[IOTWreport] On Friday evening, Kendi shared an article from The Hill noting that many white students applying to college falsely claim that they belong to racial minority groups — specifically, "to improve their chances of getting accepted" or "get minority-focused financial aid."
!snip!
Soon after, the idiot deleted the tweet when he realized that what he is saying is that white people are "posing as the ’oppressed" in order to improve their lives.
How can you have an industrial grievance machine when you’re admitting hat it’s white people that are disadvantaged?
[TWITTER]
Kendi deleted this tweet after a bunch of people pointed out it undermines his whole worldview that the US is an incredibly racist country where the system is rigged exclusively for White people. pic.twitter.com/eGY8idK8KM

[ColonelCassad] Having defeated the troops of Ethiopia on its territory, the army of the independent Tigray launched an attack on the central regions of Ethiopia, with the ultimate goal of reaching the capital of the country. Now battles have unfolded for the large city of Dessie.
The Ethiopian army is in a state of demoralization and partial decay, which leads to large losses, desertions and huge trophies from the Tygrai.In recent months, Ethiopia has lost more than 250 units of various equipment, which is destroyed or captured by the Tygrai army.
Several thousand soldiers surrendered - in 2021, the Tigray army holds the world record for the number of captured prisoners, even the Houthis were overtaken. Two divisions of the Ethiopian army virtually ceased to exist, two more suffered heavy losses.
But not so long ago Ethiopia controlled most of Tigray, including its capital. Disgracers. See the photos at the link
[AlAhram] Ongoing warfare in Marib, al-Bayda, Shabwah and elsewhere in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... has created one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world, second only to the manmade famine caused by the Æthiopian government’s war in the Tigray.
According to Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Deputy Emergency Relief Coordinator Ramesh Rajasingham, more than 20 million Yemenis, or two-thirds of the population, need assistance from aid agencies.

[RusOnline] After the military use of the Armed Forces of the Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drones in the Donbas, experts even started talking about the possibility of Russian air defense crews appearing in the conflict zone.
Vasily Kashin, a Russian political scientist and an employee of the Higher School of Economics, told Kommersant that if Kiev continues this use of drones in Donbass, countermeasures will inevitably follow to bring about a balance of power. The actions of the Ukrainian side will lead to the need for a sharp strengthening (rearmament) of the air defense of the DPR and LPR in order to clear the skies of the self-proclaimed republics from the presence of hostile drones. Either direct participation in their (DPR and LPR - ed.)
Air defense of the Russian armed forces will be required - Kashin explained the prospects. In turn, Konstantin Skorkin from the Carnegie Moscow Center explained Kiev's actions with a desire to “raise the enthusiasm” of Ukrainians. He recalled that during the Second Karabakh war, the mentioned drones showed themselves very well, becoming a "military sensation".
The victory of Baku inspired Kiev, which saw a model for the return of territories in Nagorno-Karabakh and decided to seize the opportunity. It is clear that this parallel is very stretched, since by nature the conflicts are different, but in Kiev they are looking for simple recipes - noted Skorkin. At the same time, an expert from the Russian International Affairs Council, Timur Akhmetov, who lives in Ankara, said that critics of the Turkish authorities urge Ankara to be more selective in the supply of weapons.
Especially when it comes to hot spots near Turkey. An error in the miscalculation of the risks of any supplies may affect the situation in other conflicts with Turkey's participation - thinks Akhmetov. He thinks that in the dialogue between Moscow and Ankara, a discussion of the supply of weapons will inevitably appear, since Russia can transfer its weapons into the hands of Turkey's enemies, symmetrically responding to the appearance of Turkish drones from Ukraine.
