So we are going to see a last throw of the dice : a Ukrainian offensive that uses F-16 fighters. A good moment would be Orthodox Christmas.
Once that offensive has failed, what is left? F-35?

Maybe it’s that I tend to see the asymmetric before the obvious …
Any time Russia wants, they can turn off all of the power in Ukraine.
While that is not killing everyone or razing every structure, the end result would be rendering Ukraine uninhabitable, and impossible to stage warfare from.

Russian “noise”… glimpses into intent:
Expert predicts Russia, new Syrian authorities to establish strong ties
According to Wu Yihong, Russia will seek to retain its two military facilities in Syria
BEIJING, December 20. /TASS/. Russia is likely to get along well with Syria’s new government, Wu Yihong, Senior Fellow at the Taihe Institute in China, said in an interview with TASS.
“Chances are good that Russia and the new Syrian government will maintain good relations,” the expert on the Middle East stated. “Both sides have intersecting strategic interests and are likely to reach an agreement.”
According to Wu Yihong, Russia will seek to retain its two military facilities in Syria. He emphasized the strategic importance of the Russian Navy’s maintenance and logistics facility in Tartus for its Mediterranean operations, and the Hmeimim airbase’s significance for Moscow’s influence in the Middle East and Africa.
“The new Syrian government also needs Russia’s support, particularly in counter-terrorism and national security efforts,” Wu Yihong added. He suggested that media reports saying that Russo-Syrian talks are proceeding positively indicate that both sides are willing to find common ground.
“Russia’s negotiations with the new Syrian government are influenced by the international landscape, particularly relations with countries like the US, Turkey, and Israel,” the expert noted. “These countries may have some influence on the outcome of negotiations, but Russia and the new Syrian government will likely seek a middle ground that meets their interests.”

Press review: “Putin outlines Russia’s future goals and Tehran faces energy blackout riots”
Top stories from the Russian press on Friday, December 20th
Iran is grappling with a severe energy crisis – the authorities have implemented measures to cut off electricity to households in order to support industry amid a growing deficit. Experts told Nezavisimaya Gazeta that Tehran lacks sufficient fuel to produce electricity. The austerity measures have frequently triggered protests on Iranian streets in the past.
The blackouts and Tehran’s calls for energy conservation are seen as essential steps, Iranian government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani said. According to her, such austerity measures are dictated by the need to safeguard the country’s industrial production, which could grind to a halt due to a lack of resources.
As Emirati publication The National highlighted, Iran has some of the largest natural gas reserves in the region, but its energy sector has ***long struggled with **insufficient investment,*** which it blames on years of sanctions.
Opposition platforms warn that continued austerity measures during low temperatures could lead to widespread protests in Iran. The last “fuel” riots shook the country in 2019-2020. At that time, the wave of discontent quickly escalated into an anti-government movement with calls to overhaul the political system.
Expert at the Russian Council on International Affairs Nikita Smagin told Nezavisimaya Gazeta that ***Western sanctions have served as a crisis multiplier, worsening the overall situation.
“Initially, the problem was that every summer in Iran there were blackouts during peak hours because the infrastructure could not cope with the rising levels of consumption. This was a major issue that more than once led to significant protests in Tehran and other cities,” he said.
Currently, however, the main difficulty is different – while the capacities have been improved, the country does not have enough fuel to produce electricity, the expert added.
“So, given the ongoing processes in the region, combined with the legitimacy crisis that remains in Tehran, all of this looks quite alarming. If the authorities cannot effectively address this, ***then it could well lead to protests. The question is how extensive they can become,” he concluded.

Regarding rumours of a new Kiev offensive: my suspicion is that the kiev regime will attack Transnistria. Its an easy target and there is no available land corridor for the Russians to engage them.
Posted by: HERMIUS | Dec 21 2024 21:31 utc | 663
_____
The idea of a Ukronazi assault on Transnistria has been batted around for years now. Not saying it couldn’t happen, but because both the Ukronazi regime and the Moldovan state regard Transnistria as Moldovan territory, such an assault would be an attack on Moldova without the explicit approval and maybe participation of Moldova.
Apparently there are enough troops, and certainly enough war materiel, in Transnistria to inflict considerable pain on any outside attackers, so we’ll have to see what the Moldovans and the Ukronazis throw together.

Ah ha. So are you’re suggesting you’re ethnically Persian, eh? And I mean that in the sense that deep down, truly patriotic “Iranis” identify as crypto Persians, not properly governed since before Mohammad Reza went all liberal and became a puppet of the US. That explains your hatred for the Outlaw Empire and the West in general … even going back to the Allies’ occupation in 1941, or maybe back to the 7thC when your heavenly hero Mohammad took over the Zoroastrians.
I’ve been trying to figure out your geo-political-religious allegiances for a while from your kooky bigotted semi-informed postings here. You preach like a Mullah some days but are broadly and deeply aware of American culture, but obviously not within it. So a well-educated, semi- liberal but semi-conservative Shia Irani would make sense.
Or perhaps you’re part of the historically resentful Persian Diaspora in the UK, Canada, EU … second/third generation. Your English is innate. You sure aren’t a proud patriot of wherever you live — just a pious grumpy opinionated bigot who seems to hate the very culture you are immersed in. Could you post all the shite you do here in a forum called “Moon of Tehran”? Lol. No, you couldn’t.
Why not go fight for and live in the budding Caliphate of Syria. Because you love all your mod cons, and the freedoms of speech it allows you, just like MoA does. If your faith is so pure, why not go live under the Taliban.
That’s the problem with you “moderate” Muslims. You’re not bomb-throwers or head-choppers like your more extremist friends around your table, but you endlessly preach to the West your nutty ideology from the safety of “our” liberal values. A stereotypical hypocrite.
I suspect your deviating opinions with our other visiting Islamicist firebrand, the latent terrorist @Giyane, is because he is Sunni Muslim. Similar common enemies but doctrinal differences. Am I right? Is he one of the more radicals around your table in Birmingham or London?
Fyi, I once met a Persian who was one of those in the Shah’s security team involved in a failed assasination upon him (c. 1975). He fled to a tiny Greek island mountain village and lived out his days there pretending to be a Greek, in mortal fear of the SAVAK finding and killing him. You would have gotten on well with him … except he hated the mullahs. He was a true Persian, imo. You’re just a lost little soul, beholden to your narratives and fantasies who’s swallowed the Koran and preaches moral superiority to everyone you address here.
And … you’re one of the most prolific contributors here, clearly illustrating your need to be heard, your need to sound knowledgeable, your need to make cyber friends — a sad little keyboard warrior, (probably still a student at age 30), who just loves to opine and argue deep into the nights.

