⚡Russian political commentator: The recent conflict has shown just how vital Iran is to us. Neither we nor China control maritime chokepoints. The United States wants to block the Straits of Malacca when China invades Taiwan to hurt Chinese economy. Iran, without blocking the Strait of Hormuz, has essentially reduced the US naval presence in other parts of the world by making the Red Sea unsafe. Iran can no longer be ignored. 11 Likes

⚡White House’s John Kirby: What Putin is doing in Ukraine is not an appropriate comparison here. Torture, rape, massacre of civilians, destruction of civilian infrastructure, terrorizing the entire population, this is all part of Putin's war plan. The Israelis do not make the massacre of civilians in Gaza, the torture and rape of civilians, a war objective. This is not part of their plan. They are not deliberately trying to kill civilians.

⚡The decision to dismiss the heads of all regional military commissions in Ukraine by decree of Zelensky has led to problems in the organisation of mobilisation in the country's armed forces, the AFU commander-in-chief, Valeriy Zaluzhny, has admitted in a conversation with Ukrainian journalists. "These were professionals, they knew how to do the mobilisation, and they are not there," he said in response to a question about what impact the dismissal of regional military commands had on the mobilisation process in Ukraine.

⚡On the preconditions for NATO countries to aggravate the situation in the Black Sea region. As we reported earlier, Romania, in response to the use of the Geranium-2 UAV on the Danube port infrastructure of Ukraine from December 13 to 14, scrambled its F-16 fighters for the first time (from the 86th air base in Fetesti) together with the Eurofighter Typhoon German Air Force (from the 57th airbase "M. Kogelniceanu" in Constanta). German fighters (four in total) were deployed to Romania on November 22 as part of NATO's Air Policing mission, designed to monitor airspace on the Alliance's borders. The aircraft operate within the framework of the NATO Integrated Air and Missile Defense System ( NATINAMDS ), coupled with ground-based air defense systems stationed in Romania. France is also involved in the process of monitoring Romanian and (apparently) Ukrainian air, having deployed its SAMP-T (MAMBA) air defense system as part of the mission "Eagle" Despite the stated purpose (monitoring the air situation), the actual degree of participation of NATO fighters and air defense systems is unknown. At the same time, the very fact of a public statement about the involvement of NATO combat aircraft in areas close to the combat zone and on routes for the use of Russian fire weapons is indicative. Previously, the Alliance was limited only to conducting reconnaissance flights in the Black Sea region. The current flights may indicate an increase in confrontational tendencies. In the future, the F-16s of the Turkish Air Force , which on December 5 at the 86th Air Base completed certification to participate in “Air Policing” and will begin performing tasks in Romania after December 20, 2023, may aggravate the situation in the region.
