Your friend up there already corrected you and gave you an off-ramp. Make use of it and take a walk. There is nothing like "It takes two to tangle." Na your mouth I first hear that one. It is tango and not tangle.

And I know you already checked online and saw tango is the correct word. But because of your stubbornness and the habit of always wanting to be correct, you will rather double down on arguing that it's "tangle" rather than accepting that your attempt to correct someone else's use of English was a disaster.

There is nothing wrong with correcting someone else's use of English. But if you are going to do so, don't be arrogant about it, and put some effort into making sure you are correct, else you may just end up turning yourself into a laughingstock.

⚡Russia has now launched 22 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 4 Zircon hypersonic cruise missiles towards Kyiv. 2 Zircons also targeted Poltava Oblast.

Large fires are burning in multiple parts of the city. Only one patriot interceptor was launched during this entire attack, and it failed to intercept anything.
The rate at which Russia is producing and deploying ballistic shovels and hypersonic washing machines need to be studied.

You were NEVER descendants of the original Hebrews. The originals were blacks --- Song of Solomon 1:5-6.

Formal Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1958 corroborated Solomon's black nativity when he said ancient Jews left Egypt as blacks and returned to the ME as whites years after.

Netanyahoo and his murderous cult of child killers and women murderers claimed to be Jews but are not , but of the synagogue of Satan --- Revelation 3:19 --- and it fits perfectly because his real name is Mileikowsky from Poland.

We see through the lies and deceptions. The real Jews God is after today are those at heart spread everywhere by the blood of the new covenant, not some on a specific land mass that specializes in killing women and children and desecrating holy sites that belongs to Christians.

Iran is sliding down the slopes of isolation!!

Although still at the preliminary stage, the details of the framework are still sketchy.
the news going around town is that Hamas has agreed to disarmament.. a crucial part of the Iranian proxy network has unilaterally decided to disarmament
😂😂

Saudi Arabia has unveiled plans for a multinational maritime ​defence coalition aimed at protecting international shipping and energy supply routes in ‌the red sea.. seeing countries like turkey, pakistan, and egypt already on board is a direct indication that countries are getting increasingly hostile to Iran's weaponizing of international routes, iran is quickly losing goodwill in the middle-east.. all that is left is for us to wait and see if the houthis will decide to fire at saudi tankers under protection from a multinational naval task force which comprises of sailors from multiple arab and african nations!!

Oman has rejected Iran's moves to be the sole manager of the strait of Hormuz, as they want their own independent lane. (very one knows that nobody's going to used Iran's lane if both nations have independent lanes in the Strait)
😂

Hazebolla is getting harmed in labenon. The Israeli keeps bombing the sect, and Iran can't even assert the detternace she wanted to set,
Hence another proxy of Iran's is left to fend for herself, another strategic loss to the regime, the involvement of Hezbollah in the war has also critically brought about the political Isolation of the political wing of the sect. As the Lebanese government is now currently engaged in tripartite discussions with Israel and the US..while Hazebolla watches alone from the nosebleeds!!


One thing is certain, Iran will come out of this war more isolated. You can't keep bombing your neighbours and not bear the consequences, another important fact is that over time the strait of Hormuz will lose value as more alternative means comes online!!


Ceteris paribus and the gaza deal goes through Saudi Arabia will definitely come into the Abraham accords!! The most powerful Muslim country and the custodian of the Islamic religion will now have diplomatic ties with the state of Israel, that will be a strategic win for the Jews!!


I wonder what sinwar would be thinking, that his beloved Hamas is potentially disarming??😂😂
See this unrepented member of the NCA --- Nairaland Copers Association.

Iran that is a member of the SCO and BRICS, two organizations that contains some of the most technologically advanced and economically rich nations of the world is isolated? At a time when your slave master has made the country more popular and respected globally.

Continue.

I know you mean to say the opposite. Your Epstein clown god approval ratings has tanked, no thanks to Iran. His mental instability is everywhere for all to see as he can't find a way out of the quagmire he placed himself. Don't take it too personal lest it gets to you.

🌎 For the first time since the start of the war, Iran’s IRGC announces the complete destruction of 3 F-35 fighter jets and significant damage to 3 others at the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan, through multiple ballistic missiles targeting the deployment ramp and maintenance hangar this morning, per Tasnim. Iran had not previously announced the destruction of an F-35.

The IRGC adds several US officers and maintenance personnel were also killed at the base.

The strike comes in response to a US strike on 2 residential homes on Qeshm Island earlier this morning, killing a father, mother, and their 2-year-old child, and injuring 2 other children.
Iran has done well by focusing more on Jordan.

Keep the pressure and the tempo going. The more it last, the greater the disarey in the US camp.

After this war is over, I don't think the Straits are going to be that powerful a leverage, because people will move the energy pipelines out of the Straits to the Red Sea, from there to Israel and the Mediterranean.

We can unblock this choke point, and we will.
This man no get sense at all.

You think you can just casually reroute one of the busiest energy corridors on Earth like it's a garden water hose.

Here's the funny part: Netanyahoo 's "genius" plan has already been floated for months, and reality keeps disappointing.

Analysts studying the actual math found that even with every bypass project running flat out (Saudi's expanded pipeline, the UAE's second line to Fujairah, Israel's proposed corridor through Eilat,) the combined bypass capacity would only reach around 12–13 million barrels a day within three to five years, which is still well short of the roughly 20 million barrels a day the Strait normally carries. So no, you're not "unblocking" anything; you're just building smaller, slower, more expensive backup streams while the main pipe stays clogged. Oga get sense.

