⚡Israeli military mistakenly killed three Israeli hostages.

More damning evidence that all the Israeli Occupation Forces does is purposely fire at civilians. If not, how else do you mistakenly kill unarmed prisoners?

It's what they've done for decades.
It's the only thing they know how to do.

⚡Serbia refused to sever partnership relations with Russia.

Serbia should become a full member of the European Union (EU), but at the same time it is not ready to spoil relations with Russia. Serbian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense Milos Vucevic said this in an interview with Politika.

He emphasized that Serbia will not forget about its national DNA and will not break off partnership relations with the Russian Federation by introducing sanctions against it. The Deputy Prime Minister also added that Serbia will cooperate with China, India, Africa, the Arab world and the Americas, while remaining militarily neutral and not joining any military bloc.

If only Zelensky was this forth-thinking. Unfortunately, he is just a comedian that has led Ukraine to its comic theatre of destruction.

⚡The United States needs to accept the fact that Ukraine will have to cede territory to Russia - US Republican Senator James Vance

“It is in America’s interests to recognize that Ukraine will have to cede some territory to the Russians. And we need to put an end to these hostilities,” Vance said on CNN. He said it was “in both our interests and theirs” to end the fighting to put an end to the loss of life.

"When it comes to the Ukrainian issue, everyone with a head on their shoulders knows that it will end in negotiations. The idea that Ukraine would return Russia to the 1991 borders was absurd, no one really believed in it", the politician emphasized.

⚡Russia FM Lavrov:

"In the beginning of the 19th century, Napoleon assembled almost the entirety of Europe to attack Russia. We defeated him and we became stronger after that aggression.

In the middle of last century, Adolph Hitler put under his command most of the European countries to launch aggression against Russia. He was defeated as well and we became stronger after that war.

The result of the war launched by the United States using Ukraine against Russia is already seen. Russia has already become much stronger than it was before these events."

some people would be comparing the US and isreal in terms of military capability. Without US support Hamas would conquer isreal eventually.

It is only an ediot that compares Israel (a local government power) to the US militarily.

⚡FT: Russia replaced oil exports to the EU with exports to India and China

Russia's monthly income from oil exports is now even greater than before the conflict in Ukraine, the Financial Times notes. Thus, net income for October this year amounted to $11.3 billion, which is 31% of the country’s total budget revenues for the month.

What’s especially interesting: India continues to buy Russian oil even after rising prices and has no plans to give it up, Business Standard reports. Since last year, Russia has become India's leading supplier, displacing Saudi Arabia and Iraq due to its low price. And even taking into account its takeoff, discounts on oil from the Russian Federation for India outweigh the high logistics costs of imports.

“For China, there is a buyer’s dilemma between Iranian and Russian oil. But for Indian
oil refineries, Russian oil is by far the cheapest option,” the material says.

As part of the agreements, a demonstration model of a new tank based on the Panther KF5 prototype will be created and tested, which will subsequently pave the way for full-scale production in Hungary.

The value of the development contract is approximately 288 million euros.

There is never a question of oil going unsold, even Iran a pariah state sells oil. Talk about gas and who has replaced their gas sales to EU?

Stephen a struggling lesson teacher in Benin complaining about N600 a litre fuel while celebrating high global oil prices. Exercise in stupidity.

Every fool knows oil price was very high in October and fell in November when data showed USA produced 13m barrels a day and that slumped the price of crude. That's what Putards do, wait till one month when oil price ramp up to deceive their fellow illiterates. Why didn't you produce November picture or the full year picture?

🔴🔥The names and positions of the most prominent operational-level terrorist officers of the “senior high officer” category in the occupation genocidal army, who are sent to hell since October 7th:


đź”»Lt.Col Salman Habka from Yanuh, commander of the 53rd Battalion in the 188th Brigade

đź”»Lt.Col(res.) Yochai Gur Hershberg, 52, commander of the Missing Persons Locating Unit

🔻Lt.Col Ben Bashet, 44, commander of the Golani Brigade’s operations room.

đź”»Lt.Col Tomer Greenberg, 35, commander of the 13th Battalion, Golani Brigade

đź”»Col Yonatan Steinberg, 42, commander of the Nahal Brigade.

