The U.K. has sent Ukraine 30 wooden flat-pack decoy tanks for every 5 real tanks they send. Russia has been wasting a whole lot of missiles and drones on decoys, and exposing their positions in the process.

Universities in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union thought giving in to government demands would save their independence

I've been a massive critic of #Harvard based on some of the alumni they've created. But respect where respect is due: thank you for holding the line against the Trump administration!

Look at this photo. By Israel's own count, there were approximately 30,000 Hamas fighters on Oct. 7, 2023. Now look at this photo again and ask yourself if destroying Hamas is Israel's real goal.
The journalist who took this photo of Jabalia, Gaza was killed by an Israeli airstrike this March.
