“Iran engineered the war in Gaza in order to destroy the progress Saudi Arabia was making in normalizing relations with Israel.

Iran is a country that sponsors terrorism, and it should have been stopped a long time ago.

Any suspicious object that enters Saudi Arabian airspace is intercepted.”

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos said Monday the United States would not be given access to more Philippine military bases.

Marcos’s remarks came days after a trilateral summit between the United States, Japan and the Philippines in Washington where tensions over the disputed South China Sea were high on the agenda.

The Philippines is a major focus of US efforts to strengthen regional alliances due to its proximity to the waterway and self-ruled Taiwan, which China claims as part of its territory.


Manila last year announced the locations of four more military bases it is allowing the US military to use on top of the five agreed on under the 2014 Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement, known as EDCA.

The deal allows US troops to rotate through and store defence equipment and supplies.

“The answer to that is no. The Philippines has no plan to open or to establish more EDCA bases,” Marcos said in response to an AFP question about whether there would be more EDCA sites.

Going to Poland is even too far. Even in Ukraine, it would be a declaration of war. Nations like the US and many others keep military personnel in their embassies. Especially in hotspot locations. It's part of a nation's sovereign right to do with its territories, and it's one of the unwritten rules that you don't touch the embassy of another nation, not even in the host country by the host government. Netanyahu just think he can do anything and get away with it. Well, he was been warned.
The obvious double standard is killing me

⚡As the Israeli War Cabinet is meeting today, Officials have stated that Israeli Government and Military Officials are still Determined to Respond to Iran’s Attack on Saturday Night against Israel, though the Scope of a Strike and its Timing are still being Heavily Debated; a Option that is being considered is a Strike against an Iranian Military Facility or a Group of Facilities, possibly related to Iran’s Nuclear or Long-Range Missile Programs, that would “Send a Message” without causing Significant Casualties.

Niger and China sign crude oil MOU worth $400 mln, says Niger state TV

Niger has signed a memorandum of understanding with Chinese state-owned oil giant China National Petroleum Corp (CNPC) worth $400 million linked to the sale of crude oil from its Agadem oilfield, Niger state television RTN reported late on Friday.

RTN did not provide details on the agreement. Niger's military authorities and CNPC could not be reached for comment.

"China is a great friend to Niger; we can never say it enough," Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance Ali Mahaman Lamine Zeine said at the signing ceremony, which was broadcast by RTN.


"This signature demonstrates the friendship ... and fruitful cooperation between the two states," Chinese ambassador Jiang Feng said.

An export pipeline project backed by CNPC subsidiary PetroChina was officially launched last November, linking the Agadem oilfield to the port of Cotonou in neighbouring Benin.

The right word is "respond" not retaliate.
Israel can also use "attack again", or to hit Iran with an "unprovoked attack".

Iran is the one with the right to use the word "retaliate".

Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel of Australia recently talked about his visit to the Gaza strip. It made Zionists angry.

They started a campaign of cancelling the Bishop

One thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/OrthodoxChristianity/comments/1afipcc/beware_of_nestorian_tik_tok_bishopmar_mari/

Today the Bishop was stabbed multiple times in front of his congregation while preaching in far-away Australia.

"Pure coincidence"
Zionism is a cult. The West saw their actions and Hitler wanted to stop them but the rest of the world didnt understand him.

So their friends decided to move them out of Europe to Middle east just to protect themselves, now that this evil cult have their own country on a stolen land and have grown to become bold and more vile.

Anyone that speaks against them is trailed and killed if they can't cancel him or her socially.

Seems alot still don't understand these people.

Appleyard:
You are so right.

Many people reason out of pure emotions and religious affiliations. This is geopolitics, not some domestic tribal or religious war. cool

Anyone that says Iran fell into Israeli and American plan to drag them out for a full-scale war is myopic.

