The push to expand solar is also exposing South Korea’s reliance on Chinese supply chains. China accounts for most solar panels installed in the country, reflecting its dominance in global manufacturing and significantly lower costs.

How South Korea plans to use the Iran crisis to spur a renewables revolution

Energy crisis unfolding in Middle East has added political urgency, and more funding, to transform South Korea’s solar industry

www.theguardian.com

That is a joke, so in such views, the US's reckless military actions not expose Japan and South Korea's dependence on oil. Howevr, China's photovoltaic(PV) exports “revealed South Korea's reliance on China's photovoltaic supply chain”.

Could China blockade the sun?

Turkey to race ahead of EU on battery storage amid fossil fuel crisis​

More than 33GW of battery capacity approved for Turkish grid since 2022 compared with 12-13GW in Germany

Turkey has given the green light to more batteries to buffer its electricity grid than any EU member state, a report has found, in a further sign of rich countries losing steam in the race to a clean economy.

More than 33GW of battery capacity have been approved in Turkey since 2022, according to the climate thinktank Ember, while the total planned and operational capacity in European frontrunners that started deploying them earlier, such as Germany and Italy, is 12-13GW.

The coal-hungry economy straddling Europe and Asia is among several developing countries witnessing a rapid boom in clean technology as prices fall and fossil fuels face further crises.

The findings come as diplomats prepare to descend on the Mediterranean resort city of Antalya in November, when Turkey hosts the Cop31 climate summit.

Ufuk Alparslan, an analyst at Ember and author of the report, said policy choices in Turkey had created a “massive investment signal” in battery storage that outstripped its European peers. “If delivered, Turkey’s battery pipeline will be the backbone of a new, clean regional energy hub.”

Turkey’s large number of projects is the result of a 2022 mandate that gives preferential grid access to renewables that are paired with an equal amount of storage. Of 221GW of battery storage in submitted applications, Turkey has approved 33GW, equivalent to 83% of its current wind and solar capacity, according to the report. Romania is the only EU country with a greater ratio. The Turkish projects mostly use one-hour batteries, providing 37GWh.

Greg Nemet, an energy researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who was not involved in the report, said the “dramatic” growth of solar and batteries in some countries, especially in the global south, had come as the cost of both had fallen by nearly 90% in the last decade.

“Cheap solar and batteries create a tremendous opportunity for creating a cheap, clean and reliable energy system,” he said. “Countries like Turkey are taking advantage of that.”

Turkey generates about a fifth of its power from wind and solar – well above any country in the Middle East or central Asia but below the European average – while continuing to back coal, which benefits from extensive subsidies and generated 34% of its electricity last year.

Which ally did US lose so far? I don't see any. All Arab countries are interested in weakening Iran, they just afraid to say that openly.

Canada's closest neighbor. A NATO ally. The United States' closest neighbor, not just geographically.

But listen to how the Prime Minister of this country tells the global hegemon to go to hell.
----------------------------------------
The Canadian Prime Minister's remarks about ending war tribute payments to the United States drew thunderous applause.

The Canadian Prime Minister spoke of the "war tribute" that Canada had been forced to pay to the United States for years.

According to Mark Carney, "For a long time, our military sent 70 cents of every dollar to the United States":

"That time is over."

Remarkably, this statement, made at the Canadian Liberal Party convention, drew thunderous applause. The point is that Canada purchased approximately 70 percent of its military products, including weapons, equipment, and dual-use goods, from the United States, effectively subsidizing American companies. This financial agreement, which the Canadian Liberals have effectively called a "tribute," is tied to Canada's membership, along with the United States, in NORAD, the Five Eyes alliance, and other "common security" structures.

Now Mark Carney is calling for a reorientation of Canadian industry, including defense, toward domestic procurement and investment in Canadian developments.

The Canadian Prime Minister also called for import substitution efforts:

"Where it does not conflict with our interests, we will work with suppliers from Europe, South Korea, Japan, and other countries."

Overall, Mark Carney's statements sound like a continuation of his confrontational policy toward Donald Trump, who has previously famously stated that he views Canada as the 51st state of the United States.

If you believe the Five Eyes alliance is less important to the United States than the US-Israeli alliance, you're in for a big disappointment. Not to mention NATO.
The US is losing its allies at an unprecedented rate—that's obvious.

