⚡GEORGIA IS ANGRY:

Generators donated to Ukraine by the Georgian government are being sold illegally on a Ukrainian website.

Ukrainian officials and their buddies are profiting again from the suffering of ordinary people, while Georgian taxpayers foot the bill.

Obviously, only the rich can get one now.

⚡POLISH GENERATORS ARE BEING SOLD TOO.

No matter what you donate to Ukraine to lessen the suffering of ordinary civilians, Ukrainian officials will make money from it… making it accessible only to the rich, because it ends up in bars, clubs and restaurants.

Insanity.

⚡China is closely monitoring the extent of the Israeli intelligence service Mossad's penetration into Iran, particularly following the events of 2025 and Israeli strikes deep inside the country, which exposed significant security gaps.

Chinese observers and military analysts warned that Mossad's success in infiltrating Iranian intelligence agencies and sensitive facilities has created a 'Pandora's box of global security risks'. Beijing views Israel's ability to plant agents and disable Iranian air defense and radar systems from within as a new form of intelligence warfare, requiring heightened vigilance and strengthened Chinese national security measures.

In response, China has increased technical cooperation with Iran to help detect and counter Israeli intelligence operations within Iranian territory.
Step in the right direction. However, they can do more to help Iran.

So Putin agreed to a one week truce on energy strike?
Man be dropping L back to back

so all of the self-imposed handicaps are immaterial

E go reach everybody. When the US was destabilising countries far and wide, the mining industry in Canada benefited immensely.

In all, though, I am not fazed by the recent bromance some of these countries have with China. Let's see between now and the end of this decade. These were the same countries which lambasted China, banned its goods, seized its companies and arrested its executives.

Suddenly, everybody wants to be friends with Xi? What changed? I wonder why Italy and Greece never go Beijing yet. Shakara eh!
meloni and trump are tight

greece always takes great pains to avoid pissing off the americans because of turkey

spain is the surprise, sanchez suppose don dey speak chinese by now
also, many of them would prefer to use the EU banner to not risk the direct ire of trump
sadly for them ursula f*cked up with xi last year
so they should manage mercorsur and india

only those that can shoulder some discomfort from washington will make the trip to china
hence the roster of canada, uk, finland, ireland in january; germany in february and i expect the likes of iberia, austria, slovakia, swiss, nordics to be on the queue

Elensky is funny. This is a fight he cannot win, there's literally no pathway to victory for him.
Does he even have competent advisers? Because there's no way the Russia will be content with only Donbass & Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant after crushing Elensky at the battlefield.

i just think they woke up to how terribly dependent they were on the us
and decided it made no strategic sense

before 2025, they sold the vast majority of their oil to the us
gave the us full access to their airspace under NORAD
accepted that the us does not need permission to ply in canadian waters
bought the vast majority of their military gear from the us
exported most of their merchandise to the us
they walked in lockstep with the us on foreign policy
(for instance, while they agreed to effectively bar chinese evs from canada under pressure from the us, mexico literally is a top 3 destination for chinese cars)

they were essentially a territory of the us in everything but name
so they're stepping back from the brink of complete subservience to the us

they have a long way to go to re-establish strategic independence
former leaders who are still alive should be sent into polar bear territory without clothes

He is correct. Gold has been going up aggressively over the past year. Its current price is 2x what it was the same period a year ago.

If you are truly a crypto trader who makes 3 million a month as you claimed a while back, you should know that crypto and gold experience temporary dips even when they’re on the rise. There’s nothing unusual there. But you don’t even trade tangible crypto, not to talk of making money off it, so you don’t know tongue

Lastly, the chart you shared shows the drop from 5500 to 5100. But you deliberately used a close up screenshot to make it appear more significant than it really is. This is a better chart showing the price of gold over the past year. You can see the dip you are making noise over (the very top tip of the graph) is very insignificant.
You tried to educate but we already know the dude has serious comprehension issues. The price of gold in my post was 5,182, so what’s the fuss. Even if the price drops I said IF it continues going up. Nobody knows the future that’s why I said IF, just use him for comic relief, don’t take him seriously.

