@kravietz daily bombings of Kharkiv clearly show they want to destroy the city and get the people to leave it. It’s heating infrastructure is completely destroyed so winter there will be unbearable. We can observe one of the largest city destructions ever. And it’s a beautiful city too.

Race and racism are inescapable in this country, unfortunately. Living in Kansas City, a couple years ago I heard this story on our local #NPR station about the man who invented #CashewChicken. He was an #Immigrant from #China who fought during #WW2 in the #USArmy & faced literal #terrorism when he opened a restaurant in #Springfield#Missouri. Not a #War correspondent from #Canada, but interesting nonetheless.
"FSB Launches Sweeping Purge of Military Elites With Kremlin’s Approval
The purge of top officers is the result of infighting between the #FSB and the military over the failure to capture Kyiv and competition for defense funds."
(IMO: Russia cannot stop, because it included 4 oblasts into its' territory: oblasts which it does not control. Russia can rechange it's constitution do undo the 5 annexations, including crimea, retreat, bring back the deported children and adults and pay reparations (all frozen assets and much more) and after Ukraine then immediately in NATO, then ruSSia can have a cease fire).
Gaza has began to attack Central Israel through rockets!
Will the war ever end?
A massive barrage of rockets targeted Tel Aviv and central Israel for the first time in months. The rockets were fired from Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip. https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-803682
To all the bad opinions regarding #gaza aid trucks from people who have never driven a truck:
Go to #Palestine and drive a truck through a #war zone, then report back.
The problem is finding #truck#drivers willing to risk their lives as the trucks are attacked by mobs of civilians standing around in a live fire war zone.
Skop – who has called the supreme court’s overturning of #RoevWade “a victory in the battle but not the end of the #war” – has argued in favor of forcing #rape and #incest#victims as young as nine or 10 to carry #pregnancies to term.
Perhaps someone can help with this problem... and help get more aid to Ukraine.
VIDEO: "Short on air defenses and waiting for more international military support, Ukraine is turning to improvised weapons to hold Russian soldiers back on the front line. DW's Nick Connolly met soldiers who are using agricultural drones to make up for missing firepower."
" Zelenskyy calls for NATO nations to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine
A key Finnish lawmaker previously told Breaking Defense that he would "embrace" such an idea. "
I'm reading about the end of the bronze age around the Aegean, Middle East and Egypt. The Bronze age in these areas was a time of alliances, trade and prosperity. Extreme weather conditions and displaced warriors brought an abrupt end to this. Luckily it's a history book with absolutely no scary echoes for now #climate#peace#war#foodSecurity
Citing four Russian sources: Russian President Vladimir Putin is ready to stop the war in Ukraine with a negotiated ceasefire recognizing the current battle lines.
Is this anything new? Putin gets rewarded for his land grab, rebuilds, then tries again in a few years?