 

[Corvus]

We're witnessing the end of a superpower before our very eyes. They will still be strong no doubt, but that aura they had decades back is gone almost completely.

Also not sure if Trump came to stop the rot or have US destroyed from within.

Not to brag, but this is exactly why I supported Trump in the last elections.

 

[Corvus]

U are focused on Western Europe which rapidly loses any importance. The mighty French army was pushed out of Africa by bunch of drunk Wagner mercenaries.

How do you guys plan to survive when there is no longer unlimited American obedience?

❝A loss for Turkey is out of the question.❞

■ An analytical article published on the Israeli television channel Channel 14, authored by Omri Haim and Dror Balzada, assessed potential tensions between Turkey and Israel based on Turkey's growing influence and military capabilities in the Middle East.

■ The analysts stated that the likelihood of a direct conflict between the two countries in the near future is low under current conditions, adding: "A direct war with Turkey is not expected."

■ The analysis emphasized Turkey's growing influence, particularly in Syria and Gaza, noting that Ankara has strengthened its influence on the ground through ties with local players. Emphasizing Turkey's strategic position and military capabilities, the article stated: "In such a situation, defeat for Turkey is out of the question."

Yeah, I know what you mean, but remember, USA kind of benefits us too. Just not too sure if the benefits outweigh the negatives
Going to be interesting next few years no doubts.

Before 1967 US was rather anti-Israel than pro-Israel.

Empty talk, without any importance.

These along with Taliban and whatever other acronym we choose are just labels used to describe a set of people that don't buy into the narrative of democracy. I don't agree with them, and I don't buy into their idealogy, but like the US military, not agreeing with a group is not a reason to not understand how the adversary things. That is what US military is good at.

And its not just US adversaries that subscribe to the principle of using unhinged ways to get to power. Many of US allies do the same thing. Egypt's Sissi and Pakistan's Sharif all stole their elections but are closely aligned with us.

So Houthis are no more illegal than these countries or the monarchies in GCC.


Might is right: taliban are in power, houthis in power, and in the US on Jan 6th, they tried to approximate the same scenario. Those are all facts. How they got there or if they had polls and parliament matters to us, but does not matter to them or the population that supports them.

Saudis, UAE for 3 years bombed Houthis using our advanced tech to finally capitulate and agree to recognize them. If Saudi's can recognize them, then we can accept them as defacto power.

As I said Houthis first illegally captured North Yemen then they tried to capture South too but were kicked thanks to UAE and Saudi intervention.

Iranian support to Houthis led to bloody war, hundreds of thousands dead, starvation, terrible misery.

Same what happens to any other place they intervene - Syria, Iraq, Lebanon... Its pretty amazing that u support crazy regime which destroyed ur country turning it from Paris of Middle East to terrorist failed state.

 

[Spitfire9]

Good to read that an Israel apologist disapproves of starvation, albeit when it occurs in Yemen.

 

[500]

Whats the mood like In Israel though, how do they feel about US and Iran having ceasefire talks, or even peace?
Not going to lie, I kind of expected Israel and US to hit harder than they actually did.
So far it seems like a win for Iran. Even the markets are not bothered much by the war.

Israel bombed hell out of Iran, eliminated dozens of generals, thousands or IRGC, military factories... without losing a single soldier.

I've seen a Twitter comment that basically went something like "in 100 years, Israel will either be Greater Israel or it will not exist at all".

Regardless of what one may think of Israeli justifications, they have absolutely f***ed their reputation on the global stage. I've never seen this many people in the US openly s***ting on them and almost everybody in the Middle East is either extremely wary of them or outright hates them. They can't really walk this back anymore, not that any of their political leaders seem interested in doing so.

Twitter propagandists invent lies and then argue with them. No one in Israel thinks of any greater Israel. Thats pure nonsense.

The truth is that IRAN tries to create greater Iran. Prior 7 Oct they controlled Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, North Yemen and Gaza.

Now this axis is in ashes. Hamas is beaten, Hezbollah is beaten, Assad gone (because Israel destroyed Hezbollah), The influence of pro Iranian militias in Iraq also shrinked.

They win in tiktok and twitter Israel wins in real.

Interestingly, the map you posted shows the Iraqi Kurds under the rule of Iran, while the Syrian Kurds do not show that they are under the rule of Iran. But even without that, this map is pure nonsense and ordinary anti-Iranian propaganda for several reasons and we all know who it is for and for what reasons.

