to be a US’ enemy is deadly, a friend fatal and an ally terminally dead …

Comment on Israel is the future of the Middle East by Walid

In reply to Johnny.

They still have good articles. Spengler being a jew cannot be faulted for being a homie to Israel. The problem is that he’s not doing it any favour.

If Israel is no longer in the middle east, it will not rise again, ever. Every country will be wary of its horrible potential for genocide, rape and immorality.

Best route for Jews was to go against Genocide and seek recognition from all neighbours and Muslims. The US and Europe can’t protect it. It’s too exhausting and these countries are in deep decline and losing their military, financial and technological hegemony.

China is winning on the financial and technological front. And militarily with over 1.3 Trillion in military budget got beat by Afghanistan with zero military budget.

Comment on AUKUS AI drones shadowed by China’s tech supremacy by Walid

Seriously…What can AUKUS do? The UK and Australia don’t have any capacity to mount an attack against China. Only the US can…for maybe 3 days at best.
Hopefully the west won’t think that China will not see them coming and fight them immediately. Once the fight starts, AUKUS will realize that they’re under equipped and won’t be able to replace the losses they will incur after half an hour into the fight.

Comment on What’s Ukraine’s endgame in Kursk? by HsinYuan Hu

The NATO/WEST is BLINDED with this incursion/poke into Russia.
Reality will soon sink in: out of the 12,000 incursion force, over 2500 are dead, thousands of NATO-Ukraine-imposter captured and virtually ALL heavy arms destroyed.
Here’s a suggestion : go into WeChat and get some REAL news instead reading BS propaganda.

Comment on Kursk invasion looks like WWII’s Battle of the Bulge by E Jones

You say a key Russian mistake was not destroying Ukraine’s elite brigades, but without air supremacy (and even with – see the Republican Guard in Desert Storm) I’m not sure how Russia could ever have effectively targeted them if they were held off the front lines.

Because Russia certainly hammered them on the frontlines when it got the chance. The Battle of Bakhmut is a good example, where Russia – intentionally or not – drew some of Ukraine’s best brigades into battle, fixed and attritted them, preventing their participation in the 2023 Ukrainian counter offensive.

But the Ukrainians were always going to get the final say in which of their formations fought where, so this comes across as asking Russia to do the impossible.

Will demographics matter as much in the age of AI? What effect will climate change have? Predictions are just that, predictions.

All China has to do to get the Philippines on their side is to pay the current tenant in the Malacanang palace more than Washington does.

The world is waking up to zionist crimes. Once the world’s opinion turned on south Africa, the regime fell and the locals took over. I see this scenario happening now.

Israel has completely delegitimized itself as a state. So far, its genocide in Gaza has killed at least 40,000 people directly and maybe another 200,000 indirectly. That’s 10% of the population. As an Italian academic said to an Israeli scholar “no one is every going to forget or forgive what your country is doing” to Gaza. Tens of thousands of Israeli businesses are closing, thousands of secular Jews are fleeing, leaving the country to religious/racist fanatics, and academics across all fields are find the unofficial academic boycotts of Israel will limit their chances in the future. Israel’s future looks utterly dismal.

The Ultra Orthodox will take over Israel in a few generations. How will this make Israel more modern or stronger? This will make Israel less attractive to allies and neutral countries.

The biggest threat to the State of Israel is Evangelical Christianity in the United States. They are expecting Rapture up to Heaven after Armageddon. Which is as likely as pigs might fly. If the United States gets into a war and loses,—which is the most likely outcome in the South China Sea region,—the usual suspects will likely become the target for retribution.

the world and most specifically the middle east can do with a lot less israel – after all, 70% of israelis support the illegitimate, illegal invasion-occupation of palestinian lands and the genocidal bombing of GAZA, killing 14,000+ kids and babies alone …

1. Heads need to roll in the Russian intelligence apparatus.
2. Ukraine’s forces in that salient will be in real trouble if they decide to stay and hold. They risk being trapped in a cauldron.
