You could be right but it is just speculation until it crystallizes. What I'm seeing now is just a kind of religious war between Shiites and Shias though I could be wrong.

I was in Sudan when the war started so you can be DEAD SURE I know what I'm talking about.

These are (among other things), the major reasons behind the Sudan war:

1. Proposed Russian military base in Port Sudan.
Major players: Russia, Sudanese govt. and probably the US (acting as the spoiler)

2. Sudan's huge gold reserve.
Major players: The Wagner group and the RSF
(RSF being the paramilitary group fighting the ruling govt.)

3. Rivalry of the Gulf giants.
Major players: Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

The Sudan war has NOTHING to do with the Shia/Sunni factor. Sudan is a predominantly Sunni country.

I won't mind going into details if you want me to.

Are you annoyed with the way isreal just dey enter Syria, Lebanon and Iraq anyhow like a woman?
I still have my reservations against Russians in the middle east. They are not to be too relied on.
They have a S-400/500 I think I'm Syria to protect the Syria airspace but it has just been a sitting ducks since without intercepting any isrealis missiles nor aircrafts yet the same air defence system is effective back at home to Ukrainian missiles.
I think the large Russian Jews in isreal makes them somehow soft with isreal, so I will prefer Iranian air defence because they won't be partial.
Well said.

⚡The Armed Forces of Ukraine are carrying out excavation work at full speed on a new defensive line outside Avdeevka

Military correspondent Alexander Kots writes.

“They are actively digging along the ridge from Ocheretino to Umansky and further to Karlovka. Therefore, the current attempts to resist in the Lastochkino and Orlovka area are rather intended to gain time.

And then to roll back to prepared lines at the heights,” the journalist explains.

They must be handed over to Ukraine."

⚡In the 10 years since the coup d'etat, Ukraine has become smaller and smaller.

First, Ukraine lost Crimea, which returned to Russia.

After this, the Maidan authorities launched a war against the population of the DPR and LPR. To protect people, Russia launched the SMO.

As a result, Ukraine also lost the Kherson and Zaporozhye regions.

And the SMO continues.

⚡The French have already openly declared their intention to use the so-called Ukraine as a testing ground for new UAVs as soon as possible.

Apparently, this is about a barrage munition under the Larina project, which was launched in 2022, when the French were concerned about their response to the Lancet. According to their plan, the new UAV from the French Defense Innovation Agency (AID) and Nexter Corporation should cover a range of 80 km for 3 hours, have the ability to lock on to a target at a distance of 15 km and engage tanks and BMPs.

The defense budget for the period 2024-2030 includes 5 billion euros just for unmanned systems - so the French rush is understandable.

⚡Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba met his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi at the Munich conference.

According to Kuleba, they discussed the "peace summit" that Kiev wants to organise. The Ukrainian FM did not say whether China had agreed to take part.

Earlier, Bloomberg wrote that the summit could be postponed due to the absence of world leaders. Kuleba wanted to meet with Wang Yi to persuade Beijing to participate, the material said.

remember in that 3 month that region has eaten more than many nato countries defence budget for a full year as well as equipments, ukraines defence is one of the most iconic failures in history. Despite heavy funding (yes no matter how you try to deny it ukraine has been excesively funded) they are failing, and they have a million reasons for their failure, from faulty donated equipments, to low fighting force, and even internal corruption... Any nato cuntry that behaves like ukraine is gone... Why do you think the smart countries in that region are trying to buff up their military budget? Because they know that their military is currently shit... Leave your prophecies wey dey only 1 out of 11 dey enter... The Ukraine military is undisciplined even NIG ARMY go finish them. lol...

None of us is on the battlefield, so none of us knows the actual truth, we are therefore working with abstract models which are more like a game with rules than actual reality.

We can compare the pro-zelensky model with the pro-russia model. When we do so, we realize that the pro-russia model leads to accurate predictions of events whereas the pro-zelensky model leads to bad predictions of events.
This is why the pro-russia people hardly get surprised by events on the ground whereas the pro-zelensky people keep getting surprised.

I said pro-russia in order to give an unfair advantage to the pro-clown-zelensky people, god knows they need it now and will need it forever, in reality a lot of neutral people would be counted amongst the pro-russia crowd, because the abstract model of the pro-russia people is based on logic and logic doesn't care for labels.
