Great moment with representative representative Perry during the house foreign affairs committee February 13, 2025

European nations are turning against Israel while downplaying the realities of October 7 and applying a different standard to Israel’s response to terrorism.

Victor Davis Hanson and Jack Fowler focus on Ireland and Spain’s increasingly anti-Israel rhetoric and the refusal to confront the brutality of the October 7 attacks. They also highlight the irony that Israeli doctors once saved the life of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by removing a brain tumor while he was imprisoned in Israel.

Hanson also pushes back on claims that the conflict with Iran is becoming another “forever war,” arguing that Iran’s weakened infrastructure and limited American combat losses tell a very different story.

The conversation also covers the growing race for artificial intelligence dominance, Elon Musk’s success with companies like SpaceX and Starlink, the release on bail of five suspects arrested with explosives near a British airbase used by the United States, and the political dynamics heading into the midterm elections.

RUSSIA could bring Britain “to its knees” as it wages a hybrid war against the UK, experts have warned.

Banking systems, hospitals, electrical substations and power plants could all be targeted should Vladimir Putin unleash his network of saboteurs on Britain’s infrastructure.

Cyber expert at Rusi, Joe Jarnecki, explores how Putin could destroy British bank records and medical history stored in "defenceless" data vaults.

Today, the biggest news comes from the Vovchansk direction, where Ukrainian forces are pushing back against Russia’s western pincer.

The operation began inside the forests near Synelnykove, where Ukrainian reconnaissance troops moved directly against a network of Russian dugouts hidden beneath the tree cover. The footage shows Ukrainian troops clearing one dugout after another, as taking the first shelter still left nearby Russian soldiers in position and forced the assault group to keep moving through the forest until the entire defensive pocket was cleared. Once the fighting ended, Ukrainian troops occupied the captured positions and collected rifles, documents, and mobile phones, giving them access to messages and unit locations about the Russian forces operating in the area. This removed another Russian foothold inside the forest and gave Ukrainian forces control of the dugouts that had allowed Russian troops to remain concealed west of Synelnykove.

The fighting took place roughly five kilometers southwest of central Vovchansk, in the forests immediately west of Synelnykove, where Russian forces are trying to move around the Ukrainian defenses. By advancing through these forests, the Russians are trying to widen their western bridgehead around Vovchansk and push deeper behind the Ukrainian positions, giving them more room to expand the offensive south and southwest of the city. The forest is well suited for this approach, as small Russian groups can move under cover, establish dugouts, and gradually extend their presence without crossing large areas of exposed ground. Clearing these positions removes footholds that Russian troops could use to push the western pincer farther around Vovchansk. 

The biggest Russian mistake is that their command is already treating scattered infiltration groups and isolated footholds as consolidated territorial gains. Just as around Lyman, Russian maps are showing control over areas where only a handful of soldiers have managed to penetrate, creating a gap of more than twenty kilometers between the line claimed by Russian commanders and the positions they actually hold. In the forests west of Synelnykove, this creates problems almost immediately, as Russian commanders can send reinforcements and supplies along routes they already consider secure, even though Ukrainian troops are still able to move through parts of the same area. Drone teams and artillery can also be assigned according to positions that exist on the map rather than on the ground, leaving forward Russian groups with less support than expected. This turns the apparent depth of the western pincer into a weakness, as Ukrainian forces can move through the gaps and attack isolated Russian footholds one by one.

Ukraine is now exploiting that weakness by systematically clearing the forest, with reconnaissance identifying isolated Russian positions before assault groups move in to clear the dugouts and use the captured ground to support further movement. Once one pocket is removed, nearby Russian groups become more exposed and harder to support, allowing the Ukrainian clearing operation to continue deeper into the forest. This prevents Russian infiltrators from joining together into a continuous defensive line and forces Russian commanders to send additional troops back into areas they had already counted as captured. Instead of using those footholds to keep extending the western pincer, Russia is being forced to secure the ground behind them, turning the battle west of Vovchansk into Operation Vivaldi two point zero.

Overall, Ukraine’s clearing operations west of Synelnykove are forcing Russia to properly secure areas it had already claimed as captured, which means linking its scattered positions and protecting the routes between them. This increases the burden of maintaining the western pincer and makes its forward groups harder to support whenever the line on Russian maps moves ahead of the troops actually holding the ground. The same mechanism defined Operation Vivaldi around Lyman, where Ukraine exploited the gap between infiltration and genuine control before Russian forces could consolidate their advance. Russia now has to choose between slowing the push to close those gaps or continuing forward while leaving exposed positions behind for Ukrainian troops to clear.

