The Polish army is conducting a special operation "Safe West" on the border with Germany, said the head of the Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Kosinyak-Kamysh:

"At the same time, we are expanding our activities on the border with Lithuania..…
Five thousand soldiers are ready to act. We are strengthening security - we are responding decisively to migration threats."
Starting today, Poland has introduced temporary border controls with Germany and Lithuania, which will remain in effect for 30 days. And President Duda stated in one of his recent speeches that Warsaw "will not solve the problem of illegal migrants instead of Germany."

Confirmation from Pez himself in his Tucker interview that Israel did attack a government meeting spot with the desire of taking out the political hierarchy.

An Iran-Israel rematch is certain.
Israel will not be able to sleep with both eyes closed after its failed attempt at regime change, so it'll have to try again.

We were told some days ago that Israel agreed the peace deal. Then we learned that Hamas accepted the deal, only to hear that Israel was reviewing the same deal, and now this.

As they say, the devil is in the details.
hamas agreed to their own version of the deal.......not the initial deal


Thank you

JUST IN: Seyed Hossein Mousavian, former Iranian Ambassador to Germany and ex-nuclear negotiator:

Russia didn’t provide Iran with Su-35 fighter jets or the S-400 defense system, despite Iran being under threat for decades from nuclear powers like the U.S. and Israel — and ultimately attacked by them.

Yet, Russia offered India — a U.S. ally — 117 Su-35Ms and joint Su-57 production with full tech transfer.

This isn’t a criticism of Moscow; it’s acting in its strategic interest. If Türkiye (a NATO member) or Saudi Arabia (a U.S. ally) request Su-35s, Su-57s, or S-400s, Russia would likely agree.

Maybe this reality helps Tehran better understand international relations and the true nature of national interests
This is what I was saying yesterday when I said; "wetin Iran do Russia?" a lot of people had came up with different theories of why Russia is not giving their ad and fighter jets to iran, i believe I won't be the only one here to say, it not making sense. What type of international relations is this?

Satanyahu is divine punishment.

By the time the Israelis realize how much damage he has done, it'll be too late.
And it may just be the catalyst to getting Israel to become a better neighbor.

It's like the US starting all these fires.
And Trump introducing a 10% tariff on BRICS+ and partners.

⚡Another vessel has come under attack near Yemen.

UKMTO reports a ship was struck by multiple RPGs from small craft, roughly 51 nautical miles west of Al Hudaydah.

Yemeni sources say the Houthis (Ansarallah) used a drone to strike the ship’s engines, causing them to malfunction and the vessel to drift.

Security firm Ambrey reports two crew members have been injured, and two others are missing from the targeted Liberian-flagged vessel.

If Iran is still trusting Putin or Russia, then I don't know what else to say. If Netanyahu succeeded in taking out the political leadership. We will see nothing but strong condemnation from Putin. Nothing more.
I guess the Ayatollah was present in that meeting.

I think Iran should not close the door for negotiation, continue in diplomacy while they fully fortify themselves for the battle ahead. Use negotiation and ceasefire to buy time.

DeathParade:
The "latest bust" in the Indian Kaveri jet engine program is hardly latest. Its not even recent. This happened 17 years ago, in 2008. The program hasn't been properly funded since then.

This news is just some journalist with a vested interest grasping at straws to push his agenda by putting 17 years old wine in new bottle.

IRL, the Indian jet engine program is currently undergoing a possible renaissance. Trump's general unpredictability and the recent shifts in global geopolitics have put indigenous supply chains and self reliance in focus. Government of India is, for the first time ever, considering encoding Technology sovereignty into the official Indian policy and national goal, similar to the Indian quest for Energy sovereignty

In that context, consider that USA is in a position to seriously affect four Indian fighter jet programs: LCA Tejas Mk1A. MWF Tejas Mk2. ADA AMCA and ADA TEDBF. All four of these are powered by American GE 404 and GE 414 jet engines. USA has been delaying delivery of the GE 404 and the contract to produce the GE 414 in India has also not been signed yet. All this at a time when Indian Air Force fighter fleet is in dire need of new fighter jets due to the old fighters retiring. IAF has a sanctioned strength of 42.5 fighter jet squadrons in order to take on both China and Pakistan at the same time (as per official policy). But IAF has fallen to 31 active fighter squadrons right now. And almost half the remaining squadrons are slated for retirement in the next 10 years. And at this time, the only hope of IAF are the four Indian jet programs I mentioned. And all four are at the mercy of Uncle Sam and his GE engines.

