⚡Pakistani fighter jets reportedly carried out airstrikes in Barmal district, Paktika province, Afghanistan.

Similar strikes occurred in 2024 and 2025, often following TTP attacks inside Pakistan.

⚡Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

Germany and France together are now too small to govern Europe. Together they do not even have a blocking minority.

Poland is not only the largest of the ten countries that joined the EU in 2004. Our economy is now among the 20 largest in the world.

As our great compatriot John Paul II once said: Europe must breathe with two lungs — one western and one eastern. Poland wants to represent the interests of our part of Europe.

⚡Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

Poland today has more tanks than Germany, France and the United Kingdom combined — and this advantage will grow in the coming years.

So with all the supports given to Vietnam by the Soviets, China and North Korea.. so Vietnam was a near peer power to the US during the Vietnamese war😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I guess Venezuela was also a near peer power since it challenged the US in the Western hemisphere before the fall of Maduro 😂😂😂

If that is the case then why are we wasting our time here? thinking there is an Axis working together to resist a common enemy if they are all working solo.
You now see the reason Germany, Polish Pm are all saying no matter what the US do to them, they will stick with US and not move to the Axis? because the Axis is looking like a Bunch of Jokers.
We abuse Saudi arabia, Qatar, UAE and co them being Isreal and US lap dogs and the question is why won't they. The other option is a disaster who will look on why they pummel your capital/country.
There are many countries under the Hegemon umbrella like Saudi, Qatar, Germany, UK etc who don't need to have a nuke to fight off the axis because they are rest assured the big boss they have is reliable but the Axis throw their own under the bus, sometimes cutting back deals with the hegemon to strike them ....Tahhhhh
I don't think anyone ever thought the Axis of upheaval was ever in close coordination except misleading narratives on this thread.
Chinese companies are selling drones to the Ukrainians but you don't see the Russians protest about it, it's just business and how the world works.
If or when the issue of Taiwan comes up, the Chinese would confront it solely without help from the Russians.
The Hallmark of the Western alliance is it ironclad security guarantee, should the Americans agree to include an article V style in its negotiations with Ukraine, they Ukrainians would jump on it instantly even if it means ceding some Territory.

Kingsnairaland:
Napoleon Bonaparte’s "sanction" against Britain refers to the Continental System (or Continental Blockade), a large-scale economic warfare campaign aimed at crippling the British economy, which was launched between 1806 and 1814. Because the Royal Navy's superiority made a direct invasion impossible after the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), Napoleon sought to destroy Britain's commerce—its "lifeline"—by preventing British goods from entering any part of the European continent.

You claimed no one brought war to France's Napoleon before he started losing battles, I only showed you he was already facing the British navy before the battle of Leipzig

From the pictures below you can understand what I mean by limited missiles in ships. Iran has thousands of drones and anti shipping missiles.

This will be an air campaign for the USA. How long can they sustain the campaign? Will they achieve their objectives? They’ll kill a lot of civilians, that’s it. The economic and military defeat is a sure thing.

The USA has no defence for hypersonic missiles, the 12 days war confirmed this. Like I said, when the shooting starts eyes go clear.

I see the pro-west folks are at it again because they either don't understand the meaning of peer and near-peer, or are trying too hard to promote the outdated western narrative about the US not having a peer.

In their fantasy world, the US doesn't have a peer, Russia and China are near-peers, and everyone else is inferior. Nope 👇

Peer = They can fight and defeat the US, or the US can defeat them, whichever one. But both sides will feel it, irrespective of who wins. A peer has a large military and a large industrial capacity to sustain a long-term war against the US. E.g., Russia and China.

Near-peer = They can stand their own in a fight against the US. They are less likely to win against the US, but can cause some very serious damage. A near-peer has a large military and considerable industrial capacity to sustain a long-term war. E.g., North Korea and Iran.

This is a common sense definition. Whether a country is a peer or near-peer has nothing to do with their defence budget, the ability to strike the US mainland, or their possession of nuclear weapons, aircraft carriers, or even an all-round advanced military.

Nuke are outliers and not something a country deploys in a conventional war, so they don't count. Defence budget can be very relative while striking the US mainland will have low strategic and zero tactical value.

Aircraft carriers, for their part, are just floating, movable military airports with zero (or near-zero) offensive and defensive capabilities. They rely on their jets for attack and depend on other ships for defence.

Having an advanced military is a requirement but it doesn't need to be all-round. They just need some offensive aspect of it to be advanced enough to cause serious damage to the US.

And for Iran, that offensive aspect is the IRGC and its massive air drone, sea drone, and missile forces, which the US either doesn't have, or doesn't have any defense against. That's what makes Iran a near-peer to the US.

Yoo, good question! Before Napoleon’s *Russian campaign (1812)*, no foreign power actually _invaded_ France itself. France under Napoleon was on the offensive, spreading its influence across Europe.

But there were some *attempts and threats* of invasion:

- *Britain* tried naval raids and supported anti-French coalitions, but never landed a full-scale invasion.
- *Spain and Portugal* were battlegrounds, but not invaders of France.
- *Austrian and Prussian forces* fought Napoleon’s armies outside France, but didn’t cross into French territory until after 1812.

So basically, *France was never successfully invaded before 1812*, it was more like Napoleon was the one pushing into other countries. The big invasion of France only happened after his Russian disaster, when the Sixth Coalition rolled in.

Wanna dive into how those post-Russia invasions went down?

⚡A Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile launched from Kursk Oblast just struck a target near Trostyanets, Sumy Oblast. A Russian recon drone is operating here.

Ballistic missiles were also detected flying towards Kremenchuk, Poltava Oblast, however this was likely the work of Russian electronic warfare.

⚡Several explosions occurred in Lviv, near the local prison.

The city authorities report a possible terrorist attack, a female police officer was killed, and over a dozen victims were hospitalized. It is noted that the second explosion occurred near the site of the first explosion, when the police and ambulance had already arrived there.

According to a number of reports, the police in Lviv were ambushed after receiving a false call about an illegal break-in at a store, and when the unit entered the building, an explosion occurred. The second explosion followed after the arrival of another unit.

The video shows the moment of the second explosion.
