This is a feature that Dahua calls, rather chillingly, ‘Real Time Uyghur Warnings’. Only last week, the extent of China’s human rights atrocities against Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang Province were laid bare in a UN report, which found that there was ‘credible evidence’ of torture, possibly amounting to ‘crimes against humanity’.
These included rape, water-boarding, injecting Uygurs against their will and strapping them to torture aids known as ‘tiger chairs’.

[KavkazUzel] Ramzan Kadyrov's words about indefinite leave and possible resignation are not connected with his demand to reconsider the decision to ban the publication of the Sahih al-Bukhari collection, Ruslan Kutaev pointed out. The statement of the head of Chechnya is a game, as a result of which he will get the desired result in any case, Aleksey Malashenko noted.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on September 3, Ramzan Kadyrov said that he had "stayed too long" as the head of Chechnya and was ready to resign. He clarified that he "well deserved an indefinite and long vacation." The Kremlin saw Kadyrov's message about a possible resignation, but this "hasn't materialized yet," presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on September 4. "So far we proceed from the fact that he continues to lead the Chechen Republic," he said.

[REGNUM] "Shameful" German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier called the fact that the relatives of Israeli athletes who died in the terrorist attack at the Olympics in Munich in 1972 received compensation only now - after 50 years. He stated this during a meeting with Israeli President Chaim Herzog, who is in Germany on an official visit.
“The fact that it took 50 years to reach this agreement (on the payment of compensation - ed.) is really shameful,” Polskoye Radio reports Steinmeier’s words .
Earlier, at the end of August, it was announced that an agreement had been reached between the families of the dead athletes and the German government on the payment of compensation. The German government has acknowledged its responsibility - 23 Israeli families will receive compensation totaling 28 million euros.
“For too long, we have refused to acknowledge the pain of those who have lost loved ones. And for too long we did not want to admit that we also bear our share of responsibility, ”said the German president, newsru.ru reports.
On September 5, 1972, during the XX Olympic Games, which were held in Munich, eight Palestinian terrorists from the Black September group entered the premises where Israeli athletes lived. In doing so, they killed two athletes and took nine as hostages. In an unsuccessful attempt to free the hostages by the German police, all the hostages, five terrorists and one policeman were killed.

B-52 is a nightmare without any nukes aboard. I read VC tales of being on the wrong side of rolling thunder in fairly deep bunkers and 10 feet of topsoil overturned and it sounded pretty horrific even when they knew it was coming

My dad has told me of taking those VC prisoner after a B-52 made an appearance. Very shaken is a nice way of putting it of how they felt at the time.

...There is a wonderful - and true - story from Operation Desert Storm, where soon after the ground war started an Iraqi LT COL surrendered his entire regiment, essentially untouched and marching them some distance to do it.
Once everyone was settled in, the intel guys sat down with the LT COL and asked him why he had surrendered.
His answer was short and direct: "The B-52s."
The intel guys checked their paperwork, then replied, "But your unit was never hit by the B-52s."
"I know," the colonel answered. "But I saw the ones that were."
