The Battle for Kherson The Ukrainian Kherson offensive has already started. There was no specific starting day but instead a gradual ramp up of pressure on the Russians This is a thread about what I think we can expect from the Kherson offensive in 2022 (1) #UkraineRussiaWar

It takes a special kind of strategic incompetence to achieve total military dominance and still pathetically lose a war, yet that is exactly what Donald Trump did in Iran. The US and Israel ruled the skies, hitting almost every target with virtually zero resistance and few aircraft losses. Even so, the entire operation failed because Trump is a loudmouth fraud who was never actually ready to commit. Before the war started, I wrote that Iran's best move would be to just to try to somehow survive the first wave, and call Trump's bluff, and that is exactly what they did. They realized early on that Trump's tough-guy routine was entirely hollow. Airstrikes alone rarely force an aggressive regime to collapse. Trump ignored every historian and military advisor, charging ahead with Israel without a clear objective. This was not a typical asymmetric victory like Ukraine's resistance against Russia, where the smaller nation wins by inflicting severe costs on the occupier. Iran's military performance was miserable. Their air defenses were a joke, and their retaliatory strikes achieved almost nothing. They won the war of wits because survival was existential for them, while for Trump, it was a political stunt. They correctly gambled that the US had no stomach for a prolonged ground invasion. They just had to absorb the hits and choke off global oil supplies in the Strait of Hormuz. Both sides held back some of their biggest moves, since Washington kept ground troops out of the fight and Tehran chose not to make the Houthis completely seal off Bab el Mandeb. I have absolutely zero sympathy for the horrific Iranian regime. Trump deeply betrayed the people of Iran by waiting until their domestic uprisings were brutally crushed before launching his badly prepared operation. He talked big and made sweeping demands, yet everyone knew he lacked the resolve to follow through. The upcoming peace deal will inevitably be far worse than the JCPOA he originally tore down. This war exposed the hard limits of Trump's posturing. When an adversary stood their ground and called his bluff, the entire might of the US armed forces could not cover up his cowardice and stupidity

Orban and his corrupt entourage think they have found a safe place from legal prosecution in Trump's America but all it takes is Republican election defeat to turn that on its head whereafter they will have to flee to Russia //www.jpost.com/international/article-894327

I am guessing parts of MAGA will now be even more enthusiastic about Russia telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…

Russia is an economic mosquito and you are obviously an Indian fan boy who's country has a GDP 5 times smaller than the EU's despite having many more people so you and both Russia and India are irrelevant. Crawl back to the hole you came from!

and then the resulting damage which in this case is not fatal to the ship but will take it out of action for a long time. In addition then everyone on the bridge almost certainly were killed which will make others hesitant to want to sail on the ships in the future

Likely a total loss judging from the damage or at the very least out of action for the next couple of years. The cost of bringing this ship back in service will likely be so expensive that it is not a practical proposition

an old man out of touch. The Russian elite and middle class were fine with however many people from the poorer regions would die in Ukraine but take away their comforts like the internet and they will, turn against him

Killing Fields

When the Allies encountered Hitlerjugend in 1944 after landing in Normandy they righly treated them as enemy combatants. Child or no child. By recruiting children to kill Ukrainians, Russia is putting its own children in danger as they then become enemy soldiers

Takie systemy antydrnowe powinny być jak najszybciej wdrażane w Polsce i dostarczane do jednostek. To najtańszy sposób neutralizowania zagrożeń powietrznych..

It is no surprise that both Peter Thiel and Donald Trump Jr are backing the drug Olympics where taking steroids, growth hormones and testosterone is encouraged by the organisers... bbc.com/news/articles/cedpz1…

told you so two days ago. The big sell-out is well underway and we may see China make its move in a not so distant future. I think the first step would be a maritime blockade of Taiwan

In terms of drone development equivalent to aircraft development we are now in May 1915, the Month when the Germans first introduced propeller synchronised machine guns on their fighter planes with devastating effect
