According to local authorities, passengers were evacuating from Bilopillia as it is constantly attacked by Russia.

"The circumstances are determined above all by Putin's war of aggression against Europe. It is a war against Europe and not just a war against the territorial integrity of Ukraine⤵️

Several months ago, I needed to update my book with a new chapter about how the war was ongoing in Ukraine. It was one of the most difficult writing experiences. As there is no black and white in this war any more. On Dec 3, the paperback with the update will be out, you can already order it online

Lieutenant Colonel Evgeniy Borisovich Ladnov, commander of the 19th Tank Regiment, was reportedly eliminated by a drone.
He is known from the case of the execution of 6 soldiers who refused to go on a mass attack.
More likely, he was killed by his own soldiers...

Please help me finish my Safe Skies project. It funds a passive drone detection system, one that is already protecting four Ukrainian regions and is now being extended to another four.

"The Palestinian people are in a unique position: they are the only people living under military occupation who are expected to ensure the security of their occupier." - Avi Shlaim, a Jewish Israeli-British Historian
All that remains
Israel has brought death and destruction to Gazans many times. But in retaliation for Hamas’s terrorist acts, it has raised the possibility of something much worse than before: ethnic cleansing

Nice end to a year of incredible decline for Elon Musk. He trashed Twitter, blew up his SpaceX rocket, and Tesla is struggling against rising competition.

We do not need him to build a better world. In truth, he stands in the way of achieving one.

A few weeks ago I skeeted about the Bhopal disaster (1984) which is considered the world's worst industrial disaster.

It was caused by Union Carbide.

This week I learned about the Hawk's Nest Tunnel disaster (1930), which is considered the worst *US* Industrial disaster.
