@shanaka86 Serves them right. They also sold ammo that could not be used for what was made for.

BREAKING: The United States just took over $126 million from Switzerland’s fighter jet account to cover missile shortfalls in the Iran war. Switzerland did not approve this. Switzerland did not consent. Switzerland had already frozen its Patriot payments after learning deliveries would be delayed four to five years. The US circumvented the freeze. SRF, Switzerland’s national broadcaster, reported on March 26 that Washington redirected Swiss funds originally allocated for 36 F-35 fighter jets to cover Patriot air defence shortfalls using the Foreign Military Sales pooled trust fund, a structure that allows the Pentagon to reallocate payments across a buyer’s contracts without that buyer’s permission. Swiss armaments chief Urs Loher confirmed the diverted amount is a “low three-digit million” Swiss francs and called the situation “very unsatisfactory.” The money Switzerland paid for jets is now subsidising a war Switzerland refused to participate in. Bern halted new arms exports to the US on March 20 citing the Iran conflict. Switzerland rejected two US military flyover requests linked to Iran operations. Two hundred years of armed neutrality, and Washington reached into the account anyway. Here is why. The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors defending Gulf states in the first four days of Operation Epic Fury per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post last week. Lockheed Martin and Boeing produce 620 Patriot interceptors per year combined. In four days, America burned through eighteen months of global Patriot production. The war has consumed roughly one-third of the entire THAAD missile stockpile. Annual THAAD production does not exceed 100 units. The cost asymmetry is what makes the depletion irreversible at current production rates. Each PAC-3 interceptor costs $3.9 million. Each Iranian Shahed drone costs between $20,000 and $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times. Iran manufactures an estimated 10,000 Shaheds per month per Reuters. America produces 620 interceptors per year. Iran builds more drones in a single week than the United States builds interceptors in an entire year. Every interceptor fired in the Gulf is one that cannot be delivered to Switzerland, Ukraine, Taiwan, Japan, or Poland. The State Department warned allies on March 27 that Patriot deliveries to Ukraine would face disruptions as the Pentagon prioritises Iran per Quiver Quantitative. Senator Chris Murphy said on record: “We’ve been told again and again one reason we can’t provide interceptors for the Patriot system for Ukraine is that they’re in short supply.” Lockheed signed a framework to quadruple production to 2,000 units per year. That capacity will not arrive for six to seven years. The Pentagon has asked Congress to shift $1.5 billion from other programmes to accelerate procurement per Bloomberg. None of this helps now. The interceptors are depleting now. The allied accounts are being raided now. Switzerland is considering reducing its F-35 order from 36 to 30 jets and accelerating evaluation of European alternatives per Bluewin and Global Defense Corp. Swiss parliamentarians have called the redirection “an unacceptable violation of procurement sovereignty.” The Swiss parliament is preparing formal hearings. Switzerland is the canary. A neutral country with two centuries of armed neutrality just had its fighter jet money taken without consent to feed a four-week-old war that burns 18 months of interceptor production every 96 hours. Every US ally with a pending defence contract should be asking one question: whose account is next? Full analysis: open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

New study of POWs shows Russian state propaganda is directly fueling war crimes and dehumanization. 🧵 1/9 ⬇️

❓ Como acha que se pode combater a queda da taxa de natalidade? As pessoas não têm mais filhos em Portugal não porque não queiram mas pela questão económica e falta de perspetivas. O melhor programa para o aumento da taxa de natalidade é efetivamente o programa eleitoral da Iniciativa Liberal: crescimento económico, mais oportunidades para os jovens, maiores salários, melhores serviços públicos. Portugal tem de ser um país que dê confiança às pessoas, com uma economia mais dinâmica, salários mais altos, impostos mais baixos sobre o trabalho e políticas que facilitem a conciliação entre vida familiar e profissional. Quando um país volta a oferecer oportunidades, as famílias também voltam a ter condições para crescer e o país ganha futuro.

@DarthPutinKGB Yes, they have to negotiations table, putin has so much russian blood in his hands. And no nato integration too, that's threatening to Ukraine's security.

