With your very own hand, you wrote "officially" here. I don't want to hear stories in 2 weeks time about how something that became strategically important suddenly became strategically unimportant again.

I directly asked you how many weeks we should give you before we regard it as another failed offensive and you became mute like someone struck with thunderbolt.

This is the second week you have been giving yourself false hopes and dreams of conquering Pokrovsk. You have been avoiding several call outs since you bought and finished your popcorn when the FAB you dreamt will land refused to land again.

Now, you have taken a drink again from the pool of commander Adamu's well of propaganda and boasting again about how you will destroy this and that. No problem. Me, your nemesis will be here.

You have two weeks to officially enter the city of Pokrovsk and capture only 20% of it. After then, I will not entertain any other excuse. It's been almost a year you have been turning right, left, front and back over this same Pokrovsk. If anything in your assumption that you call analysis is anything to go by, the whole of Pokrovsk should be down within a month. I am not callous, I am just giving you the respect that okay oo, I am assuming that your analysis over the last one year regarding Pokrovsk is correct. Thus, I am giving you 2 solid weeks to take just 20% of Pokrovsk.

BREAKING:

4 Ukrainian fighter jets unintentionally entered Romania's airspace this morning as they were dispersing their planes from Ukrainian airfields during a major Russian drone and missile attack against western Ukraine.

Four Ukrainian Su-27 fighter jets unintentionally crossed into Romanian airspace in Suceava and Maramureș counties on July 21, 2025, during a massive Russian drone and missile attack targeting western Ukraine’s airfields. The Romanian Ministry of National Defence confirmed the incursion, which lasted several minutes around 3:00 AM, was unintentional as Ukraine scrambled to disperse its aircraft to avoid destruction. “The jets posed no threat to national security,” the ministry stated, noting two Romanian F-16s and two Italian Eurofighter Typhoons were deployed to monitor the situation, landing back at their bases by 7:00 AM, per Romania Insider.

A Romanian man filmed a Ukrainian Su-27 flying over Gura Putnei in Suceava county.
The Romanians say the intrusion was deemed involuntary and quickly managed.

One of them said their "expert opinions" doesn't come with a stated time frame, so your two weeks deadline isn't feasible to our "knowledgeable" colleague, You might as well give the Russ two thousand years to capture 5% of Pokrovsk.

Given their history, China probably understand the importance military might more than any other country, and they understand how the West perceives them. One would think it is some kind of dystopian hellhole run by monsters bent on dominating the world. Are they building infrastructure and giving out cheap loans with no humiliating conditions? Accuse them of colonialism. Are they deradicalizing elements of their population? Accuse them of genocide. Did they lift 800 million people out of poverty? Yeah, but they're still dictators. All these accusations from people that have no problem with the IMF, Israel, and Gulf countries. They're just desperate to perpetuate their global dominance.

Allowing Russia to fail would be a go-ahead for the West to channel all of its resources into sabotaging China. I can't say much about Brazil and India, but China will continue to give Russia all the support it needs.

I don't think China have even offered any support to Russia since the war began, their Foreign Minister confirmed it weeks ago. He said if China had assisted Russia, the war would have ended a long time ago.

What the west calls "support" is simply Russia buying stuffs from China and China buying Russian oil and gas. Simply TRADE!

They don't want both nations to trade with each other at all.

Ukraine buys tech products from China, the whole EU buys tech from China, the United States buys 70% of its tech from China. It's as easy as placing an order on Alibaba.

Every single component Ukraine uses to assemble it's drones and missiles comes from China. Even the most critical components of US stealth fighter jets like F-35, F-22, B-21 comes from China.


All the rare earth minerals used in the US most sophisticated weapons systems comes from China.

The rest of the world buys literally everything China produces.

Going by their logic, China is supporting and assisting Ukraine & US/NATO in their war against Russia.

⚡India Retires Its MiG-21 Jets After 62 Years

India’s legendary MiG-21 fighter jets, in service since 1963, will officially retire on September 19, 2025, with a ceremony at Chandigarh airbase.

Operated by the 23 Squadron “Panthers,” the MiG-21 played a role in every major conflict since 1965—including the Kargil War and the 2019 Balakot strikes.

Once India’s first supersonic fighter, the MiG-21 earned both fame and infamy, nicknamed the “Flying Coffin” due to over 200 pilot deaths. Its long life was extended due to delays in fielding replacements like the Tejas Mk1A.

With its retirement, the IAF’s active combat squadrons drop to 29, the lowest since the 1960s.

Officially presented as a messaging and services platform, Max reportedly enables extensive surveillance of users’ communications, financial activity, locations, and internet browsing.

A less talked about secondary reason for the ongoing Western push for a ceasefire is that famine has started in Gaza.
It will become widespread in the coming weeks without a ceasefire.
No Western politician wants to be associated with the sickening images that'll emerge.

Yesterday's 25 countries statement and Trump publicly insisting on a ceasefire is them trying to get ahead of it.
They plan on placing the blame squarely on Satanyahu if the famine expands and we start seeing severely malnourished kids.

Tihanovsky, released from a Belarusian prison, stated that in case of "failure in the fight against the Lukashenko regime," Belarusians could create autonomous enclaves in Lithuania.

Lithuania was a bit shocked by this idea. The head of the parliamentary defence committee, Gedrimas Eglinskas, called such ideas "shocking and threatening to Lithuania's national security."

The head of the foreign affairs committee, Remigijus Motuzas, stated that there will be no "Belarusian islands" in the republic, and only assimilation is possible.
Judging by the recent scandals with Tikhanovsky, it seems that the Belarusian authorities deliberately released "their agent" to discredit the opposition.

It's India. The jets have passed their shelf life for decades now. They've been out of production since 1985/86.

Turning them into drones is just converting them into a new problem. Not worth it.

Those jets are also interceptors which makes them useless against boko. Even NAF doesn't use the J7 (it's more modern version) against boko and reply on light attack, ground attack, and multirole jets instead.

They should be scrapped or sold/transferred to private owners and museums.

No African country will buy them either. For context, Nigeria phased out their Mig 21s in the early 2000s and replaced them with the F7/J7, which is the Chinese-made version of the jet. Multiple countries did same too.

But India kept them in service because it didn't have their replacements yet. (They weren't on good terms with China, so they clearly weren't getting the J7s.) Guess they decided to just do away with the jets once and for all.

Remember that Russia military did not attack Ukraine during all time Kellogg was there, and did not react even when Ukraine president said so.

ALL weapon production facilities Kellogg visited in Ukraine last week have been under attack since by Russian drones and missiles.
Kellog visiting those places with full motorcade is highlighted of the madness, same pattern since, high officials visit to Ukraine always gave Russia military good vibes.

As if the Russians can't track a high profile idiot like that as he travels through Ukronaziland..

They still think Russians live in the wild with bears and don't have any technological know how
