You can tell how scared Hezbollah is (and for good reason!). All the drone footage they've been releasing is designed to make them look as big and strong as possible, and is a warning to Israel that they're willing to inflict maximum damage to their infrastructure, so Israel better think...

Per the Financial Times, Israel 🇮🇱, The United States 🇺🇲 and Ukraine 🇺🇦 have entered negotiations for the transfer of some / all of Israel's 8 Patriot Missile Batteries to Ukraine. Israel recently started the process of decommissioning their Pac-2 Patriot systems in favour of newer...

Bahahahaha... Define "owned"? Gaza has been largely destroyed, with large areas made uninhabitable, with approximately 310 Israeli soldiers KIA and 2000-3000 WIA... Israel activated more than 300,000 reservists to compliment their full time military, brining the total up to 450,000'ish. If your...

Type 55 looks like an awesome ship, with top notch capabilities, but China has a total of 8 of them right now. If war broke out tomorrow, 8 Warships of that capability would be nowhere near enough to lead the charge in breaking a seige led by 2/3 of the U.S. Navy, the entirety of the Japanese...

I'll be really curious to see how Hezbollah does against the Israeli military this time around. The Muslim world has been talking them up in a big way, so I'm expecting to be impressed by their ability to confront the IDF and the IAF. If this confrontation comes to fruition and they don't wipe...

That's the biggest challenge. When the U.S. and 15+ allied Navy's and air forces can use Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, The Phillipines, Australia, New Zealand, Guam, Hawaii, The Northern Mariana Islands, etc as ports and airfields, they can easily resupply and keep the pressure on China. Would...

China's Navy can sail just fine. It's a serious threat. It's biggest problem is that it's not yet a great blue water Navy in structure, nor experience. It's largely designed to operate around coastal China / Taiwan and be able to project power slightly beyond the South China Sea. It's largely a...

Israel 🇮🇱 is in the process of retiring all of their Patriot Batteries. They've fully switched their air defense to Iron Dome, David's Sling, Arrow-3 and they are working on Iron Beam. Israel's HAWK and Patriot Battries have been / are in the process of being moved into reserve and will...

Russians keep throwing their people into the wood chipper in the Kharkiv region... Yikes.

His government would be betraying the people to not take 4x the value of an artillery shell as compensation. That's really good money for the Serbian defense industry.

Serbia 🇷🇸 has sold USA 🇺🇸, Spain 🇪🇸, and the Czech Republic 🇨🇿 $850 million usd worth of Soviet caliber 122mm and 152mm artillery shells. Contracts continue and the Serbs continue to produce said ammo. When asked about the sale of artillery shells to Ukraine, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic...

Ukraine launched at least 8 ATACMS missiles into Crimea tonight. Russian Telegram is going nuts. Large explosions are being reported in Sevastopol... More to follow regarding what was hit.

One day after Romania 🇷🇴 announced the transfer of one of their PAC-3 Patriot batteries to Ukraine, the Netherlands 🇳🇱 announced that they have teamed up with an undisclosed country to provide yet another Patriot Battery to Ukraine, with components coming from both nations involved and the Dutch...

It's good to hear the South Koreans 🇰🇷 start to change their talking points, it's step one in getting an imporant weapons producer on board with direct transfer of weapons to Ukraine. That said, there is some constitutionality involved with the rules in their country around sending weapons to...

The United States 🇺🇲 has now decided to stop the transfer of all Patriot Systems and interceptors and NASAMS interceptors to foreign purchasers until Ukraine has what it needs to defend itself from Russian missile strikes. Scheduled deliveries for the foreseeable future will all be re-routed to...

Germany 🇩🇪 has placed the largest order of artillery shells in its history. They ordered $9.5 Billion usd worth from domedtic producer Rheinmetall. Multi-year deliveries will begin in 2025 and the contract is expected to procure millions of artillery shells, with the idea of restocking the...

After significant consideration Romania 🇷🇴 has made the important decision to send a Patriot air defense battery to Ukraine. This represents the 7th Patriot Battery that has now been committed and will supplement the two tier 1 SAMP/T batteries that have been committed. Significant news...

If you're going to deflect in a pedantic fashion, answer this then. Would Russia accept Ukraine annexing 18-20% of pre war Russia, including land that holds hundreds of billions (possibly trillions) of dollars worth of natural resources?

Lol again, pure deflection. Answer the question. Would Switzerland gladly give up 18-20% of their country, including all of land rich in resources, simply to appease an invader?

I have no ill will against the Swiss. I respect their right as a nation to practice neutrality. But I am glad they are getting the "back of the bus" treatment. They shouldn't be rewarded for their stance, IMO.
