Yes, Russia actually attacked Ukraine in 2022. That brutal assault changed the strategic landscape across Europe and has led to an increase in defence expenditure across the EU. Today, we have news that Russia was responsible for a drone attack on Leipzig airport. There are #Russia #Ukraine #defense #RU #UA #EU #DE
“Russia has turned to a terrifying new tactic in its assaults on Ukraine, launching nonstop waves of armed drones in recent days into busy areas of the capital, Kyiv. The relentless attacks have left residents exhausted and on edge.” @siobhan_ogrady https://t.co/O2jHCcsP5o #Ukraine #Kyiv #Drones #RU #UA
32 years ago, the last Russian troops left Estonian soil and we secured our independence in full. Russia’s imperial project failed. Yet three decades later, its ambitions endure. The full‑scale assault on Ukraine is only one manifestation of the Kremlin’s drive to seize what #Estonia #Ukraine #Kremlin #EE #RU #UA
The Pathology of Masculinity and Femininity Without Cultural Restraint Both sexes have evolutionary roles: men developed strength for protection, provision, and competition; women developed beauty and selectiveness for pair-bonding and survival. Culture channels these drives—family structure, dating norms, fatherhood, shame, religion—guiding strength toward building and beauty toward commitment. Remove the norms and the drives seek new avenues. For men, the open channel becomes force: aggression and risk can detach from responsibility, yielding robbery, assault, gang violence, and predation. The shadow side of masculinity is strength used to take rather than protect. For women, the channel shifts to extraction through simulated intimacy: monetized desire via platforms and influencer economies can turn closeness into leverage, often without the pair-bonding or family life it was built to support. The masculine ideal is protector and disciplined provider; its pathology is thug or criminal. The feminine ideal is nurturer and guardian of commitment; its pathology is the seller of simulated intimacy and extractor of attention. Both are corruptions of genuine virtues. Three accelerants intensified these patterns: stigma’s collapse, technology’s scalability of desire, and weakened communities and absent fathers. The root cause is the breakdown of family norms. Men are less destructive when bonded and mentored; women are less exploitative when raised to value enduring commitment. Consequences mirror each other: unchecked male pathology produces violence; unchecked female pathology produces mistrust, loneliness, and demographic decline. Both arise when culture denies that masculine and feminine virtues must be shaped and channeled rather than suppressed.
Wenn das WSJ recht hat, bestätigt es meine geäußerten Annahmen: Die US-Fachleute wussten sehr wohl, dass ein paar Bomben auf den Iran keinen Sieg bringen werden. Trump wusste es allerdings besser. "Days before going to war with Iran in February, President Trump summoned his intelligence chief to the Oval Office to ask whether a full-on assault was a good idea. Iran was at its weakest point in decades, senior aides and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told him, providing Trump the rare opportunity to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program and bolster his legacy as a peacemaker. The question was whether a large-scale attack would work and possibly topple the regime. Then-Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard outlined assessments from America’s intelligence apparatus. According to people familiar with the meeting, she told Trump that killing Iran’s supreme leader would likely usher in a more hard-line regime open to acquiring nuclear weapons. Tehran would rush to close the Strait of Hormuz, destabilizing the global energy market. And it would strike U.S. forces and partners in the Middle East, prompting questions about American resolve and reliability with allies." #Iran #Trump #USForeignPolicy
Despite Ukraine celebrating its independence, President Putin vowed an even more devastating military response to Ukrainian attacks, resulting in powerful Russian assaults on major Ukrainian retail businesses, accompanied by significant civilian consequences and an increase in casualties in the war.

Last night, Russia carried out one of the most brutal assaults on Kyiv since the start of its full‑scale invasion. It was a coordinated barrage of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones deliberately aimed at civilian infrastructure. 12 people have been killed, 40 #Kyiv #Russia #WarInUkraine #RU #UA
Contrary to the pessimistic outlook of psychological research on the 'bystander effect', the vast majority of victims of real-life assaults are helped by bystanders. However, during commercial robberies, most bystanders hold back.

To repel China's invasion, Taiwan is building fleets of flying drones and unmanned attack boats, Ukraine-like: overwhelming an invading force with waves of drones, missiles, artillery, making an amphibious assault so risky that China is deterred trying https://t.co/V0oRBuhsZP #TaiwanDefense #Drones #ChinaInvasion #TW #CN #UA
With their assault on science, Trumpists aren’t just harming US, they’re harming themselves—Their subjugation of all science to political imperatives has no equivalent in a democracy; it is reminiscent of Stalin’s Soviet Union: an act of wanton self-injury https://t.co/mQgC8a9ctd #ScienceMatters #Trumpism #Democracy #US #RU
