#Russian army after war may be stronger than it is today – NATO top general

At the end of the war in Ukraine, whatever it looks like, the Russian army will be stronger than it is today

"The Russian armed forces are learning, they are improving, they are applying the experience gained at war," Cavoli said.

He called on NATO to quickly prepare for this threat, because Russia will be an enemy with serious military potential and "clear intentions".

New defence plans, as well as the increased obligations for individual #NATO members that result from them, should be implemented fast.

"When I say fast, I mean we have to be faster than the Russians," the general said.

Lithuania blocks and fortifies bridge to Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave

Kasciunas said other #bridges leading to #Kaliningrad would also be fortified, and some may even be #mined.

#Russia's full-scale #invasion of #Ukraine exacerbated fears of a potential open conflict between Moscow and NATO, and #Lithuania, bordering Russia's ally #Belarus and Kaliningrad, would be one of the first countries threatened by such a clash.

Kaliningrad Oblast is a small but heavily armed territory lodged between the Baltic Sea and NATO members Poland, and Lithuania. Russia's Baltic Sea Fleet has its headquarters and main base located there.

Eyewitnesses to Al-Akhbar: “The helicopters continue to arrive at the outskirts of Yaroun and Maroun al-Ras to evacuate the dead and wounded of the enemy soldiers who fell into the ambush of the resistance while trying to enter Lebanese territory from the settlement of Avivim”

Unconfirmed reports say that the number of dead and injured are the highest in any recent fighting and close to 80 special forces troops were killed or injured during the massive explosion and small arm attacks from close range.

Grand remplacement

D’ici 2070, nous aurons englouti 50% des habitats d’animaux sauvages

Alors que la population humaine mondiale dépasse les 8 milliards de personnes et occupe plus de 70 % de la surface terrestre, les animaux sauvages peinent à y trouver leur place. Selon une nouvelle étude parue dans SciencesAdvisor en août dernier, le partage contraint d’espaces entre humains et faune sauvage entrainerait un risque accru de pandémies, de conflits inter-espèces et de perte de la biodiversité à l’avenir.

#Israel beginnt "lokal begrenzten" Bodeneinsatz <- das ist doch #Neusprech für #Krieg, denn so ein Einsatz ist immer lokal begrenzt auf den Boden, den man gerade besetzt 🤔

Berichtet die #Tagesschau: https://www.tagesschau.de/ausland/asien/israel-bodeneinsatz-libanon-100.html

#Russland führt übrigens einen "lokal begrenzten" Bodeneinsatz in der Ost-Ukraine durch. Immerhin hat die Tagesschau es in Anführungszeichen gesetzt aber ich finde es nicht gut wenn die das Neusprech aus der israelischen #Pressemeldung übernehmen. Da wäre mir mehr journalistische #Neutralität lieber.

Damit kein falscher Eindruck entsteht: Israel reagiert auf einen Angriff und ist wahrscheinlich berechtigt nach dem Völkerrecht, diese #Invasion zu starten. Ich finde aber dennoch, dass man einen kriegerischen Akt auch als Krieg bezeichnen sollte und nicht um den heißen Brei herumreden sollte sonst ist am Ende alles eine begrenzte Spezialmission nach russischem Vorbild.

'Would you blame Hungarians for Soviet invasion?' - Von der Leyen criticizes those who 'muddy the waters' on Ukraine

"They blame the war not on the invader but on the #invaded. Not on (Vladimir) Putin's lust for power, but on Ukraine's thirst for freedom," von der Leyen said at the Globsec conference in Prague, attended by the Kyiv Independent.

"So I want to ask them: would you ever blame the Hungarians for the Soviet #invasion of 1956? Would you ever blame the Czechs for the #Soviet oppression of 1968?"

"The #Kremlin's behavior was #evil and atrocious back then, and it is evil and atrocious today," the #EU official said.

Von der Leyen also criticized Europe's pre-2022 "illusion" that greater economic integration with Russia would lead to more stability.

