🇺🇸🔫⚡️🇯🇵 — ⭐️ Rybar:

"US and Japan conduct new large-scale exercises

Exercises involving the Americans and their allies continue in the Asia-Pacific region. On February 19, Iron Fist 2025 began, involving US Marines and Japanese servicemen. The events will last until March 7.

▪️ The main objective of the exercises is to practice the actions of the combined forces in operations to capture remote islands. Obviously, this is why the main training sites are the islands of Okinoerabu, Okinawa and Kyushu.

▪️ Until recently, Iron Fist exercises were conducted on United States soil. However, starting in 2023, training was moved to remote Japanese islands.

▪️ Of course, the perception of China as the main threat to stability in the region played an important role in making this decision. Considering that the parties are more actively preparing for a hypothetical conflict in the region, it was logical to move the location of the exercises closer to the potential enemy.

🖍 Japan, by the way, is increasing its military presence in the southwestern part of its territory. Units equipped with radio-technical equipment, anti-ship missiles of the "surface-to-surface" class and missiles of the "surface-to-air" class are stationed there. All this is necessary for the defense of remote islands.

❗️ As we have written before, these territories could play a key role in a conflict in the Taiwan Strait. The Japanese could provide islands to support US troops if they were to participate in the war. And such training strengthens the coherence of US and Japanese units, which is necessary to counter the PRC.

🇺🇸🆗🆕⚡️ — 📰 ZeroHedge | US Approves New Russian Ambassador As Major Reset Underway | March 2, 2025:

"The two rounds of high level US-Russia talks in Riyadh and Istanbul in the last two weeks appear to already be bearing fruit, as Russia's Foreign Ministry has announced it's received approval from Washington to send Aleksandr Darchiev as Moscow’s new ambassador to the United States.

Current bilateral US-Russia dialogue has been focused on fully restoring relations and putting back in place all embassy staff in Washington and Moscow, respectively. There had been several rounds of hostile mutual booting of diplomats as relations deteriorated under Biden.

According to Russian media, "Darchiev, a senior diplomat with more than 30 years of experience, currently heads the Foreign Ministry’s North Atlantic Department. He previously served as Russia’s ambassador to Canada from 2014 to 2021 and has held several high-ranking positions within the ministry, including deputy director of the North America Department and counselor at the Russian embassy in Washington."

"After essentially being kicked out of the White House on Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky went to London where British Prime Minister Keir Starmer immediately offered a warm embrace: 'we stand with you' - was the message after the major public clash with President Trump and Vice President Vance in the Oval Office.

"You have full backing from the United Kingdom and we stand with you with Ukraine for as long as it may take," Starmer, who was also just at the White House on Thursday, said in a presser with Zelensky on Saturday.

"And I hope you’ve heard some of that cheering in the street, that is the people of the United Kingdom coming out to demonstrate how much they support you, how much they support Ukraine, and our absolute determination to stand with unwavering determination," the UK leader added."
