[PJMedia] There was a major problem with the 2020 Census, and most people probably haven’t heard about it, even though it has enormous implications. At the end of May, the Census Bureau admitted that it miscounted 14 states in the 2020 Census.
Why didn’t the media make a big stink about this story? Maybe it was overshadowed by the recent mass shootings, that’s certainly a possibility, but I have another theory.
Here are the states that the Census acknowledged it overcounted: Hawaii, Delaware, Rhode Island, Minnesota, New York, and Massachusetts.
Here are the states that the Census acknowledged it undercounted: Texas, Illinois, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas.
Well, gee, isn’t that interesting. Does it seem like a mere bizarre coincidence that the overcounted states all voted for Biden in 2020, and five of the six undercounted states for Trump in 2020?
"Last week’s Census Bureau announcement of serious errors will impact the next decade’s congressional apportionment and delegations, and play a crucial role in the presidential race," explained Kristin Tate at The Hill. "Given the nature of the mistakes, Democrats could hang onto the presidency under particularly controversial circumstances due to publicly-acknowledged errors."
The changes will impact national politics in a dramatic fashion. The 2020 census led to significant changes to congressional seats apportioned to states. Texas gained two congressional seats, while North Carolina, Florida, Montana, Colorado and Oregon each gained one. New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois and California each lost one seat in Congress. There was significant surprise that population growth winners such as Texas and Florida didn’t gain more seats. With the possible exception of Illinois not losing a seat, the likely effects of an accurate count would have overwhelmingly aided red states. Simply put, the revised figures show that (mostly) red states had even quicker relative population growth compared to the rest of the country — and especially compared to (mostly) blue states. It is entirely possible that undercounted states could have gained at least one seat in Congress, while overcounted states may have lost at least one each. All institutions are completely corrupt at this point. Burn them all down.

The article links to the Census Bureau report. It looks like they’re comparing actual counts with self-response rates against what they expect based on computer models. Oddly enough, the South had a lower than expected number of self-responses — I assume that means the number of returned survey forms. PDF —executive summary is on page 8.

Going to guess lots of fraudulent census self-reports were sent in, just like mail-in ballots.

My Fancy Scientific Statistical Model™ shows there are 300 500 million previously uncounted citizens living in my garage ...and they all voted to elect me for President-For-Life! See how simple this makes politics...?!?
When they started "adjusting" the Census numbers it became a farce.
[Nadin Brzezinski] (Ed note: since these posts came straight from Russian sources like Reverse Side of the Medal, city name spelling uses the Russian translation, not Ukrainian)
It is important to understand that a three-day war that’s lasted for 100 days is causing issues in Russia. It is obvious that military bloggers are very unhappy with the path this war has taken. Ergo, some internal resistance is growing, even in places that could surprise most observers.
But it is deeper than that, not only are Mercs discussing the fate of the war. Other channels are starting to argue why Russia24 and people like Margarita Simoyan and Vladimir Solovyov are effective in the pro-war propaganda.
The first is a discussion on Telegram that linked to how that propaganda is done. The link is here, you can hit translate, and will give you the article in English.
Here is a critical point made by this piece.
Skillful distortion of facts is not the main factor in the success of propaganda. Facts are secondary here. Propaganda appeals to the emotions and feelings of people, so the propaganda tool is universal and works great for both religious fanatics of the East and enlightened Europeans.
Agitators play on the basic need for belonging (“our nation is the greatest and the one”); existential fear of the future — it is directed at a specific enemy, internal or external (“all evil is from Americans / Ukrainians / Jews”); they turn anger and dissatisfaction into the idea of retribution: “we were treated unfairly, they will answer for it!”.
Facts don’t matter, though there are a few used in the mix. This is why Russians have gone from having some doubts to embracing the whole thing. However, that might start to break as the reality of the war comes home.
In the Telegram channel they made a few other important points:
Propaganda relies on the delusions and fears that citizens already have — on the virtual reality that mistakenly seems to be reality. “If a person “sees” that the whole world is ruled by Jews, he will see it everywhere. If a person sees that we are at war with the Nazis, he will see these Nazis, especially since they will be shown on TV.”

From my contact in Vietnam,"Residential areas of the Donetsk were shelled by the new US M777 howitzers wounding and killing many. Ukraine knows there are no military facilities in the area". During the Vietnam war my contact was active in security work there. He also married a Vietnamese woman and is with her now. Took two years for him to go back because of the covid business.

Articles like this ones are the mental gymnastics of the arrogant loser… Russians are immensely happy about their future and economic prospects and prosperity in the new economic world.
The reality is, members of the Ukrainian army units describe hopeless situations, and are calling for declare a retreat or call out their commanders for neglect. Thousands and thousands of Ukrainian soldiers are surrendering and denouncing their commanders, videos are for all to see.
Morale is so bad because those troops do not fare well.

Last July, a new law went into effect in Washington state that was described as "police reform." House Bill 1054 made significant changes in how the police are allowed to do their jobs. Police unions had been protesting the measure, saying that it would negatively impact their ability to control crime, but the state’s Democrats cheered the bill as a way to bring more "equity" into the system. One of the changes put in place by the bill was a rule saying the police officers were no longer allowed to engage in high-speed chases except in very limited circumstances. In other words, if the cops see a driver doing something wrong and turn on their sirens and flashers but the motorist doesn’t pull over, there isn’t much they can do about it. To the great surprise of nobody with an IQ higher than tepid water, motorists have begun ignoring the police in increasing numbers and simply refusing to pull over.
[The Lid] While our intelligence-deprived liar-in-chief blames Russian dictator Vlad Putin for the Bidenflation, that claim is about as real as the tooth fairy, monsters in the closet, and my six-pack abs. The truth is thanks to Joe Biden’s failed policies, millions of Americans will no longer be able to retire at the time they had hoped to, according to a report.
The latest report from the BMO Real Financial Progress Index shows that Biden has seriously hurt millions of Americans who hoped to retire soon.
As reported in The Blaze:
"Nearly 60% of those surveyed said that inflation has adversely affected their personal finances, of which about one in four said that they have felt a major impact," the group said. "As a result of inflation, 36% of Americans have reduced their savings and 21% have reduced their retirement savings. A quarter of Americans will need to delay their retirement. Younger Americans are feeling the most impact — over 60% of those aged 18-34 said they had to reduce contributions to their savings."
This survey of more than 3,400 adults was conducted from March 30 to April 25.
Prices on a range of goods and services have soared since President Joe Biden took office, with energy costs leading the way. The latest data on the consumer price index, a key marker of inflation produced by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, has reported the highest inflation rate in four decades.
"The all items index increased 8.3 percent for the 12 months ending April, a smaller increase than the 8.5-percent figure for the period ending in March," BLS said. "The all items less food and energy index rose 6.2 percent over the last 12 months. The energy index rose 30.3 percent over the last year, and the food index increased 9.4 percent, the largest 12-month increase since the period ending April 1981."
Of course, this mess of Biden’s is also seriously hurting people nowhere near retiring. Everyone is hurting. Biden is a failure who is destroying the lives of every American, and most especially the lives of the lower and middle classes.

Question: But aren't all retirees, not just those planning to, doing the same?
Being retired now 21 years this Sept. We have had to make some serious and interesting downward changes the last 2 years in our spending and travel budgets.
With Gas up 110+%, food items up anywhere from 9+ to 26+% depending on the item, along with growing spot item food shortages.
I expect we'll see a lot more late night accidental Restaurants fires after closing.

When you look at Demokrat policy through the prism of any positive impact on the entire American people as incidental to the empowerment and enrichment of themselves, it all makes perfect sense.

This is serious. Truckers especially independent truckers are parking their rigs. 70% of grocery products are delivered by trucks. I see FEDEX drivers running up fuel bills of at least 150 dollars at a time and diesel 250. Adding on delivery charges that will never go away as long as stores will pay. Motor home $2000 dollars to fill up. one side tank of dump truck 250 one day and 550 the next day for same side tank. I say again. Independent truckers are parking their rigs. Not worth it anymore to drive. They might as well have put a terrorist in office as president.
[Powerline] Proponents of instructing small children in perverse sexual practices get offended when people point out that the children are being groomed. But what else can you call it? The invaluable Libs of TikTok has documented not just one or two, but numerous elementary school teachers who proudly boast of what can only be termed grooming of their pre-teen students. They really do want your children, and for much the same reasons.
Then we have the Drag the Kids to Pride event that was held yesterday in a Texas gay bar:
A Texas gay bar hosted a "Drag the Kids to Pride" event where drag queen dancers provocatively gyrated in front of children as young as toddlers. ...
The Mr. Misster gay bar in downtown Dallas hosted the drag queen event aimed at children.
***
"Our under 21 guests can enjoy a special Mr. Misster Mocktails while the moms and dads can sip on one of our classic Mr. Misster Mimosa Towers," the poster reads. "Do you want to hit the stage with the queens? We have FIVE limited spots for young performers to take the stage solo, or with a queen of their choosing! Come hangout with the Queens and enjoy this unique pride experience, fit for guests of all ages!"
At the link, you can see a number of appalling videos. Here are two of them. These kids are obviously being groomed into a gay lifestyle. Note the neon sign: "It’s not gonna lick itself." Another sign in the bar said, "I licked it so it’s mine."