⚡Israeli media claim that Russia has handed over new missile technologies to Iran, thanks to which Iran possesses 300 hypersonic missiles with 2.1-ton warheads for use against US Navy ships.
The 300 number is obviously outrageous but I won’t be surprised if the news is true. Russia always said they’ll mirror the USA actions in Ukraine when USA is in a conflict. Su 34 can launch Kinzhal hypersonic missile, there are rumours Iran has Su 34. Su and Kinzhal out range the USA jassm and jet.

Kinzhal is a carrier killer, one hit will decommission the carrier. Kinzhal range is 2,000 km.

Kinzhal is a carrier killer, one hit will decommission the carrier. Kinzhal range is 2,000 km.
the interesting part is that iran already had the ability to decommission a carrier before the 12d war
what do they think the missile that destroyed an entire neighborhood with pictorial evidence
will do to an aircraft carrier

10 persian hypersonics with 5-10 MIRVs each is 50-100 hypersonic warheads
nothing can stop that salvo

e get why dem dey hide the carrier for oman
they brought a knife to a gun fight




if all iran had were soviet-era anti-ship missiles, i will actually fancy the survivability of the aircraft carrier
because us aircraft carriers have double hulls
but against a drone swarm + hypersonic threat, they're pretty much naked as their top is a deck and the bridge with all the fancy gizmos

you smash the top and the carrier becomes a glorified container ship with 5000 prisoners hoping the ayatollah does not send them to hell with double taps

aircraft carriers were not designed to face modern drone/hypersonic threats
that's why they have destroyer escorts
but destroyers have limited munitions and while they can take out drones they can't take out hypersonics
eventually, you've overwhelm the strike group and the carrier becomes a sitting duck




e get why as israel mad reach
they've never contemplated carrying their navy into the persian gulf

it is suicide

china dispatched an armada from hainan
at least 8 ships (including destroyers and a sub)
there is a clip of them in formation heading towards persia
of course it's unclear when that clip was taken

ordinarily one would think they're going there to ensure shipping lanes stay open since the yanks were talking about blockades
conduct the axis drill with russia and iran (they've performed a couple of annual drills with iran and russia in the indian ocean over the past few years, so that's not a big deal per se)
and assist iran with targeting and battlespace coordination since iran now relies on chinese military infrastructure




the truly unprecedented part is that the israelis
are interpreting the deployment as china backing up their threat a few days back when they told the us that starting a war with iran will open the gates of hell
that's not a typo

and apparently
trump went into an emergency closed-door session when the pentagon confirmed that the chinese are en route to persia

since the chinese are not in the habit of publicizing military deployments and purpose
and since china always have a small flotilla in the red sea/arabian sea/indian ocean zone
this reinforcement is being interpreted as an intervention

i'm sure the phone lines in beijing are ringing non stop




which if you've followed chinese posture over the past few years
just seems out of left field

like how do you go from just minding your business
which has emboldened the hegemony
to sending an armada and threatening to open the gates of hell
something doesn't track

and so i'm erring on the side of caution and waiting for more corroboration
but again this is from the israelis
not even the iranians or the chinese




lastly, if this report is accurate
one has to pity the sailors on the lincoln carrier strike group
there is no immediate relief around
and if this sh*t goes kinetic and the axis decides to make an example of them
it'll be carnage

iran will f*ck them up and china/russia will be like
remember the moskva
two can play that game

this mindblowing charm offensive by the gulf arabs and turkey towards iran is infuriating

y'all brought the psychopaths into the region; gave them bases and unrestricted access
partnered with them as they rained havoc in iraq, syria, yemen and else where
y'all stood by as 80,000+ arabs were massacred in palestine

now y'all are running from pillar to post trying to protect your useless monoeconomies

erdogan that pushed jolani to depose assad and open the air corridor for attack
is telling tehran to embrace dialog

it's nice that iran has only dispatched president pezeshkian and fm araqchi to liaise with them
any conversation with those bast**ds is useless
if they want to stop the war, they should tell their partner in crime to stop
if they can't, they should get out of the way or get wrecked
