@RippleXrpie This is contested ‘Security Analysis’ Territory… the two camps are Sphere of Dominance and Sphere of Influence The term used ‘Own Back Yard’ is pivotal in emerging geopolitics

🚨IT'S OFFICIAL: The U.S confirms the new WORLD ORDER! 🇺🇸 U.S Secretary of State - Marco Rubio: “Russia, China, and Iran are not going to come from outside our hemisphere, destabilize our region in our own backyard, not under President Trump.” “THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE IS OURS!”

@thinkdefence How the hell are you going to reload under ‘ever extended’ range drone attacks Case Study: US supplied M777 Ukraine War… In Theatre/Combat Use; Reliability, Turn-Around Time for Repair Scrap Metal

Now in service with the British Army, this short video clip demonstrates the reloading process for the Archer 155 mm Self Propelled Gun

@BowesChay Agreed Russia (partnership with China) has the tactical edge in drone warfare upscaled they have the ‘emerging strategic edge’

Russia now has over 100,000 veteran specialist drone forces, and will double this number is the coming year No army on earth has the operational experience of these specialised units. They would wreak mass destruction on any enemy in hours. NATO is many years behind.

If you could name the first city on Mars, what would you name it?

@lady_valor_07 In Britain we don’t have guns but it matters not Best security is to secure your home in all situations your best defence is time If you wake to an intrusion you will likely be incapacitated by surprise and fear rarely do you have time to react cognitively it becomes instinct

It’s 2:47 AM and someone just broke into your home. Which one will you choose?

@AMercouris There is no other goal more important that will change potentially dominate geopolitics… termed the Technological Singularity Security, Military and Geopolitical Analysis will change overnight Advancement at an Accelerated Rate esp by a country with manufacturing capacity

The importance of this news is being underestimated. In my opinion it is epoch making. China is apparently telling its refiners to ignore US sanctions and to conduct their business in disregard of them. In other words it is telling them that if the US comes for them because they are violating US sanctions, they have China's back. If that expands to include other Chinese businesses, and sooner or later it surely will, the US sanctions era is over. The US remains an enormous consumer market, but China holds the high cards. It is both the 'workshop of the world' and increasingly its high tech research institute and laboratory, and it is also rapidly becoming a major source of global investment capital. Trading with the US remains profitable and attractive, but not trading with China is not an option, even for the United States. It goes beyond saying that if China opposes US sanctions they become unenforceable. It means that they become impossible, and the whole structure which has been created around them must end. Fyodor Lukyanov, who is very well connected in Moscow, is saying the Chinese are undertaking a review to assess whether the US is, as the Russians say, 'agreement incapable'. If so then this decision points to the outcome. @RnaudBertrand @AXChristoforou @TheGrayzoneNews @RealPepeEscobar @thecyrusjanssen youtube.com/watch?v=PZmepe…

@DI313_ Such attacks are likely to be a rung-up the escalation ladder Putin has ‘applied’ for what can be interpreted escalation from Special Military Operation to Ukraine Terrorist State something not helped by Trump branding Iran as a Terrorist State ♟️@Glenn_Diesen

‼️ Overnight, Ukrainian USVs hit two oil tankers waiting to load at Russia’s Novorossiysk port on the Black Sea.

@TheDuranReal Consider it: A ‘message’ to empower the Re-establishment of the German Nazi Party As per Hitler’s Order for Post War Germany intercepted by Supreme Allied Command The ideology of German population now is the same as the Nazi’s rise to power in 1933

Trump threatening to cut U.S. troops in Germany “far beyond 5,000.” Message to Europe: the American security umbrella is no longer guaranteed. You're now on your own.

@Glenn_Diesen No attempt to Win Hearts and Minds No Operation Provide Comfort An entire Country branded as a Terrorist State Refugees and affected flooding out likely from Iran, Lebanon & Israel Trump justifying what is termed ‘Humanitarian Bombs’ @TheDuranReal @DanielLDavis1

Trump will continue killing Iranians because of what Iran has done to "the World" . This is a strange combination of stupidity and barbarism

@DanielLDavis1 Larry the Shirt and Lt. Col. Wilkerson did an interview (Nima) I’m pretty sure Larry drew similarity to Trump over Hitler clutching at straws for a Wunderwaffe

Four star General say it’s “time to finish the job” on Iran… These kinds of statements both amuse and puzzle me. With all the combat power we had assembled last, February, and the massive amount of long range cruise missiles we expended, ground launched missiles, and THAAD and PAC3 interceptors expended over 40 days, and we achieved exactly 0 operational objectives in the war. And now you want to “finish the job“? How do you expect to destroy mountains that you couldn’t destroy the first go round? How do you plan to destroy the political leadership when you couldn’t destroy the first time? How do you plan to force the government to stop supporting its proxies when you couldn’t do it the first time? And above all, how do you plan on forcing open the SOH when you couldn’t do it the first time? These are not rhetorical questions, these demand very specific, military answers; answers none of these generals are providing. It is embarrassing to the professional of arms that the so-called experts can’t even paint a picture for what should be attacked, how that destruction would result in the political submission we’re looking for, or specify any rational, attainable military objective for how you “finish the job.” Just blowing up a lot of targets on the surface is meaningless. A country of this size, cannot simply be bombed out of existence. It simply is not possible with conventional munitions. Let me reiterate that: it is not possible to bomb a country of 93 million people into submission, and especially in a couple of weeks. And none of this bravado even acknowledges the likelihood that Iran will strike back with its own counterattack in devastating ways against our allies’ energy infrastructure, capacities they need for their very survival. We seem either unconcerned or oblivious to the cost our restarting the war will have on our allies – and by extension, on our own economies, and those are our other allies in Asian and Europe. It is frightening how inadequate and insufficient our senior military n political leaders are, that they don’t understand such elementary principles.

