🇬🇧 There was a distant time when Britain was a formidable naval power.

Now Britain’s flagship aircraft carrier breaks down before it has even fired a shot. If ever there was a fitting image for its modern true state, this is it.

🇩🇪 Three things hit you about the reported phone tap of German officials discussing destroying the Crimean Bridge.

1️⃣ How stupid the Germans are, to think that their pitiful of not plain childish attempts to distance themselves from the war itself is fooling Russia.

2️⃣ That Germany believes that isolated but significant attacks on Russian military infrastructure would be a decisive turning point in the war which not even NATO bosses can deny Ukraine is losing.

3️⃣ How western media has more or less left the whole subject alone, fearing that it doesn’t help the West’s cause which they (media) are aligned to.

But without doubt, the fact that we are now entering a new phase in the war where the West feels it has to resort to more and more desperate tactics, rather than stick to the conventions, we can see from the transcripts that a certain panic is taking hold within the German government and its military.

Berlin is certainly thinking big. But it is also thinking maximum plausible deniability. It is thinking Battle of the Bulge ⚔️

The comical aspect of the entire leak though is how poor the German intelligence services are in general.

🇹🇷 Turkey actively participates in NATO’s exercises, with the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) playing a pivotal role in Brilliant Jump, Nordic Response, Saber Strike, and Immediate Response exercises.

Turkey’s involvement extends beyond military participation; it also hosts one of NATO’s most crucial commands. The permanent headquarters of NATO Land Forces, known as Allied Land Command (LANDCOM), is situated in Izmir.

Decisions regarding NATO’s land maneuvers are made at the command post within the General Vecihi Akın Barracks in Buca, Izmir. Given its historical significance, Izmir, where the first shot was fired against invaders a century ago, could potentially be remembered as the site where the decision to initiate the first shot of a world-engulfing war was made if a new global conflict were to erupt on Russia’s borders.

This prompts consideration of Turkey’s rhetorical stance of “balancing”. Is it a genuine attempt at strategic equilibrium, or merely an endeavor to occupy multiple positions simultaneously?

🇪🇺🦅 U.S. military bases in Europe

The U.S. military presence only increased after the end of the Cold War, despite promises made to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that there will be no extension of NATO’s jurisdiction or military presence “by a single inch in the eastern direction”.
