  • It’s not an agenda, it’s the reality. According to Reuters, Russia captured 196 square kilometres of Ukrainian territory in one week yesterday. To give you an idea of what that means in the scale of the conflict, Ukraine currently control 570 square kilometres of Kursk, and controlled a maximum of 1000 square kilometres at the peak of the incursion. This was touted as their massive offensive into Russian territory. In other words, Russia captured the equivalent of over a third of the Russian territory Ukraine holds in Kursk, in one week in Ukraine. Ukraine has lost multiple “fortress cities” over the past month, which has crippled their ability to defend their territory.

    The fact that even the Economist, a source which is usually pro US foreign policy and pro Ukraine, is admitting that things are going bad in Ukraine should be very concerning.







  • Trump’s winning then.

    Also it should be noted just how much and how far the Democrats and #resistance libs have enabled this anti immigrant attitude and behaviour. As an outsider it’s incredibly obvious. We went from libs in 2016 saying that no human is illegal and having Anthony Bourdain (may his soul rest in peace) doing episodes of his restaurant and cooking shows in support of the immigrant community, to Kamala Harris plagiarising Trump’s 2016 rhetoric and making up myths about how immigrants are bringing crime and drugs (in fentanyl) to the USA. How far they have fallen in less than a decade. Never forget that. Enablers often get off scot-free when they are just as guilty.









  • It also seems as if someone at the RSF doesn’t understand the difference between cargo planes and fighter jets, they kept mentioning something about shooting down Egyptian Antonov planes for bombing them.

    Ali Rizkallah ‘Savannah,’ a prominent RSF commander in North Darfur, appeared in one video at the scene of the crash (below), saying they had used “guided missiles” to bring down the “Egyptian Antonov.”

    The only Antonov planes operated by the Egyptian Air Force are the An-74T-200, which are solely military transport aircraft. Unless the Egyptians are just throwing bombs out the back, I don’t see how this is a bomber. And why would the Egyptians even bother to do this when they have Dassault Rafales, F-16s and MiG-29s? Sudan have used an An-26 as an improvised bomber in the past, but in that case it would not be an Egyptian aircraft as claimed. Or are they claiming that Egypt buys An-26 aircraft for Sudan to use as bombers? It seems as if there was just some kind of confusion with regards to what they were doing and their planned target, a lack of co-ordination between the main commanders and those on the ground.

    The UAE have been supporting the RSF in Sudan for a while now, likely for natural resources like gold as you stated. Their sub-imperialist ventures into Africa are scaling up, but I think they’ll need some more competent proxies if they want success. I guess the RSF will start learning from their mistakes at some point through battlefield experience though.





  • whereas Israel’s responses are usually more covert or via proxies (“oh yeah, that terrorist attack DEFINITELY wasn’t linked to us, no sirree”).

    The Israeli response to Iran’s April attack broke from that pattern and was done to send a message in my opinion. Everyone focused on the quadcopter drone being shot down, but Israel managed to take out the radar component of an S300PMU2 with an ALBM likely fitted with an anti radiation seeker, and likely fired some long range ALBMs with inert warheads, the booster stages of which landed in Iraq. With Israel preparing over 50 of those weapons, who knows what happens next.

    I think Iran is betting on their own version of non nuclear Mutually Assured Destruction with their missile capabilities, to try dissuade Israel from launching too large of an attack or attacking Iran’s critical facilities. An Iranian missile attack similar to that which impacted Nevatim, aimed at a soft target like electrical, oil or water/sanitisation infrastructure, would be devastating.
