russia bombed Ukrainian cities for nearly two days straight — hitting homes, schools, businesses, infrastructure, even a diplomatic residence — while claiming it wants de-escalation. #Ukraine asks for more air defence and international pressure. Source: Ukraine.ua
Black poster with white text listing buildings and facilities Russia allegedly attacked in less than two days — including kindergartens, schools, residential buildings, warehouses, a children's home, a food market, a civilian vessel, an ice cream factory, critical infrastructure, and the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. A "UKRAINE" logo in Ukrainian flag colors appears at the top right, and the poster ends with the statement "RUSSIA IS A TERRORIST STATE."

On 26 September 1983, Stanislav Petrov was the duty officer at the command center for the Oko nuclear early-warning system when the system reported that a missile had been launched from the United States, followed by up to four more. Petrov correctly judged the reports to be a false alarm.

OTD in 1938 Hitler gave a speech demanding the Sudetenland be handed to Germany. He said his countrymen were being mistreated and needed protection. Also promised it was his last territorial demand. He was lying. Imagine that happening today.
