‘Sorry, You Lose the Bet!’ Saudi Crown Prince Jokes at White House Glamorous Dinner

I think, both short speeches were quite unusual indicating a special relationship between President Trump and the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Also you don't see the Crown Prince laughing very often.

Only the US has more large big drone companies than Israel. A listing of the 100 largest drone defense companies of the world.

Let this sink in for a moment! David and Goliath except that David will not use his slingshot on this Goliath any time soon. Just kidding!

How does Russia and Iran rank? It appears Russian or Iranian companies were not included in the list.

Notice the largest company from Turkey is ranked no. 3, from Italy is ranked 8th and from Germany ranked 16th!

"Israel's strength in the field of drones was clearly evident in the operation against Iran. A report recently published by "Defense Post" website entitled the "Top 100 Drone Defense Companies in 2025," further reinforces Israel's role as a leading player in the international arena on drone technology. Among the 100 largest companies in the field, eight are from Israel (second in the world after the US), with Elbit Systems ranked in fifth place. ..."

US deploys more THAAD, Patriot batteries in Israel to bolster it's air defense systems

Good news! Israel is located in a dangerous neighborhood!

The US stationed the first THAAD battery in Israel several months ago, and it has already successfully intercepted several missiles fired at Israel, by the Houthi rebels in Yemen. ..."

American F-35B lands on a Japanese destroyer for first time: US Navy

Good news! A deepening military cooperation and interoperability between these two countries.

"The US Navy for the first time landed an F-35B onboard Japan’s largest ship, the destroyer JS Kaga (DDH-184), during sea trials off the coast of southern California ...

The Kaga underwent several changes to allow for F-35B, the US Marine Corps’ short-take-off-and-vertical-landing variant, to land on the ship, including painting the flight deck with a heat-resistant material, installing lights for nighttime operations and reshaping the flight deck’s bow from a trapezoid to a rectangle, according to the US Navy statement.  ..."

Indian PM Modi Poland Visit: "Good Maharaja" Square commemorates Jam Saheb

Very recommendable! He sheltered over 1,000 Polish children in WW II.
"The Square has a strong Indian connection and pays tribute to Jam Saheb Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji Jadeja from Nawanagar, Gujarat. He was popularly known as the "Good Maharaja" in Poland and played a key role during World War II by providing sanctuary to over a thousand Polish youngsters."

The U.S. warned Iran that its new government and economy could suffer a devastating blow if it mounted a major attack against Israel

I recently speculated already here that Israel might be forced to use nuclear weapons!

At the moment it appears more that:
  1. The terrorist allies of Iran will do the dirty work again and carry out attacks
  2. Iran uses verbal threats, hostile environment, and intimidation to cripple Israel and its economy
  3. The last time Iran tried a major military attack on Israel (in April by firing hundreds of missiles and drones) it was a colossal failure due to among other things Jordan was on the side of Israel defending against this attack. Will Iran try again too look like a toothless paper tiger?
However, Iran may try to use unconventional warfare like sabotage or assassination or cyberwarfare etc.

Mistress Kamala did not greet Netanyahu and she boycotted Netanyahu speech at U.S. Congress

Mistress Kamala remains so cringe worthy! Her stupidity on display again for everyone! She is reckless and irresponsible! She covered up for the senile, demented and corrupt 46th President!

Kamala Harris slammed for boycotting Netanyahu speech at Congress - Benjamin Netanyahu - The Jerusalem Post Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH) noted that Harris had not greeted Netanyahu on the tarmac when his plane landed.

Netanyahu accuses Biden of withholding weapons. White House: We ‘do not know what he’s talking about.’

More signs that the usually strong alliance between the U.S. and Israel is a bit in tatters under the senile, demented and corrupt/compromised 46th President!

Or is an irresponsible Israeli Prime Minister just meddling with the U.S. presidential election? Bibi also has become old and probably ought to retire soon from government.

Netanyahu to Blinken:
"... I said it’s inconceivable that in the past few months, the administration has been withholding weapons and ammunitions to Israel. Israel, America’s closest ally, fighting for its life, fighting against Iran and our other common enemies. ..."

I feel so sorry for Prime Minster Netanyahu having to deal with an U.S. Administration of so many morons!