Most people don't even know how weak the US has become in the Middle East. You only have to look at how majority of the key state players in the region aided and abetted Russia the moment western sanctions flies in. Qatar refused the attempt to get it to fill the gap left by Russia in the oil and gas supply to Europe, and to the ire of the US and the EU, Saudi Arabia even went ahead to buy Russian oil and reselling them at hire prices. The US waning influence was even more underscored when China got Iran and Saudi Arabia to restart diplomatic and bilateral relations.

What many people here don't know is that, Israel will not survive a full fledged regional war with Iran on the driving seat. If it was easy to attack, invade and destroy Iran, they could have done it many years ago. Each time they gamed the scenario, it turned out to be a disaster. The casualties level for the US and Israel was unimaginable.

And the Saturday's retaliatory attack by Iran has further underscored what real geopolitical minds like us have known for a long time. Let me explain.

Last Saturday, Iran proved that it can slice through what many described as the most densest air defense coverage in the world, penetrating all Israeli and NATO manned missile Shields. This included capabilities that formed the benchmark of the whole Western alliance; from advanced SIGINT to C4ISR to Patriot, THAAD, Iron Dome, C- Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow-3, and SM-3, plus the involvement of the West’s most advanced A2A defenses flown from F-35s, Typhoons, Eurofighters, and sea-based Allen Burke Class missile destroyers and more.

The fact that much of that Iranian volley included slow moving missiles and drones (except for the few ballistic missiles), yet managed to penetrate Israel's defences, especially with the spectacular view of missiles flying over the Knesset, is a rude awakening to war-happy Netanyahoo and his genocide war department that Iran isn't a bluff like they think. It gets even scary for them when you realise that, that is just a tip of what Iran has in it's arsenals. And that they can do real big damage if they wanted to.

So, it's in the best interest of America to rein in Israel before they get into a brouhaha they will live to regret for a very long time.

And to those shallow mind pygmies on this thread who delusionally envisioned a situation where God will send angels on chariots of fire to fight on behalf of Israel, well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, the God I know is not unrighteous to defend murderers who intentionally target and destroy civilian buildings, bombed hospitals, bomb aid workers sent on redcross vehicles to rescue the wounded civilians. Continue waiting and hoping that, by blindly supporting Israel in its atrocities God would bless and grant you visa to heaven. cool

You're hellbound. cool
Couldn't agree more.

grin grin grin
Nuclear weapon or not.
No country can conventionally fight with the Russians.

The west are scared of fighting the Russians because their forefathers did and failed miserably.

On the other hand Russia is scared of going to war with the west, because the forefathers of the west tried and failed several times but caused them alot.
But this era is different, Russia now has nukes which is an added level of doom if the west try nonsense.
If Russia decide to strike NATO's delivery route in Poland where weapons come to Ukraine, I swear the west won't do shit.

30+ countries fighting with just one country yet they're scared of coming out directly.

⚡Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN Vasily Nebenzya at an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council on Iran's retaliatory strike on Israel:

"You know very well that an attack on a diplomatic mission is a casus belli under international law. And if Western missions were under attack, you would, without hesitation, take retaliatory measures and prove in this room that you are right. Because everyone, as far as Western missions and Western citizens are concerned, is sacred and must be protected.

And today, in the Security Council, such a parade of hypocrisy and double standards of the West is unfolding, which is even somehow inconvenient to watch.

What happened on the night of 14 April did not happen in a vacuum. Iran’s steps were a response to the shameful inaction of the UN Security Council, a response to Israel’s blatant attack on Damascus, and not the first. Syria is constantly being bombed by Israel."

⚡Zelensky calls on Western countries to protect Ukraine the same way they protected Israel during the recent Iranian missile attack.

“By defending Israel, the free world has demonstrated that this kind of unity is not only possible, but completely effective. The decisive actions of the allies prevented the success of terror and the loss of infrastructure and forced the aggressor to cool down. The same is possible in protecting Ukraine from terror, which, like Israel, is not a NATO member. And this does not require activation of Article 5, only political will is enough.”
