Your comment just gave me a thought. For centuries, assassinating fellow heads of state was frowned upon, partly because most of them were related and partly because no one wanted other nations to return the favor.

But now, western “leadership“ are all just figureheads, not really in control of anything. So those actually calling the shots in the West no longer worry about reciprocity, because mindless puppets are a dime a dozen.

It is also very British. The Brits still have not got over the idea they can win this war with trickery and illusion, which is how they think they (brave little GB) won WWII (airbrushing out not just US money and materiel but the entire Russian contribution). That lie has taken the UK a long way down the rabbit hole, but it looks like the light at the end of this tunnel it still claims it can glimpse, is not going to be the light of a new western dawn- but the lights of the oncoming Russian juggernaut.

Due to cultural-strategic reasons, ossified minds and corruption the Russian Military wasn't were it should have been with drone warfare, both attack and defense.

Thanks for the update. Wouldn't Iranian integration of advanced Russian AD take quite some time, like at a minimum several weeks or months (in perfect conditions)? And wouldn't the Israelis - never shy - seek to immediately target these assets before they become operational? I mean, I would. The Iranian options rest on capability - if things turn hot they need to be able to actually down IAF aircraft, otherwise the myth of air invincibility of US/IAF will remain, and they will strike with impunity. The Israelis are fortunate that entire countries keep the Iranians off their borders because in a land conflict I would bet my money on the Iranians. But, in a standoff situation where they are 1000km apart? I am not so sure; it will be a balance of 1) who can launch more strikes that actually hit things (advantage: Israel) and 2) who can intercept or interdict more (advantage: Israel).

My sense is the Iranians do not have the capability to actually do anything. If they're smart they will hold off, get their AD in shape, and develop other capabilities to put them on par at least i.e. nukes for example.

Danf's avatar

Perhaps in the end demographics is destiny. But on the other hand, there are not really 200 million arabs immediately on Israels border. And for centuries smaller numbers of well organized, equipped an disciplined armies have held larger populations at bay.

Also remember most of Israels bitterest enemies are not arabs. Iran is Persian. Egypt was occupied by Arabs, as well as Greeks, Romans and others. Syria, Lebanon, Jordon, Turkey are all vast ethnic mixtures. For 150 years thousands of Slavs were kidnapped as youths and imported into the area every year to serve as slave soldiers (Mamluks, Janisaries)and fill posts in the different imperial administrations.

The deep Jew Hatred in the former Ottoman empire today is a relatively recent invention of the last 100 years. For example, when the Jews were expelled from Spain the Ottomans actively welcomed them to settle in their lands to benefit from their enterprise, financial and commercial skills.

I suspect the majority of people in the countries surrounding Israel would be just as happy to pursue peace and prosperity and Jewish extermination. Jew hatred serves diverse purposes

If they want nukes they already have them and have had them for a long time. They've been technically and materially capable since at least 2002. There is the whole Fatwah thing, but I am not convinced. I believe they have a few dozen nukes already.

The Iranians build AD similar to what they are getting from the Russians and have fairly competent domestic operators. It would still take a few weeks for them to be operational and integrated. Wouldn't surprise me if Russian operators were involved.

In a stand-off situation Isreal has an advantage, but it Iran could deal plenty of damage. The real risk for Iran is American intervention.

Strategically Iran should be in no hurry to respond, but maybe there is some internal pressure to do so?

Iranians have tens of thousands of missiles with both the range and accuracy to strike any target in Israel they want. You have obviously been overlooking Iranian advances in missile and drone technology over the last few decades. They match or exceed anything the West can throw at them. Plus, the Iranians can hit several major US military installations and warships in the area. Plus, the Iranians can block the Strait of Hormuz at any time, inflicting immediate economic damage on the West.

Also, a coordinated attack on Israel and the US forces in the region by Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis and Iraqi militias will completely overwhelm the so-called Iron Dome and any air defences thrown at them by the US and Jordan and Saudi Arabia (IF the Saudis decide to participate). Between Hezbollah and Iran, they have enough missile and drone power between them to throw wave after wave of cheap kamikaze drones to overwhelm air defences and subsequently send in their missiles to obliterate Israeli military and infrastructure targets. They proved they could do this when Iran first attacked Israel. And there is little the US would probably be able to do about it as they know the Iranian potential to hurt their assets in the region and will not want to place those assets in harm's way - even for the Israelis. Both the US and the Israelis much prefer to fight people who lack the means to fight back effectively. That is why neither of them have attacked Iran to date.

It's not clear what actual capability Iran has. For whatever reason, they rely on proxy forces. Iran is a poor country with vulnerable infrastructure and it's own serious internal divisions.

No doubt Iran can damage Israel, but likewise there is no doubt Israel and/or the US can damage Iran.

What I find most interesting is the example in Yemen. The US has been bombing in Yemen for 6 months accomplishing nothing. The Houthis send 1 drone at Israel and within a week Yemens oil transfer facilities and storage are in flames, very pointedly right across the harbor from their grain import terminal that stands between eating and starvation for much of the population. That says nothing about water works, electricity generation etc....

