I dunno, I think being a white collar worker is a lot scarier to kids than a devil. Well or it should be.

Zaluzhnyi on what Ukraine needs - https://www.economist.com/by-invitation/2023/11/01/the-commander-in-chief-of-ukraines-armed-forces-on-what-he-needs-to-beat-russia Just seems like "everything" to be honest - drones, artillery, mine clearing equipment and reserves.

Thankfully no kids passed by, we used to get some real dumb ones that didn't understand a shut gat and exterior lights off meant we weren't participating.

"and the relevant authorities must find out which people in President Zelenskyy's inner circle do not believe Ukraine will win the war." Better responses from people on Twitter, I found, the author of the article is Russian and therefore is inherently evil. Western armed briagdes back into the fray in Avdiivka I guess.

Will be some interesting, if not amusing, UNSC meetings if they do that.

The people that died probably cheered on Hamas, so no biggie.

Maybe Israel did learn from Ukraine's marketing, some dude on MSNBC saying that if Hamas isn't stopped they'll come for the rest of us. Really not buying that, but have to admire the attempt

https://time.com/6329188/ukraine-volodymyr-zelensky-interview/ More interesting, seems a bit too gloomy though.

Interesting attitude to civilians getting killed with your first point there. Given Israeli conscription, that could cut the other way in a real nasty way. Also does ignore the time passed due to election and the ages of people involved. Not even sure the relevance of your second point, but seems to be reflexive response these days. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/10/30/canada-clarifies-its-stand-on-a-humanitarian-truce-00124372 Interesting balancing act with domestic politics here, well and I guess in other countries

The evidence that was a suicide bomber (or VBIED if I want to be some jargon wanker) people come up with is interesting, if just for the idea of trying to. The camera crew already filming, or the fact that the car has gas means they must be Hamas as no one else has fuel, or some secondary explosion I still can't quite see. Sucks to not be 'relatively civilized', I guess.

Not the worst cover. Starr's can't be beaten in my mind, though

https://apnews.com/article/ukraine-russia-war-malta-peace-talks-2916b90abed193fc6a6bcd7fc84aae1a Sounds like some diplomats wanted a trip to Malta.

That UK assessment seems like they just wrote something as they had to. She's interesting to follow on this, even if has Twitter snark as is required too often.

For sure, just found the presentation a bit silly. Not as silly as the guy bringing a rock to a UN meeting and acting like it was a WMD.

Haven't tested, but do bodies still explode into nothing when you drop them ?

https://news.sky.com/story/israel-accuses-hamas-of-commanding-attacks-from-inside-gaza-hospital-12994074 Israel still kind of sucks at this info war.

Blacksad is being given away.

Looks like the invasion or whatever operation they're doing is going to kick off soon. Air strikes picking up https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-middle-east-67223217

Bit unfair really, DPRK spends their money in a way EU citizens wouldn't enjoy. Also stretching the "we" there, hah. Keep seeing anecdotal moaning about lack of artillery and mortar ammo in Avdiivka though

Well Hamas have a bizarre relationship with morals, so I don't expect much from them. Even if they did I don't think Israel would agree - don't negotiate with terrorists - and invade anyway. International pressure matters not as the US is always going to back them (I guess the US vassal, the UK as well). At least the UN bickering continues - https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/10/25/israel-gaza-russia-us-united-nations/

Reminds me of But nah, just applies to uncool kids. The others enter a realm of greyness and nuance.

Was just an amusing story and an overreaction in my eyes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/25/israel-says-it-will-ban-un-staff-after-secretary-generals-comments "Speaking at a UN general debate on the Middle East in New York, Guterres created fury when he said: “It is important to … recognise the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.” He also said no injustice to the Palestinians could justify the appalling attacks by Hamas. Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, said on army radio: “Due to his remarks we will refuse to issue visas to UN representatives. We have already refused a visa for undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs, Martin Griffiths. The time has come to teach them a lesson.”