...Iran and Hamas as friends

What nonsense? That Iran established control over all these areas through its proxy militias?

BTW Nasrallah openly stated that it was their goal:

Major rockets Hamas used against Israel were Iranian made Fajars.

Before 1967 US was rather anti-Israel than pro-Israel.

How is that an answer to my question? Do you think situation today is similar to 1960?

1960's was the peak of the Cold War and everything was being evaluated through this reality. Türkiye and Iran (strongest countries in the region) were friendly with Israel, most Arab states were newly established and they were disorganized&dirt poor. The world didn't know/care about Jewish invasion and colonization of Palestine. There was not a global resistance. The West was much much stronger than rest of the World.

Today we are moving to a multipolar order. Arabs have money and global connections, Turks have defence industry and military, Pakistan has nukes, the West is weaker and the people, everywhere, is anti-Israel.

So, I'm asking again, what is your plan of survival when there is no more unlimited US obedience in a few years? This is not a rhetorical question. I'm geniunely curious about your future plans without the US security umbrella.

Daniela Weiss holds a laminated map of the Middle East with the title "The Promised Land" into the camera and says: "This is the promise of God to the patriarchs of the Jewish nation."

The map shows a Jewish state that encompasses parts of Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Syria and Saudi Arabia – extending way beyond the 1949 armistice line, the so-called Green Line that defines Israel's territory according to international law.

"It's 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles) – almost as big as the Sahara desert," Weiss adds.

Weiss – sometimes nicknamed "the godmother of the Israeli settler movement" – is referring to the idea of "Greater Israel", or in Hebrew "Eretz Israel HaShlema" – "Complete Israel." It's an expansionist concept popular among the Israeli far right that originates in the Bible.

In March 2023, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich caused diplomatic turmoil when he spoke at a Paris memorial behind a podium featuring a "Greater Israel" map that included not only the territories Israel currently occupies but also Jordan.

A year later, he told the German-French channel ARTE that "the future of Jerusalem is to expand to Damascus," referring to the Syrian capital.

In September 2024, when speaking about his plans for "the day after" the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented a map that fully annexed the West Bank.

In August 2025, he told the Israeli channel i24NEWS that he was "very much" connected to the vision of "Greater Israel," prompting Egypt and Jordan to demand clarifications from Israel.

And just a few months ago, in February 2026, the US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, told American talkshow host Tucker Carlson that it would be "fine" if Israel took over the entire Middle East.

When Israel and Hamas Fought on the Same Side: How Islamist Insurgency in Syria United Them​

https://militarywatchmagazine.com/article/israel-hamas-same-side-syria

 

[Yasar_TR]

Everyone is talking about Israel pulling the strings of Trump and US being manipulated by the Jewish lobby in US etc.

No one is mentioning how long this can last. There is a;

Midterm elections in the US this autumn: They occur two years after each presidential election. Elections are held for all 435 seats in the House of Representatives, and 33 or 34 seats in the Senate. As a result, the membership of these two legislative chambers changes near the midpoint of a president's four-year term of office.

Basics​

1. Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate (two independents caucus with the Democrats).
2. 35 of the 100 Senate seats are up for election in 2026, including special elections in Ohio and Florida.
3. 22 of the seats are currently held by Republicans while 13 are held by Democrats.
4. Democrats would have to hold every current seat and gain fourseats to take control of the Senate.

All of the Congress seats are going to be fought for. Currently Republicans hava a majority of 218 seats to 213 seats.

Do you think that with the current anti Trump sentiment in the country Republicans can hold on to their slim majority in either house? (Trump has an approval rating of 38% for and 58% against as of now)

If both houses swing to Democrats his impeachment could start.

Congressmen and Senators that are puppets of Jewish Lobby will still be there in one way or another. But Trump could be greatly pacified.

The concept of "Greater Israel" does not even exist in Hebrew. Greater in Hebrew is "Adir" "Gadol" Atzum" No such thing in Hebrew.

There is only "Israel Shalem" - means complete, undivided. So if someone says he supports Israel Shalem - means u against giving up territories. Not for conquering something,.

In past 50 years Israel was shrinking and only after 7 Oct started expanding a little (creating very narrow military buffer zones).
