What baffles me is the fact that none of these Western countries condemned Israel for the attack, yet they're spending time calling every Tom, Dick and Harry to help persuade Iran not to respond.

The US is even threatening to fight for Israel if Iran retaliate.

Does this make any sense?
This is why it is good to fight fire with fire.

What countries like Israel and the u.s understands is brute force.
A very powerful one.

This is why no one messes with Russia.

⚛ NUCLEAR EMERGENCY IN POLAND AFTER RUSSIAN KH-47 KINŽHAL HYPERSONIC MISSILE ATTACK:

17 billion cubic meters of natural gas blown up near Lvov.

At dawn, Russia achieved the largest strategic strike in Ukraine in history, when it destroyed the largest underground gas storage in Bilche-Volitsko-Uher in the city of Stryjak near Ľvov with Kh-47 Kinzhal supersonic missiles and Kh-101 cruise missiles, along with 17 billion cubic meters stored gas.

The attack came from three different sides. The destruction of natural gas, combined with Russia's inability to supply new gas, means that Ukraine is "done" from an energy perspective.


A total of eight MiG-31 fighters carrying Kinzhal and Kh-101 aircraft hit the stack, causing a nuclear-like mushroom cloud visible from Poland, 100 km from the Ukrainian border.

The tank was located at a depth of 50 meters from the surface of the earth, which did not prevent Kinžal from going through the stony ground "like a knife through butter" and exploding into the tank.

In Poland, radiation measurements began after what initially appeared to be a nuclear attack there, but this has not been confirmed.

The country currently has less than half of its gas reserves, and after the destruction of the reservoir, it cannot even be supplied from the European market.
let them buy from America... the beautiful this is that before patriots defense will reach Ukraine, Russia would have taken out all strategic assets

There are several rules of engagement.

Remember when Iran struck Pakistan?
Did Pakistan wait for weeks before they respond?

Yes, they're calculating the retaliation for any strike that'll be coming from the Israellis, this is why they need a deterrence and they need it fast.
Time is running and if Iran thinks they can stand the west like Russia is doing then they're mistaken.

I agree. Fast and hard. They should make them think twice before doing something stupid next time

Stop this absurd comparison.

Show me one power generating facility that modern Ukraine built?
Everything that Ukraine have was built and financed by Russia.
From the Russian empire to the Soviet Russia.
Everything.

In as much as a despise the Nigerian government and their lack of vision, I still won't make such comparison.

How is it absurd. Is power rocket science?

No. The projects were built by ussr. USSR was a centralized government so, it can't be attributed to the Russians alone.

⚡️ UK hands over two Royal Navy minesweepers to Ukraine

The minesweepers have already arrived in Portsmouth, where their crews are undergoing training to prepare them for operations in the Black Sea.

The Sandown-class warships, HMS Grimsby and HMS Shoreham, have been decommissioned from the Royal Navy and handed over to the Ukrainian military. They will now operate under the names Chernihiv and Cherkassy.

Isreal has the capacity to invade bro. They have taken a chunk of syria, egypt was not spared before isreal was begged to return back sinai peninsula.
Isreal will invade any country around her with the backing of US bro.
And iran can be defeated if her air force is not strong....air is the war bro
Gardaffi will still be alive if the fighting was just ground battle but libya space was closed-off from him.
He couldn't use his airforce because all his planes, run ways for take-offs of military jets were closed and any attempt to fly would be blown.
And if you can't fly, they will keep pounding you to pieces while you can't even use your jet to go buy weapons or transfer weapons from one point to another.
Critical infrastructures would be blown off - power plants throwing the country into darkness, water works and dams to render the country on stand still, telecommunication facilities to throw the whole country out of calls and data while they pound it to ancient ages without evidence to upload on internet, bridges would be blown off to stop military movements and weapon logistics, airport and sea ports would be blown off to render you useless taking weapons through sea or air likewise food for your people.
They will crumble you in everywhere...economically, militarily etc everywhere that after finishing with you, it will take ages before you can come back to your initial point e.g Libya
bro, these guys are very very brutal and wicked. The evidences are just too much that it is hard defending them honestly

It sounds simple and appealing in theory, but the reality of war is far more complex. While you highlighted countries that have been devastated by such tactics and didn't recover, you overlooked those that did survive such bombings. Additionally, it's worth noting that while the combination of Israel and the US may possess significant military capabilities, Iran is not as vulnerable as Libya to intimidation. Even smaller countries like Yemen have endured heavy bombing and continue to grow. Furthermore, Iran's lack of a border with Israel means that any attack it faces, Israel will likely face in return, especially in terms of air strikes.

London plans to introduce the new weapon into its army by 2027. But its prototypes could be sent to Ukraine even sooner, British Defence Secretary Grant Shapps says.

What makes DragonFire special is its cheapness. It is said to cost £10 per shot.

FoolishBoy419:


I read that part pretty well and I appreciate that you are willing to admit that the West goofed.

But I still maintain that religion and Arab culture are weak factors in the greater scheme of things. Saudi Arabia, Qarar, and the rest take religion just as seriously as the other regions. In fact, for the most part of the 20th century, Iran and Afghanistan were heavily westernized. Their women wore mini skirts and danced in beaches unlike in the gulf states until the West started interfering. Were the Taliban and Al Qaeda members not in living Afghanistan before this period? They were, but they had no power until someone paved way for them

Every society has monsters living among it and you only need to create the right conditions (anarchy, wars, etc) for them to rise and cause havoc with or without religion. They are using religion because everyone needs something to hang onto to justify his madness. Hitler didn't say he wanted to kill all Jews because he simply hate them. He cooked up excuses. The brainwashed foot soldiers might believe they are doing it for Allah or whoever, but their leaders know what's up.

The other areas you are talking about have not seen too much post-war violence because the West didn't do enough. In Southeast Asia and America, they directly intervened against North Korea, Vietnam, and others. They didnt arm one country against the other and in situations where they did (North Korea and South Korea), there's conflict similar to what we see in thr Middle East.
But they toppled too many regimes and armed different terrorists disguising as rebels multiple times to take out governments they don't like. They've bombed too many regions and favored certain sides in a conflict that needed sincere mediation from unbiased third parties. The people that love to sanction others for human rights played dumb for decades as Israel continuously escorted settlers with soldiers to seize homes from territories that had been designated for Palestinians by the United Nations. They don't care that these people were being murdered daily but one reaction (Oct 7) and they were all over the news portraying Palestinians as violent muslims that want nothing but the end of Israel. Look at how they are threatening Iran now while totally overlooking Israel's actions. How can any place on earth face these wide array of issues and not be on fire?

If you took out the oil in the middle East and moved it to Southern Africa and then let's say miraculously, those African leaders are not corrupt, You'll end up seeing different terrorist groups made of bloodthirsty Africans forming there.

Nicely put
