⚡Royal Dutch Airlines (KLM) CEO Marjan Rintel:

The EU should establish financial measures to curb competition from Chinese airlines that can freely cross Russian airspace.

Western countries closed their airspace to Russian airlines as part of sanctions imposed after the outbreak of the Ukraine conflict in 2022. In response, Moscow banned aircraft from ‘unfriendly nations’, forcing EU planes to reroute, resulting in higher fuel consumption and increased costs.


“Russia’s airspace is closed to European airlines, while Chinese carriers fly over it, which can save two to four hours. You see that reflected in pricing, and consequently, our costs are higher,” Rintel said in an interview with Dutch broadcaster WNL on Sunday.

Rintel suggested that Brussels should intervene to address this competitive imbalance. “Europe can at least explore how we can level the playing field by adjusting pricing or examining other alternatives,” she stated.

In response to rising costs, KLM plans austerity measures aimed at saving €450 million ($494 million) annually, including €100 million by “adjusting” in-flight catering, Rintel said.

“In the Netherlands, we are facing a tight labor market and rising wage costs, which differs from the situation in France,” she added, referring to KLM’s parent company, Air France-KLM. “Due to a shortage of pilots and technicians, roster changes will occur, and maintenance may need to be outsourced,” she explained.

⚡Joe Biden pushed the UK into giving up the Chagos Islands over concerns the US would lose control of an important air base, The Telegraph understands.

Days after the general election in July, senior officials from the White House’s National Security Council and State Department told the incoming Labour government that refusing to sign away the islands would jeopardise the “special relationship” with Washington.

Keir Starmer was criticised last week for his decision to give up the archipelago of more than 1,000 tiny islands, a UK overseas territory since 1965 known officially as the British Indian Ocean Territory.

It was suggested the deal could give China access to the Diego Garcia air base, which is on the largest island in the chain.

Under the deal, Mauritius will take control of the islands, but Britain and the US will rent the base for 99 years.

Sorry this shouldn't be posted here but I'll will need all the prayers I can get. I have gotten a relapse of an illness I suffered not long ago. So very soon I might not be contributing on this thread for a long time. It pains me that I won't be able to read propaganda and some funny takes from some funny people here.

So please your prayers will do a lot.

Thank you all and God bless you all .


I don't have prayers to waste on you, my prayers are for children and women been killed everyday in Palestine. Your sickness is not worst than them
I don't even think any prayers will work for you. Don't get me wrong I don't hate you, but if you cannot pray for Palestinians been massacred daily, why would anyone pray for you.

IDF: Terror targets dismantled and terrorists eliminated; The IDF continues its operational activity in southern Lebanon and in the Gaza Strip

The IDF continues its operational activity in southern Lebanon. Over the past day, soldiers dismantled launch pads that posed a threat to communities in northern Israel, eliminated terrorists during close-quarter encounters and in aerial strikes, located and confiscated numerous weapons including anti-tank missiles. In addition, over 100 Hezbollah terror targets were destroyed.

Simultaneously, IDF troops continue their operational activity throughout the Gaza Strip. Troops eliminated dozens of terrorists in close-quarter encounters and in aerial strikes, located weapons, including grenades, AK-47 rifles, and more, and dismantled numerous terrorist infrastructure sites and rocket launchers, that were ready to fire toward Israeli territory.

Over the past day, the IAF struck approximately 185 Hezbollah terror targets in Lebanon and approximately 45 Hamas terror targets in the Gaza Strip, including terrorist cells, infrastructure sites, military structures, observation posts, launchers, and weapons storage facilities.

The IDF is prepared for every defensive and offensive scenario, on all fronts.

IDF: Drone Footage: Hezbollah Terrorist Commander and Cells Eliminated

Since the beginning of the limited, localized, targeted raids based on precise intelligence in Lebanon, troops from the 36th's Division Unit 636 that specialize in drones strikes have eliminated several Hezbollah terrorist cells and destroyed terrorist infrastructure.

The unit's activities have included guiding drones to eliminate armed Hezbollah terrorists, in coordination with the brigade’s fire control centers.

Attached is drone footage of the elimination of a company commander in the Hezbollah terrorist organization by the Golani Brigade’s Fire Control Center: https:///3U08l8N

Attached is drone footage of the elimination of three armed terrorists by the 282nd Brigade’s Fire Control Center: https:///3Y677dw

Attached are photos of the soldiers of Unit 636 directing the drones that eliminated the terrorists in southern Lebanon: https://IDFANC.activetrail.biz/ANC453984

Did you bother to verify whatever it is you wrote here or you just copied and pasted propaganda as usual?

Did you even bother to click or check the link?
Where is the drone footage?

The only so-called drone footage that was released today of the so-called unit 636 shows the drone trailing "a single Hezbollah operative" not a commander or cells as you claimed. Even in that footage, there is no definite drone hit on anyone because the operative managed to disappear into the thick woods twice and the drone strikes were "blind strikes" as the drone operator cannot see anything in those woods.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-releases-footage-of-drone-strikes-on-hezbollah-operatives-in-south-lebanon/

So I'm asking, where is your footage that killed an Hezbollah commander?

Do you know what it means for an area to be labeled as contested and not secured?

Do you think killing "two soldiers a day" like you say will ensure that reality?

Read it from me, NO part of Gaza is under full idf control...infact, Israel cannot guarantee securing ANY part of Gaza

Some of you think it's by 'chosen ones'

hagari and gallant have told you defeating Hamas is impossible,instead you choose to believe the stupid politicians like netanyahu, ben gvir and smotrich...keep fooling yourself

⚡The European Union must “unite the whole continent, all of Europe’s democratic nations including your countries”, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Wednesday at a summit in Dubrovnik with Balkans leaders.

“Even though there is much political tension we must ensure that our unity in Europe remains as stable as possible,” said Zelensky, speaking in English.

“If Europe is not united today it won’t be peaceful, so that integration processes that have begun must reach their result.”

Heads of state, premiers and foreign ministers from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey joined Zelensky and Croatia’s Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic at the talks.

EU airline bosses want Chinese to pay for flying over Russia. It is an unfair advantage.

Western countries closed their airspace to Russian airlines as part of sanctions. In response, Moscow banned aircraft from ‘unfriendly nations’, forcing EU planes to reroute, resulting in higher fuel consumption and increased costs.

EU airlines are dropping their Far East routes and Finnair is completely buggered as it has positioned itself into a corner on the world map.

Air France and British airways already called EU to sanctions Gulf nations and Chinese airlines using Russia airspace

Why are they always quick to sanction others when they don't have advantage over them.

This is a fair point. I think I may have been too soft yesterday. After going through some of the heartless comments he'd previously made against innocent people, I cannot have any positive wishes for such a person even though I have nothing personal against him.

Sometimes I wish to see Hezbollah and Iran target civilians as much as Israel does but it only takes me a few hours to calm down, come back to my senses, and realize I'm wrong. Just as innocent Palestinians do not deserve to die, Israelis (except settlers) also deserve to live without fear but people like him celebrate and defend unimaginable atrocities daily without the slightest form of regret or guilt. They have zero compassion and therefore they deserve none.

All the errors they'll make when they enter Taiwan could have been corrected in the Ukraine war theater. They had 2 years to do that, they still can. it's not too late.

Of what good are weapons, if you don't get to test them in a high intensity battlefield?

That is why I am angry with china's approach to the Russia/Ukraine war.
