@Dr_TheHistories Your confirmation of “no official” as they always default to lying & covering their tracks in multiple layers of propaganda through official, MSM and other private audio-print media outlets. This continues until any other narration challenging the US/Allied version is suppressed.
Bavar-373 is Iran’s most advanced air defence system, and its development started shortly after Russia banned S-300 sales to Iran in 2010.
Iran said it would develop its own comparable system, and 10 years ago an IRINN broadcast showed us the first major pieces…
Thread 🧵
Modi got the shorter end of the stick when he visited Zelensky in Kyiv last week.
Zelensky asked Modi point blank to show his displeasure:
1) why must India buy Russian oil?
2) why must India buy Russia weapons?
3) why did Modi not attend the Peace Summit in Switzerland personally? Can India support the next Peace Summit by organising it?
4) Putin is a "killer" why did Modi hug him in Moscow
5) Putin has no respect for Modi as he allegedly"bombed" a children's hospital in Ukraine during Modi's visit .
Modi was made to look like a fool by Zelensky.
@archeohistories This isn't history or any point in it being historical fact. Pure fabrication.
How come western kingdoms knew about Asian (Indian peninsula) spices w/o anyone from Asian/African side visiting them. How did they not know about Alexander, king of Macedonia, or Roman feats in MENA?
Why the lack of strategic depth means that Israel cannot win a war of attrition with many enemies on multiple fronts at the same time. Which is the strategy that Iran is employing on Israel now.
Israel has very small land area. It is only 20,770 sq km in area i.e. 2/3 the size of Belgium. The lack of strategic depth significantly impacts Israel's ability to fight a war of attrition in several key ways:
1. Vulnerability to attacks: Israel's small size and narrow width (just 14 km at its narrowest point) make its population centers and critical infrastructure highly vulnerable to enemy attacks[1].
2. Limited buffer zone: The absence of strategic depth means Israel has little space to absorb initial enemy advances without immediately threatening core areas of the country[1].
3. Offensive military doctrine: Due to its lack of strategic depth, Israel has adopted an offensive/pre-emptive approach to warfare rather than a defensive posture. This strategy aims to shift combat onto enemy territory quickly[1].
4. Rapid conflict resolution: Israel's strategic limitations force it to seek quick resolutions to conflicts, as prolonged wars of attrition could be existentially threatening[1].
5. Reliance on reservists: Israel's small population means it relies heavily on reservists for ground combat, which can be challenging to sustain in a prolonged conflict[1].
6. Concentrated assets: Israel's population, industry, and military infrastructure are heavily concentrated within easy reach of its borders, making them vulnerable targets in a war of attrition[1].
7. Maritime focus: To compensate for its lack of land-based strategic depth, Israel has been intensifying its maritime strategic depth in the Mediterranean Sea[1].
8. Artificial strategic depth: Israel has attempted to create "artificial strategic depth" through measures like fortified settlements and advanced military technologies[1].
9. Deterrence strategy: Instead of relying on strategic depth, Israel has historically focused on deterrence through superior operational and intelligence capabilities, as well as periodic shows of force[2].
10. Nuclear Weapon myth: Israel has through MOSSAD/CIA disinformation claimed that they have working tactical nukes hoping to use the fictional nuke to deter an attack on Israel itself as it lacks strategic depth and its economy cannot survive and heavy bombing attacks. Even if Israel gets tactical nukes from its co-partner in the Gaza Genocide, the US – it will be the end of Israel as a) it has no strategic depth, 2) a nuclear response from Iran and Turkey would devastate Israel to the point of obliterating the whole country and its livability.
11. Vulnerability to non-state actors: Groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis, while lacking conventional military strength, can launch numerous rockets into Israel, further highlighting the limitations of Israel's strategic depth and cutting off re-supply route via the Suez/Red Sea. Forcing international airlines and ships to cancel all scheduled flights and shipments to Israel and causing Israel’s import dependent economy to collapse. As a result most MNC have closed their factories in Israel and most dual citizens in the tech industries have left the country due to safety and career reasons.[1].
12. Vulnerability to BDS. Israel is an export dependent country. Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement have caused all MNCs to close their operations in Israel and move their investment out of the country for fear of boycott by global consumers who are outraged by the Gaza Genocide. [9]
13. Vulnerability to US political cycle and weak economy. The US presidential election is on 6 Nov 2024 - the incumbent president and VP Kamala would like to have a meaningful ceasefire or peace deal in Gaza before the election - which is what the majority of Israeli do not want. As the Israeli wants the Palestinians to be driven out of Gaza and the West Bank i.e. they want ethnic cleansing. Israelis are not interested in a 2-State Solution.
These factors combined make it challenging for Israel to sustain a prolonged war of attrition, pushing it towards strategies that favor swift, decisive actions and deterrence rather than protracted conflicts - which Iran has cleverly avoided by announcing that they will retaliate the assassination of Hamas Chief Haniyeh but did not specify the time - causing panic in Israel as uncertainty and war of attrition are something Israel cannot handle.

