SNAFU!

The US meets with China in Alaska...Fallout predicted a WW3 between China & the US. Coincidence?

The Kadyrov regiment ... have they lost their minds? They just threatened Putin!

The Kadyrov regiment posts an IG video where they basically tell Putin if he doesn't stop @novaya_gazeta's investigations into allegations of torture by the regiment, "one of us" may be forced to take things into his hands to stop it. pic.twitter.com/9xu1DVbluV

Chechens man. Those are some ballsy bastards. No wonder the fight against them was so hard. They're all crazy!

2020 was bad. 2021 will be worse. Get ready for a crisis with Iran soon...

Sat. imagery from the 16th Mar. 2021 shows progress at #Natanz Nuclear Complex(?), #Iran. Large hillside excavation can be seen. Entrance height unkown due to shadowing.

Yesterday it was announced that Iran had started enriching uranium at Natanz with IR-4 Centrifuges. pic.twitter.com/LNcr7eBtwX

Things are about to get dicey in the Middle East folks. I've been predicting that long simmering regional war will turn hot and we seem to be on the brink of it.

I didn't do a post on it but the Israeli Defense Force leaked that they were updating plans for a strike on Iranian nuclear facilities.

Greece and Saudi Arabia have just conducted aerial exercises over Cyprus.

The Houthis are pounding the Saudis like a piece of cold meat.

And now?

Now the Iranians are expanding their nuclear sites and enriching uranium again.

Any guesses when?

I'm thinking late summer. Don't know why it just feels right. The Israelis won't wait long and Biden doesn't seem to have a relationship with their leadership so he probably won't be able to back them off.

The thing that puts it all in doubt is the threat of international sanctions. Gonna be hard to pull that off (sanctions) for a strike on Iran so if we see some activity from the Occupied Territories that would signal that the Iranians are scared and want to up the outrage meter. If Israel goes crazy on the Palestinians then the world (especially with a Democrat US President) will sanction the hell outta them. Strikes on Iran without the Palestinians to hide behind? Alot tougher especially with the hawks in America.

The tactical and special exercises of the 18th Command Battalion of Poland's 18th Mechanized Division is underway.

Watch the Poles! It's a serious race between them and the French to see who has the most effective armored force by 2030. My bet is it's gonna be a tie. The French will be better in Out Of Area operations...ie...expeditionary actions, while the Poles will have the most balanced and heaviest allied force on the continent. IF (and it's a huge freaking IF) the Russians attack and the Poles can't hold then the Russians will achieve every objective. The bet on Air Forces on that continent is too big and it'll be nullified not by those big Russian anti-air systems but rather by all those electronic warfare units they're pushing.
