New report lays out Israeli military use of Microsoft services
rkane employees demand Microsoft sever ties with Israeli military: 'We don’t want to be part of this sinister project for Gaza' Members of the French videogame union STJV at Arkane Lyon, currently developing Marvel's Blade, have published an open letter calling on Microsoft to end its relationship with the Israeli military and conduct "a transparent, independent and public audit of Microsoft technologies, contracts, services and investments to make sure they are not used to violate the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols, and Microsoft’s own Human Rights Statement." Microsoft has faced rising criticism in recent months over its entanglements with the Israeli military and its ongoing assault on Gaza, which is now estimated to have caused nearly 62,000 deaths as of August 12, 2025, many of them children. The Arkane letter, addressed to studio leadership as well as "the heads of Zenimax, Microsoft Gaming and the overall Microsoft group," references both the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement's call for a boycott of Xbox products, and the No Azure for Apartheid petition that has been signed by more than 2,000 Microsoft employees.

Updates and events in the War in Ukraine 2025
Zelenskyy: Russian losses roughly triple those of Ukraine - pluggin that into Chat it reveals that the losses are far greater on the Ukrainian side than previously admitted and in comparative terms weighted for population then the Ukrainians have lost twice as many men as Russia has. I sincerely hope that Zelensjyy takes the best offer that come from the 'peace' talks but I worry even if he did the ultra-nationalists won't let him. He will be a dead man walking. https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/08/12/7525895/ Here’s an updated estimate of total manpower losses for both Russia and Ukraine over the duration of the war, based on available data. Russia: Estimated Total Casualties (Killed, Wounded, Missing, Captured) Ukraine's Armed Forces estimate Russia has suffered 1,001,560 total losses (combined killed, wounded, missing, captured) as of 13 June 2025 (Wikipedia). British and U.S. sources (via The Guardian) note that by mid-2025, Russian military casualties had surpassed one million, with around 250,000 dead, and the rest wounded (The Guardian). CSIS analysis similarly indicates over 950,000 total casualties, including up to 250,000 fatalities (CSIS). The Week reports as of August 2025, Russian casualties may exceed 1 million, with up to 250,000 dead (The Week). Takeaway: Most credible estimates cluster around 1 million total Russian casualties, approximately 250,000 of which are fatalities. Ukraine: Estimated Total Manpower Losses According to Wikipedia (drawing on The Wall Street Journal and The Economist): Ukraine has suffered 80,000 killed and 400,000 wounded, as of early-2025 (Wikipedia). Timeline data from Wikipedia cites Ukraine's commander-in-chief saying: Since the war began, 45,100 Ukrainian soldiers killed and 390,000 wounded (as of February 2025) (Wikipedia). Supportively, The Economist and other outlets estimate 60,000–100,000 Ukrainian fatalities as of mid-2025 (New York Post, The Week, Wikipedia). Takeaway: Ukraine’s total manpower losses likely range from ~450,000 to 500,000, combining both killed and wounded. Summary Table of Estimated Cumulative Losses Country Approx. Fatalities Approx. Wounded/Other Losses Total Losses (Estimate) Russia ~250,000 ~750,000 ~1,000,000 Ukraine ~60,000–100,000 ~390,000–400,000 ~450,000–500,000 Per-Capita Comparison Based on Population Using approximate war totals and population figures (Russia ~146 million, Ukraine ~39 million): Russia: Total casualties: ~1,000,000 → ~6,850 casualties per million people. Ukraine: Total casualties: ~500,000 → ~12,820 casualties per million people.

Ukraine: Total casualties: ~500,000 → ~12,820 casualties per million people. So, per capita, Ukraine’s losses are roughly nearly twice as high as Russia’s. -

The mainstream media are digging their graves
You seem to be missing out on Trump inciting insurrection, dudding contractors, disrespecting fallen soldiers, stealing from charities, forcibly fingering a woman, pilfering top secret documents, and convicted of cooking the books. Quite amazing how the worshippers omit these facts from their narrative. -

Report Frenchman Hurt in Violent Clash With Lover’s Family in Pattaya
Which is why many French nationals claimed Belgian or some other French speaking nationalities when enlisting. And you seem to explicitly say that for the last ten years French nationals have been permitted to enlist, plus you explicitly acknowledge that officers are mostly French nationals. All in all, your second post contradicts your original statement that only foreigners are permitted in the Foreign Legion and confirm my statement that French persons are permitted to join. So what exactly are you arguing about? -
