Hi! Missile Defense System expert here. There are two US missile defense systems in Romania and Poland coupled with an advanced radar system in Turkey. Additionally, there are forward based US destroyers in Spain. This is all meant to support the defense of Europe from a rogue nation ballistic missile attack. It’s also called Operation Atlantic Sentry. It is a U.S. European Command (USEUCOM) with a NATO mission primarily focused on Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD). Its specific role involves the operation and integration of advanced radar and interceptor systems to protect the alliance from ballistic missile threats. Hope this helps @piersmorgan

So not only has Iran brazenly lied about its ballistic missile range capacity, but this means it can probably hit the UK with them - and we have zero, I repeat ZERO, defence against these missiles. Very worrying.

BREAKING: After Trump threatened to target Iranian power plants in 48 hours if they don’t reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Iran says it will target energy infrastructure and desalination plants if the US strikes Iranian power plants. Oil, gas and energy are about to go through the roof and the stock market is about to plunge on Monday.

Some of you still seem to think oil is only used for gasoline for light duty vehicles, because that’s the only time you’ve physically encountered it. Expensive and scarce oil is an omnicrisis for the global economy. It cannot be replaced by electrons from solar panels.

The world energy shock is coming — it will deepen inequality in ways we've seen before. Our new @newstatesman piece argues that without urgent government action, the Strait of Hormuz crisis will ripple through our economies and rip apart our societies. Here's why. 1/

“The countries that prevail will not be those with the finest platforms. They will be those that can combine small numbers of exquisite weaponry with vast numbers of cheap drones. Human judgment will give way to algorithms. That is the future of war.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…

Pokud Spojené státy opustí NATO a tedy obranu Evropy, protože ji budou odmítat dotovat, Česká republika bude ukázkovým důvodem. Se současnou americkou vládou můžeme hodně nesouhlasit, ale stále její ozbrojené síly a zpravodajský aparát stále drží obranu Evropy a odstrašení Ruska. Pokud i díky českému sobectví odejdou z Evropy, tak náklady na nahrazení amerických sil a schopností jsou okolo deseti procent HDP, říká generální tajemník NATO. A bude to pozvánka pro ruský strategický útok, protože se vyzbrojit nestihneme. Dneska jsme na 1.8 % HDP. Vezeme se jako černý pasažér Aliance a český premiér nahlas říká našim spojencům, že na obranu Evropy kašleme, naše spojenecké závazky plnit nebudeme a je nám to prostě jedno. Pokud jste spojencem České republiky, tak její vládě bohužel dneska nemáte důvod věřit. Jako stát přicházíme o desítky let budovanou důvěryhodnost, kterou bude dlouho trvat získat zpět. Až tahle vláda srabů a kolaborantů skončí.

Edward@EdN618

@DKThomp You completely ignore the enormous economic benefits of having American military installations, not to mention the security they provide, being on China's doorstep. And people take this analysis seriously?? Ah yes, anything anti-trump is hot!

WORLD AT WAR
WORLD AT WAR@World_At_War_6·
🇺🇸🛑U.S. Gears Up for Ground Invasion of Iran: The U.S. is accelerating the deployment of approximately 8,000 additional Marines and sailors to the Middle East. In a show of rapid deployment, the USS Boxer Amphibious Ready Group is arriving ahead of schedule with roughly 4,000 Marines and sailors. They will link up with the USS Tripoli group, already traveling from Japan with 5,000 personnel. The combined force of six amphibious ships will increase regional force strength by approximately 8,000 personnel. There's no point deploying Marines to the region unless the U.S. intends to launch a full-scale ground invasion of Iran. Their probable objective is to secure the Strait of Hormuz and seize control of Kharg Island. The conflict is poised to escalate sharply in the coming weeks.
