Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: IMO there is other leverage, we’re just too reluctant to apply it. Destroy their oil infrastructure and see how their already shit economy does without energy exports. There are other things if that doesn’t do it. Like North Korea’s shitty economy, that would not prevent a Iran nuclear weapon program from moving forward |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Jaehaerys: The US clearly wants out of the Middle East. The entire point of the Abraham Accords was to get Israel and the Sunni Arab states to play nice with one another in order to combat Iran, as the desire on the part of the US to maintain a significant presence in the Middle East has plummeted. The whole "pivot to Asia" thing was originally about diverting resources from the Middle East (not Europe) to Asia. Even in light of the current situation, the US is working towards agreements to withdraw troops from Iraq, and that also probably means a withdraw from Syria is going to happen, which the Biden Administration has floated. I also don't see a hypothetical second Trump Administration being super willing to intervene in the Middle East, beyond materially supporting Israel and maybe prodding Iran a bit, should the situation call for it. I go back and forth between in my thinking regarding US presence in the Middle East. In the past, I've advocating for almost entirely withdrawing from the region, on the grounds that it's a chaotic, sectarian nightmare with little to no hope of stability, regardless of what the US does. There also exists the possibility that the US gets drawn into additional conflict there (more or less the discussion of you and Capta's posts) that drains US resources from our responsibilities to great power competition with China and Russia. At the moment, we've somehow managed to get drawn into another extremely controversial Middle Eastern conflict, all while significantly neglecting great power competition. On the other hand, I've almost come to view it similar to Europe in the first half of the twentieth century, in that when the US has tried to disengage, something has filled the vacuum that demands the US return. The last time we started to leave the Middle East to its own devices, Iran pressured Maliki and Assad to start oppressing the Sunni hard, and that caused AQI to storm back in the form of ISIS and accomplish the long-standing Salafi-jihadist goal of establishing a no-shit Islamic State, from which terror attacks all across the globe were launched. I don't really see any easy answers regarding the Middle East. It kind of looks like a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation to me at this point. Apologies if this post is a little disjointed, as it's late and I've been drinking. I’d say despite all this talk of a withdrawal in 2025 or 2026 that it’s all premature Baghdad claims but everyone knows they can’t manage isis so this will get strung out imo https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/baghdad-postpones-announcement-date-of-us-led-forces-exit-fr  https://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2024/09/analysis-responding-forcefully-to-the-axis-of-resistance.php   Trump Says He'll Keep Base in Iraq to 'Watch Iran'  https://english.alarabiya.net/amp/News/middle-east/2024/09/04/bomb-blast-kills-two-army-officers-injures-four-soldiers-in-iraq-officials  https://www.al-monitor.com/originals/2024/09/us-iraq-raids-puts-scrutiny-baghdads-ability-contain-isis

In just one week of September, Russia used more than 800 guided aerial bombs, almost 300 Shahed drones, more than 60 missiles of various types against our people, – President Zelenskyy. “Terror can be reliably stopped only in one way: by strikes on Russian military airfields, on their bases, on the logistics of Russian terror. We must achieve this,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. |

