⚡Global airlines are cancelling flights at an unprecedented pace:

Airlines have cut 2 million seats and 12,000 flights worldwide from their May schedules over the last 2 weeks, reducing the total available seats to 130 million.

This comes as jet fuel costs have DOUBLED since the Iran war began, forcing carriers to cancel unprofitable routes, switch to smaller aircraft, and raise ticket prices.

Turkish Airlines and Air China account for the largest seat reductions, cutting ~520,000 and ~490,000 seats, respectively.

Lufthansa leads in flight cancellations, at ~4,000 flights in May alone, with the airline having removed 20,000 flights from its schedule between May and October.

Meanwhile, Gulf carriers, including Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar Airways, are still operating well below pre-conflict capacity, as the closure of Gulf airports has disrupted ~33% of all European journeys to Asia.

Singapore and Tokyo airports asked carriers not to add extra services to limit jet fuel use, and Vietnam introduced jet fuel rationing.

The global aviation shock is spreading.

Why did Iran attack the UAE? I don't think this is cool. What is Iran pre-empting by attacking UAE's oil facility.

⚡Stephen Sklenka, 3-star U.S. Marine General who oversees logistics and bases for the United States Marine Corps:

There is no threat that looms larger than… China.

Don’t listen to this garbage about them being a near peer. They’re a peer because they rival us in nearly every single measure of national influence.

[China wants to] supplant us as the global leaders. They’re not interested in sharing that position.

Think about… Iran… then ask yourself… against a nation that’s number two in GDP?

The Chinese manufacturing base has been out-producing us.

None of us… have ever had to operate… against a legitimate peer in every domain.

This development comes after Hezbollah has been inflicting mass casualties amongst soldiers using FPV drones.

However, this retreat won’t likely work as Hezbollah can hit them across the border.

Anybody running for President or Vice President should be forced to take a Cognitive Examination prior to entering the Race!

By doing so, we wouldn’t be surprised at people like Barack “Hussein” Obama, or Sleepy Joe Biden, getting “ELECTED.” Our Country would be a much better place!

I took the Exam three times during my (“THREE!”) Terms as President, and ACED IT ALL THREE TIMES — An Achievement that, even on a single Exam, according to the Doctors, has rarely been done before!

⚡North Korea's nuclear arsenal is approaching the threshold needed to overwhelm U.S. missile defenses.

The U.S. has 44 ground-based interceptors capable of handling roughly 20–25 incoming missiles.

North Korea is producing 12–15 warheads per year and fielding multiple ICBM types with solid-fuel engines and decoy capabilities.

These people are INSANE.

Imagine dressing up this HORRIBLE thing as some kind of virtue.

This guy has EVIDENCE that Western companies were trying to act in a way that would DESTROY an entire company.
And cause MANY people to lose their jobs.

And China, who's probably capable of building something BETTER and producing it FASTER too, offered to buy it and SAVE that company and those JOBS.

Instead of being GRATEFUL, this guy used the Chinese offer as a BOOGEYMAN to get the other "like-minded" Western Nations to BACK-OFF.

These people did NOT care about Canada, Canadian Jobs or that Canadian Company...UNTIL they thought it would benefit China.

They were happy to KILL that company.
Until China stood to gain from it.

That is PURE EVIL.

They INVENTED capitalism and touted as the BEST system for running an economy.
Chinese Communism is KICKING their capitalism's ass left, right and center; and they have started to PANIC.

Instead of discarding their GREED-PROPELLED capitalism and refining it for the BETTER, they are trying to KILL OFF China and it's economy.

If NOT for colonialism and brainwashing, MOST countries in the World should be PATTERNED after the Chinese Economy.

NOT a system that creates CENTIBILLIONAIRES in dollars while someone who has worked for 10-years CANNOT afford a 2-bedroom apartment without BURYING themselves in DEBT.

The REAL evil set of people is becoming clear to all.
And becoming clear FAST.

When the West CANNOT compete; they KILL.
That's their M.O.

I'm NOT even going to talk about the fact that they REFUSE to certify Chinese Aircrafts.

the uae is suffering from short man syndrome

total number of emirati citizens is 1.5 million
that is not a typo

with a population of 1.5 million
they are involved in the sahel (mali, burkina faso...), libya, somalia, sudan, yemen
they also want to take on iran and saudi arabia

ironically, it is a loose federation of emirates
some of which are not fully onboard with the policies set by the big two emirates-abu dhabi and dubai

pressure go soon burst that uae pipe

whatever they're doing is unsustainable

Exactly, the amount of support and smypathy Iran garnered internationally is unprecedented and Iran cannot afford to lose it at this point. Even Americans, Europeans and some Israelis that have been brainwashed to think Iran has always been the evil can now see the truth for themselves. The evidences are there on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram etc.

Iran must continue to demonstrate to the world that it is not the aggressor so preemptive strike is a NO NO.

Masterviolence:

I don't think Putin made that statement. My honest opinion.

I don't know the missile capacity of Iran, but I know for a fact that the u.s and it allies have been arming Ukraine for 8 years before Russia invaded.
You think it's a joke for military analyst, war veterans and generals to come to the conclusion that the russo-ukraine war is the hottest war ever fought since WWII?
Btw, Ukraine is not in the same category of military might with Iran.

Iran is nowhere near what Ukraine was and currently is.
At a point in this war, Kyiv was more protected than any European capital.

Don't forget quickly that at the early phase of this war, Russia decimated the Ukrainian military so bad that up till now they still rely on borrowed weapons and their current manufacturing of home grown drones and missiles is largely based outside the country.

If Russia had treated Ukraine like a terrorist state from the beginning, the war would've been over
