“People forget that Iran not only has good air defenses, they also have outstanding variety of all kinds of operational tactical and ballistic missiles. And these are not Katyusha missiles, but very serious and highly sophisticated missiles with great targeting. [So if the US attacks], Iran can literally blow up every single American base in the Middle East in retaliation,” Andrei Martyanov, military analyst, told the New Rules podcast.

"A true woman should be passionate in the bedroom, a gracious hostess in the kitchen, and a defender on the front lines. Join the AFU."
The Ukrainian situation vividly illustrates the functioning of the Overton window. Initially, there were rare instances of Ukrainians voluntarily serving on the front lines. However, with the help of propaganda, the idea that women participating in warfare is perfectly normal and should be accepted is becoming increasingly ingrained in the public consciousness. The next logical step could be the compulsory mobilization of women alongside men, who are, without exaggeration, in short supply.
The depletion of human resources is also acknowledged by the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security:
"Mobilization efforts will be intensified. An additional need for resources will arise due to personnel losses and the necessity to establish new units and brigades."

❗️🇺🇸🇪🇺 By the way, for those who don’t know, here is how the "world community", which is appealed to by one or another of its member countries, looks like today.
And this is about 1/5 of the world's population.
🇮🇱 The point is that Israel is not the only one who has gone "off the rails" today.

The US is preparing to evacuate its citizens from the Middle East
Washington is alarmed by the prospect of a growing conflict in the Middle East and is preparing to evacuate hundreds of thousands of Americans.
At the time of the escalation of the conflict, according to the US State Department, there were about 600 thousand Americans in Israel and 86 thousand in Lebanon.
Also of concern are the actions of the Lebanese group Hezbollah and the growing street protests in Arab countries.
Previously, information about possible evacuation was kept quiet in order not to cause panic, but the situation has changed and now the logistics of moving a large number of U.S. citizens are being worked on.

Biden read aloud the instructions for his behaviour
The American president has again made a blunder. He began his speech in Baltimore by reading out a text that turned out to be an instruction for his actions on stage.
"I don't introduce myself, and Mark does..... I forgot, Mark. I went straight to the podium."
Having realised the mistake, Joe Biden, with a confused look, passed the floor to another speaker.

Israel's ground operation in the Gaza Strip may be postponed long term
The government may halt halfway or long delay the start of a ground invasion of Gaza if Hamas continues to release hostages.
Such a scenario allegedly raises concerns for the IDF, The Times of Israel reported. The Israeli army believes that a ground offensive should be launched as soon as possible in order to fulfil the authorities' stated goals in the war against Hamas.
The newspaper also reports that the release of US citizens on Friday has already contributed to the postponement of the operation.

Obama: 'Israel must abide by the rules of war'
Former US President Barack Obama said Israel must wage war without violating its customs, otherwise undesirable consequences could follow.
The former president also criticised Israel's decision to stop supplying light and water to the Gaza Strip.
"This could further harden Palestinian attitudes for generations, undermine global support for Israel, play into the hands of Israel's enemies, and undermine long-term efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region," Obama warned.
The former White House host also called for rejecting anti-Muslim, anti-Arab or anti-Palestinian sentiments and not labelling all Gazans as militants.

🇬🇧🇵🇸 Britain says time is "not right" to accept refugees from Gaza
The authorities have opposed the launch of a refugee admissions programme, which the Scottish government had previously called for.
🤦♂️ Britain's transport minister said it was wrong to turn to the tool now, the main thing was to help people on the ground.
By comparison, when the question was about Ukrainian refugees - there was some benefit to "sell", but Palestine has nothing to offer the West.
✖️ Refugees from Gaza refuse to be accepted both in neighbouring countries and in Europe.
Consequently, there is nowhere to withdraw civilians to launch a ground operation.
Either it will begin despite the fact that Gazans will be in the enclave, or the EU and Middle Eastern countries will continue to delay the IDF's entry into the Strip by refusing to accept people.