In response to Aleph null @572) and others upthread
Coulomb Bomb
Having first read about this idea on this forum, my initial reaction was-Science Fiction-. But on reflection it does not appear quite so crazy since we have all experienced salvos of Coulomb bombs during thunder storms.
Lightning is the result of large electrical charge imbalance between the clouds (positive from memory) and the earth (negative), which results in a large electrical potential difference (voltage) between clouds and earth. Eventually this potential increases to a point beyond the “dielectric strength” of the air and a conductive channel is formed over which a very large current travels-for a very short time. This current is of course lightning, but it heats the surrounding air which then expands, leaving a partial vacuum around the channel. When the air rushes in to re-fill the vacuum it creates the shock waves we know as thunder.
Now, is t possible that Russian engineers and scientists have found a way to harness the immense thermal energy generated by the passage of a material object through the atmosphere at hypersonic speeds, and used it to induce massive ionisation of some (presently unknown) high strength dielectric. If so, then in effect they would have created a very highly charged electric capacitor-in effect a bottled up lightning bolt.
If then these could be reliably directed t specific targets-particularly subterranean targets- then they have a very potent and versatile non-nuclear weapon. These things could apparently be used (depending on the rocket used) on any target anywhere on Earth. Also, the shock waves (thunder) if confined to subterranean structures -such as command centres, missile silos or Ukrainian rocket factories would be magnified to the obliterating level.
Has the despicable Putin convinced his minions to produce such lightning bombs, and hence elevated himself to a reincarnation of Zeus?? If so, western decision makers would not be secure in their underground bunkers and should be afraid. Very afraid, since I don’t think Zeus has any Favorites, Jews, Zionists, Capitalists or any other western micro-encyclics. The same would apply to their tame trolls.

You are correct wp007.
@Tim 731 – nonsense. As with a meteorite, the speed is increased by gravity in the direction of flight. The energy of the drive is only needed to reach the top speed and altitude, not after that.
Tim needs to revise his physics knowledge. Also, if the glide vehicles have their own rocket propulsion, this would supplement the gravitational potential energy and result in enhanced speed on impact.

In before post 800? Maybe people should drink more to post less? 😛
I think this Coulomb stuff is barking up the wrong tree and/or getting lost in the woods; all of it seems to end up talking about plain uninteresting plasma. Plasma isn’t really anything more special that liquids or solids or gas, or even Bose-Einstein condensate (yet another distinctive state of matter). It’s not magical!
If the vague Russian claims of efficiency or (future?) potential are true then an inert kinetic warhead (kinetic impactor) must clearly be more advanced in its composition than “just another slab of ordinary matter”.
At the same time if it relies on non-inherent mechanisms then it can no longer be called an inert kinetic anything, ie. no longer a kinetic impactor.
Thus one can wonder about how precise or meaningful any description or claim actually is.
Throw in the double (it goes both ways) language barrier on top of that and one can’t even have any confidence in having understood what was meant (this is becoming a recurring issue).
Silence might be better than that.
Honestly at this point in time it seems the only sensible conclusion has to be that there’s too little information to speculate in any meaningful way! 😀

Posted by: LoveDonbass | Dec 22 2024 3:02 utc | 706
In 1997 a Danish delegation came to my venture capital office in Toronto. Greenland was costing them a fortune and they wanted to sell it.
I put together a group to do such a thing. At the time there were 55,000 people living there and almost everything had to be imported yet there was little export so shipping was expensive as the was no return loads.
My idea was to use the natural pure Greenland ice as exotic drinking water. We would just put the ice into cans and as the ships got into warmer climes they would melt so no energy needed-we even had a potential huge corporate sponsor.
We believed we could start the ‘Glacier Water’ project while simultaneously exploring Greenland for iron ore, lithium, rare earths and other minerals..
But we couldn’t make the model work as you couldn’t bring in enough imports to match so the shipping (opposite problem)one way was too expensive so we had to give up the Ghost.
The Danes have been trying to unload this albatross since the 1950’s….Trump’s idea is sound especially when you take inot acount the geopolitical/military angle.

Trump is a fanatical Zionist with especially close ties to the Lubos, who want to get themselves a new Khazaria … and that means most of Ukraine.
Whether or not he is a “businessman” is irrelevant.
But note that, in addition to military force and murder, the US-empire and its Zionist masters continually advance their own interests via lies and betrayal … no “deal” with them is ever going to be anything but deception on their part, and self-delusion by their opponents.
