  1. On March 29, The Washington Post reported that DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy company, observed that recent Russian missile strikes have been more accurate and concentrated, resulting in greater damage to Ukrainian energy facilities compared to previous attacks. This escalation in the precision and impact of attacks underscores a significant increase in the challenges faced by Ukraine in protecting its critical infrastructure. Ukraine's recent failure to intercept Russian missiles targeting its energy facilities has raised significant concerns and speculation about the underlying reasons. Two primary explanations can address this issue. - TFIGlobal

  2. Apr 16, 2024 - Far from a series of diplomatic blunders, the escalating tensions in the Middle East are part of a long-standing US policy of baiting Iran into open war in pursuit of containment and regime change; - As the US has used conflict to reassert itself over Europe, it is seeking to engulf the Middle East in conflict to once again reassert itself there; - While the US attempts to create plausible deniability regarding repeated Israel provocations, it is the US ultimately enabling Israeli aggression; - Claims that Washington seeks to avoid escalation contradict US attempts to block accountability for Israel in the UN Security Council; - Iran has clearly walked into a trap, what remains to be seen is if it was fully prepared to do so, or if it has gravely miscalculated; - The New Atlas

  3. A suspect has been arrested in connection with last week’s attempted assassination of a former Ukrainian secret police agent in Moscow, Russian security agency, the FSB, reported on Tuesday. A car reportedly owned by Vasily Prozorov, who previously served in the Ukrainian successor to the soviet KGB, the SBU, was blown up in Moscow last Friday. The driver survived the assassination attempt. The suspect is a Russian national in his early 40s, who was allegedly acting on behalf of the SBU’s current leadership. His handler is a direct subordinate of the agency’s head, Vasily Malyuk, the FSB claimed. The Russian agency alleges that the man was recruited in Ukraine last October and returned to Russia in March. He stands accused of personally assembling the radio-triggered improvised explosive device and planting it under the car. -RT

  4. GERMAN CHANCELLOR SCHOLZ LOOKS LIKE HE'S GETTING A SCOLDING FROM CHINESE PREZ - in above pic as he finally gets to meet Xi Jinping after getting a small-time mayor's welcome at his arrival in China. To quickly resolve Ukraine's conflict, attention must be paid to peace and stability, not the pursuit of one’s own interests - Xi Jinping stressed. Only interest egghead pursues is pleasing his U.S. masters, after all, he let Uncle Sam blow up Nord Stream, deindustrialized Germany making millions of his own people and Europeans suffer the consequences. - Intel Republic

  5. ISRAEL PUSHES FOR DIPLOMATIC PUNISHMENT OF IRAN, ABANDONED BY ALLIES - Israeli FM Katz calls on 32 countries to sanction Iran's missile program and declare IRGC terrorist organization - following UK, Europe says SORRY CAN'T DO as EU's Chief Gardener Borrell explains: It can't be done 'cause IRGC never committed a terrorist act. West also warns Tel Aviv to suffer the consequences alone if it decides to attack Tehran again with U.S. officials secretly warning "If you strike back at Iran, you'll do it alone". It's an unusual message for a close ally that's spent decades receiving more U.S. military aid than any other country in the world and whose relationship with America is often described as ironclad - publication sulks. - Intel Republic

  6. Most Western analysts were popping champagne corks today proclaiming Israel’s “massive” victory over Iran’s 14 April combined drone, cruise missile and ballistic missile attack on targets in Israel. I don’t know if they are really this blind to what happened or are willing participants in a psychological operation to persuade Israel that it had a victory and does not need to escalate. Regardless, let’s deal with the facts. Iran’s goal was to demonstrate it could hit Israel if it wanted to but was providing advance warning to give the Israelis time to protect personnel in order to minimize casualties. Iran was not trying to cause mass casualties. Not surprisingly, Biden officials are vehemently denying they had advanced warning according to the Reuters report: Statements from U.S. officials can no longer be accepted as accurate given their established history of lying. This is a “cover-my-ass” denial. Can you imagine the political outrage that would ensue if the Biden team copped to the fact that they had forewarning from Iran? Do you think that the Turkish and Jordanian officials did not communicate to Washington what they had been told? Of course not. Iran’s attack in the early morning hours of Sunday was symbolic retaliation. The mullahs and IRGC commanders put Israel on notice that any further attacks on Iran, especially Iranian territory, will be answered by Iranian attacks on Israel. Iran demonstrated a remarkably sophisticated attack using three different weapon systems — drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. They did not use their most advanced, sophisticated weaponry. Israel used up over 700 Iron Dome missiles in countering Iran’s 300 plus drones. Why? You normally fire two Iron Dome missiles per target to ensure a hit. Ditto for the cruise missiles. What we know for a fact is that most of the ballistic missiles hit their targets in Israel. Here is a video of one of the strikes. Iran demonstrated a remarkably sophisticated capabilitiy — i.e., a maneuverable warhead. Notice that the inbound Iranian missile evades the Israeli interceptor and strikes the target. Wow!! We are now in the wait-and-see mode. There are contradictory signals out of Israel. Some insist Israel’s retaliation is imminent. Others suggest there will be no retaliation. I believe Israel is under the control of some genuine crazies and will try to hit an Iranian oil facility or military installation in Iran. When they do that Iran will make good on its promise and will launch a much larger, more devastating attack on Israeli military and intelligence targets. This is a fight Israel cannot win. If it chooses to pursue this course of action it will lead to the unraveling of its military effort to defeat Hamas and rescue any hostages still alive. - Sonar21

  7. ZELENSKY TEARING HIMSELF APART OUT OF JEALOUSY OF ISRAE, for "protection by NATO countries" despite not being part of military bloc, pitifully asking how come Ukraine not getting helped enough 'cause of drag-NATO-to-war excuse. Zelensky then creates sob-story to beg for more weapons, claiming Tripoli Thermal Power Plant was destroyed by Russia cuz his Nazi army ran out of missiles to protect it with. Ukraine, watching U.S. coalition defend Israel, feels alone - He even moved West's mainstream media to tears. - Intel Republic
