⚡One of the targets of last night's ballistic missile attack on Kyiv was the JSC "Darnytskyi Concrete Works" Plant, in the eastern industrial zone of Kyiv.

The plant was hit by 2 modified S-400 ballistic missiles and 2 Iskander-M ballistic missiles. Another location closer to the centre of Kyiv west of the river was hit by 2 modified S-400 ballistic missiles.

A large fire broke out at the concrete plant, as evidenced by a photo and NASA FIRMS data.

We saw videos of US launching HIMARS missiles from Kuwait. So why shouldn't Iran hit where the missiles are coming from?

Are you that daft?

Israel so far has not launched anything from its territory at Iran. If they do, expect Iran to pound Tel Aviv to hell.

Reports are circulating that the PDFile intends to BLAME China for LOSING the election against Joe Boden in 2020.

For context, the PDFile has previously blamed Democrats and Iran for him being a LOSER.

Only people he has ever won against are WOMEN.

Hopefully, this doesn't stop at just TARIFFS and SANCTIONS against China.

Let them use this excuse to send FREEDOM to China so that China can send FREEDOM back.

You people can be quite comic on this thread😂.

One wide aneemal above you attempted to paint Iran as being afraid of striking Israel as if he was blind to the outcome of the 12d and 40d battles between the respective parties.

Now you're hilariously positing that Trump just might cook up a conflict with China over the former's 2020 election loss conjectures, as if we weren't here when the same delusional old man blamed Russia and eventually the Democrats for that same election outcome.

Y'all need to calm the fvck down! Trump might often prove to be high-handed, but even he is not that st*pid to open a conflict front with China while being occupied in the ME and Ukraine.

Na you suppose reason sef, Israel is far away and it takes time for missiles to travel from Iran to Israel and the US have a lot of early warning radar system surrounding Iran so you expect their top officials to sit in one place waiting to be hit when they have been forewarned minutes ago?

Why do think Iran's prime target in the middle East is the US radar systems.

battle is never about nuclear weapons because in the first place, there is no nuclear.
When they want to attack a country, they first give it a bad name.

- Maduro is dealing with the drug cartels - Imagine that. What does a sitting president need drug money for? when he has oil and other resources.

- Saddam has weapons of mass destruction
- Assad used chemical weapons on his citizens
And many more.
It is a battle for power and domination.
To root out the pocket of resistance remaining - China, russia, iran etc
The question is why do they need to root out these countries? since they have majority in their pocket
Because they don't want the countries within their sphere to have or see other alternatives.
If China, russia and iran starts prospering outside the western empire, sooner or later, those who are not satisfied with the US domineering nature and sharing formula will be seeing the eastern block as good alternatives and will start barking back at the hegemon.

Which brings us back to Iran.

Iran is the gateway for the axis to the middle east.
China has spent billions in railway to connect iran to them and russia is using the caspian sea route that the US navy can't control to move or ship goods up and down inbetween.
In a war with China, the US will blockade the Strait of Malaca in singapore just exactly what Iran is doing now at the strait of Hormuz.
The malaca strait is where the bulk of asia goods pass through and a blockade will choke china even though china may fight to open the blockade (i will talk about this later).
Also, the US plan down the future war, as been singing of taking control of the panama canal so as to wait for china ships and blockade them when this war starts.
China knows this, russia knows this and everyone knows this. So to avoid coming head-on in collission with the US which will be catastrophic for both, china quietly started building alternative routes away from the US influence

The US seeing the game plan and the card china is playing, they are planning to wait at this choke points and blockade china in the upcoming war.
China alternative routes are -
1. The China to Iran road and belt way program that by-passes all US navy ships and sanctionsto connect to the middle east
2. Joining russia to open up the arctic route that by-passes US navy blockade routes and empire - the strait of malaca, the upcoming panal canal in their hands.
SO that china ships can safely pass the north pole area to reach anywhere in the world.
And what is the US planning? Forcefully taking over Greenland

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by emmaodet: 10:42am On Jul 16

By taking over Greenland, it serves 3 important purposes -

1. There is intel that greenland has very very large deposits of critical minerals that the US is stuggling to get due to china's sanctions on them. The critical elements are used in missiles, EVs, EV battery, chips etc
Anmd this will tilt the critical mineral game in their favour.

2. Part of the missiles to hit the western part of US will most likely come thrrough the north pole. So staioning bases there to neutralize them is an important security guarantee umberalla for them.

3. They also station US navy there so as to wait for the Russian/Chinese ships as a blockade. To game China/Russia moves

Nothing will ever change under Zelensky’s rule.

He does not need changes. Those who want changes and get to his government leave or are forced to leave.

I left when I understood I was able to change nothing and Zelensky was intended to have chaos. I left the moment I understood he closed the door for negotiations with Russia, and the decline of reforms was obvious and intentious.

Change is not possible under Zelensky. He needs war. He needs corruption. He needs autocracy.

Stop lying to yourself that it is about someone else. Check the reality, he’s been in power for over 7 years.

⚡Greece is blocking the EU's 21st sanctions package against Russia because a proposed ban on transporting Russian LNG to third countries would severely hurt Dynagas, a Greek shipping company that specializes in Arctic LNG transport.

Athens argues the company's highly specialized icebreaking LNG carriers cannot easily be repurposed, while other EU members say all countries have had to sacrifice businesses to maintain pressure on Moscow.

The dispute has delayed the entire sanctions package, including new measures targeting Russian banks, military firms, and the oil price cap.