đź”»Col Roi Yosef Levy, 44, commander of the Multi-Dimensional Unit.

đź”»Col (res.) Leon Barr, 53, a senior officer in the West Bank Division.

đź”»Col Assaf Hamami, 41, commander of the Southern Brigade in the Gaza Division.

Lieutenant Colonels command battalions and Colonels command brigades. A battalion has around 600 men while a brigade around 2000. If Israel has lost this many top commanders along with lots of Majors and Captains, then is it possible that it's not lost hundreds of Sergeants, Corporals, and Privates?

Yet, Israel keeps lying that it has lost just 100 men.

It seems to me that brigades are commanded by brigadier generals ( hence the name "brigadier" ) and battalions are commanded by colonels.

Lieutenant colonel is to colonel what second lieutenant is to lieutenant.

Battalion: colonel
Brigade: brigadier general
Division: major general
Army: lieutenant general

Most Sunnis also care deeply about the Palestinians (it's difficult not to) but leadership is what's making the difference between the two groups more glaring.

The Shia world, led by Iran is far more intelligent and more loyal to whatever cause it sets its mind to.

The Sunnis on the other hand are led by less intelligent, selfish and treacherous people, mostly Arab leaders.

The Arab gulf countries for instance are led by Kings who wouldn't allow even protests in support of the Palestinians because of the fear of being toppled.
Saudi Arabia cracked down on a group of people PRAYING for Palestine.


The Gulf countries are too rich and too few in population to allow hot headedness or militarism dictate their foreign policy

Only 6m of Saudi 30m population are Saudis, the rest are immigrants

Only 300k of Qatar 3m population are Qatari, the rest are immigrants

Only 1m of UAE 10m population are Emirati, the rest are immigrants

Only 1.4m of Kuwait 4.5m population are Kuwaiti, the rest are immigrants

Only half of Bahrain 1.5m population are Bahraini, the rest are immigrants

50% of Oman are immigrants

Of the native populations of these countries, half are millionaires and the other half are very comfortable and all will run at the sound of gunshot. The Indians and other immigrants will be the first to run

So what business do these Gulf countries have in doing hothead like Iran that have the population and the HUNGER to fight. Their demographics are not war demographics simple.

Their Kings know what is best for them and are towing the correct route of diplomacy, trade and soft life because none of them are built for war. That's why they have security pacts with USA and will call USA the minute Kuwait for example is invaded by Saddam.

It depends on the military. But most militaries these days including the US and Israel allow Colonels to command brigades and Lt Cols to command battalions. Nigeria too is slowly following this tradition with Colonels being given command of brigades.

Brigadier Generals are often staff officers and assistants to Major-Generals.

brother thank you for the simple explanation.
those calling for war here don't understand a lot of things, they don't understand international politics.
some people here are saying "give Hamas weapon if you can't fight" who supplied the weapons? the West!!!

politics, diplomacy.....Saudi Arabia will not risk anything for Gaza.
Qatar will not send any military help to Gaza. same goes for almost all the Muslim countries....they can only send money under the disguise of humanitarian/rebuild purposes.

thanks ones more, pls educate them

🔥🫡Our heroic mujahideen are still on the trigger, lurking in the occupation in every street and neighborhood.

🔥🫡What we see disintegrating is the occupation army, not our brigades.

🔥🫡The American administration operates its air bridges to support this entity as if it were fighting a superpower

🔥🫡The enemy uses mercenaries during its operation, which it claims is an existential war.

🔥🫡When the moment of confrontation comes, you see them screaming like children and our Mujahideen hunt them like they hunt ducks.

🔥🫡The numbers of deaths and injuries officially announced by the enemy army are unreal.

⚡Yemen's Houthis hit a vessel with a ballistic missile in a first.

In a first, Houthis hit Liberian flagged MV PALATIUM 3 container ship with a ballistic missile while it was transiting the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

This is reportedly “the first operational instance of a vessel being struck by a ballistic missile at sea” and “potentially the first successful anti-ship ballistic raid.”

Houthis actually fired two ballistic missile towards another vessel, but it missed.

MV PALATIUM 3 broadcasted a mayday call and reported that the vessel was on fire. U.S. Navy’s USS MASON has responded to that request.
