IMO, it looks like Iran has issued another warning in advance so that the attack is somewhat telegraphed and the coalition of Israel, USA, Britain, France and some of their Middle East allies will be in position to intercept most of the incoming ordinance.
All that would do, IMO, is give Bibi more fuel for the war effort and draw the Americans closer to the conflict. While it reasonable given the tactics Israel has used in killing other political and military leaders, I don't think it gets you closer to peace in any way if that's the goal!
Never works that way in reality. For the same reason that 155mm artillery shells have tripled and quadrupled in price for Ukraine and other nations supplying them, fuel prices for Russias would go through the roof. An even better example might be what India and China are currently doing to...
I'll leave it. The video leaves out some key nuance. For example...
While the video correctly states that the U.S. and their Allies could embargo upwards of of 6.5 million barrels of Chinese oil imports per day, it also glosses over the fact that China's domestic offshore oil production...
Ukraine 🇺🇦 will receive $7.85 Billion usd in direct budget support from USA 🇺🇸 in 2024, including a $3.9 Billion usd tranche that will be delivered in the coming weeks.
Ukraine will also receive $824 million usd in American support to rebuild and repair energy infrastructure...
Bahahahaha
This might be the most uninformed post by you yet... And that's saying something. Evidently, you have no concept of the type of attrition that Russia is facing and will continue to face as it advances on its offensive. The Russians haven't taken anything close to a major city since...

This will best especially magnified when Kamala choose the likes of Andy Beshear or Scott Kelly as her VP and "JP Mandel" goes on looking like an even bigger moron.
Spain 🇪🇸 will send an additional Hawk phase III air defense battery to Ukraine in the early fall. Ukrainian troops will train to use the battery in Spain before returning to Ukraine to deploy. Ukraine has used their existing Hawk air defense systems extremely effectively shooting down both...
It's a fallacy that I can't focus on enough that Russia's defense industry drastically increasing the production of MBTs and IFVs. That's completely false.
What Russia is doing is restoring armored vehicles that are left over from the Soviet era because it's much quicker process than building...
Reminder that Russia occupied 18% of Ukraine at the beginning of 2024. That number has now risen to approximately 18.3% of Ukraine after 7 months of heavy fighting this year in which Russia's army resources (namely tanks, IFVs, APCs and Artillery barrels) continue to be drained at a much faster...
Good news on the military aid front. After further auditing aid sent to Ukraine using Presidential Drawdown Authority, the USA 🇺🇸 Pentagon found a further $2 Billion usd in depreciation errors regarding the equipment they've sent to Ukraine. As a result, the U.S. Will add $2 Billion usd to its...
Lol China is just self-interested like everyone else. I'm not suggesting that they are terrible, bloodthirsty or anything like that. They're simply rising as threat to Western power. It's not as if I expect them to apologize for it.
Lol all I meant by "dangerous" is more capable. China's Fleet is quickly growing in capability compared to its opponents. Every year the Chinese military becomes more capable of threatening Taiwan and presenting a strong challenge to the U.S. led regional support for Taiwan.
The Chinese Navy is increasingly dangerous and growing in strength rapidly. The Russian Navy, however, is a deeply neglected, underfunded and outdated entity and I don't think many people realize how quickly it would be taken out of the fight in the South Pacific.
Their Black Sea Fleet got...
