⚡So they banned Chinese electric vehicles in USA.

But they allowed Waymo to import them and use their cheaper electric cars for an exorbitant taxi service meanwhile the Americans don’t get to buy cheaper electric vehicles

Peak capitalism.

🌎 The Israeli military has directly informed CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper that Israel does not need approval or support from the US to wage war against Iran.

Israel is preparing for a unilateral strike on Iran as it concludes the US is no longer willing to finish the war on its terms.
Lol, now i get where everything is going to.

We are not fools and can see the plans.

Iran has warned repeatedly that a strike on her infrastructures will mean all infrastructures in the middle east going up in flames.
So to give saudi a cover, they have to bring in the turks and pakis to sign MOU to cover saudi incase things to messy.
That way, the US can excuse themselves while isreal says she will go and do the job and ready to take the hit.
Isreal comes in and destroy Irans critical facilities and iran is left with 1 option out of 2

- Attack isreal back and take out her infrastructures. Soft work.
That is all what they are all banking on.
Let isreal and iran take out each others while the gulf and US stay by the side.
When Iran has bleeded well, they come in and finish the job.
Isreal gets fixed back with the gulf money in few years.

2. Iran attacks all infrastructures as claimed and turkey with pakistan jumps in to attack iran.
That way, the muslim world can bleed each other to death before the US and Isreal come in to finish the job or show them what and what to hit and take out.

🌎 Russia officially opens new Arctic trade sea route connecting China with Europe.

Russia's state nuclear giant Rosatom, operator of the Northern Sea Route via the Arctic, said on Friday ‌it had issued permits for seven Chinese transit vessels to sail to Europe via the NSR.
It is the reason the US wants to take Greenland to wait for them at the choke point just like strait of hormuz

I have heard you sir. The US government, US media, and US military analysis are all lying about running out of interceptor missiles. It is you who is correct.

The US has more than enough interceptors because the US approved the sale but failed to deliver interceptor missiles to multiple countries, including Switzerland since 2022.

The delays are not due to unavailability of the missiles. Rather, they are a sign that the US has those interceptors in abundance. Because when you have something in abundance, you delay delivery. Thank you professor.
It befuddles common sense if you believe a behemoth like the US military has a dangerously low stockpile of anything as long as war is concerned.

The World's SOLE Superpower.

🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡
As for you, I don't even know what to say again. You and your Russia are now so much of a laughing stock no one takes you serious anymore.
If the US is not the world's sole superpower, is it your Russia that has left all of Russia devoid of air defence systems concentrating what is left in Moscow and St. Petersburg that is?

Is it your Russia that is now attacking Ukraine once in 3 days?

🌎 China says it will present the world with the strongest evidence that COVID-19 originated in the United States.
And one year later, we will still be asking "when and where is the report"?
US already dropped its own.
Asides even supporting US, there is little doubt that the virus came from China simply looking at how Wuhan struggled with the epidemic even after most of the world relaxed when it waned.

🌎 Yemen's Houthis have struck the Saudi Aramco Berri gas plant in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia, one of the largest gas processing facilities in the country. NASA FIRMS Satellite imagery also shows a massive fire burning at the site.

This is the first attack on Saudi Arabia energy facilities in roughly 2 weeks.

⚡Taiwan plans to increase defence spending by 16% in 2027 to over $31 billion, exceeding 3% of GDP.

The move comes as Taiwan strengthens its military amid growing pressure from China and calls from the U.S. to spend more on defence.

⚡Houthis has launched another salvo of ballistic missiles towards Saudi-backed PLC positions in Yemen.

⚡Germany’s trade deficit with China widened to €55 billion in the first half of 2026, as German exports to China fell 12% to below €37 billion, while imports from China rose 8.9% to €91.8 billion.

China has become less dependent on European goods and is increasingly competing with German manufacturers, putting further pressure on Germany’s industrial sector.

It makes perfect sense that the US will run out of super-expensive but low-volume items like interceptor missiles and highly-specialized precision missiles. Everything in the US starts and ends with money. And the Military-Industrial Complex is structured such that it defies basic economics. In sane societies, products become cheaper the more they are produced, but in the US MIC, they become more expensive the more they are produced. They call it gold-plating over there. Educate yourself and quit defending what you know isn't true.

🌎 U.S Senate passes bill allowing 100% tariffs on India.
India the toothless giant. Despite being subservient to the US, they still get screwed doggy style, over and over. In a sane world, India should be the primary economic competitor to China.

riyadh and washington is like a doomed relationship where one party knows it is over
but they choose to remain for a few months so they can get their ducks in a row

riyadh knew a divorce was inevitable when pissreal attacked qatar
in coordination with the us

think about it, the us came to the gulf nations and floated a joint defense shield
with a network of radars and air defense installations across the middle east
this was set up ostensibly to counter a hypothetical attack by iran or its allies

then the minute the genocidal ghouls wanted to attack a target in a country with the largest us base and one of the anchors of this defense shield
all of a sudden the defense shield stopped working
the missiles were not detected
no interceptor was launched

riyadh saw that and realized pissreal actually controlled the so-called american air defenses in their territory
the day the genocidal ghouls want to attack saudi arabia, their air defense will also stop working
since china and russia are iran's allies
and europe is a lost cause
the only options left were pakistan, turkey, and egypt




here's the most important part
riyadh will not cut off ties completely with the us until it has a proper, battle-tested alternative
they will not move prematurely because the us can still punish them in multiple ways
so they will keep signing arms deals for thaads, patriots, jets, and more

but their plan is to get alternatives for everything
they'll pump money into pakistani and turkish military innovation programs
and provide a large market for their defense products
on paper, it is the best of both worlds
turkish tech is based on western tech
pakistani tech is based on chinese (axis) tech

the diplomats have done the hard work
let's see how the alliance operates in practice

-Lord
It may actually backfire on Saudi Arabia. Saudi military is a joke. A Maidan like protest might be too hot for Erdogan to handle. No air defense, no fighter jets. Don't think Putin will be willing to save his @ss for the second time. Being a NATO member won't save him because NATO will choose Israel.
I can trust the Pakis to deliver cox they share a direct border with China cox Beljin won't like Zionist government in Islamabad, not after seeing the partnership between Israel & India. For me, I will replace Turkiye with Algeria in that alliance.

I remember when Elensky offered to help America unblock the Strait of Hormoz after IRGC close it. Now the same Elensky is asking for an emergency UN Security Council meeting to help reopen Ukrainian access to the sea.

If Ukrainian armed forces can unblock the Strait of Hormoz, what's stopping them to open Black Sea for Ukrainian vessels?

algeria likes to keep their distance from regional affairs
they would only do normal solidarity moves

they are laser focused on morocco
they barely have bandwidth for anything else because unlike core axis powers they have no allies in their immediate vicinity
their closest sea route to russia runs through contested waters

⚡France has submitted its final proposal for 114 Rafale fighters to India, worth around $35–39 billion, including production of 94 aircraft in India and about 50% localization.

This budget could buy over 320 5th generation fighters Su-57, F-35 or 4.5th generation fighters KF-21.

⚡Colombian cartels and rebel groups are seeking Ukrainian drone warfare expertise, with some Colombians fighting in Ukraine allegedly returning home with advanced drone skills.

Officials warn the knowledge transfer is making armed groups more effective and eroding the Colombian military's long-held air superiority.
