Russian air defenses shot down their own military aircraft over occupied Crimea last night while trying to repel a Ukrainian drone attack. Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk confirmed the incident, saying Russia “defended against Ukrainian attacks so well they managed to down their own plane.”


It was a Su-30.

Who really send Pakistan this message?

The unfortunate part is that no one is really the suzerain or benefactor of Afghanistan.
So there is no one to read them the riot act.

⚡At their Alaska summit, Vladimir Putin rejected Donald Trump’s Ukraine peace proposal and launched into a long history rant about Russia and Ukraine, citing medieval rulers to justify his views.

The unexpected lecture angered Trump, who cut the meeting short.

⚡Russian missile strikes Ukrainian training ground, casualties reported, military says.

Another Ukrainian military training ground was hit by a Russian missile strike on Oct. 16, wounding troops, despite a recent change in command meant to prevent such instances from recurring.


"In the morning of October 16, Russia inflicted a massive combined attack on Ukraine, particularly two ballistic missiles on the grounds of one of the training units of the Ground Forces of Ukraine's Armed Forces, located in the rear in a relatively peaceful part of our country," Operational Command South wrote in a Facebook post the same day.

"Due to the enemy's hit, despite warnings, staying in shelters and other employed safety measures, it did not happen that losses were entirely avoided," the post said. The post goes on to say the injured were being treated by first responders, and ended by saying, "We express our sincere condolences to the families and loved ones of the deceased." The exact number of dead or injured was not specified.

⚡Turkish Cypriot President Ersin Tatar:

Southern Cyprus feels stronger now because Israel has brought weapons there — both defensive and offensive.

The Greek Cypriots believe they could use Israel’s weapons against Northern Cyprus and Türkiye. I think this is a mistake by Israel.

Claims that Northern Cyprus hosts groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, or Iran are completely false.
Nobody days anything about turkey invasion of North Cyprus in 1970s.

Ramblings and more føølish ramblings. Putin did in fact ramble about a 9th-century Varangian chieftain directly to Trump for an hour during the Alaska meeting. Trump was reportedly taken aback.

All living hostages are now accounted for. that has been confirmed by Israeli authorities.

That was my fear about the ceasefire aggrement, I was thinking Hamas would leverage the "living hostages" for the last phase of the agreement. But thankfully, the "living hostages" were the basis to kick start the ceasefire aggrement

The "living hostages" were Hamas' only viable card, and that has been played. Now that has been taken out of the equation. Me and many others in the Knesset would appreciate another round of offensive to finish the job!!.

Terrorists and their cheerleaders only understand one thing. That's brutal force!!.
Appeasement is not in the dictionary of a terrorist!!


Hamas "won" the last time around. I am pretty sure they will also want to "win" again!!
Who gets tired of "winning"??
Then Hamas really shot themselves in the face. But one could also say that they're tired of being hunted about and killed like rats. I know the so-called anti-western guys here would not want to admit that the Jews actually dragged Hamas through the mud. They keep downplaying the Israelis achievements in this war. Would Hamas have agreed to meet these conditions if really they had the upper hand?

I'm not sure Hamas released all the living hostages within their camp. They might want to have some cards
They are not like Israel that negotiates in bad faith. They have released all hostages.

There are a few dead hostages who died due to Israel's relentless bombing. Hamas has been unable to recover those ones so far and have called for specialty digging equipment from Turkey.

The equipment has arrived but Israel is blocking it from entering Gaza to recover the remains.

No one has been pained about israel's failure to militarily recover the hostages more than this guy.

A so-called regional power barricaded a region four times the length of the third mainland bridge in Lagos and two times its width with multiple army divisions for two years and could not achieve its military objectives.

In the end, our regional power had to humble itself to negotiate a ceasefire with the same people it claims to have defeated.

At what point did rockets and RPGs made out of pipes and sugar become the go-to weapon to humble a regional power?

Take a backseat. Israel has been ridiculed and demystified. Everyone knows it negotiates in bad faith and is looking for every excuse to restart its genocide. Let it restart it. It will only return back to the negotiation table with Hamas.

Israel has been ridiculed by negotiating before. And it will be ridiculed when it negotiates again. If Israel wants to defeat Hamas, then it should go into the tunnels. Anything outside of that is pure gimmick. Genocides don't win wars.

I can vividly remember when the NVB 🤡🤡 insisted that Russia had bombed its own pipeline.
You would not have been able to convince any of them that years later, a NATO country will refuse to extradite the saboteur responsible for an attack on another NATO country energy infrastructure.
But here we are and they've moved on to the next propaganda doozy.

⚡Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif:

Pakistan can no longer afford to maintain relations with Kabul as it did in the past.

All Afghans residing on Pakistani soil must return to their homeland; they now have their own government/caliphate in Kabul, and 5 years have passed since their Islamic revolution.

They must live with Pakistan as neighbors. Our land and resources belong to 250 million Pakistanis. The time has come to end five decades of forced hospitality.

All this aggression against Afghanistan by Pakistan came right after Pakistani PM & Defense Minister met with Trump several times this year.

Right after the US says it wants to get back Bagram Airbase.

I'm sure it's no coincidence.