• پیش‌بینی تکان‌دهنده درباره جنگ ایران و اسرائیل
• شلیک سلاح‌های هسته‌ای و ظهور گوی‌های نورانی در آسمان
• راز ظهور و ناپدیدشدن ناگهانی یوفوها

اگر دوست داشتین از این کارها بیشتر انجام بشه از این لینک برای تولید، به کانال کمک مالی کنین: https://buymeacoffee.com/mutednews
یا اینکه به پی‌پال من واریز کنید:
https://bit.ly/3wTR2sM

خلاصه:
انتشار تصاویر عجیب از اشیای نورانی در آسمان ایران، بار دیگر بحث درباره یوفوها و فناوری‌های ناشناخته را داغ کرده است. برخی از این اشیا به‌شکل وی و برخی دیگر به‌صورت دایره‌ای دیده شده‌اند؛ بدون آنکه هنوز توضیح رسمی و قانع‌کننده‌ای درباره ماهیت آنها ارائه شده باشد. اما ماجرا زمانی جنجالی‌تر شد که این تصاویر به برنامه بنی جانسون رسید و تیم برچت، عضو مجلس نمایندگان آمریکا، احتمال داد آنچه در آسمان ایران دیده شده، یک پدیده واقعی باشد.
برچت می‌گوید با توجه به شرایط کنونی ایران، دشوار است تصور کنیم فردی صرفا برای سرگرمی چنین نمایشی ساخته باشد. با این حال، او احتمال دیگری را نیز مطرح می‌کند؛ اینکه شاید دونالد ترامپ با استفاده از یک فناوری محرمانه، جمهوری اسلامی را سردرگم کرده و می‌خواهد مقام‌های نظامی ایران مدام از خود بپرسند در آسمان کشورشان چه خبر است. احتمالی که یادآور پروژه «جنگ ستارگان» رونالد ریگان و جنگ روانی آمریکا علیه اتحاد جماهیر شوروی است.
در ادامه، پای پیش‌بینی تکان‌دهنده کریس بلدسو به میان می‌آید. او ادعا می‌کند سال‌ها پیش تصویری از آینده به او نشان داده شده بود که در آن، جنگ ایران و اسرائیل به نقطه‌ای بسیار خطرناک می‌رسد. بر اساس روایت بلدسو، پس از حمله شدید ایران، اسرائیل شش سلاح هسته‌ای شلیک می‌کند؛ چهار سلاح به سوی ایران و دو سلاح به سوی سوریه. درست در همان لحظه، آسمان از گوی‌های نورانی پر می‌شود و موجوداتی ناشناخته برای جلوگیری از ادامه فاجعه مداخله می‌کنند.
بلدسو می‌گوید این موجودات قصد نابودی انسان‌ها را ندارند و روایت ترسناکی که احتمالا درباره آنها ساخته خواهد شد، با واقعیت فاصله دارد. به گفته او، این پدیده‌ها می‌خواهند خود را آشکار کنند، اما گروه‌هایی تلاش می‌کنند آنها را به‌عنوان هیولاهایی خطرناک معرفی کنند.
اما اگر این اشیا واقعا وجود دارند، چرا فقط برای چند لحظه ظاهر می‌شوند، مسیرهایی غیرعادی را طی می‌کنند و سپس بدون باقی‌گذاشتن هیچ ردی ناپدید می‌شوند؟ یکی از فرضیه‌های مطرح این است که شاید با مسافرانی از سیاره‌ای دور روبه‌رو نباشیم، بلکه این موجودات از بُعدی دیگر وارد جهان ما می‌شوند.
کارل سیگن با مثال مشهور «سرزمین تخت» توضیح می‌دهد که ورود یک موجود متعلق به بُعدی بالاتر، از نگاه موجودات یک جهان محدودتر چگونه دیده خواهد شد. چنین موجودی ممکن است ناگهان از هیچ ظاهر شود، شکلش تغییر کند، از موانع بسته عبور کند و بعد بدون حرکت در هیچ مسیر قابل مشاهده‌ای ناپدید شود.
در برنامه «یوفوی ایران»، تصاویر دیده‌شده در آسمان ایران، احتمال نقش فناوری محرمانه آمریکا، پیش‌بینی هسته‌ای بلدسو و فرضیه موجودات میان‌بُعدی را کنار هم قرار می‌دهیم؛ روایتی میان جنگ، سیاست، اسناد پنهان و یکی از بزرگ‌ترین معماهای حل‌نشده جهان.

I examine Ukraine’s reported first combat use of the FP-7 tactical ballistic missile amid a major overnight drone and missile campaign against targets across Russia. With a reported range of up to 300 kilometers and a payload of up to 200 kilograms, the FP-7 could put Russia’s dense near-border logistics network, ammunition sites, airfields, and glide-bomb infrastructure at greater risk—if Ukraine can sustain serial production and employ it effectively.

I also break down reported strikes on the Samara oil-pumping and petrochemical complex, the Lukoil Volgograd refinery, and facilities in Voronezh, Nizhny Novgorod, Krasnodar, and elsewhere. On the defensive side, I assess Russia’s 108-drone attack on Ukraine, F-16 cannon intercepts, and Ukraine’s efforts to scale interceptor drones. Finally, I look at September’s battlefield figures: Russia reportedly seized 175 square kilometers but lost 256, while suffering 46,230 reported casualties.

