Russia...Yemen... North Korea 


In case you missed the news,  Germany's Consulate in St. Petersburg has been quietly and efficiently closed with staff evacuated and documents either destroyed or returned to the German state. 

Germany is also stockpiling pharmaceuticals and medical equipment with programs underway to train medical personnel for treatment of combat injuries.  And while Bloomberg presents a specter of war, as a prior military officer, I categorize it as benign-aggressive-contingency planning.

Russia is running off a strong platform populated with suicide drones and strategic bombing efforts.  Suicide drones have destroyed P-18 and 35D6 radars  with four radars destroyed in the last seventy-two hours and extensive SEAD and DEAD operations being conducted. (Suppression/Destruction of enemy air defenses.)

Yemen:

They have the advantage.  They know the terrain and embrace the Ahadith regarding their parcel of land. Yemen remains the "mini-me" of Afghanistan regarding war and resiliency.

در مناطق تعز و لحج، ارتش یمن به رهبری انصارالله، به شدت در حال پیشروی به سمت محاصره سه خط مختلف ائتلاف عربی است. در منطقه‌ای که بین خطوط تعز و لحج قرار دارد، پیشروی همزمان در امتداد خط ساحلی بین خلیج عدن و کوه کعبوب و همچنین در خط تعز-جبل حبشی ادامه دارد. همچنین، حملاتی برای محاصره کامل شهر تعز در حال انجام است. پس از حملاتی به زیرساخت‌های پایگاه‌های نفتی و هوایی عربستان سعودی، پشتیبانی هوایی عربستان سعودی به طور قابل توجهی کاهش یافته است، که این امر پیشروی انصارالله را تسهیل کرده است. پ. ن: جبل کعبوب (جبل كَهْبُوب) ارتفاعاتی استراتژیک در جنوب غربی یمن است که در استان لحج و نزدیک به مرز استان تعز قرار دارد.

In the Taiz and Lahj regions, the Yemeni army—led by Ansar Allah—is making significant advances aimed at encircling three separate Arab Coalition lines. In the area situated between the Taiz and Lahj fronts, simultaneous advances are underway along the coastline between the Gulf of Aden and Mount Kahbub, as well as along the Taiz–Jabal Habashi axis. Additionally, operations are being conducted to completely encircle the city of Taiz. Following attacks on Saudi Arabia's oil and airbase infrastructure, Saudi air support has been significantly reduced, a development that has facilitated Ansar Allah's advance. Note: Jabal Kahbub is a strategic highland area in southwestern Yemen, located in Lahj Governorate near the border with Taiz Governorate.

North Korea:

Rocket Man (a President on the Autism spectrum)  has visited his nation's new weapon production lines for radar systems, tactical ballistic missiles and drones.

In love with the concept of capitalism, North Korea is steadily expanding its production networks for rockets and missiles to benefit the guidance and air defense evasion capabilities in Ukraine. They are spewing out large volumes of drones - attack, recon, and suicide platforms. Underground facilities are producing FPV drones.

Mohamed Elhassan He is powerful, made up of imperceptible layers.  He was only in his mid-teens when he first heeded the call to political action traveling to the Republic Palace of President Jafar Nimeiri seeking justice for his family. He is a well-respected Sufi.  In June,  he was awarded a Masters Degree in Islamic Studies from Hamad Bin Khalifa University (Qatar).  A recognized leader of the Kwahla tribe - with 16 million members.   Fast forward to 2010 and 2015 when he ran for President of the Sudan.  In 2015, it was my privilege to serve in a minor advisory role.  In recent years, he has given an enviable one hundred interviews with Al Jazeera Mobasha (life).   His name is Mohamed Elhassan.  I merely call him "friend". Mohamed Elhassan is president of the Sudanese Gathering Accord.  He is a man who knows his business, takes care of his business, and more importantly, takes care of his people. Less than a month ago he tra...

Charlie Kirk Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" would not exist if he had been assassinated for his thoughts at age thirty-one. I would have never read Alexander Solzhenitsyn's "Gulag Archipelago" if he had been assassinated for his political thoughts at thirty-one years of age. Winston Churchill would have never written "Hinge of Fate" (one of my favorite selections) had he been assassinated at thirty-one years of age. Ernest Hemingway was fifty-three years old when "The Old Man and the Sea" was published. Leon Uris was thirty-four years old when his novel "Exodus" was published. The average age of the delegates at the 1787 Constitutional Convention was forty-two.  Benjamin Franklin was 81 years of age at this time. The famous Persian poet Ferdowsi began writing "Shahnameh" when he was 37 years old and did not complete it until he was about seventy years of age.  This would be a tremendous loss not to have access to his though...

State of the Union:  Live Blogging Tammy and Blackfoot will begin live blogging shortly.  Grab your favorite drink and your BINGO cards and get ready to settle in for two hours of our POTUS speaking at SOTU.  We hope to keep this fun! https://opinionbytammy.blogspot.com/2026/02/state-of-union-bingo-cards.html __________________ Here we go, gang! "Gang" in the friendly family way, not in the Tren de Aragua way. President Trump and Mrs. Trump have left the White House and are on their way to the Capitol. I'm sure these past few days have been chock full of leafing through journals and diaries, and holding meetings with the inner circle for messaging strategies. Regardless of how much input his team gives him, we can always rely on our POTUS to not mince words, to lay the facts on the table and give us straight talk. Recently saw Newsom talking about Trump being an actor, and that he's a different person in different situations. Once again, Gavin is projecting his weakne...
