This is disappointing. Ukraine had no chance against Russia when USA/NATO was actively supporting the war against Russia. Now that the war fatigue has set in and USA military attention has shifted away from them to the Middle East, Ukraine should borrow sense and take what little semblance of victory they can get. Pulling out of this Turkey-brokered deal is senseless.

USA cannot keep signing blank cheque to them forever and Russia may never trust them again for any future peace deal to stop the ongoing war.

Funny thing is that Russia is still not a big brother to Iran but rather a big brother to Israel.

Iran is just a strategic partner.
Israel under netanyahu has become something else.
No respect to international law, boastfulness that has never been seen before, just because they have the west in their pockets they think they can misbehave.
I pity those that think God support Israel and doesn't support Iran grin grin
Even in the holy bible, when God was fighting physically for them, he allows their enemy to defeat them in battles, when they go against his will, and that was the era where they were known as the children of God and their enemy where not of God.

By the way, those living in the nation Israel today, don't call themselves Israelites but rather isrealis.
Which are two different people entirely.
The bible make me understand that Israelites are the children of God. i.e: those who served and believed in God.
This name was later modernized as Christians according to the bible.
This name took away the context of demographic and geographical discrimination. No more Jews, no more gentiles, now they're believers and unbelievers.
Once you convert and decide to serve God, you become a Christian which is known is Israelites of old.

Succinctly put.

Vic2023:
Iran closed its nuclear facilities for "security reasons" after attack on Israel

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi told a U.N. Security Council meeting in New York that the Iranian government told IAEA inspectors that all nuclear sites the agency inspects every day were closed on Sunday “for security reasons.”

The facilities were scheduled to reopen Monday. However, Grossi said he had decided not to send inspectors back until the situation was "absolutely calm."

After an attack by Iran using more than 300 UAVs and missiles, Israel is discussing a retaliatory strike. It is assumed that one of the possible scenarios could be an attack against Iranian nuclear facilities.

Israel won't make that mistake I assume, openly attacking Iran nuclear facilities is an impossible tasks.

This is how the UK newspaper Express reports on the flood.

Another fine example of British reporting on absolutely anything to do with Russia.

If you actually read the article, under 1000 homes are flooded.

But Russia is "on the brink of collapse".

If they report on flooding like this, just imagine the quality of the reporting on the war...

Ukraine has adopted a mobilization law. There will be no demobilization. Everyone from 25 to 60 will be recruited into the Armed Forces.

Like someone said understanding this correctly ,that US and NATO only steps in for help in a war with a weak enemy.
Step in directly for Isreali even though they are not in NATO but Ukraine disappeared

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 US Plan to Use Israel to Provoke War with Iran only Works if the World is Convinced the US "Tried to Stop Israel"

▪️Signed/dated US policy regarding containment of/regime change in Iran seeks to provoke a war against Iran the US must appear reluctant to wade into;

▪️There is an entire chapter in the Brookings Institution paper "Which Path to Persia?" titled, "Leave it to Bibi" (Benjamin Netanyahu) - a plan that only works if the US can convince the world it had nothing to do with Israel's attack on Iran;

▪️In reality, the US will have encouraged and enabled an Israeli attack, while having quietly prepared to intervene afterwards;

▪️Current attempts to appear to convince Israel to "deescalate" is a pillar of this policy to provoke war by proxy, not stop war;

Follow The New Atlas on Telegram: https:///brianlovethailand

Actually, I have seen this before, and it has been in the works for years now.

However, I'm confident this would not work for the time being because of the current realities on the ground.

First, the Iranian leadership has an iron grip on internal affairs in the country. Outside provocations would only rally the populace around the Ayatollahs. So, a regime change plot is dead on arrival.

Secondly, Iran is highly advanced in military capabilities, and they have proven that they're not afraid to strike when the need arises. In fact, Iran is the only non-nuclear armed country to have struck targets against three nuclear armed nations without fearing a reprisal. I'm talking about the US base in Iraq, Pakistani terrorist base in Pakistan, and recently, against Israeli bases deep in Israel. Don't you think a nation that has been so embolded in taking such steps have something HIDDEN that most people don't know about? THINK brother. I pray that this current rancour won't cause the west to wake up one day to a disappointing reality per Iran.

Thirdly, many people are not aware that Iran, China, and Russia has a trilateral information sharing agreement that has been in operation for years. I think they started it after seeing what the west led by US and NATO did to Libya. Thus, it would be difficult for any US/Mossad war plot against Iran to go completely clear under the radar.

Another myopic assumption the paper seemed to issinuate is that Israel could be overwhelmingly successful in an attack on Iran, and that the US would be exonerated in the entire region. This is a delusional fallacy.

A direct attack on Iran from Israel would be greeted with instantanious reprisals from Iran and it's numerous proxies, and is going to be 100x more deadlier than what we just saw. Moreover, all US bases and assets in the region would come under massive attacks. In fact, no amount of US covert or overt intervention would prevent Israel from suffering massive destruction if push comes to real wider shoves.

Israel is very vulnerable in that region than a whole lot of people think. A wider war now would drag in players like Egypt and Algeria that are currently seating on the fence. Not to mention the likes of China and Russia under the auspices of the SCO and strategic partnership. This, to me, are too huge a risk that the current US government would even dare to comprehend let alone venture into.

