⚡Fear of Ukrainian drones empties the guesthouses in Latvia's Land of Blue Lakes.

Eastern Latvia is an extraordinarily tranquil and picturesque woodland region known as the Land of Blue Lakes, where there's ​usually not a huge amount to do, which is exactly why tourists come every summer.

But faced with the ​prospect of being interrupted to find shelter from stray Ukrainian attack drones, tourists are staying away, and some 500 ​small businesses that rely on them are heading for financial trouble, said Jelena Kijasko of the regional tourism industry association.


Since late May, no drones arrived for two weeks. That gave rise to hope that the situation had improved. But then, on Monday, a ​French NATO jet was forced to shoot another drone down.

Alas, "now we know it will not be so easy," Kijasko told ​Reuters, hours after the incident.
Stray Ukrainian military drones have been entering the airspace of Latvia and its Baltic neighbours since March. Kyiv ‌and ⁠the NATO countries say the weapons have been diverted from intended targets in Russia by Russian signal jamming.

Namaster:
Okay.

But if Aragchi and the rest INSIST the negotiations will continue, what exactly is STOPPING the IRGC from IGNORING him and just SHELLING the American TERRORISTS?

After all, it's the Military that are getting MURDERED.

As for the Nukes, the Military should simply be ACCUSING anybody against it of TREASON and HANGING them.

CRACKING down on the ANTI-NUKE stance may have been fraught with Political UPROAR prior to the 2025 ATTACKS and the ASSASSINATION of their Supreme Leader.

If they decide to HANG any ANTI-NUKERS right now, NOBODY will blame them.
In fact, that's what EVERYBODY expects.

Everybody BELIEVED that the ASSASSINATION of Khamenei would SPUR them into the development and acquisition of Nuclear Weapons.

Everybody thought EVERY Iranian Leader would be singing "Baby, I gat the Nukes! Nukes!" even in their SLEEP.
i have touched on the limitations on the irgc/hard liners before

i'll state it again plainly

this war started because some 15 to 30% of the population were okay or were ambivalent to epstein-backed terrorists burning down the country

as bad as the reformists are, they're in the 70 or so percent that backed the republic

you purge the reformist figures and you have to manage a war and an economy under severe pressure with just 30% core support and 70% who are disenfranchised

you can see the problem with the math




secondly, many reformist leaders outside the government have been purged including former officials

how to purge those in the government during an existential war is the bottleneck

it would have been way easier if Jalili had won and the conservatives controlled the executive
it would have been very easy to silence the reformists currently in government who would be in the opposition writing opeds and bs
and their support base will fall in line due to the rally around the flag phenomenom
that cannot happen now. if they get purged, the support base will be pissed and who knows how they will react




then you get to the institutional shackles placed on the irgc/hardliners

the current system of government was over-engineered to prevent one group from achieving total dominance

recall that the irgc was set up to prevent the regular military from doing what we now want the irgc to do

the mullahs created a gridlock where every level of the irgc, from the top brass to the brigade level has a mullah (called the supreme leader representative)
this system was copied from the communists and exists in china and nk today
the ccp has a party representative in each rung of the chinese military

same thing in iran
in each of the 16 military districts and every missile base, there is a towel head there to keep an eye on the military

the mullahs are only united by their desire to remain at the top of the food chain
at the individual level, there are as many reformists within their ranks as conversatives
for instance, the powerful grandson of khomeini (the first ayatollah) is a reformist

between all of the councils, offices, and institutions; iran is not like nigeria
where if the military wants to take over, it's about putting the president on house arrest
lock up the national assembly and announce a change in the system on NTA




i don't even know what the irgc/conservatives can do right now to unwound the gordian knot

something will have to break first

⚡Trump told Fox News a dramatic story about the Apache helicopter that went down earlier this week, calling it "a miracle."

According to Trump, an Iranian drone struck the helicopter and became lodged "between the two pilots" without exploding.

The aircraft was "on fire," and there was "a lot of heat inside the cockpit," while the pilots tried to bring it down safely before the drone could detonate "at any moment."

Despite the damage, the pilots managed to ditch the helicopter in the sea. About two hours later, they were rescued in what Trump said was the first rescue in U.S. military history carried out by an unmanned sea drone.

"It was a miracle," Trump said.

it is morbidly funny how the conservatives in iran have been quiet today
just frowning at the reformists

the reformists themselves told the mediators that negotiations cannot proceed in these conditions
and now a qatari delegation has made an emergency trip to tehran

the pakistanis just folding their hands
the genocidal ghouls struck beirut while the interior minister of pakistan (the current envoy) was in tehran
the iranians had to put him on a flight back to islamabad before their response days back

In WW2, Russia lost 27 million and still went on to become a superpower. They haven't even lost a quarter of that yet.

Russia's influence has grown to every continent.

Only clowns like you think Europe & North America is where the world ends.

Russia is virtually in all 54 African countries. Their military & civilian equipments can be found in all of Central, Western and Eastern Africa.

Let's not even talk of Asian powerhouses like Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam. These are countries with a larger industrial base than any individual European country.

Even in the heart of Europe, Russian influence can be found in countries like Turkey Serbia, Slovakia, Hungary, Bosnia & Austria.

⚡Georgia’s top MP says the EU is demanding that Tbilisi impose sanctions on Russia in exchange for preserving visa-free travel to the bloc.

Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili claims Brussels is effectively asking Georgia to "destroy" itself, adding "who will be able to visit the EU if we are dead?"

Georgia has refused to join Western sanctions on Russia, insisting that doing so would damage its own economy and risk destabilising the country.

A relevant country?
They can't even go to the worldcup 😂
Putin can't even fly over Europe ... Let alone over The Americas!

By that time, Russia will be more isolated than North Korea

⚡President Trump:

Iran’s Military is a complete and total mess. Much of it, like their Navy and Air Force, doesn’t even exist anymore - They have been completely defeated. Iran is all talk and no action. The Bully of the Middle East is DEAD!!! They’ve taken too long to negotiate a deal that would have been great for them, now they will have to pay the price!!!
Trump forgot that his friends in the Middle East are not selling their own oil too due to Iran blockade tioi[code][/code]

⚡The IAEA's Board of Governors passed a U.S.-backed resolution demanding Iran disclose the status of its remaining enriched uranium stockpiles and allow inspectors to verify them.

The measure passed 21–3, with Russia, China and Niger voting against.

⚡During the US attack on Iran tonight, the United States lost 2 highly sophisticated MQ-9 Reaper drones over Iranian airspace, with their combined value estimated $80 million.
But it doesn't really make sense.
You lost an apache and decided to take revenge by attacking back all for you to even lose more reaper drones, soldiers, more destroyed bases.
The maths is not making sense
