  2. Russia's double tap terror tactics at work again Russia launches 'double-tap' attack on rescue workers in Sumy Oblast Russian forces launched a "double-tap" attack on first responders as they were curbing the aftermath of the previous attack in Sumy Oblast on July 21, the State Emergency Service said. Overnight, Russian forces launched a large-scale attack with 39 drones and five missiles across Ukraine. At least one missile successfully hit critical infrastructure in Sumy Oblast, and two drones were downed over the region, according to local authorities. Russian troops also shelled Sumy Oblast 20 times overnight with mortars, and deployed mines and FPV (first-person view) drones, causing 44 explosions, the Sumy Oblast Military Administration reported. No casualties had been reported at the time of publication. https://kyivindependent.com/russia-launches-double-tap-attack-on-rescue-workers-in-sumy-oblast/
  3. A newly released video from shortly after Oct 7, shows Palestinians in Gaza cheering and celebrating as 24-year-old hostage Matan Zangauker, who was kidnapped from Israel to Gaza, is taken through Khan Younis. Remind me again about those Palestinian ‘civilians’ … Hostage Matan Zangauker’s mom publishes clip showing him in Gaza after Oct. 7 attack The mother of a hostage held by Hamas published on Tuesday a short video filmed in the Gaza Strip after the October 7 attack, in which her son Matan Zangauker is seen squeezed between two terrorists on a motorcycle. In the clip, which Hebrew media outlets reported was discovered by Israeli forces in Gaza and recently shown to the family, Zangauker is briefly seen being taken down a street as onlookers gleefully ululate. According to assessments, the video is from Zangauker’s first few days in the Strip and was filmed on the outskirts of the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis. https://www.timesofisrael.com/hostage-matan-zangaukers-mom-publishes-clip-showing-him-in-gaza-after-oct-7-attack/
  4. That's without the adult civilians left perishing in Russia too. 7,000 Ukrainian civilians currently held in Russian-controlled prisons. These people are held in dire conditions, often abused and tortured, without any means of communication. They are also trapped in a legal limbo, as international law prohibits the capture and exchange of civilians for prisoners of war. https://kyivindependent.com/stuck-in-legal-limbo-ukrainian-civilians-endure-torture-in-russian-prisons/
  5. Map of the humanitarian zone, look at the red markers where Hamas terrorists have themselves embedded and firing rockets from. Typical example of the use of human shields by them. Al Jazeera will be along next saying Palestinians killed in humanitarian zone not mentioning they were terrorists that were targeted amongst the civilians https://x.com/SpencerGuard/status/1815376965056233965
  6. There's nothing old about still being held hostage by the terrorists. Its still happening now. the rest of your post is nonsense and nothing to do with it. But its ok, I understand your view point very well: “If you’re tearing down the posters of hostages, you’re not “pro-Palestinian.” You’re pro-Hamas. You’re not just Anti-Israel. You’re Antisemitic.”
  7. Confirmation finally through.......... https://x.com/DrEliDavid/status/1814960928837751233 Horrific "Imagine making the horrifying choice to face gunfire rather than being burned alive."
  8. Still not sorted out the ball bearing problem in Russia A quarter of Moscow's Il-76 planes failed due to low-quality parts, Russian media reports Russia has lost five of its 18 Il-76 MD-90A aircraft due to poor-quality wheel bearings, the state-run media outlet Kommersant and the independent publication Important Stories reported on July 19. Il-76 planes are military aircraft designed for the transportation of troops and cargo. Russia's Investigative Committee has opened a criminal investigation against the Balashikhinsky Foundry and Mechanical Plant (BLMZ), the company that supplied the failed parts. https://kyivindependent.com/a-quarter-of-moscows-il-76-planes-failed-due-to-low-quality-parts-russian-media-reports/
  9. Need to read your own posts, your claim was the US was saying this' Your own post says : a former U.S. intelligence official.
  10. Actually the big lesson is for the poster I addressed it to.
  11. it's a hop step and jump to MAD. Russia the boy who cried wolf or rather in your case @thaibeachlovers who keeps crying MAD Russia’s retreat from Crimea makes a mockery of the West’s escalation fears This week marked another milestone in the Battle of the Black Sea as the Russian Navy reportedly withdrew its last remaining patrol ship from occupied Crimea. The news was announced by Ukrainian Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk, who signaled the historic nature of the Russian retreat with the words: “Remember this day.” The withdrawal of Russian warships from Crimea is the latest indication that against all odds, Ukraine is actually winning the war at sea. When Russia first began the blockade of Ukraine’s ports on the eve of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, few believed the ramshackle Ukrainian Navy could seriously challenge the dominance of the mighty Russian Black Sea Fleet. Once hostilities were underway, however, it soon became apparent that Ukraine had no intention of conceding control of the Black Sea to Putin without a fight. https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/ukrainealert/russias-retreat-from-crimea-makes-a-mockery-of-the-wests-escalation-fears/
  12. No I mean all the hostages, over 100 hundred of them. The reason there is still a war on.
  13. How about releasing the innocent hostages being held by the terrorists? How many Thai hostages still bringing held?
  14. The same tired rhetoric you've been posting for over 2 years with predictions then that the topic would not last longer than a couple of weeks, will you be here in 10 years time posting the same? Feel free to quote me on that. In the meantime it obvious you didn't read the article as its quoting Russian officials and media.