Ukraine will keep hitting Russian oil refineries. Russia is unable to stop this. For the sake of peace Russia should cede territory, commit to de-armament & be neutral. Noam Chomsky

Noelia Castillo Ramos was euthanised yesterday at around 6 p.m. local time at Hospital Residencia Sant Camil near Barcelona. In 2022, Noelia was placed in a state institution amid family difficulties. There, she was gang-raped by a group of North African migrants. The trauma broke Noelia. Months later, she attempted suicide by jumping from the fifth floor of a building. She survived the fall but was left paralysed. Instead of offering long-term support, the Spanish authorities offered assisted suicide as a solution. Yesterday, despite a large group of people showing up at the hospital to support her, Noelia sadly decided to end her life. Her rapists were never arrested and remain free men today. RIP Noelia. We will not forget you. 💔

When I became a citizen of the United States in 2014, on the basis of political asylum from the Gaza Strip and escaping Jihadi Islamism, I sincerely and seriously never thought that pro-Jihad, pro-Hamas, pro-terror, fascist, pro-Iran, pro-Hezbollah, anti-civilizational dark forces would become a mainstream staple in American politics and discourse. Having a group of ignorant domestic terrorists with Hamas and Palestinian flags, hiding their faces and taking over public space outside the City Hall of Philadelphia, the birthplace of America, is not only a grotesque sight, but it also demonstrates so much that has gone wrong. It is a condemnation of our country's higher education institutes, which have normalized violence, anti-Western ideologies, and embarrassing “post-colonial” narratives. This is a condemnation of a failed revisionist, neo-liberal immigration approach in which assimilation is frowned upon and viewed as bad and negative, coddling people with truly horrendous beliefs, ideologies, cultures, and backgrounds, instead of seeking to uplift and elevate them and their status. This is a condemnation of failed parenting, nonexistent community infrastructure to educate young people, failed leftist discourses, and moral bankruptcy. Remember that this has nothing to do with Palestine, for these “activists” ruined the “pro-Palestine” cause and are now seeking to latch on to any and every remaining filth that can vector their anti-human, anti-America, anti-Western, and anti-decent discourse and value system that can produce anything of meaning. Burning the American flag, while exercising your right to free speech, is the ultimate irony that only the United States of America affords to literal domestic terrorists, who are engaged in a subversive act against the very country and patriotic values that they seek to “dismantle.” Still, freedom of choice does not equal freedom from consequences. This cannot be normalized, as it unfortunately has been over the past two and a half years since Hamas’s October 7th attack. This is a domestic battle for our country’s values and future – it’s time to choose the direction you want this country to head in.

@afalkhatib Disgusting

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

@Anarasom Sexta feira 😊

Bom dia! 🥰 Vamos a mais um dia de trabalho 💪

I won't share it, but a video is circulating of Russian troops executing an injured Ukrainian soldier. May he rest in everlasting peace. A hero that died for his people and his homeland. I fought both Russia and ISIS for years. There's not much difference between them. Russia is a terrorist state, good for little more than inflicting misery and war crimes. Only the most revolting creatures of no moral or human decency can ever support Russia.

It is “russia,” not “Russia.” The terrorist state that commits genocide, bombs civilians, kidnaps children, and seeks to erase everything Ukrainian does not deserve the dignity of a capital letter. Other option include: ruzzia, russian terrorist state, terrorists

@rshereme I avoid the capital letter for despise

Russian Soldiers Torture And Execute Baltic Volunteer Baltic Volunteer Tortured and Executed by Russian Troops Video depicts Russian soldiers torturing a captured Baltic fighter before executing him. This adds to documented cases of POW mistreatment and summary executions.

Russia executed a Ukrainian soldier and filmed it for social media. I won’t show the full video, it’s too graphic. This isn’t war, It’s murder, and it reflects exactly what Russia 🇷🇺 has become. #RussiaIsATerroristState

🕯️ #OTD , we remember victims of the illegal Soviet occupation and its atrocities. Just in one night more than 42,000 innocent Latvians were put on cattle trains and sent to Siberia to die, perish, suffer. We will never forget. #NeverForget

A man in occupied Ukraine woke up every night at 3 or 4 a.m., got dressed, and waited. Russian forces had already come for him several times. Researcher Serhii Danylov has spent years collecting testimonies like this from Ukrainians who lived through occupation in Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts. The pattern he documented is deliberate and systematic: mass detentions of every man between 16 and 60, real and fabricated informant networks to atomize communities, children recruited as spies with cigarettes and moped fuel, teachers beaten for refusing to work. "It's like living in a prison, except there are no walls," one respondent told his team. The plan copied from Crimea was supposed to take nine months. It took three and a half years — and still required bringing people from Russia because local collaboration was never enough. 🔗 euromaidanpress.com/2026/03/24/chi…
