This is not about war crimes in other countries. its about Bucha and others carried out by Russians in Ukraine those are the facts and not your off topic deflection. The Bucha massacre (Ukrainian: Бучанська різанина, romanized: Buchanska rizanyna; Russian: Резня в Буче, romanized: Reznya v Buche) was the mass murder of Ukrainian civilians and prisoners of war[12] by the Russian Armed Forces during the fight for and occupation of the city of Bucha as part of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Success, got him. Man arrested over suspected terror attack explosion at French synagogue LA GRANDE MOTTE, France (AFP) — Police arrested a man suspected of setting fires and causing an explosion at a synagogue in southern France on Saturday in what officials suspect was a terror attack, the country’s interior minister said. “The suspected perpetrator of the criminal fires at the synagogue has been detained,” minister Gerald Darmanin said on X, adding that officers who made the arrest came under fire. Police had said they were hunting for a man who, draped in a Palestinian flag, was believed to have set fires at a synagogue and triggered an explosion that injured an officer in the seaside resort of La Grande Motte. https://www.timesofisrael.com/man-arrested-over-suspected-terror-attack-explosion-at-french-synagogue/

The boy that cried wolf. A bit like those that keep going on about WW3 and MAD Ukraine’s punch through Russian defenses in the first foreign invasion since World War II has laid bare Moscow’s apparently illusory red lines. Ukraine keeps crossing Russia’s red lines. Putin keeps blinking. If Russia’s territorial integrity were threatened, “we will certainly use all the means at our disposal to protect Russia and our people. It’s not a bluff,” he said a few months later in September. “The citizens of Russia can be sure that the territorial integrity of our Motherland, our independence and freedom will be ensured — I emphasize this again — with all the means at our disposal,” making a clear reference to Russia’s nuclear weapons. But Ukraine’s punch through Russian defenses in the first foreign invasion since World War II exposed Russia’s military flaws and laid bare Moscow’s apparently illusory red lines. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/08/24/putin-red-lines-war-ukraine/ https://archive.ph/NxCRR

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Bkk Brian replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
Israeli army radio reports that about 100 Israeli fighter jets preemptively struck more than 200 Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon where rockets were prepared to fire at Israeli territory. Foreign Minister @Israel_katz addressed dozens of foreign ministers around the world this morning, calling on them to support Israel. The Foreign Minister stressed that Israel acted after definitively identifying a large-scale planned attack of missiles and drones by the terrorist organization Hezbollah towards targets in Israel, and carried out a preemptive strike to thwart the attack. The minister emphasized that Israel is acting to protect its citizens and territory against the axis of evil led by Iran, which has a declared goal of bringing about Israel's destruction. Minister Katz emphasized that Israel does not seek an all-out war and will act according to developments on the ground. The Foreign Minister stressed to his counterparts around the world that at this time, their support for the State of Israel and its right to defend itself against the Iranian axis of evil and its proxy organizations, especially Hezbollah, is crucial. -

#MakeNoiseForUkraine Mapping Ukraine’s Surprise Invasion of Russia Ukraine’s incursion into Kursk brought about one of the largest territorial changes since the first month of the war, when Russia rapidly advanced toward major Ukrainian cities. The head of Ukraine’s armed forces, Gen. Oleksandr Syrsky, has claimed that Ukraine is in control of about 490 square miles of Russian territory. If confirmed, that would represent roughly the same amount of land that Russian forces seized in Ukraine from January through July of this year, according to the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/08/23/world/europe/ukraine-russia-kursk-invasion-map.html https://archive.ph/cWD1F
