Geolocated footage published on October 18 indicates that #Ukrainian forces advanced north of Pishchanivka (14km east of Kherson City and 3km from the Dnipro River) and into Poyma .

A prominent Russian milblogger claimed that two UKR “assault groups” landed on the east bank of the Dnipro River and broke through initial Russian defenses, temporarily occupying all of Poyma & positions on the northern outskirts of Pishchanivka on the afternoon of Oct 17.

I just read postings from people I follow and haven't seen the hatred others talk about. Two people whose postings I really value, @Render and @phase2 , I think are swamped in the hatred, enough even to push them away for a time. I look forward to their return. More, I pray for an end of the hatred.

I should note that as a goy I might not recognize an antisemitic attack as such, if subtle code words are used. Nor non overt anti Muslim hatred. There's much overt hate in the world.

I mean the IDF hasn't even sent troops into Gaza yet. That's what we really need to watch and monitor in relation to what Hezbollah and Iran do.

Unless the anti-war protesters took a shit in the Cannon Rotunda and attacked the Capitol Police with bear spray, please spare me your false equivalence.

Steele: Trump Declassification Decision Led to Russian Sources’ Disappearance

the ex-MI6 officer said the former president’s choice to declassify testimony given to Robert Mueller’s investigation into Trump’s alleged links with Russia was “one of the most egregious breaches of intelligence rules and protocol by the U.S. government in recent times.” Steele, who once ran MI6’s Russia desk, added: “Two of the named Russian sources have not been seen or heard of since

The unfortunate reality is that this will be the biggest conflict Israel has been in since its establishment as a state. The fatality numbers are piling up. Thus far, the Yom Kippur War has the most fatalities. But if things continue as they are, that will pale in comparison to what is coming. And I'm not a conspiracy guy or someone who exaggerates for shock value.

Now when we find out something we dont like about ourselves but its true- we have the opportunity to change here in a democratic country.

We effect that change through voting without violence or intimidation.

In turn, we change our outward take towards others- understanding- learning cultures.

Monarchies dont have this outlet

Theocratic or autocratic states dont have this outlet

Those in power just kill the opposition.

Gaza hospital -

There is not yet any proof Hamas didn't do it nor proof IDF did. So any finger pointing is foolish. Know your sources before making assumptions. A big part of warfare is propaganda. Hamas would have no regrets using Palestinians as human shields.

A forensic investigation could fact find, but that's not going to happen in an active war zone.

Whomever did it, it's a war crime.
