SUPERPOWER RISING:

JERUSALEM, ISRAEL — When the shooting stops and the smoke clears, Israel will emerge as the sole superpower in the Middle East.

This is a good thing.

A very good thing.

The world’s 600 million Evangelical Christians – including the 60 million Evangelicals in the United States – should be cheering.

And praying without ceasing. @netanyahu is transforming Israel into the sole Mideast superpower by wiping the Iran threat ‘off the map’

‘THERE IS A TIME FOR WAR’

No one wants war.

But the Bible tells us that “there is a time for war and a time for peace” (Ecclesiastes 3:8).

President Donald J. Trump offered Tehran a peaceful path.

They rejected it.

Trump gave Tehran 60 days to negotiate a good, robust and verifiable deal to give up their nuclear weapons program in return for U.S. economic sanctions being removed from them – or they would face war.

But the terror masters in Tehran refused to negotiate in good faith.

So, on Thursday, Trump gave Netanyahu the green light.

A PROPHETIC MOMENT

We are watching Bible prophecy unfolding before our very eyes.

Yes, Bible prophecy, in the books of Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah, Daniel and Revelation, tells that the world will turn against Israel and the Jewish people in the last days of history and try to wipe Israel off the map.

But the prophets also speak of a time of great peace and prosperity in Israel and the region that I call the Epicenter before those terrible and traumatic and apocalyptic days.

I believe we are now heading into a time of prophetic peace, quiet and calm.

It won’t last long – but it’s coming and coming fast.

I’ll write more on these prophecies soon.

For now, let’s stick with geopolitics

NETANYAHU’S DEFINING MOMENT

This is Prime Minister Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu's defining moment.

For years, he has warned of it and prepared for it.

Now the time has come.

Netanyahu is doing what no American, Arab, or Israeli leader has ever had the courage to do before.
youtu.be/6eOq98a-z6w?si…

By launching “Operation Rising Lions” – a bold and massive preemptive attack – Bibi is wiping the Iranian threat off the map.

MODERATE ARAB LEADERS ARE CHEERING

Inside the palaces in Riyadh and Abu Dhabi and Manama and Amman and Cairo and Rabat, the Sunni Arab leaders are cheering.

They can’t say it publicly.

But I’m telling you they are cheering – and breathing a great sigh of relief – because Israel is doing what absolutely had to be done.

Israel is castrating the apocalyptic, genocidal death cult that rules in Tehran.

Israel is removing the central existential threat to the people of goodwill in this region.

Israel is making it possible for peace and prosperity and regional cooperation to thrive, rather than extremism, hatred, and cruelty.

Indeed, when the smoke clears, it’s possible – not definite, but possible – that the Iranian regime will fall.

Let’s pray that happens

CHINA, RUSSIA, AND NORTH KOREAN LEADERS ARE IN SHOCK

Guess who’s watching?

And in shock?

The despots in Communist China.

And Moscow.

And Pyongyang.

The Chinese, Russians, and North Koreans never believed Netanyahu would really attack their number one ally in the Middle East.

But are they rushing to defend Iran?

Not yet

Ukrainian ballistics at 500 km? What is known about the Ukrainian Sapsan OTRK, the serial production of which was announced by Zelensky

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine is preparing for mass production of Sapsan ballistic missiles. The development of this operational-tactical missile complex began in the 2000s, and its range reaches 500 km.

OBOZ.UA investigated what is known about "Sapsan" and what the "Grim-2" has to do with it, which the Russians have long been afraid of

Where it all began:

We have already written that the first Ukrainian operational-tactical missile system capable of delivering strikes at short (about 100 km) and medium (up to 500 km) distances was to be the Borysfen OTRK. However, due to organizational and financial difficulties, this project became obsolete even at the "paper" development stage.

2/
On its basis, it was decided to create the Sapsan OTRK, which was to combine the properties of multiple launch rocket systems, tactical and operational-tactical complexes. The new operational-tactical missile was planned to be adopted in 2011, but the traditional lack of funding and political contradictions between the branches of government prevented it .
war.obozrevatel.com/ukr/raketnij-k…

"Sapsan" and "Grim-2" - are they the same thing?

After the victory of the Revolution of Dignity and the beginning of Russian aggression in 2014, the issue of completing the development of the Sapsan complex was again on the agenda. Many experts assumed that the Sapsan project found its implementation in the Grim-2 missile complex, which was demonstrated on August 24, 2018 at the military parade dedicated to the Independence Day of Ukraine

Due to the fact that the project is classified, there is no exact official information about whether the Sapsan and the Grim-2 are the same development. Some military experts expressed the opinion that the Grim-2 is an export version of the Sapsan. Others developed the theory that the Grim-2 will have a flight range of 500 km, and the Sapsan - almost 2,000 km.

If we assume that the Sapsan, which Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about on June 14, is the complex previously called "Thunder-2", it is worth understanding what we know about it.

