⚡Iranian Deputy Interior Minister Saeed Majid Ahmadi announced that a sum equivalent to 3 billion euros has been allocated to the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces to block Iran's borders. The sharp increase in funding is almost guaranteed to be linked to the increasing attacks by militant groups on IRGC positions, particularly in the troubled province of Sistan and Balochistan. In the last couple of months alone, the militants of the so-called Baloch group Jaish ul-Adl have carried out more than a dozen attacks in various populated areas. And they are using uncontrolled parts of the borders with Pakistan for hideouts. 1 Like |

You ask China to stop sending Russia not even weapons, but components that can be used to make weapons, but you continue to send weapons to Israel. This erodes the credibility of the US. Not only here in China but all over the world. What do you say? 12 Likes 3 Shares

⚡US aid can’t buy troops: Ukrainian soldier says ‘no one’ willing to join army A Ukrainian soldier from the notorious Azov battalion offered a frank analysis of the country’s war effort to a local news outlet this weekend. “No one is willing to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine nowadays,” said the soldier, identified as “Niko,” to a local news outlet. The soldier continues to fight on despite having lost one of his legs in combat, insisting that there is no one to replace him. A shortage of personnel has wreaked havoc in the country’s armed forces in recent months, with fatigue contributing to a breakdown in discipline and effectiveness as troops are unable to be rotated. The dynamic was on display recently as Russia was able to liberate a village in the Donetsk People’s Republic reportedly almost unopposed. The soldier added that “literally no one” is willing to go to Ukraine’s front lines. It has emerged in recent weeks that multiple Ukrainian troops have refused to take orders from the country’s new commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky, who is viewed less favorably than former military head Valerii Zaluzhny. 3 Likes
