@FinPlanKaluAja1 Zelenskyy the grifter, lol. He's probably devising plans to rip the Emiratis of some billions.

Zelensky has arrived in the UAE with an intriguing proposal. “I will supply you with drone interceptors in exchange for the patriot missiles.” It makes sense; Iran is launching both drones and ballistic missiles, but primarily more drones. Russia is launching a higher number of missiles at Ukraine. So, a strategic swap (I doubt anyone will give up patriot missile interceptors at the moment). The news here indicates a clear realignment and could be concerning for Russia. If Ukraine is publicly welcomed with this high-profile visit to the UAE, which is very close to Russia and a BRICS member, it suggests where the UAE's strategic interests now lie.

@FinPlanKaluAja1 Which military? This is a 12m people country with an army of mercenaries from other Muslim countries like Pakistan. If there's an all out war in the region, many of these guys would be fleeing to their home countries.

The surprise of this war to me has been the UAE I had perceived them as “soft”, but those guys are as hard as diamonds they retail in their malls Not just their military, but the resilience of their economy in operating under extreme heavy fire Iran has fired more missiles at the UAE than Israel. The UAE is the most heavily targeted country in the conflict, yet the Dubai International Airport is still open, and oil is still being exported. The UAE raised oil exports through the Fujairah port to 1.9 million barrels per day (a 57% increase). The magic word is resilience, but you can't have resilience without redundancies That's a lesson for all policymakers

@Alex_Oloyede2 Do NATO countries still think they will conventionally wipe the floor with the Russian army in days?

It seems the American military hasn't learnt anything from the Ukrainian conflict.

@MedvedevRussiaE Lab rat😂😂😂

The lab rat Kallas, her face unmarked by intellect, put her foot in it again, saying Russia is “demanding something that’s never been theirs.” Donbass! Which was Russia’s and no one else’s. It's a pity to be so dumb at 50. In fact, Estonia (the horror!) was also part of Russia😂

@justelvis11 @FinPlanKaluAja1 But there's actually a problem with that line of thought because the US has actually suffered defeat in many wars since the end of ww2. The way the cold war ended with the USSR's dissolution made people of this new generation think the US unipolar order can't be challenged.

@Codedtr_ @FinPlanKaluAja1 They don't like hearing that the American military can suffer a defeat, it goes against their existential beliefs. For them, any war the US engages in is justified and the other side must be the enemy. When actually, earth only needs a breather from US aggression and cohesion 🤦🏿‍♂️

The US has underwater drones hunting mines in the Strait of Hormuz, has uncrewed surfacre ships on the water and drones in the air. The US has developed the ability to project war without risking its soldiers The US troops killed have been in theatre, but not in direct kinetic action in Kuwait and Iraq American military power has been restrained because the American public does not like US soldiers returning from a distant war in body bags Imagine what future presidents will do knowing that they can project Air, Sea, Land and below the surface military assets without the loss of life As I have said earlier, there is no way the US ends this without the Strait being open for commerce x.com/MarioNawfal/st…

@BenTenacity @sammyscottt @FinPlanKaluAja1 I have no doubt the Taiwanese might dig in and fight a long war with China since they've been preparing for decades. Their problem is isolation. It's basically an island cut off from the rest of the world and closest to mainland China.

@Codedtr_ @sammyscottt @FinPlanKaluAja1 True. Now imagine what would happen to them if China takes Taiwan. Their economy, tech and AI sector will completely collapse. This war would embolden China. They have far more military capacity than Iran

@FinPlanKaluAja1 😂😂taliban for taliban

Keep supporting your Afghanistan

@BenTenacity @sammyscottt @FinPlanKaluAja1 We're already seeing implications of this. Trump started a trade war with China. Everyone could see he lost and backed down because China, through refined rare elements can cripple the US military industrial complex. If that happens, how does the US maintain its global posture.

@Codedtr_ @sammyscottt @FinPlanKaluAja1 Indeed. These ones aren't even smart enough to understand what you're saying. Lol! They have 4 times more granted patents than the US and also submitted 4 times more patent applications than the US. How would you even begin to explain the implications to them?

@FinPlanKaluAja1 Just one month into a war, not against a peer adversary, the US Flagship vessel is out of action for long, Indopacom is being robbed of critical EWS and interceptors to replenish Centcom. The US force postures around the world is being weakened to sustain one regional conflict.

@Codedtr_ Rather the Cruz is your comprehension US military power today is unmatched, the problem is the pubic aversion to body bags You jumped in with China What is US sells those systems to Taiwan?

@FinPlanKaluAja1 No, the problem is your wilfull deflection and digression. The US military power is not "unmatched". Most of its high-end equipments depends on supply chains linked back to China. In a peer-peer war of attrition, the US military can't sustain a fight especially far away from home

@FinPlanKaluAja1 The crux of the debate is you painting the US as an matched power which can't be caught up to because of her cultural influence and technological reputation.

@Codedtr_ If Enpires have cycles, then what's the debate for? Today is Pax America Tomorrow will be China or India

@BenTenacity @sammyscottt @FinPlanKaluAja1 Infection China files 4 times more patents for new inventions in new technologies than US and Europe combined. AI, quantum computing, Robotics etc. These talks of umatched US supremacy is a joke.

@sammyscottt @FinPlanKaluAja1 @Codedtr_ China produces approx. 4 times the STEM graduates America produces. Same thing in other fields. Those who can't compete in China go abroad.

@FinPlanKaluAja1 Empires have a cycle. The British have been where the Americans are now before. They also thought they were indispensable. China not only builds 40 times more ships than US and her allies combined. They can also build multiple times more autonomous/unmanned systems.

@Codedtr_ In the same way, it has until now Put up the American dream v the Chinese dream I have not heard of American women going to China to give birth and become Chinese anchor citizens

@FinPlanKaluAja1 Is this the same cope as, "drones have destroyed Russian oil refineries, people are lining up for petrol because of shortage". This won't distract us from Trump's fool's errands in the Gulf.

Russia is in a quagmire in Ukraine Can't advance in the front because of the drones wall used by the Ukraine. Its oil export economy is being pummelled in its rear by drones Ukraine has turned into a porcupine, the Python can't swallow

@FinPlanKaluAja1 Might be wrong. The video is probably from Ukraine under Russian shahed drone attack. Ukrainians have their own long-range drone models. They wouldn't have to copy the Shaheds.

Ukraine is now using Shahed-type drones against the Russians This life is a cycle

@FinPlanKaluAja1 @grok geolocate this area

SMIC, China's largest chipmaker, has sent chipmaking tools to Iran's military, two senior Trump administration officials said on Thursday, raising questions about Beijing's stance in the month-old U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran. reuters.com/world/asia-pac…

AirGas Declares Force Majeure On Helium Shipments As Qatar Production Collapses zerohedge.com/markets/airgas…

Ben Shapiro—after telling his audience for months that bombing Iran wouldn't lead to a wider war, and then claiming the war was just going to be a quick bombing campaign—is now telling Americans to prepare for a long war. "There is no way to extricate ourselves from this situation right now." Americans only got "tired" of Vietnam after 50,000 troops died, he says. "Our" military members are "heroes" because they're willing to "sacrifice" their lives "for a greater good"—a future world where "energy will become cheap again because the Strait of Hormuz will be free again."
