China's HQ-9B: The Worst Air Defense Flop of the Decade China's much-hyped HQ-9B missile system—touted as a Patriot-killer—has delivered three catastrophic failures in real combat within a single year. Pakistan's HQ-9B batteries got blindsided and wrecked by Indian drones and strikes in Operation Sindoor, May 2025. Four days of punishment, zero effective intercepts. Venezuela's Chinese radars saw nothing—literally zero detections—when 150 U.S. aircraft rolled in during the 2026 intervention. Total blackout. Iran's defenses, likely featuring HQ-9 variants, collapsed in hours under U.S.-Israeli assault. Tehran sites hit hard, intercepts almost nonexistent. Three different buyers. Three different wars. One embarrassing result: the system folded like cheap cardboard. Unbattle-tested PLA gear (no major war since 1979), water-filled dummy missiles exposed in corruption purges, and over 100 senior officers sacked tell the real story. Beijing's export miracle is a mirage. Nations that shelled out billions for Chinese "protection" now own the world's most notorious paper tiger. What a disaster. 1 Like |

White liberal woman paints her face black. ( blackface) Triggering the left . , São Paulo state deputy Fabiana Bolsonaro (PL) took the floor at the Alesp assembly on March 18, 2026, to protest the appointment of trans activist Erika Hilton (PSOL-SP) as chair of the federal Women's Rights Commission. "I am a white woman. [...] I have had the privileges of a white person throughout my entire life. Now, at 32 years old, I decide to put on makeup, to dress up as a Black person, to paint myself [...] and to recognize myself as Black. Have I become Black now? Am I feeling the pain of a mother who has a son who suffers everything he suffers on the street for being Black? Isn't that it? Isn't that the fight? I am painted Black on the outside. I identify as Black. So why can't I preside over the anti-racism commission? Why can't I take care of this agenda? Because I am not Black." She then pivoted to the core issue at hand: "I am a woman. It doesn't help to dress up as a woman. I'm not here to offend transgender people, quite the contrary, I am saying I am a woman, I want to be seen as a woman. ...A trans person has to be respected, yes. But I also don't want any trans person to take my place." The stunt sparked predictable outrage from progressive lawmakers, who cried racism and transphobia while calling for investigations and her removal. Political correctness ruining the society. A woman has a vagina. Period. Meanwhile in America Senate democrats BREAKING: Senate Democrats just BLOCKED legislation to ban men in women’s sports, 49-41 The amendment would have added the Trump-backed provision blocking federal funds to schools letting males compete in women’s sports.

A regime hiding underground in caves demands the following for war to end. - Ironclad guarantees the war never restarts - Permanent closure of all US military bases across the Middle East - Full financial compensation from the US and Israel for every bit of damage inflicted - Immediate halt to all regional conflicts, including operations against Iran's proxy forces - A completely new legal framework for the Strait of Hormuz that puts Iran firmly in control - Extradition of individuals from "hostile media" outlets to face Iranian justice They have been given 48 hours to open the Straits lest all their power plants get blown up. 1 Like |

feedthenation:I post for my records. I believe 2020 was stolen and as stated , truth can never be hidden forever. Regarding oil. 20 million barrels per day transit Hormuz. Iran and Russia sanctioned oil tankers hold around 140 + 120 million barrels and are out at sea. That's about 260 million barrels of oil that will now be injected without any sanctions into the global economy. This should compensate about 2 weeks of normal daily supply that is blocked from transiting the Straits. Add the US reserves of 170 million barrels plus EUs for a total of 400 million barrels. You are looking at 660 million barrels of oil being released , about a months supply to accommodate the shortfalls in global supply chain. Point is sanctioned Iranian and Russian oil will help alleviate the oil prices in the short term. That's my reasoning, would be helpful to know yours, though you never respond when defeated. |

In 2020 Dominion Rigging Machines in Colorado were accessed remotely from their office in Serbia. The Belgrade office is the Dominion Software Development team. Mass calls for the release of Tina Peters coming in after Forensic testimony about voting machines indicates alleged fraud in Colorado Democrat officials in Colorado are refusing to release the former Mesa County Clerk, despite President Trump's demands. In fact all 66 lawmakers in the state wrote a letter to the governor urging Jared Polis to keep her behind bars. She's serving a 9-year-prison sentence after she said she was trying to preserve evidence of election fraud in the voting machines used in the 2020 election. She was convicted on seven counts after allowing an unauthorized computer expert to image hard drives on the county's voting machines, before they could be wiped by a state mandated update. In a recent deposition of former Dominion executive Eric Coomer in the defamation case Coomer v. Byrne, Coomer admitted that Dominion had a software development team in Serbia and that Serbian employees had the ability to remotely connect to systems at Dominion's Denver headquarters. Coomer denied that the access extended to field-deployed voting machines in jurisdictions during elections. “Is Dominion able to remotely connect to these election systems?” “Yes.” “Are they able to do that without detection?” “Yes.” “Are you aware of any instances in which that has occurred?” “Yes.” “Can you identify those instances?” “One would be the Denver, Colorado, server.” Forensic experts and data analysts have long alleged that Dominion Voting Systems machines were compromised during the 2020 presidential election with claims of remote access from overseas and massive vote manipulation. Those allegations are now amplified by new details being revealed during ongoing litigation. The main claims trace back to sworn testimony right after the election, and are back in the spotlight again in the 2025-2026 court filings. Forensic experts testified under oath that: 🔺️ Dominion systems in Gwinnett County, Georgia - Colorado - Michigan - and other swing states were remotely accessed from Belgrade, Serbia, by Serbian nationals during the 2020 election. 🔺️Allegations that Dominion deleted 2.7 million Trump votes nationwide. 🔺️Data analysis found 221,000 Pennsylvania votes switched from President Trump to Biden. 🔺️Another 941,000 Trump votes were allegedly deleted. 🔺️States using Dominion Voting Systems switched 435,000 votes from Trump to Biden. 🔺️Dominion maintains that they have done nothing wrong and the claims are false. 🔺️The remote access allegations tie into emails and depositions involving Dominion executives, including former product strategy director Eric Coomer. |

