Trump's fucking bunch of lunatic idiots officially asked the Ukraine for help fighting drones, which is a smart idea.

I mean it makes sense: Ukraine has at the moment the biggest active knowledge in the world on mass scale attacks with drones, giving and receiving ends, also in terms of self defense.

Zelensky is willing to lend a helping hand, as long as Ukranian specialists get security guarantees. In return Zelensky requires that this does not weaken the defense capabilities of Ukraine, and there were diplomatic gains for Kyiv.

Zelensky is an incompetent fool if he trades anything for US security guarantees. Or does he say that because he has no choice but to help and is simply quoting the expected rhetoric to save face. Yeah. Probably the latter. Politics :rolleyes:

You are misreading things: Zelensky hopes mainly for diplomatic gains. The security guarantees he requires are only related to Ukrainian specialists teaching drone knowledge abroad, not for the whole country of Ukraine.

Does he, really? And I wonder why that is. :hellokitty:

Trump says he must be involved in selecting new Iran leader
President Trump said Thursday that he must be personally involved in the process of selecting a new leader in Iran.

In an interview with Axios published Thursday, Trump said the son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Mojtaba Khamenei, is most likely to succeed his father, but that the pick would be “unacceptable” to him.

“We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran,” Trump told the outlet.
“They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a lightweight. I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy [Rodríguez] in Venezuela,” the president said.

Mojtaba Khamenei has been appointed as new leader of Iran. He's the son of the old, deceased leader.

Mojtaba rarely speaks to the public, but experts expect him to be at least as much of a hardliner like his father was, if not even worse.

Or he could unfire the people who were closely observing Ukranian drone tactics. I don't know if he actually fired them but it is true to type so it is safer to assume so.

I understand that but Zelensky would be foolish to expect the US to deliver anything the US promises to grant. He does have to say that though. He has to represent that he made a good deal and it would've been beneficial to all if the US had kept their side of the bargain. I hope he remembers to say "Thank You."

edit: spelling

This is absolutely evil:

I'd heard about the submarine destroying an Iranian ship that had been involved in Indian exercises, and leaving without rescue operations. I had not heard, previously, that they had been part of the same joint Indian operations.

The arrogance of this fucking monster. He really does believe America is just here to serve Israel. Fuck that, and fuck the Israeli government. We need to never spend another fucking dime to support Israel.

I believe with every fiber of my being that Israel did it. It is one of their signature moves. Hegseth is too dumb to come up with it.

The full text is stunning:

🚨MUST READ!!! ISRAELI JOURNALIST GIVES FULL ACCOUNT ON WAR! THIS IS WHY OUR GOVT IS CENSORING US:

Israeli journalist, Alon Mizrahi:
"We are witnessing history. Iran is, to the surprise of everyone, fucking up US bases so thoroughly and extensively and so decisively that the world isn’t ready to see it."

"In 4 days, Iran has managed to expand its scope of military domination in the region. Iran has destroyed the most precious, most expensive military bases, assets and equipment in the whole world. American bases in Bahrain and Kuwait and Qatar and Saudi Arabia are some of the biggest military installations in the entire world. These are assets that took trillions to build over the course of several decades. We’re talking a major chunk of military expenditure for over 30 years, going up in smoke.

We are seeing radars costing hundreds of millions of dollars a piece being destroyed in an instant. We are seeing entire military bases being abandoned and burned, decimated and destroyed. And I’m telling you from my knowledge, the US has never suffered such devastation in its entire history, except maybe Pearl Harbor but that was one attack.

No enemy in a normal war has done to the US military what the Iranians are doing to the US military right now. This defies belief. The military situation is so bad that censorship blocks practically every piece of new information about this war. If you’ve noticed we’re being exposed to less and less every day.

Thirty-five years ago during the first Iraq war, we were being shown endless footage from Iraq. The smart bombs and the cameras were a novelty back then, but every night we were being shown night footage. Now we are seeing almost no video.

Understand this! This is supposedly the worlds biggest military power having the worlds biggest air capabilities and for 4 days when the US is on the offensive, supposedly and is supposed to be breaking through Iranian defenses we are seeing NO signs of American domination over Iranian skies. Where is all the footage of our planes flying over Tehran or any part of Iran for that matter?

American soldiers can not even dream of setting foot in Iran. And to understand how desperate this war is, that on the 4th day you’re already hearing the craziest suggestions and ideas from the Trump administration. They are suggesting to send military escorts for oil carrying vessels coming out of the Persian gulf. What are you even talking about?! You want to send American ships into the range of thousands of Iranian missiles? NO ONE can pass through the strait of Hormuz right now.

The Iranians have been preparing for this for decades. They’re flaunting this idea of arming Kurdish militias to invade Iran. What the FUCK are you talking about? Have you seen a map of Iran?! It seems like the Trump administration has never seen a map of Iran! Do you know how massive it is? What do you mean invade Iran?! You think a 10,000 man militia can invade Iran?! Or even 50,000?! Or 100,000?! Iran will swallow them.

The US and Israel have already lost this war. The US and Israel can kill millions of civilians in their homes. They have huge bombs and can explode buildings, but they will not win this war. Iranians military infrastructure and weaponry is so far underground ALL OVER IRAN. There is no way for the Americans and definitely not the Israelis to reach any of it. They are FUCKED.

They have started something they have no chance of bringing to an end. When this is over the US will never come back to West Asia. There will be no American presence in the Middle East. I’m telling you this now with certainty.”

-Alon Mizrahi, Israeli journalist and peace activist on Substack

This is a map showing the physical geography of Iran. It makes pretty clear why invading Iran is not easy, because the country has vast and high mountains.

Isn't that a bit of a dodgy source.

My tip: don't believe Facebook. Only very prominent verified people from very renown news sources are somewhat trustworthy in war times.
