is the same patriot 🤡🤡 said shot down hypersonic missiles. From the video not a single AD missile was launched, that leaves us with two options.
(1) the radar didn’t detect the missile (2) the radar detection was too late.

Both situations are embarrassing for the USA military, NATO is not ready.

⚡German Chancellor Merz on Greenland:

The United States of America once had more than 30,000 soldiers stationed in Greenland. Today, there are fewer than 200.

So obviously the threat assessment of the United States itself is not as dramatic as it is currently being presented — even though the security situation could become more difficult again.

Uprightness100:
Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator, in a post on X compared inviting Iran’s foreign minister Araqchi to the World Economic Forum in Davos after the massacre of protesters in Iran to inviting Hitler after the so-called "Kristallnacht" attack by the Nazis on Jews in Germany and Austria in November 1938.

Senator Graham wrote:
"Inviting the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic to speak under such circumstances is like inviting Hitler to a global event after Kristallnacht. This decision is a new level of indifference and ignorance."

He addressed the organizers of the Davos meeting: "Do you even know what you are thinking? There is no worse message that can be sent to the protesters in Iran."
Graham emphasized that Trump did the right thing by encouraging the people of Iran to continue protesting, writing:
"European elites have lost their moral compass. This is the strongest sign of moral decay; decay among those who themselves enjoy freedom and abandon those who fight for it."
He said: "May God protect the protesters of Iran. Keep protesting. Restore greatness to Iran."

(Iran international)

World Economic Forum:

“The Iranian Foreign Minister will not be attending Davos.
Although he was invited last fall, the tragic loss of lives of civilians in Iran over the past few weeks means that it is not right for the Iranian government to be represented at Davos this year.”

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by LordAdam16: 12:31am On Jan 20

it's beginning to appear that the us is designating jordan as its fob for the imminent war

two major benefits
1. places their high value assets out of reach of iran's large short range missile stockpile
the secondary benefit of this is that iran will use its long-range missile stockpile to confront both the us and israel when it had planned to use long-range for israel and short-range for the us
2. allows them to consolidate air defense around a relatively more compact israel-jordan axis to protect both israeli and us military installations as opposed to being scattered around installations in multiple countries in the levant

the downside for jordan is that it is not a member of the gcc
so iran will pound it to hell and back with no more than meaningless statements from the saudis and other gulf monarchs

the major downside for usrael is the distance
the us has not fought a war in the last 50 years where its fob is 2000km away from the foe
granted, this is why they have the largest tanker fleet
but physics is physics

No one is arguing that the U.S. lacks overwhelming firepower or the ability to devastate Iran militarily. That’s not the point. The issue isn’t whether America can glass Iran, but whether doing so achieves any political objective without triggering strategic overextension.

History shows that superior military power doesn’t guarantee strategic success Vietnam, Somalia, and Afghanistan are reminders that wars are lost not because the stronger side can’t destroy things, but because it can’t convert destruction into sustainable outcomes.
Iran wouldn’t need to land a missile on U.S. soil to impose costs. Through asymmetric warfare, regional escalation, economic disruption, and long-term attrition, it could turn any intervention into a pyrrhic outcome where the U.S. wins tactically but loses strategically.
So this isn’t about craziness or bravado. It’s about deterrence, cost-imposition, and whether starting a war creates more problems than it solves.

Because the reality is Israel used it's military might to bring Hamas to agree to release all the hostages without having to redraw from Gaza.

it's an iraqi report
worth noting that israeli media is reporting that iran has s-400 and hq-9b but unclear if they're referring to new deliveries since the standoff started

na when war start we go know whether the report dey accurate or na lamba to gin up morale
if the report is accurate,
it automatically means the deployment of russian and chinese ad specialists to iran
that is a big claim

if so, they should just come out to back iran overtly
i'm not sure covert is better when deploying six squadrons of j-20s to iran will end this adventure prematurely

In addition to what Masterviolence has written. Iran is too complicated for U.S and Israel. Regime change is what both countries want, they've played two cards which is the 12D war and the recent sponsored uprising and both failed catastrophically. Now they are looking to take out Khamenei. Even if they manage to take him out there is another person on stand by to take over and that person could even be more problematic for US and Israel cause Iranian leadership structure is so decentralised.

Iran is like a bone stuck in US and Israel's throat as we speak. They are even confused as to what to do with Iran. I am very sure Israel is regretting the 12D war cause Iran is now more armed to the teeth to the extent that Israel is so scared and had been sending Putin to Iran that Israel doesn't seek escalation.

⚡The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has announced that military aircraft will arrive soon at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, who along with aircraft operating from bases in Canada and the United States, will support various long-planned activities by NORAD in the Arctic. According to NORAD, these military activities have been coordinated with and build on “enduring defense cooperation” with both Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark.

⚡New variants of the Russian Iskander ballistic missile have the Kyiv and Vinnitsya regions, causing a blackout once again in the capital.

All 3 power plants located in Kyiv were struck by regular Iskanders + Geran drones. More interestingly, it appears as though the brand new Iskander-1000 was used.

Several ballistic missiles with a new range of 1000km struck the Vinnitsya region, and reportedly, a Thermal Power Plant was hit.
