⚡"If Russia attacks NATO, Kaliningrad and Sevastopol will be annihilated."

In the event of a direct confrontation with Russia, NATO would "wipe out Kaliningrad and Sevastopol within the first few hours," said former U.S. Army Europe commander Ben Hodges.

"If Russia attacked Poland in 2025 the same way it attacked Ukraine, NATO’s air and ground forces would destroy it.

You can be sure — Kaliningrad would be wiped out within the first few hours. In the first hours, Kaliningrad would be gone, all Russian military targets destroyed. Any Russian military facilities in Sevastopol as well."


This was the same man that said during his service time that he had never seen anything like the Russian EWs.

Now, he is yapping about wiping off Kalinigrad and Sebastopol like it's ABC.

He forgot to mention that London, Washington, New York , Berlin, Paris, etc, would be long gone before their bombs even hits the ground in those Russian places he mentioned.

Clown.

What's your take on this "peace deal" in Egypt?


Will it hold or is Trump and his gathering of f00ls just putting on a clown show?
Lmao

Has there ever been peace in the ME since Netanyahoo came to power?

Give it one month, and we are back to writing about more strikes and crimes of Netanyahoo.

The only reason Satanyahu and even the US are getting this peace deal done now is because they were spooked by the huge recognitions Palestine got recently, especially from top tier countries in Europe.

Israel was just a thin thread away from massive combined sanctions. Hence, the rushed peace deal by Trump to calm nerves.

But, one thing is clear though.

By Hamas releasing and Israel accepting the prisoners exchange, Netanyahoo has boxed himself into a tight corner. The excuse of continuing with the killings under the false pretext of the prisoners being held is no longer there to hang on to.

So, he will have to come up with something else or be prepared to leave power and face his corruption cases.

That's not gonna happen.

That brings Iran into the limelight.

A rematch is now sure more than ever.

Except the Yahooboy in Tel Aviv can come up with a huge false flag that's completely devoid of Iran.

One way or the order, he will fight again, and the primary target would be Palestine or Iran.

Netanyahu's dream of a greater Israel is still alive.

Ex-British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, lobbied to continue the Ukrainian conflict for bribes — The Guardian

Documents show he accepted a bribe to continue Ukrainian conflict by a shareholder in British arms manufacturer that supplies drones to Ukraine

He gave £1 million so Johnson could persuade Zelensky to continue the war & refuse to sign peace agreement with Russia
All of us knew a peace agreement was already concluded when Mr. Boris Jog-Sin into Kiev and turn the tables upside down.

As the Russians were leaving Kiev, Elensky came out and started yapping how they drove them out.

Wow.

Well, the Russians have learnt the hard way. Hence, they can no longer afford to be fooled into another ceasefire.

Ukraine needs Patriots very badly. They’d like to have Tomahawks. We’ll see.

I might have to speak to Russia about that. Tomahawks are a new step of aggression.

If this war is not going to get settled, I’m going to send them Tomahawks.

It’s an incredible, very offensive weapon.
Please, send them. We are all tired of the slow-mo way Putin is dealing with Ukraine.

Maybe, when Tomahawks hits deep inside Russia, Putin would give the go ahead to bring Aleppo 2.0 to Kiev.

But.....

Mr Trump...


Don't forget the Russians NEVER forget or forgive.

The Houthis, Venezuelans, etc, might just get their hands on a truckload of Iskanders and ship killing missiles that the Saudis have begged them not to give out.

Moreover, there is already talk of deploying Oreshnik and Osina ICBM complexes in Cuba and Venezuela in retaliation.

So, make a wish and stick with the endgame.

What is wrong with some of you Nigerians on this thread?

One moment you were arguing that the arrival of Blackwater mercenaries is a welcome development, someone points out the folly in your assertion and you doubled down that it's okay for them to be invited since Wagner is in some African countries, even when you know Wagner operates based on official invitations from governments of those countries. Even when that useless opinion of yours was shot down, you're now asking if Blackwater is in Nigeria already huh.

This is why some of us just quietly read updates here without making contributions, because you people willfully exhibit ignorance even when it's mighty obvious that your arguments hold no substance.

You're just aimlessly dancing from one unrelated statement to the other, simply because you want to hold up the argument.

A Czech systemhuh Wow. Almost every SU57 vs F22 video I watched focused on stealth so tey I too began to ignore the areas where the SU57 shines (this beast can effortlessly dance in the sky)
Russia's military doctrine differ in scale to that of the US.

One is hell bent on global dominion. The other focuses on securing the periphery of the formal Soviet space.

Hence the choice of weapon design to meet each needs.

FYI, the S-400 is designed to also track and defend against stealth flying objects.

During the thick of the Syrian crisis in 2015-2017, the one the Russians deployed in Syria was "painting" ALL US war planes flying to and from the East of the Euphrates, and that include the F22 Raptor and F35 located in the Icirlik airbase in Turkey.

It was this realization that prompted Turkey to purchase the S-400.

Fearing the proliferation of the System, the US swung into action by introducing CAATSA, a legislation that sanctions any country that buys the S-400 and similar systems.

Stealth is only an edge in terms of modern deployment and over less sophisticated foes.

To add to it. In 2019 Syrian s-200 scored a hit on Israeli F-35 but we were told it was a bird strike that damaged the aircraft over Syria and was unable to fly and was decommissioned by Israel.
The F-35 is more akin to kill its pilot than an actual enemy.

It's the greatest boondoggle of the 21st century.

Objectively speaking, I think American combat aircrafts are ahead of their Russian and Chinese counterparts especially in terms of stealth technology. That's the only major edge they have and who knows, it might all be media hype.

They don't have much to lose by exposing other weapons and the MIC dons have mansions and yachts to buy grin
Don't make me laugh.

Did you say stealth?

Old Soviet Radar systems delivered to Venezuela are already detecting F-35s.

Czech radar systems some years back tracked the F-35 for hours.

Needless to say the Serbs shot down one of the best stealth fighter jets in the US arsenals back in the 90s. And they did it with a very old SAM system.

Stealth tech is only an edge against third world nations and sandal wearing militants.

Heck. Stealth technology was known to the Russians decades before the west came to known of it.

The reason they did not prioritize it was because the task demanded by their military doctrine did not need it.

Even till date, they still don't see the need to go full stealthy with their jets.

I hope they'd foolishly do this. It would give the Iranians the legitimate reason to target the UAE and Bahrain with cut-through strikes. Then disrupt the global supply of oil, sending oil prices to the rooftop of Mount Everest.

If you like, post evidence even from the White House itself, this brainwashed folks would still deny that Israel is just killing innocent Palestinians indiscriminately. They do this in the warp and satanically motivated belief that God bless and curse whoever would bless and curse Israel, so Israel must be supported unconditionally.
