Maybe we need to change our foreign strategy a little, engage more with China in defense and security and try to solve our difference.

The way I see, it seems that the US start losing its influence and reputation bit by bit on global stage, still influential but the trends is declining. We may seeing the slow and gradual decline of the US influence. For US military its still strong as usual, with trends of improving its capability.

With Russia started making move in Europe and the rise of China, it will be a challenge for US to keep maintaining its hegemony and as time goes by it will get harder.
Also their reputation keep going down the drain by keep supporting pissrael.

Based on true story. Story about 4 sisters in Tunisia, the number 1 and number 2 went to joined Islamic State in Libya, the first to Sirte, the second went to non Tamkin but strong Tunisian presence Sabratha, Libyan border city near Tunisia.

At first when the number 1 started to wear niqab, the cheerful and festive number 2 started to mocked the number 1, called her as bat, walking goat etc. But time passed, the second started to put niqab too and became more extreme than the first even.

The number 2 married IS Amir of Sabratha that was killed by US bombing early 2016, Noureddine Chouchane. She even notified her mother that something would happened in Tunisia few days before Battle of Ben Guerdane in Tunisian border city near Libya.

Both of them imprisoned in Tripoli now.

For IS in Iraq and Syria, Tunisia was the country where most of the foreign fighters came from. And there was problem with not all but usually Tunisian fighters in Syria near the end of IS territorial control. Those from Tunisia tend to be more extreme, even for IS standard.
This Abu Muhammad Al-Furqan was also the Chief of Delegated Committee (organizing Diwan-Diwan, very important) replacing Abu Muhammad Al-Adnani. During his time as chief of this, if you like to reading about ISIS, the phenomenon of Ghuluw (berlebihan/too extreme) existed within ISIS, and yes, mainly on their publications, not weird. ISIS kind of became 2 that even killing each others, one pro to Turki bin Ali (ISIS ulema from Bahrain and his office) and one to Delegated Committee. Those who pro to Turki bin Ali called those who with Delegated Committee as Hazimi, many Tunisian called as Hazimi, even some reported ambushed perpetrated by them.

9DL is not quid pro quo for either China or any of the claimant states

Yes, like it or not, the current event in Gaza will have repercussions for the U.S. ability to hide behind the usual mask of "civilized society" to advance its interests.

A decade or so from now when China invaded Taiwan, am not sure the usual U.S. tactics like portraying China as barbaric is as effective as when Bush declared the 'axis of evil' out of Iraq.

The invasion of Iraq 20 years ago created a free base of support for the current Putin's geopolitical adventure (out of hate for the U.S , particularly in the global south), the live televised destruction of Gaza will create a similar anti-US support base for whoever will challenge U.S hegemony now and in the future.

With Russia started making move in Europe and the rise of China, it will be a challenge for US to keep maintaining its hegemony and as time goes by it will get harder.

The U.S. has lost much of its hegemonic power as early as the mid-2010s, that's when they're no longer able to steer events around the world according to their whims. Some events to note in this timeline include:

  1. The defeat of the FSA to either Assad or the Islamist
  2. The defeat of liberal Hong Kong groups to nationalists
  3. The defeat of Armenia in Karabakh to a Pan Turko alliance
  4. Failure to install Guaido in Venezuela
  5. Failure to prevent the presence of Chinese police on the Solomon island
  6. Failure to deter Putin from invading Ukraine
and many smaller events that showcase the trend of declining U.S. ability to enforce their order.

The Hamas attack will have a bigger repercussion than the Tet Offensive that led the way to communist victory in Vietnam many decades ago.

Whoever planned the 7th October attack must be really good at geopolitics. They know what will be the response by israel and the inability of the U.S. to reign over israel. In the process, they're killing to myth of the 'civilized and humane' West that the West spent so much time crafting.

Without those masks, it will be a lot more difficult to justify conflicts with 'undesirable autocracies' like NK, Iran, Venezuela, China, and Russia'. But on the opposite side, it will encourage those states to be more bold in their foreign policy, making it more likely they're working in a concerted effort to undermine the U.S. ability to enforce order.

US also flee chaotically from afghan with their tails between their legs, and abandoning their pawn.

I mean yeah they are so greedy but their claim to our territory is relatively smaller compared to other SEA states, they should think if its worth dropping their claim on our territory to pacify Indonesia.
Or they prefer Indonesia to keep leaning towards US led camp.

Ya, even hard hitted IS in Mosul (when Battle of Mosul) could make that. Speaking about rocket launcher, IS was ever made their own AT-4 like disposable rocket launcher too (again in Battle of Mosul. I was always followed the news then) though. I said that try to give the image if rocket launchers are easy to made even non state actors with less industrial capabilities could made that.
Finally found the video again

Video from Diwan Al-I’lam of Wilayat Ninawa showing IS’s POV of Battle of Mosul. Filled with up-armored KIA Sportages VBIED (V-BED) with its Istisyhadi, firefight against Iraqi forces which they called as Rafidhah. And more interesting, American IS fighter explaining about IS made disposable rocket launcher 11:30 (Armbrust-like with PG-7, PG-9 and their own made thermobaric round), own made RPG-7 explained by Russian IS fighter and Belgian explaining MANPADS 22:40, own made RCWS, and UGV with AT mine.


The point of disposable rocket launcher is lighter. Put PG-7 rocket in a fiberglass case, basically they weight is just from the the rocket.
