“On average, we fire 15 shots per day. But there were days when we made more than 100 shots, or haven’t made any at all. Now hostilities intensified in our direction, but we have as few shells as we used to have,” Politico reports, citing an anonymous Ukrainian artilleryman.

“You’re hearing from congressmen and senators saying ‘but we need to hit Iran for supplying the Houthis and Hamas and Hezbollah,” Maloof explained. “Well, does Russia then have a right to hit US and NATO allies, as a result of supplying weapons to Ukraine to battle Russians?”

“I think that if Biden were to follow through [with an attack on Iran soil], then that raises a whole new specter of opening up NATO countries to potential attack,” he continued, adding that the US is simply hoping Russian President Vladimir Putin “doesn’t follow through” with that justification.

"The Palestine Red Crescent Society condemns the direct shelling by the Israeli occupation forces on the society's building in Khan Younis and Al-Amal Hospital ...., which shelters thousands of displaced people, resulting in the death of three displaced people and our colleague," the organization said in a statement.

"Why is it that we only have consequences for actions not in the US? ‘If you harm Americans there will be payback.’ Well, there are Americans being harmed in the US every damn day. We don't anything about the border. We don't do anything about crime. When will we send a message to the illegal immigrants, or the fentanyl suppliers? Or the smash and grabbers? Or hell, why don't we send a message to the people who assault cops?"

"Continuing our approach in resisting the American occupation forces in Iraq and the region, and in response to the massacres committed by the Zionist entity against our people in Gaza, the Islamic Resistance fighters in Iraq attacked the ‘Harir’ occupation base in Erbil, northern Iraq, on Saturday, 3-2-2024, using unmanned aerial vehicles. The Islamic Resistance affirms its continued efforts to target the enemy's strongholds," the statement says.

"It has a special significance from a historical point of view. In fact, if we look at history, Crimea has been in Russian hands for a long time," he said.

“The West doesn’t know what to do following the failure of Ukraine’s counteroffensive. They need some kind of plan for which, roughly speaking, Kiev will be able to go and get more money. Here, Zaluzhny is trying to show his plan and convince Western audiences that he is the man who can implement it,” the observer noted.

“The second motivation is of a more general nature, and it seems that Zaluzhny feels ‘cramped’ in his commander’s chair. He imagines himself as kind of a new von Clausewitz, a great military theorist, and therefore engages in writing such texts of more of a philosophical and theoretical nature,” Poletaev said.
