⚡Zelensky presents the "Victory Plan" in the Verkhovna Rada, which consists of 5 points and 3 secret additions.

1. Inviting Ukraine to NATO right now.

2. Defense (We need to increase our own production, as well as increase aid from Western partners).

3. "Ukraine proposes to deploy on its soil a comprehensive non-nuclear strategic deterrence package, which will be enough to protect Ukraine from any military threat from Russia."


4. Economic (in particular, limiting oil prices and exports).

5. "After the war, we will have one of the most experienced military contingents. People who have military experience, experience working with international weapons. This is a guarantee of security in Europe. This is a worthy mission for our Heroes."

"The Victory Plan is a guarantee that the madmen in the Kremlin will lose the ability to continue the war. Russia must lose control over Ukraine forever."

"If the plan is supported, we can end the war no later than next year," Zelensky says.
Truly, coke is bad for the health of this man.

If not, he would have realize that his number one point is dead on arrival.

His number 3 point can never exist in this world or the next to come. The Russians would make certain of that.

His number four point is even more pathetic reading it. The likes of the US wants more oil inflow into the market to push down the rising price, but the coke sniffer wants to get them up running by limiting oil export. Stupid has never been this stupid.

And it gets worse when you realize from his number two proposal that Zelensky believe the EU has a bottomless appetite to continue funding this war in Infinity, at a time when many of his European partners are already running dry and suffocating in fatigue aiding and abetting the Ukro Nazis.

It would be far better to have a thief as your president because, he even would be guided by some basic principles howbeit small to preserve the life and continuation of the environment where he is stealing from, than to have a clown as your president.

And with the high class Russia has so far demonstrated with his Intel, I wonder what in God's paradise makes the clown think the Kremlin doesn't know what is in his three secret points.

Actually, they "own' the world. Up to 50% of the worlds population (population in influential positions) are christians and Christianity is rooted in Judaism which is Israel religion.

Whether Russia, US, UK, France, Germany, in fact lots of countries in Europe, North America , South America, and so on, have them. All christain countries respect Israel cause without their(Israel) existence, their(christian nations) religion(Christianity) is nothing

So they(Israel) do "own" the world if you look it that way
Christianity and Judaism are two strange bedfellows that has never and can never meet together.

I understand how you feel vis-a-vis these critical economic times, but it's just an offer and he is not forcing anyone to take it.

Moreover, jobs of that nature doesn't always require people to work around the clock or on every working day.

While the pay is low for a start, it's still far better than some useless businesses here in Nigeria that use you and pays you like a donkey. Example, the average private school in Nigeria pays some of their teachers 30,000 Naira a month. Is that not wickedness?

Maariv Hebrew newspaper:

The drone disaster that transpired at the Golani base and its aftermath have left a sense of helplessness and frustration, in addition to immense pain.

The inability to counter the drones is, in fact, a direct continuation of the failure of October 7, a failure resulting from mental deficiency, arrogance, ignorance of the facts, and the illusion that the enemy is deterred, lacks courage, and that everything is in order.

The question that arises is how could an intelligent, modern army, equipped with the best multi-layered air defense system in the world, with the best missiles, aircraft, and more, not have a response to drones?

We have said it here before; drone technology changed the face of modern warfare.

No matter how big and powerful you are, some drones will always sneak their way into their target. The Ukraine-Russian war is the only war in modern history where drone technology has been used massively by both parties in the conflict. And from what will have seen so far, it's safe to say that while advanced missiles like the ones on hypersonic glide vehicles remain the most potent and brutal standoff strike weapon on the battlefield, drones are the most problematic and frustrating to handle because they (majority of attack drones) flies very low, making them difficult to detect and counter, and they usually come in a swarm, which guarantees that one or two would scale through no matter how.

The last point is even more frustrating for the receiving enemy: the majority of them are cheap in so much that even when the defending enemy is able to bring them down, it would be doing so at a very high cost, which, in most cases, is fifty to one hundred times higher compared to the cost of each single drone.

So, it is more painful if an enemy scores a major damage from a drone than when the damage was from a bomb.

It is the Lord's doings that Israel isn't sharing borders with countries like Iran; that place for don burn finish by the likes of Mr. shaheed and brother Lancet.

Even till date, those damn piece of metals are still giving Zelensky sleepless nights despite the highly layered Ukrainian defense setup.

Plus the Ukros have used water based drones to score some great hits against the Russians.

Drones respect nothing and nobody.

For a long time Nigerians have been believing in the God of Israel. Heck I spent a good number of my life believing in the God of Israel. Whereas, Israel have or use to believe in their iron dome. Given the way the iron dome gave way at the mention of Iranian ballistic missile, I think Israel should start believing in that God Nigeria believes in. At least he has managed to keep Iranian missile away from our head.

