What!!!
At this point you really need help 🤣
🤣
The video you posted is from South Korea and many of the weapons there are South Korean. It could be a US-South Korea training or even just South Korea alone. I don't think the US holds large-scale military exercises like most countries do.

Chair, more disturbing details are emerging.

The Grayzone ran an expose yesterday detailing Bill Ackman's verbal assault on Charlie during a meeting in August about his increasing criticism of Israel.
Ackman disputed Blumenthal's account but in his X rebuttal confirmed that he did confront Charlie on his changing views on Israel.

This is the report- https://thegrayzone.com/2025/09/15/bill-ackman-israel-intervention-charlie-kirk/

MAGA sources are also claiming that Charlie turned down $150m pro-Israel investment and rejected Satanyahu's summon to visit Israel.
A few weeks before his murder.
Kirk also personally asked Trump not to bomb Iran. And then he invited Tucker to his TPUSA summit where Tucker launched a tirade about Epstein, Ackman, and Israel.

This is increasingly appearing to be a "the witch cried at night, and a child was found dead the next morning" kinda situation.
Tucker Carlson added his own two kopecks yesterday.



And Matt Gaetz, the ex Attorney General designate, said that he could confirm many of Tucker's assertions.

Venezuela offered Russia La Orchilla to serve as an air base for strategic bombers in 2009.

Russia in particular, because China power projection as a concept is a recent affair, somewhat bungled the geopolitical game in the Western Hemisphere.
Russia should have used power projection in Latin America as a tit for tat response to NATO moves it disagreed with.
But usually what would happen is that they'll temporarily deploy some trainers or contractors, send a few ships to patrol the region, announce new military contracts, and call it a day.
Otherwise, with the long list of NATO/US provocations in Europe and the Middle East, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Cuba should be little Kaliningrads.
Just slowly escalate as NATO expand, deploy forces, conduct exercises, and become more belligerent.

-Lord
I think the reason Russia did not prioritize the tit-for-tat approach with NATO is the fact that when shit hits the fan, the whole of NATO, including the US mainland is assured complete annihilation. Russia possesses missile systems with the capability to strike the US mainland in under 10-15 minutes, specifically submarine-launched ballistic missiles. While Russia has developed advanced hypersonic systems like the Avangard and Kinzhal, their primary means of rapid attack against the US relies on intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) and submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs), which can reach targets within the United States in the specified timeframe.

I see your point, but tit-for-tat is for acquiring geopolitical flexibility.

It gets better.

Bill Ackman who floated a $1.2m reward for the shooter will now hand it over to the father who turned the "shooter" in.

I'm sure the guys who murder negotiators will never think of this blatant hit all in public view.]

They’re not hiding it. On one hand they hold the bible that says thou shall not kill, seventy times seven, and turn the other cheek. On the other hand they hold a gun, ready to kill or celebrate the death of anyone they don’t agree with. I’ll say it again I don’t understand these people.

The Qataris and the Gulf all knew the US would have foreknowledge because the US and Israel had floated it multiple times in the past and were rebuffed.

But they all have to keep up appearances.

The issue now is why the Israelis are raising dust again after all 3 parties had agreed on a narrative.
Israel unilaterally launched the attack. The Americans learned about it when it was too late. The Qataris were informed after the missiles had been fired.

It appears the US denials have created a political snowstorm where everyone wants to dogpile on Israel.
Even those who are pissed at the US are transferring their aggression that should be directed at the US to Israel.
Case in point, of all the measures that have been proposed as a response to the attack, no one has said anything about the US presence, inadequacy, and responsibility.
In all their statements condemning Israel, only Iran I think, barely mentioned the US.
Essentially, the framing is that Israel is a rabid pest that can no longer be restrained by the US, so the Ummah should go all out to batter Israel diplomatically and economically.
Qatar is pushing this and everyone is enthusiastically keying into it, because it'd allow those who still want to preserve their US partnership to do so. Even the Europeans and Anglosaxons favor this.

The Israelis are uncomfortable with this turn of events and are now signaling that they have no intention of catching all the flak when the US is the premier co-conspirator.
In fact, in all of this, the US has not made a public statement or made public overtures to try to soften the blowback on Israel. They don't want to draw attention to their culpability.
Rubio was in Israel today and said nothing that'd diplomatically help Israel wrt to the Qatar attack.

