Fighting is still continuing in Sudan sporadically despite it being day two of a ceasefire, but overall has lulled and aid is trickling in. The situation is still very dire with bodies in the streets and hundreds of thousands of refugees.

I haven't really talked about South Africa because it doesn't fit the "breaking news" format of these posts, but it's a relatively slow news day so I have time. Since about 2007 there have been electrical issues with repeated blackouts, but since the beginning of 2022 the frequency has increased significantly (over 205 times in 2022 alone) and the electrical company says it will just get worse as winter approaches. Mismanagement was the initial cause, although two large power plants were built that should've solved the problem, but they keep breaking down and can't reach their full output. All of this is tied in with governmental corruption, bribery, etc., particularly under former President Zuma, but extended beyond his tenure. With unemployment at 33%, rampant poverty, and a recent cholera outbreak, all of this is just icing on the cake.

Greece had an election last Sunday, and although Prime Minister Mitsotakis' New Democracy party won 146 seats, that's not enough to form a majority. Mitsotakis decided to not form a coalition and to roll the dice for a second general election on June 25th to secure an overall majority, in the meantime leaving a caretaker government.

Typhoon Mawar, category 4, hit Guam, knocking out most of the island's electricity.

South Carolina passed an abortion ban after six weeks of pregnancy with exceptions for rape, incest, life of mother, and fatal abnormalities.

A student lit fire to her dorm after her phone was confiscated. There was no proper egress and the doors were locked to prevent students from sneaking out, so 19 were killed.

Half-asleep, highly distracted, pacing the curb at 4:50 of the AM, saw a Yankee slip on wet grass and fall on his ass, saw him get halfway through his attempt to stand only to slip again and fall on his face, went rushing over--I forgot he was a Yankee, you see--to see if he was okay. Got back the most indignantly incredulous parroted “am I alright there, baby“ imaginable, just immaculate Spike From Buffy delivery here, babes, this was the most “out for a walk, bitch” out-spit non-question I’ve ever heard. why are Yankees like this. He never told me if he was alright.

Buying lottery tickets...what's $2 and a dream?

Do you buy lottery tickets? Do you check them right away? For me: yes and no. That was yes, I buy lottery tickets and no, I do not check them right away.Whenever I buy one, PSM asks “did you check the ticket yet?” “have you checked your numbers yet?” Um, not yet, I will. I know it sounds crazy, but…the longer I wait to check the ticket, the longer the dream stays alive that we might have won!…

The empire can and will only undesrand brute strength and military might,as such, the Chinese government is sure to deliver a clear message to it

The post is machine translated

Translation is at the bottom

The collective is on telegram

⚠️ L'ESERCITO POPOLARE DI LIBERAZIONE INVIA DUE BOMBARDIERI OLTRE LO STRETTO DI MIYAKO, IN UNA POSSIBILE SIMULAZIONE DI UN ATTACCO ALLA BASE STATUNITENSE "ANDERSEN" SULL'ISOLA DI GUAM ⚠️

✈️ il 21 aprile, due Bombardieri a Lungo Raggio H-6K, del 28° Reggimento Bombardieri della 10ª Divisione Aerea del Comando Orientale, hanno oltrepassato lo Stretto di Miyako, per poi tornare indietro, simulando - molto probabilmente - un possibile attacco verso obiettivi nemici, rappresentati dagli Stati Uniti 🇺🇸

🤔 Solitamente, i Bombardieri dell'Esercito Popolare di Liberazione volano verso la Base Aerea USA "Andersen", che si trova sull'Isola di Guam 🇬🇺

🌟 Nel 2020, l'Aeronautica Militare dell'EPL pubblicò una simulazione di un attacco alla Base Navale USA di Guam da parte di un Bombardiere H-6N 💥

🌟 Il 19/12 del 2022, il Comando Orientale dell'EPL inviò due Bombardieri Navali H-6J oltre lo Stretto di Miyako, fino alla Sezione Occidentale dell'Oceano Pacifico, percorrendo quindi la medesima rotta dei due H-6K di ieri ✈️

⚠️ THE PEOPLE'S LIBERATION ARMY SENDS TWO BOMBERS ACROSS THE MIYAKO STRAIT, IN A POSSIBLE SIMULATION OF AN ATTACK ON THE US BASE "ANDERSEN" ON THE ISLAND OF GUAM ⚠️

✈️ on April 21, two H-6K Long-Range Bombers, of the 28th Bomber Regiment of the 10th Air Division of the Eastern Command, passed the Miyako Strait, and then turned back, simulating - most likely - a possible attack on targets enemies, represented by the United States 🇺🇸

🤔 Usually, People's Liberation Army Bombers fly to the US Air Force Base "Andersen", which is located on the island of Guam 🇬🇺

🌟 In 2020, the PLA Air Force released a simulation of an attack on the US Naval Base Guam by an H-6N Bomber 💥

🌟 On 12/19, 2022, the PLA Eastern Command sent two H-6J Naval Bombers over the Miyako Strait, to the Western Section of the Pacific Ocean, thus following the same route as yesterday's two H-6Ks ✈️