[GoBankingRates] Formerly known as food stamps, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is the most important anti-hunger initiative in America. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), SNAP provided food security to about 41.5 million people in 2021, with an average benefit of $218.14 per person.
That’s per month, not per year.
Recipients use Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards to receive funds and make purchases, and they can use those cards to buy a whole lot more than just standard groceries. Here’s a look at some of the more unusual things that SNAP will pay for.

That’s absolutely what is done. I don’t know the exchange rate, but EBT is sold at a discounted rate. $50 cash for $100 worth of food stamps for example. At a place I once worked it was party time every month. They would wheel and deal over who would pay the most cash. “I’ll give you 10 for 20. I’ll give you 12 for 20.” Things like that. Look up Bone Thugs n Harmony some ng First of the Month. I think it was Chris Rock who talked about it being a Welfare Carol.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] U.S. President Joe Biden will issue a proclamation on Monday that will allow solar panels to be imported to the United States from Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia and Vietnam without risk of tariffs for a 24-month period, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters.
The action comes amid concern about the impact of the U.S. Commerce Department's months-long investigation into whether imports of solar panels from the four Southeast Asian nations are circumventing tariffs on goods made in China.
We’ll assume that’s a yes, then. Goody.

[Breitbart] The populist Sweden Democrats (SD) have called for the repatriation of Syrians, Afghans, and Somalis, noting their rate of unemployment and high numbers who have not integrated.
Party leader Jimmie Åkesson and migration policy spokesman Ludvig Aspling have said the Swedish government needs to do more to return migrants to their homelands if they rely on state benefits and do not integrate.
“Since 2010, Sweden has granted over 1.2 million residence permits, equivalent to more than a brand new Stockholm. Unemployment is almost five times higher among foreign-born compared to native-born,” the pair wrote in a debate article for the newspaper Aftonbladet.
The pair add that among Syrians, Afghans, and Somalis, half of the adults earn incomes less than 100,000 Swedish kronor (£8,189/$10,235) per year, and that among foreign-born residents in general some 600,000 are not self-sufficient.
“Remigration is not a miracle solution, but the failures of recent decades show that it must be an option – a solution for all those who live in long-term exclusion,” they said, noting that while Sweden does have a subsidy for those wishing to return to their home countries it is seldom used.
“Incentive structures and the welfare system must be reformed, so that people in exclusion cannot get caught up in welfare dependency, but are either forced into society or encouraged to remigrate,” they wrote.
Åkesson and Aspling also cited the Danish approach to repatriating migrants, quoting Danish government minister Mattias Tesfaye, who has previously stated his goal is that Denmark would receive zero asylum seekers.
The concept of remigration was also used by former French presidential candidate Eric Zemmour during his campaign earlier this year. The populist said that he wished to create a new government ministry specifically to deal with the issue.
Zemmour proposed to send at least a million migrants back to their countries over a period of five years. A poll released in late March revealed that around two-thirds of French people supported a mass remigration of illegals, foreigners on terrorist watchlists, and foreign criminals.

I doubt Biden wants to negotiate. He could care less if Russians and Ukrainians are getting killed.
I don't see why the Pentagon or anybody else would trust the Ukrainians with Javelins or long range launchers. The US will see them again in a wrong situation.

It is the psychology of the bully on display. Outwardly threatening, but inwardly weak and timid.
The view from Europe is of a small and comical man. Biden has a history of trash-talking people he thinks are small or weak politically. He told lies about an obscure truck driver and falsely accused him of driving drunk when in fact it was Biden's wife who caused her own unfortunate death on the road.
He tried to bully Menachem Begin. In the American televised spectacle called "debates," Biden talked over and tried to bully Paul Ryan and then Donald Trump.
He tried to bully the Saudi King but is now groveling before him at his court.
Biden is a small and weak man, a little kitty who gets his back up and pretends to be a ferocious tiger.

Don't get why Biden needs to negotiate -- the US isn't a party to the war.
Yeah, yeah, yeah -- I can hear the stuttering, stammering "HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT!! THEY'RE USING OUR WEAPONS!!!"
The Vietnamese used Soviet weapons. The North Koreans used Soviet and Chinese weapons. The Iraqis used Russian weapons. The Soviets bankrolled every terrorist organization who would say a few nice things about Marx.
And they maintained they were not party to ANY of those conflicts.

HIMARS to be seen soon. Izium combat service and support sustainment nodes for the northern Donbas pincer will be immediately put under attack via the primary rail lines that run N to S from Russia to Izium and points further east around the pocket the Russian forces are attempting to close.
Unlike much of the other rail lines in northern and western Ukraine, these are Russian gauge lines thus need no transloading to western carriages.
Likewise, the Ukrainians already have a bridgehead across the river N of Kherson, and may take advantage of the stripping of forces there to retake Kherson by cutting it off from reinforcements from the Crimea across the river.
It all comes down to the competence of Ukrainian soldiers and the incompetence of Russian logistics, versus time.

[IsraelTimes] Iranian opposition outlet says Ayoob Entezari, who worked on missiles and drones, died last week after attending a dinner party, the host of which has since fled
An Iranian scientist who died last week under mysterious circumstances was intentionally poisoned by an acquaintance, according to a report by an Iranian opposition outlet on Sunday.
Ayoob Entezari was reportedly employed at a research and development center in the city of Yazd, where he was said to have worked on developing missiles and drones before dying on May 31.
Some initial reports had indicated he died of food poisoning, but local authorities denied this, saying he died of an unspecified illness and accusing one of his relatives of spreading rumors.
Authorities in Yazd province also denied he was a significant figure, describing him as a regular employee at an industrial company, after a letter written by the governor called him a "martyr" and a picture reportedly showed local officials paying a condolence visit to his home. The province later said the use of the term was a mistake.
However, a woman is only as old as she admits... Iran ...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979... International quoted unverified reports saying Entezari may have been intentionally poisoned while attending a dinner, as he died afterward.
The outlet also said some unnamed sources reported that the man who hosted the dinner party has since fled the country.
Iranian scientist Dr. Ayub Ansari was invited to dinner with a relative in Yazd, Iran, shortly before his death, the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Qabas revealed, sharing new details on Saturday regarding his death.
According to the report, when he got back from dinner, his condition deteriorated, and he was taken to the hospital.
Ansari was reportedly suffering from internal bleed and died two hours later despite attempts to save his life.
[IsraelTimes] Rioters barricade themselves in al-Aqsa Mosque, throw stones at officers as Jewish groups tour flashpoint compound; no injuries or arrests reported
Police scuffled with Paleostinians on Jerusalem’s flashpoint Temple Mount holy site on Sunday morning as Jews toured the compound during the Shavuot holiday.
Paleostinians barricaded themselves inside the compound’s al-Aqsa Mosque and threw stones at police in response to the visits. There were no reports of injuries or arrests in the incident.
Footage from the scene showed officers outside the mosque doors, while Paleostinians barricaded inside threw stones out of windows and chanted "holy shit! Allahu akbar," or "God is great."
Other videos showed a small group of Jews walking through the plaza surrounded by police, with Paleostinians trailing the Jewish group holding Paleostinian flags and shouting.
The visits by Jewish groups continued as usual under police protection, Hebrew media reported.
[IsraelTimes] Man detained in joint operation by IDF, Border Police and Shin Bet in Bethlehem
Israeli security forces arrested a terror suspect in the West Bank city of Bethlehem during an overnight raid, the military said on Sunday morning.
No Israeli troops were maimed during the operation and the suspect was transferred to Sherlocks for questioning.
The Israel Defense Forces, together with Border Police and the Shin Bet security service conducted overnight operations across the West Bank as part of Operation Breakwater, the army said.
The military launched the operation in the West Bank following a series of terror attacks beginning in March that claimed the lives of 19 people. The ensuing raids sparked festivities that left at least 30 Paleostinians dead since mid-March.
Security forces clashed with Paleostinians over the weekend while carrying out a raid to arrest a man suspected of illegally driving Paleostinians across the "seam zone" area along the security barrier. Several Paleostinian attackers in the recent terror wave entered Israel illegally from the West Bank.
According to the IDF, rioters in the northern West Bank village of Jaba’ threw stones and Molotov cocktails at soldiers during the raid. No Israeli troops were hurt in the festivities.
The IDF said soldiers also arrested a terror suspect in Bethlehem during that operation and confiscated several weapons.
[IsraelTimes] According to Kan, Navy using vessels including submarines to protect drilling site; Iron Dome battery to be placed nearby as well
The Israeli military is preparing for the possibility that the Hezbollah terror group will attempt to attack the new Karish gas rig off the country’s Mediterranean coast, Kan news reported Sunday.
The report said navy vessels would help secure the rig, including submarines. A naval version of the Iron Dome missile defense system will also arrive in the area to help protect the platform.
The new drilling platform arrived at the Karish site on Sunday and is expected to become operational in the next few months.
Lebanese President Michel Aoun ...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah... on Sunday warned Israel against drilling at Karish, claiming it was a disputed site.
The Walla news site quote an unnamed senior Israeli Sunday night who slammed the Lebanese allegations as "lies," adding that Beirut’s recent claims to the site "contradict the positions that Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...a formerly French, now an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. ... itself presented in the past."
Longtime foes Israel and Lebanon have held talks over the past year aimed at demarcating offshore exclusive economic zones. The disputed area, hundreds of square miles wide, is thought to contain large deposits of natural gas, a potential game-changer for Lebanon, which is mired in a devastating economic crisis.
The Hezbollah terror group has warned Israel against unilaterally searching for natural gas in the disputed maritime region before any agreement is reached.
The negotiations are meant to focus on an 860-square-kilometer (330-square-mile) disputed sea area according to a map registered with the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... in 2011.
But in 2020, Lebanon demanded an additional area of 1,430 square kilometers further south, Lebanese energy expert Laury Haytayan said, characterizing the new phase of talks as a "war of the maps."
The additional area extends into part of the Karish gas field which Israel has assigned Energean, which was expected to begin pumping gas to the Israeli domestic market last year. Karish, Hebrew for shark, contains 1.4 trillion cubic feet of proved and probable gas.
Lebanon’s foreign minister responded positively in February to proposals from US negotiator Amos Hochstein on settling the maritime border dispute with Israel, as Hezbollah leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb... reportedly gave a green light to continue negotiations.
However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... Nasrallah expressed fierce opposition to the US-mediated talks last month, appearing to contradict the earlier reports.
The area around Karish also includes a prospect known as Block 72, which is thought to also contain large hydrocarbon deposits. In June 2019, the Israeli government gave US-based Noble Energy the go-ahead to carry out exploratory drilling there, though development of the field has reportedly been hampered by worries over its fate in the dispute with Lebanon.
Energean's floating gas production rig, Energean Power, has arrived in Israel, mooring near the Shark gas reservoir, about 80 km off the coast of Haifa.
Energean, which holds the gas production licenses from the "Shark(Karish)" and "Crocodile(Tanin)" reservoirs, announced the arrival on Saturday.
Energean will immediately begin anchoring and connecting the rig to the gas wells and piping networks and begin the initial run of various systems.
The company estimates that commissioning operations will last about 3-4 months until the first gas flow is achieved, which is expected in the third quarter of 2022.
More females driven out of the public square into purdah.
[ToloNews] Three female Badakhshan University lecturers were fired. Officials at Badakhshan University said the three female lecturers have not been at their jobs in over 10 months and have therefore been fired.
However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... universities have only been opened since the beginning of the school year in March, and the upheaval caused by the political takeover in August caused interruptions in universities, schools and other organizations across the country before March.Based on a letter that went viral on social media, Badakhshan University's appointment committee decided to fire these academics in an official meeting.
One student said that the firing will add to the difficulties in educating women in Afghanistan.
"The removal of female professors from the university is one of the biggest problems in educating female students, and this adds up to the frustration of girls," said Lal Mah Hasrat, a student.
"It has been three months since our classes started. Mozhda and Professor Alamyar were among the teachers who were teaching us at university. It has been three months that they are absent," said Hangama, another student.
Meanwhile, ...back at the palazzo, Count Guido had been cornered by the banditti... Badakhshan University's chancellor said that these professors have been fired for their persistent absenteeism.
"From August of 2021, which is ten months, these teachers left university, they were repeatedly contacted by the university leadership to come back, but unfortunately they did not return," said Salahuddin Qazizada, head of press relations of Badakhshan University.
Faeza Durkhani, a professor in the Faculty of Agriculture, and Monira Alamyar and Mozhda Tabesh in the Faculty of Social Sciences, are the lecturers who were fired by the leadership of Badakhshan University.
TOLOnews attempted to get a comment from the fired professors, but did not succeed.
Currently, nine other female professors are teaching at Badakhshan University.

