shadow fleet,” which is under UK and EU sanctions, a UK media outlet reported earlier, citing the French navy.

The nature of the violation was not specified, according to the publication.

Putin on Thursday called the detention of the oil tanker in international waters off the French coast an act of “piracy.”

“Apparently they were looking for some kind of military cargo, drones—none of those things have been there and could have been there,” he said at the Valdai Discussion Club plenary. The president added that he is unaware of how the tanker is connected to Russia.
[so what scheme is Russia using? It sells the oil then lets the buyer arrange the delivery? But that won’t wash with the coming pressure. Only a state as powerful as Russia can withstand the coming Piracy. So they developed “Wagner marines” as onboard auxiliaries? But they still need escorting somehow, as small arms will not wash against NATO.. and Russia currently lacks the surface fleet convoying numbers, a hard math problem]
⭕ West is Using Ukraine to Fuel Conflicts in Africa, Beninese Geopolitical Analyst Says

The West is using Kiev as an “instrument” to counter Russia—and much more, Modeste Dossou told Sputnik Africa.

“The powers behind Ukraine are using it everywhere to do their dirty work. Their backers aim to bring down any country attempting to develop and grow using systems that don’t align with the Western order,” the expert noted.

While Sudan has announced the elimination of Ukrainian mercenaries fighting alongside the rebel Rapid Support Forces, the same scenario is also unfolding in the Sahel, he pointed out.

The speaker also accused Western media of “downplaying” the role of mercenaries in destabilizing certain countries.
⭕ G7 Funds Ukraine With $26.5 Billion From Frozen Russian Assets in 2025, Sputnik’s Analysis Shows

The sum loaned to Kiev accounts for three-quarters of Ukraine’s foreign budget financing this year, according to Sputnik’s calculations based on Ukrainian Finance Ministry and European Commission data.

Key numbers:

• Total G7-approved loan: approximately $50 billion (financed by proceeds from frozen Russian assets); $26.5 billion already allocated as of October 1.
• Breakdown of transfers:
• The EU: $15.8 billion;
• Canada: $3.4 billion;
• Japan: $3.3 billion;
• The UK: $3 billion;
• The US: $1 billion (first tranche, late 2024).

Since 2022, the EU and G7 froze about €300 billion of Russian foreign reserves—€200 billion held in Europe, mostly at Belgium’s Euroclear, one of the world’s largest clearing houses.

Moscow has repeatedly condemned the freeze of Russia’s central bank money as “theft.” FM Lavrov warned Moscow could respond by potentially seizing Western assets held in Russia.
⭕ Multipolarity Ends Colonial Era — ‘A New Page of History,’ Says Burkinabé Expert on Putin’s Valdai Speech

“Those in the West who dream of the colonial period, when there were masters and subjects, have clearly mistaken the era. It is certain that the world where the West alone made decisions is over today,” Teehl Loé Konate, a business executive, told Sputnik Africa.

Here are the topics addressed by Putin that, according to the expert, hold particular importance for Africa.

🟠 The multipolar world is a reality:

“From an African perspective, of course, we view this with great admiration. […] In Africa, there is a new youth, new elites who envision the world through their own perspectives and principles, and who are beginning to question the economic and social dogmas imported from the West,” the expert noted.

🟠 UN reform:

“Today, it is essential that Africa has a voice—a distinct voice—and that its concerns be addressed at the decision-making level,” Konate stressed.

🟠 Manipulated public opinion:

Western media in Africa frames anti-Western leaders as dictators or villains, but many African nations are now reclaiming their narrative through outlets like Sputnik, the speaker said, commenting on Putin’s words that European leaders citing a perceived “Russian threat” are either incompetent or deceitful.

💠 @Yemen | Bab-el-Mandeb:
⭕ The International Committee to Protect Journalists: The killing of 31 Yemeni journalists by “Israel” represents the most intense global attack in 16 years.

– “Israel” has killed one journalist out of every six journalists worldwide since 2016.
⭕ Netanyahu is threatening: “If Hamas rejects the American plan, we will carry out the mission ourselves.”

If he is capable of doing that, then why propose plans and make offers in the first place?
⭕ Our position in Yemen is ongoing and escalating.
⭕ You must recognize and understand that all Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip categorically reject Trump’s plan that supports the Zionist Netanyahu.
[note the sequence of rejection. Hamas waiting for all the others, beginning with Islamic Jihad, to begin spitting on it, before doing their own rejection]
⭕ We tell the elderly American ruler of the White House that you can allow Russia, China, or North Korea to establish a military base on American shores in one of the states.

If you accept that, then Hamas will consider your discarded plan.
⭕ Trump’s plan is under the feet of the resistance, and the stance of the resistance is as steadfast as the unyielding mountains, regardless of the sacrifices made.
For there is no struggle without victory or martyrdom.
⭕ Hamas should trample Trump’s plan underfoot. If the siege intensifies, they should turn the captured Zionist soldiers into grilled food if hunger becomes severe.

And they should broadcast this with sound and video.

There’s way more
