Russian Disinformation Campaign Targets Kamala Harris with False Accusations
wow. As per the above article https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/russians-made-viral-video-falsely-accusing-harris-of-a-hit-and-run-microsoft/ar-AA1qMsM5 (The Hill) – Microsoft said Russians made a viral video falsely accusing Vice President Harris of a hit-and-run. Per a Tuesday report from the Microsoft Threat Analysis Center (MTAC), Russians recently “produced and disseminated two inauthentic videos designed to discredit Harris and stoke controversy around her campaign.” One of the videos “used an on-screen actor to fabricate false claims that Harris paralyzed a girl in a 2011 hit-and-run accident,” according to the report. MTAC said in the report that the videos were from a “prolific Russian actor” named Storm-1516. Isn't time someone held the Russians and their enablers responsible? -

Fruit Vendor Killed as Speeding Truck Has Blowout & Crashes, Injuring Three Others Injured
Picture from responders. A fruit vendor was killed and three others, including a two-year-old child, were injured in Patum Thani, when a speeding pickup truck suffered a tyre blowout and lost control, leading to a fatal collision. At approximately 10:00 on September 18, Pol. Lt. Col. Watcharapong Thianpratham, investigator at Sam Khok Police Station, was notified of a collision involving two pickup trucks on Ban Khlong Sa Road, Moo 2, Khlong Khwai Subdistrict, Sam Khok District, Patum Thani Province. Emergency services, along with a volunteer medical team from the Poh Teck Tung Foundation, rushed to the scene. The crash site, located near a rice field, revealed a bronze Toyota pickup truck used as a mobile fruit vendor, registered in Ayutthaya. Inside the vehicle, authorities discovered the body of Ms. Suntaree (surname withheld), aged 52. The other vehicle, a bronze Isuzu pickup truck with a canvas cover, registered in Khon Kaen, was found with three injured occupants: Mr. Phairoj (surname withheld), aged 21, Ms. Kanyarat (surname withheld), aged 20, and a two-year-old girl, Chattranapa. All were transported to Krung Siam St. Carlos Hospital for treatment. Pol. Lt. Col. Watcharapong explained that the fruit vendor had been driving alone on the Wat Pa Puritat Road, heading towards Lat Lum Kaeo, when the oncoming Isuzu truck, traveling in the opposite lane, experienced a blowout in its left rear tyre. The Isuzu driver lost control, swerving into the opposite lane and colliding with the fruit vendor’s truck, causing it to plunge into a nearby rice field, resulting in the fatality and injuries. The police have documented the scene as evidence and plan to summon the driver of the Isuzu truck and any witnesses for further questioning as part of the investigation into the cause of the collision. -- 2024-09-19 -

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Sufficiently competent to know that Mr. Nice kept to his political views and did not acknowledge the facts of the event. He made multiple assumptions and based his views on those assumptions. None of what Mr. Nice says is technically incorrect. They were trueisms, but they did not apply to this event. If he refuses to ignore that the Hezbollah injured were male and fighters, then he is not being fair. He worded his statements to speak in generalities. I can see now why the Privy Council reprimanded him and a case he had presided over had been bluntly reversed on appeal. He demonstrated the same disdain for the facts then as he does in his comments here. Understandable why he was "retired". I have the impression that the poor man still harbours a desire to be in politics and relevant. He should have taken the hint from his successive defeats as a socialist candidate in two elections.- 1

So you claimed that it was unlawful but you have no idea what the law is ? -

I have no friends in Russia but in future in the interest of civility I will ignore commenting on your posts as I have no desire in baiting or name calling anyone on here whatever their views. Good night. -

He is indeed an educated man. Thankfully he was put out to pasture many years ago. I am surprised that you are relying on a man who has leftist political views. Perhaps it is convenient for your exercise, but he certainly doesn't get along too well with Mr. Orban of Hungary and Mr. Orban is sympathetic to Russia. That is why I suggest you may wish to consult with friends in Russia.- 1

Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Yes, and that is his opinion based upon his general views. He is not aware of the actual events and is assuming that there were mass civilian casualties when there were not. One of the primary tenets of International Humanitarian Law is the rule of distinction. There is a distinction between civilians and civilian objects , and combatants and military objectives, so as to protect persons not taking part in the conflict. Civilians must not be be deliberately and indiscriminately targeted, and to do so is a war crime. Ok. What Nice did not acknowledge or seem to understand is that the pagers were intentionally supplied to Hezbollah military managers/fighters/leaders. Associated with this is a ban on indiscriminate methods of warfare, such as blanket bombing as seen in Syria when the Russian airforce leveled some Syrian cities. It bans the type of rocket and missile salvos that Hezbollah launches against Israel on a daily basis. The pager event was a directed targeted operation, specifically targeting Hezbollah fighters. there was no mass attack on the general population. Equally important is the principle of proportionality. Proportionality requires that when estimating the civilian deaths or injuries from an attack on a legitimate military target, the harm caused cannot be excessive (disproportionate) to the concrete and direct anticipated military advantage to be obtained by the attack. In other words, if the harm to the civilians or civilian objects is deemed too great or excessive to the direct military advantage anticipated, the attack should not occur. The pager event was targeted and minimized civilian casualties. Despite claims of 2 civilian casualties, no evidence has been provided by Hezbollah. Just as soon as they can find someone that can pass for a pager casualty, they will provide photos. Hezbollah is probably looking for a child that was mangled in a car accident of house fire that it can pass off as a casualty. Perhaps it is time to check back with Mother Russia for new instructions.- 1

What does he say about the indiscriminate Bombs that Hezbollah have been sending to Israel this past year plus , bombs that forced Israelis to leave their land ? Indiscriminate bombing . The Israel phone bombs targeted terrorists , members of a terror group . What are the actual laws that state that you cannot kill an enemy combatant if he isn't combatant at the actual time ? Can you only attack the enemy during working hours or something ? -
