⚡JD Vance on Iran:

The person who makes the decisions in Iran is the Supreme Leader. The President doesn't really matter.

The Foreign Minister seems to talk to the Supreme Leader and that's mainly the person that we've communicated with.

But it's a very weird country to conduct diplomacy with when you can't even talk to the person who's in charge of the country.

Trump can pick up the phone and call Putin. He can pick up the phone and call Xi. Even countries that we have very hostile relations with.

It is bizarre that we can't just talk to the actual leadership of Iran. It really makes diplomacy very difficult.

western media keep reporting that the reason for these shocking retreats by the us is arab pressure

i don't think that is the only factor
i don't even think it is the defining factor

the us had walked
witkoff was scheduled to leave the levant tomorrow after meeting the qataris
the israelis successfully tanked the talks

then barely one hour later the us dropped all their pre-negotiation demands and accepted all iran's pre-negotiation demands
something extraordinary has been making the us to behave erratically
and i can't quite place my finger on it




the israelis are in shock
and they're scrambling
there'll be an emergency full cabinet meeting tomorrow about today

and satanyahu is calling for a us-israel political and security dialog with the participation of high ranking us officials from state and the pentagon next week

an independent attack by israel is a real possibility

⚡French President Macron’s top diplomat, Emmanuel Bonne, held talks with Russian officials in Moscow on Tuesday.

The discussions focused mainly on Ukraine and were described as technical-level contacts coordinated with Ukraine and key European allies.

Bonne reportedly met Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov.
They are coming to their sense
Oreshnik have humbled them

⚡Trump on Venezuela:

Remember in Iraq, they got rid of everybody. They had no generals, they had no people. They had nobody to run the government. It turned out to be a mess.

And that’s where ISIS came from, came from the military and all the people, they formed ISIS. It was handled very badly. But this is handled very well.

⚡Zaporizhzhia City has come under heavy attacks tonight.

At least 4 Tornado-S rockets targeted the "Armalit" 150 kV electrical substation. As a result, most/all of western Zaporizhzhia lost power.

Additionally, multiple salvos of MLRS have targeted areas south of the city.

Mind you, the ragtag Houthis shot down dozens of US sophisticated drones without even having an airforce. About 23 US drones in a single year.

They shot them down using outdated soviet air defense systems.


Botragelad & Tonididdy must be very ashamed of themselves

Maybe na one of those things wey dey give Elensky mind to make ridiculous demands, including their EU partners. Anything is possible, the West have unmatched access to human & natural resources. Can they successfully do this without Russian intelligence intercepting the location, their sponsors, the scientists involved?

Do you blame Russians or Africans. They knew what they are going to face, when they applied for military service visa.
You're mistaken. Majority of them didn't apply for military visa. They applied for real jobs, were promised scholarships etc. They got there and faced what they didn't apply for.

Una dey put these people on a pedestal too much.

This na how dem dey put fear and defeatist mindset inside una.

Unmatched access ke. If dem get unmatched access dem for no dey attack Niger the other for that Uranium, Venezuela for their oil, Iran and all the other countries wey dem dey attack.

Them for no dey run upandan like confused dogs looking for deals and who to steal from.

Rosatom controls at least 60% of anything nuclear. Even US no fit maintain their nuclear arsenal without buying enriched Uranium from Russia.

As for human resources. Total west population = 1 billion.

BRICS population = 3.5 billion people.

So who really get unmatched access??

I don't know why Iran can't come up with equall counters. Agree to limit ballistic missiles if all US bases in the ME are shut down and all Israeli jets and nuclear warheads are dismantled. Demand to have Ua reduce their aircraft carriers to 2 and keep them near America.

Na too much bias & sentiment dey do you. The hegemony is resource rich, whether in paper currency or natural or intellectual resources. If you don't want to acknowledge that, that's your problem.
They have the capacity to do it but can they absolve the consequences? That's the koko.
Cuba, Brazil, Iran, Egypt et al will all possess nuclear weapon.

Being PRO-RUSSIA shouldn't stop you from acknowledging that Western intelligence/covert operations is unmatched. That's partly the idea of decades of sanctions they impose. To impoverish the masses so they can easily buy loyalty once push come to shove. If Japan knew about the Manhattan Project & also had the capability, they would have easily attacked the location, or kill the scientists involved and their sponsors.

⚡Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

Europe is now financing the war entirely.

We’ve spent roughly 200 billion euros.

Success will come only when Putin recalculates whether he can achieve his aims at an acceptable cost.

And if he feels the military is the only option, then he will ultimately choose that option.

I said it here a few weeks ago that those ISIS fighters the US is transferring from Syria to Iraq would be used to fight Iran.

Expect to see ISIS attacks inside Iran.

⚡JD Vance on the new world order:

There’s a new world order and Trump is willing to shake up some old alliance structures.

I mean NATO I think is much different because of Trump’s leadership than it was 10 years ago.

It was effectively a protectorate of the United States of America.

⚡JD Vance on Europe:

The Europeans, they're so friendly in private and they're willing to make a lot of accommodations and then publicly they attack us and they say, “We're not going to work with the Americans. We're not going to do anything with the Americans.”

I'm sorry. It's all bogus.

first off, it's not a great idea to put it out there that there are conditions under which you'd limit ballistic missiles

just as russia or china will not put out conditions under which they've give up all their nukes
if the us likes, let it unilaterally dissolve as a country
russia and china will not give up all their nukes

iran treats its ballistic missiles the same way
even if by some freak chance israel and the us gets destroyed, iran will not limit them

secondly, iran will struggle to make aggressive demands without nukes

this gets back to my three-parter
nukes are the ultimate backstop

possessing nukes offer immense flexibility and lots of leeway
if iran had nukes it'll be able to unilaterally create enough chaos in the region until the sanctions are lifted
then it'll bulk itself and its regional allies for a few years
before it can then start, as russia is doing, calling for a new security architecture in the levant

without nukes and without putin's economic reforms that re-established russia as a wealthy country
russia would be on the defensive right now
likewise china

that is the tried-and-tested sequence
get a nuke, fix your economy, set your conditions

when india truly becomes a wealthy country you'll marvel at how they'll switch up

the mullahs have handicapped iran

⚡JD Vance on Greenland:

Our entire missile defense system would be inoperable if the Russians or the Chinese controlled Greenland.

So, God forbid, I don't think it's going to happen to be clear, but God forbid some foreign country launches a missile, an ICBM at the United States of America, we couldn't defend ourselves if a foreign country controlled Greenland.

And by the way, the Chinese and the Russians have both expressed an interest in controlling Greenland.

⚡Former MI6 Chief Richard Moore:

The Iranian regime has lost all legitimacy. It has nothing to offer its own people.

They have been prepared to kill thousands of unarmed protesters. We may never know how many people were slaughtered on the streets.

Eventually, it will fall.

The regime has an opportunity to pivot to diplomacy. Regime change is notoriously difficult.

There is an unavoidable element of uncertainty and mystery.
