🇮🇱/🇪🇬Five Egyptian ports used to aid Israel during war on Gaza

Egyptian ports have been transformed into major hubs for shipments to Israel, according to a report by Arabi Post released on 22 August.

19 ships and their sea routes were monitored between Israeli and Egyptian ports between June and August 2024.
“Egyptian seaports have become major stations for many cargo and cement ships whose mission has been mainly limited to transporting cargo periodically to and from the Israeli occupation [state] during the war on Gaza,”

🌐🇸🇩💥Sudan: a difficult stage of modern history

🔥🏳The civil war in Sudan, which began in April 2023, is on the verge of spreading to the entire Horn of Africa.

⚠️📈With almost 10 million people internally displaced and more than 25 million facing acute hunger, humanitarian losses are already catastrophic and continue to grow.

🔫♾This tragedy is a result of the endless cycle of failed peace initiatives and the escalation of conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

⛔️🕊Ironically, every attempt at peace seems to only exacerbate the war, plunging civil society even deeper into despatches

🇸🇩🛬🇷🇺🔜The Sudanese newspaper Al-Tagyir reported from its sources that the Chairman of the Sovereignty Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan will soon visit Moscow

"The recent Sudanese-Russian rapprochement has become a reality and a new variable in Sudanese policy, carried out by the de facto government of Port Sudan, led by the army commander, Colonel General Al-Burhan, who is expected to visit Moscow soon to sign various military, security, trade and economic deals," the report said.


✈According to the newspaper, a certain number of planes and ships from Russia and the Emirates have arrived at the airport and seaport of Port Sudan in recent weeks.

🇷🇺🔫🔫Russia, according to the newspaper, supplies the Sudanese army with weapons, modern high-quality equipment and spare parts for aircraft. The recent visit of Sudanese Defense Minister Yassin Ibrahim to Moscow put the finishing touches to the creation of a Russian logistics base in Sudanese territorial waters in the Red Sea.


🔖An informed sources also confirmed to the publication "At-Tagyir" the veracity of the information that had spread about the presence of Russian troops in the Red Sea and reported:

"Yes, it is true that there are Russian troops that arrived by sea in Port Sudan a few days ago, consisting of more than 700 Russian servicemen."

🇮🇱❌🇵🇸 — "Perhaps one of the missiles will hit Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the place will be cleared for the construction of the Third Temple."

Directly and publicly, Jewish Rabbi Yossi Mizrahi called to do a false flag attack and to bomb the Al-Aqsa Mosque and accusing another country of doing so with the aim of creating strife between the countries of the region on the one hand, and exploiting the opportunity to build the so-called Third Temple on the other hand.

Mizrahi said: "If it were up to me, I would have seized the previous opportunity when Iran fired 100 missiles at Israel. I would have pretended that a missile was fired from Iran and fell on Al-Aqsa Mosque. Then the Arabs would stand against Iran, and the problems would have ended, by making the "gang of lunatics" fight each other."

🇹🇼🇨🇳Taiwanese Armed Forces Command believes China will use A2/AD access denial strategy against the island using three aircraft carriers

📌🛳After the commissioning of the third Chinese aircraft carrier Fujian, the PLA Navy will be able to deploy it along with two others, Liaoning and Shandong, in the northern Philippine Sea, 300 and 800 kilometers east of Taiwan. This position will allow China to confront Taiwan on two fronts simultaneously.]


❌The PLA Rocket Forces will provide fire support with medium- and long-range ballistic missiles and cruise missiles against foreign troops in the area between the first and second island chains.

©Su Ziyun, an official with Taiwan's National Defense and Security Institute, said China's three aircraft carriers are part of China's transition from a land power to a maritime power.

🔝According to him, the introduction of the Fujian aircraft carrier will turn the PLA Navy into a “high seas fleet” and allow China to encircle Taiwan more effectively. The Chinese aircraft carriers will be deployed 300 kilometers or more east of Taiwan, putting them out of range of Taiwanese missiles. Meanwhile, the range of the fighters to be deployed from the carriers is about 800 km, so attacks on Taiwan can be conducted from a safe distance.