Google News Caught Red-Handed: Only 2% Right-Leaning Stories in February Google News just exposed its blatant leftist bias once again. A new Media Research Center study shows that in February 2026, out of 487 top morning stories from rated outlets, a pathetic 11—just 2%—came from right-leaning sources. That's 314 stories from left-leaning outlets dominating the feed while conservatives got almost completely shut out. For 17 full days, zero right-leaning articles made the cut. The handful that slipped through? Mostly Daily Mail, Fox News, New York Post, and The Bulwark—barely a whisper compared to the flood of liberal takes. This isn't an algorithm glitch. It's deliberate suppression. Google reaches hundreds of millions and chooses to starve them of balanced views, pushing the left's narrative while pretending to be neutral. |

My thoughts. Iran has no army or navy that can fight the USA or America. All they have are thousands of drones and missiles hidden deep underground, which are hidden in mountainous regions . They can't fight a ground war if they were to be invaded. They can only plant mines to disrupt shipping. They have totally blocked internet , threatened any protesters will be treated like the enemy so we don't know if it's only 1% supporting the regime. They seem prepared to take the whole world down before they go. 3 Likes |

Why don't you say simply state that Iran have developed ballistic missiles capable of reaching Europe When Europe is asked for help they dithered,which means they are simply not dependable. Future plans for Iran would be fitting a nuclear warhead to a ballistic missile then threatening Europe to pay them billions for their previous sanctions . The European would pay up to prevent Iran from bombing their beautiful cities. Alamkiir: 1 Like |

Russia and China secretly helping Iran. Hundreds of Chinese may be trapped in underground cities whose entrances were sealed by American and Israel bombs. https://x.com/jenniferzeng97/status/2033911148764897608 Discern Report Home Style Opinions Russia and China Are More Involved in the War in Iran Than Most People Realize by Michael Snyder March 20, 2026 China Russia Iran Discern Report (End of the American Dream)—It appears that Iran is quietly getting quite a bit of help from Russia and China. As you will see below, it is being alleged that China is mass producing drones for the Iranians, and one report is claiming that hundreds of Chinese military and technical personnel are “feared dead or slowly suffocating” because they were hiding in underground bunkers that have been destroyed by U.S. and Israeli airstrikes. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal is claiming that Russia has been sharing technology with the Iranians and has been providing targeting information for their drone and missile strikes. It seems that Russia and China are more involved in the war in Iran than most people realize, and that should deeply alarm all of us. I am about to share some information with you that absolutely shocked me when I first came across it. Independent journalist Jennifer Zeng claims to have access to intelligence that comes from a former senior Chinese official that still has high level access. According to this source, hundreds of military and technical personnel that had been sent to help the Iranians defeat the U.S. and Israel are “now trapped in underground bunkers with zero communication”. The following is the complete report that Zeng has posted on X… Fresh intelligence from inside the Chinese Communist regime reveals a far larger disaster than previously known: at least seven technicians from Chinese drone maker DJI were killed in U.S.-Israeli airstrikes on Iran, while 300 to 400 Chinese military and technical personnel are now trapped in underground bunkers with zero communication — many feared dead or slowly suffocating. The information comes directly from a former senior CCP official, relayed through Canadian writer and dissident Sheng Xue @ShengXue_ca. The bunkers, which Beijing and Tehran had touted as “absolutely safe,” were hit with devastating precision after Iranian insiders leaked their exact coordinates to Israel. What was meant to shield key assets has become a mass grave for Chinese advisors embedded deep in Iranian military sites. Adding to the confirmed deaths of three elite radar experts from CETC’s 14th Research Institute in Nanjing — whose bodies were completely vaporized in the opening U.S. bombing wave — the scale now points to a catastrophic failure of Xi Jinping’s covert support for Iran. These three specialists, Beijing’s self-proclaimed “best” for countering American F-35 and F-22 stealth fighters, died alongside Iranian personnel with no remains recoverable. Families of the Nanjing trio have been summoned to the CCP’s Organization Department for “post-incident handling.” Compensation is promised, though the figure is still undisclosed. The regime’s standard playbook — large hush-money payments to buy silence — is already in motion. No official statement has come from China’s Foreign Ministry, Defense Ministry, or state media. The blackout is total, as Beijing refuses to admit its personnel are dying in a foreign war it publicly denies involvement in. This unfolding tragedy is a brutal public humiliation for Xi. President Trump’s strikes have exposed China’s reckless proxy role in propping up Iran’s collapsing defenses, while European elites — protecting their vast hidden stakes in Iranian oil — seethe at the disruption to their globalist networks. Hundreds of Chinese lives hang in the balance, buried alive in foreign bunkers, paid off in silence money, and erased by the world’s most efficient censorship apparatus. Xi’s gamble has turned deadly — and the body count is still rising. (Solely based on updated, firsthand information from Sheng Xue via her CCP-regime source — a former senior official with current access. No speculation or invention 2 Likes |