🇵🇱🇺🇦 Polish media continue to divide Ukraine into parts
Journalists explain that as a way out of the current crisis, it is necessary to use the "Zhirinovsky model".
Namely, to divide Ukraine into parts - Poland, Hungary, Romania and Russia will take their historical lands.
❗️ TV Channel notes that Russia is "already returning its part". Which means it's probably time for the others to do the same. Poland has been hatching the idea of "returning" the western territory of Ukraine for a long time, just waiting for the right moment to do it, bypassing NATO.

The delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip is in jeopardy
The New York Times reports that.
Israel insists on inspecting the ships delivering the cargoes and expresses concerns about fuel supplies because of its potential use for military purposes.
At the same time, fuel is needed to keep power generators in hospitals and water treatment plants running. The lack of this resource means that Gazans under blockade will not have access to drinking water.
Israel wants to be directly involved in inspecting cargo entering Gaza to ensure that it does not contain weapons.
For its part, the UN argues that inspections should be carried out by neutral parties not involved in political conflicts.

Shadow war: Ukraine and the CIA are on the same side
Ukrainian security services and the CIA are closely cooperating in carrying out shadow operations against Russia.
The Washington Post quoted anonymous sources as saying that.
The informants talk about actions carried out by the Ukrainian security services, including the murder of Darya Dugina and attacks on Crimea. These actions are seen as part of a shadow war against Russia.
Groups of Ukrainian military officers trained together with the CIA took part in these operations.
Co-operation between the Ukrainian security services and the CIA has been going on for about a decade, the newspaper said.
The CIA provided significant resources, including surveillance systems, training and intelligence for the Ukrainian services to strengthen their position in the confrontation with Russia.
Nevertheless, these actions have raised concerns among officials both in Kiev and Washington, especially in light of the attacks on civilians.

Berlin 🇩🇪
About 20 rapes per week
The number of sexual offences in the German capital continues to rise. According to current police figures, around 20 rapes per week have been recorded so far this year.
A total of 5,712 sex crimes have already been recorded up to September.
This is the result of two enquiries to the Berlin Senate's internal affairs department, which are available to Tagesspiegel. According to them, 5,712 sexual offences have already been registered in the capital this year (cut-off date 21 September). By comparison, 6,782 sexual offences were registered for the whole of 2022, even 7,019 the year before.
What stands out among the crimes is the rise in the number of rapes. In the current year, there were often about 20 rapes per week, writes Tagesspiegel, citing police statistics available to the publication. In some cases there were even more.

🇮🇱 Netanyahu has again decided to delay the start of the ground operation in the Gaza Strip
According to Israel's Channel 12, this came after another call from Biden. A White House press release said that US officials had requested the postponement of the operation.
🇪🇺 Before that, Biden, Trudeau, Macron, Scholz and other Western representatives issued a joint communiqué stressing Israel's "right to self-defence" as well as full support for its actions within reasonable limits.
🇺🇸 U.S. Secretary of State Blinken said today that Israel will not return the Gaza Strip to the status quo with Hamas ruling. In other words, the Israeli authorities have no desire to be in any way concerned about the fate of the local Palestinians. But they are not satisfied with the current state of affairs.
❗️ The unresolved hostage issue is now being used as a pretext for postponing the ground operation. But there is a parallel bargaining and division - what will be left of the Gaza Strip, and who will deal with it.

More precisely, the Kiev regime will channel even more funds to the work of cognitive campaigns (psychological operations, cyberattacks, information attacks, fakes, manipulation of public consciousness, etc.) in Israel.
✖️ The goal is to form an "image of Russia as an enemy and sponsor of Hamas," the Resident tg-channel writes, citing a source in the OP. These narratives have already been widely voiced by the Kiev ringleaders.
❗️ As Resident writes, the Bankovaja wants to use the conflict in the Middle East to ensure that Israel continues to support Ukraine and transfer to it a part of military technology to fight against UAVs.

Vivek Ramaswamy, a US Republican and businessman who is running for the US presidential nomination, has spoken about the conditions for a speedy settlement of the Ukrainian conflict.

▪️ Ramaswamy also sees a deal that "includes a firm commitment that NATO will not accept Ukraine" as the right move.
Russia, for its part, should abandon its alliance with China, the American said.