Israel's foreign minister says 'we are very close' to 'changing the rules of the game' and that in a 'total war' Hezbollah will 'be destroyed' and Lebanon will 'be hit hard'

Dude, you can't destroy tiny Hamas while having them surrounded from land air and sea, how the hell are you going to deal with Hezbollah who is significantly stronger, better armed and already kicked your aaa twice in the past?

Israel is up for a rude awakening of they are stupid enough to invade Lebanon. Unless US and UK come to their rescue, they face casualties and losses like never before.

Of course they can destroyed Lebanon, because the country is unable to buy air defense or having an airforce, but on the ground, war weary demoralized Israeli military can't win against a group who has been training for this since the last invasion and have already destroyed many of multi million dollar radar and air defense systems of Israel.

I don't want to see a war breaking out between these 2 and have no love for Hezbollah or their allies. But as a defence force, they have all the rights to stand up and fight back agains this out of control rogue nation of mad men.

Israel's unmanned vehicles, for patrol and VIEDs

The Israeli army's remote-controlled M113 "Zelda" was spotted on Zaruub Hill in Rafah. One like this was seen a few days ago already in Jabaliya, and once before that in February.

Some of them are rigged to explode on impact, used as suicide vehicles, without a man in the vehicle.

According to an IDF commander familiar with this type of weapon, the army has used them since the start of the war.

PS. These are no longer small robots with a rifle or rocket launcher and camera, these are almost full size armored vehicles armed to the teeth to attack Palestinians with minimum risk for IDF soldiers.

As all eyes are on the genocide in #Gaza, #Haiti is undergoing a full scale foreign military #invasion. As of May 16th, thirty large transport planes have landed at Toussaint Louverture International Airport, unloading 835 tons of cargo and military equipment and bringing military personnel and contractors. At least one hundred more aircraft, some from the #US Air Force, others leased by the US State Department, are expected to arrive in the coming days. Sections of Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince are “now the outpost of an international military contingent.”

#Latvia starts digging anti-tank ditch near border with Russia

Russia's #invasion of #Ukraine has sparked concerns that the Baltic states, which are among Moscow's biggest critics and Kyiv's staunchest allies since day one of the all-out war, could become the next target of Russia's aggression.

These fears are reinforced by Russian President Vladimir Putin's repeated threats to #NATO countries.

A chain of strongholds will be set up along Latvia's border with Russia and Belarus, including defensive #fortifications, various obstacles, and ammunition depots, according to LSM.

#Waffenstillstand war nicht kurz vorm Abschluss

Stand: 30.04.2024 12:50 Uhr

Immer wieder wird behauptet, dass #Russland und die Ukraine bereits kurz nach der russischen #Invasion einen Waffenstillstand ausgehandelt hätten. Gespräche darüber gab es tatsächlich - jedoch keine Einigung.

https://www.tagesschau.de/faktenfinder/waffenstillstand-russland-ukraine-100.html

"Zum einen forderte die russische Delegation, dass im Angriffsfall alle Garantiestaaten zur Aktivierung des Beistandsmechanismus zustimmen müssen - somit auch Russland selbst. Russland hätte dadurch diese Beistandsklausel verhindern können, wodurch die Ukraine quasi machtlos gewesen wäre bei einem Angriff. "Bei einem russischen Angriff hätte Russland dann die Sicherheitsgarantien ablehnen können, das ist natürlich Quatsch", so Lange."

Taipei replica in remote Chinese province fans Taiwan invasion fears

The satellite images show a detailed replica of the heart of Taipei – albeit surrounded by the arid landscape of Inner Mongolia instead of Taiwan’s lush vegetation.

First posted on social media by a Taiwanese data analyst, on March 26, they were later picked up by the website Taiwan News, under the ominous headline: “China creates Taipei mockup to train for invasion”.

FRANCE 24 was able to verify the existence of the mockup, located some 1,200 kilometres west of Beijing.

This is an image that should cover the front page of most magazines and news papers.

The amazing strength and bravery of women of Gaza who are showing the world how love and humanity looks like.

This is not going to be published, no one will dare humanizing the victims of the genocidal regime of Israel. Much less a Palestinian woman wearing Hijab.
