@clashreport cracks are in his heads at this point...

Netanyahu on Iran: We are seeing cracks.

That's just great. What weapon did they use? The experts said they were out of missiles 10 days ago and the US has an infinite ammunition cheat code.

noice...

This is the same guy who looked into the cameras 11 days ago and growled that the United States has infinite ammunition and any claims of limitations is fake news. LITERALLY. This is feeling like "3 day special military operation" and we haven't put boots on the ground.

“India wants to "dramatically" deepen its partnership with the European Union, including by striking defence deals.” By @NicholasVinocur ‼️These shifts should not go unnoticed. It is not about choosing between the US and China; it is about choosing partners that increase your own resilience.

Every single time these putrid reptiles are in difficulty, about anything, they point out and blame Ukraine. en français on dit : "quelle bande de déchets humains". voilà

Trump is, again, lying about shortages of ammunition for the war against Iran due to some imaginary supplies to Ukraine. Here are some facts: The kinds of weapons we are using to strike Iran were NEVER sent to Ukraine: PrSM (entered service in 2024), LUCAS drones (brand new), Tomahawks (Trump talked about sending some, never did), and of course B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, F-22 Raptors, and F-35s -- obviously none were ever transferred to Ukraine. The only weapons one might plausibly refer to would be ATACMS: the entire stock we deigned to send Ukraine was about 50 rounds (we had used 800 in the opening days of the Iraq invasion). The US used over 20 weapons systems to hit over 1,000 targets simultaneously during the opening hours of Operation Epic Fury. An estimated 300 Tomahawks were used and the Pentagon ordered... 57 new ones in the current fiscal year. There have been no deliveries of THAAD interceptors since 2023 and no new orders were placed this year. The military will get 39 in 2027, six years after ordering them. If we are running short on ammunition, it's because the people ordering this war did not plan adequately for contingencies and spent like drunken sailors, not because of our (really nonexistent for the past year) aid to Ukraine. Our big problem is that right now, we are still using extremely expensive systems like Patriots ($3-4 million per missile) and NASAMS/AMRAAM interceptors ($0.8-1.2 million per missile) to combat mass-produced $20,000 Shahed drones. This asymmetric exchange ratio between offense and defense is what kept analysts at night during the Cold War and why eventually defense systems would be scrapped for being too easily overwhelmed by numbers despite being technologically superior. Ukraine has been fighting and innovating precisely to deal with the asymmetric offense capabilities of Russia for years, and they have learned how to do it. But when they offered to help us last year, the Trump administration arrogantly brushed them aside. Now we are squandering premier weapons designed to stop ballistic missiles on cheap drones. And we can't keep doing it no matter how wealthy we are. Missiles take months, sometimes years, to make, while drones can be mass produced in weeks. You lose wars not when the offense peaks --- as the current bombing afficionados at the White House have you believe with their nonstop meming about raining destruction on Iran -- but when your defense capacity is stretched to its limits and cannot cope with things that keep coming at it.

Iconic moments in Trump diplomacy You think he won’t really go there but then he does

One of our F-35 fighter jets was hit earlier today.

Today Russians attacked near Lyman. With the help of drones, Ukrainian infantry brigades destroyed 2 tanks, 5 APCs (BTR-82AT and BTR-70M), 5 BMP-3, 2 BMP-2, and more than 40 ATVs(!). A decent number of IFVs were stopped with the help of remotely placed mines. Massacre. We knew that they were planning to attack. Everyone was prepared. Two days ago, at Porkovsk direction, the 6th tank regiment attacked and lost 3 BMP-2, 1 tank, and approximately 10 ATVs. A lot of other equipment and personnel were lost near other villages at Pokrovsk direction. Spring exacerbation?

@flocornillet yes !-)

@HeliosRunner The art of the deal

Oh look.... All this money directly going in the people's pocket to help them buy cheap eggs....

The @BulwarkOnline allowed me to channel my inner Herodotus in my piece today.

just watch her face. lot of People in Japan are certainly quite mad right now lmao what a fcking moron.

@polidemitolog nah i don't think so. right now we are already working on going to secure bab el mandeb or only once US has fully secure it in the first place. and it's not "in the tube" right now

European leaders are considering offering Trump a deal in which Europe provides military support to secure the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for stronger US help to Ukraine in reaching an acceptable peace agreement with Russia, Politico reported. Finnish President Alexander Stubb voiced the idea, noting that the war in Iran is diverting US resources and attention from Ukraine, driving up oil prices and weakening sanctions on Russian energy, which could strengthen Moscow financially. Stubb said he has no illusions about convincing Trump but hopes to get at least one idea across.