@nicholadrummond Lancet Bait It is all junk why are you trying to sell this idea of IFVs on an evolving theatre of war, these things are dead being in them is suicidal like being hit from pyroclastic flow from Vesuvius a violent destructive force those inside are vaporised in an instant

When the British Army finally obtains the cash needed to replace the Warrior IFV, BAE Systems has another product as well as CV90 - the AMPV 30. Featuring Kongsberg’s revised MCT-30 remote control turret, this is likely to have better protection than CV90 as well as more interior space. But the truth is: either AMPV-30 or CV90 would be a great result.

@elonmusk Have you seen Boris Johnson tweet he thinks it’s great Mot surprising when his father joked how wonderful it would be if a virus wiped out Europe Boris & Matt Hancock systematically wiped grandmothers and grandfathers spreading Covid 19 Stating ‘let the bodies pile up’

The trend keeps going

@AMercouris Word of the Day: lickspittle Learn English Together repeat after me ‘Hegseth takes absolute pride in being President Trump’s No1 Ar** Licker’ #WordOfToday

Arnaud Bertrand a year ago wrote a brilliant article about how behind all the bombast and the bluster the US is quietly retreating in Asia. The retreat in Europe has now also begun. It is not a question of will - the most overrated factor in politics. It is a question of resources. Quite simply US resources do not stretch far enough for the US to be strong against all its adversaries everywhere all the time. The ones who come out worse from this process are the pathetic lickspittle vassals of the US in Europe, the most absurd of whom is Germany's ludicrous Chancellor, Friedrich Merz. In Germany they increasingly get that. Outside Germany, not so much. youtube.com/watch?v=uWJYIe… @RnaudBertrand

@LukePollard ‘Delivering for defence’ … No, You are upselling BS Have you tried selling peace… it costs nothing Have you tried that?

Skyhammer is the UK’s answer to Shahed-style drone threats. This week I joined live trials in Jordan of the Skyhammer interceptor missile, following a multi-million-pound contract with veteran-led start-up Cambridge Aerospace. We're delivering for defence and British industry

@ShangguanJiewen Meanwhile in Britain… People who are BLIND can claim a 50% discount on a Television Licence

Because China is a EXTREMELY high trust society, they have installed TVs outdoors in public places. You can go relax in your neighborhood and watch movies socially. No worrying people will steal or destroy the public living space.

@Rainmaker1973 I’ll put it like this… is Earth Stationary or are ‘we’ hurtling through space at 450,000–514,000 mph?

Is the drone stationary, or is it moving at 50 km/h? [📹 Jeremy Lynch]

@MarioNawfal The deployment by 🇰🇵 thought to be just 10,000 troops was in artillery support & mine clearance in the Kursk Region of 🇷🇺 I haven’t seen any evidence of NK military putting a single foot onto ‘Ukrainian’ soil I might be wrong but where’s the drone footage? @MilitarySummary

🇰🇵🇷🇺 Kim Jong Un confirmed that his soldiers were blowing themselves up rather than getting captured in Ukraine. He straight-up called them “heroes” for choosing “self-blasting and suicide” like it’s some kind of noble act. North Korea sent 14,000 troops to help Russia and already lost over 6,000 of them. Reuters

@AXChristoforou One of the strategic uses of ‘Nuclear Weapons’ is the prevention of the formation of armies Russia has a non-first strike doctrine, however if you tell your enemy you are building an army to defeat them then you provoke preemptive strike

Merz is all in on future war with Russia. German citizens will fund the war spending to MIC with austerity and cuts in health care. Just last week Merz approved the EU €90B gift to Ukraine, for which Germany will pay the bulk of.

@NSTRIKE1231 Austerity in real-time If you degrade a population enough the people have no other choice but to sign-up… for a pay cheque …pack up your troubles in your old kit bag and smile

🇨🇵 Young people in France are “storming” military recruitment offices. So many volunteers have signed up to defend the country from Russia that there are no longer any free spots in the army, Le Figaro reports. The new service program launched in 2026 has caused a sharp surge in interest among young people (aged 18–25): the number of applications has already exceeded available places from the very first days. About 22% of the applicants are women. Video is generated by grok AI

@Glenn_Diesen ‘She’s’ definitely high on something

Future generations will curse her name for pulling Europe into an unnecessary and disastrous war against the world's largest nuclear power
