    residents of Moscow are whining about shutdowns of mobile internet in the city.

    The rest of the country is less than sympathetic, since these rollouts have been ongoing for the past 4-6 months already.

    It seems the regime will survive


    It was going to survive no matter what. The sheer amount of hubris involved in the USA and Israel thinking they would have any affect in the Iran regime is wild to me...the country is mountainous, so to get in you need to drop in, and then you have no supply lines (for food, ammo ect.) and are relegated to air drops, which Afghanistan proved to the soviets can be shot down b a single guy with a rocket launcher, you can't bring in much military tech like tanks cause tanks and mountains don't go together. 90 million people you would need to feasibly subdue (which math dictates requires double-triple that amount of forces to manage)...so the BEST they could ever hope for was an air campaign...but then of course they don't WANT to flatten it as they lose the resources and the oil if they do that.

    This is the reason why the USA has ALWAYS told Israel no when they wanted the US to go into Iran... and why saner heads have always prevailed till now. Iran is a fortress and the amount of soldiers you'd have to spend to take it FAR outweighs its value to take.

    But then Trump the moron got into power and Netanyahu saw his chance....and with Hegseth and his PlayStation 2 war naming strategy (Operation Epstein Fury) with no goals...you have this...


    I mean, with better timing that actually coincided, with the, y'know, multi-million anti-regime protests, there's a sliver of a possibility of achieving something. Still slim, b/c we didn't exactly see an organized backbone to the protests that would be able to position itself as an alternative decision-making centre, but before the regime started mowing people down with machine gun fire by the thousands, you could maybe, potentially see a way to amplify the internal disruptions, and channel them towards a positive regime change.

    But obviously what the toddler-in-chief chose to do is the exact opposite of that. Leading to the predictable entrenchment.

    multiple missile strikes on Kremniy (silicon) El factory in Bryans'k. It makes semiconductor components for missiles.

    *supposedly* it were Storm Shadows. One workshop got hit hard, including an accounting department, with multiple casualties.

    Syrsky claims that "almost all of Dnipropetrovs'k Oblast' has been liberated in the latest push". While nice, most likely not 100% accurate, b/c in most cases, "liberated" territory actually just becomes "grey", without actual firm control.

    The orcs continue their incursions along the border in Sumy oblast, trying to set up their "buffer zone". No incursions are deeper than 2-3 km from the border, but they're putting in efforts to shore up control, which has potential to become concerning.

    Z-heads also whine about an upcoming UA offensive in late spring. I choose to remain skeptical for now.

    Iran can’t mine the strait, any ship or shore operation they attempt will be bombed within the hour. Drone strikes are enough deterrent for now I would think and probably cheaper.

    I wonder if this war will finally get the gulf states to get these long imagined pipelines built to remove this vulnerable bottle neck.

    Also I know it’s all about global supply and demand but now that the USA is a net exporter of oil surely the USA would be better off spending a few hundred billion on building the correct oil refineries domestically instead of a 12th aircraft carrier or whatever else to provide real national security improvements? Theoretically the USA should be able to be self sufficient energy wise. Which diringpeace time won’t matter but during war would.


    Air Carriers are SO 2003.

    It's all about the trump-class dreadnoughts these days.

    it would be nice to have less ships potentially lobbing Kalibrs from the sea.

    with all the drone strikes on Crimea, and on the smaller transport crafts, the MoD has upped their ships/boats tally to 31. If they end up taking some ships out, we might soon be able to talk about half of the Blck Sea Fleet being taken out.

    The orcs continue probing around the border in Sumy Oblast, trying to set up observation posts and forward positions cross the border. Nothing big, but they are spreading their "buffer zones" 2-3 km deep from the border, which is concerning.

    Since putler came out and featured in a video talking about how TG is a foreign tool, and using it can put troops in danger, the orcs are cracking down on advertising revenue from TG channels. Which basically means that shutting it down is, in fact, inevitable. We'll have to see how their comms fare without it.

    I hope you won't mind mate, but I copied and posted that "poem" thing you posted on the West Vs Russian interest thread.. You know, the one that starts off about how pathetic Europe is or has become.. Liked it so much that I had to post it. Keep up the good work on reporting about anything new.. Peace out to you friend..