-Lord
It's very obvious. The Yahooboy's camp is becoming very uncomfortable.

While it is still unclear what this will lead to in the short term, one thing is now certain:

In a potential Israel/Iran 2.0, the Tel Aviv gangster will no longer get the most support it was getting from the Arab collaborators. And that's bad news for the IDF.

Killing Haniyeh in Iran was not seen as a terrorist act by much of the western world because of the beef with Tehran.

But attempting the same act in Doha is a different ball game.

Not only does it jeopardize US relations with its allies,l in the ME, it also legitimize the claim that Israel is hell bent on genocide and endless wars.

This is why the Americans are now distancing themselves from this current chaos.

To make things worst, they've succeeded in setting a bad precedent. Israeli civic officials are now a legitimate target for both state and no state actors in a any theatre of hostilities.

I repeat.

If the US don't do away with Netanyahoo, they should be ready for more loss of influence and strategic partnership in the ME. There is no way these blatant acts of aggression and madness can continue any further without serious blowbacks on Israel and the US.

The anger all over the world, even from the western hemisphere is tilting gradually into overt reaction.
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Appleyard(m):
LordAdam16:
There's a really delicate dynamism playing out here.

The Saudis and Emiratis (alongside the chihuahuas of Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman) are tied to their adventures in Yemen and Sudan (and partly in Libya).
Adventures that required and still require huge assistance from the US and Israel.
They are not enthusiastic about flushing all their efforts costing billions of dollars down the drain for Qatar.
Because no one else, literally no one else on the planet, wants anything to do with their repulsive hegemonic wars.

Everyone else, bar Morocco, has demanded very harsh consequences. From Algeria to Malaysia.
As this is a joint Arab League - Organization of Islamic States summit.
But there is a creeping realization that if the Gulf is not interested in solidarity between themselves because of inanities, then it's a waiting game until they are wrecked badly again.

The biggest unintended consequence of this attack on Qatar is that the Gulf had been planning to repeat Lebanon in Yemen. Where they'd use the Houthi-Israel conflict as an opportunity to pursue their own goals. They've been planning an offensive, rearming their lemmings in Yemen, and all of that is now in question.
I am sure the Houthis were high-fiving each other when they saw the smoke in Doha.

-Lord
I have said it.

The Doha attack is a blessing and a curse in disguise.

First, it puts Israel directly on the crosshairs of hatred from across the western civilization. That is growing by the day.

Secondly, it serves as a recalibrator on the geopolitical psychic of the Arab states. Now they'd be forced to reevaluate their priorities, reassess their commitment and redrawn objectives.

Why?

Because they value their fat and luxury life and comfort and knew they could be the next target for the mad man in Tel Aviv.

Like photo, their eyes don they open small small.

⚡Trump:

This morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area.

These narcoterrorists from Venezuela were in International Waters transporting illegal narcotics to the U.S. The Strike killed 3 male terrorists; no U.S. Forces were harmed.

BE WARNED — IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!


I can bet my left limb.

The three killed men are innocent fishermen.

Ignorant Trump did not even know that the CIA is involved in the drug business, and the cartels are well entrenched in the American security architecture.

Poland scrambles F-16s, downs drones, approves NATO forces.

UK, France, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Italy, Czech Republic all deploy jets, Patriots, AWACS, and units under Operation Eastern Sentry.
Each time I see NATO responses, I shake my head. The deployments of those assets to counter simple drones cost millions of dollars in just a single day. This is not sustainable at all.

Dep play🤣🤣. They do it alright. But you never get to see it often because they don't showcase their hardwares anyhow. You only see it when it's put to use in an actual conflict. You think they rose to where they are today based on media propaganda and no actual demonstration of superiority? You are yet to understand the US.

The US military flies bombers and fighter jets over stadiums hosting football competitions. They have media guys who edit the scripts of movies, and give military jets and ships and even soldiers to cooperating movie producers in return.

They are clearly the masters of propaganda. If they hold large-scale weapon shooting exercises as you claim they do, it will be all over the web.
