It's time for us to pick the right side in Ukraine:

We have or rather 47 has, and its not Ukraine.

🚨 REPORT: FAILED KURDISH INVASION PLAN AGAINST IRAN

According to a recent TOI report, a joint US-Israel plan to enable a Kurdish ground invasion into Iran — aimed at destabilizing and potentially toppling the regime — has collapsed.

Key details:

• Tens of thousands of Kurdish fighters were expected to enter Iran from Iraq with US-Israeli air support
• Objective: push toward Tehran, stretch regime forces, and ignite internal uprising
• Plan was reportedly developed over years and presented at the highest levels

Why it failed:

• Media leaks exposed the operation before launch
• Iran shifted forces and coordinated with Iraq to block it
• Opposition from Turkey and concerns from Gulf states
• Kurdish hesitation over lack of ground support and trust issues with the US

Two separate launch opportunities were ultimately scrapped.

The plan is now reportedly off the table.

The breakdown has also created tension between Washington and Jerusalem.

USS Tripoli arrives with Marines as US surges forces to Middle East


A U.S. Marine with Lima Company, Battalion Landing Team 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, participate in a ship defense exercise aboard the forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli (LHA 7), in the 7th Fleet area of operations, March 26, 2026. The 31st MEU is a persistent, combat credible force operating aboard the ships of the Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of operations, routinely interacting and operating with our allies and partners to contribute to deterrence, security, crisis response, and combat operations in the Indo-Pacific region.

The USS Tripoli and more than 2,200 Marines have arrived in the Middle East as the U.S. surges forces into the region amid the ongoing war with Iran, according to Task & Purpose.

U.S. Central Command confirmed the arrival of the Tripoli Amphibious Ready Group, which includes about 3,500 sailors and Marines along with aircraft and amphibious assault capabilities.

The deployment includes Marine Corps F-35B fighter jets and roughly 1,200 ground combat troops within the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, Task & Purpose reported.

The arrival comes as the conflict enters its second month and follows reports the Pentagon is weighing sending up to 10,000 additional troops to the region.

A second amphibious group carrying roughly 2,500 Marines is also en route, while elements of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division are preparing to deploy, according to the report.

The U.S. is also expected to send a third aircraft carrier strike group to the region, further expanding its military footprint as operations against Iran continue.

U.S. Central Command shared a behind-the-scenes look at Navy aircraft maintenance as operations continue in the Middle East amid the conflict with Iran.

Photos released by CENTCOM show service members working aboard a carrier, performing maintenance on aircraft after thousands of hours of flight operations tied to Operation Epic Fury.

“U.S. Navy aircraft have been well maintained through thousands of work hours performed by dedicated service members on top of their game,” CENTCOM said in a statement on X.

The images put a spotlight on the round-the-clock maintenance required to keep aircraft mission-ready as U.S. forces continue Operation Epic Fury.

Up to 1,000 Iranian agents may be in Canada, posing US threat: report

As many as 1,000 suspected Iranian regime-linked operatives may be embedded in Canada, potentially posing a security threat to the United States, according to a New York Post report citing officials and experts.

The individuals are believed to have ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and may have entered Canada through asylum or immigration channels, making them difficult to remove.

“It’s a huge problem,” Canadian lawmaker Michelle Rempel Garner told the outlet, warning the issue extends beyond Canada to its allies.

Experts told the New York Post the Iranian regime has a history of deploying “sleeper cells” globally and could activate them amid the ongoing conflict with the U.S. and Israel.

An encrypted message reportedly intercepted by U.S. authorities suggested a possible “operational trigger” may have been issued.

The report also noted a recent shooting incident outside the U.S. Consulate in Toronto, though it remains unclear whether the suspects were linked to Iran.

Canadian authorities have identified dozens of high-ranking Iranian officials living in the country, with some facing deportation proceedings, but critics say enforcement has been limited.

A retired Marine Corps commander said U.S. ground forces could play a critical role in the Iran conflict, particularly in hitting targets that airstrikes can’t reach.

Speaking on "Fox News Live" with Aishah Hasnie, retired Col. Mike Jernigan said Marines provide “additional capability” for CENTCOM, including the ability to conduct rapid amphibious raids and return to ships to reset for follow-on missions.