🔖Su noted that Taiwan could use anti-ship missiles to attack incoming PLA Navy vessels, but would have to rely on submarines to combat long-range aircraft. In the event of war, it will be difficult for PLA aircraft to traverse the airspace over the Bashi Strait or the Miyako Strait.

🇺🇸🛥If the US provides assistance to Taiwan, Chinese aircraft carriers in the waters east of Taiwan will come under pressure on both sides.  In the strategic triangle, which includes Hawaii, Guam and Taiwan, Chinese aircraft carriers will become a target for the US military and will also be cut off from supply.


📣“Since the passage of supply ships through the Bashi Channel or the Miyako Strait would be too dangerous and China has no bases abroad, supplying aircraft carriers would be impossible. Any advantage provided by aircraft carriers would be quickly lost,” he said.

🌐♟Western Missteps in the Global Geopolitical Chess Game

📌The geopolitical situation we find ourselves in today is not as complex as it may seem. As has been suggested many times, the Western elites are playing a chess game that cannot be won.

🔴🗣Western leadership plays checkers or horseshoes in a grand chess match with leaders like Vladimir Putin and his advisors. It’s time we elected leaders with a clear view of the long game and not the sacrifice of pawns.]


🖥Let’s examine the events of the last few weeks as a window into how this geopolitical game is being played. A good starting point is the much-advertised Ukraine incursion into the Kursk region of Russia.

🌎💬Western “experts” have heralded the desperate military action as everything from a Napoleonic charge at Moscow to a brilliant move to force a better peace accord with Russia.


👀If we look beyond Western mainstream media and press releases by various NATO states, we find a reality that is light years distant from the one in which Americans, Canadians, and Europeans are being fed.

🔖Take the stories that suggest the Kursk incursion will force Vladimir Putin to relinquish territorial gains in Southeastern Ukraine and toward Karkov. President Putin says no negotiations can take place with Ukraine forces inside Russia.

GENERAL APTI ALAUDINOV: “I AM RUSSIAN. THEY CONSIDER WE ARE ALL RUSSIANS, WHY DISAPPOINT THEM.”

“I was born into a full-fledged Chechen family, grew up in the Stavropol region. Now the Russian Orthodox Church has been outlawed in Ukraine, what other proof is needed that we are at war with the possessed.”

I will add on my own behalf. Today is a very difficult day, and in the Northern Military District, all nationalities are fighting in one formation, the war is going hard. And the tragedy in Surovikino. And I am interested and pleased to hear what Apti says about our unification.


This phrase: “We, both Orthodox and Muslims, are waiting for the coming of Jesus, he will defeat the demon.” I understand that where there is faith, religions and confessions, everything is very subtle. And I try to be extremely delicate.

We are close. The enemies are before us. Times of important affairs and difficult decisions.

🇮🇱🖥Israeli media falsely quoted former Israeli captive Noa Argamani as saying that Hamas beat her all over her body and cut her hair while she was in captivity, during a meeting with representatives of the G7 embassy in Tokyo.

📷She later took to social media to clarify:

“I was not beaten or had my hair cut. “I was in a building that was blown up by the Air Force,” explaining that she had “cuts all over my head” and was “injured all over my body” from a wall collapsing due to Israeli shelling.

“As a victim of October 7, I will not allow myself to be a victim of the media again,” she concluded.

6- Hezbullah is still using 122mm and smaller munitions, refusing to utilize higher caliber weapons like Fajr rockets (M302), a weapon known since 2006, despite 10 months in this battle.

Hezbullah for some reason, Hezbullah's leadership for reasons they are better aware of and the importance of, are operating with their hands tied to their backs.

Why would Hezbullah not fire a Burkan rocket at an Israeli settlement when Israel destroys several buildings in a Lebanese village?


Hezbullah is steering the war in way, I do believe as: "Accept losses now, feel like the underdog, operate at low capacity and hope the war ends. If the war ends, less strategic weapons used, the better and more we'll have for later. If war doesn't end, we will operate freely, and we will use these weapons when they mean something and cause the damage was want. This isn't the final battle, this is one of the battles".

