โšกGermany will transfer two Patriots to Ukraine if they are quickly replaced.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius:

We can transfer two of our systems, but not if we do not have reliable guarantees that they will be replaced within, say, six to eight months.
Where are all the patriots and other types and variants of air defence systems Ukraine has received from NATO countries since the beginning of this war? Na wah o.

And Zelensky would come out to say Russia launched 460 drones but our ADs intercepted 459. Now he is still running around to get more air defence systems.

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.
Why the rush to take Pokrovsk? It is not about taking lands, let Pokrovsk come to Russia not Russia go to Pokrovsk, that has been exactly what was stated since the start of the SMO. What that means is, this is not about taking lands but more entering a long protracted war to weaken out the enemy. The combined west here is the enemy for your information. This is way beyond Ukraine. It is a war of attrition.

Remember, Afghanistan what happened there 20 years later. The Afghana people were not even 3% as equipped as the Russia but managed to lure the empire of lies into a war of attrition and the empire*(about 59 countries bombed Afghanistan) lost in the end.

If it took the empire 20 years with all its military junk, can you calculate how long it will take them in Donbass? Why hurry? Time is on Russia's side. BRICS is being perfected. So Russia, China and Iran are winning massively Yet!

Your scribbles shows you are still a juvenile

When the US invaded Afghanistan, the taliban was in power. I hope you remember little one?? The US dislodged the taliban from power, took over kabul the capital, and drove the taliban to the south of the country into neighbouring Pakistan. something your Russia has failed to do, The Kyiv government is still standing till tomorrow, FYI it didn't take the US 20 years to dislodge the Taliban and take control of the entire country, it took just 2 months please get your facts right dude.

The US objectives in Afghanistan wasn't to hold on to territories mate, after a year they had control of 80% of the entire country, the objectives was to remove the capabilities of the terrorist group Al Qaeda and stop the group from using Afghanistan as a breeding place to launch attacks at the US. This was done in the very first few months of the operations

The US conducted elections for the Afghanistan authorities, the US plan to dislodge the Taliban was achieved in two months, they also removed the capabilities of the Al Qaeda group, the terriosts were dislodge and they moved into the mountainous northern region of Afghanistan, Till today the Al Qaeda group dosent have any credible foot print in Afghanistan and her capabilities have been diminished. As I indicated earlier the US had no plans to seize territories, nor stay in the long term, the US plan was to train and armed the "ANA" that is the Afghanistan national army and leave the protection of the country to the ingenious military, same thing the US did in Iraq, train and arm the local military and allow the military take care of the territorial defence of the country, it is just a just a pity that the ANA even when armed with sophisticated weapons refused to defend their country.

So keep your scribbles to yourself the US was never in a war of attrition with the taliban, different war, different style and different objectives

A French Mirage 2000 fighter jet crashed in Volyn, Ukrainian media report.

The pilot managed to eject; this is the first loss of this fighter model by the Ukrainian Air Force.
"There was a failure of the aviation equipment, which the pilot reported to the flight commander.
He then acted correctly, as required in crises, and successfully ejected. The search and rescue team found the pilot, and his condition is stable.
On the ground โ€” no casualties," reported the Ukrainian Air Force.

Anti-government protests are going on in Ukraine right now after Zelenskyy signs the new law that significantly reduces the independence of two key anti-corruption bodies.

Klitschko is joining the anti-Zelensky protests despite the curfew; the protesters in Kyiv do not disperse.

LordAdam16:
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.

-Lord
But it has started now, I have been seeing the horrifying image of malnourished children for almost a week now, some even died yesterday

For now, the images come in trickles.
It will get worse.
Look up malnourished biafran children on Google.

Right now, the Western mainstream media can avoid the images.
When it gets worse, there'll be no escaping it.




Yesterday, reports emerged that Hamas demanded more time to study the latest Israeli proposal.
Hamas negotiators in Doha/Cairo get to discuss, then take it to the Gaza decision makers. The back and forth takes time.
The US was said to have threatened Hamas and said there was no time.
Hamas is still taking its time because conditions are largely in their favor.

If you've followed ceasefire negotiations in the past, you'd notice the difference with this round.
Everyone except Hamas is impatient.
Satanyahu who generally would use Hamas demand of a map withdrawal change to delay negotiations by weeks or months or cancel it altogether has revised the map 4 times in under 14 days.
Even the Central Gaza operation they launched to put pressure on Hamas was called off in 2 days.

This would be the perfect time to end the war and conclude a comprehensive treaty, but the Arab guarantors are ineffectual POS.

This is the only tactic they have left. The blind bombing has failed, and Palestinians have mastered the art of guerilla warfare. Lying to the media about casualty numbers will not change the fact that they're losing troops.

The whole logic is moronic sef. You don't starve a million civilians plus the beloved prisoners unless the goal is to torture and ethnically cleanse the population as they've been not-so-subtly saying in their speeches.
Hamas even offered to release all prisoners, but they want them to disarm so that 'settlers' can extend their terrorism to Gaza with full state support.

LordAdam16:
One AFP, the media house, employee died of starvation.
The EU backed off ethnic cleansing, at least outwardly.
Similarly, they do not want to add deliberate starvation of kids to their long rap sheet.

Seriously, I don't think both sides--the Europeans and Israelis--are ready to grapple with life after the Gaza war.
The US will pin it on Trump, AIPAC, and feckless Biden.

I am so confident there will be major revisionism after the war.

-Lord
I hope so. As for Israelis, they will only regret their actions if the global ostracization continues. 85% of their society is okay with what their government is doing in Gaza and West Bank