  15. Actually I watched that a couple of hours ago, they interviewed a few of the drivers including of course Lewis and they all agreed Ralf did the right thing to announce it and show that the whole FI supports him and any others there may be.
  16. Oh my my my, how impending defeat The same tired rhetoric you've been posting for over 2 years with predictions then that the topic would not last longer than a couple of weeks, will you be here in 10 years time posting the same? Putin Preparing Russians for 10 Years of Ukraine War: ISW The ISW said Medvedev's suggestion that Russia will be able to "destroy Ukraine" by 2034 is "a promise to the Russian public that Russia will be able to win the war and achieve its objective to destroy Ukrainian statehood within a decade." This narrative "sets careful information conditions and societal expectations for a war that will last another decade, but one that will end with Russia's desired 'victory,'" the think tank said. It also undermines recent attempts by Kremlin officials to convey that Russia is open to holding peace talks with Ukraine to bring an end to the war, and "emphasizes that the Kremlin's only desired end-state for the war is the complete destruction of the Ukrainian state and people." https://www.newsweek.com/putin-medvedev-ukraine-war-2034-isw-1926848
  17. Yet you care enough to fall over laughing and post about it...........
  18. One of the newly released images by families of the hostages. https://aseannow.com/topic/1333381-families-of-idf-female-hostages-release-new-distressing-photos-from-early-captivity/#comment-19077677
  19. CNN reporting from Gaza in the town where the hostages were rescued, interesting article. "Neighbors told CNN it was no secret that the family had links to Hamas. “We were worried about the Aljamal house. They are with Hamas,” said a neighbor and family acquaintance." “Had we known, had he told us, we would have taken safety precautions, hide or move to somewhere else,” one neighbor, Abu Muhammad El Tahrawi, said. In fact the day before the raid, Aljamal had published an article in the US based Palestine Chronicle where he was a regular contributor apart from his Hamas duties including keeping hostages and we know he also published in Al Jazeera once. ‘He was a pious man’: The Gaza neighborhood shocked to find Israeli hostages in their midst Neighbors told CNN it was no secret that the family had links to Hamas. “We were worried about the Aljamal house. They are with Hamas,” said a neighbor and family acquaintance. Abdallah had served as a spokesman for Gaza’s Ministry of Labor as recently as 2022, a position entrusted only to Hamas members, according to political analysts. He also showed his support for the group on social media. On Facebook, he posted pictures of his young son dressed in the fatigues of Hamas’ armed wing, the Qassam Brigades, and on October 7 openly praised the group’s attack on Israel. In a 2022 video post, Abdallah commended the Hamas operation to kidnap Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was held in Gaza between 2006 and 2011, and proclaimed: “Brothers, all of us are prepared to die for the resistance.” https://edition.cnn.com/2024/07/19/middleeast/gaza-neighborhood-israeli-hostages-intl-cmd/index.html
  20. As Nikki Haley said at the RNC convention a couple of days ago. She lauded Trump's foreign policy while serving as U.S. ambassador to the UN, paying particular attention to the Middle East "Every problem in that part of the world can be laid at Iran. The dictators who chant 'death to America' are the weapons suppliers to Hamas and Hezbollah," she said. "They're behind the barbaric massacres and the hostage taking." "Between Israel and Hamas, Donald Trump is clear who is our friend and who is our enemy," said Haley. https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/2024-07-17/ty-article/.premium/citing-israel-and-iran-nikki-haley-urges-republicans-to-unite-behind-trump/00000190-be6b-d2f8-abdb-be6fba2b0000 https://archive.ph/yjl4I
  21. ooops "One of Russia's biggest mobile howitzer and artillery system manufacturers went up in flames early on Thursday morning." What a shame, guess Putin will need to tap up North Korea for some more ammo to keep his war mongering needs satisfied. As we know they are already reportedly going to use some of the NK soldiers. N. Korean Soldiers Depart for Russia Amid Ukraine War: Report North Korean soldiers have reportedly departed for Russia following reports that the Asian nation will deploy troops in Ukraine to aid Moscow’s forces. An elite military training delegation led by the head of a prestigious military academy in Pyongyang left earlier this week for a “visit” to Russia, according to a report by Reuters. The purpose of the visit has not been disclosed. https://www.thedefensepost.com/2024/07/10/north-korean-soldiers-russia/