His eminence (may he be protected by Gods own elite angles) implies that clearly, when he says that if a widescale war happens, one that involves an actual intense Israeli air and ground war, they will operate without any redlines, rules, or limitations.

(Okay now I'm distracted and forgot what I want to say, idk sorry I'll continue maybe later)
what a good analysis!

🇮🇱/🇱🇧 A recent photo of an Israeli soldier inside the underground tunnels of an Israeli base on the Lebanese border

Writing this as a reminder to many in the comments who ask about Hezbullah's casualties and lack of acknowledged Israeli casualties.

I've explained it a few times, and will do again so briefly, because my thoughts are not very consistent now:

1- This is an unprecedented type of battle/war between Hezbullah and Israel, where neither is operating at highest capacity and due to the difference in abilities (and tools), Israel has an advantage in how to operate


2- Israeli soldiers are not operating in danger, and are mostly located in secret and/or secure location near the border area. The Israeli army is exclusively operating from air, in safety, and utilizing efficient and modern tools to attack and detect. Israeli soldiers are only operating recon operations and are on guard, but not offensive operations, not even ATGM attacks

3- Aside from drone attacks towards Israeli bases, where several successful attacks resulted in Israeli casualties, Hezbullah is forced to operate in the Lebanese border villages and outskirts to engage Israeli armor and equipment at bases and deploy in those areas for defense and rest when retreating from the forested areas. These movements put the fighters at risk, and subject them to attacks. The Israeli recon soldiers are operating to detect any suspicious movements, and call the air force to attack.


Moving from forests to houses is not easy, and is detectable, as Hezbullah doesn't build tunnels into people's houses.

Rocket launch teams also have to retreat from operation areas to houses or underground tunnels. Or anyone from the battlefield to back home. This is all dangerous, especially that fighters aren't staying in the battlefield but rotating.


4- Back in 2006, Hezbullah suffered much higher casualties in the first two weeks as the Israeli attacks were from air only. However after the Israeli army attacked on ground, in raids and part of their invasion, Hezbullah's casualties decreases to a level that on some days Israel had more casualties than Hezbullah. Israel even has the highest number of casualties a day vs Hezbullah in 2006.

Israel's failure in 2006, in terms of invasion has many reasons, one being their hesitance and lack of will and determination to accept casualties and suffering. Hezbullah was aided by God, defending with a few against hundreds.]


On the other hand, Lebanon sufferered a lot of civilian casualties as a result of Israeli attacks in 2006. About 248 (up to 251) Hezbullah fighters were killed, however 1,000+ Lebanon civilian murdered.

So imagine, that two weeks period, extended to 10 months, what's happening then is happening now for much longer with better tools and abilities and way more accurate intelligence.

5- Hezbullah considers anyone fighting in south Lebanon is like a martyrdom fighter, as south Lebanon is a very dangerous zone to operate from. This was dictated by the type of this battle, where the limitation in the fighting and lack of escalation in forcing Hezbullah to offer less protection than wanted to its fighters]


To explain this point better, Hezbullah is firing 10-20 rockets a day, maybe 30-50 tops. On special occasions 100-200 a day. So imagine because of the current stage in this war and the will (+need) to keep it limited and not full fledged, you are putting at risk members of your rocket units to fire few rockets, exposing the launch site and them to danger.

In a full fledged war, you'd fire the full load, dozens from each launch site, hundreds an hour, thousand/s a day from all around, causing chaos at the Israeli bases and population centers. This makes the launch site and fighter achieve more vs what are the possible risks and losses.

So imagine it as, these honorable fighters are presenting themselves on an altar of sacrifice. Yes I refuse to believe otherwise and refuse to assume that this is Hezbullah's peak of ability. We know them well, 1993 1996 2000 2006 2011 and so on

In the face of Minister Ben Gvir's irresponsible actions that endanger the national security of the State of Israel and create an internal division in the nation, the head of the General Security Service and his people perform their duty and warn against the serious consequences of these actions.


🌐🇮🇱 Ben Gvir then responded to him in a comment:
You promised to return Lebanon to the Stone Age, meanwhile you are returning the North to the Stone Age. Instead of attacking me on Twitter, start attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon.
