⚔Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey:

I don’t think China is going to adopt drones the same way that you’ve seen heavy adoption in Russia and Ukraine.

China has such an enormous surplus of single men… their calculus is just completely different.

Why would they spend a bunch of money trying to automate a fighter jet when I can just put a person in it?

And people say, ā€œthey don't want to lose those pilots.ā€ Well, what if I have a war machine that can churn out enormous numbers of pilots?

You're going to see this huge divide in how wars are fought between countries that highly, highly value human life and ones that do not value it so highly.
sometimes you hear supposed industry experts speak and you just know the mf is an empty suit

has this 🤔 never heard of the term "force multiplier"

china is the de facto leader in drone tech
they have a billion people
imagine what a billion people + infinite drones will do to any opponent

this mf should return his certificate

Tru.mp launching assaults at vene would be a terrible mistake at this time. With lots of sleeper cells already in the states, it will be easy for the Latino boys to give hard knocks around the states.
Espionage and sabotage.
The Venezuela move is what the axis are waiting for, Sacrificing Ukraine wouldn't appease pu.tin.
Israel and Argentina wouldn't be spared if Tr.ump makes this wrong move.
I hope Tru.mp realise on time before it's too late. The us is not ready for a new phase of war.
Sadly, uncle Sam is broke and desperately needs to sell his product to offset it's bills.
Broke ?? Lolz no one is ever broke in a war.. except interest is lost there are alot of ways to fund wars.

https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/kilo-class-what-makes-russian-submarine-so-dangerous-208376

The newer subs are believed to be some of the quietest in the world. So difficult are they to detect that they have earned the nickname ā€œBlack Hole.ā€

That silent quality is a curiosity. The improved Kilo-class still relies on non-nuclear, diesel-electric propulsion. Compare that to the U.S. Navy: America’s last diesel-electric boat retired more than 30 years ago.

These are attack submarines. Their purpose is to eliminate enemy subs and destroy surface ships. Their cruise missiles also give them land-attack capabilities. And since they are so quiet, they can also patrol close to shore and collect reconnaissance and intelligence data.

The 636.3 subs have been exported to China, Vietnam, and Algeria


This is the difference between Russia and Chinese Navy. Russian and USA nuclear submarines are comparable but Russia is the leader by far in diesel electric submarines. They can launch kalibr missiles with operational range of 1500-2500km.

All Latin American Navy needs this black hole to prevent the threat of floating bath tubs from USA.

⚔Zelensky:

I really count on pressure from the United States.

More pressure on Russia, because Putin doesn’t want to stop this war, but Trump can.

If the United States will pressure more, President Trump can be successful in this.

Listen, they accuse us of oppressing Jews, but in Belarus, for example, half of the government are Jews.

Where are we oppressing anyone?
It seems the Jews are like Europe's fulanis.
Fulanis are virtually everywhere in west Africa from Gambia to Cameroon.
Jews are virtually everywhere in Europe.

Michaeltreasure:
Yet some deluded fellows here were saying China should leave its business of self growth and rise to go and fight for an imaginary Venezuela, half way across the world. The same China that has just decrypted EUV machines, as of late.

There are too many childish self appointed political analysts here.
leave geopolitics and go comment on reality tv shows

chinese economy runs on cheap energy
the top three sources of that cheap energy are venezuela, iran, and russia in that order
it is very cheap because only china can buy from them so china buys at a discount to the global market rate

cut off those sources of cheap energy
and what is happening in germany will creep into china
this is not some duper-secret plan, it is plain for all to see

the us over the last three years and especially this administration wants to cut off china's energy lifeline at the knees
no energy, no export-oriented economy
ask pakistan and germany
they have attacked all three sources

what the us has done since 2022 is a declaration of war against china
from the attacks on their energy partners to the trade war
and xi's inaction has emboldened them every step of the way

when they're done with energy, you'll see them start turning the screws on key raw materials
they'll systematically target countries that export certain key materials to china
it will not be a blanket don't export anything to china
it'll be a surgical, don't export this particular material that china cannot get domestically to create chokepoints in their industries
like how china stopped nexperia chip exports and car factories stopped running in europe
and developing countries will sit up because if xi has chosen not to protect his cheap energy in venezuela, he ain't protecting you from us belligerence over cocoa and soybean exports

the us cannot take on china head on militarily in the pacific
so it will proceed with a death by a thousand cuts process
and it will seem like a tall order right until it begins to hurt

this can never be mao
i am only waiting for the shooting to start, i have given xi enough benefit of the doubt
it ends with venezuela
there is no conceivable reason, no 100D chess move to let the us have venezuelan oil riches, not even in a trade for taiwan

you lose credibility when you can't call things out as they are
he can still say the us is the greatest military bla bla bla
but don't insult folks sensibilities by claiming the chinese that is supplying drone components to both russia and ukraine will refuse to use them in their own war
that is fatal delulu

⚔Cambodian sources claim they shot down a Thai Air Force Israeli-made Dominator XP MALE UAV near Poipet using a QW-3 MANPADS.

Thai military sources dispute this, saying the debris does not match a Dominator and likely belongs to a smaller Thai Army tactical drone (e.g., DP-20–type).

Ukraine is refusing to end this conflict through peaceful means.

Nevertheless, there are signals that they are prepared to conduct some sort of a dialogue.

We are prepared, and we want to end this conflict through peaceful means on the basis of principles that were described by me in June of last year.

⚔Putin on Zelensky’s appearance in Kupiansk:

Zelensky is a talented actor without any irony. There’s nothing unusual.

That sign is about one kilometer away from town. But why do you film yourself in front of a sign? Why you’re standing outside the house? Just enter the house if the house is yours.

⚔Putin on frozen Russian assets in Europe:

It undermines the trust. Many other countries are holding their reserves in the Eurozone, not just Russia.

First of all, these are oil producing regions, oil producing countries. They already have some doubts.

And if that actually happens, you can use the same thing under different pretext.
