Ukraine: Russian missiles flew through the territory of a NATO member Romania. Romania: no, we didn't detect any Russian missiles on our territory. Ukraine is still desperately trying to start shit and involve NATO in their conflict. Ukraine still hasn't apologized to Poland for deliberately launching an S-300 missile into the Polish territory and killing two Polish farmers, while trying to blame it on Russia in 2022. 2 Likes |

A Ukrainian man in the Kiev region locked himself inside the car to avoid being conscripted for war, and the police emptied a gas can inside his car and set it ablaze while laughing hysterically. Ukraine is a madhouse run by criminals. 6 Likes 1 Share |

🇺🇦🇷🇺 When Ukraine has nothing to brag about at the front, they take a POW and film torture porn with him. They chase him by FPV drone without weapons, and film it. This is then posted as a big heroic win by the Ukranian army. It’s a war crime not more, a cowardly act. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Simeonjoe1: 7:20am |
Vic2023: Good last question. The isrealis with US can easily sustain an air campaign for years if they choose to, they have the money bag for it. It's also a smart thing for Yemeni possessing an anti aircraft carrier system, atleast it's threatened to the US naval projection, limiting US involvement, though US might counter this but it still come with its risk. But the main question is how long can the Houthis persist, they rely heavily on Iran, which with precise ISR can be cut off from supplies, Russia on the other hand is not keen on supporting a non state actor, Yemen is also surrounded by axis of Arab foes who has the funds and capabilities to sponsor an armed resistance against the current regime. The fall of the Houthis regime is just a matter of time, if US, Israel and Arab coalition should intensify this campaign, Yemen will be plague in another civil war, a country stricken with the worst humanitarian disaster is about to add to its doom, I feel for its people. |

shoodboi2: OK, a Houthis missles landed in a playground in Israel the other day, injuring over a dozen people including children. My own problem is that once the Jews intensifies the attacks on Yemen, there should be no cry of genocide or #pray for Yemen. That was how Hezbollah was hyped and in just 4months lost its entire leadership and had to sue for ceasefire. We will be here when Yemen would be turn to dust. 3 Likes |

Simeonjoe1: The Houthis are the new bride in town, same way hazebolla was primed and hyped and they suffered the consequences and payed a heavy price for its actions. Netanyahu is always looking for opportunities to destroy iran's proxies and the Houthis just provided him with the perfect opportunity. And knowing bibi he is going to utilise it to the fullest. With the US navy providing a comprehensive naval blockage to prevent arms from reaching Yemen via iran, the Israeli military can just keep raining bombs from the sky. While the Saudis can also sponsor and land base attack from within the government controlled part of Yemen. |

Israel will bomb the ports and electricity power plants. They already took out tug boats , the Yemenis can't ship in anything without thectig boats and their cranes to offload containers. They will be sent back to stone age. Israel don't share a border with them so why they firing missiles . Take all their import facilities. The airport control tower is gone . Take out their radar and no aircraft can land there |

23jerryking: Nobody is cool with it. No one supports anything. All we have said is that we shouldn't engage in speculations and instead, wait for preliminary investigations to conclude at the very least. Western media and their supporters, in their usual fashion, have resorted to mudslinging in order to blame Russia for this without investigations or anything. All they keep saying is that sources said this and sources said that. Worse is that the unnamed sources are from Reuters and Ukraine, which we all know are biased against Russia. |

⚡The Estonian and Lithuanian leaders asked NATO for help with maritime security after the EstLink 2 between Estonia and Finland cable was damaged. "Estonia would like to receive reinforcements from NATO in the form of a deterrence fleet," Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal said. In November, a communications cable between Lithuania and Sweden was cut in the Baltic Sea. The recent incident prompted further statements from the Lithuanian government. "Protecting maritime infrastructure must be raised both at the NATO level and bilaterally as a key priority in Baltic Sea cooperation," Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda wrote on X.

⚡China on Friday slapped sanctions on seven US companies after Washington’s approval last week of a $571.3 million military aid package to Taiwan, which Beijing said infringed on its “sovereignty and territory”. Last Friday, US President Joe Biden authorised the drawdown of up to $571.3 million for defence assistance to the self-ruled island, which China regards as its own territory. Washington’s actions “interfere in China’s internal affairs, and undermine China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity”, the Chinese foreign ministry said as it announced the sanctions. The statement also hit out at Washington’s 2025 defence budget, which includes a security cooperation initiative with Taiwan, as well as calls for strengthened defence industrial cooperation with Taipei. 1 Like |