This is making the government of India reconsider the decision that it took in 2008: The decision to stop the Kaveri engine program for fighter jets.

All this is happening as the Kaveri Derivative Engine (a dry, non afterburning variant of the Kaveri is currently undergoing flight tests on a flying testbed). This engine is meant to power the Ghatak stealth UCAV of India.

The problem in the afterburner section of the Kaveri engine back when the program was shut down was flow instability and screech. These have recently been solved by the GTRE. Additionally, DMRL has recently achieved good progress in the Technology of multilayer Thermal Barrier Coatings that can make the Kaveri engine hit some of its performance figures.

If the Indian government decided to fund a family of Indian jet fighter engines today, we'll have an 4th generation Indian jet engine certified for flight ops within 10 years. That is still 10 years of dependency on Uncle Sam, but still better than nothing.

Now, the Russian offers have another angle. Su 35 will never be accepted, the IAF is looking for 120-odd medium class jets. Su 35 is Heavy class, same as Su 30 MKI that we already fly. Makes exactly zero sense to go for the Su35.

The big one is Su 57. India's own stealth jet, the ADA AMCA, is hostage to American pressures. And its late. Su 57 is the only stealth jet India can buy as a stop gap. The real threat is from PLAAF fielding stealthy J20 and J35 against us. Pakistan is also slated to get J35 soon, but that threat is still manageable without relying on Su 57. But the Chinese threat is a different story. It will be almost impossible to fight the Chinese properly without a stealth jet of our own, be it the ADA AMCA or the Su57.
Look at this one deceiving himself. You better accept that Russia deal, otherwise, English won't save you the next time Pakistan hits you hard.
Don't even think about China — China is not your mate. Just quietly focus on Pakistan.

Lavrov is coming out today to say Russia is willing to sell enriched uranium to Iran.

He has not delivered more Su-35s that Iran paid for. Or S-400s.
But he has enriched uranium to sell.
Did anyone ask him for enriched uranium?

The Kremlin has badly bungled this Iran issue.
Can't even stick to one "Iran has the right to a peaceful nuclear program" talking point.

Thank heavens Iran does not need Russia's help for any part of its missile or nuclear program.

Did you see me respond to his novel.

In all of it, he still admitted their indigenous jet engine program is on ice.

But they're in between thoughts on turning to the US for engine technology or Russia.
That's their cup of tea.

WritterNg:

Nah.
It's the typical fluidic crap Putin has been pulling throughout his Presidency.
The only reason he is insisting on a permanent resolution in Ukraine is because he knows the security establishment will not accept anything less and if he tries to force it he'll pay the ultimate price.
Prigozhin was the warning.
Else, he'd have already signed a Minsk 3.

Go look for Putin statements during the recent India-Pakistan conflict.
India is a long-term permanent ally.
Even when India was saying mediation was not yet on the table. Putin, who is supposed to be India most powerful, dependable ally was ranting about being a mediator. Couldn't coordinate on simple messaging with an ally from Soviet times.
End of the day, both sides ignored him and Trump did the mediation.

We're having a replay with Iran.
Bothsidesism is repulsive.
Pick a side. Stick to it. Or stay away.

Russia is building reactors in Iran.
Iran is currently enriching uranium for the existing reactor Russia built in Iran.
Russia is now talking about selling enriched uranium to Iran.
After failing to supply jets Iran paid for.

Tell me if that makes sense.
It is not even about betrayal.
It is about whether anyone above the age of 5 should be reasoning this way.
That enrichment statement is silly, no ifs, ands, or buts.

I am only quoting an IDF video I watched and news platforms on social media.. My assertion has a backing of "substance" i got it from a source that can be veted upon and it authenticity can be checked if the claim is true or false.

Yours is simply imagination, pure fantasy, Ten planes refused to drop their payloads, Israeli jets were nearly shut down and your source is a just "Israeli media"... Israeli media is a broad term, that itself shows lack of authenticity.
.
Lmao 😂😂😂 You cannot mock me for reporting what a Yemeni official said and expect me to excuse you for posting blatant lies from the IDF. As if that is not enough, you posted a 2024 picture and insisted that it was the ship that Israel sank yesterday in your dreams. You should have verified the claim and picture before coming here to preach what you do not practice.

As you said, 'Israel media' is a broad phrase and sometimes they take random quotes from pro-Israel telegram groups and pass it off as statements from officials. I will be more careful next time.
