It finally happened. We have reached the absolute dumbest possible tweet in the history of this entire site.
Pepe Escobar@RealPepeEscobar
EXCLUSIVE THE REAL STORY OF THE ISRAELI COUNTER RESPONSE From a very high level intel source. In Asia. NOT Russia-China. Although the strategic partnership, of course, exchanges at the highest level 24-7. Confirmed and re-confirmed. It will be great to know what Sy Hersh hears from his Beltway sources. Here we go. Israel initially chose to respond with extreme force. An F-35 loaded with a nuclear bomb was sent east over Jordan. The mission: cause a high-altitude detonation over Iran that would provoke a surge in the high-capacity power lines, crippling Iran's electric grid, as well as disabling all electronic devices. An EMP attack. However... ... As the Israeli F-35 was leaving Jordanian airspace it was shot down by the Russian Air Force. Hence the publicised version of the Israeli counter response was such a travesty. In the end all sides decided not to publicise the real news - to de-escalate what could well turn into WWIII.

@HistoricalGamer @KushanGaming They are also very likely the best value for money for American security.

Just remember everyone, while we struggle to pay bills, put food on our tables, and watch our southern border be invaded; Biden is sending his sugar baby Zelensky more of your tax money.

@PicturesFoIder Unfair, Australians use the metric system, so she had an advantage when using kg.

@shashj 1. Attritional Phase. Not necessarily the same as stalemate
2. Technology AND matériel+ doctrine
3. Not immediately, but attrition might open possibilities
4. Only if the West succumbs to Russian information warfare and ceases support. Else 🇺🇦 has attrition superiority
English
@OAlexanderDK Where does attrition lead strategically though? If Western support stays high, Russian lines might collapse at some point. If not, attrition rates are unlikely to favour Ukrainian organic force generation potential.
English
In regards to the original goals of liberating a large land area, I agree.
However once the priority pivoted towards the attrition of Russian military capacity it became more successful.
Was it a success? No. Did it succeed in further attriting the Russian military? Yes.
Neil Hauer@NeilPHauer
Almost five full months into Ukraine's counteroffensive, with action winding down, I think it's safe to say it has been a serious failure. The overarching goal was to liberate a large amount of territory, including the cities of Tokmak and Melitopol, and this has not happened.
English
@JaysonGeroux Pretty straightforward. The difficult bit about nukes is the delivery, especially in the 50ies when they were massive. So what if the prophet does not need to come to the mountain? Especially in some areas like the Fulda gap where Soviet forces would be funnelled narrowly?

Good for a chuckle.
"Back in the mid-fifties, the British army was wrestling with the question of how to give British troops time to retreat if the Soviet hordes broke through their defences in Germany.
You generally lay mines as you retreat, if you have…

@Textyorgua_Eng I doubt the 180° course changes. Flying to Kyev and then back to something you overflew earlier? Needless exposure to intercepts and massive expenditure of delta-v.

Decoding Russian missile maneuvers during the mass rocket attack on Ukraine on 21 September 🗺⤵
Russian missiles struck in multiple waves, entering Ukrainian airspace from different directions, constantly altering their course along the way.
Based on night-time reports from "Operatyvnii Inform" Telegram channel, TEXTY mapped the approximate route of Russian missiles.
A total of 43 Kh-101/Kh-555/Kh-55 cruise missiles were fired from 10 strategic aviation Tu-95 aircraft. Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed 36 of these missiles. Near Kharkiv, Russian forces deployed surface-to-air guided missiles launched from the S-300 system.

If you look closely you can see subtle signs the German army requires more modernisation than thought twitter.com/Nordstaedter/s…

@RooksAndKingz @CommandDevTeam Hi Kevin. YouTuber with no professional military background but quite a few hours of command under my belt.

Hard to say anything positive about this.
After initially losing 4 M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA IFVs, 1 Leopard 2A6 and a BMR-2 armored demining vehicle in one location, 4 more M2A2 Bradley ODS-SA IFVs drove to the exact same position and started taking loses.

@GeneralButler_ @RALee85 On corruption. These tyres might well have been issued as „new“ a couple of times.
English
A Russian channel complains about the quality of the tires used by military trucks, which is a particular problem in flooded areas. They say they can only replace the wheels after 52k km, but the tire below has only driven 42k km.

@simonharley Debated only by those with a one-dimensional definition of victory.
Germany inflicted more damage (minor tactical victory), but failed in its operational goal of changing the balance (operational loss). Strategically it also contributed to the successful sailor’s revolt.

The Battle of Jutland took place on this day (and into the night) in 1916 between the British Grand Fleet and the German High Sea Fleet. The result of the clash continues to be debated to this day. #history

Maybe the mission actually failed again:

Putin is literally staring at the words “Ukraine — Pays des Cossaques” across current Ukraine on this map from 1670.

When the low-skill councillor finally finishes the „fabricate claim mission“ one year after you have declared without a casus belli, taking a stability hit. #paradox #crusaderkings #eu4
Konstantin Sonin@k_sonin
This is an official Kremlin video and it is totally crazy. Putin justifies his war against Ukraine by finding a (one!) 17th century map in which the Ukrainian lands are marked as a part of Russia. Ukraine didn't exist at the time, he says. So what?! United States did not exist either. Italy did not exist. Germany... Most European countries of today did not exist then.

Lol... I now have been asked to "add more of a technology focus" to an existing Matrix Game about "The High North" and possible problems in the Arctic... With 2 days notice... I'm thinking - should I add "opportunity costs" to these as well?

@Jack_Watling Question for the experts: why is home-on-jam on some sort of loitering munition not much more wide spread?
