I remember when we were outraged that Russia was deploying thermobaric munitions in Ukraine back in 2022
“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”

There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate
US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

Standouts for me: the well-crafted letter to Canadians from the King; the condolences from the King of Sweden to the Governor General of Canada; and sympathies from the President of Ukraine, who is at war but reached out to his Canadian ally.

A beautiful country and people. My heart breaks for them. This is an image from the day after the new year celebrations in 2020. The roads and streets of Kyiv were covered in heart shaped confetti

Just a joe in Canada, but kudos for the work you and your teams are doing. I wonder if funds were going towards mental health. After years of fighting and constant barrage on both front and home I believe many Ukrainians will find it difficult to return to normalcy. All will need assistance.

So if China and North Korea are sending troops to help Russia, why isn't the EU sending troops to help Ukraine?

The problem with training facilities inside Ukraine is they have to be protected from air attack. What Ukraine seems to need the most is air protection. They are likely better able to train NATO troops now in modern war than vice versa.

Russia is not winning this war.
Its casualty rates are surging, and its economy is struggling.

Today, Ministers will discuss how we can further support Ukraine.

On the table are proposals to establish two training facilities inside Ukraine and to mobilise additional private capital.

Former MI6 Chief Richard Moore:

Xi Jinping and the Chinese government are behind Putin.

Putin would already have lost were it not for the Chinese support he has garnered.

I think Ukrainians should be training Ukrainians at this point. Only Ukrainians know how to fight this war. The EU can hold a bake sale or actually take the Russian frozen funds. There is enough damage in Ukraine to defend any court action.

Video of the ICE-kidnapping victim under a sheet. You will also hear the officer say he saw them moving. I am inclined to believe the person was alive.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

For some reason, the ICE goon with his camera hit me in the gut…I know it’s not new but there’s something about the way he’s sauntering, masked, taking photos of…observers? If someone ever gets their hands on those SD cards, could be some interesting evidence.

Feeling dismayed/helpless about this announcement? The end of Wayne’s article also provides many ways for you to express your distaste in this decision to sell these vehicles to ICE. Don’t fall for “it’s just business.” Canadians have a choice to ignore / get loud!

🇫🇷 Macron: We must make Europe an independent power — a Single Market, but also an economic power.

End of Russia as a permanent provider of local energy. End of China as a main export market. The U.S. imposing tariffs on our economy and a coercion mechanism.