Iranian MP talks about transfer of missiles to Russia "We have to barter to meet our needs, including the import of soybeans and wheat. Part of the barter is sending missiles and the other part is sending military drones to Russia," said a member of the parliamentary committee on national security. A member of Iran's parliament admitted that Russia has received Iranian ballistic missiles to use in attacks on Ukraine. When asked about potential sanctions for sending missiles to Russia, he responded, "It can't get worse. We provide missiles to Hezbollah, Hamas, and Hashd al-Shaabi, so why not to Russia?" https://didbaniran.ir/%D8%A8%D8%AE%D |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fike: No consequences if Israel doesn’t survive? Just an “oh well” from the rest of the world? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By fike: Originally Posted By Capta: Originally Posted By fike: Originally Posted By Capta: Originally Posted By fike: Originally Posted By 4xGM300m: Originally Posted By Jaehaerys: Originally Posted By fike: Originally Posted By Jaehaerys: For me, the question is, what is Iran getting from Russia in exchange for this? The SU35 deal still hasn't happened, after all. Money. Iran bent them over the barrel on Shaheeds ($193k a piece). That makes sense. I suppose Russia is kind of limited in terms of material support it could provide Iran at the moment. I imagine something similar is probably at play with North Korea, in terms of money and trade. Technology transfers are also probably involved. Maybe some nuke tech too. Possibly, but highly unlikely. The juice (missiles) isn’t worth the squeeze (all of the equations would change). That’s what Russia wants. Israel is the west’s pain point. A regional war that goes hot, or even nuclear, isn’t a problem for Russia but is for the west. Also don’t discount historical Russian anti-semitism rearing its ugly head in actual foreign policy decisions. Ehh, you are going to have a hard time convincing me that Russia wouldn’t have a problem with Iran nuking Israel if they helped them with the process. They would want to be tied to that for some missiles? If so, they are days away from collapsing and the missiles are the only thing that is going to save them. That’s the cost/benefit level we are talking about. Russia was already (most likely) willing to help HAMAS kill 1300 Israelis, purely to divert western bandwidth from Ukraine. Regional war in the middle east is October 7 on steroids. If they were desperate enough a year ago how much more desperate are they now or a year from now? Take the worst-case scenario, Russia helps Iran build deliverable nukes and Iran uses them on Israel. Does Israel even survive that? Because if they don’t, there are no consequences. If Iran gets off a nuke and then Israel launches a major nuclear retaliation against Iran, do they launch on Russia? Because while Iran might be more or less helpless after the first blow, Russia would erase Israel. So Israel has an incentive not to retaliate against Russia for an Iranian attack that Russia facilitated. And if Iran doesn’t get off a nuke strike (which is the most likely) because Israel destroys their facilities, then we’re looking at a regional missile war plus Iranian proxies. Which again is perfectly agreeable to Russia and even diverts pressure from Assad in Syria. If there’s a downside for Russia in a regional war in the middle east, I don’t know what it is. At least looking at it from their perspective, the upsides outweigh the downsides by a significant degree. No consequences if Israel doesn’t survive? Just an “oh well” from the rest of the world? I think that, for Russia, Israel is an acceptable trade for Russian goals. It is far from the first time that an empire at war facing an existential threat was willing to burn the world down to win. Hell, Kaiser Wilhelm and his "sealed train" facilitated the birth of the USSR and on a personal level the liquidation of a lot of is own blood relatives to preserve the German Empire. History refers to this as the "USSR".

Nor do I think he has any incentive to actually stick with it once another advisor like Tucker Carlson gets his ear. For example one of the so-called “Trump associate proposals” put out the figure “$500 billion in weapons” but when you read the wording, it was $500B if Russia doesn’t agree to a cease fire in place. Which is exactly what Russia wants. Essentially all the parts of that plan were nice-sounding nonsense that were all made meaningless by “we demand cease fire in place.” Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: Originally Posted By AlmightyTallest: Originally Posted By Capta: Originally Posted By ITCHY-FINGER: Originally Posted By planemaker: Russia doesn't have 4 years to end this war. Either the war will end long before then or Russia will end long before then. Sarcasm. Responding to Capta who believes Russia is all in for Trump...Honestly, if I were serving in the Russian army, I'd vote for Trump if I could just to get it over with either through negotiated peace to a flood of US weapons to end my suffering. Has Trump proposed increasing weapons supply? https://www.kyivpost.com/post/34832 Two key advisers to Donald Trump have put forward a plan to end Russia’s war in Ukraine if he wins the presidential election, according to a Reuters report. The plan involves telling Ukraine that it will only receive more US weapons if it enters peace talks with Russia. At the same time, the US would warn Moscow that refusing to negotiate would result in increased US support for Ukraine, said retired Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, one of Trump's national security advisers, in an interview. Since Putin probably isn't going to go for the peace talks, and Ukraine already said they would I think it ends up Ukraine gets more assistance to push out Russia. They have presented this strategy to Trump, who responded positively, according to Fleitz. “I’m not claiming he agreed with it or agreed with every word of it, but we were pleased with the feedback we received,” he said. However, Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said that only statements made by Trump himself or authorized members of his campaign should be considered official. The strategy proposed by Kellogg and Fleitz is the most detailed plan suggested by associates of Trump, who has previously claimed he could quickly end the war in Ukraine if elected without providing any specifics. Yeah I read about that but that isn’t the same as a proposal from Trump. Nor do I think he has any incentive to actually stick with it once another advisor like Tucker Carlson gets his ear. For example one of the so-called “Trump associate proposals” put out the figure “$500 billion in weapons” but when you read the wording, it was $500B if Russia doesn’t agree to a cease fire in place. Which is exactly what Russia wants. Essentially all the parts of that plan were nice-sounding nonsense that were all made meaningless by “we demand cease fire in place.” I do agree with you on that, because that article is the only information we have at this time about any proposal that Trump might do. So far he is very unclear of what his plan is as of yet but I keep looking to see what he thinks would work regarding Ukraine. |