⚡Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) CEO Marjan Rintel:

The EU should establish financial measures to curb competition from Chinese airlines that can freely cross Russian airspace.

Western countries closed their airspace to Russian airlines as part of sanctions imposed after the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict in 2022. In response, Moscow banned aircraft from ‘unfriendly nations’, forcing EU planes to reroute, resulting in higher fuel consumption and increased costs.


“Russia’s airspace is closed to European airlines, while Chinese carriers fly over it, which can save two to four hours. You see that reflected in pricing, and consequently, our costs are higher,” Rintel said in an interview with Dutch broadcaster WNL on Sunday.

Rintel suggested that Brussels should intervene to address this competitive imbalance. “Europe can at least explore how we can level the playing field by adjusting pricing or examining other alternatives,” she stated.

In response to rising costs, KLM plans austerity measures aimed at saving €450 million ($494 million) annually, including €100 million by “adjusting” in-flight catering, Rintel said.

“In the Netherlands, we are facing a tight labor market and rising wage costs, which differs from the situation in France,” she added, referring to KLM’s parent company, Air France-KLM. “Due to a shortage of pilots and technicians, roster changes will occur, and maintenance may need to be outsourced,” she explained.
You want China to bear the brunt of your self-imposed sanction and price hike.

Shameless clowns.

Another terrorist attack in Israel.

I don't condone targeting civilians.
But this is all Netanyahu's fault.

He could have taken the ceasefire on the table, but he chose to escalate.
Now without Haniyeh and Nasrallah, the hardliners have won out and these attacks will become more frequent.

-Lord
This is exactly what I have been afraid of. Nasrallah was against targeting civilians right from the onset of his rule, and that has been a plus to his leadership in Lebanon. Now that the bloodthirsty and warmongering Netanyahu have killed him, the hardliners in and outside Hezbollah will now start using Israeli civilians as target practice.

Now, there is pressure on the border side of Jordan. Imagine if those notorious Israel-hating groups are to break free and attack from that side of the border.

Unfortunately, he has gone too far and this war is not ending anytime soon. I feel really bad for the innocent civilians caught up in this mess.

⚡Professor Emmanuel Todd:

"I am not pro-Russian, but if Ukraine loses, Europe will win."

"The outcome of this war will decide the fate of Europe. If Russia is defeated in Ukraine, the subordination of Europe to the Americans will last for a century.

If, as I believe, the United States is defeated, NATO will disintegrate and Europe will remain free. Even more important than Russia's victory will be the halting of its army on the Dnieper. It will have neither the means nor the desire to expand once it has restored itself to pre-communist borders.

The Western Russophobic hysteria, fantasizing about Russia's desire for expansion in Europe, is simply laughable to a historian.

The psychological shock that awaits Europeans will be the realization that NATO was created not to protect us, but to control us."
Facts. Especially with that last paragraph.

The Iranian parliament is reportedly drafting a bill to create an official military alliance between all parties of the Resistance Axis: Iran, Syria, Yemen, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, Hezbollah, Hamas, and various other factions.

The bill mentions the creation of a joint operations room and a unified military infrastructure, as well as joint military exercises and an obligation to send military and humanitarian aid in case of any act of aggression by the US or Israel against any one of the parties – Tasnim

I can clearly see that you're having a mental breakdown.
Since the IDF started receiving heavy beating in Lebanon, you have become restless. grin grin grin
The situation in the Lebanese front was a no-brainer.

Hezbollah was and still is a much more organized, equipped, and far superior force compared to Hamas military wing. In just few days of war, the IDF is already losing men like flies. Aside the civilian buildings they have been destroying (their specialty) and the targeted assassinations, the IDF has scored very little against Hezbollah on the battlefield.
Imagine a situation when other state actors join in.

Netanyahu is overplaying his hand here by repeating the civilian targeting mistakes in Gaza here in Lebanon. Whatever sympathizers he has among some European countries are gradually loosening their touch seeing the horrific footages of massive civilian deaths. It will geto a stage where no one will border to be of help to it anymore aside the US. The recent show of indifference by many of the countries that use to support it following the recent Iranian strike is one rude awakening that they should really consider. Unfortunately, the Netanyahu character isn't taking notice.

A fly that has no one to advise him follows the corpse into the grave.

The bead boxes should go to Batool. As for my monthly allowance of 50 shekels, I want half to go to Rahaf and the other half to Ahmad. I’d like Batool to have my toys.

Lastly, please don’t shout at my brother Ahmad. Please follow these wishes.”

By the way, in the event of a major war between Iran and Israel, with strikes on each other's oil facilities and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices will seriously skyrocket and the Russian Federation will earn billions or even tens of billions of dollars.
This reality actually puts the US in a quagmire.

An expansive retaliation against Iran and counter attack by Iran would force oil prices high, possibly beyond the price tag during the US invasion of Iraq. And that is a very bad omen for western economic outlook.
