Israel, US Strike Iran After Weeks Of Warning, Explosions Heard In Tehran

That you know of. Don't forget there was no alternative government in Libya either, and any movement would have massive CAS support. It's questionable whether there's a government at the moment.

Have you checked the population of Libya ? It's barely 7 million as of 2024 . It should've been slightly more in 2011 when the Gaddafi regime was deposed.

Have you checked for their population centers Paddy ? It's mostly on the Mediterranean coast. That's where the vast majority of the population resides . The rest of the country consists of the Sahara desert with just a few cities located by the oasis in the desert.

Are you seriously comparing a country like Iran to Libya ? Iran has a population of ~ 90 million people . That's a third more than little britain in a land ~ 7 times bigger than little britain .

This is what I was referring to when I meant being afflicted by the condition called Paddyfication . It's caused by a disease called Paddyitis which is what HIV is to AIDS.

That's what Trump is suffering from . That was what Irish Joe was suffering from though arguably the symptoms were different in both of them. That's how a typical rotavirus behaves.

Do you think conquering Iran is a joke ? Haven't we asked to refrain from commenting on topics apart from the Jokes thread the ones on music , movies , cuisine , chit chat etc & threads on various technologies & scientific developments ?

Must we kill ourselves dinning it into your thick skull that these are serious topics involving life & death questions to be discussed by mature men of a certain pedigree . That completely rules our the menials which means you Paddy.
 
"Dhume provides the classic conundrum with his garbage opeds. Logic so flawed that you're compelled to respond. But person so dumb that you feel ashamed about responding."

This is what a handle wrote about Sadanand Dhume quite some time back . Still holds true for him .

I've seen more than a few posts in the past two pages which'd make Dhume's posts look significantly high brow.
 
This much I know that Globalists were trying global unification since time of East India company, when British, French, Spanish, and Dutch use to control almost all world and real puppet masters were Rothschilds through major stake in those companies. But at that time Czars of Russia opposed idea and plan couldn't fructified, That was the reason Czars were eliminated during WW-I. I will be delighted if you can throw more light on this matter.

When the Age of Discovery started, there was a mad rush to find India. During this time, in 1494, Spain and Portugal decided to split the world between themselves. This led to great power competition with other rival countries and a mad rush to find new colonies, including the colonization of the Americas. That's why the Portuguese came to India, but no Spaniards.

1.jpg

So globalism started with colonization first. And of course, with most colonies under the the thumb of companies (all the different * East India Companies), they didn't wanna share power with their captive empires, so they made idealistic plans to rule over the world as a cartel with the support of empires. This required some level of interconnectedness between the companies.

With more countries coming to play, the world map got further divided between the powers. A fair competition ensued and losers withdrew from those territories, that's how the British got India.

But empires later took control of the colonies, which was a great loss to bankers and merchants. The American Revolution showed that the empires were not all they were cracked up to be. The French revolution followed, which was a people's revolution. Then India revolted a few decades later. Post which the bankers and merchant class realized empires can be made to fall, so it was time for them to go. Political schools and parties formed, Marx's works became foundational, the bankers and merchant class loved the idea of taking control of a nation's economy. That's how bankers got the fed reserve too. And why stop there? Why have nations at all? So back to interconnectedness via internationalism.

A bunch of new political parties showed up starting with SPD in 1875 and SDF in the UK in 1881, both German workers-led. Fabian Society was created in 1883 and INC formed in 1884. And so on. These guys are the OGs who trained Lenin and Trotsky. While Lenin chose violence, Fabian Society decided on revolution through peaceful means over long periods of time.

This went on for a few decades and empires started falling and democracies took root. It all collectively happened during and after WW1, including in Russia.

Then came WW2, and this gave birth to the modern idea of globalism based on the beliefs of Fabian Society. The Fabians established schools and universities (London School of Economics) and influenced Oxford and Cambridge, followed by American universities, and the end result is what we have today. For India, and pretty much the rest of the world, Cambridge's Trinity College is where all this began. Nehru, Old RaGa, and New RaGa were indoctrinated in Trinity.