The National Resistance Front is the current generation of the old Northern Alliance that fought off the Taliban back in the 1990s, ie. the non-Pashtun tribes, jpal. The old leaders ended up being governors of their provinces and key members of the post-Talib government, while their sons were sent off for proper training from military academies and then finance and governance at university on the assumption that those skills would be needed again. And so they are.
[Deadline] Atlanta rapper Trouble, aka Mariel Semonte Orr, was shot and killed early Sunday at the Lake St. James Apartment complex in Conyers, Ga.
The Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office said Orr was shot around 3:20 a.m. Sunday morning. Deputies said Trouble was lying on the ground outside the apartments when they arrived. He was taken to a local hospital where he later died.
Def Jam, Troubles record label, anounced his death on Instagram.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the children, loved ones, and fans of Trouble. A true voice for his city and an inspiration to the community he proudly represented. RIP Skoob."
Investigators say that no arrests have been made. However, they have warrants out for 33-year-old Jamichael Jones, charging him with murder. It is unclear what the relationship was between Trouble and Jones. Some reports have indicated it was not good.
Trouble released his debut mixtape in 2011. It included the song "Bussin," which has more than 2.7 million YouTube views.
[BBC] Australia has accused the pilot of a Chinese fighter jet of carrying out a dangerous manoeuvre near one of its aircraft over the South China Sea.
It says the Chinese aircraft released flares and cut in front of the Australian surveillance plane.
The Chinese jet then released "chaff" - an anti-radar device which includes small pieces of aluminium which entered the Australian plane's engine.
Beijing claims most of the region as its own territory.
The Royal Australian Air Force P-8 maritime surveillance aircraft was intercepted on 26 May by a Chinese J-16 fighter aircraft, during what was a routine maritime surveillance activity, Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese said.
"The intercept resulted in a dangerous manoeuvre which did pose a safety threat to the P-8 aircraft and its crew," he said.
Defence Minister Richard Marles said the Chinese jet flew very close in front of the RAAF aircraft and released a "bundle of chaff" containing the small pieces of aluminium that were ingested into the Australian aircraft's engine.
"Quite obviously this is very dangerous," Mr Marles told ABC television.
In a statement, Australia's defence ministry said it had "for decades undertaken maritime surveillance activities in the region" and "does so in accordance with international law, exercising the right to freedom of navigation and overflight in international waters and airspace".
Beijing has not commented on the incident. China has been building up military infrastructure there in recent years.
But the US, neighbouring countries and others, including Australia, dispute its claim.
In February, Australia accused a Chinese navy ship of shining a military grade laser towards one of its warplanes over the Arafura Sea off northern Australia.
[ET] Lawyer Michael Avenatti, who made headlines for his anti-Donald Trump stance, was sentenced to four years in prison Thursday for cheating his former client out of $300,000 in cash from a book deal.
Avenatti was convicted of aggravated identity fraud and wire fraud in a New York federal court earlier in 2022. He could have faced two years in prison for the first charge and 20 years for the second.
During his sentencing, Avenatti acknowledged that he made a "series of mistakes" and "poor judgment" when he represented and bilked Stormy Daniels out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Previously, Avenatti said he did not want to appear at the sentencing, but the judge ordered him to.
"I will forever be branded ’disgraced lawyer’ and worse," he said Thursday. But wait - there's more!
Avenatti, meanwhile, still faces a retrial in California federal court in another case in which is being accused of stealing nearly $10 million from five clients. He’s also currently serving a 30-month prison sentence for attempting to extort more than $20 million from Nike by threatening to release damaging information to the public unless he was paid.

