Armita Garawand war erst 16. Ein Kind, eine Schülerin - ein ganzes Leben lag noch vor ihr. Die Brutalität des Regimes hat ihre Zukunft geraubt. Die Zukunft Irans ist seine Jugend. Die Zukunft Irans sind seine Frauen. Ihren Drang nach Freiheit kann das Regime nicht unterdrücken.

Details of US-supplied Zuni rockets on a Ukrainian Army Aviation Mi-24 - adapter is visible. Typically used on fixed wing aircraft in the US military though still effective on a helicopter.

🇸🇰🇺🇦 Luckily the previous government already sent most of the legacy kit including all the MiG-29s and the S-300 battery. Most of what would be sent now is ammo, including ammo madde by CSG - but IIRC Fico's friend runs it. A potential negative effect: Orban might have a co-vetoer against EU funds.

I can see a lot of ways in which, both literally and figuratively the fog of war can give rise to a chloropicrin claim. Indeed, mistaking a tear gas for something more sinister is one of the reasons that the Chemical Weapons Convention bans tear gas in warfare.

Some tweets about this stuff use these claims to also claim "XYZ unit doesn't have masks". Let me see if I can explain this is clear language: If true, you are highlighting a vulnerability to the enemy and you need to not do that.

Not surprising for us, but even now, the West finds it difficult to accept that Russian political parties, major companies, Russian Orthodox church, Russian foreign service, or nearly any other such Russian institutions don't lead a fully independent existence. They're fronts for security services.

In terms of colouring, the pollster opted for purple, the mix of dark red for the Left and blue for the AfD. If we add the orange typically reserved for the Free Voters, we get brown, I think.