Ashkenazi Jews that migrated from Eastern Europe to Western Europe and the US picked communism to represent their cause. Plus Jewish bankers and businessmen had outsized influence in the Weimar Republic, and the communists in general were very aggressive and operated like gangs. This scared the crap out of young German mothers for their sons who collectively voted Hitler into power.

The biggest weakness of the Bolsheviks is their weak executive, which allows capable populist leaders to come to power quite easily. That's why they hate strong leaders that they cannot control from behind the scenes, be it emperor, czar, or president/PM. That's why Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Putin, Trump, Modi, Xi, even Netanyahu etc are all grouped under the same category. Indira Gandhi was also supposed to be a puppet, but she took power and purged them instead, which earned her the loyalty of the Indian Army. That's also why they are so supportive of Modi today, hence all the attacks on them by the ecosystem.

During the colonization era, the Czars were opposed to it because they couldn't play the game, that's all. The Americans too opposed it in their isolation. But both countries concentrated on Imperialism and national power and eventually became superpowers whereas the Bolsheviks with their weak leadership and distributed power could only fall. They are trying to correct that with systems like the UN and EU while concentrating on capturing the ruling seats of major powers, but they seem to be facing difficulties staying in power 'cause they only know how to be parasites within the system, which in turn helps the cause of populist leaders.

So yeah, colonization led to internationalism, and now globalism is just new wine in an old bottle.
 






Such PDA between the two services brings tears of joy to one's eyes especially if we were to consider participation in the JV with le Francais for the FCAS project wherein all probability , taking a leaf out of the Rafale project , Dassault Aviation would first take on development of the Naval version of the 6th Gen FA .

If so in our case the IN will be expected to lead the project from our end. As you can see the IAF would be more than happy to cede space to the IN to lead the project.

Alhamdulillah !
Bruh does this guy Chopra even know range of DF17 and DG26? Unless China can launch them from space how will they reach every point of Indian Ocean? From what and where will they launch their swarms to sink a ship in the IOR which is thousands of KM in area? Bro just compared a 33 km strait to an ENTIRE ocean. He is one of those "why do we need fighter jets we have drones" type of guy by the looks of it.
There were Portuguese colonies in India, One of my friends are a descendant
They actually brought chili's to India 400 years ago, This surprises a lot of people
Chillis onions and garlic which is why there are some Indian castes which keeping in line with ancient traditions to this day don't eat food cooked with onions chillis or garlic.

We don't fully know the extent of damage the allies plan to do to Iran. We have to see all that later on to judge.



That's far too less to defeat networked systems. In Op Sindoor, we defeated 1000 drones and missiles while barely even trying.



The Rafale will still end up cheaper.



It's far cheaper than what you have proposed.



That's just a transportation tunnel. Missile bases are complexes, not merely a hole in the wall.

People live there. You need living quarters, communication hubs, life support systems, security etc. Even without silos.

Instead we build much smaller numbers and disperse them over a large area.



You attack economic centers to "send their economy to the shitter and decimate their population," they will respond with nukes.

Using conventional weapons to attack certain civilian infra in a caliberated manner to a certain extent will be tolerable, like transportation hubs and energy, and we have weapons for that already, and we are seeing that in both Ukraine and Iran. But if you meaninglessly attack civilians without strategy, the only response will be nuclear. It's a red line.
You can't compare Titan silo to tunnels storing solid fuelled missiles on TEL trucks cuz Titan is liquid fuelled, our missiles are not and as such do not need such large and sophisticated tunnels to house missiles.
While Iran has been holding out, effectively blocking hormuz strait & is causing significant retaliatory damage to US bases, Israel, GCC countries, but the country who has received the most beatings/damage is Iran itself.

Hope its enough for you recalibrate the extent of effectiveness and limitations of various weapons, weapon systems ,doctrines, goals, etc. And able to look the Current REALITY taking place in a more broader way.

