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 The Russian Navy, however, is a deeply neglected, underfunded and outdated entity and I don't think many people realize how quickly it would be taken out of the fight in the South Pacific.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...

Really interesting geopolitical scenario between Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Hungary 🇭🇺. Although part of the European Union 🇪🇺, Hungary is alligned with Russia and Russian interests in the war. As such, they are currently blocking a $7.9 Billion usd tranche of aid from the European Peace Facility For...
Big development for Ukraine that I've been calling for. They have officially announced that they are going to allow foreign pilots and aircraft maintainers to join the Ukrainian Air Force. This is imperative to maximize the use of the F-16 fighter jets they're going to receive. As it stands...
A Kamala Harris / Mark Kelly ticket will demolish Trump and Vance.
Harris will hammer Trump on abortion and women's reproductive rights, which lost Republicans seats in Red states during the midterms. She'll also reinforce him being held liable for rape by a court. I think She'll better...
Biden endorsed VP Harris. She'll bring the black / minority vote and reinvigorate Democrats in this race... But her VP selection is most important. She needs to choose somebody that is going keep all of the traditional Democratic voters on board and who will draw in moderates / independents. The...
In reality, HAMAS chose to exchange the lives of 40,000'ish of their people for 1200'ish of Israel's (and counting). Seems like incredibly poor foresight to me.
It makes complete sense for Russia to target Ukraine's critical infrastructure. It's part of their goal in forcing the Ukrainians into capitulation. It's the West's responsibility, as Ukraine's ally, to help them defend their critical infrastructure.
On the other hand, Russian infrastructure is...
Big boy strike by Israel. That port receives 70% of Yemen's seaborn trade and it's temporarily crippled. Exactly the kind of highly damaging strike that was inevitable after the Houthis have spent months inserting themselves into the Gaza conflict and striking merchant vessels peacefully...
Britain 🇬🇧 has agreed loan Ukraine 🇺🇦 $2.6 Billion usd to purchase its own weapons. The Brits have all but admitted that they are running low on weapons to send Ukraine from their existing inventories, and would rather loan them cash that they can use to purchase weapons for around the world to...
Rarely do we get information regarding Ukrainian and Russian brigades being trained and what they're being equipped with. We hear about equipment donations, and Russian production, but we rarely know exactly who gets what. Here is rare example of a Ukrainian brigade that will be trained in...

The Czech Republic 🇨🇿 have quietly delivered 30,000 RPG-75M to Ukraine. The transfers have not previously been announced and they are expected to continue into the future as the Czechs produce them domestically in large quantities...
