A Wagner colonel has turned himself in to the ICC....... https://eenvandaag.avrotros.nl/item/waarom-verklaring-van-voormalig-wagner-officier-belangrijk-is-essentieel-om-getuigen-van-binnenuit-te-hebben/ Translation; According to experts, the fact that Russian ex-officer Igor Salikov wants to testify at the International Criminal Court about Russian war crimes in Ukraine is important for legal investigations: "Witnesses from the inside can be important for a criminal case." Salikov arrived in the Netherlands today and wants to report to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. It is the first time that a senior (ex) officer from Russia has reported. These types of 'witnesses from the inside' are important for the investigation of war crimes, experts emphasize.

Why do ducks never grow up ? Because they grow down.

The better side of Hobson's Choice.

Lloyd Austin saying that the US is talking to Israel about being more "surgical" and less brute force in their actions.

"I lied to the press to protect my family" - fucking ace PR strategy. Totally going to get away with that.

The IDF said so: ( From the BBC ) - Israeli officials have admitted that killing the three men who were holding a white flag was a breach of "rules of engagement".

Ultimately they are only as 'smart' as the person pulling the trigger of flipping the switch.

The ones they failed to follow when shooting those 3 hostages.

I am not the Iranian Government or the Houthi in Yemen.

Yep, who'd be THAT stupid ?

Considering how "smart" modern weapons are claimed to be, and how careful the IDF claim their Rules of Engagement are, I don't think it's low at all. What do you think the ratio of dead Hamas fighters to dead non-combatants is ?

How is Western public opinion going ? Palestinians or IDF ?

Probably over 20 thousand dead in Gaza, hardly accidental.

You do understand that some people see deliberate policy rather than "collateral damage", right ?

Roger Waters, formerly of Pink Floyd, reckons they were false flag actions.

Yet another Tory MP under investigation by the Commons Standards Committee. This time it is Miriam Cates, who got in at the last GE, and is a member of the "New Conservatives". Currently 8 MPs are under investigation by the Committee, 7 are Tories, the 8th is Bob Stewart who resigned the Tory whip after his public order conviction.

Crash

So 436 pages after your OP telling us about how readily we will get a trans-Atlantic trade deal, you finally accept the whole thing was a pile of unicorn shit.

I often am.

When US public opinion, directed by the mass media, determines ' enough is enough'. After all, their tax dollars are feeding the IDF need for weapons and ammunition.

Try imagining Alex's posts being spoken in Moggy's voice. That's how I perceive them.

They even have electricity.

Our youngest says anything south of the Mersey is France. And north of Blackburn is the gorgeous Trough of Bowland, and further on is the Lake District.
