this is the first assessment i've seen giving any 'victor' in the recent india/pakistan war;

The world just witnesses a shockingly one-sided air war between Pakistan and India last week. Pakistan air force, equipped with Chinese weapon systems, took down a large number of India air combat assets while suffering zero loss.

The air battle featured Chinese-made J-10C fighters, PL-15 air to air missiles, HQ-9 air defense system, and ZDK-03 AWACS. Reported India losses included 3 French-made Rafale fighters, 1 Russia-made Su-30, 1 MiG-29, and 1 Israel-made Heron UAV.

What makes the outcome so shocking is that the Rafale fighter, sold to India at $240 million each, is often lauded as the most advanced European fighter jet, didn’t manage to put up any fight in the confrontation with J-10C. The Mica and Meteor air-to-air missiles carried by Rafale were discovered intact/unfired in the wreckage.

J-10C, by no means a backward fighter, is considered as well past its prime in the Chinese air force whose more advanced fighters include J-20, J-35 (both 5th generation stealth fighters), J-16, J-15 (4.5th generation multirole fighters), let alone the 6th generation fighters (J-36 and J-50) that are being tested.

J-10C is mainly for exports these days. Pakistan has acquired them at $40 million per unit. A few Middle Eastern nations are also considering the jet, including Egypt. Typically Chinese military export is one or one and a half generation behind what the PLA equips itself.

In all fairness, Rafale would be a strong match against J-10C in a head-to-head dog fight. At $240 million, it is even for more expensive than F-35.

Then, how did the Indian air force suffer such a humiliating one-sided loss against a much smaller Pakistan air force?.........more.......

 a good start and way past due;

Israel is in "total panic" that they're going to be the next US "ally" dropped by the Trump administration, according to the Washington Post.

From The Washington Post, "Trump repeatedly bypasses Netanyahu, stoking dismay among Israelis":

JERUSALEM — During his first major overseas trip this week, President Donald Trump is set to visit three countries in the Middle East — Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates — without stopping in Jerusalem.

It's not the first time he has bypassed Israel — or Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

From embarking on nuclear talks with Iran to attempting hostage talks with Hamas without Israel's knowledge, Trump has increasingly sidelined Netanyahu, stoking anxieties in a country long accustomed to being consulted by successive U.S. administrations.

Last week, Israelis believed they saw more cracks emerge between the "America First" president and Israel, after Trump said he had struck a truce with Yemen's Houthi rebels that curbed the group's attacks on U.S. ships — but did not cover Israel. Days later, reports emerged that Trump was considering offering Saudi Arabia access to civil nuclear technology without demanding that the kingdom normalize relations with Israel, a precondition that had been set by former president Joe Biden............more......

British PM Admits UK Being Engulfed in the Camp of the Saints

Paul Craig Roberts

PM Keir Starmer said immigrant-invaders are turning Britain into an “island of strangers.”  He blames the Conservatives  for betraying the British people for cheap foreign labour that is “pulling our country apart.” Unlimited immigration has inflicted “incalculable damage” on Great Britain.  Starmer promises to reduce annual inflows by 100,000.  His program seems to be to reduce the rate at which England is becoming an “island of strangers,” not to stop the process.  The white birth rate is falling, and that of the immigrant-invaders is rising.  Before long there will be no more white countries.  The leaders of the white ethnicities thought delivering their countries into the hands of invaders was “the moral thing to do,” a clear indication that the West’s belief system has been destroyed.  Upon its new foundations the West is constructing a Sodom & Gomorrah Tower of Babel.

Care4Calais, an activist group for immigrant-invaders, accused Starmer of “fanning the fire of the far-right,” by using “shameful and dangerous language.”  Countries based on ethnicity and common values are unacceptable to the liberal-left.  Multiculturalism means a Tower of Babel, disunity, and as the immigrant-invaders gain power persecution of the remaining white population.  The Camp of the Saints is now upon us just as Jean Raspail predicted in 1973.  In the US the judiciary won’t allow President Trump to enforce the law and deport illegal aliens.

How can a country with no sense of itself beyond a geographical location that cannot defend its borders go to war with countries that know who they are, such as Russia, China, and Iran?  For whom is a Tower of Babel fighting?..........https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2025/05/12/british-pm-admits-uk-being-engulfed-in-the-camp-of-the-saints/