Besides, the economic collapse that would follow such a war would be too unimaginable as such that no amount of money printing can make the Yankees to survive it. In fact, the collective west has a whole lot to lose than what Iran and his proxies stand to lose.

And with elections close by, it would be foolish for the Biden administration to enter a major war with possible massive US casualties.

The current sabber-rattling from the Israel war cabinet right now is purely out of frustration and pressure. Netanyahu is under immense pressure to deliver results. In a matter of weeks he promised to get Hamas eliminated, six months after, he is still there with no concrete results to show for it, except for levelled civilian infrastructures and thousands of dead women and children. Hamas is still firing missiles from Gaza. He knew what he was doing when he targeted that Iranian consulate. He was trying to divert attention from his seemingly failures in the war with Hamas, and he got his wish. But now, if he doesn't play smart, he may end up in a even bigger mess than he envisaged.

That is the US for you.

They brag about how powerful they are yet they need 31 other powerful states to survive or even go to war with any nation.

They brag about how they can project power far across the Pacific when all they literally did was make friends with countries close to the country they plan to invade and use their bases. As in the case of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Pakistan providing the US with bases during the Iraq and Afghanistan invasion.

How can they even be qualified as a world power when they need support from everyone to do anything?

They're just lucky to be protected by 2 oceans.

They've never had anyone bomb their weapons factory and manufacturing plants during a war.


This goes to show that most of the perceived invincibility of America and her allies is hogwash. They are just gang members that go about in groups looking for lone and easy targets.

[b]🇮🇱💥 ISRAEL IS VULNERABLE AND CAN BE DESTROYED AT ANY MOMENT. Any outside observer will make this conclusion if an objective picture of what is happening is needed (which is problematic in the Middle East)

It is already known that Iran launched about 300 missiles and UAVs, nine strikes reached their targets (five at the Nevatim base, four at the Ramon base). Israel declared 99% effectiveness of air defense, in fact it turns out to be 97% (three times the difference). But this number is also evil

🇮🇷 Iran launched only seven hypersonic missiles, all of them hit their targets. That is, in terms of hypersound, Israel has zero efficiency (by the way, Israel has much better air defense than the crests. But they could not cope with the Iranian hypersound, which simply flies quickly. And the crests claim that they shot down the Zircon, which also maneuvers 🇺🇦🤡 Clowns)

In addition, if there were only seven hypersonic ones, then it turns out that Israel missed two "regular" missiles. 🤔 If we exclude from the equation shaheds, which are simple for modern air defense, and take into account that the air base is covered more carefully than other objects, warning about the start of an attack, again it turns out ugly for the Iron Dome[/b]

[b]☝🏻 There is no point in paying attention to the result of the blows. This was a demonstration of Israel’s vulnerability, which Iran also needed to bring under Article 51 of the UN Charter on self-defense (these air bases participated in the attack on the consulate in Syria)

It’s absolutely clear that Iran has more than two or three missiles left for such attacks. At the same time, there is a feeling that Israel acted to the limit of its capabilities (also with the help of a number of allies in the region). The air defense resource of Israel and its allies will run out much faster than Iran’s missiles

🇮🇱🥴 ISRAEL DOES NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO FROM DEFENSE TO ATTACK. There are no missiles or UAVs of the required range, aviation needs to be refueled in the air in order to operate (only the United States has refuelers, which use them for attacks on Iran do not provide)
🚀 Maybe just fire a Jericho rocket, but that’s already a nuclear carrier. This is a transition to an exchange of blows by strategic forces. In the best case scenario, both countries will perish for Israel, although Iran has orders of magnitude more strategic depth for survival

It is important that Iran was supported during the strike by all groups in the region, even Hamas, which focuses on Sunnis and not Shiites. The attack was fully coordinated - the leaders of the movements confirmed their readiness to act under the leadership of Tehran

The most important thing:‼️ Iran has demonstrated its readiness to directly fight and strike Israel
New reality for Tel Aviv
Will this sober up Netanyahu? All the same. Russia will be able to build a beneficial peace for itself in the Middle East, regardless of whether Israel will be there or not[/b]

You are just shouting shut up to everyone who mentioned Israel. you think international politics is about satisfying your unstable emotions. Why do you think most of Iran's nuclear facilities are located in mountainous regions and situated underground inside a mountain? It is to provide protection against potential military strikes. So striking it will be hard, and don't forget that Iran can also strike Isrealis nuclear facility too.

Former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami made a number of statements:

🇮🇷Iran's response to Israel's crime was bold, logical and legal

🇮🇷In the operations of Iranian drones and missiles against Israel, all aspects of the issue were fully taken into account within the framework of clear rules and international legal relations.

🇮🇷The Iranian operation sent a clear signal that Israel should not imagine that if it commits any crime or harm or acts in violation of some international rules and international institutions do not fulfill their legal obligations towards it, then this will remain no answer.


🇮🇷Maintaining security and stability in the region and stopping escalation are Iran's priorities

🇮🇷Iran's operations and the events surrounding them have shown that Iran has the strength and ingenuity necessary to protect its interests and combat aggression and crime.

🇮🇷I hope that peace will come to a region that is in dire need of security and development
