Image is of a Hezbollah missile attack on a military camp west of Jenin.

The situation between Hezbollah and Israel is rapidly escalating, with massive bombing campaigns on southern Lebanon by Israel predominantly on civilians (as the tunnels in South Lebanon are mostly unreachable to the Zionists, just like in Gaza), while Hezbollah and its allies respond with missile attacks predominantly on Israeli military facilities. Israel is spreading an evacuation order to the residents of southern Lebanese villages while also bombing their routes of escape and civilian infrastructure, similar to a terror tactic used widely in Gaza.

Northern Israel is currently under military censorship to hide their losses, so we get very little information other than what the Resistance provides and what videos and images get through the censors.

I don’t know if Israel will dare a ground incursion soon, but it seems fairly likely in the coming days or weeks.

While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don’t want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it’s just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.

    Trump said he will meet with Zelensky on Friday in New York - BBC

    Trump and Zelensky to meet amid Republican anger

    Article

    Donald Trump has said he will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in New York on Friday. The Republican presidential nominee told a news conference that the pair will meet around 09:45 ET (14:45 BST) at his Trump Tower property.

    The meeting is set to go ahead despite earlier reports it had been cancelled amid growing anger from senior Republicans after Zelensky earlier visited the key swing US state of Pennsylvania.

    On Thursday, Zelensky met US President Joe Biden and Vice-President Kamala Harris at the White House to discuss his “victory plan”, which he hopes will pressure Russia into agreeing a diplomatic end to the war.

    “President Zelensky has asked to meet with me, and I will be meeting with him tomorrow morning,” Trump told reporters in New York. “And it’s a shame what’s happening in Ukraine. So many deaths, so much destruction. It’s a horrible thing.”

    Trump said he believed he would be able to “make a deal” between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zelensky “quite quickly”. When pushed to provide details of such a deal, he replied: “I don’t want to tell you what that looks like”.

    The former US president was speaking after Zelensky had earlier met Biden and Harris. Hours before, Biden had announced a further $7.9bn (£5.9bn) package of military assistance to Ukraine.

    Speaking alongside the Ukrainian president after their meeting, Harris said there are “some in my country” that would “force Ukraine to give up large parts of its sovereign territory”.

    “These proposals are the same of those of Putin,” she said, calling them “proposals for surrender”. Asked at the news conference by a reporter whether Ukraine should cede land to Russia to end the war, Trump did not answer directly.

    “Let’s get some peace,” he said. “We need peace. We need to stop the death and destruction.” Friday’s meeting comes amid tension between Zelensky and the Republican party ahead of November’s US presidential election.

    Some Republicans were angered by Zelensky’s visit to an arms factory in Biden’s hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania, with top Democrats this week, including its governor Josh Shapiro.

    Zelensky’s visit to the key swing state was labelled by leading Republicans as a partisan campaign event. In a public letter, speaker of the US House Mike Johnson said the visit was “designed to help Democrats” and claimed it amounted to “election interference”.

    Trump and Zelensky have a complicated relationship. In 2019, Trump was impeached by the US House over accusations that he pressured Ukraine’s leader to dig up damaging information on a political rival. A rough transcript of the call revealed Trump had urged Zelensky to investigate Biden, as well as Biden’s son.

    Trump has also grown increasingly critical of continued US funding for Ukraine, and in recent days has sharpened his attacks against Zelensky, calling him the “greatest salesman on Earth”.

    Zelensky recently told the New Yorker magazine that he believe Trump “doesn’t really know how to stop the war”. When asked about Zelensky’s comments on Thursday, Trump replied: “I do believe I disagree with him. He doesn’t know me.”