...I like a variation on that - 'Cherish those who seek the truth; beware of those who claim to have found it."
I have noticed a recent uptick of Ukrainian artillery strikes in civilians areas in Donetsk, where civilians have traditionally fared the worst.
[DonRF] Donetsk is again suffering from fire, it is unlikely to be quiet at night. 91 dead in a week in the DPR. Nearly 400 wounded. All of these are civilians. Reports are dreary, personal contacts too. Everything froze in some kind of balance, and it is absolutely incomprehensible where it will stagger.
Not fun. Some are looking for zradu, others are looking for peremoga, others want socialism, others want the scoop out of themselves... And Donbass suffers in silence when it flies in packets, then there is no time for geonanopolitics. Although they also whisper ... about different things. It is hard for people to believe that on the 102nd day it is exactly so. It is even more difficult to live in this understanding that it is for a long time.
The logic of war is no victories and morale is falling. The fictitious ones come in the first month, then all these multi-move ones become boring. And there is nothing to do, everything continues. The process has begun, and now it is up to the end. It's like in flight - I burned 51% of the fuel and there's no way back. Only forward to the end. Both for them and for us. They just do not have a way back, because only a resounding victory will close the hell that will emerge after. After all, they will tear their own if there is peace. All this dope will go away, the facts will remain.
Exactly like ours. There are a lot of bugs that need to be changed. Donbass will be restored later. From the ruins And you can't resurrect people. So, again, just go ahead, there is no choice. And this is an axiom. Russian ultra-patriots can pose as much as they want - we are protecting you, no guys, you are protecting yourself. We are a played card, they are coming after you.
And it's time to forget the great-power show-offs, the 102nd day has gone. Yes, and ours need less to yell about "betrayed", "set up" and the like. They did not betray, they just could. Yes, and now what? In Ukraine? Good luck, you can survive the artillery raid, there is no castration with further extraction of the eye with a knife. And it will be so. We are not human to them.
No one has a choice, that's the point. And I personally do not call for anything, everyone understands everything. Well, except for half a percent of the stubborn in the Russian Federation and here, who believe in the rape of pregnant boys in panties and self-attacks. But those bullets will fix them. Ukrainian. And that's if we lose.
It is unlikely. Very unlikely. The question is just the speed of buildup and the price of victory. Not in counter-battery shooting, Soviet artillery systems are shit, men who at least know how to shoot even more, not in ammunition, can buy small UAVs of the Russian Federation as much as needed in a week, the question is how soon all this will be organized, but pique vests:
It was even funnier. In December 2016, his boss calls me. The man had been engaged in the Ukrainian direction for almost three years (!!!) by that time. Further our dialogue:
He: Listen, we have a meeting now, tell me, is Zhitomir ours or not ours?
Me: What do you mean? (I go nuts from the very formulation of the question, which speaks of the complete incompetence of a person as a specialist)
He: Well, Bandera or not?
This is where I blew up, of course.
Me: Well, you're just a sheep, or what? Zhytomyr is a big city. There are ours, there are not ours, there are Bandera, communists, Jews, Seventh-day Adventists, bikers, chess players and ten thousand more social groups. How do they feel about Moscow? Yes, whatever! Someone supports completely, someone with reservations, someone is simply against it, someone is against it, but there is a nuance, someone doesn’t care at all ... and so on !! How can a whole city be recorded as ours or not ours, what kind of question is this? Is Moscow ours or not? There are twenty million people here and everyone has their own opinion! ..
He, interrupting: I see, I understand. In short, not Bandera, right?
I hung up.
These people sat in the Ukrainian direction until 2018, until they were kicked out in the ass. Responsibility for the difficulties in conducting SVO now lies, among other things, on their shoulders. Of course, none of them will answer for the failures, it is not customary here.
But conclusions must be drawn. Those who understand it should be responsible for the direction. This is not self-advertising (God forbid, I'm a private person and I'm not going anywhere), it's just a statement of fact.
Reading that which you won’t understand who is dumber - current or applicants, but you tend to believe that the connoisseur of nominal LNG and weighing pistols on market scales is all the same, because he is hungry, greedy and unprincipled, they will be removed. We don’t have the Hindenburgs, it’s bad with the Bismarcks, but there are people.
And at the top as well. Russia has such a karma - slowly and not ready. This time Donbass pays. The strategists worked out at night, it didn’t help the Ukrainians to see the realization, which means that this night will be difficult. I hope that for them, since there is nothing to cover us with.
Such are the unfortunate thoughts. Why should they be funny? People are dying, property is burning, everything is slow and alternatively brilliant. And what to do? It's good to be Russian, but it's hard.
Commentary by Russian military journalist. Boris Rozhin.
[ColonelCassad] 1. Fighting continues in the area of the industrial zone of the Azot plant. The enemy also maintains communication with Lisichansk through one of the damaged bridges - heavy equipment passes there with great difficulty, but vehicles pass.
2. The transfer of reinforcements from Lysichansk to Severodonetsk, after the Armed Forces surrendered almost the entire city, made it possible to stay in the Azot area and start fighting in the adjacent residential area, while the Ukrainian sources themselves admit that there is no ambition to recapture Severodonetsk.
The fighting will accordingly continue in the industrial area, and part of Severodonetsk will soon turn into an analogue of Mariupol in terms of the destruction of high-rise buildings and other residential buildings, taking into account the active work of the artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Severodonetsk.
3. It is unlikely that the command of the RF Armed Forces planned to storm Lisichansk head-on after taking the industrial zone of Severodonetsk. The real assault on Lisichansk will begin when they break through the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near Privolye and Ustinovka, advancing to the outskirts of the city, regardless of what will happen in the industrial complex.
4. Of key importance for all these battles is the struggle for the Artemovsk-Lysichansk highway, since control over it devalues any efforts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to hold Lisichansk and Severodonetsk, unless, of course, there is a plan to sacrifice the entire grouping of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as all foreign mercenaries who were abandoned to hold the Azot industrial zone.
5. So far, the RF Armed Forces have ensured complete fire control over the route, which has already affected the supply of Severodonetsk and Lisichansk. But there is no complete block on the highway yet, so individual vehicles and groups are still passing, but full-fledged supply, which was possible back in the first half of May, can no longer be ensured, despite all efforts to push the RF Armed Forces away from the area of Belogorovka and Berestovoye.
The current task of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in this direction is to grind the enemy's reserves in oncoming battles and cross the Artemovsk-Lysichansk highway.
6. Naturally, the activity of the RF Armed Forces in the direction of Seversk is also expected, since taking under fire control (which is not yet available) the Artemovsk-Seversk-Lysichansk highway will lead to the notorious operational encirclement of the Severodonetsk grouping, which will simply lose the ability to supply through Artemovsk, and any retreat will be associated with serious losses.
7. Therefore, in the near future, on the one hand, we will observe positional battles in the area of the Severodonetsk industrial zone and high-intensity battles north of Soledar.
This was confusing the heck out of me because
1) there is an Artemovsk southeast of Popasna that is definitely not being used by Ukr as an MSR
2) in one of those 2016 name-changey things, Artemovsk reverted to its old name of Bakhmut.
So think Bakhmut-Seversk-Lysichansk as a supply route as the main road between Bakhmut-Lysichansk is closing.
Police on Sunday arrested a Hizb turban in J&K's Kishtwar district.
That’s Hizb-ul-Mujahideen. For some reason Greater Kashmir feels a need to shorten it.
A police front man said the turban Talib Hussain son of Late Noor Mohd Gujjar a resident of Rashgwari Tehsil Nagseni District Kishtwar was arrested by Kishtwar Police and 17 RR.
As per police, Talib was active since 2016 and his arrest is a "major blow to the Hizb".
"In a major blow to #HM outfit, #Kishtwar #Police & #SecurityForces (17 RR) arrested one terrorist of HM outfit active since 2016 identified as Talib Hussain S/o Late Noor Mohd Gujjar R/o Rashgwari Tehsil Nagseni District Kishtwar, " police said.
great article by John Mooney about Lisa Smith who is currently facing sentencing for her time in ISIS and her courage speaking against the group even from Syria. Lisa Smith made anti-extremism videos in Islamic State camp in Syria https://t.co/vsqFy98opR
Smith agreed to participate in the making of a counter-narrative video on condition it would not be broadcast until she and her then two-year old daughter returned to Ireland. Speckhard gave Smith’s daughter chocolate to occupy her while filming took place.
Smith’s interviews were later used to create four counter-Isis videos which have since been viewed thousands of times worldwide. In the videos Smith discussed how she became radicalised by joining private groups on Facebook before embarking on a life-changing journey that led her to Syria where she witnessed unspeakable violence.

[AnNahar] Caretaker Prime Minister Najib Miqati on Sunday urged the U.N. and other international parties to compel Israel to stop its "dangerous provocations," after a gas drilling ship crossed the so-called Line 29 and entered a sea area disputed by Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. ... "The Israeli enemy’s attempts to spark a new crisis -- by infringing on Lebanon’s maritime resources and imposing a de facto situation in a disputed area in which Lebanon is adhering to its rights -- is a very dangerous matter that can trigger tensions whose consequences cannot be speculated by anyone," Miqati warned in a statement.
"Based on this, we warn of the repercussions of any wrong step prior to the resumption of the mission of the U.S. mediator, whose recommencement has become more than urgent," the caretaker PM added.
"We also call on the U.N. and all those concerned to contain the situation and compel the Israeli enemy to stop its provocations," Miqati went on to say.
He also underscored that "the solution lies in resuming negotiations" in a manner that preserves "Lebanon’s full right to its resources and waters."

[KhaamaPress] Afghanistan National Television, one of the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... -controlled television channels, announced that former Defense Ministry front man General Dawlat Waziri has returned to Afghanistan.
The efforts of the Taliban’s Return and Communications with Former Afghan Officials and Political Figures Commission, according to National Television, have encouraged Dawlat Waziri to return to the country.
The Taliban’s Commission of Return and Communications with Former Afghan Officials and Political Figures front man, Ahmadullah Wasiq, confirmed Dawlat Waziri’s arrival and has expressed satisfaction and delight.
Dawlat Waziri is a former member of the former government’s security sector who was an outspoken opponent of the Taliban and is now glad to be back in Afghanistan, claiming the Taliban’s presence is encouraging and positive.
His sudden return to Afghanistan has sparked outrage on social media, with many users claiming that his return disrespects the sanctity of the blood of 61,000 Afghanistan National Army fighters killed in the 20-year battle against the Taliban.
Two Jordanian pilots were killed on Sunday in a plane crash in northern Jordan during training exercises, the Jordanian army said, citing a technical error.
The training plane crashed in empty land in the Ramtha area near the border with Syria, the army added in a statement.
On Saturday, June 4th, Airandee posed a good question that sparked my curiosity.
"How many of these young murders have been on behavior meds ..."
It seems there have been a number of studies, but the findings are not being given the serious attention needed.
A quick skim shows a number of MASS School and Gathering Shooters were being treated.
[CCHRINT] Psychiatric Drugs & Violence—The Facts
Regulatory Warnings on Violence, Mania, Psychosis, Homicide
Fact: Despite 27 international drug regulatory warnings on psychiatric drugs citing effects of mania, hostility, violence and even homicidal ideation, and dozens of high profile shootings/killings tied to psychiatric drug use, there has yet to be a federal investigation on the link between psychiatric drugs and acts of senseless violence.
Fact: At least 37 school shootings and/or school-related acts of violence have been committed by those taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs resulting in 175 wounded and 82 killed (in other school shootings, information about their drug use was never made public—neither confirming or refuting if they were under the influence of prescribed drugs).
Fact: Between 2004 and 2012, there have been 14,773 reports to the U.S. FDA’s MedWatch system on psychiatric drugs causing violent side effects including: 1,531 cases of homicidal ideation/homicide, 3,287 cases of mania & 8,219 cases of aggression. Note: The FDA estimates that less than 1% of all serious events are ever reported to it, so the actual number of side effects occurring are most certainly higher.