To help out their current offensive- The Ukrainains can rely on their F16s as per Bloomberg

This one’s for Andy Dean, a caller from Constanta

There are problems

‘It’s not clear whether Ukrainian pilots, who have trained with their western allies over the past months, will be able to immediately use the warplanes or the process will take longer, the people said.’

But Official Optimism is still the order -

‘Jake Sullivan, Biden’s top national security adviser, has said the F-16s are expected to defend front-line forces in the short term and help retake territory “down the road.”’

Yet- That came alongside intense debate as to whether F-16s would give Ukraine any decisive advantage. Veteran pilots told Bloomberg last May that the jets wouldn’t be the game changer Ukraine claims.

But- They still love their F16- because it’s money for nothing & the chicks for free: See the pics of Z, VdL and KK inside one

Look I'm not saying you should try it, this sort of diplomacy is not for anyone but the most accomplished - where you are are there any spare F16s hanging around?

But maybe it's worth thinking about.....

I'll ask Andy, maybe he knows

There is no way the F16s will be used that close to Russia, they will be blown out of the sky by Russian AA systems and Russian planes with long range air to air missiles.

Russia now has a golden opportunity to crush decisively AFU's Assault. Spare them no quarter. The order must be given to counter-attack now and fully decimate the enemy with sufficient force to destroy incoming AFU forces, hit their supply lines hard, blow up every mechanized vehicle in sight and not let up until they are soundly defeated. It's time for Russia to lay the hammer down, break enemy morale and send a clear message that Russian forces rule over the theatre of conflict. A decisive Russian victory would break AFU morale that resistance is futile. Turn this AFU assault into a resounding defeat and leave Zelensky nothing but bad news and outcomes giving him absolutely nothing to brag about. Will Russia seize the moment? I don't know. But they should.

Russia should have done this from the outset. A lot fewer people would have died if they had been decisive.

Possibly they were simply not ready for the required scale of conflict needed for a quick win.

Possible, but indicates a lack of planning on Russia's part, especially as it was no secret that NATO and Ukraine were planning for war.

Thank you for this battlefield analysis.

I know nothing about military strategy, but it's obvious from looking at a map that the Kursk border region is almost entirely open agricultural fields. It truly does seem like a really stupid place to try and attack. Also, one should remember that the SMO doesn't include Kursk, so that area is staffed by both "regular" MOD troops as well as conscripts/mandatory service soldiers, so there are plenty of folks on hand without taking from SMO forces.

As for the rest, I read Nasrullah's statement yesterday - looks like Iran is coordinated a three-prong attack (from Iran, Lebanon and Yemen) while also bleeding Israel dry just by making them wait. Not only is it rattling the Israeli populace psychologically, but the northern third of the country is not going to work or school, effectively taking them "offline." And let's not forget that their economy is crashing due to this war, including from a huge decline in tourism and foreign workers leaving.

Honestly, I know a lot of people online are hopping up and down with excitement for the prospect of a full-on attack, but both Iran and Russia's patience is actually the smarter move right now as both Israel and USA are cracking up on their own.

That being said, I'm about tired of these "gentleman's agreements" and spook collabs and secret prisoner swap deals, to say nothing of the "Texas" Bentley cover-up (they still haven't released his body???), and widespread corruption and stupidity in the Russian MoD.

This "war" is increasingly looking like two retards having a fist-fight in a Jell-o filled pool, with only the insane bravery of Russian soldiers on one side and the tsunami of Western money and equipment to the other side keeping this farce going as long as it has. It's beyond ridiculous at this point.

PS - the SBU isn't just tricking people into getting into big groups before trying to cross the border, they're also stealing the bribe money. These devils never do anything without getting their cut.

Or you can picture blood mixed with chitosan. We use it as a hemostatic (especially for open wounds). The result looks like red jello.

Thought I should add something here about the border since I live 2km from Ukraine. Getting across to PMR is easy as there are no water barriers, treacherous mountains. or fences. In fact, I think I accidentally crossed the border once without even knowing it when I took my dog to the vet in Slobozia because it's literally just a line on a map, and the line is quite jagged and nonsensical and runs through open fields.

The difficult bit is getting anywhere CLOSE to the border from the Ukraine side, as all roads to border-adjacent villages are monitored and access blocked to people who aren't residents or don't have official permission to enter. What these smugglers are doing is getting a driver who DOES have permission to be there to drive a vehicle laden with people hidden inside/the back. The "catch" of course is that the operation often is an SBU sting.

My heart really goes out to these poor people.

My thought exactly. This war is becoming senseless. I know people blame the U.S. for continuing it but I blame Zelensky.

If he knows what’s good for him he will cut a deal with the Russians, handover whatever will help Russia end this painlessly/quickly, and surrender - if he wants to increase his chances of survival.

Zelenski has the same options as the mustache man in 1945. Only difference is the Nazis were loyal to the moustache man until the end, Zelenski not so much. Zelenski for Russian's is the modern day proverbial moustache man. Do you think Stalin and the Soviet leadership would have been merciful in 1945, do you think the Russian leadership will be merciful today?

Why would Zelenskii do that, and lose all that sweet western cash and have his assets and villas confiscated?

You may recall that Zelenskii and his sponsor I.V. Kolomoiskii were prominently named in The Paradise Papers. This was likely western intelligence telling Zelenskii to stop dawdling and get on with it.