Thank You for Standing With Ukraine
https://ukrainesupportbridge.com/

Ukraine’s long-range strike campaign came directly to Moscow on the final day of Russia’s parliamentary elections, with the Moscow oil refinery hit amid a massive wave of Ukrainian drones and missiles. Greg breaks down what the strike pattern reveals about Ukraine’s growing ability to saturate heavily defended Russian airspace, why he believes Moscow’s unusually limited public response matters, and what the attacks could mean for Russia’s fuel and military logistics.

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski says Ukraine has destroyed an estimated 30% to 40% of Russia’s refining capacity—even without the ability to operate its air force over Russian territory. Greg examines that assessment, Ukraine’s expanding long-range strike capabilities, Russia’s election-day response, and the growing economic pressure created by repeated attacks on Russian refineries.

Also covered: President Zelenskyy’s call with President Trump and their planned meeting in New York, Axios reporting that Trump again pressed Zelenskyy over strikes on Russian oil refineries, warnings of possible major Russian attacks on Ukraine, and Ukrainian efforts to prevent panic as Russia continues targeting fuel and logistics infrastructure.

@WesODonnellX breaks down Ukraine’s Operation Vivaldi and how airborne drones dropped killer ground robots behind enemy lines.

Ukraine is now dropping exploding killer ground robots out of bomber drones more than six miles behind Russian lines.

Apparently, giving drones their own explosives wasn't enough. Now the drones are delivering other drones, and these little robots are being sent into Russian rear areas specifically to attack positions and interfere with logistics.

The operation has a suitably dramatic name: Vivaldi. Ukraine's Third Army Corps says the offensive has already brought 125 square kilometers back under Ukrainian control, including 50 square kilometers recovered from Russian occupation.

And the strangest part may actually be what these machines are doing when they aren't blowing things up, because according to Ukrainian commanders, ground robots cleared 30 kilometers of mined routes in just two nights, without losing a single sapper.

So how exactly did Ukraine begin airlifting killer robots behind Russian lines, and could this change the way armies conduct offensive operations?

Here, a Ukrainian bomber hit a Russian military staging area, reportedly killing at least five soldiers, wounding eight others, and leaving four missing in action, as shown by geolocated footage released by Ukrainian units operating in the area. The attack also destroyed communications equipment and seriously wounded two Russian signalmen, which complicated their ability to maintain cohesion between neighboring units. The site was also being used to assemble small Russian infantry groups before dispersing them throughout Vovchansk to infiltrate Ukrainian positions. In one strike, Ukrainian forces carried out artillery and drone strikes against Russian troop concentrations and support facilities around Vovchansk. Ukrainian forces then carried out additional strikes across the border in Russia’s Belgorod region. Russian troops had converted a building at an abandoned sugar factory into a logistics hub, ammunition depot, and drone operator post supporting their operations in the Kharkiv region. As a result of the strike, the two guided bombs partially destroyed the facility. Separately, Ukrainian FPV drones struck a fuel and lubricants depot in the industrial zone of Shebekino, triggering explosions and fires at the site. This complicated the ability of Russian units to conduct mechanized attacks, while also denying Russian drone crews the opportunity to refill their generators, which are needed to charge their drones.

Russia is using these rear areas to accumulate forces and equipment to send large numbers of additional troops to their forward positions. Their task is to strengthen the forward groups, secure the gaps between them, and surround Ukrainian forces against the international border. In order to deny Russia the opportunity to encircle thousands of Ukrainian troops, Ukraine is attacking the places where Russian troops gather and where their supplies are stored, disrupting reinforcements before they can strengthen the frontline.

The scattered nature of Russian positions in this sector creates a growing demand for troops, because each isolated position requires soldiers not only to continue the attack, but also to hold captured ground and protect the routes connecting these positions. This puts increasing pressure on the Russian command, particularly after it claimed to have completely encircled Ukrainian forces. Every time Ukrainian strikes hit Russian troops, staging areas, or supply lines, additional soldiers and equipment are needed to replace losses and reinforce vulnerable positions. As more resources are diverted to keeping these scattered positions supplied and connected, fewer remain available for further advances, making it increasingly difficult for Russia to turn its claimed encirclement into a fully secured operation.

This means that the alleged encirclement is not complete and is really fragile. Russian forces infiltrated behind Ukrainian lines, but were unable to fully consolidate their gains because of Ukrainian resistance and strikes on the supply lines and staging areas. Much of the ground between Russia’s forward groups remains a grey zone, so neither side fully controls it. Because of the nature of these isolated pockets that are controlled by Russian soldiers, Ukrainian forces can still move through those gaps that were left during the Russian advance. By exploiting these gaps, Ukrainian forces can disrupt the logistics of the Russians and encircle the troops that managed to slip through the Ukrainian defenses.

Overall, Russia now faces a race between bringing in enough fresh troops to complete the encirclement and replacing the forces and equipment being lost to Ukrainian strikes. The positions Russia has already reached still require constant reinforcements, ammunition, and supplies simply to keep them operational. If Ukrainian attacks continue consuming those resources faster than Russia can replace them, the troops needed for the final push will instead be tied down sustaining the positions already captured. This means that Russia’s ability to complete the encirclement depends not only on advancing further, but on whether it can generate enough additional forces to do so without exhausting the resources needed to hold its current gains.