Jernigan said that kind of flexibility could allow U.S. forces to strike targets located near populated areas that may be off-limits to air campaigns.

He also argued that securing Iran’s enriched uranium would likely require a physical presence on the ground.

“Difficult is not the same as impossible,” Jernigan said. “Our American Marines… train for the difficult and near impossible every day.”

Addressing reports that Iran could rebuild parts of its missile arsenal after the conflict, Jernigan dismissed the concern as manageable.

“It sounds like a challenge. It doesn’t sound like a problem,” he said, noting the size of Iran and the complexity of tracking mobile missile units.

I'm not concerned with the speculative 'why'.  I'm concerned with the 'what'.  Ukraine has achieved a 90+% kill ratio against these drones on a daily basis.  The majority of these are taken out electronically.  They are  without question the world's leading technology in tactical anti-drone warfare.

They are also currently defending their country against Russian drone attacks.  This is the same Russia that is currently aiding Iran in their aggression against us, in both satellite intelligence and drone exports.  In essence, Russia is taking an active role in killing American troops.

So, from this point forward, what is our position going to be regarding Ukraine?  As it stands right now, our President publicly:

- Blames Ukraine for Russian aggression
- Urges Ukraine to surrender
- States that he has no use for Ukrainian drone technology since the US is far more advanced
- And now has given Russia the green light to sell more oil, giving them the ability to export more drones to Iran

Personally, I have a problem with that position.  I think our troops would be much better served if we starved Russia while at the same time coordinating with Ukraine to put a stop to Iranian drone attacks on our bases, thus saving American lives.  And that is far more important than someone getting their feelings hurt eight years ago because a newly elected President of Ukraine wasn't going to bow to foreign influence.

Houthis say they have conducted a 2nd military operation against Israel using "missiles and drones" and that operations will continue until Israel stops its "aggressions and attacks"

One question @Hoodat  - do you feel that Ukraine can be trusted??

One question @Hoodat  - do you feel that Ukraine can be trusted??

Over Russia, Belarus, Hungary, Spain, France, Germany, the UK, or Iran?  Absolutely.  1000%.

Seriously, what is there not to trust?  Iran is their enemy.  Russia is their enemy.  They want to help.

The most absurd part is this: when Europeans refuse to get involved in a war with Iran, Trump throws tantrums, hurling insults and threats. When Europeans agree to cooperate with him, Trump still throws tantrums, hurling insults and threats, and declares he doesn’t need anyone.

When Ukraine -- despite all the shovelfuls of dirt that Trump throws at it daily -- chooses not to be a dick about the situation and immediately offers help, along with its specific technologies and frontline experience, Trump still throws tantrums, hurling insults and threats.

And his exhalted fans online shout that Ukraine is “ungrateful” (to whom?? to Trump??) and isn’t eagerly licking his boots hard enough. He’s now publicly smearing even Mohammed bin Salman with crude insults.

In this sea of erratic behavior, there are simply no rules for navigating it correctly. No matter what you do, the outcome is the same.

Apparently, the only winning strategy is to behave like Putin and directly and openly support the Iranian regime. Then Donald Trump will be the one tiptoeing around you, brushing off dust, and kissing your hands.

🚀 STRILA 2 interceptor drones set to hunt Shaheds in seconds

Ukraine is expanding its air defense with the upgraded STRILA 2 interceptor drone, developed by WIY Drones in cooperation with Germany’s Quantum Systems. The system introduces a rocket booster that launches the drone almost vertically, reaching several kilometers in altitude within seconds before switching to efficient electric flight.

This setup allows the drone to position above targets like Shahed and ZALA drones and strike from the most vulnerable angle. The onboard AI enables autonomous target recognition and engagement, keeping the interceptor on course even if electronic warfare disrupts communication.

The project is already backed by German funding, with 15,000 STRILA family interceptors ordered for Ukraine’s National Guard and production scaling inside Ukraine to speed up delivery and upgrades.

Instead of relying solely on expensive Patriot or IRIS T missiles, these interceptors offer a far cheaper way to take down Shaheds, Orlan, and other drones, taking down more drones at a fraction of the price.