He will ask Z and Putin what it will take to end the war and negotiate a hard deal. I don't think it will work and then the big question is what will Trump do when one or both sides refuse his offer. If I'm not mistaken, Zelensky was pretty positive after a private meeting with Trump. He was, as well as Boris Johnson speaking with trump about continuing support of Ukraine. |

Currently, the authorities, including the State Police, are investigating the circumstances of the incident, but preliminary data indicate that it is a military UAV of the Russian Federation, and, according to the information available to the National Armed Forces, it flew into our airspace from Belarus." "In view of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Latvia is stepping up the protection of its land borders, airspace and territorial waters, and the National Armed Forces are reinforcing their air defence capabilities on the eastern border. In addition, NATO allies ensure air patrolling mission over the Baltic States on a rotational basis," the Ministry added. ETA2 — President of Latvia says

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By HIPPO: belgorod is a big-time military city; 3 quick vids Since yesterday morning, it has been pretty relentless. Governor TG 1007ET The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to strike our region. According to preliminary information, there were no casualties. In the city of Shebekino, a truck parked on the territory of a manufacturing enterprise was damaged as a result of a drone attack. In addition, in the Shebekinsky urban district, a fire occurred in the forest floor, and the Ministry of Emergency Situations eliminated all sources of fire. In the Prokhorovsky district near the village of Priznaznoye, during field work, a tractor ran over ammunition. As a result of the explosion, the tires on one wheel were damaged. In the village of Logachevka, Valuysky urban district, a private house was damaged as a result of the arrival of a shell. In the village of Dronovka, Grayvoronsky urban district, as a result of explosive devices dropped from a UAV, the roof of one private house was broken, windows were broken, a fence was cut, outbuildings were cut, and a summer kitchen was destroyed. As a result of an attack by another kamikaze drone on the territory of a private household, outbuildings and a fence were damaged. Information about the consequences is being clarified. https://t.me/vvgladkov/9691 1339ET The Shebekinsky urban district again came under attack from the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In the city of Shebekino, three civilians were wounded as a result of shelling. A woman in serious condition with shrapnel wounds to the back and thigh and a man with a shrapnel wound to the chest were taken by ambulance to the regional clinical hospital. The third victim with a shrapnel wound to the thigh was taken by self-defense fighters to the Shebekinsky Central District Hospital. After first aid was provided, he was transferred to city hospital No. 2. Belgorod for further treatment. The victims are provided with all necessary assistance. As a result of shell hits, two private houses and four outbuildings caught fire. Emergency Situations Ministry employees together with self-defense fighters extinguished the fire. In addition, as a result of attacks by 2 drones, the roofs and facades of two private houses were damaged. In the village of Polyana, due to a drone attack, the roof of one of the buildings of an agricultural enterprise was broken. Information about the consequences is being clarified. Operational services are working on the ground. https://t.me/vvgladkov/9692 (Unrelated but interesting contextual note) Since the spring of this year, we have been working to equip border residents with additional means to fight fire. Enemy drones attack and set fire to houses, cars, administrative buildings, social facilities and churches. And the firefighting equipment that arrives at the scene of the fire immediately becomes the next target for the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ drones. Both decisions - distributing fire extinguishers to homes, and then equipping border municipalities with mobile fire extinguishing units - were suggested by the residents of border villages and hamlets themselves. The station is easy to use. It is a trailer with a water tank and a pump, equipped with everything necessary to fight fire: fire hoses, replenishment of water, entrenching tools (shovel, crowbar), special clothing, and a first aid kit. It can be transported to the emergency site using a car or tractor. People say that if the fire is small, then it can be localized on its own. I myself have witnessed this many times. The heads of border districts and villages confirm: when there are fire extinguishing equipment in houses, and a mobile fire station in a populated area, it is possible to really prevent a big disaster. And in difficult moments, those who are nearby - self-defense, neighbors, heads, builders - are all ready to help. Our Belgorod region now rests on such people and mutual assistance. We will continue to work to provide residents with the means to fight fire in the border areas. To date, 61 mobile fire extinguishing installations and about 4,500 fire extinguishers have been transferred to Belgorod, Krasnoyaruzhsky, Volokonovsky and Borisovsky districts, Shebekinsky, Grayvoronsky and Valuysky urban districts. https://t.me/vvgladkov/9697 2212ET The entire territory of the Belgorod region is a MISSILE DANGER.

