William posting in reports a ukrainian child with shrapnel wounds and bias comment is unnecessary in my opinion.
Why not show both sides eg. Russian baby with foot blown off. Complaining about children and civilians being hurt or killed is pointless to start with. Collateral damage .
It is war.
No need for bias or propaganda chosen by staff or members here. Reports should remain neutral especially considering the US are not directly involved and victims not US citizens.
Neutrality should remain especially if not directly involved. Victims both sides regardless who beleives what, who or how. All are humans not like some prefer eg. Humans vs animals especially when it comes to civilian collateral damage on either side.
If I had or could find a clip off russian civilians being killed or maimed I would have posted it with the one that was deleted as a counterbalance.
 
Side note, anyone else notice how little mainstream media coverage of this there is? I remember the polish drone incursion was front page news for three to four days, and the Ukrainian air defense missile that landed on Poland was the same. There’s substantially more coverage of the blue origin explosion than this.
Because finally people have started to realize that this kind of incident while you're neighbouring a country at war can unfortunately happen.
It's not anymore a mediatic event to exploit.

'I would like to state very clearly that the situation is under control. We are not facing an attack on Romania; we are facing the effects of a conflict taking place very close to our border. Unfortunately, this has direct consequences for the population in the area.

 
Agreed.
Romania has already officially downplayed the event.
Just as I predicted before bed last night.
Still. Even if it wasn't. Certainly wouldn't hold my breath. Now if someone died. Maybe. But. No one died, this time... gives all the room for NATO to shrug it off.
Though anyone could of guessed that, TBF. 😂
 
No decision over NATO's Article 4 from Romania.

I question whether it’s worth it considering eastern sentry is already the response to these incursions.
 
Still not exactly a sign of strength from NATO. Then again it's Romania deciding and not NATO as a whole for article 4 consultations, but to me it's still not exactly the best response, especially if there was some kind of intention. Considering how close the city was to the Ukrainian border, it probably wasn't intentional, but still reckless.
I question whether it’s worth it considering eastern sentry is already the response to these incursions.
 
This article does not specify the origin of the drone.
No it doesn't. But it does confirm a drone has hit Romanian apartment building and Romanian civilians injured, children no less.

So we know the incident isn't fake and the incident occured. Who's behind it is TBD still.

The Russian controlled Zaporizhzhia NPP says a Ukrainian drone struck the wall of the machine hall of Unit 6. The plant said there were no casualties or critical destruction, station systems are operating normally, and radiation levels remain within normal background values. Original source in the comment section.

@DEFCON Warning System @RiffRaff @Irag8er @Torch @Sentry nothing to worry about. A lot of fear porn going around about this. Reactor is fine and no radiation release per Russian state media Telegram account.

If there was something seriously wrong they wouldn't hesitate to use it as propaganda against Ukraine. So not worried.
 
Not sure if this is the right place to post this (and if it isn’t, please move it), but I’m curious how the result of the Iran deal will effect Putin’s calculus regarding Ukraine/The Baltics/NATO. My thinking is, if a deal goes through, thing will slow down in that direction, as we will be free to negotiate again and keep an eye on things, but if not, we might have another Afghanistan situation where he feels embroiled to do something because we failed/are tied up

Already touched based on this in previous page of this thread:
Not worried at all ATM. We in a pre-crisis stage. The environment is perfect for one to snowball or in more simple terms a storm brewing.

Not one thing of particular concern. More a bunch of things and factors that imo make me suspect the Eastern Theater may begin to light up again, sooner, rather than later.

👉For now it's the wait and see stage. See what US does after Iran, most importantly. We go after Cuba... I would be a little worried if I lived in Eastern Europe. If Trump doesn't go after Cuba then I would say a crisis is unlikely. If the Iran war starts back up, a crisis environment becomes more likely for Europe.

👉No one also seems to be taking into account the status quo is changing, against Russia's odds. Not dramatically. But a little each day. Sooner or later... Putin will have to do something.

That's my honest and humble take. Everyone can rest easy right now.✅ For now. Regarding Europe of course, this does not apply to other theaters.

