"Regardless of which scenario will unfold on a global level in the coming years, the continuation of international conflicts is, unfortunately, extremely likely. This is partly due to the fact that ongoing fundamental changes —and the opportunities they present— fuel ambitions and the willingness to take risks for the sake of seemingly massive profit." Russian President Vladimir Putin said today that international conflicts are very likely to continue as the world changes, but the situation will improve as, he said, Western hegemony wanes.

There is no doubt that he wanted to commit suicide. While authorities in the Middle East are investigating the unprecedented attack on the cockpit of a Flydubai flight, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu argued that the perpetrator had undergone "Islamist radicalization" and acted with the intention of downing the aircraft.

🚨 Today we asked something very simple about the filling up in Tempes: Pavlos Marinakis had declared that the "work" was done to lift the carriages and find people alive. Adonis Georgiadis said that voices and cries could be heard. Makarios Lazaridis said it was a matter of human lives. 📌 However, the official report states that the last trapped survivors had been freed by 00:20. When large cranes and a bulldozer started arriving around 04:00, the operation was now about retrieving bodies. ❓ So we asked: Were you uninformed about what had really happened or were you consciously lying that the cranes were going to retrieve living people? ❌ To this question, the government spokesman did not respond. 🎯 Instead of answering, he followed the classic tactic: He tried to divert the discussion, attacking the journalist who posed the question, talking again about "career" and "weaponizing" human pain. ❓ But who is really making a career out of this case? The journalist who asks what the relatives want to be asked or a government spokesman who is paid to defend the government's positions? 💬 We are neither paid based on whether the government does well nor do we have any interest in whether a government that defends what happened after the accident will communicate well. Another ⚠️ And most importantly: these questions are raised by the relatives themselves. How is it that the one who conveys the relatives' question is "weaponizing" their pain, while the one who represents a government that treats the relatives as opponents (according to their statement) appears to be the one who respects human pain? 🔴 Then he said something else. That then he "had no such authority." And immediately afterward claimed that later he simply "transfers the real data as they are." ❓ But if he had no authority and did not know what had happened on the ground, how did he know that the work was done to find people alive? ⚖️ Here there are two possibilities. Either they did not know what had really happened and yet they spoke publicly with certainty. Or they did know. One is a huge issue of criminal incompetence. The other is much worse. 🕯️ And we are talking about a case in which there are people mourning their children and relatives. 🔎 That’s why we insisted. We asked him again, now that there is an official report: Do you still insist that the specific work was done to find people alive? Do you still stand by what you said then? ❌ He did not answer there either. ⚽ And then the familiar refrain followed. The ball is in the stands. 🎭 The classic Machiavellian tactic: I do not answer today to what you are asking me. I load it onto a third party and preferably into an indefinite future, when perhaps I won’t even be here to bear the political cost of the answer. ⚖️ The "independent" Justice will decide. Somehow. Somewhere. Someday. 📍 In short: you ask him if he acknowledges that the government made inaccuracies about the filling up and if he still defends what he said then. And instead of answering, he tells you that Justice, somehow, somewhere, someday, will decide. (translated)

3️⃣ Thoughts after watching the shocking clips from the airplane: 1. When you are in the same space with 170 Israelis, it is almost certain that among them there will be several dozen well-trained reserve soldiers. A company. It is likely that some of them will have fought. 2. Those who stood up to fight the terrorist were men. When immediate dangerous physical intervention is required, men are usually the ones who intervene. This is explained by both biological and social factors. Women tend to have other gifts. I’m stating the obvious, you might say. Not for the neo-feminists. 3. In the end, the passengers were singing “Od Avinu Chai, Am Yisrael Chai,” meaning “Our father lives on, the people of Israel live.” They experienced it - and logically - as yet another victory against those who hate them and want to destroy them as a Nation. A people with such a mentality cannot be defeated. (translated)

Mr. Prime Minister, I apologize in advance. I asked for my luggage ten times so that I could change clothes for this meeting. — It is my honor. You honor us; you are the hero. How did you do it? — It was incredible… We are a nation of lions, right? A nation like a lion, isn’t it? — Exactly. — I grabbed the perpetrator, I caught him by the neck and, first of all, I pulled him out. — What did he do with those instruments? What did he do? He was trying to destroy the instruments to... — Exactly that… To disable the airplane. — Did you see that? — Yes. — Okay. — We pulled him out. It was a matter of seconds. The airplane had its nose down like this. I called the Israelis who were with us on the plane. I called them and they came. Two more kids came near me. I told them we had subdued him there and I rushed back inside. I pulled the controls, I started pulling them, and then... — Did you pull the controls? — Yes. (translated)

I don't know if you were born in 2000 and simply don't remember because you were kids, but allow me to remind you of some things from the last twenty years (not to go many years further back)... Because you may think you are in a wealthy country that simply does not want to be powerful, but you are just idiots... Greece was struggling with tooth and nail to maintain respectable Armed Forces. We reached a point that no other European country had reached. I am not saying that the officials were not decent, but it was not enough. There was no money. The country had been crushed by your choices at the ballot box. And suddenly, an effort is being made and the country is trying to recover. And from the 20 abandoned Mirage, we ended up with 24 Rafale. From 80 (and I'm saying a lot) operational F-16s (30s-50s-52+ and Adv) we found ourselves with 83 F-16 Vipers and awaiting the arrival of 20 F-35s. From the Kortenaer, we ended up with 4 FDI and 2 Bergamini. From the Tor M1, the OSA, and the rotten S-300, we ended up with Barak, with Spyder, with David's Sling... From the PAV, the Tow, and the Milan, we ended up with Barak MX. From M110A2 we ended up with Paladin, Spike NLOS, and PULS... Many can express disagreements about some type of ship or aircraft, about quantities and numbers, but you foolish creatures, you never found a good word to say, only to spew your party agenda that smells like vomit. And when someone tells you this to your face, you use whatever label is easiest for your poor mind. This is not the first time. We had the same situation when the undersigned "dared" to congratulate Kammenos for signing the upgrade of the F-16 to Viper. Same bullshit back then, same bullshit today. Greece is NEVER above all for you. ALWAYS the party and your ideology are above the Homeland and the Nation. I urinate on your faces. Uncle Appelaos. (translated)