School-related acts of violence aren’t the only cases commonly found to be under the influence of psychiatric drugs. There are 28 other acts of senseless violence committed by individuals taking or withdrawing from psychiatric drugs resulting in an additional 270 dead and 164 wounded.

Germany tried to use medications to make killers 80 years ago. US & USSR tried for decades afterwards. We got caught & said we stopped. It’s such an enticing prize- did we stop and stay stopped?
It looks like the "Magic" mental illness cure pills, that allowed the States to empty their Asylums back in the 1980-90's, is not a safe solution.
The Nut-Jobs just quit taking it, and/or the Insurance Companies quit covering it, or the mental Illness eventually exceeds the Magic Pill's abilities.
Maybe reopening and increasing the capacity of State Mental Asylums for Stage 3 and 4 level, needs to be seriously looked at again.
Of course, the (L-S-D's) will fight it.
Because it will put a big dent in their Gun Control efforts.
Plus, it would properly address the growing Immoral/Decadent behavioral displays, which are mental Illness related, not physically / medically based.

This is a STUPID argument. People with mental/emotional issues are found to be taking drugs that help with mental/emotional issues -- as shocking a discovery as finding a cancer patient is on anti-cancer medication. Finding that not everyone is helped by the drugs is as shocking as finding not everyone on cancer medication is helped, as well.

BTW, the organization pushing this story is a Scientology front. Scientology is opposed to all forms of mental/emotional treatment outside the cult. This crap is not promoted with anyone's well-being in mind; it's as poisonous as the LGBTQ+AEIOU garbage.

...A good and needed idea, and one that ain't ever gonna happen.
I and a lot of other people remember when the moves to 'deinstituionalize' started in the late 70s (Way too many people who should know better blame it on Ronald Reagan, which they know isn't true but deflects blame) - real, genuine and horrifying abuses were found, along with the fact that many, many patients were simply being warehoused until they had the decency to die. When the bad news started coming out, almiost every state in the union killed their mental hospital system, promising to bring their carte methods up to date.
Needless to say, that never happened. The money always seemed to end up somewhere else.
Since - for most advocates of the mentally ill - the default setting is that the patients have been/are/will be abused, full open-ended commitment is a fairly rare thing these days. Nothing is going to be done about anyone until they actually commit some atrocity and then are impolite enough to survive the incident...and then, they're going to prison, not anywhere where they can actually get help they should have gotten in the first place. It's far cheaper and easier to deal with the handful of survivors than give them the assistance that might have prevented a disaster.

Rob Crawford, if you listen to the depression medication commercials they always have a warning that a small percentage of folks taking the drug have suicidal thoughts. In other words it doesn't work as expected. What are the chances some have homicidal thoughts?
#12
Paradoxical reactions are a thing. With psych meds, it's a thing to watch closely. Uncontrolled withdrawal from psych meds is a bad deal always.
But they are handed out like candy. Essentially mandated for many boys in elementary school. What a surprise that doesn't go so well...

With little followup.
"The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Survey on Drug Use and Health data found that in 2018, 47 million adults over age 18 reported a mental health condition."

And lots of people on various scrip psych drugs go out and trade them for what they really want, which may be other drugs, booze, sex, etc.

Most psych drugs have zero value on the recreational market because they have no noticeable effect unless you have the condition they treat. You need massive doses of SSRIs, for example, before you notice an unusual effect, and the result is like a caffeine high you could get cheaper and easier from McDonald's coffee.
The biggest problem is no one bothers to keep an eye on kids who are clearly trouble. The schools milk them for special program money, do the minimum to help them, and never impose discipline because discipline is hard and scary and "male". The police don't pay attention because they're under pressure for revenue enhancement and have to deal with crimes that have happened rather than ones that might happen.
So there's little or no follow-up. Maybe the kid gets sent to a psych by the court or school, maybe gets a prescription for something that MIGHT help. Maybe the kid takes them, maybe not -- you can't be sure whoever has been housing and feeding the kid will make sure they take their meds, because they let problems get that far already.
But "it's those damned drugs" is a cheap, easy answer that appeals to some people's sense of... something. And it's a more appealing conclusion than "bad things happen", I get that.
But bad things happen. Those things aren't always preventable without a police state that would make the East German Stasi think you've gone too far.

Then you may as well sell them generic M&Ms.
My mother was taking fentanyl while cancer was killing her. That has street value, and the hospital literally sent someone to make sure the remainder was destroyed. SSRIs and anti-psychotics? Not so much.

There is two years of Covid Response Bullying due, and there is a more aggressive ad stance from both medication and therapy clinics for depression.

Rob Crawford,
I agree with everything you said in #15, but your points don't discredit the initial question in the title to this post, they support that question. You can't give drugs without supervision and follow up, especially to teens.
Most of these shooters are from broken homes as well, another puzzle piece nobody wants to look at, but that doesn't mean the other bits aren't factors as well.
#21
It should be a simple matter to develop a database with data from each of these mass shootings. Every shooting has facts associated with it that could and should be entered into the database. Some of the facts would be: race, gender, meds found in the shooter's blood, family history of criminal activity, family history of mental problems, the shooter's criminal record, where he bought the gun, what kind of gun, how he paid for the gun, where the shooting took place, how many victims, and on and on.
Once all of this data is organized into proper database tables sql queries could show relationships between the tables, rows and columns. I believe these queries would be highly informative, possibly to the point of suggesting highly effective solutions.
I'd like to believe that the FBI or some other government entity started work on such a project some time ago and, if they did, it would be interesting to see the findings. But, the FBI being the FBI, it's hard to say.

[AlAhram] Five European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... nations on the Mediterranean who fear possible waves of refugees driven by hunger out of Africa called Saturday for an end to the EU's ``voluntary'' solidarity on migrants colonists and a better way to redistribute the burden of caring for them.
The Interior ministers from Italia, Cyprus, Greece, Malta and Spain wrapped up two days of talks in Venice amid worries that the blockade of Ukraine grain exports due to Russia's invasion could see huge numbers of refugees from Africa flooding southern Europe.
Cypriot Interior Minister Nicos Nouris told news hounds that robust, common EU policy is needed on migration. ``Solidarity is not a slogan, nor can it be void of substance,'' Nouris said.
Past EU policies in which member countries could offer to receive some of the hundreds of thousands of migrants colonists landing in Italia, Greece and other southern shores proved grossly inadequate.
Many EU countries didn't step forward. Others, even with they did pledge to receive modest numbers of some of the hundreds of thousands of migrants colonists rescued from smugglers' unseaworthy boats, didn't follow through.
``Solidarity in our mind cannot be voluntary,'' Nouris said.
He noted that after several years of Cyprus taking in migrants colonists, now 5% of the eastern Mediterranean island nation's population consists of asylum-seekers.
The meeting did not address the millions of Ukrainian refugees who recently flooded into northern EU nations like Poland, Hungary and Romania.
How Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... handles large numbers of migrants colonists takes on particular urgency now, amid fears that drought in Africa and surging food prices even before the war made shipping Ukrainian grain to Somalia, Egypt and other poor nations impossible could drive up the already alarmingly numbers of hungry people.
In the Sahel, the part of Africa just below the Sahara desert, an estimated 18 million people are facing severe hunger as farmers endure their worst production season in more than a decade.
Italian Interior Minister Luciana Lamorgese cited the blocking of grain in Ukraine as just another reason for the EU to develop a ``adequate mechanism of distributing migrants colonists'' among its members.
She also pressed for more repatriation agreements with countries whose people are seeking a better life in Europe but had their asylum bids rejected since they are fleeing poverty, not war or persecution.
Italia has an effective repatriation agreement with Tunisia, but not with most other countries in Africa or in Asia whose citizens take to smugglers' boats to try to reach southern European shores. As a result, even though their asylum applications fail, many migrants colonists remain in Italia, often taking illegal jobs or resorting to begging.
Greece's interior minister expressed support for more legal paths for migration.
``We cannot let smugglers decide who comes to live in Europe,'' minister Notis Mitarachi told news hounds.

THIS SUMMER RUSSIA WILL ANNOUNCETHAT THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER RUSSIAN SUPPLIES OF ANY KIND TO EUROPE UNTIL IT BREAKS WITH WASHINGTON.
What would follow?
Political opinions would change. Governments would be replaced with more pragmatic ones.
France Italy and Germany would either have to leave NATO or become impoverished and irrelevant. U.S. troops on European grounds would be asked to leave or be attacked and thrown out by an enraged public. Germany and Italy would prohibit the U.S. military from using its airspace. The U.S would lose its grip over the continent. The cia and pentagon teams working on the Ukrainian disasters need to be executed.