But quantity is a quality all its own.
- Because we were brought 10 shells from 6 different places. The powder weight distribution is different for everyone. Each shell has its own shot calculation." |

From a U.S. black project from 1970 I posted a few days ago. Drone footage of it using guided weapons to hit targets. Man I wonder where we are today with this.

South Korea, Japan ‘ready to stop North Korea hiding behind Russia’
Japanese leader Fumio Kishida held his final summit with the South Korean President on Friday before stepping down. By Taejun Kang for RFA 2024.09.06 Taipei, Taiwan Leaders of South Korea and Japan said they would maintain their readiness to stop North Korea hiding behind Russia in its provocative acts, Kim Tae-hyo, South Korea’s deputy national security adviser, said on Friday. Kim was speaking after South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida met for talks in Seoul that included ways to deepen cooperation, even as Kishida prepares to step down at the end of the month. Kishida arrived for a two-day visit and talks with Yoon, their 12th summit in about two years. It was their last summit, as Kishida will not seek reelection as prime minister and leader of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party after three years in the job. During the summit, Kishida called for peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula through a “unification doctrine” that Yoon announced last month, which focuses on expanding North Koreans’ access to external information and proposes establishing an official dialogue channel between the two Koreas to discuss various issues. Yoon, in his opening remarks at Friday’s summit, said it was important to maintain the positive momentum in relations with Japan. He added that the two countries have a chance to raise their relations to another level when they mark next year’s 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties and that working with Kishida on improving relations was the most meaningful development since he became president. Relations between the two U.S. allies have been fraught for years because of South Korea resentment of Japan’s behavior during its occupation of Korea before and during World War II. But Yoon and Kishida have been able to build a close relationship as a result of Yoon’s decision last year to resolve a long-standing dispute regarding Japan’s wartime mobilization of Koreans for forced labor by compensating victims without contributions from Japanese firms. The two leaders have since resumed a “shuttle diplomacy” of holding meetings on the fringes of international conferences and visiting each other as needed. Their restored relations have also substantially enhanced trilateral security cooperation with the United States, as all three of the allies warily watch North Korea’s development of nuclear weapons and the missiles to carry them. South Korea has been trying to bolster cooperation with regional partners in response to deepening military ties between North Korea and Russia. On Wednesday, Yoon met New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon. They condemned North Korea’s nuclear weapons development and its military cooperation with Russia, including the North’s export of ballistic missiles to Russia in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. Yoon and Luxon denounced Russia’s war against Ukraine, while pledging to support Ukrainian sovereignty and its efforts to secure a just and lasting peace, according to a joint statement.

Wow.
Pro-Russian sources obviously, and the stated prognosis is questionable. But still pretty amazing. In the Ugledar direction, our “Loaf” with three BARS-23 soldiers ran into a TM-62M anti-tank mine. The machine shattered into atoms, but protected people. The soldiers remained alive and were able to return to their people, and are now back in service. Far East https://t.me/divgen/54186

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Capta: No consequences *for Russia.* They’ve already gone all in on “fuck you we’re barbarians and we’ll nuke the world if we don’t get our way!” Everyone knows that WW3 in Europe is around the corner. It’s objectively beneficial to them. Why would they care about anyone’s opinion? Even if they do, there will still be nations than don’t GAF and will buy cheap Russian oil. Not to mention that the most likely outcome is Israel attacks Iran first and wipes out their nuclear facilities, resulting in a regional missile/proxy war, again much to Russia’s benefit with limited to no downsides as they see it. I do not think Russia is at this point yet: saying fuck it just to watch the world burn. But they do seem to be on the way. I think/hope something intervenes before they and subsequently the rest of the world, get to that point. I'm just not sure what that intervention looks like. Maybe Trump? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By voyager3: The more likely Israel is to be wiped off the map, the more likely they will take everyone responsible with them. They might not be able to glass the whole Russia but the flight time from Tel-Aviv to Moscow is 5h in a commercial airliner. All the Russian leadership class must be made to understand that wherever they go to hide that place will burn and glow white. Who would be more likely to fulfill that promise from the USA side? Trump or Kamala? Putin et al has to be made to believe! *standing by for some Russian sources from Capta claiming Trump is weak on Israel and Iran... |
