It doesn't matter if you were referring to me, it matters that your ultimate master is actually a professional clown and you are calling people "clown". That probably is a great compliment coming from you.

🇨🇳❌China has significantly increased the construction of silos for its ICBMs

🇺🇸 🏢The Pentagon assesses that China has laid down and completed at least 300 new silos—a dramatic expansion from the 20 fixed launchers Beijing operated for decades.


🔖⚫️The Pentagon previously has reported to Congress that China's intercontinental-range missile launchers, in total, outnumber America's 400 silos loaded with the 54-year-old Minuteman III.

🔝China has thus exceeded the targeting coverage of the obsolescing U.S. land-based capability.

🇺🇸🛳❌🇮🇱The US has informed Netanyahu that US warships will soon be ordered home because they cannot remain in the Eastern Mediterranean indefinitely to protect Israel. He is being asked to decide what to do next.

🛳 🛳There are currently two aircraft carriers in Middle Eastern waters, the USS Theodore Roosevelt and the USS Abraham Lincoln, along with their accompanying warships. They were deployed there amid the escalation with Iran several weeks ago.

đź’ŁIn addition, the USS Georgia, a nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine that can carry Navy SEALs, is also in the region.

🇾🇪 Yemen's Ansarallah issued a statement announcing they shot a new American MQ-9, today, the 8th in the past few months.

The U.S. military doesn't openly acknowledge such losses, as some are operated by the CIA and are unamarked.

In previous cases similar to this a U.S. defense official, spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters, told the AP that “the U.S. Air Force has not lost any aircraft operating within U.S. Central Command’s area of responsibility.”

Ska333ko:
🇵🇸🎖✔️Hamas has restored its capabilities in the northern Gaza Strip and recruited 3,000 new fighters, - Israeli TV channel Channel 13, citing a source in the security service

đź“ŁEarlier, the main spokesman for the Hamas military wing Al-Qassam, Abu Ubeida, made a statement in which he announced the restoration of the ranks of the Al-Qassam infantry and the recruitment of thousands of people, which negated all losses in manpower.

When we kept telling them that Hamas will emerge from this stronger, they all kept saying all sorts of things. Hamas today is the result of the previous massacres Israel committed against Palestinian people. The Hamas of the future is the result of the current genocide Israel is committing against today's Palestinians.

Before October 7, the hunter was the one hunting and killing the lion. On October 7, the lion started hunting the hunter. October 7 is just the beginning.

Colonel Douglas Macgregor uncovers how Russia’s mastery of deception has shattered Ukraine’s defenses. From staged retreats to operational misdirection, Russia’s strategic genius has consistently outmaneuvered Ukraine and its Western allies. This detailed breakdown explores the tactics that led to Ukraine’s catastrophic losses and Russia's remarkable successes on the battlefield. As the conflict rages on, the question remains—how much longer can Ukraine hold out?

⚡Alaudinov Reports Shift in Ukrainian Tactics in the Kursk Region.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) have changed their tactics in the Kursk region, according to Major General Apty Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat special forces.

"The UAF personnel are being brought from a distance, unloaded, and quickly try to retreat to avoid entering the zone of direct impact from Russian forces. In most areas, the enemy is actively digging in," Alaudinov stated.

He also noted that the UAF is now trying to conceal their equipment after suffering significant losses in the initial days of the incursion into Russian territory.

Zelensky is basically asking the USA to directly shoot at russian military in order for Russia to respond by shooting back at .... the USA !

That is zelensky's endgame. Ukraine has no control over USA's long range missiles and zelensky knows that Russia knows it. Only the USA has control over USA's long range missiles.

Nuking Ukraine will not trigger WWII. There will be panic here and there but no one will risk nuclear annihilation for Zelensky.

Those Mongols actually make up part of the ancestry of the Russians of today. I think Moscow was under Mongol rule for around 300 years or something like that.

As I always say, the Mongols created Russia.

I think you confused rank with insignia. Also Russia doesn't have the same military ranks as NATO countries. For example Russia has a rank called "colonel general". That is what it is to be an indigenous military, not a foreign created military like the Nigerian military.

⚡Venezuelan government said Saturday opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia, who disputed President Nicolas Maduro’s July 28 reelection, has left the country to seek asylum in Spain.

Gonzalez Urrutia had been in hiding for a month, ignoring three successive summons to appear before prosecutors, saying attending the hearing could have cost his freedom.

“After taking refuge voluntarily at the Spanish embassy in Caracas a few days ago, (Gonzalez Urrutia) asked the Spanish government for political asylum,” Venezuela’s vice president said on social media, adding that Caracas had agreed to his safe passage.

Madrid’s Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares said on X that Gonzalez Urrutia “at his request” had departed on a Spanish military plane, adding that Spain was “committed to the political rights” of all Venezuelans.

You don't get it, zelensky is trying all he can to make sure this turns into ww3. That is why he says what he says. And you need to understand that what zelensky is doing is to invite the USA to join the war.

It is not about nukes falling on Ukraine, but about the USA and NATO joining the war. That is what zelensky is trying to realise by saying " please cross Russian red lines, don't worry about it".
This makes 100% sense.. Seems the US understands this and that's why they won't give Ukraine a long-range weapon. US isn't suicidal enough to risk it citizen lives for Ukraine.

⚡North Korea appears to be developing a new nuclear intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

This new TEL has 12 axles, which is significant because it's larger than known designs.

For comparison, the largest previously known TEL, used for the Hwasong-17 ICBM, has 11 axles.

I hope so.
Let me leave this little note for all the readers:

Let A and B be two different countries.
Suppose that B is a very powerful country and if A's leaders declare war on B, then A's leaders might be removed from power by A's people and be locked up in mental asylums or in hard labour prisons or even be shot to death by A's military.

So how do A's leaders go about getting a war started with B while preserving their positions? Well, that is what we call "calculated provocations". A's leaders propaganda networks will make a case to A's people as to why A's leaders' actions are necessary for "peace" and to protect A's people's freedoms.

But the aim is for B's leaders to respond to those provocations, henceforth the war would have been started by B's leaders in the eyes of A's people and that would keep A's leaders positions safe while A's leaders desired war is in full swing.
