Armita Garawand war erst 16. Ein Kind, eine Schülerin - ein ganzes Leben lag noch vor ihr. Die Brutalität des Regimes hat ihre Zukunft geraubt.

Die Zukunft Irans ist seine Jugend. Die Zukunft Irans sind seine Frauen. Ihren Drang nach Freiheit kann das Regime nicht unterdrücken.

Details of US-supplied Zuni rockets on a Ukrainian Army Aviation Mi-24 - adapter is visible. Typically used on fixed wing aircraft in the US military though still effective on a helicopter.

Also, PM Fico was forced to resign because a journalist Jan Kuciak who basically investigated the high-profile corruption in Slovakia (especially related to Fico's party) was murdered
It was rich to hear Fico call Ukraine corrupt after he had just demanded a bribe to vote to release EU aid money to Ukraine.

Anyone else notice how much he looks like Orban. They must be twins.

An interesting interview on Finnish morning radio yesterday with DefMin Häkkänen.

- Israel was attacked sees itself under existential threat, full right to defend
- geographical and demographic conditions in Gaza are such that avoiding civilian casualties impossible…

The 2,000-person 110th neither is Ukraine’s most experienced brigade nor its best-equipped. But right now, it has arguably the hardest and most important job in Ukraine’s war effort: holding Avdiivka.

Looks like Romania might be learning from the Bulgarian example for a change.

Among a flurry of tax introductions/hikes, natural gas transit fee will go from 0.4% to 10% of its cost, a 25-fold (or is it 24-fold @steamtraen.bsky.social?) increase.

Will Szijjarto complain from Minsk this time? 🙃

Die Machtübernahme durch Fico hat für die UA relativ begrenzte Auswirkungen. Er macht jetzt viel Lärm, aber mit dem Machtwechsel in Polen ist auch sein Einfluss nicht übertrieben gross geworden.

Luckily the previous government already sent most of the legacy kit including all the MiG-29s and the S-300 battery.

Most of what would be sent now is ammo, including ammo madde by CSG - but IIRC Fico's friend runs it.

A potential negative effect: Orban might have a co-vetoer against EU funds.

Side-Note; the term "Swindling" was originally coined as a short-hand to refer to these outrageous carriage fares.

I can’t describe how sick it makes me.

It’s as if your dear one is in surgery, and a whole crowd stands next to you demanding “Just pull the damn plug! Electricity ain’t cheap!”

Who are these humans?
How did they become so inhumane?

This is a point that often goes missing.👇 Orban, the champion of sovereignty looked anything but sovereign in the ring of his new authoritarian friends. And that makes the EU’s problem even more dire.

I can see a lot of ways in which, both literally and figuratively the fog of war can give rise to a chloropicrin claim.

Indeed, mistaking a tear gas for something more sinister is one of the reasons that the Chemical Weapons Convention bans tear gas in warfare.

Some tweets about this stuff use these claims to also claim "XYZ unit doesn't have masks". Let me see if I can explain this is clear language: If true, you are highlighting a vulnerability to the enemy and you need to not do that.
