Why is this dude so hell bent on meeting Putin one on one? Is there anything that cannot be agreed on through negotiators? Does he have another sinister motives? Or is Putin his idol secretly?
He just wants a media ops. The sort of thing he did with Trump back then. Nothing more, nothing less.

There is nothing he and Putin needs to discuss. That's the job of diplomats. The both of them can only meet to sign and finalize agreements.

Hillary Clinton supports Trump forcing hapless outmanoeuvred Europeans to up their NATO spending.

Tarlov: There’s been a lot of conversation about the breakdown of the post world war two order, and we don’t have the same kind of relationships with our allies. To put it in Clintonian terms, there’s a lot of dumb power being used, not a lot of smart power. How far, I guess, do you think this breakdown has been if we would be welcomed back into the proverbial fold. It seems like from the NATO summit that that is the case, that our European allies are just waiting for Donald Trump to turn around and say, ā€œActually, I would like to go back to more or less the way things were, because we are better together than we are on our own.ā€ What are your thoughts on that?

Clinton: You know,Jessica, I actually was encouraged by the events of the last several months. First of all, the NATO commitment by individual member states to increase their defense spending is very welcome. It’s something that prior administrations have certainly sought, and I think it’s great that we are seeing these commitments that now have to be followed through on; the willingness of European countries to support Ukraine, and by doing so, buy American weapons in order to provide them to the Ukrainians.

I think all of that is a very good signal that there is beginning to be a better understanding, both by the President and the people around him, as well as by the leaders of our European allies, that there can be common ground amongst us, and the kind of dismissiveness that we saw in the first Trump administration has been replaced by a much more obvious working relationship to the good of European security, transatlantic security, and hopefully Ukrainian security. So, I’m actually encouraged.
Trump is also arming the Ukrainians, with a caveat. Europe buys the weapons then they can transfer them to Ukraine.

⚔Iranian Foreign Ministry on Israel:

The protests in the occupied territories are highly significant. The regime is facing serious crises, and the insistence of its leaders on continuing the war has angered not only the countries of the region but also the regime’s own internal society, whose patience is running out.

I don’t know if it's possible but I hope Russia was able to collect enough data on the F-35 and B2 bombers parked near Putin's plane.

Even the radar absorbing paint on the ones that flew by.

And pass it to Iran, so the US get a wonderful surprise the next time they send those bombers to Iran.
I don't think so. Putin plane has radar, without Visuals it's possible he didn't know there were F-22s escorting him. I also think the B2 bombers that flew by was another way of telling Putin's, we can take out Moscow and you won't know what hit you.
Trump in his first term though overzealous was negotiating with a Taliban leader. He showed him a photo of his home , the Taliban never killed a single American after that.

I won't be surprised if he instructed his guys to start gathering data on everything they saw in Alaska.

⚔Trump:

Zelensky can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight.
I would think Zelensky has no choice but to accept the Russian held Ukraine territory as part of Ukraine without giving them up. Russia becomes an occupying power and is treated as such . Wealth generated from those territories can be shared among the two in a peace deal.
Putin gets what he wants
No gas from eastern Ukraine to Europe , Ukraine doesn't get to join NATO.
Putin returns some of the captured territory that has not held referendums.

⚔Russian forces again attacked Ukraine with drones and missiles. In Odesa, strikes hit a Nova Poshta terminal and SOCAR’s oil depot, causing major fires and damage to storage tanks, pump stations, and facilities.

This follows earlier attacks on Azerbaijani energy assets in Ukraine. On August 7–8, drones targeted another SOCAR depot in Odesa region, injuring four employees and damaging a diesel pipeline.

Maybe he collected data, but we all know his 4 S-300s were taken out by Israel in Iran. America is more capable in Suppressing Air defences than Israel.
In a purely conventional war with Russia, America would crush Russia within a few months
American military fires 2 billion rounds of ammunition in a year (wartime ) mostly for training. USAF consumes 8 billion litres of fuel annually accounting for 10% of US consumption. That makes it's military highly trained , nothing is spared

you are joking with your third statement right? Because I don't even know how to respond to that.

You are comparing a State control defense industry that focus on state security to a privately owned industry that focuses on profit.

Even if the use 1billion ammunition rounds its all about profit for defense industries.

We saw a real life test in the 3years war with Ukraine and iran 12 days war.

The West ran out of AD first before iran ran out of missiles.
Russia ammunition production cost wayyy less than same from the west..
The so called superior technology of the west is relatively useless against equal powers and the battlefield weapons will go dumb.
Production chain ability and mass quantity outweighs superior technology anyday, anytime.

Wow, so bullets wins wars, not missiles and drones.

Learnt something new today.

It should be pretty easy for Ukraine to crush Russia in the next few months. Ukraine is backed by the Almighty USA.

I wonder why they're begging for a cease-fire when they have access to such mighty 8 billion ammunition rounds.

They call it superior technology so you can pay triple for it.

It performs the same as Russian and Chinese ones. As we have seen in Ukraine.

It's just the same way Ferrari and Lamborghini call their products superior. Meanwhile all the materials used to manufacture their cars are gotten from China.

But they call Chinese cars inferior. The same country that produces what they use for their cars.

What is it with Russia and Azerbaijan?
The tension is really getting strong
Azerbaijan is auditioning to be the Ukraine of the Caucasus.
Russia is finally opening their chapter.

Simultaneously pissing off Russia, Iran, and China is no mean feat.

Aliyev started the NK war against Putin's wishes.
He assisted Israel in the 12D war.
He coaxed Armenia into the corridor deal under the threat of renewed hostilities.

If his grander plans with Turkey, Israel, and the US pan out, Iran will be destabilized.
Pressure will be applied again on Georgia and Kazakhstan; both of whom have recently dealt with internal sabotage.
Iran and Kazakhstan troubles will create issues for Pakistan which is why they were firmly in Iran's corner in the 12D war.
F*cking with Pakistan's national security is an indirect middle finger to China.

I'm not sure what they're smoking in Baku to believe they are sly enough to get away with f*cking with three nuclear powers (+ a nuclear breakout power).
But the Kremlin has had enough and Putin is coordinating with Iran and China.
Russia is the hemispheric top dog in the Caucasus and the Azeris have flown too close to the sun.
All of the recent enriched uranium deliveries to Iran are not exclusively for Israel.


Aliyev should make good on his threat to overtly support Ukraine.
Axis no dey cho cho cho anymore.
He no go believe wetin him eye go c.


Azerbaijan is not the only curious case.
Ukraine, Assad, and the 12D war collectively provoked the Axis powers to adopt aggressive postures.
Iran and Iraq signed a border security agreement. Iran directly informed Iraq and Lebanon that their paramilitary allies have firm security guarantees from Iran and disarmament is an impossibility.
Thus you can understand why Russia is directly striking Azeri interests in Ukraine. The Kremlin is taking advantage of the war to discipline Azerbaijan and inform them in no uncertain terms that at the earliest opportunity the Axis will call their debt.

It is impressive how Erdogan, Satanyahu, Aliyev, and Trump successfully linked the national security red lines of Russia, Iran, and China.

it obvious you don't know anything about warfare, so is this an ariel war? Do you think USA considers Ukraine as an ally to give them B2?
Who will fly them,
what difference will tomahawk make than HIRMAS, after some few hit Russia will learn, adapt and improve.

This is a ground war not an air campaign like in Iran, and so far the best game changer Ukraine got is starlink not the Abrams or f16s.

So let's say they gave Ukraine all you listed how will they use it the battlefield, how many quantities is enough to make a difference, so how will ukraine get men to mount the trenches...when you put all this together you will realize how liquid your brain is.