Depends on weather Israel drags US back into war with Iran and if not, then depends on if Trump moves on Cuba. IMHO. We not anywhere near there yet. Closing in on it. But it's definitely not happening by tomorrow that's for sure.
 
Temporary Pause on X/Twitter Posting For (Nuclear-ID) Due to Reply Restriction. I’m temporarily pausing posting on X/Twitter until an account side issue is resolved.

The account replies/comments are currently failing, including plain text replies with no links. Posting sources/links on main post is bad as algorithm throttles you for it in a bad way. So. No point in posting on Twitter until they lift this bogus restriction.

I'll still post on forums if it is important of course. But going to take this time to take a break I guess, until they rectify this issue.

Contacted support. They told me to fuck myself and no way to appeal it, it will "be lifted" at a undetermined amount of time. So fuck em. Taking a break.

What really grinded my gear is that they said that the reason why this restriction can happened is because unhelpful replies can be flagged. I asked what is unhelpful about posting fact-based sources or governmental sources to back up main tweets claim? I was then told that there's nothing I can do and to screw myself. So I'm done for now. On X at least. Not the forums of course.

Twitter has rectified this grave mistake. I don't know if I can ever trust Twitter again, if they can do this without notice or notifying me, it can break my reporting model. But for now. I will resume operations on Twitter until I determine if I should abandon platform after being gaslit like that by Twitter support. I knew Twitter was trash, but not this trashy.

Twitter permanently banned (also rejecting my appeal) my account for unauthentic behavior.
Like…what unauthentic behavior?
Never posted anything, just looking around like the old fart I am.

After one month it unlocked without no explanation.

After Musk bought it the shit has it the fan.
Algorithms going crazy and content being taken down for no reasons.
Nothing new if you have a look on Reddit.

Real shit considering it took me days to follow back all the accounts o was following.
 
Been awhile since I can recall such a hot/heavy & busy Monday news cycle in sometime. Not one particular region, just, everywhere. 🤔
 
Under this plan, the core defense budget is set at €105.8 billion. This will be supplemented by €27.5 billion mobilized into a special defense fund—a result of abolishing the "debt brake" mechanism—plus €11 billion allocated for direct defense budgetary assistance to Ukraine.
Additionally, €58.2 billion has been earmarked for indirect defense spending focused on the modernization of logistics and infrastructure (ports, airfields, highways, and bridges). Consequently, it is fair to say that in 2027, Germany will spend over €200 billion on defense and defense-related matters.
Crucially, this is not a one-time surge. Defense spending is projected to leap forward annually, bolstered by the removal of the debt brake and the potential to mobilize €500 billion in loans for the defense sector. This will significantly increase the net defense budget, which could potentially reach €300–350 billion per year within the next 3 to 5 years.

Under which NATO standard is expenditure on infrastructure (ports, airports) classified as defense spending?

Visioner on X is not reliable. I would advice never getting information from Visioner, OSINTdefender, WarMonitor, and the rest of the lots. They never post sources and a lot of times what they report is overly exaggerated or unconfirmed and almost always later redacted or revised. They don't care about being correct, they only care about the attention/being first.

Guess what OSINT accounts. You guys will never be the source, ever. Grow the fuck up and actually be useful for once instead of the cancers you are on the informational atmosphere.

If you see what Visioner posted and what was actually reported by the original source he is echoing, he got a lot wrong, and guessed on a lot:

👉I have long ago stopped following or getting ANY information from any OSINT accounts in years. It's pretty easy to learn and find the information they do from government or military portals online.

Why have them spoon feed you probably incorrect information when you can just get it yourself from the houses mouth unfiltered/raw. Just saying. Cut out the middle man. A middle man doing a piss poor job no less.

Woof. As you can see. Woke up cranky.

I will say though Faytuks Network does source it stuff almost every time. Besides them. Not sure of any other OSINT account that actually links its sources consistently in its reports, regarding geopolitics at least. I will give credit where credit is due. Keep up the good work Faytuks Network.