[Vesti] The Ukrainian military cleared half of Severodonetsk from the Russian army. Serhiy Gaidai, the head of the military administration of the Luhansk region, announced this on the air of the telethon on Sunday, June 5.
"From the interceptions, we understand that the commander of the Russian army received two tasks - to capture Severodonetsk and the Lisichansk-Bakhmut highway by June 10," Gaidai said.
He also predicted that in the next five days, the Russians will try to raze the Lugansk region to the ground.

“Yesterday, as a result of the shelling of Svyatogorsk, the All Saints Skete of the Svyatogorsk Lavra burned down, but this is far from the first religious building destroyed by the Russians. cell of the Svyatogorsk Lavra, killing four monks. In total, Russians have already destroyed or damaged at least 43 religious buildings in the region - the vast majority of them belonged to the Moscow Patriarchate, " Kirilenko said.
Kirilenko is confident that these attacks are the deliberate destruction of any manifestations of Ukrainian culture.
The day before in the Donetsk region on Saturday, a large-scale fire engulfed the All Saints Skete of the Holy Dormition Svyatogorsk Lavra. The UOC-MP stated that this happened "as a result of hostilities."
[REGNUM] The head of Chechnya , Ramzan Kadyrov , posted another video proving that Russian military personnel have taken control of the residential zone of Severodonetsk in the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR). The footage was published in the telegram channel of the head of the region.

"Friends, I have repeatedly stated and confirmed by video recordings the fact of taking the entire residential area of the city of Severodonetsk. The Akhmat fighters in these videos moved freely along the main street and the central avenue of the city," Kadyrov wrote, noting that Ukrainian nationalists continue to hang “noodles on their ears” that Severodonetsk is under the control of the Ukrainian authorities.

[RIA Novosti] The collective West, led by the United States, has long embarked on the path of breaking off relations with Russia, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on the air of the Italian TV channel La7.
"The collective West, led by the United States, began to dominate the EU space . From a political point of view, the European Union does not exist without the United States. And this Collective West, led by the United States, has long since moved on to breaking off relations with Russia.
At first, we were not given the opportunity to build gas pipelines to Europe. Who did it? The United States, which forbade, in particular, Germany to build a gas pipeline, saying that Europe should not receive Russian gas," Zakharova said.
According to her, another example of this problem is the visa facilitation talks that have been going on for 20 years.
“It was the EU that practically interrupted these negotiations and facilitated the visa regime for Moldova without explaining anything to us,” the representative of the foreign ministry emphasized.
Relations between Russia and the West deteriorated due to the situation in Ukraine. The European Union, the United States and some other states have imposed new sanctions on individuals, banks and companies. They also closed the sky for Russian aircraft. Restrictive measures turned into economic problems for the States themselves and their allies and rising prices for fuel and products.
According to President Vladimir Putin , the policy of containing and weakening Russia is a long-term strategy for unfriendly countries, and the main goal of the United States and Europe is to worsen the lives of millions of people.
[REGNUM] The host of the La7 channel on Italian television, Massimo Giletti, felt unwell after completing an interview with the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova. The incident occurred on June 6 during a conversation between the TV presenter and the guests of the Non è l'Arena program.
Giletti was in touch with the studio in Rome from Moscow, and after completing the interview with Zakharova via Skype, he began to discuss it with the guests of the TV show. However, after a few minutes, the guests of the program and co-host Giletti noticed that he was uneasy. The co-host shouted: “Help Massimo!” After which the ad block was turned on, the incident itself was not shown on the air.
After the advertisement, co-host Giletti explained that his health suddenly worsened and the program continued without him. The Italian journalist returned to the air some time later and explained that the cause of the malaise could be a lack of sugar or unusually cool weather in Moscow. Giletti's first aid, according to him, was provided by Russian journalist Vladimir Solovyov.
Earlier , REGNUM reported that the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova , spoke about the iron curtain that the EU is building around Russia and about who benefits from the break in relations between Europe and Russia.
We had the story of their arrest here. The men were identified as Azizjon B., Farhodshoh K., Muhammadali G., Sunatulloh Karimov, and Ravshan Boqiev, the ringleader. All arrived in Germany as asylum seekers.
[RFERL] A court in Germany has sentenced five Tajik men to lengthy prison terms after finding them guilty of being members of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (IS) terrorist organization’s cell that planned terrorist attacks in Germany and elsewhere.
A court in Dusseldorf said on May 31 that the Tajik men, aged 25 to 34, were sentenced to prison terms between three years and eight months to nine years and six months.
According to the court, the five men were in contact with groups involved in the Stockholm truck attack of April 2017 and those involved in the killing of four people in Vienna in November 2020.
Investigators said at the trial that in 2020, the group planned to murder a critic of Islam, but police thwarted the attack.
Before their arrest, the five Tajiks lived in different cities in Germany’s western North Rhine Westphalia region.
Tajik authorities say that since 2013, some 2,000 Tajik citizens have joined IS and other terrorist groups led by Islamist gunnies in Syria and Iraq.
Hundreds of them were killed and maimed there, while some managed to return to Tajikistan. Many of those who came back were amnestied, but some were handed lengthy prison terms on terrorism and mercenary charges.

[Korrespondent] 22:36 Zelensky instructed the Cabinet of Ministers to consider the issue of banning the use of pyrotechnics, in particular fireworks, during martial law. This is stated in the President's response to the relevant petition.
22:33 Russian mercenary of PMC Wagner Vladimir Andanov from Buryatia with the call sign Vakha was destroyed in Donbas. He fought in eastern Ukraine since 2014, participated in the battles for Debaltseve, and after 2015 went to fight in Syria, Russian media write.
22:28 The head of the Zaporizhia OVA Oleksandr Starukh, in a report to the president, said that almost 60% of the region was occupied. According to him, the enemy has destroyed 2,701 infrastructure facilities in the region, of which almost 700 have been restored.
22:25 The head of the Kharkiv OVA, Oleg Sinegubov, said that the Russians were shelling residential areas of the regional center. Residents are asked to stay in shelters and not ignore the alarms.
22:21 Broadcast television is not available in Donetsk and the occupied part of the region from today. The reason is the shelling damage, which was again staged by the invaders themselves in order to accuse the Armed Forces of Ukraine of shelling "civilians," said Petr Andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol.
21:44 In the Donetsk region, paratroopers from the Dnipropetrovsk region destroyed an enemy KA-52 helicopter with a shot from the Igla MANPADS . Also in the evening it became known that the defense forces shot down a Russian Su-25 aircraft over Orekhovo, Zaporozhye region.

But this motivation and preparation is not enough to defeat Russia without weapons."

The fire is still being extinguished.

“There are different schemes, it happens differently in different regions, but one way or another, I can’t say that this is a mass movement.

One of the units of the brigade was detained while trying to cross the border near the Shiyan checkpoint (Belgorod region) and forcibly returned to the zone of active hostilities. Now the unit is discussing the possibility of surrendering to the Ukrainians.

The responsibility of the aggressor is not humiliation, but justice."

10:29 Podolyak commented on today's missile attacks on Kiev: "While someone asks" not to humiliate Russia, "the Kremlin resorts to new insidious attacks.

09:24 British intelligence reports that over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian forces have launched counterattacks in Severodonetsk, which likely nullified the operational momentum that Russian forces had previously gained through the concentration of combat units and firepower. Russian forces deployed in the area include personnel mobilized from the "LPR" reserve. These troops are poorly equipped and trained, they lack heavy equipment compared to the regular units of the Russian Federation.
The use of such proxy infantry for city clearing operations is a Russian tactic previously used in Syria, where the Russian Federation deployed the Syrian Army's 5th Corps to attack urban areas. This approach likely indicates a desire to limit casualties among regular Russian forces, analysts say.
09:20 To get drinking water in Mariupol, now you need to sign up for a queue that lasts from two days, said the mayor's adviser Petr Andryushchenko. The main reason is the falling water level in natural springs. A further reduction in water supplies is predicted for natural reasons - due to the summer heat.
Andryushchenko also said that the volume of "humanitarian aid" from the occupiers has decreased, now it is issued exclusively to people of retirement age. Everything else - only through the "work". Young people are forced to sign up for "teams" and help mobile patrols, incl. in filtration measures. For refusal, they threaten with mobilization into the "DPR" army.
09:15 Today at about 5:30 a Russian cruise missile, similar to a Kalibr-type missile, flew critically low over the South Ukrainian nuclear power plant, Energoatom reported.

08:24 The invaders fired at the territory in the Brovary district of the Kiev region this morning, the mayor of the city Igor Sapozhko said.

08:13 The Russians launched an air missile attack on the industrial facilities of Kramatorsk, Mayor Alexander Goncharenko said. According to preliminary information, there are no casualties, but there are serious damages at two enterprises of the city.
07:59 Russian invaders used phosphorus munitions in the area of the Cherkasy Tishki settlement in the Kharkiv region.

00:12 The Russians forcibly deported part of the population of Severodonetsk to the occupied territory, said the head of the CAA, Alexander Stryuk, on the air of the telethon. Answering a question about the number of people who remain in the city, he pointed out that before the start of the assault, there were about 13 thousand people in Severodonetsk. "Considering that constant street fighting has been going on for the third day, the population that was, it remains, with the exception of a small part that the orcs managed to forcibly remove from the city to the occupied territory," he added.