Why is the US Navy looking so incompetent when dealing with the Houthis in the Red Sea?
The U.S. Navy is challenged by the Houthis in the Red Sea due to several factors:
1. Moral support of the World for the Houthis, who is fighting to stop the Gaza Genocide
2. Unexpected Intensity: The conflict with the Houthis has become the most intense sea battle since WWII, with near-daily attacks using drones and missiles, overwhelming the Navy's resources[1][3].
3. Mobility and Stealth: The Houthis utilize mobile platforms, launching missiles from pickup trucks and quickly relocating, making it difficult for the Navy to target them effectively[11][13].
4. Adaptation and Innovation: The Houthis have adapted by using commercial radar systems and evolving their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) to include coordinated attacks with drones and missiles[9][10][11].
5. Cost-Effective Warfare: They employ inexpensive drones and missiles, imposing high costs on the Navy, which must use expensive countermeasures as launching 2 US anti-air missiles for every drone that Houthis shoot at them. The cost of each US anti-air missile is around USD 2 mil vs the Houthis drones that cost not more than USD 20,000 each [8][12].
6. Limited Intelligence: The U.S. lacks detailed intelligence on the Houthis' capabilities and stockpiles, making it difficult to counter their attacks effectively. 70 Israeli, US and UK soldiers sent to infiltrate Yemen were all caught and executed - causing much embarrassment to the US, UK and Israel. [10].
7. Geopolitical Complications: The U.S. faces difficulties rallying allies and partners as a result of its support of the Gaza Genocide showing itself to be a 2-faced outside power that is 100% behind Israel and its Genocide in Gaza - thereby turning the Rest of the World against the US/Israel as many of the US allies do not want to be included in the US/Israel's Axis of Evil.

We need to absolutely call out such Zionist white Jews for the bestial savages that they are.
I don't give two fucks about the Holocaust. The killing of six million Jews does not mean that the remaining Jews get to commit genocide.

@thinking_panda Most western theists (schizos) are among the most vile creatures on the planet compared to the average theist. Those lowlifes label atheists as communists/Marxists to fulfill some cultist agenda.
The Japanese have been producing wood for 700 years without cutting down trees.
In 14th Century AD, extraordinary daisugi technique was born in Japan. Indeed, the daisugi provide that these trees will be planted for future generations and not be cut down but pruned as if they were giant bonsai trees; by applying this technique to cedars, the wood that can be obtained is uniform, straight and without knots, practically perfect for construction.
A pruning as a rule of art that allows the tree to grow and germinate while using its wood, without ever cutting it down.

@berningman16 Don't. There's no point in having a pyrrhic victory against rabid enemies & irreversibly benefitting frenemies (RU & CN) in the process. Arabs will be ecstatic to see the Iranian threat gone.
It's a very complex decision, so they need to be very sure about every move & reaction.

@neverwinter_9@BeijingDai I absolutely agree that the priority should be to deny US (Western) hegemony and defeat it.
Emotional (inflamed) conversations like VN vs CN, if not addressed and resolved between the belligerents and the SEA community, could fuel color revolutions at the behest of the West.
📸 🗳️ Germany Proposes A Vote
January 13, 1935
The Saarland region had been forcibly detached from Germany since the end of World War 1. The referendum allowed the residents of the Saar to choose between 3 options:
1. Remain under the League of Nations.
2. Join France (Receiving less than 0.5% of the votes.)
3. Reunite with Germany.
The overwhelming majority voted to rejoin Germany.
On the eve of World War II, a similar resolution was put forth to address the 'Danzig Corridor' problem between Germany and Poland which was rejected.
@BeijingDai Indian IT coolies get absolutely insulted by everything under the sun where China comes out to be the winner or deciding entity.
Imo, X handles @BeijingDai & @Zhao_dashuai also love to entertain Indian coolies to boost their account stats. 🫢
