Apparently, Russian soldiers in the SMO have a life expectancy 40 to 70 times shorter than the most extreme figure anyone has ever attached to the bloodiest urban battle in human history (Soviet soldiers in Stalingrad in autumn 1942)
To paraphrase Mohammed Al-Kurd:
In one part of the world, we have mothers complaining about being threatened by some words on a tshirt.
In another part of the world, we have mothers searching through the rubble for their dead children.
Guess who receives more attention?
The captain of Iran’s National Team, Mehdi Taremi, calls out FIFA and the U.S.:
“This is a disaster World Cup. We can’t stay in the country and have to travel every time we play without any recovery. Now we can’t stay in Seattle and have to return to Tijuana. This is not fair.”
Nothing unusual here, just Yuriy Syrota, chief sergeant of the battalion of unmanned systems of the 5th Separate Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine threatening its European neighbors with military action on Ukrainian TV:
"After the war, I wouldn't advise our partners to press claims against Ukraine.
The guys will return from the war with shattered psyches. If some Hungarian says something inappropriate, the ambassador won't come to him – a (Ukrainian soldier) will come, and it will end badly.
Do our allies really want to see our soldiers instead of our migrant workers?
Are the Poles now ready for war with Ukrainians?
Are the Poles ready for Ukrainian drones flying over their cities?
Are the Poles ready for the deaths of their own citizens? We will not yield. I wouldn't advise them to cross the red line."
The "rising tide of antisemitism' scam exposed, once again. Florida prosecutors seek a significant prison term for Israeli Michael Ron David Kadar, convicted of making *thousands of hoax threats* against Jewish community centers, schools, and airlines.

They've been doing this for years beacuse their architects failed to take sufficient account of material expansion.
Attributing the costs of poor design & maintenance to anything else is what's gross.
This bridge, Brug over de Noord, was opened in 1937. In 2020 the deck was shortened by 1cm to account for heat expansion. It seems that was insufficient to deal with the weather.
"Beaten as a preventive measure."
That's the caption accompanying a photo from Ukraine's Skelia Regiment, published by journalist Kateryna Lykhohliad.
The scandal surrounding the unit is only growing. Social media is filling with testimonies from people whose relatives and friends were allegedly tortured—or even murdered by their own commanders—while serving in Skelia.
MP Maryana Bezuhla claims that both President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi have been aware of these allegations for over a year.
Yet no one has been brought to justice.
📢 "The majority of Democrats want to end military aid to Israel and stop the genocide in Gaza." - @kai_newkirk, candidate for Congress in Arizona's 4th district
Maryland, look at this piece of shit representing Israel First, instead of you. That's what happens when you elect an @AIPAC owned candidate. Glenn Ivey @RepGlennIvey is a traitorous shill for the Israel First Agenda.
America First! 🇺🇸🫡
Ravi Drucker, host of a popular program on Israeli Channel 13:
"The Israeli plan in Lebanon is to divide the country and plunge it into a civil war to force the Lebanese government into a military confrontation with Hezbullah."
