⚡Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa:

Possessing great strength does not necessarily mean achieving victory, just as triumph in one arena does not guarantee success in another. You may be capable of starting a war, but it is not easy to control its outcomes.

This.

75% of the Axis so-called limitations is tied to the Hegemon economic system.
You always have to consider the vast majority of the Global South who are still tightly wound with the default system.

Truth be told, the pace of setting up this system has been slow.
If you want the rest of the Global South to slowly loosen ties with the West, you have to create, validate, and fully back an alternative.
And the core of the Axis, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela should be the ambassadors that sell the alternate system by showing it works.

For instance, thanks to Russia's ability to weather Western sanctions in spite of them stealing $300B and the continued surge in BRICS economies, you can see how long the line was when BRICS started selling application forms.
They have to build on that.

The West has all but declared economic war on the Axis.
The path forward could not be more apparent.

They will have no choice but to speed things up now. I think Mr. Art of the Deal himself is the best opponent they could've hoped for. Before he returned, China had restricted access to Nvidia chips while they were exporting all rare earths to USA. Less than a year into his presidency, he had to remove restrictions on Nvidia chips in exchange for limited access to Chinese magnets, with Samarium excluded 😂. Since 2017, he has done nothing but strengthen Chinese technology.

His attitude is also another big asset for the BRICS. He personifies America's arrogant foreign policy since the end of the cold war. He doesn't pretend to be nice to countries he finds useless, and that will make even those aligned with US consider alternative systems in the long term.

I just hope he doesn't backtrack and then type "Xi and his lackeys CAPITULATED BIGLY" on Truth Social by the time the ultimatum expires grin

This is the absolute truth and once that is achieved, a full-blown Israeli expansionism shall commence. If they can get away with shooting children at points blank range, no one would bat an eye about Israel taking up territories.

Trump is offering Xi semiconductor chips so Xi will allow more rare earth exports which the US will use to build weapons to kill Russians, Iranians, then Chinese.
While threatening to impose 100% tariffs on China for buying Russian oil which it needs to process the rare earth exports that the US is begging for.


It's infuriating when you think about it.

Lawag3 already explained the Druze situation. Some support Syria and some don't. But I give very little damn about that or with Israel's so-called "humanitarian" operation.

My major issue with you is you mentioning Iran. Jolani has already stopped weapons flow to Hezbollah and has also countered Iran's influence in Syria.

So saying Israel is bombing Syria to prevent weapons flow and Iran's influence is really weird, off point, and just another attempt to justify Israel's actions by blaming Iran.

Focus instead on blaming Israel. How can a single country be fighting everyone, and yet, it is the victims that are the problem?

If you're fighting one or two people, it's understandable. But when you're fighting all your neighbors and even your neighbor's neighbor, then maybe you are the problem.
Well the neighbours did all attack Israel then. Syria is attacking the allies of Israel Iran sponsors the enemies of Israel Lebanon harbours Hezbollah then there is Hamas.


When did Israel attack countries under the abraham accords?


So yeah Israel neighbours are the proplem

Its all about business and money bro, US is not dumb like European that will destroy their economy because of a someone they perceive as enemy.
I still say it with my full chest NATO and Russia will never be in any confrontation that will involve US directly with Russia, Neither will US send troops on ground to defend Taiwan against China it's all business, using the fear of war to sell weapons just as big pharma would rather manage a cancer patient than have a cure to it.

US will never send it troops to die for any Baltic state or any former USSR region or matter of fact any nation in Europe. Make them just dey play.

That's why the coalition of the willing has been paralyzed because they couldn't get a US involvement and they keep asking Trump if he will uphold NATO article 5. Mumu people

On July 17, 2025, Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky announced that Russia had returned the remains of 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers and received 19 Russian bodies in exchange.
This humanitarian repatriation is part of a broader agreement made during the second Istanbul peace talks in June, under which Russia has pledged to return up to 3,000 Ukrainian bodies in phases.
Forensic teams in Ukraine will now work to identify the remains and provide closure for families.

Yet they said Ukraine is winning

So in order words, Israel's strikes right now are a mix of immediate humanitarian concern (protecting Druze communities) and broader, long-term strategic calculations (disrupting weapon flows and countering Iranian influence in Syria, all within a carefully calibrated risk of wider conflict)


The above is 23jerryking post!! Can't you comprehend mate??, he said and broader long term strategic calculation
(disruption of weapons and iraninan influence in Syria. Key word here is[/i] Long term!!.

23jerryking is talking about a long term scenario here not the present dynamics currently playing right now, If the Druze militias are decimated in southern Syria, they would be replaced by a Iranian backed militias, The Israeli needs a counter balance to the Syria government, while also making sure iran and her proxies do not breed on syrian soil

Try they read and comprehend, you are not Vic2023.

The following conversations and statements where released by both the Turkish and Syrian side following the phone call by both leaders.

The presidency says Erdogan alleged that Israel’s strikes were “unacceptable and a threat to the entire region,” and Ankara welcomed a ceasefire reached with Syria’s Druze. Sharaa thanked Erdogan for Turkey’s support in protecting Syria’s territorial integrity and sovereignty

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and Syrian leader Ahmed al-Sharaa discussed Israel’s strikes on Damascus through a phone call and the above statements where made.

I didnt know Chinese drones are that good.
Everyone uses Chinese light drones in the Ukraine war.
Both Ukraine and Russia.

We tend to focus on the drone strikes.
Both sides use intermediate one-way drones for that.
For clashes on the frontline, it's all China.
It's not really complicated tech, but DJI has like a 70% global market share.
The light drone platform plays to Chinese manufacturing strengths.

⚡The production of a highly pure substance, germanium tetrachloride, has been launched in Krasnoyarsk, Russia.

Once the production reaches its full capacity, the manufacturer will be able to produce at least 2 tons of the substance annually. This will fully meet the needs of the domestic industry.

Pure germanium tetrachloride is used in the production of blanks, which are subsequently used to create telecommunications and technical fiber optic cables.

For example, it can be used to produce high-quality fiber optic cables for connecting data centers and building 5G network infrastructure.

The United States has notified Switzerland that its order of 5 MIM-104 “Patriot” PAC-3 MSE Surface-to-Air Missile Batteries, which was placed with Raytheon in 2022 with deliveries expected to begin in 2026, will be delayed indefinitely, with the systems meant for Switzerland being redirected to support Ukraine.

All currently available “Patriot” Batteries are being expedited for delivery to a number of countries in Europe, including Germany, Norway, and Romania, who will in turn provide systems they currently operate to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Please am talking about a ceasefire between israel and Syria.

Please the ceasefire brokered by the US was for the Syrian army to withdraw, to halt hostilities between Israel and the Syria government not for some low level bedouin militias.

Like I pointed out earlier, Syria as a country has different factions of militias with different ideas and goals, The ceasefire was for Syria and Israel