— NORTH PRESS AGENCY - ENGLISH (@NPA_English) June 5, 2022
[Dawn] Security forces killed seven gunnies in two intelligence-based operations (IBOs) in Bannu and North Wazoo District, the military's media affairs wing said in a statement on Sunday.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), forces conducted IBOs in Jani Khel, Bannu District and Hassan Khel, North Waziristan District on the reported presence of gunnies in the area.
The statement said an intense exchange of fire ensued when the forces conducted operations in the areas. As a result, five bad boyz were potted in Jani Khel and two were shot full of holes in the North Waziristan District.
Weapons and ammunition were also recovered from the slain terrorists, the ISPR added.
The military said the gunnies killed during the operations were actively involved in terror activities against security forces.
"Locals of the area appreciated the operations and expressed their full support to eliminate the menace of terrorism from the area," the ISPR statement added.
Two weeks ago, security forces had killed two "important and most wanted" gunnies of the outlawed Tehrik-e-Taliban ...Arabic for students... Pakistain (TTP) in North Waziristan district's Boya area.
The slain gunnies were identified as commander Rasheed alias Jabir and Abdul Salam alias Chamtoo, the ISPR had said.
Also last month, three Pakistain Army soldiers and at least three children were martyred in a suicide kaboom in the vicinity of Miranshah ... headquarters of al-Qaeda in Pakistain and likely location of Ayman al-Zawahiri. The Haqqani network has established a ministate in centered on the town with courts, tax offices and lots of madrassas... , North Waziristan.
In a brief statement, the military had said the intelligence agencies were investigating to find out about [the] jacket wallah and his handlers/controllers.
[Rudaw] Syria on Saturday condemned The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... ’s recent attacks in the north of the country, calling them a "violation of international law" and its illusory sovereignty, as Ankara continues its recently launched operations targeting Kurdish fighters.
Syria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement saying they were following the "hostile" actions by Turkey, and its constant violations of Syrian illusory sovereignty "which has claimed the lives of a number of innocent people."
In late May, Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important... announced a new military offensive into northern Syria to create a 30 kilometer "safe zone" along its southern border. It is aimed to push back Kurdish fighters from the area.
"The hostile threats of the Ottoman Turkish regime constitute a blatant violation of international law and the illusory sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic," read the statement from the Syrian ministry, adding that the recent operation undermined the previously reached understandings about "de-escalation".
The statements coincided with ongoing Ottoman Turkish bombardment in parts of northern Syria. At least six soldiers of the Syrian army were maimed as a result of Ottoman Turkish shelling in Tel Tamer’s Umm al-Kif village on Saturday, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Russia, the United States, and the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... have all expressed concern in regards to Turkey’s latest military operation, urging Ankara to maintain the current ceasefire lines.
Erdogan on Wednesday said Ankara was clearing Tal Rifaat and Manbij from "terrorists," a term it uses to refer to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and groups it alleges to be affiliated to them, as a part of its new military operation in northern Syria.
Dozens of shells targeted villages and district Manbij in an offensive that started on late Thursday evening and continued until the morning hours of Friday.
Turkey has launched two offensives against Kurdish fighters in Syria since 2018. It alleges that the fighters are allied with the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), an gang fighting for the increased rights of Kurds in Turkey and is viewed as a terrorist organization by Ankara.

I think if you split the claims of the trolls on both sides down the middle, we may be looking at that elusive "Why can't both sides lose?" scenario.

"Ambushed". You comprehend you need to know the territory to know where to make it happen on short notice of when. Sorts out who are the locals from those who are the 'visiting team'.
A grinding, long war of attrition will do just that.
Also it speaks volumes of the lack of communication, training and trust that senior generals have to come down to the front lines to make sure shit gets done. That makes them easy targets.

OpSec is even more important when you're in Indian country.
I wonder how many cell phone calls alerting the next stop in their tour to their arrival were intercepted. Or if a local just spotted them and let the right person know.

Oh no... the Biden Administration is begging communist Venezuela to ship oil to Europe. Also begging the House of Saud to cut production
US to Let Eni, Repsol Ship Venezuela Oil to Europe, Reuters Says

People can believe whatever makes them feel better about themselves and their governments, yet the truth remains: the West is funding Russia's war effort, and Russia has captured three times as much territory as they held on February 24.
There's no other conclusion. Russia is winning the war. The West has lost the economic war. Ukraine is being slaughtered and dismembered.
The West's policies have achieved a Yarmolenko (what the Ukrainian futbol team achieved last night in the qualifying)match Cardiff)

Jokes aside, there's nothing more painful than realizing you've destroyed your team's chances of a World Cup berth by putting the ball into your own net.
It's certainly understandable that we in the West wish to believe that our leaders are pursuing wise policies and have our best interests at heart.
I can well understand why Americans wish to believe that President Biden is striking blows for freedom and democracy, and standing up to aggression, by begging Maduro and the Venezuelan communists to please please bail out the West.
Or that Biden is standing tall in Riyadh and begging similar favors of the Arab king whom he insulted and whose nation he vowed to make into a "pariah" just a few months ago.
Biden is wise, far-seeing and noble, Biden is doing all that can be done to protect us and make the world safe and prosperous -- yes. Biden would never put the ball into our own net.
Love the top comment on the "sanctions are an own goal" video: The US did not impose sanctions to Russia. They simply conducted a special economic stimulus.

Americans wish to believe that President Biden is striking blows for freedom and democracy, and standing up to aggression, by begging Maduro and the Venezuelan communists to please please bail out the West.
Well if Putin is Hitler, and if Roosevelt sided with Stalin vs Hitler, then Roosevelt's biggest admirer Joe Biden should (naturally) sidle up to Maduro-Stalin the commie against Putin-Hitler.
It all makes perfect sense when you think about it. It's the Most Greatestest Generation! C'mon, man!
Ha.. 'special' in that it makes us poorer and funnels hundreds of billions to Russia ... so they can reduce Ukraine to rubble, which will require us to pay out trillions in more 'special economic stimulus'... Bloody special alright

The Ukrainians are down to their volunteer troops, the middle aged teachers and programmistes and 18 year-old students who signed up to defend their homes in the West but who've been sent instead into the meat grinder in the east.
Their casualty rate is over 60 percent. Horrific.
Ukraine is in its last legs. This is why Biden is so eager to negotiate.

What do you think we're gaining by dragging out this stupid war?
It's been pointed out - hell, Zelllliiiinnnnssssskyi's said it -- Russia's captured over 100,000 square kilometers in this war. That's the size of the Northeast Corridor!
How much more territory do you want Ukraine to lose?
Are you secretly rootin' for Putin?

It is very difficult to persuade Americans to stop pursuing a losing cause when it involves spending a trillion dollars or more on an overseas war for "freedom" and "democracy."
Americans persisted with their disaster in Vietnam for over a decade, their fiasco in Iraq for another decade and their debacle in Afghanistan for two decades.
The corn is green.
Trillions must be wasted before America recognizes reality and admits defeat.

Everyone's mocking and humiliating the US now. Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba. The Democrats are attacking Biden. Everyone piles on.
The compliant America press is staring to use words like "chaotic" to describe his foreign policy and international summits. Summits that are on-again, off-again, who the fuck knows again.... He goes to Riyadh / he doesn't go to Riyadh; he says KSM's a "killer" / he begs KSM for help...

It's really extraordinary how far American foreign gn policy has fallen since the time of Nixon and Kissinger.
Any competent American president would have easily avoided war with Russia over such a trivial matter. Crimea was a non-issue, a sleeping dog -- trivial by comparison to far more difficult issues such as Taiwan or the Middke Eastern regional balance.

This is why Biden is so eager to negotiate.
Biden isn't a party to negotiations. This line, about Biden needing/wanting to negotiate is a common one from Russki trolls.
Everyone's mocking and humiliating the US now. Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba.
Newsflash: the US is not popular with state-run media in countries that have never been friendly towards the US!
(No, Mexico is not friendly with the US. Their failure to control their border and the incursions by their military demonstrate that.)
What do you think we're gaining by dragging out this stupid war?
Putin can end the war in just a few minutes. Why aren't you asking him and his mouthpieces why they're dragging it out. Why are they sending Russian generals to die? Why did they send Russian soldiers to dig into the irradiated soil around Chernobyl?

Of course the US is the main counterparty in the negotiations with Russia -- just as it was in 1973 when Nixon and Kissinger negotiated with Le Duc Tho. The Peace Accords were signed by the United States and North Vietnam.
Ukraine is simply an American client state, no different from America's client states in South Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.
This is a truth so obvious that Biden, habitual liar that he is, must deny it at each turn with his programmed mantra ("No rain in Spain without Ukraine" or what-have-you).

What do you think we're gaining by dragging out this stupid war?
Back when the trailing daughters were playing soccer (futbol for Jean Paul and all other non-Americans), one of the girls on one of our teams whined why did they have to play the game early Saturday morning when everybody knew our team was so much better trained than everybody else. The coach’s answer was that training is what you go to the game with, but it’s what happens on the field when you’re playing against an opponent that counts.
Tl;dr. It ain’t over ‘til the fat lady sings. I’m just a little Midwestern suburban housewife, with no influence over those making such decisions. So as the Germans say, my role is Abwarten und Tee trinken, a role I am eminently designed by nature and nurture to undertake.
It's obvious to anyone with even the most basic grasp of economics that the rest is royally fucked up.
The US and Western Europe are funding Russia's war machine. US sanctions are running the US economy into the ground.
Try listening to your more intelligent, more economically–literate compatriots:
"Putin has found ample alternative markets for Russian oil and gas in Asia. In particular, both India and China are not infected with “green new deal ideology” demonizing hydrocarbon fuels. Realizing the cost-efficiency of coal, oil, and natural gas, India and China represent a large and growing export opportunity for Russian hydrocarbon fuels.
"At the same time, Putin has quietly placed the ruble back on the gold standard, positioning the ruble to rise to the top against the diminished purchasing power of the overprinted dollar and euro fiat currencies."