3/
What is known about "Grim-2"/"Sapsan"

In 2015, information emerged that Saudi Arabia had agreed to finance the Ukrainian OTRK "Thunder-2", transferring about $40 million for its development. In December of the same year, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Turchynov announced the creation of a full production cycle in Ukraine.

In 2016-2018, the complex was officially presented, and since 2018 it has been demonstrated at military parades. In February 2021, Defense Minister Taran reported that the project is more than 80% complete, but progress is being held back by a lack of funds.

It was expected that the "Thunder-2" would undergo state tests in the fall of 2019, and its entry into service would begin in 2022, but this did not happen. In March 2023, then-Defense Minister Reznikov stated that the completion of the "Thunder-2"/"Sapsan" was planned for the same year.

"Russia's human resources are not unlimited":
- American general named "two critical areas" for Ukraine in the war

The aggressor country Russia does not take into account its own losses on the battlefield in Ukraine. However, its human resources are not unlimited, although the invaders can afford not to take into account losses for some time. Moreover, the occupiers are already finding it difficult to replace the losses of military specialists, especially junior officer commanders.
obozrevatel.com/ukr/topic/pote…

Russian manpower losses in Ukraine exceed 1 million: minus 1,140 occupiers per day.
They also neutralized 331 units of Russian military equipment and weapons .

Over more than three years of full-scale war , the total losses (medical and irretrievable) of the occupation army personnel reached 1,000,340 servicemen . Updated data was published by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on June 12.
facebook.com/GeneralStaff.u…

The day before, Ukrainian soldiers neutralized 47 artillery systems (a total of 29,063), six tanks (10,933), three armored combat vehicles (22,786), and one air defense system (1,184) of the Russian occupation forces.

In the sky on the front line, the defenders shot down 138 Russian operational-tactical drones (40,435 in total), and on the ground, they burned 136 units of automotive equipment and tanker trucks (51,715).

3/
This is the opinion of former US President's National Security Advisor, retired US Army Lieutenant General Herbert Raymond McMaster.

He notes that the invaders will face the problem of human resources in the near future.
ukrinform.ua/rubric-ato/400…

“I know there’s a perception that Russia has an unlimited capacity to send people into this war the way they’re doing it now. I don’t think they’ll maintain that capability,” the former White House
ukrinform.ua/tag-bilij-dim
adviser said at a meeting in Washington dedicated to the history and future of Ukrainian soldiers, organized by the Borderlands Foundation

At the same time, he emphasized that the losses of junior command officers are especially noticeable for the Russians:

“We all know how difficult it is to restore command at this level.”

McMaster also noted that he has information about how new recruits in the Russian Federation undergo training for just three weeks before going to the front, where they are most likely simply killed or wounded.

Nevertheless, Russia's massive offensive at the cost of huge human casualties also leads to combat losses on the Ukrainian side.

"What to do about this? It is necessary to maintain support for Ukraine and provide a range of opportunities, in my opinion, in two critical areas," he emphasized.

First, Ukrainians need to be “protected from the constant onslaught of Russian drones and long-range strike weapons,”

- he said, referring primarily to a multi-layered air defense system.

- However, he added, it is also critical that Ukraine be able to “kill the archer himself, as well as shoot down the arrows he shoots,” as Ukrainian forces recently demonstrated during Operation Spiderweb.

The loss of even one MiG-31K is critical: what is known about Russia's ability to restore the carriers of the "Daggers"

The Russian Federation is unable to produce new MiG-31K aircraft, which are the carriers of the "Daggers". Therefore, any losses of this aircraft will be acute and critical for it.

This is reported by the Defense Express publication. The journalists add that at the beginning of last year, 2024, about 90 such interceptors were in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces and another 30 units were in service with the Russian Navy's naval aviation.

"During the full-scale war against Ukraine, the Russians made some efforts to even increase the MiG-31K fleet," the report says.

"During the full-scale war against Ukraine, the Russians made some efforts to even increase the MiG-31K fleet," the report says.

Journalists add that at the beginning of 2022, the Russian Federation had 12 aircraft of this type. But the 2024 edition of The Military Balance wrote about the possible presence of even up to 24 MiG-31Ks.

"It is also worth taking into account the reports of the appearance in the service of the Russian Aerospace Forces of aircraft of the MiG-31И "Ishim" type, which differ from the MiG-31K in the declared ability to supposedly automatically go to the launch point of the Kh-47M2 "Dagger" (on the MiG-31K, all operations must be performed essentially manually by a crew of two)," the article notes.

However, the base for expanding the MiG-31K and MiG-31I "Ishim" fleet could be a certain number of MiG-31s in storage, which as of 2018 was estimated to be in the range of 130 to 150 aircraft.

"However, this base could serve mainly as a 'spare parts graveyard' to maintain the fleet of MiG-31B/BM interceptors in service with the Russian Armed Forces," the article summarizes.