And not jumping into shallow conclusion of what's is vindicated and what is stupid, the conclusion itself is wrong and the attempt of simplify it in this way heavily skew the reality taking place at best.
Ppl saying its stalemate when one specific country has gotten its entire leadership (political and military) killed in the beginning hours of the war and is now being bombed relentlessly. Lol

9. Thanks for the reminder @_Anonymous_ , something I've also previously expressed-- to give the devil his due, Trump and his Heritage Foundation backers had at least this one competent plan to halt China's further rise by re-diverting Russian oil to the European market and choking off other supplies of cheap oil from Iran, Venezuela, Guyana and safe passage through Panama. With Cuba, one of the last few leftist govts also waiving the white flag, Xi is completely cucked. Meanwhile this Gao fella is boasting about the vaunted Chinese nukes and how their military is second to none, while they're nowhere to be seen protecting their interests in the Arabian sea. More 5ft and less Lao Gao.



10. For any other country thinking that being one week from building a nuclear bomb is a credible policy that might work without capitulation, this war has just shown you better finish the crossing line.

Does this idiot bat eater Victor Guo not know US Russia and France all mastered the hydrogen bomb way before the Chinese? Like there is a height to grandiose claims and delusion 🤣. US nuclear arsenal is far larger, more capable, more tested and more deadly than China's will ever be in the next 10 years across multiple domains, only edge where China and even we are ahead are land based ICBMs but the US will regain the lead with Sentinel. In terms of SLBMs and air launched/delivered nukes US wipes the floor with anyone and everyone.

Yep. The tourist state of Goa and 2 more islands. They controlled Mumbai too, but handed it over to the British later on. The Indian Army invaded Goa in 1961.

The Titan itself wasn't the point. A Minuteman silo is obviously smaller. The point was Saaho thinks just buying the missile is sufficient without counting the infrastructure that comes along with it. Thousands of IRBMs with conventional weapons to destroy the Chinese economy.

Even if you want a truck-based system, the support infra for even a 3-launcher unit is massive.

We use very few missiles and launchers on trucks and rails, so we are fine. But for the hundreds that the US needed, it was unaffordable, they could instead afford silos. Russia and China use mobile nukes 'cause they have underutilised land to hide them in.

Now Saaho wants thousands. So that requires silos, mobile units are unrealistic in such numbers for apartment-sized missiles. We don't even have the land for it, never mind building all the regimental bases necessary.

The financial expenditure of mobile MRBMs, IRBMs, and ICBMs beyond a few dozen is quite astronomical. That's why when our older stuff ages out, even we will eventually transition completely into silos, SSBNs, and aircraft.
 
This thought process is so wild and fantastical, at least in my humble opinion.

You don't see the patterns, but plenty of people do. In fact, these guys openly reveal their plans themselves, for the sake of their cadre. That's how we can tell when some new operation begins, like the starting point of a new protest or regime change.

We have been fighting these people for the last 150 years. It's one of the main reasons why we do not allow Western entertainment industry to make films featuring Hinduism, mythological characters, or destroy Hindu monuments in disaster films. We know they will make a mockery of it.

History is all interminably linked. Most people see large-scale events in isolation, but there's no such thing. It's all just one continuous story. People just start reading very small parts of it and assume that's all there is to it.

After the fall of the Roman Empire and rise of Christianity in Europe, nothing much happened until the Black Death. But after that there was a population explosion in Europe which kickstarted their economy, which then led to the Age of Discovery/Sail, the Protestant Movement, Rennaissance, colonization, Industrial Revolutions and finally the world wars. It's all just one single story.

The story continues with Cold War, and then the Third Industrial Revolution ushered in the modern era. Up next is the Fourth Industrial Revolution and a new world war. Just history repeating itself 'cause people refuse to learn from it.

Anyway, here's something interesting:

Fulbright Scholarships are used to indoctrinate students into communism.


Trump busy purging it.

Similarly the attack on H1B was done to target the uncapped portion of the visa which did not go to corporates (capped to 85000) but to universities and NGOs at very low salaries. And these employees are the ones they indoctrinate into communism and use them. That's also why Trump is busy attacking universities and NGOs.

In India too, Modi purged NGOs. We no longer have Amnesty, Greenpeace, Oxfam etc operating in India, along with 20000 other NGOs.
Interesting read.

Modi's been purging Bolsheviks in India from day 1. If Congress comes back to power, all these parasites will return too.

The Bolsheviks run most NGOs globally of course. Look at just the US alone.

