“For us in Russia, communism is a dead dog, while, for many people in the West, it is still a living lion”. – Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

When Israel pulled its WW3 instigating attack. I wrote this below…
But Russia which is more patient than “Job from the Bible”, has calmly investigated what happened and called all parties to the carpet over it. Instead of WW3 we have a getting more pissed by the minute Russia….pissed and asking questions that come to the point of the matter…
Israel does not normally acknowledge its airstrikes in Syria, at least not until much later. However, the IDF made a rare immediate admission of responsibility on Tuesday, after the Russian Defense Ministry identified Israeli F-16 jets as taking part in the attack, and said the Il-20 aerial observation platform vanished from radars during the strike.
I have come to the conclusion that Israel, Britain, France and America are the biggest loose canons and no one, but no one is in control of those countries….but one thing is obvious; They want war and more war to boot…
May the world thank Russia for not reacting as the West wants her to….Russia understands that America and cronies are mental sick and you never know what triggers the situation. The world is having a balance issue and China and Russia are trying to get it back inline…
There really is a large group of people all over the world trying to upset the apple cart…

Israel finally admitted to carrying out over 200 such missions over the past 18 months, only a few of which ever made any kind of international media, recently. And with the sneak attack on Latakia which involved using a Russian IL-20 ELINT war plane as radar cover Israel has now not only raised the stakes to an unacceptable level, it has also ensured that this may be the last such aerial assault it will ever be able to carry out.

China’s richest man said the dispute could last 20 years and persist beyond the presidency of Donald Trump, as the world’s two strongest economic powers battle for global supremacy. China needs to strengthen its economy to deal with the conflict and shift trade relations from the U.S. to regions like Southeast Asia and Africa, the chairman of Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. said during a speech at the company’s investor day conference in Hangzhou.
“Short term, business communities in China, U.S., Europe will all be in trouble,” Ma said, pacing a stage in an open white dress shirt and punctuating his remarks with forceful jabs. “This thing will last long. If you want a short-term solution, there is no solution.”
His comments came just hours after China vowed to retaliate against U.S. plans to levy tariffs on about $200 billion in Chinese goods. Ma said Alibaba will also be affected by the rising tensions, given its wholesale business allows American merchants to source products from China. But he also said the trauma will offer unprecedented opportunities for companies that can take advantage of them.
China Vows to Retaliate After Trump’s $200 Billion Tariff Hit
“We should not focus on this quarter or next quarter or next year’s profit. This is a huge opportunity,” he said. “If Alibaba cannot sustain and grow, no company in China can grow. I’m 100 percent confident in that.”
Ma’s remarks carry particular weight because he is an icon of Chinese innovation and has been seen as an ambassador to the U.S. Last year, he met with Trump and promised to create 1 million jobs in the U.S. through 2021.
But Ma, a week after he announced plans to hand over the chairman role to Chief Executive Officer Daniel Zhang, left no doubt Tuesday about his support for his own country. If the U.S. insists on levying tariffs on Chinese goods, then China should shift its business to the rest of the world, he said.
“When problems come, learn how to hide, learn how to train,” he said. “I believe Daniel and his team will have the wisdom to fight for the future.”
How Jack Ma Made Rich Capitalists Acceptable in Communist China
Ma’s speech underscored the void he will be leaving when he steps down in a year’s time. His soliloquy was accentuated by comments on everything from geopolitical gambits to the importance of self-awareness on individual limits.
He even took a jab at competitor JD.com Inc.’s founder Richard Liu — while rebutting the idea he was forced out of the company. Ma said he received many queries from acquaintances, including questions on whether he was experiencing a “Minnesota” situation, a reference to current rape allegations that JD’s Liu is facing. That elicited a burst of laughter from the crowd.
Ma said he was confident of leaving the company in the hands of Zhang as the CEO bolsters Alibaba’s ambitions in e-commerce, so-called new retail and entertainment. Those initiatives will help sustain revenue growth for the financial year ending in March of 60 percent, a figure that Chief Financial Officer Maggie Wu first disclosed in May. That kind of growth will likely help Alibaba outpace its global peers, she added.
With $80 billion worth of strategic investments planted, Vice Chairman Joe Tsai said the company is nowhere near finished with deals. Some of Alibaba’s most expensive investments have been spearheaded by Zhang– including at least $8 billion worth of deals for traditional chains that underpin efforts to reinvent retailing in China.

The Russian Defense Ministry held a press conference to discuss the destruction of a Russian military aircraft with people on board off the coast of Syria, which happened at the same time that Israeli and French forces were mounting aerial attacks on targets in Syria.The Il-20 aircraft has been downed by Syrian military forces after Israel jets put it under attack off the Syrian coast, Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov stated. According to the spokesman, the Israeli jets delibe
So, it seems by what I know about war is that Israel used the Il-20 as cover and sent missiles to attack Syrian army positions. Israel knew full well that Syria would defend itself and let the Russian craft (only a cargo craft) take the hit…

FlashFire is the most advanced on-device firmware flasher available for rooted Android devices. It can flash full firmware packages from various manufacturers, as well as apply over-the-air (OTA) and ZIP updates – all while maintaining root, and without using a custom recovery. It also offers full device backup and restore functionalities in several formats. Relevant files can be stored on internal storage, SD cards, USB connected storage, or can even be streamed directly to and from your computer…

That above is where to find what I will talk about…
x7 Edge
Today I have concluded several weeks worth of serious flashing of Android ROMs, be they custom and or stock firmware. I have worked on three phones, all different as night and day….but all android…
I just finished my final flash on a Galaxy s7 Edge and I did it only with root, no recovery such as TWRP and or CWM. I had stock s7 Oreo recovery and just a simple root done by CF-Auto-Root….no install recovery to aid in flashing…
I just flashed a Sac23 ROM for the s7. I will stay with this ROM. This is the third time on this particular phone, I have flashed from a stock Oreo Android firmware and went straight to a custom ROM without anything but root! I wanted to verify that it was not a fluke…
This link https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development has given me dozens of ROMs to flash and I flashed dozens only by using Flashfire. All worked within their limitations. Many of the ROMs are not worth being a daily driver, but the Sac23’s are…

- Hisense A2
The above phones are the other two phones I used to flash the same way…
I will not go into details how to do this, for if you are trying such experiments as flashing with Flashfire, you better know exactly what you are doing…exception is this information below…
Tell Flashfire to mount partitions read and write, before flashing. It was the only way I could get anything to work consistently…
- Auto-mount – Mount common paths before running update. Not usually necessary. Enable for A/B device OTAs, disable for all other OTAs. Some versions of the Xposed installer require this option to be enabled.
- Mount /system read/write – Mount /system read/write by default, rather than read-only. Doing this only once may break future OTAs. Enable when flashing custom firmwares. Some versions of the Xposed installer require this option to be enabled.
- Restore boot and recovery images – Attempt to restore stock boot and recovery images before flashing. May be required for some OTAs. Disable for non-OTA updates.
SuperSU and Chainfire…
I do not tell you to do this and I expect you to do some serious homework before flashing Android in the first place. I have worked on Androids for many many years now and love a challenge. But, I have fried several phones in my time, called bricking them and some never come back to life…
This information is for someone who has TWRP’ed and CWM’ed your phones and flashed constantly like a monkey who swings through trees. I needed something different and needed to expand my knowledge…
I want to thank Chainfire for his development work on Android over the years….I have learned a lot…
Developers like Chainfire and Sac23 are the reason that us less intelligent have the ability to lean about things, such as Android…
Have a nice day…
