Probably trying to deter Hezbollah as well.
It’s good they attached an AirTag to them. Otherwise they would have been lost forever.
This is like a day’s worth of artillery shells for them. Every bit helps.
I can only imagine how desperate and helpless an entire generation of children feel in Russia right now, with their fathers sent to die in a worthless war.
Republicans hold our own government hostage by refusing to pass continuing resolutions and allowing government debt to be paid. You expect them to give a damn about anyone else?
In the future, all restaurants are Taco Bell. Didn’t McDonalds see the movie Demolition Man? We need to freeze Sylvester Stallone already so we can thaw him out.
Fat Tony has been doing it for quite a while
When the primary medium of negotiation is of prisoner exchanges, I suppose you can expect humans to become currency.
Well there happens to be one man who qualifies.
Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput!
Never thought that Russia would become the Republic of Gilead, but I suppose they want to excel at something.
The fact that Trump presents such a threat to the world after four disasterous years as President, after attempting to tamper with the electoral college votes, voting machines, after publicly professing his admiration for criminals and despots, because of an elections and politicians that can be overtly bought because the Supreme Court, which itself has been corrupted by bribes and influence allows it to be, may just well bring down the Republic. We are at the point where wrapping oneself in the flag and spewing fascist screeds is considered patriotic, whereas preserving the Enlightenment principles on which the Republic was founded is considered dangerous and subversive. Even if Trump died today, another strongman, probably less stupid than Trump, would take his place, and likely succeed in destroying the Republic. The founders of this country could never have imagined the effects of hate-filled mass media on a population when their main means of information dissemination required imprinting and transporting paper.
The problem is that the Palestinians are stuck in Gaza because no one really cares about them. The Palestinians are more convenient as pawns to use in a proxy war against Israel (for example by Iran and Syria) than to actually achieve a permanent, stable arrangement. For Netanyahu, achieving a settlement alienates his base which wants to expel the Palestinians completely, and the conflict maintains anxiety that keeps him elected.
The problem is that politics do not stop at the border. Support for Ukraine has become yet another culture war, us-vs-them battleground. It doesn’t really matter what the issues are anymore, only that there has to be conflict over them to keep attention whores in the news cycle.
A country that is already fighting a war on its home turf is going to find it very hard to find the human and financial resources to build a large domestic arms industry. They probably will not prevail unless they receive foreign aid, both financial and military.
I’m just sayin… maybe Poland’s rhetoric about Ukraine lately has more to do with distracting the electorate from the Law and Justice party Cash for Visas scandal. It doesn’t seem in Poland’s interest to let a neighbor like Ukraine be compromised by the greatest strategic threat to Poland, and they and the Baltic states have the most to lose if Russia gets a further foothold in Eastern Europe. Domestic politics needs to stop at the border.
I like to lock them in a closed container together and let them fight it out.
In the hands of an ally like Ukraine, this is a powerful tool to bring the fight to the enemy.
However, in the bigger picture, this is probably going to be much more effective in asymmetric warfare against a major power like the United States or Russia as tragically shown in Jordan because it’s too easy for small actors to deploy. Big targets are much more vulnerable than small, mobile targets in such warfare.
