@Alex_Oloyede2 I see, why the huge disparity in numbers ? Russian casualties are on the Russian side ?

@cryptosmith_ray Russia advances, yes that affects the numbers but we aren't advancing in a Blitz. The KIA ratio would be around 1 Russian for every 8-10 Ukrainians.

@KevinPa18544089 @theafroaussie It was the US testing nukes and unconventional weaponry, they do it regularly without informing the public

@theafroaussie Here I am in Western Australia and not much news . Neighbouring New Zealand tends to get more than its fair share of quakes.Its along with some of the Pacific Islands to be on the same fault line as California. Most Pacific Islands are a result of volcanic activity.

@Sheldone @noplaceforsheep @AJEnglish I know Al Jazeera well, notice next time you’re watching how they let American critics of Iran spout propaganda with no pushback
English
@cryptosmith_ray @noplaceforsheep If that’s being pro-US I’d hate to read what they say about their enemies!
Srsly, check them out.

@Sheldone @noplaceforsheep Al Jazeera is staunchly anti-Iran and has a pro-US lens to their reporting, be careful

@noplaceforsheep Al Jazeera is a decent news org about this too.

@Xulficus @Pataramesh @user10081994 That might be true, but diplomatic relations, and especially post-war negotiations don’t rely on he-said, she-said tit for rats, its a formal opportunity to discuss and negotiate an outcome. This ceasefire also gives Iran time to ready its forces
English
@Pataramesh @user10081994 They didn't. They literally said they threw them in the garbage.
English
So what is actually happening with the ceasefire?
- Pakistan, assisted by Turkey brokered a ceasefire
- Iran aware of the Pakistani Defense-Pact with Saudi and how unpopular for the Pakistani people it would be to side with 🇮🇱-🇺🇸
➡️ promised to not break it by going kinetic
- Israel exploited its leverage on Trump for face-saving action against Lebanon
- Iran went for a 'soft-kill' by keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed, with time ticking for world economy
Neighbourly relations means that Iran has to play chess here instead using the hammer
➡️ The brotherhood with Hezbollah certainly means that Iran would go full counter-value against 🇮🇱 if Hezbollah requested it.
But I'm sure Hezbollah being chess players themselves knows exactly what it is doing, fully aware of the Strait of Hormuz time/market dynamics
➡️ The bare minimum for AoR folks is to realize that Iran is risking re-engaging with a superpower for Lebanon.
Amazing some don't even realize that...

@andy_cov93 Oil futures isn’t the physical price of oil… yes they are price gouging, but theres still no oil in the system. 10-15 boats per day ( if we’re lucky), compared to ~120. It will still get worse over the next 2-4 weeks
English
For every $5 a barrel that oil went up, petrol went up what 3p a litre INSTANTLY on every single forecourt.
Oil price went - down - SIXTEEN PERCENT in the last 24 hours.
Did you see a single petrol station lower their price today? Did you fuck.
Money grabbing bastards

@cryptosmith_ray @Gizzmo4141 as if there's anything to get out of the strait.
English
Keep in mind even if everything were to go back to normal,
Which it wont, Millions of litres of production have been effected,
Prices will continue to rise as scarcity still increases for the next few weeks.
Takes time to transport fuel, especially to Australia.

@HormuzLetter The US is loading up on supplies and hanging around ? Doesn’t this signal re-arming ? Or is it just me ?
English
BREAKING: Trump on Truth Social says the US will "help with the traffic buildup" in the Strait of Hormuz, with "lots of positive action" and "big money" to be made. Iran can begin reconstruction.
Trump adds the US will be "loading up with supplies" and "hangin' around" in the Strait to ensure the new transit system works. He calls the deal a potential "Golden Age of the Middle East."
English
@tournadey @ripplebrain I agree, any renewed attack would be with far less forward based defence architecture, and less ability to defend the gulf states ( maybe US doesn’t care). It’s too early to tell but if Iran can secure most of the 10 points then it’s a big win
English
@cryptosmith_ray @ripplebrain You won't manufacture new radars in 2 weeks. The stockpile of interceptors is not that important when you don't have the radars.
Even if they put new ones from other regions (dangerous), why would their fate be any different?
Most people can't conprehend the defeat is real.
English
One minor point here I haven't seen anyone else raise: I'm not sure that a short ceasefire before a resumption of hostilities is to Iran's disadvantage. The US/Israeli side made the opening move, and did so at time of their choosing. The Iranians will have plenty of recovering and regeneration to do, from digging out missile bases to moving assets around without the threat of air attack. More air defense interceptors aren't going to magically materialize in Israel within two weeks, either.
Another angle is the economic one. Further supply shocks are inevitable and will happen even if the war ends entirely today. Dragging out the conflict by another two weeks will allow some of them to land while costing the Iranians nothing. Markets are likely to react very negatively to the collapse of the ceasefire too.
Amerikanets 📉@ripplebrain
Here's what the Iranian side is saying Trump has accepted in principle: • Security guarantees against future attacks on Iran • Iranian military control over the Strait of Hormuz • Lifting of all sanctions • Ending all Security Council resolutions against Iran • Acceptance of Iranian uranium enrichment • A withdrawal of all US forces from the region • A total discontinuation of attacks against both Iran and Lebanon • "Full compensation" to Iran for the costs of the war • The release of all frozen Iranian financial assets abroad • The codification of all of the above in a UN Security Council resolution They say these conditions must be ratified in negotiations in Islamabad "with complete distrust of the American side" starting Friday, with a two-week deadline to conclude the negotiations, and that the war will only end when all the conditions are met.

@AdameMedia Yes $100 billion a year- I saw an analysis saying that the will forgive the fee for poorer nations which assumes that it will reduce it to $50 billion/year. And then they will split the toll with Oman, so $25/yr a piece
English
@ripplebrain They also can’t repair their bases. But is it enough time to replenish AD in Israel ? Maybe they give up on the bases and focus on defending Israel going forward and rely on bomber runs
English
In light of this it's plausible that this is a genuine capitulation by the US/Israeli side. What could they hope to get out of a fake two week ceasefire? It's not enough time to manufacture thousands of new JASSMs. The economic picture won't improve in two weeks.

@MichaelWestBiz @noplaceforsheep @sstephanietrann Why are they getting grants anyway ? Aren’t they getting paid to make the parts for the killing machines ?

Genocide grants. They hid it. Government has given $78m in grants to Australian F-35 suppliers. Used in Israel slaughter in Gaza and probably now in illegal bombing of Iran

@JavierBlas Civilians aren’t “deployed” to civilian infrastructure, they’re simply using it

Iran is likely to deploy human shields to its bridges and power plants tonight. The use of civilians as human shields is banned under the Geneva Conventions (article 51).

@DD_Geopolitics I don't understand that app, i was checking on oil refineries from Europe too and they appear with the red squares. Seems like all refineries will appear like that or the world just went to hell? 😆
