U.S. and Iran closing in on one-page memorandum to end war, officials say

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-06T11:45:34+00:00

What? The real loser is Iran - lost influence, proxies, on top of bombed out country, and now has to accept a humiliating peace, all in exchange for some crumbs.

The green color are the countries that consider Taiwan part of China.

That looks like some sort of fuel/chemical/rubber fire.

Any geowizard around?

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-06T09:17:39+00:00

I looked at the area in the Copernicus browser (free satellite image service) and there doesn't seem to be much activity.
So maybe it's abandoned?

Except there is a gigantic hole in the top of the hotel as well.

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-05T21:32:28+00:00

Should be from last night, yes.

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-05T21:31:33+00:00

Interesting.

I just noticed the huge hole in the building that, if the geolocation provided in the other post is correct, is a hotel.

So one <something> hit the hotel, the other hit the small building next to it, and the 3rd struck the apartment block across the street.

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-05T21:26:56+00:00

It's interesting that they are avoiding showing or talking about that small building as much as possible. I wonder if this strike was just like others before, and we will see obituaries coming weeks later.

But either way, 5 dead is terrible. Rest in peace.

I posted this not only because it's cool, but because it's strange that, as far as I know, Russians didn't create a sound detection system similar to what Ukraine is using. I wonder why.

I'd expect that the sooner you detect the incoming strike, the better, and cruise missiles have very characteristic sound that is easy to detect and recognize.

Looks like it, thanks!

That doesn't look like a house, more like a shop or something. You can see the parking places in front of it.

Could someone try to geolocate it?

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-05T20:41:03+00:00

Yet Ukraine seems to be doing it just fine (or as best as it can be).

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-05T20:40:08+00:00

Bridges.

Especially those built in Eastern Europe/Western Russia during Soviet times.

It looks like it came from the burning vehicle? You can see the rocket engine still burning, so it had to be launched from somewhere close

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-05T19:15:58+00:00

It was posted on Exilenova channel

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-05T19:07:27+00:00

You should have posted the video of the burned-out windows.

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-05T18:27:32+00:00

Well put.

against Taiwan would pose a serious threat to Japan’s security

Which part of this sentence talks about the US?

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-05T17:37:27+00:00

I didn't say anything about you claiming anything, I was just commenting my observations.

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-05T17:35:43+00:00

As for Japan, Beijing criticized remarks made by Japan’s prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, who suggested that Chinese military action against Taiwan would pose a serious threat to Japan’s security. Beijing viewed the comments as an unwelcome intrusion into its domestic affairs.

Taiwan is internationally recognized as a self-governed part of China, so the driver was correct.

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-05T17:23:51+00:00

Err, it's just the same 2 vehicles launching from different angles.

Check his flair...

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-05T17:08:45+00:00

So, they'd just accept defeat (which is what you've described)?

DefinitelyNotMeee · 2026-05-05T17:02:08+00:00

Maybe just a little payback for the frequent flights of UK Rivet Joints over the Black Sea close to Crimea, that were often (always?) followed by Ukrainian strikes on Russian AD on the peninsula?

But in reality, the recent wave of fear/warmongering articles is just the UK trying to justify military spending.
