Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, party has been projected to win Sunday's snap election

Takaichi a hawkish prime minister would bring back the glory days to the Japanese military..The Japanese should go back to her imperial days of military buildup and move back to massive rearmament!!

To hell with that pacifist nonsense!! To hell with article 9, a very belligerent and imperialist Japanese nation is what is needed to counter present day China.

Imagine the US and a resurgent Japanese military, what a great tag team to cause considerable "havoc" in Asia!!


Takaichi would make Japan great again

⚑About 90 minutes ago, a salvo of 6 Iskander-M ballistic missiles struck Vasylkiv airbase in the Kyiv region.

A large fire is currently burning in the area as a result of the strikes.


Where are the so called best air defense systems in the world?

Pete Hegseth boasted about how old Soviet air defense systems couldn't save Maduro during the capture.

What does he have to say about this? In the heart of Kyiv, the most defended capital in Europe.

Russian missiles are slicing through like hot knife through butter. Like it's nothing.

We are not taking about long distance here, the US have weapons to hit Iran from afar, US submarines cruise missiles can hit Iran from distance..


Simple question how will Russia carry out conventional strikes against Iran's underground nuclear structures bearing in mind that they are deeply buried underground.

Different missions different ways to carry them out.. the "Aviation Thermobaric Bomb of Increased Power" Russia equivalent to the Us "Massive Ordnance Air Blast" and also the GBU-57 MOP .. all these are heavy ordinance used for underground facilities.. how are you going to deliver such payloads without flying over the target??
I already said the heat from the plasma cloud in the hypersonic missiles will penetrate any underground structure.

A country which is not a major player in air-defences .. A country that is facing shortages of air-defences is now the most heavily defended capital in Europe??

A country relying on limited air-defences From other countries is now the most defended capital in Europe!!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

This is like the fifth time you are jumping into a discussion without understanding the context.

My reply was in response to his claims that "it doesn't make sense to storm enemy position with modified anti tank mines turned bombs. And that the enemy would see the soldier approaching with the mine bomb and take him out with drones and guns. He claimed that Russia would never use such a tactic when they have drones and whatnot. Then i showed him a video of Russians storming with that tactic that he claimed "doesn't make sense".

The entire discussion began with Russians strapping a mine to an African and calling him "disposable". While they'll never do the same to their own people.

You should learn to read and comprehend before entering any discussion.
Don't shift goal post. The entire discussion is based on using land mines as suicide vest. No lie on my head abegπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I've followed the conversation from the beginning. You guys aren't making sense with your assertions. Even your video counters the claim you're making now because that video clearly shows a drone attacking a Russian soldier setting a mine.

It is normal for soldiers to carry mines to the frontlines. What is not normal is saying a mine is being used as a suicide vest or that Russians are using Africans for meat wave attacks. I don't even understand the point. Just get a fpv drone and it will do the job.

Notably, there is no single evidence of these meat wave attacks. If it's so common, then it shouldn't be hard to prove it.

Lastly, there's no evidence that the video of that African man is real. It first popped up on western media who claimed it was from a "pro-Russian telegram channel." But western media has clearly refused to tell us the name of this so-called pro-Russian channel.

⚑Colonel Yuriy Ignat said that F-16 and Mirage fighters were unable to counter Russia's missile and OWA UAS attacks yesterday because of the weather.

He also noted that western UAS interceptors are much less effective in when there is poor weather.

So how does this buttress your point of using it as a suicide bomb? From the video you can't even see if it's a mine or just normal TNT or bombs. Bro I don't tire for Una ..make Una rest abeg

⚑Senator Graham on Iran:

As to any deal between Iran and the U.S., I hope it can meet our national security objectives and the needs of the people of Iran through diplomacy.

Given Iran’s behavior regarding deals, it could be a tough sell.

However, I am open minded, understanding any agreement with the Islamic Republic and the United States must come to Congress for review and a vote.

Iran MUST take the initiative and strike now!

Delay is dangerous.

The US is quietly surrounding Iran on all sides.

Special forces and Delta teams have been flown into Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan.
While some of us would really want Iran to go on the offensive, I don't think a preemptive strike now would suit their chances. You have to looK at the bigger picture.


At a time when most US allies in the region and across Europe are giving the US and Israel a cold shoulder vis-a-vis the Gaza, Qatar Venezuela, and Greenland events. It would be unwise for Iran to play the aggressor and give that camp a reason to rethink their current stance against supporting the US/Israel war drums beating against Tehran.

Iran's high readiness level is enough punishment for them already. They understand now that any attack on Iran, whether limited or not, will receive immediate retaliation, and no amount of Special forces deployment to Azerbaijan or Turkmenistan can stop the retaliation. There is a reason why the US keep asking for further talks: they have no appetite for a regional war that could easily spiral out of control, which is exactly what an attack on Iran poses. Besides, the Midterms are here, and any military misadventures could see the Dems steamrolling back in control of both legislative houses.

Lastly, Iran's military doctrine advocate deterrence first and offensive actions later. And let's not forget that this is asymmetric warfare, and it's not determine by who possess the weapons or fires the first shot but how much a side is willing to lose by firing the shot.

Therefore, as it stands now, i think Iran is handling the situation well. Let the frustration drives them mad as Tehran stands resolved on its demands. They'd either chicken out or blunder into attacking Iran. Either way, they're headed for shameful exit.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCuESsarM80?si=aHL9DOW-UTeuRqxNol
I watched the video and again, it is just Russian soldiers throwing the landmines into Ukrainian trenches and then fleeing before it explodes.

Like your first video, this video doesn’t prove your claim about Russia using landmine-strapped soldiers as suicide bombers. If anything, it counters your claims about Russia using suicide bombers and proves what we have been saying, which is β€œRussia does not use suicide bombers.”

Those soldiers throwing those mines into Ukrainian trenches clearly weren’t trying to die. If they were, they would blow themselves up, instead of throwing the mine and fleeing before the explosion.

At this point, if you want to assert your suicide bomber point, then you should do so using videos of Russian soldiers blowing themselves up. Anything else is only going to counter your claim.

In a nutshell, Iran now has Bunker Buster munitions.
The Fordow attack on June 2025 was the first time ever the GBU-57 was used in live combat against an enemy, and it's a shame that the US military planners elated to used such a costly and highly secretive ordinance on a mere Nuclear facility underground, when they had other bomb options.

From the intelligence assessment that later came out after the initial attack, it was clear that the bombs were wasted because they only scratched the surface as against the "obliterated" claim touted earlier. This indicate two possibilities: either Pentagon war planners are lazy thinkers----they failed to calculate the geological risk factors into the potential outcome that will determine the success or failure rate----or the bombs are just another big, costly for nothing boondoggle contractors sold to the government.

14 ton unexplored ordinances? I wonder how many GBU-57 makes up that number. Bombs fails but that's too much a failure rate. In a sane country, someone should be going to prison. or doing a refund. But not in America where the MIC and its lobbyIsts political class are kings sucking the life out of the US.