obedience4: It's 2024. Israel should buy or borrow LHDs from the US to deploy forces in Yemen. They have paratroopers. They have a Navy. Your diaper forces are still being neutralized in Gaza Hezbollah killed and amputated more IDF forces after Nasrallah's death than before. We are past the stage of hypes. We're in "do your worst" territory. Israel spent one year bombing Lebanon and capitulated in only 3 months of a ground operation. Top of my Christmas wish list is that some clown should convince them to deploy their Navy to Yemen. The IDF is a blow-up doll. Satanyahu is Heaven's greatest gift to the Resistance. In one year, he has eviscerated Jewish global support they'd earned with the lives of millions. The State of Palestine went from probable to inevitable. Hamas refurbished its image and have a lifetime supply of recruits. Hezbollah reiterated its primacy and convinced the sceptics in Lebanon, Iran, and the wider region that Sayed Nasrallah's actions weren't ambitious politicking but necessary countermeasures that must now be aggressively pursued. An Assad that was never going to attack Israel gave way to neo-Taliban Wahhabi terrorists. Heck, he managed to convince the Iraqi militias and Houthis to stop thinking local and start preparing for a future mother-of-all confrontations. He gift-wrapped the casus belli for Iran to acquire nukes on a platter. To put this in perspective, there is currently a fuel crisis in Iran. Usually, this leads to some demonstrations and increases anti-regime fervor amongst the wider population in Iran. Guess what, it's been crickets. Satanyahu convinced the wider Iranian public that the Ayatollah is the devil they know. Satanyahu and the Israeli public would be gleeful if Tehran and Qoms became Gaza. They see what Israeli jets do in Gaza and know they're next. Do you want to wear hijab or do you want to bury your entire family? Taxes were increased marginally in the new budget so as to increase military spending, and Iranians are like, "we'll allow it". That'd have led to protests before October 7. The Resistance was not ready for the events post October 7. There were lots of sceptics within Resistance circles who believed that the Israeli threat wasn't been used by hardliners to pursue personal goals. Satanyahu successfully disabused the sceptics of that notion. Satanyahu has no idea what he's unleashed. Even I am concerned. Satanyahu is to Hamas what Hitler was to Stalin. Satanyahu gave Hezbollah their Pearl Harbor moment. The Houthis are now 19th century Japan. Iran are like the Soviets after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Iraq and Syrian minorities are like; yep, there is something out there worse than the Assad dynasty. I don't think strategists in Iran could have prayed for a better chain of events. At this point, Satanyahu is for all intents and purpose as pivotal to the Resistance as Soleimani. -Lord 6 Likes 1 Share |

WrriterNg: It's the West erecting guardrails around India. What! Do you think they'll stop after Russia and China? They're already planning decades ahead to put the drop on India and enforce a hard limit on how far they can grow. They did it to Japan. We're living through Germany's neutering. If they can do it to their own Western minions, who is India? Maybe, because of the likes of Sunak, Vivek, Tulsi, Haley, Nadella, Pichai; India thinks they'll have a different trajectory. Wishful thinking! It's funny that they're re-using the Uighur script for India. See, if Nigeria gets its sh*t together and start making giant strides. Many of their useful id**ts on this thread are the tools they'll use to cut Nigeria to size. As I repeatedly say in some form, the Hegemony may be dying, but it is still a capable adversary with very potent arrows in their quiver. The multipolar world is not some fancy project. It is an existential necessity. -Lord 9 Likes 2 Shares |

LordAdam16: Thanks but no thanks Why risk a protracted invasion, when you can just destroy your enemies from the sky. Russia did it Syria what stopping Israel from following suit. With her jets the Jews will bring God's judgement upon the Islamic terriosts and their enablers in Yemen. The saudis(pawns) will surely instigate the land based invasion of Houthis controlled Yemen. The Jews need not worry about that. The Israelis have a proud and rich history of military combat victories, this is a nation which was birthed in war. The IDF won't be drawn into any asymmetric land war with any proxies, its airforce and its intelligence agency would do the damage. the Arabs should man up and attack the the Jews, not hiding behind proxies. A conventional warfare is the basis to judge a military force, not some insurgents style warfare when your enemies are unknown and battlelines/fronts are not clearly drawn. P.s the Israeli military and its intelligence agencies have done very well in gaza and labenon, I thought hazebolla said no ceasefire until there was a peace deal in gaza?? Why surrender??. Ten generations from now as long as the Jewish nation stands there will be no Palestine state. Stop dreaming about a Palestine state it will never happen. Same way Hamas needs hate to recruit its thousands in its ranks, same why the Israeli uses patriotism as a means to fill its ranks, future Hamas terrorists will be killed by future IDF operators that's the circle of life. Thanks again for showing your concerns. Netanyahu and the Jewish state will be fine. 1 Like |
