Securitas

It seems the velvet gloves are coming off, at least in some cases, when dealing with Russia’s shadow fleet in the Baltic Sea.
Here’s one of them 🇸🇪👊

Russia is providing data that helps Iran target your troops. In response, you want to lift sanctions on Russia.

Russia has provided Iran with information that can help Tehran strike US military, AP sources say Russia has provided Iran with information that could help Tehran strike American warships, aircraft and other assets in the region.

BREAKING: Russia has provided Iran with information that can help Tehran strike the U.S. military, AP sources say.

Iranian strategy to raise the costs of this war for the US and its allies in the Gulf and in Europe seems to be working.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Trump has put himself in a corner. 🇮🇷 leadership will not bend the knee due to bombing, and everyone knows there won't be boots on the ground.

He might try to escalate the cruelty in order to apply pressure. But he's unlikely to win, at massive costs.

Trump isn't abt low cost, he's low commitment.

Exclusive: US investigation points to likely US responsibility in Iran school strike, sources say Military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school that killed scores of children on Saturday, two U.S. officials told Reu...

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

‚What emerges is…the “strike-as-strategy” paradox: the substitution of impressive tactical actions for comprehensive strategic design. Under Trump, this tendency is reinforced by a political culture that demands televised displays of military prowess.
…

These statistics literally mean fuck all because they are measuring efficiency, not effectiveness

Probably first major US loss of the conflict when it comes to ballistic missile defense. One of TPY-2 radars belonging to the THAAD battery deployed to Muwaffaq Salti Airbase in Jordan seems to have been struck. The full radar set goes over $200M.

"The U.S. is being run by
gung-ho nutters like Trump and Hegseth."…….

Former NATO commander and British General Sir Richard Shirreff delivers a stark warning for Britain to avoid being dragged into America's illegal war on Iran.

Die ungarische Regierung scheint im Wahlkampf ukrainische Gefangene zu nehmen. Nicht sonderlich verwunderlich, ist aber schon krass.

Last night the official White House X account posted a video mixing US pop culture (Gladiator, Transformers, John Wick, Brave heart, Marvel) with video games (Halo) and Hesgeth's war speech and real footage of blowing up Iranian vessels and facilities. All civil taboos are being broken.

Finland to allow import of nuclear weapons After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine four years ago, Finland joined NATO and has been accelerating and revamping its defense plans.

A move pretty certainly linked to the French-led efforts of an increased European nuclear deterrence

⚡️ Zelenskyy: More Patriot missiles were fired in the Middle East in three days than Ukraine’s entire supply.

Special military operation.

Haven't seen something more emotionally satisfying than that for a long time. I hope to god Ukraine ensures itself getting paid gram-for-gram in gold.

Longstanding ethical and theological debates over war, the appropriate use of violence, and various approaches to justice notwithstanding:

That's not how human rights work.

Iran War Update 2 Events from the last 24 hours

Where we are now.

It is now standard to wage war without declaring war. We are losing a lot of boundaries and rules that were developed through many wars and millions of dead.

Leider ja.

Ja, praktisch wahrscheinlich korrekt. Mir ging es primär auch nur um den Punkt des Benennens der Gefahr.

Finde "blöd" als normativen Begriff nicht so gut. Da verpasst man schnell mal die reale Gefahr. Ein Lehrer, der bewusst seine Schüler an eine gesichert rechtsextreme Partei heranführt, sollte nicht im Dienst sein.

Schützenhilfe.

Glaube nicht, dass es sich hier um Blödheit handelt.
