> 80.1% of Indonesians say they'd rather align with Chyna if forced to choose
> who do you sign a defense partnership with? USA ofc
such is the reality of these things I guess.
Target areas look pretty blockade-relevant

JUST IN - U.S. announces a defense partnership with Indonesia.

It's time pro Russia people be honest about the SMO and self criticize.
It was as incompetent and unplanned as Trump's stupid war on Iran.
The Kiev offensive (and subsequent retreat) wasn't a "diversion" but an objective military failure and a failure to meet objectives. As was the retreats from Kharkov and abandonment of Kherson later in 2022.
~100K troops is an extreme underestimation of force needed to fight Ukraine, a relatively near peer military to Russia's. And Russia itself stated it retreated because it didn't have enough forces to hold lines for example at Kharkov 2022.
And the decade long American intention to turn Ukraine into a future quagmire for Russia worked hook, line, and sinker. Russia has lost immense amounts of global influence and allies for a war where they likely won't even gain Odessa or Kharkov, and has gone on for far longer than it should have. This war has exceeded Russia's participation in WW1, Russia's participation in WW2, and if it really goes on "until 2030" like some people claim it might, then it will possibly also catch up to the Soviet War in Afghanistan.
Lastly there isn't even any clear objectives for Russia. The handling of this war has ensured animosity between Russia and Ukraine for decades to come. It firmly delivered Ukraine into the hands of Azov far more openly now than before and has entrenched them. And because it likely won't even reach the Dniper, it won't "demilitarize" Ukraine either. So the intitial casus belli of "Denazification and Demilitarization" are completely out of the picture. Protecting Donbass? This war has way too many fronts, way too much investment, and so on to just be about Donbass - and Putin didn't do anything about Donbass for nearly a decade between 2014 and 2022.
I am being more objective here. Many actual Russian pro-Russians in Russian language telegram channels are far more "blackpilled", saying that Russia is gonna straight up lose the war and Ukraine will eventually win (which is ultra blackpilled nonsense that's also common on the Ukrainian side also, saying that Ukraine is about to collapse - an unlikely but more likely outcome than the other blackpill)
This war, the Maidan crew, the atrocities in Donbass, the formation of Azovism, etc could've all been prevented or stopped in its infancy - at far lower cost - in 2013/2014 with Russian intelligence and soft power contesting the West's before/during Maidan.

DESTROYER ABUKUMA UNTUK INDONESIA? 😋
Kabarnya, Pemerintah Jepang juga memiliki rencana untuk mengekspor kapal Destroyer Escort kelas Abukuma mereka selain ke Filipina, juga ke Indonesia. Isu ini bahkan sudah dibahas dalam rapat tingkat Menteri di Jepang pada Januari 2026 kemarin. Saat ini ada enam unit kapal destroyer escort kelas Abukuma yang masih aktif dan akan memasuki masa pensiun/non-aktif karena mulai digantikan oleh frigat kelas Mogami.
Selama kunjungan Menteri Pertahanan Indonesia Sjafrie Sjamsoeddin bersama Menhan Koizumi ke kapal frigate kelas Mogami dan kapal selam kelas Taigei selama 50 menit di Yokosuka Naval Base. Disana, dikatakan pihak Indonesia banyak melakukan diskusi dan melontar pertanyaan kepada pihak "Jepang" dan Menhan Sjafrie menunjukkan minat yang "kuat".
Selain Indonesia, ada Filipina yang sudah jelas tertarik dengan kapal kelas Abukuma tersebut. Menurut Kepala Staff AL Filipina, Jose Maria Ambrosio Ezpeleta, kalau mereka tertarik untuk mengakuisisi 3 unit dari 6 kapal kelas Abukuma. Dengan catatan bahwa Jepang mungkin tidak menawarkan keenam kapal tersebut kepada Filipina dan mungkin menawarkan sisanya kepada negara-negara Asia Tenggara lainnya.
Pada periode Golden Week 2026 yang berlangsung pada 29 April hingga 5-6 Mei mendatang, Menteri Pertahanan Jepang yaitu Shinjiro Koizumi dikatakan akan mengunjungi Filipina dan Indonesia dengan tujuan mempromosikan hingga menawarkan produk alutsista mereka ke kedua negara tersebut. Pada April 2026 ini, Pemerintah Jepang berniat untuk menghapus peraturan "5 Kategori" dari Tiga Prinsip dasar terkait ekspor alat pertahanan Jepang keluar negeri. Jika lancar, Jepang akan lebih mudah mengekspor alutsista berkemampuan "mematikan" keluar negeri.
Diluar itu, Indonesia juga mengatakan tertarik dengan kapal selam bekas JMSDF Jepang, meski belum jelas apa jenis kapalnya.

After five weeks of war in the Middle East, it is clear that only a diplomatic solution will settle its root causes.
Any targeting of civilian infrastructure, namely energy facilities, is illegal and unacceptable. This applies to Russia’s war in Ukraine and it applies everywhere. The Iranian civilian population is the main victim of the Iranian regime. It would also be the main victim of a widening of the military campaign.
As I stressed in my recent call with the President of Iran, @DrPezeshkian, the European Union urges Iran to immediately put an end to its attacks against countries in the region and to allow for the reestablishment of full freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
Escalation will not achieve a ceasefire and peace. Only negotiations will, namely the ongoing efforts led by regional partners.

IRAN REFUSING TO ACCEPT TRUMP'S CEASEFIRE PROPOSAL REMINDS ME OF WHY I HATE THE REGIME SO MUCH
IF THEY DON'T ACCEPT A DEAL SOON, THEY WILL DESTROY THEIR OWN COUNTRY

TRUMP MADE A MISTAKE STARTING THIS WAR, AND IRAN IS MAKING A MISTAKE NOT ACCEPTING TO END THIS WAR

We’re seeing this in real time

Nima Shirazi@WideAsleepNima
The New York Times is now describing Iran's very normal acts of self-defense - shooting down American jets that are BOMBING THEIR FUCKING COUNTRY - as an "escalation from Iran's leadership." Completely unhinged to publish stuff like this.

@DSPetolicchio So it could become a backward country like your own country?🤡

Israel must immediately repeal the discriminatory death penalty law passed today by the Knesset, as it contravenes Israel’s obligations under international law.
The United Nations opposes the death penalty under all circumstances. The implementation of this new law would violate international law's prohibition of cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment.
Additionally, this law further entrenches Israel’s violation of the prohibition of racial segregation and apartheid as it will exclusively apply to Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Israel, who are often convicted after unfair trials.
