So, the Druze living in the DMZ and Golan want it to be Israel. Can't say I blame them.

2 vessels Volgoneft-212 and Volgoneft-239 declared emergency and sinking in Kerch strait. 13 crew members on each, rescue operation is ongoing

Spoiler:  (click to show)



translated
Quote:Two ships - "Volgoneft-212" and "Volgoneft-239" - are in distress in the Kerch Strait, a few kilometers from the coast - according to SHOT, people are on the decks for about 4 hours and are waiting for help

As eyewitnesses told us, powerful waves broke through the ships. Now the rescue boat is sailing towards Volgoneft-239. There are 13 crew members on board each vessel. First, the Volgoneft-212 vessel, which was carrying more than 4 tons of fuel oil, was damaged, an hour later - Volgoneft-239.

The day before, a storm warning was announced. Wind gusts reach 22 m/s. Mi-8 helicopter of the Ministry of Emergency Situations flew to the rescue.

The Jolani lore is pretty wild in general.

When they captured Idlib they made it more prosperous and free than Damascus and opened up shopping malls.
People would visit the rebel held city as if it was some kind of Las Vegas.

So when they attacked a lot of citizens weren't scared because it was the people that ran the place with the shopping malls and arcades and the only city with more than 2 hours of electricity a day.

Now he talks about building institutions, laws and even elections


It remains to be seen how it shakes out though. If he does allow the Druze and Christians living in the DMZ to join Israel, it would go a long way to create friendly relations with Israel and the west. Next week some EU delegations like France are planning to meet so we'll get a bit more clarity of where things are heading.

A very difficult situation overall. If the US/EU don't consider them terrorists anymore, there is going to be some scrutiny about the whole 'designating groups as terrorists' thing.
Plus Russia could decide that if they lose their bases (as is happening now) they might as well kill him and plunge the country into chaos for the west and Erdogan to clean up.

Jolani is playing a dangerous high stakes game.

They're all on drugs probably, just like the Nazis were hooked on Pervitin, some type of crystal meth.

In Syria they found the Captagon labs of Assad. Turns out Assad turned Syria into a narco state and the country was responsible for 80%(!) of the global trade in Captagon.
Really makes you wonder what the Russians were actually protecting and how Assad paid them.

Wouldn't surprise me if the war in Ukraine is drug fueled madness and it would go a long way to explain the actions of the Russian and now North Korean troops.

The 4D chess move right now would be to make Syria a NATO member

Jolani should invite himself to the inauguration.

After all, he's a popular guy with a lot of media attention. Trump won't be able to pass a chance like that and sign some deals after.  lol

Israel(?) just blew up the main ammo supply in Tartus where the Russian naval base is.
Can't see the Russian sticking around with no ammo.

Trumps

This is why we need Trump to prevent WW3. If he's in office, he'll just wing it. 
And the Russians and Chinese can't risk the United States winging World War 3 to get what they want.

The head of the Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear defense troops of the Russian Armed Forces in Moscow has been taken out by Ukrainian intelligence.

Rumor has it that Budanov is planning to take out Putin as his next target. The Russians are seemingly aware of this.
Last time Ukraine tried to take out Putin with a drone strike, Washington called them off.

Late 2023 the Russians poisoned Budanovs wife so this is framed as his 'personal' revenge against those that tried to poison her and that he will keep trying until he succeeds.

The UN is already on thin ice, why would they do this Trumps

Trump wouldn't be against replacing the UN with an X space or Discord channel (to avoid a conflict of interest). And no one would stick with the UN if US pulls funding and membership equals 100% tarrifs.

"Half true"
What about 2% true?

I want to play liberal interpretation of vague UN declaration too. Let's see:

Cascais declaration wrote:16. Note the contribution of sports diplomacy as a tool for promoting dialogue;

"The United Nations has ordered Israel and Palestine to resolve their conflict through a game touch football."

Among the conspiracy theorists, the ones who are terrified of the "enormous power" of the UN, the WHO, the WEF, etc. might be the lamest.
