I said "first nuclear strike".
USA, Russia can survive it. They have the capability to launch a retaliation.
What’s a first nuclear strike? What kind of survival are we talking about? The questions are rhetorical, am just shaking my head 😆.

When I say "survive a first nuclear strike" I mean the affected country will still retain the ability to retaliate. Your article is talking about the devastating effects, I am not talking about that. And I seriously doubt the 2 billion people quotes. That is a quarter of the world population. There is some serious exaggerations in there.

⚡France will replace Microsoft Teams and Zoom with its own video platform, Visio, across all government departments by 2027.

The move is aimed at boosting digital sovereignty, securing government communications, and cutting costs.

iraq has a shia majority
so it is always a tug of war when they try to impose their will on iraq

their ace card is that all revenue from iraqi oil sales must be deposited in the us federal reserve
at several points, they've weaponized this by throttling the flow of dollars to iraq

also iraq has tried to be a conduit for iran to beat sanctions
so they don't want maliki back because the mf is even closer to tehran than the current PM

⚡Canada's Carney says he did not walk back Davos speech to Trump:

I meant what I said in Davos.

It was clear that it was a broader set of issues, and that Canada was the first country to understand the change in U.S. trade policy that he had initiated.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
The war is also a strategy for the Europeans to tie down Russian forces in Ukraine until such a time they're ready militarily to take on Russia.
Do they honestly think that Russia will fight a conventional war with EU/Europe/NATO?
That thought actually cuts closer to reality than most people are willing to admit.

Yes, Ukraine functions as a strategic holding action for Europe — buying time while EU states rearm, rebuild depleted stockpiles, and try to regain military relevance they outsourced to the US for decades. But the assumption behind it is deeply flawed.


No, Russia is not going to fight Europe in a neat, conventional tank-on-tank NATO fantasy war.

If Russia ever faces an existential conflict with the EU/NATO, the playbook changes immediately:


* Asymmetric escalation before conventional war:
Cyberattacks, energy infrastructure sabotage, undersea cables, satellites, space assets — Europe is far more vulnerable here than it likes to admit.

* Long-range precision strikes:
Russia would lean heavily on missiles, drones, and airpower to cripple logistics, ports, and command nodes long before massed ground combat. Recently, the Europeans have admitted that there is no escaping the Oreshnik, and that's just one part of the large array of Russia's standoff capabilities.


* Nuclear caveat — established
Russia’s doctrine explicitly allows use of tactical nukes if state’s survival is threatened. Europe pretends this clause doesn’t exist because acknowledging it collapses the whole “we’ll eventually fight Russia” narrative.


* Political warfare inside Europe:
The cracks are readily visible. Fragmented publics, weak governments, economic strain, migration pressure — Europe would be fighting itself as much as Russia.


The irony is that Ukraine is being used to delay a confrontation that Europe is structurally unprepared to fight, while Russia is adapting its military, economy, and society for long-term confrontation right now.

So the real question isn’t whether Europe/NATO thinks Russia will fight conventionally.
It’s whether Europe has convinced itself that Russia will play by rules Europe itself abandoned long ago.

History suggests that’s a dangerous illusion.

⚡Polish FM Radosław Sikorski accused Elon Musk of letting Russia use Starlink for attacks, posting:

“Hey, big man… why don’t you stop the Russians from using Starlinks to target Ukrainian cities. Making money on war crimes may damage your brand.”

Musk fired back:

“This drooling slowpoke doesn’t even realize that Starlink is the backbone of Ukraine military communications.”

We did it. We delivered the mother of all deals.

We are creating a market of two billion people.

It will cut up to four billion euros in annual tariffs for exporters of all sizes.

⚡U.S. intelligence assessments have raised doubts about whether interim Venezuelan President Delcy Rodriguez is fully aligned with the Trump administration’s strategy.

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 8:52am On Jan 28
⚡In prepared remarks to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump administration is ready to use military force if Venezuela’s acting President, Delcy Rodríguez, does not cooperate with US demands.

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 8:54am On Jan 28
Where's the so called "soft power" the buffoons here keep saying the US has.

All we keep hearing from the U.S is use of military force, force, force.

They want to use military force to achieve everything, even as little as trade. They can't even get anyone trading with them without using force to coerce them.

A failed nation and dying empire.