Reference

The MiG-31 is a two-seat supersonic all-weather long-range fighter-interceptor dating back to Soviet times. It is a modernized version of the even older MiG-25 fighter. The letter "K" denotes a modification of the airframe to mount the Kinzhal aeroballistic missile.

In Russia, serial production of the MiG-31 ceased in 1993. A total of 500 serial copies were produced, of which only 150 units are actually in service at the moment. This at the same time demonstrates the rather low "endurance" of the MiG-31, along with the culture of serving a terrorist country.

It is the MiG-31K fighters that can carry the Kh-47M2 Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles and are capable of launching them at a distance of 2,000 km.

During a full-scale Russian invasion, Russia often uses the MiG-31K as a tool of terror to intimidate the Ukrainian population and provoke prolonged airstrikes, which, according to the occupiers, temporarily paralyze a large part of Ukraine's territory due to the risk of a missile strike

@ZelenskyyUa responded to @realDonaldTrump:

- Russia and Ukraine are not "children" fighting in the park, Putin "is a murderer"

Trump recently compared the largest war in Europe since World War II between Ukraine and the Russian Federation to "a fight between children in a park." Zelenskyy reacted to this strange "metaphor."
obozrevatel.com/ukr/person/don…

The head of state said that it was not about "children in the park", but about a "murderer" who came to kill children. Zelensky said this in an interview with ABC.
abcnews.go.com/Politics/zelen…

"We are not children with Putin on a playground in the park. He is a murderer who came to this park to kill children," the President of Ukraine noted.

During a meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Trump compared Russia's bloody full-scale war against Ukraine to "a fight between two kids" who are hitting each other "like crazy." According to the US president, "sometimes it's better to let them fight a little bit" before pulling them apart.

Such a cynical comparison struck even Western journalists. So the interviewer who met with Zelensky asked whether, in his opinion, Trump even understands the suffering the Ukrainian people are experiencing as a result of Russian aggression.

Zelensky responded to Trump's "metaphor."

"We are not children with Putin on a playground in the park. He is a murderer who came to this park to kill children," the President of Ukraine noted.

The Head of State also spoke about a conversation with a Ukrainian who lost his wife and three children in an instant as a result of a Russian missile strike and whose existence has been filled with boundless pain ever since.

"He didn't mention any statistics, numbers, or the number of blows. He simply said, 'Every morning when I wake up, I look for my family - in every corner of the apartment... I still think it was a nightmare... a bad dream,'" Zelenskyy recounted the words of the grieving father

According to Zelensky, the US president "could not fully feel and understand this pain."

3/
And it's not about President Trump, it's about any person who is not here in the country, thousands of miles away, [they] cannot fully feel and understand this pain," he said.

The President of Ukraine also emphasized that at the time of recording the interview, Russia had already killed 631 Ukrainian children. And the tactics of terror against civilians have become an invariable companion of the full-scale war unleashed by the Russian Federation.

Recall that after the massive combined attack by Russian troops on Ukrainian cities on June 6, Trump cynically accused Ukraine of the Russian strike .
obozrevatel.com/ukr/politics-n…

According to the US president, Ukraine is to blame for Russia again killing and wounding dozens of Ukrainians because it destroyed some of the planes with which Moscow has been bombing our country for the fourth year

"Russia is not preparing for peace": Palisa spoke in the US Senate about the situation on the front

Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Pavlo Palisa addressed US senators on behalf of the Ukrainian military on Wednesday, June 4. His goal was to support Senator Lindsey Graham's sanctions bill.

Palisa wrote about this on Facebook.
facebook.com/10008002456583…

He spoke about the situation on the front and emphasized that #Ukraine️ will not lose the war.

2/
"In 2024, the enemy captured only 0.5%, another 0.2% since the beginning of this year. But at the cost of 167 killed occupiers for every kilometer. This does not look like a "quick victory," the military man noted.

He also explained why Ukraine can no longer just shoot down Russian missiles - it needs to strike at their source.

The SBU's Operation "Web" became a symbol of the new quality of Ukrainian actions, as 41 Russian aircraft were hit in an hour, including DRLV aircraft.

Palisa also shared important intelligence with the Americans:

"Russia is not preparing for peace... Since 2022, Russia has received over 8.4 million artillery shells of aid. They are actively building anti-Western alliances, although they themselves talk about isolation," he wrote.

"My call is simple: remain vigilant and determined. Ukraine stands not only for itself - we are fighting for the same principles of freedom and justice as you. Thank you for the opportunity to convey the truth. The struggle continues!" - summed up the deputy head of the OP.

3/
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that partner countries should put pressure on Russia not only for the sake of Ukraine.

The war must be stopped now because otherwise the aggressor country will not stop on its own and will begin occupying the territories of other European countries - primarily #Poland, #Moldova, and the #Balticstates.

"It could happen very quickly": Zelensky said that without pressure, Russia is capable of occupying Moldova and other Eastern European countries