Do you 🤡s really believe that Janet Yellen, Paul Pelosi, the Biden family, Schumer McConnell Romney the Clintons and Bush family and 1,000 other insiders are NOT buying rubles and betting on Russia to win the war?
Do you really believe that they think Ukraine is going to win? Really? SERIOUSLY?
Would you like to buy this bridge in Brooklyn that I have to offer you?
More plainly, I guess: It does no good to say “this one ought to win because...” There is no way of knowing until the game is actually played to the end — or in this case the war fought to the end — who actually wins and loses depends as much on the heart and stubbornness of the fighters as it does on the size and equipment of the armies.
Napoleon said, "Morale is to material as three is to one." Putting aside the propaganda of both sides, we have no way of knowing which side will win until after one side has conclusively won. Pushing for premature negotiation based on the claim that one outcome is assured only guarantees there will be a rematch.

About three notes in, trailing daughter #1 perked up, recognizing it from our collection. I’m supposed to be doing articles for tomorrow, but you have distracted us.
[DW] According to local reports, the attackers entered a Catholic church in Ondo state and opened fire on worshippers.
Gunmen have killed several worshippers in a Catholic church in southwestern Nigeria, the state governor said on Sunday.
Anakunrin Akeredolu, the governor of the Ondo state, condemned the "vile and satanic" attack on the St. Francis Church, vowing to capture the assailants and achieve justice.
"I urge our people to remain calm and vigilant. Do not take laws into your hands. I have spoken to the heads of the security agencies. I have equally been assured that security operatives would be deployed to monitor and restore normality to Owo kingdom," Akeredolu tweeted.
Adelegbe Timileyin, representative of Ondo’s Owo area in the country’s lower legislative chamber, said the church’s presiding priest was kidnapped during the attack. The politician also put the corpse count at over 50 people.
President Muhammadu Buhari condemned the attack, calling it "heinous."
WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE ATTACK?
The assailants stormed the church in the midst of the Sunday service, opening fire at the worshippers, local media reported. Some explosives were also used, but initial reports suggest the majority of injuries were due to gunshots.
The victims reportedly included members of the congregation, as well as children.
The identities of the perpetrators, who expeditiously departed at a goodly pace shortly after the attack, have yet to be confirmed. Local reports have pointed the finger at Fulani ... a peculiarly brutal tribe of Moslem herdsmen infesting Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and probably other places that are light on law and order and heavy on tribal identity... Herdsmen, suggesting members of the nomadic group carried out the attack to send a message to the governor.
Akeredolu’s recent policies have been seen as restrictive to the herdsmen’s activities in the state of Ondo.
Although Nigeria has witnessed acts of violence in recent years, such incidents have mostly centred in the northwest of Africa’s most populous country. The southwest — and Ondo state in particular — is regarded as a place of relative peace and calm.
The violence at St. Francis Catholic Church in Owo town, in Ondo State, happened during the morning service on Pentecost Sunday in a rare attack in the southwest of the African country.
A witness, who gave his name as Abayomi, said at least 20 worshippers had died in the attack.
'I was passing through the area when I heard a loud explosion and gunshots inside the church,' he continued.
He said he saw at least five gunmen on the church premises before he ran away for safety.
Gun and bomb attacks are rare in Ondo state, but Nigeria's military is battling a 12-year-old jihadist insurgency in the northeast, kidnapping gangs in the northwest and separatist agitation in the southeast.
Nigeria's security forces did not immediately respond to enquiries as to how the attack occurred or if there are any leads about suspects. Owo is about 215 miles east of Lagos.

When is the UN going to start investigating Christophobia like they are doing with Islamophobia? This is just one of dozens attacks on Christians that have killed hundres or even thousands in the last decade or so. Yet, aftera relativelyminor attack on a mosque, the UN sets up a commission to prevent Islamophobia.
By definition, a phobia is an IRRATIONAL fear of something. The person who suffers from the phobia is aware that it is irrational.
My fear and mistrust of Islam is definitely rational.

[RFERL] Kyrgyz security services say the banned Yakyn Inkar religious group
...also spelt Yaqyn Inkar, because Radio Free Europe does not have a stylebook entry for the group...
remains active in the country, running underground schools and promoting its ideology despite being outlawed as an holy warrior organization five years ago.
At least two suspected cell leaders of Yakyn Inkar were arrested in separate raids in the southern Osh Province and the northern Chui region in late March and May, respectively.

...FWIW, the book 'Blitzed' is one of the most fascinating pieces of history I've read in a while. The author makes a compelling case that meth and other narcotics may well have extended the war by a year or better.
Resistance® to the Taliban ...Arabic for students... Islamist group’s interim government that seized power in August 2021 is growing both inside and outside Afghanistan.
The National Resistance® Front of Afghanistan (NRF) has resumed its fight against the Taliban, and influential leaders of various ethnic groups also have started assembling an anti-Taliban force. However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... the United States and Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... are focusing their resources on the response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, so support from the international community has fallen short of what the anti-Taliban forces had been expecting.
According to multiple sources, the NRF declared it had resumed hostilities in the eastern province of Panjshir in early May. The NRF reportedly has attacked Taliban strongholds in that area. "The Taliban suffered many casualties, and the hospital was filled with injured Taliban fighters," a local resident told The Yomiuri Shimbun in a telephone interview.
Panjshir was the bastion of the Northern Alliance that fought against the former Taliban government that wielded power from 1996 to 2001. The NRF is currently headed by Ahmad Massoud, the son of former Northern Alliance leader and national hero Ahmad Shah Massoud.
The NRF has continued to fight against the Taliban since it seized power. The front paused hostilities over winter, regrouped and made preparations for the resumption of its combat operations. As domestic displeasure with the hardline rulers mounts, the NRF is calling for people across Afghanistan to rise up against the Taliban.
The uprising led by the "hero’s son" has been a major thorn in the Taliban’s side. On May 20, the Taliban mobilized several thousand fighters in Panjshir and launched a mop-up operation targeting the NRF. Reports that multiple local residents had been killed also flew back and forth.
‘ONE UMBRELLA’
Anti-Taliban movements also are afoot overseas. On May 17, Abdul Rashid Dostum ...ethnic Uzbek warlord who distinguished himself fighting the Soviets and the Taliban. The story that he had a bad guy run over with a tank is an exaggeration. It was an armored personnel carrier... , an ethnic Uzbek leader and a former Afghan vice president in the previous administration that collapsed, opened the first meeting of the Supreme Council of National Resistance® in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... ’s capital, Ankara. About 40 powerful leaders representing the Pashtun, Tajik and Hazara ...a grouping of Dari-speaking people of Sino-Tibetan descent inhabiting Afghanistan and Pakistain. They are predominantly Shia Moslems and not particularly warlike, which makes them favored targets... ethnic groups attended what turned out to be the "largest anti-Taliban meeting" since the Afghan government was toppled. The council agreed to bring together their various forces under "one umbrella," and called on the Taliban to form an inclusive administration. The council indicated it would be willing to launch military operations if the Taliban refused this demand.
These anti-Taliban forces had been counting on assistance from the international community. However, death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate... this lifeline has largely failed to materialize because the United States and Europe are up to their necks dealing with the invasion of Ukraine and, as things stand, lack the wherewithal to seriously get involved in Afghan matters. There are serious concerns that anti-Taliban forces could end up isolated and fighting without support if the international community fails to come through with assistance.
TERROR ATTACKS
These forces are not the Taliban’s only headache. Militant organizations such as the krazed killerIslamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group have been launching terrorist attacks in Afghanistan. Islamic State has grabbed credit for three explosions that killed nine people in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif on Wednesday. The Taliban’s efforts to bring stability and security to the nation have failed to make progress, and this turmoil is increasingly affecting residents’ daily lives.
Since regaining power, the Taliban has ignored international criticism and become increasingly oppressive, such as by closing junior high and high schools for girls. Some observers are worried that the Taliban, if it fears that civilians are siding with the anti-Taliban forces, could accelerate moves to control freedom of speech and security across Afghanistan.

Russia will win the war in the Ukraine, take the south and east to likely create a new country and leave the rest of the cadaver for Poland, Hungary, Romania, Lithuania and others to feast on.
After that, the USA will loose Europe
Germany Italy France will integrate with the Eurasia block
The inflation in the us will become a devaluation of the USA currency. NATO IS DEAD.
…that’s the reason that France was uninvited and booted out of the AUKUS preparation, and participation….

Last July, a new law went into effect in Washington state that was described as "police reform." House Bill 1054 made significant changes in how the police are allowed to do their jobs. Police unions had been protesting the measure, saying that it would negatively impact their ability to control crime, but the state’s Democrats cheered the bill as a way to bring more "equity" into the system.
