Purge your soul of the heitred that was orientated into you from your madrasats. Oct 7, y'all were happy and jubilating, despite being aware there would be consequences. Now the consequences arrived, you are crying genocide. Kwantinue.

Actions and consequences both move together. They are packaged deals.

The US Secretary of State is now demanding direct talks with Iran after the reimposition of sactions.
The European troika that activated the snapback are also demanding Iran does not retaliate by escalating.

The nerve of the 🤡🤡🤡

They can make these demands because the mullahs are oafs.
A serious country will test a bomb within weeks and wait out the 20 years until the West crawls back with a recognition that Iran is a de-facto nuclear power.
At which time, the West will be even less powerful than it is now.

-Lord
I hope it is not too late for them. It could still take them months or years to finalize the process and create a bomb. It's crazy to think they really did not take any concrete steps to at least secretly assemble the means to generate one in days should the need arise despite all that USA was doing in the Middle East

Me thinks fighting and getting ceasefires will become their new reality for several years to come. They had another opportunity to create deterrence by prolonging the 12D war no matter the cost, using Gaza genocide as their excuse. Their advantage was growing daily and it would have made further attacks unthinkable for Israel but na, they chose the easier and more foolish option. Iran matter don dey tire me.

Russian drone production capacity is scary. Most of them are suicide drones and yet they unleash hundreds of them per night as if they're AK47 rounds.
It's because they now have automated factories.

Machines producing machines.

Copium!! Hard Copium!!!

Those are the details I have set out. Tell me how many enemy military infrastructure was decimated. It would wise if you did some thinking before posting
It's not that I didn't do any thinking. The problem is that you don't know that details do not instantly emerge after an event. It's your type that complain when they hear death tolls rising because you don't understand how coverage works.

Vitali has so far said over 20 locations have been attacked. Of course, he only mentioned the civilian structures.

So far, four civilians have been confirmed dead — that's quite low for a country that is said to be intentionally targeting civilians. 500 drones, with interceptions taken into account, would fetch nothing less than 300 civilian casualties

⚡Russia, Ethiopia sign document calling for construction of nuclear plant.

Russia and Ethiopia signed a document on Thursday calling for the planning and construction of a nuclear power plant in the east African country, RIA news agency quoted Rosatom, the state-owned Russian nuclear corporation, as saying.

An action plan on development and construction of the facility was signed during a nuclear power forum by the general director of Rosatom, Aleksei Likhachev, and Ashebir Balcha, CEO of the Ethiopian Electric Company, RIA said.
The Ethiopians recently completed the ambitious Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam GERD, now they're making plans for a nuclear power plants ?
The rest of Africa might leave Nigeria behind

Iran had all the opportunity to create a bomb by using the 12day unprovoked war as an excuse. But I know the regime is playing some games that is not known to the public. It will be foolhardy of them not to get a bomb which they know. They tested an ICBM 10 days ago everyone knows what that means. I believe they will test the bomb and it will come as a rude shock to everyone.

They can't come out to tell everyone they have one. They won't abandon the NPT so as not to raise a suspicion all they have been doing is to avoid the snapback of EU sanctions and EU has proved yet again that they are just US puppets by reintroducing sanctions.

If they can't finance it, how will Russia get their money back?
The GERD project is about 4 billion to 5 billion dollars
"
One of the most remarkable aspects of the project lies in its financing. Rejecting external interference, Addis Ababa decided to finance the GERD without direct recourse to international donors or multilateral financial institutions. The funding was provided by the Ethiopian state, through national bonds, popular contributions, deductions from civil servants, and patriotic campaigns. This unprecedented financial mobilization was presented as an act of economic sovereignty and national pride.

I think they can afford it, they saw an opportunity to not only solve their power situation but also export power to four other countries.

That's what the West hoped for.

For Russia to go all in and expend all of their manpower and weapons. That would make Russia weaker and easier for NATO to come in and finish off.

But Putin quickly understood their game plan and restrategized.

Now, if Russia produce 50 Iskander missiles a month, they use 10 a month and save 40 for the big war with NATO.

Same thing with Geran drones. They make 3000 per month, use 1000 and save 2000.

Make 50 T-80 tanks, use 10 and save 40.

That way they can fight for at least a decade without suffering shortage of missiles or drones.
Dude even if Russia goes all in nato won't still come.... Nuke is the game changer not lack of fighting men...

We are most likely seeing a change in Russian soft power from weapons, grains, and fertilizer to nuclear power plants. It is a smart move. People don't remember who gave them grains and fertilizer. But they will quite remember who's giving them electricity.

⚡Kursk operation cost was 'too high' for Ukraine, ex-military chief Zaluzhnyi says.

Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine's former commander-in-chief, offered his first public assessment of Ukraine's 2024 cross-border operation in Russia's Kursk Oblast in an op-ed for the Ukrainian news outlet Mirror of the Week on Sept. 24.

"I don't know the cost of such actions, but it is clear that it was too high," he said.

566 drones downed out of 593.
So, you are expecting 300 civilian casualties from 28 drone impacts. Because those civilians don't have houses and sleep on the streets abi? Or they are jam-packed In a single place.

Four civilians confirmed dead is quite low for a country said to be intentionally targeting civilians - so you say. You seem to forget this is a night time attack when almost all civilians will be in their houses sleeping. The last time Russia did it during the day, over 20 people waiting to collect their pensions were killed from a single drive strike - is that also a low figure from a country deliberately targeting civilians?

And you said you think.

If in the coming round 2 USreal destroys the recently delivered S400s and HQ-9s, how many more will Russia/China send after hostilities end?

The morons are acting like these munitions are in infinite supply.
Russia has to build for themselves, Belarus, India, Algeria. You know, their priority customers that have no payment issues.

They should get a nuke or Iran will be the incinerator for Axis weaponry.
Weaponry better saved up for the confrontation with NATO in both the Eastern and Western fronts.
That rubbish they're planning for recurrent warfare and ceasefires is completely stupid.
When the choice is between a nuke and the billions in war (both for the cost of munitions and damage) every other year or so, what choice will a sensible person make?
We're not even talking about the loss of lives.




It would not take them years to finalize the process to make a bomb.
That is shalaye for NPC consumption.
Iran can make a bomb within weeks.
They should have started after the ceasefire held in one of their several facilities that was not attacked and by now they'd have at least 3 with one ready for immediate test.
That's assuming they've never made preparations for a rapid assembly, with or without Khamenei's knowledge, before the 12D war.

The only way this gambit does not blow up in the mullahs' faces is if for whatever reason USreal do not attack within the next 2-3 years.
That'll give them plenty of time to properly beef up defenses and conventional deterrence.
But we all know a round 2 is imminent, so it's either a nuke or a miracle.
