⚡Zelensky is pressing the European Union to move from promises to a concrete timeline on Ukraine’s membership.

“I want a date. I am asking for it,” he said, urging Brussels to stop delaying and to set a clear target — suggesting accession could happen as early as 2027.

“Let us not allow the next leaders or the next generation to face a situation where Russia blocks Ukraine’s EU membership for 50 years.”

To be fair I don't think Iran can win in a all out war with the US but in a situation like this I think the waiting for your enemy to make their move is not a one. Waiting doesn't mean you praying for the problem to go away rather calculating their move so that you can do maximum damage.
no one is talking about winning

it is that usrael is a crazy aggressor that has had iran in their sights for 47 years
if you are confronting an enemy that has had it in for you for 47 years and just conducted a genocide
you don't wait for them to take the first shot

that is just common sense




add that iran has hypersonics, real-time intelligence, and several excellent asymmetric advantages
and it goes from common sense to anyone in the persian high command (military or political) against pre-emptive strikes is a suspect

the time to prevent this war passed when they refused to get a nuke
now, war is inevitable and they must put themselves in the best position
waiting to be hit first does the exact opposite

it is that simple

what are you seeing on #toiletgate aboard the ford carrier?

it has been meme'd to hell and back
somewhat obfuscating the substance




rather than move into position in israel
it is currently docked at greece

whatever is going on with it
they're not going to start a war, while it is docked within iran's missile range

to put this in perspective, all their ships in the persian gulf have left the docks since they started talking about everything being in position to strike
a ship at a dock is a static target like a base

imagine 4000 people at edge of a carrier.

I feel somebody can make deliberate decision to spoil those things in order not fight. Just my thoughts

🤣😂😀

the hilarious fact is that this does happen sometimes
naval deployments are not glamorous




it is also interesting that the reason why the war has not started is totally unpredictable sh*t (pun intended)
the ford did its mission off the coast of venezuela
it was supposed to go back to port before getting ready for a new deployment
but when the pentagon vetoed trump sending the HW Bush carrier group
they were bumped up as the replacement

so rather than go to port
they did a replenishment by sea
that delayed arrival
and now they're finding out only after getting to the theatre of operations
that they have a sewage problem
this is stuff that would have been taken care of, if they had stuck to the pentagon schedule

but satanyahu showed up and demanded a carrier
so a carrier was sent over

that's why i wanted to know from writer if he was hearing anything more concrete
from where i sit, they have to flush it all off, do thorough cleanup/disinfecting and maybe conduct a few repairs
doesn't seem like stuff that should take a week
but there's no telling how long it'll take




when the pentagon vetoed the deployment of the HW Bush carrier group
they simply told the white house that they discovered a new classified issue that prevented its deployment

it'd be interesting to see what they do here
especially after the pentagon leaked to the press that they think the war is too risky

it is funny though that they're using literal sh*t
to clog up (pun intended) the maniacal push for war by the pedos

i get why the navy is doing this
they do not want to lose assets in a st***d war of choice when american shipbuilding is struggling to keep up with the chinese
and no admiral wants to be the officer in charge who loses an aircraft carrier in the post ww2 era

the army and marines are like, f*ck that, we want no part in this
we've had enough sand adventures




it also bears pointing out that against iraq
the navy sent 6 aircraft carriers to the middle east
SIX
against an army that they had bribed to stand down

whatever the plan is here
the navy is not very excited about it
and it is showing from their malicious compliance

worse, send it when it is due to return to port

⚡Last night, Russia carried out a large-scale attack on Zaporizhzhia City.

At least 12 Geran-2 drones attacked the "Horizon" 150 kV substation and the "Suputnyk" 150 kV substation in the Khortytsia District, most of which impacted.

9-10 KAB glide-bombs also impacted targets in and around the southern part of the city.

In Dnipro, an IED detonated at a police station. There were no injuried.

This comes as 2 days ago, an attack took place in Lviv after three bombs went off, killing a police officer and wounding 25 other people.

Ukrainian authorities state that the perpetrators of these attacks were being instructed by Russia.

⚡The Pentagon has received no orders to send a U.S. Navy hospital ship to Greenland, despite Trump’s claim that one is “on its way.”

U.S. officials said both hospital ships — the USNS Comfort and the USNS Mercy — are currently in maintenance in Alabama and not preparing to deploy.

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 7:25am On Feb 24
⚡European intelligence officials warn Russia has been buying property near military bases and critical infrastructure across Europe, potentially creating a network of sites that could be used for surveillance or sabotage in a future crisis.

Authorities suspect Russian-linked individuals and entities have acquired homes, cabins, warehouses, and even islands close to naval bases, airfields, undersea cable routes, and energy infrastructure.

Some officials fear certain sites could already contain equipment or serve as staging points for covert operations.

Examples cited include:

▪️ A Finnish island equipped with piers, a helipad, and surveillance gear.
▪️ Properties near Norwegian F-35 bases and naval facilities.
▪️ Russian Orthodox Church sites close to strategic locations in Scandinavia.
▪️ Suspected acquisitions near British and Mediterranean military assets.

⚡Two U.S. F-16 “Wild Weasel” pilots survived a Houthi surface-to-air missile ambush over Yemen in March 2025, escaping six missiles in about 15 minutes and earning Silver Stars.

Their aircraft were equipped with HARM Targeting System (HTS) pods and fired AGM-88 HARM anti-radiation missiles before exiting the area.

After the strike, the Houthis executed a “SAMbush,” waiting until U.S. aircraft were egressing before activating radars and launching.

“We only had about 15–20 seconds of indications ahead of time.”

Lt. Col. William “Skate” Parks turned directly into an incoming missile — a last-ditch defensive tactic — and it passed beneath his wing.


“Close enough I can hear the rumble.”

Maj. Michael “Danger” Blea watched another missile close in.

“This is my only chance. I have one chance to make this miss.”

It missed by an estimated few dozen feet.

Pulling high-G defensive maneuvers and burning fuel rapidly, both jets risked flameout over hostile territory.

A tanker crew moved closer to the threat area and refueled them mid-crisis.

Both jets made it back safely after what they described as seconds separating them from death.

⚡Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) claims that Britain and France are preparing to arm Ukraine with a nuclear bomb.

⚡Iranian Army training helicopter crashed in Dorcheh, Khomeini Shahr (Isfahan Province), inside a wholesale fruit and vegetable market compound.

Both the pilot and co-pilot were killed.

No confirmed reports of additional casualties on the ground.


Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by WriteerNg: 9:36am On Feb 24
⚡The crashed helicopter was reportedly a Bell AH-1J Super Cobra, a pre-revolution attack helicopter still operated by Iranian Army Aviation.

Four people were killed: the pilot, co-pilot, and two civilians working at the market.

Iran's Super Cobra fleet has reportedly suffered previous losses during recent regional fighting, with some aircraft allegedly destroyed on the ground.
