Storm Shadow missiles are 100% effective in Ukraine, – Reznikov.
"I can say that of the total number of Storm Shadow launches that have already taken place, all 100% hit the targets set by the General Staff. 100 out of 100, absolutely effective," the Minister of Defense said on the telethon.
In addition, Reznikov emphasized that Ukraine should strengthen air defense for the winter.

Is this the consequence of secret deals between the U.S. and the Taleban regime? Afghanistan is building an Army out for Western modern weapons and vehicles, getting ammo and spare parts from... nobody knows (?)

HEART OF UKRAINE!
Ganna Plikhchynska from Stepova Dolyna village, Mykolaiv region. She evacuated with her cow Lana when the full-scale invasion began and returned after her village was de-occupied.
She had to turn into a sapper for her cow. Everyday, before letting Lana out to the pasture, Ganna looks for explosives.
She collects the small ones herself.
For the big ones she marks the spot and calls the police.

Ukrainian supermodel Alina Baikova came to Cannes Film Festival wearing a "F**K YOU PUTIN" T-shirt. Security tried to shield her clothes from view.
This happened during a premiere of The Old Oak movie by Ken Loach. Reportedly, security acted that way because any type of protests are forbidden during the festival.

Driving a big SUV seems like just wasted resources, but measuring it makes sense. When necessary those materials and fuel can be used to build and power a tank or a bomber. From the point of view of a nation state that is mainly interested is its self-preservation GDP makes perfect sense as a metric.
A #welfare economic machine can be transformed into a #war machine when necessary.
>Historically, wars have been financed through #inflationary mechanisms, such as printing #money. This practice enables governments to fund #military operations without immediate financial consequences. Instead, costs are passed on to citizens through higher prices and a weaker #currency.

According to a story at AlterNet:
"U.S. sold weapons to roughly 60% of world’s authoritarian nations in 2022"
_________________________
The U.S. has been the world's largest arms dealer since the end of the Cold War. Data released in March showed that the U.S. accounted for 40% of global weapons exports from 2018 to 2022.
President Joe Biden claims that the United States is leading 'democracies' in a fight against 'autocracies' to establish a peaceful international order, but his administration approved weapons sales to nearly three-fifths of the world's authoritarian countries in 2022.
Despite the White House's lofty rhetoric, it is actively bolstering the military power of a majority of the world's authoritarian countries, from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to dozens of others. Washington showers Israel with $3.8 billion in military support each year, resources that the government uses to violently dispossess and frequently kill Palestinians at will.
"President Biden's preferred framing of international politics as a battle between democracies and autocracies lends itself more to a self-righteous foreign policy than an honest or productive one," said Stephen Semler of the Security Policy Reform Institute. "Dividing the world between democratic and autocratic countries — in the spirit of 'with us or against us' — makes conflict more likely and has had a chilling effect on calls for diplomacy and détente."
_________________________
Interesting, isn't it? Biden's rhetoric, just like Trump's and Obama's and Bush's and Clinton's, etc., makes conflict more likely. Which, in turn, means more arms sales for U.S. capitalists.
What a terrible system we live under.

Third, even if #Zelensky DID give orders for #Ukraine to plan & carry out these kinds of operations inside #Russia, he'd be 1000% within his rights to do so, so long as they didn't deliberately target purely civilian objects. I'm not a #war #lawyer or litigator of any kind, but even the occupation of villages in RU territory could maybe be permissible if special care was taken not to harm or permanently displace the local civ population, especially if the end goal was to return it to RU. 3/N

"Your occassional reminder that in 2016 alone, America dropped nearly three bombs every hour, 24 hours a day. A staggering 26,171 bombs rained down on Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Libya, Somalia and Pakistan - that’s seven Muslim-majority territories. The USA was running special operations in no less than 138 countries, 70% of the world’s nations. Since the so-called War on Terror was launched in 2002, the "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave" has been responsible for the deaths of at least four million civilians, and the maiming or displacement of tens of millions more."
