P.S. In fact, Russia carried out a direct attack on the whole of Europe by shooting down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17 / MAS17) and killing European and other citizens with impunity on July 17, 2014. Justice demands that the Russian invading army be completely destroyed in Ukraine...
"''The Stewart Girls'' as they are known at the plant, look over a shell which they helped make. Mrs. Stewart holds the fuse end; she is supervisor in the fuse filling shop. Barbara is supervisor in the primer filling shop."

ahmedeldin: Between documenting death and destruction, and struggling just to survive @ismail.jood shares a human moment from a hero @motaz_azaiza singing a song from his soul about loving your homeland from Syria’s @faiayo.
Ismail’s caption said, “We try as much as possible to stay away from the atmosphere of war and try to create a pleasant atmosphere away from the suffering that we see every day.”
That is what we Palestinians do. Despite decades of deliberate dehumanization. We don’t just survive ethnics cleansing and occupation, we find ways for our souls to still thrive.

We are along the road parallel 276.4. Our artillery is dropping a barrage directly on us. For heavens sake stop it.
so china has completely dropped the mask when it comes to wanting peace in ukraine. currently the russian minister of defense sergei shoigu and a chinese delegation are in north korea to make an arms deal. its long been the case that north korea can’t do anything on the international stage without china��s permission and assistance.
as a side note chinese shell companies are the reason why sanctions against north korea have to be updated every few months. once a company is proven to have ties with north korea its shut down, renamed and reopened for business. but thats how sanctions actually work in the real world. china taking their cut ensures that north korean import/export power is reduced. a similar dynamic is working with shell companies in georgia and kazakhstan aiding russia.
at least now we can put to bed the idea that china wanted a peace negotiation to end this war. point blank they profit from it too much to halt it. rock bottom oil prices from russia in exchange for (so far) plausibly deniable aid like electronic components, generic body armour and gun accessories. but now china gets to skim off the top of a new north korean partnership with russia.
there’s a lot of speculation that china sees the russian invasion as a legitimisation of the plans to annex taiwan but firstly the CCP has never really cared about international law but the biggest reason for their shallow support of russia is the profit margin. but its apparently only the US military industrial complex funding the war for stock prices if you listen to the tankies,
I was watching something where a character has a sudden moment of dizziness and sarcastically thought Am I pregnant?? because I'm so used to this being the beginning of that reveal being teased out in an interminable manner.
Then I remembered that there's actually zero way this cis(presumably het) male historical figure is going to have a pregnancy reveal.

Attorney-General Not Making Comment on Pickering Death
----
‘I am ordering a copy of the evidence to be sent to Hon. C. D. Howe, minister of munitions,’ declared Attorney-General Gordon Conant today, discussing the inquest at Pickering Monday into the death of Alex. Dodwell. Dodwell was killed when a live shell exploded during a buffing process at a munitions plant last June. Herbert Moodie, Dodwell’s foreman, who held the shell, lost his right eye.
Evidence brought out at the inquest showed that 60 per cent of a shipment of casings received from a Montreal firm were defective, necessitating the buffing process.
‘I am offering no comment,’ replied Mr. Conant when asked if he would make any suggestions to the munitions minister.