The Somali daycare scam and the new hospice care fraud in the US are good examples of that.

The clues are all there. What I'm saying is not a secret.
 

Iran will allow Japanese-related vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, Kyodo news has reported, citing Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi

In a phone interview with the Japanese news agency, Kyodo, Mr Araghchi said Tehran and Tokyo were in talks about reopening the strait.

Japan relies on the Middle East for around 95pc of its oil supplies and 90pc of its shipments pass through the strait.

The closure of the strait, combined with the ongoing conflict, has triggered a global spike in oil prices prompting Japan and other countries to release oil from their strategic reserves.
 
There are some medium term consequences that the global market will have to bear. It was speculated that if the war lasted more than a week there would be a substantial impact in the global market.


Supply measures alone won’t be enough to mitigate “the largest supply disruption in the history of the global oil market” amid an escalating conflict in the Middle East, the International Energy Agency warned on Friday.

Instead of waiting for disrupted production to recover, lowering demand could ease pressure on consumers and help bring prices down more quickly.

Minimizing road and air transport, working from home where possible, and switching to electric cooking could significantly help cushion the shock for consumers, the agency said.

Heightened geopolitical risk has rattled traders, sending not only crude prices higher but also sharply increasing costs for refined products such as diesel and jet fuel, which directly impact transportation, logistics and consumer prices.

We need hundreds of cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Definitely not thousands. But hundreds are doable especially subsonic LO cruise missiles which will be useful in destroying their CAC and Xian aircraft production sites among other things. We already have thousands of Brahmos albeit across 3 domains.

Against Pakistan even 50 or less Brahmos hitting their oil storage facilities and Karachi/ Gwadar port will bring them to their knees.

"Almost immediately after the incident, a coordinated disinformation campaign emerged on social media under the hashtag #IndiaBetraysIran, falsely alleging that India had leaked the frigate's coordinates or location data to the United States, enabling the attack. Analysis by Indian OSINT groups and threat intelligence platforms traced the campaign's origin to a March 4 post by the account @TacticalTribun, an account with a history of frequent username changes suggestive of malicious intent," the said.

The narrative spread rapidly through manual amplification by unique accounts (not purely algorithmic), with approximately 40% originating from Pakistan-based users and networks, followed by contributions from Iran-aligned, Middle Eastern, African, and Southeast Asian clusters, they added.

They noted that the campaign bore hallmarks of coordinated hybrid information warfare, combining genuine user engagement with orchestrated amplification techniques.

"Over 500 posts from more than 100 identified accounts reached an estimated cumulative exposure of 50,000-100,000 views in the initial phase, with some individual posts achieving viral reach exceeding 900,000 impressions," according to national security officials.

Open-source intelligence assessments found that the campaign exhibited characteristics of a coordinated hybrid disinformation operation, combining organic sentiment with inauthentic amplification.

"Key propagation followed a hub-and-spoke network structure: the origin post was rapidly replicated by primary amplifiers within 3-6 hours, followed by secondary amplification across 80+ accounts through quote tweets, replies, and hashtag clustering. Notably, high-engagement visual content-such as images of IRIS Dena with Iranian flags and unrelated naval footage-significantly outperformed text-based posts, indicating deliberate emotional manipulation tactics," the people familiar with the matter said.

Further breakdowns revealed layered participation across different types of accounts, suggesting structured coordination behind the campaign.

"Further analysis identified structured layers of participation, including originators, high-reach amplifiers, mid-tier ideological networks, and low-reach "sockpuppet" accounts. The campaign also demonstrated moderate-to-high indicators of coordinated inauthentic behavior, including verbatim content duplication, synchronized posting patterns, rapid hashtag emergence, and abnormal engagement spikes. Bot-amplification risk was assessed as moderate-high, though the campaign remained a hybrid ecosystem involving both real users and coordinated actors."

They brought chillies , tomatoes, potatoes , pumpkin, guavas , pineapple , cashew nut etc & took sugar cane rice mangoes jackfruit bananas etc along with Indian born slaves to South America.

Right now sugar plantations in Brazil are earning them much more FOREX than all those cash crops the Portuguese introduced into India are earning us.
