⚡U.S. contractors, not Ukrainian troops, would likely operate and maintain Tomahawk cruise missiles if they are supplied to Ukraine.

A senior Western official told the FT that this approach minimizes escalation risks and prevents sensitive technology from being transferred.

Limited Ukrainian training is expected because Tomahawks require complex navigation and targeting systems, with “black box” components controlled by the U.S.

Initial deliveries would be 20–50 missiles, far below Ukraine’s request for hundreds.
Whenever the US wants to send weapons to Ukraine, they'll spend weeks making so much media noise about it, indirectly giving Putin a heads-up regarding the situation.

"Hey Vladimir, so we're going to send Tomahawks to Ukraine, probably between 20-50 units and they'll be stationed so, so and so places. So just in case it's eventually fired, this is fair warning so you can have enough time finding ways to intercept them. Don't be too pissed bro. It's all just optics that's good for business..😂😭. With love, your Western friends, USA."

We don't see all this nonsense when weapons are shipped or airlifted to Israel. We almost never even know when it's done. We just see the results in Israel and boom, Netanyahoo begins to zealously launch them in the middle east.

And nairaland visa boys will be here clapping in infantile glee. A very comic scene!

⚡India's exports to US plunge as Trump's 50% tariffs kick in.

India's goods exports to the US, its largest foreign market, dropped sharply by 20% in September and nearly 40% in the last four months, as Trump's steep tariffs took effect, data shows.

September was the first full month of Washington's 50% tariffs on Indian goods, which kicked in on 27 August. This includes a 25% penalty for Delhi's refusal to stop buying oil from Russia.

So the "terrorist" and "head chopping" syrian president goes on a state visit to Russia, and he is welcome like a Saint!!🤣

He goes on state visit to Russia, and suddenly, our friends have now forgotten his "supposedly" terrorist past!🤣

The same gromeless individuals who were berating Trump for having a side discussion with the Syrian leader some months ago. Have now suddenly gone missing in action when Putin himself has now hosted the same individual.

I wonder what Assad will be thinking? Seeing Putin hosting the same man who led the charge that deposed him from power.

What a shame that Assad a western educated fella who could have better the lot of his country, instead decided to follow the footsteps of his father to fan the "anti west rhetorics" and now he has to watch Putin his "supposedly" greatest ally hosting his foe while he sits in the nosebleeds.

Funny they have refused to talk about it, while trying to fan an "imaginary" second round of israeli-iranian skirmish!!.

Fingers crossed. Hoping for more escalation!!

The document signed yesterday in Sharm el-Sheikh:

We call for tolerance, respect, and equal opportunity for every individual, while ensuring that the region remains a place where everyone can aspire to peace, security, and economic prosperity - regardless of race, religion, or ethnic origin.


We strive for a comprehensive vision of peace, security, and shared prosperity in the region, based on principles of mutual respect and a shared destiny.

In this spirit, we welcome the progress made in establishing comprehensive and sustainable peace arrangements in the Gaza Strip, as well as the friendly and mutually beneficial relations between Israel and its regional neighbors. We commit to working together to implement and preserve this legacy, and to build the foundations upon which future generations can thrive together in peace.


We collectively pledge to a future of sustainable peace.

The signatories:
Donald J. Trump – President of the United States

Abdel Fattah el-Sisi – President of Egypt

Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani – Emir of Qatar

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan – President of Turkey

Note:
Not a single mention
of a Palestinian state appears in the document.
A Palestine state is likened to "building castles in Spain. A hopeless endeavour!!

There's more "hope" for the state of biafra, which itself is a herculean task than for the "fictional" state of Palestine.

⚡The Trump administration has secretly authorized the C.I.A. to conduct covert action in Venezuela, escalating its campaign to remove President Nicolás Maduro.

The new authorities, a presidential finding, allow the agency to carry out lethal operations in Venezuela and the Caribbean, either unilaterally or alongside potential U.S. military action.

This comes as the Pentagon draws up strike options and continues a large military buildup in the Caribbean, with 10,000 U.S. troops, eight warships, and a submarine already in place.

The authorization was developed under National Security Adviser Marco Rubio and C.I.A. Director John Ratcliffe, who has vowed to make the agency “more aggressive.”

Privately, U.S. officials have been clear: the goal is regime change.
A nation that is hinged on evil doing to others will one day answer for its sins.

See this one.
Mouth is writing checks that he can't catch.

They've not even concluded on who'd be in the governing authority that'd rule Gaza or the composition of the international stabilization force, but they're frothing at the mouth about restarting the genocide.

Restart it. The avalanche will consume his and Satanyahu's government.
Prisoners have been exchanged. Palestinians have an inalienable right to bear arms to resist occupation and to pursue self-determination.
It's right there in the UN charter.

They've not given birth to the id**t that could deprive Palestinians of that right.

⚡Trump is working on creating a “Ukraine Victory Fund,” which would be financed through new tariffs on China, The Telegraph reports.

According to the outlet, Trump has instructed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to discuss the plan with European counterparts ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Washington on Friday.

As soon as Assad left, I remember them saying that Russia gave Israel the location of the weapons left behind by Assad forces.

When Israel destroyed those weapons and facilities, including air defense systems.... the dvmb HTS fighters were rejoicing.

Now they're going back to Russia to purchase another new set of weapons. When they could have used the ones left behind by Assad.

Nonsense and ingredients.

The British and French Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles was far more advanced than the Tomahawks in terms of aerodynamics.

Where are they now?

The Russians successfully reduced their effectiveness to less than 10%.

The Russians already have Tomahawks gamed in Syria and from elsewhere like in Serbia and Iraq.

They will meet a far worst scenario in Ukraine.

Their only advantage is the long distance they could cover.

Couple with their ability to carry nukes. Which is where the real danger of immense escalation lies.

The Russians could elate to purposely 'mistake' them to be nukes in-coming, and under the pretense, launch a massive retaliatory strike involving overt or tactical nukes.

The west don mad finish.

@ Appleyard.

Second this.
47 has his moments but he exposes a side of the US that they usually take great pains to conceal for obvious reasons.
And we're at the stage where everyone has to pick a side.
People have to see the real, unfettered dark underbelly of the US so they know what we're up against.

Let them resume the genocide. Let them invade Venezuela. Let them restart the war on Iran.
Let them continue the global economic warfare on the Global South.
It is the best stimulus needed to properly drill in the stakes to the habitually wavering global majority.

There is no more dithering on Iran, as the steady flow of weaponry and economic support show, because everyone is feeling the heat.
