Israel killed nearly 100,000 people in 1,000 days in Lebanon and Palestine with weapons supplied by 51 countries.
That means Israel killed about 100 people every day for 1,000 days with complete impunity.
This's what real threat to world peace looks like.
NEW: 🇺🇸🇨🇳 Apple wants to use Chinese memory chips to lower the prices of their products, Micron the only major U.S. memory chip maker, is lobbying against, per WSJ
Apple is lobbying the Trump administration to allow it to use memory chips from China's ChangXin Memory Technologies and Yangtze Memory Technologies in products sold outside the U.S., arguing the move would ease the global memory shortage and help lower costs, WSJ reports.
Micron, the only major U.S. memory chip maker, is lobbying against the plan, warning it could undermine the domestic semiconductor industry, even if the chips are only used in products sold abroad.
Russia marks Navy Day today, 26 July, the last Sunday of the month and the fleet’s 330th anniversary year. The main naval parade in St Petersburg is reported cancelled for a second consecutive year, while Ukrainian strikes on Russian vessels continued into the weekend.
The Observance
Russian official and media accounts trace the holiday to Peter I and the victory at Cape Gangut in July 1714, with the modern observance formally established in 1939 on the initiative of Admiral Nikolai Kuznetsov and reconfirmed by presidential decree in the post-Soviet period. Putin noted in a June address to shipbuilders that the Russian Navy marks its 330th anniversary this year. Ceremonies traditionally extend beyond St Petersburg to Vladivostok, Severomorsk, Baltiysk, Kaspiisk and Sevastopol.

The Parade Question
Fontanka reported in mid-June, citing sources in the Defence Ministry and Navy command, that no presidential decree authorising the Main Naval Parade had been issued and that fleets had received no orders to send ships or personnel to St Petersburg. The event has been held annually since 2017 on the Neva and at Kronstadt. The Kronstadt segment was dropped in 2024, the 2025 parade was cancelled outright with Peskov citing security reasons, and this year’s reported cancellation followed Ukrainian drone strikes on military facilities in and around St Petersburg.

The Naval Balance
Zelensky stated on 4 July that Russia has lost the Black Sea, releasing figures attributed to Ukrainian naval command: of 33 main combat ships, four destroyed and eight damaged; of 34 landing ships, fifteen destroyed and ten damaged; of 23 auxiliary vessels, three destroyed and nine damaged. Britain’s Defence Ministry had earlier described the Black Sea Fleet as functionally inactive. The ATESH partisan group reported in June that fleet command was preparing to relocate from Sevastopol to Novorossiysk, with officers moving families ahead of any formal order. Russian official sources have not confirmed the relocation or the loss tallies.

Timing
The holiday follows Ukraine’s 25 July operation in the Caspian, which the SBU says struck a Project 12418 Molniya-class missile boat, the Filanovsky offshore platform, and two sanctioned cargo vessels. The Caspian Flotilla has historically featured in Navy Day observances at Kaspiisk. Moscow has not issued a detailed response to the Caspian claims.

🔻 They want a ceasefire because their strategic and expensive assets have been destroyed, and they have used up a lot of ammunition.
🔻 Of course, Iran has also suffered losses, and a ceasefire would give Iran the opportunity to recover, but I prefer not to stop just yet.
🔻 But the generals of the IRGC, and the Leader of Iran, know best...