And here's the funniest part from his uninformed takes: the pipelines built to dodge the Strait are not even safe once completed.

Right after a ceasefire, Iran struck the Saudi pipeline that had become the kingdom's only working outlet after the shutting of Hormuz, proving the "safe alternative" isn't actually safe from Iran at all. It turns out that drawing a new line on a map doesn't come with a hail Mary. Iran has jets, drones, and missiles, and they can hit a pipeline in the desert just as easily as a tanker in the water. This Netanyahoo "workaround" is just a different target with worse capacity.

There's also the small matter of every one of these grand pipeline dreams depending on approvals, land, cash, and cooperation from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and others who haven't exactly rushed to say yes. One route alone needs hundreds of kilometers of new cross-border infrastructure and years of construction, none of which exists yet. So "we can unblock this choke point, and we will" is less a statement of fact and more of optimism.

To be fair, it's not pure fantasy. Pipeline capacity to the Red Sea and Mediterranean genuinely is expanding, and Gulf states do want to reduce dependence on the Strait for their own reasons. That part is real. But to say that "the Strait won't be powerful leverage anymore" is ludicrous and a very different claim from "we're building some more pipelines." In fact, the gap between those two claims is roughly the size of the 7-8 million barrels a day still missing from the total math.

Let's not even mention that Iran via its ally in the Houthis are specialists in Red Sea disruption. Busting some pipelines in their backyard will be a cakewalk.

Netanyahoo is not bright at all.

I knew at some point, Poland, the Baltic Chihuahuas and Moldova will soon get the attention they desperately needed from Russia.

This was an intentional message to the Polish that Russia is ready and will not hesitate to escalate should they go beyond sending hundreds of Polish soldiers covertly to fight die in Ukraine as mercenaries.

And those midget countries that have been allowing their airspace to guide Ukrainian drones to attack Russia from outside will be paid their due coin.

Trump just happens to be the tool the universe has decided to deploy in hastening that reality.

That orgasmic joy in my chest is the reason I broke the news on this thread, to begin with😂😭.
FIFA lost all credibility the moment it deem Russia not fit to participate in anything football for attacking Ukraine but allow Israel, a country actively committing genocide before everyone's eyes to play the game.

FIFA's bias and conscious selectivism was further demonstrated in the Argentina vs Egypt match where the shameless and corrupt FIFA president infantino was televised live jubilating like his life depends on it after Argentina scored and equalized, and was so sad when Messi and his cheating team were two goals down. That is the head of an organization who was supposed to be neutral during the games.

He is that corrupt, just as the US has proven to everyone that cares to know that they don't give a flying dime about the fans neither the joy the game brings; just the money and they would stop at nothing to get their way.

🌎 Donald Trump has 'reportedly' backed away from plans to escalate the war with Iran after Pentagon officials warned U.S. forces were running low on Patriot interceptors and other air defense missiles in the Middle East, according to The New York Times.

The U.S. has fired more than 1,200 Patriot interceptors, each costing over $4 million.

The NYT reports Gen. Dan Caine warned that renewed large-scale strikes could nearly exhaust CENTCOM's interceptor stockpile.

A senior U.S. official also said the campaign is having the "the opposite effect," keeping Iran united against an external threat.
The sudden silence on the fronts from the Yankees last night is deafening and embarrassingly amusing.

Some might think this is the silence that comes before the storm, but not just that. It's the sign that things are not going as planned.

The US is now at its most critical level in munitions. Jet fuel is also running low for them on the fronts. And you have the Houthis attack on the Saudis oil infrastructure....something they never envisaged and prepared for.

The markets were good on Friday, but don't be fooled. While billionaire stakeholders may be publicly silent they are surely screaming at the Trump administration. While some of them are making a kill from the chaos, some are also counting their losses in agony.

Now, they're left with just one other option if they must keep this barrage of attack and pressure on Iran nonstop, and that is getting Israel to join the strikes to reduce pressure on American stockpiles.

Already, the US Embassy in Jerusalem has warned American citizens in Israel of a “possible unforeseen escalation.” Americans are urged to be prepared for flight cancellations, airspace closures, and transport disruptions, and to know the location of the nearest shelter.

The upcoming meeting between Netanyahoo and Trump will clear the air on this. But it's now obvious that Israel must join the fight. And that is where things will start getting interesting.

From July 8-23, nonstop strikes from Iran have degraded much of the missile shields and early warning radars in Jordan and elsewhere that were protecting Israel. So, how they plan on managing this reality is something to be seen.

Plus the possibility that, once Israel joins this latest round, Hez would be activated pro-max and the Houthis front could amplify.

Interesting times ahead.

Since the beginning of July, we have recorded active Russian satellite surveillance of the Gulf states and U.S. military facilities located there.

These images subsequently appear in Iran. At the same time, there is a clear correlation between Russia’s satellite imagery of these sites and Iranian strikes – both before the attacks, in preparation for them, and afterward, to assess the damage inflicted.

On July 19 and 20 alone, four air bases fell within the area of interest of Russian satellites – two in Bahrain, one in Jordan, and one in Kuwait. The purpose is clear.

None of us in the world should turn a blind eye to one very simple fact: evil always seeks ways to make things worse and spread further. Russia must be stopped. This war must be stopped. Pressure on the aggressor must work.
