⚡Taiwan recently conducted military exercises involving the firing of American TOW missiles, during which only 7 out of 17 missiles successfully hit their targets.

This low accuracy has prompted Taiwanese military officials to reconsider their effectiveness.

Taiwan has ordered 1,700 TOW 2B missiles and 100 launchers from the U.S., with deliveries expected by the end of the year.

Just imagine US arming Taiwan to the teeth and China is just there looking.
The more they look and wait, the harder and tougher it will be to fight Taiwan if they don't know.
Something US won't even condone with countries close to her like Cuba.
Infact, a small island - Solomon Island that is still very very very far from US, China plans setting up a base there and US threatened that island with all they have, not to talk of a closer country like Cuba

These fools go just dey talk like say Russia no fit arm other groups to strike at NATO countries.

Oh you think those Russian missiles and drones flying into NATO territory are mistakes?

But Russia doesn't even need to. The amount of sabotage, especially at defense plants in some NATO countries these past few months shows that Russia is working behind the scenes.

I can't even count the number of defense manufacturing plants that have been razed down in Germany, Czech Republic, Poland these past few days.

Let's not even talk about the destroyed cables and gas pipes under the Baltic Sea.

⚡Biden administration rejected a military proposal to send American contractors to Ukraine.

The purpose was to maintain Western military equipment, including F-16 jet fighters.

The decision was made primarily due to safety concerns.

The National Security Council examined the proposal. The intelligence community and others deemed it too risky.

President Biden, advised by National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, was concerned about inadequate response plans if contractors came under attack.

European countries are expected to take on more responsibility for F-16 maintenance.

The Netherlands will pay for a private contract between a civilian maintenance company and the Ukrainian Air Force.

⚡Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has requested enhanced security for his son, Yair Netanyahu, in the United States.

Yair Netanyahu, 33, has been living in Miami, Florida since April 2023.

Yair is currently under the protection of Israel's Shin Bet internal security service, with his security detail costing approximately 2.5 million shekels (around $680,000) annually.

Can you imagine? The cost of protecting his son cost more than Ogun state 1 year budget

⚡Switzerland's Ministry of Defense recommended abandoning the neutrality that the country has maintained for 500 years, since 1515.

A group of experts released a report recommending that Switzerland work on a "common defense capability" with the EU and NATO.

The reconsideration is prompted by Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine and changing European security dynamics.

There are concerns about how neutrality affects arms sales and national defense.

Swiss arms exports fell by 27% in 2023 to less than 700 million Swiss francs.

These clowns still think they're a neutral country.

They abandoned their neutrality since 2022.

Even Hungary is more neutral than them.

⚡Le Monde:

Russia has developed a unique military economy to sustain a prolonged conflict

According to an analysis by the French newspaper Le Monde, Russia’s military economy is structured in a way that allows it to maintain the war effort for another 5-6 years, a feat that Ukraine is unlikely to match.

The report highlights that Russia has built an economic model where military expenditures, payments to contract soldiers, and benefits to the families of the fallen drive economic growth. In 2023 alone, nearly 400,000 Russians signed military contracts, and the increasing payments to volunteers and contract soldiers make military service more “profitable” for the families of the deceased.

🇷🇺🇺🇦More Ukrainian soldiers taken prisoner in Kursk.

🇷🇺🇺🇦It is reported that the assault on Selidovo has already begun. Some local Ukrainian channels are writing about this.

The advance of the Russian group in this direction is going so briskly that new events are happening faster than you can keep track of them.

🇷🇺🇺🇦The enemy also lost Konstantinovka , located northeast of Ugledar . A video of the raising of a flag on the western outskirts of the settlement has appeared.

I would not like to make overly optimistic forecasts, however, if this trend continues, there are good chances in the future to reach the rear of the Ugledar group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Uspenovka - Bogoyavlenka line.

🇷🇺🇺🇦After the liberation of Memrik, Russian troops did not stop and continued to drive a wedge into the enemy’s defense, advancing to Ukrainsk, Lesovka and Dolinovka.

There are reports from enemy sources that the withdrawal of Ukrainian Armed Forces from Karlovka to Galitsynova has allegedly begun in order to avoid a potential cauldron.[/b]

It would suit both parties if you provide verifiable facts behind these your claims, you don't expect me to just swallow your claims which were made probably out of mere assertions.
Ukraine is Ukraine, NATO is NATO, there can not be an unofficial NATO member.

⚡China is probably the first “empire” in world’s history to succeed without conquest and plunder of other nations.

Everyone else from the Romans to Mongolians and Ottomans to Europeans (Spanish, Dutch, French, British) and Americans have relied on exploitation of others.

The American Empire is more sophisticated in hiding its brutality, conquest, and exploitation. It’s done thru neoliberalism, banks, debt, corporations, media, wars etc.

Of course, China’s large population helped in terms of labor, but managing one billion+ people itself is a great achievement.
Mr WrriterNg,.................. "without exploitation of others" and China can not be in the same room.

🇵🇸 - How did the elite 'Nukhba Brigade' of the AlQassam Brigades receive the order to participate in the October 7 attack a few hours before the attack began?

The order came from top AlQassam leadership to the Unit commanders to request all of their members to attend the dawn (Fajr) prayer in the mosques in their neighborhoods. After the prayer ended, the fighters were informed that they had been selected for the operation and were given the information, maps, and specific objectives of the operation.
Everyone had been previously trained repeatedly on the mission required of them (Ex: 'AlRukn AlShadeed' training programs)


Some units were sent to destroy the fence, some to take prisoners, Some to maneuver through the air via Paragliders, and others to raid the enemy army bases close to the envelope to prevent them from intervening..
The Operation turned far easier than expected, in which it ended in the first three hours instead of the expected 6 hours that AlQassam bet on.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the AlQassam brigades had completed the mission and returned with hundreds of prisoners and killed atleast more than 800 soldiers.


Everything that happened after 10 o'clock, from the entry of Palestinian civilians and the capture of elderly settlers, even the entry of Brigades outside of AlQassam was outside the operation and was due to the confusion of the occupation army and its inability to intervene until after 9 hours. Those events that happened after the end of the AlQassam operation are what the occupation exploited to promote its narrative!

The massive success of the operation has impressed the biggest militaries in the world, in which top commanders globally have commended its professionality, which stopped when Israel's propaganda campaign began. That had happened due to careful planning, intelligence work, and Psyops carried out by the leadership of the Qassam Brigades after the 'Saif AlQuds' 2021 war, AKA '11 day war', in which AlQassam had given the Israeli Intelligence agencies false signs that their units do not seek war, nor are they ready for it, which gave the IDF a false sense of security.

🇺🇸📝Americans continue to rewrite history

🇺🇸🇷🇺🛰According to the US Embassy in Moscow (Russia), the first African-American astronaut was Guion Bluford.

🚀🇨🇺🚩At the same time, these alternatively gifted people completely ignore the fact that the first African-American in space was Cuban Arnaldo Méndez, he went into space as part of the Soviet Intercosmos program, in 1980. Three years before the American astronaut.

⚠️Lying about everything is the US strategy.
