JUST IN: 🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian President Vladimir Putin has REFUSED negotiations with Ukraine and NATO:
“Russia was ready to resume negotiations with Kyiv after the elections, but Ukraine attempted to strike Moscow and attacked polling stations.
Kyiv must feel Russia’s response to attacks on infrastructure and understand that provocations and escalating the situation will not help it.
Aggressive circles in Europe want to use Ukraine as cannon fodder to restrict Russia’s development.”
BREAKING: The US Navy has completely withdrawn its warships from the blockade line around Iran after Iran’s first operational use of the advanced Qasem Basir “carrier killer” anti-ship ballistic missile, with satellite imagery showing no US carriers or destroyers in the Gulf of Oman or Arabian Sea since early September, per open-source intelligence and Sentinel-2 data.
The Qasem Basir has a declared range of roughly 1,200 kilometers — enough to cover nearly the entire Gulf of Oman and the US fleet’s previous positions — and is reportedly equipped with electro-optical and thermal imaging seekers designed to track naval targets. SNSC Secretary Mohsen Rezaei said the missile “created hell for the Americans,” while CENTCOM acknowledged US vessels came under attack by hostile missiles but said they were defeated without damage.
Satellite imagery shows the USS George Washington, USS George H.W. Bush, USS Tripoli and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers are no longer visible in the designated blockade zone, with the line reportedly pushed beyond the missile’s range. The USS Gerald R. Ford has also left the Middle East after a ten-month deployment, leaving the US with two carriers in the region as CENTCOM prepares “short and strong” strike options against Iran.
The blockade remains in place on paper, but the warships enforcing it have reportedly moved beyond the range of Iran’s anti-ship missiles.
Absolutely crazy how the UN allows these Israeli psychopaths to show up and give their crazy evil villain speech after they committed genocide and mass murdered UN workers
BREAKING: Ukrainian drones have just struck Russia's Perm oil refinery this morning, one of the country's largest and one of six refineries that together produce about half of Russia's diesel, with the refinery now on fire.
This comes as the US, the world’s largest diesel exporter, is preparing a 90-day export ban that Trump is inclined to announce by the end of the week. Russia, the second largest, already halted theirs.
Nothing more emblematic of Israel's total impunity on the world stage than its PM casually threatening the United Nations with a repeat of a previous terrorist attack while people demanding his arrest are dragged into police vans as if *they* were the ones with ICC warrants
BREAKING: Iran has just launched anti-ship cruise missiles and drones from southern Iran toward vessels in the Strait of Hormuz in the past minutes, with 3 explosions heard in the Strait, per initial reports.
The target is likely a convoy of US-escorted oil tankers currently transiting the US-backed southern Omani route.
I get why he has to kiss the ring in the imperial core, but I don't think Labour people appreciate how damaging it'll be to become known as Andy "we stand with Israel" Burnham.
What confuses me about US leftists is they willingly ignore huge red flags in their fav new political candidate because they are 'pro-Palestine', but when they increasingly get worse on Palestine they don't even seem to care and just defend the pivot ? Platner and now El-Sayed
Personal property is things like your house, your underwear, your car. We want you to have personal property under communism
Private property is things like factories, utility companies, natural resources, the means of production; and those things should be owned by all
A single Russian missile hitting Berlin, London or Washington would trigger a response so overwhelming that humanity would be lucky to emerge from it at all. And yet munitions manufactured and guided by NATO powers are now routinely hitting Moscow. With no democratic legitimacy — they hold favourability ratings of 15-40% in countries that have no real say on questions of war and peace — Europe’s ruling elites openly state their aim of dismembering Russia. To give their intentions teeth, they have embarked on an armament drive that now exceeds the annualised increases in military spending in the years immediately preceding the First World War. Even the tensest moments of the Cold War, which we now know put us seconds away from annihilation, provide no precedent for the scale of the folly unfolding today. Since there is no meaningful anti-war movement in Europe, we have reached the incredible point where our main barrier to nuclear annihilation is the thinning patience of the leadership in the Kremlin. I don’t think we have ever faced a situation so brittle and been so deeply unprepared to confront it.
Definitely the right way to handle people understandably asking how you can oppose a genocide while campaigning with a key member of the administration that oversaw and facilitated that genocide is to be a snarky asshole about it surely people will respond well to that
