cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44151259
ArchivedRussian pro-war sources have published a video of a drone strike on a UN convoy in Ukraine. The footage surfaced on the morning of Oct. 15 via the Telegram channel “From Mariupol to the Carpathians,” which is associated with Russian UAV operators in the Kherson sector. The Ukrainian side had reported a truck attack on Oct. 14, and the UN stated that the incident could be considered a war crime.
[...]
The truck targeted by the drone bears the inscription WFP — the abbreviation for the World Food Programme. On top of the trucks, the UN abbreviation is also visible, marking them as United Nations vehicles.
[...]
The strike on the convoy was reported on Oct. 14 by Oleksandr Prokudin, the head of Ukraine’s Kherson Regional Military Administration. One of the four trucks burned out completely, and another sustained serious damage. There were no reported casualties.
The UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Ukraine, Matthias Schmale, called the deliberate attack on humanitarian workers and facilities a severe violation of international humanitarian law. He emphasized that it could be considered a war crime.

[Foreignpolicy] Russia’s Next Opposition Will Not Be Liberal
Putin's War Is Breeding Russia's Next Opposition, But It Will Not Be Liberal
Army corruption and mass death are breeding new dissent—deep inside Vladimir Putin’s loyal core.Alexey Kovalev (Foreign Policy)
Something to think about for people in the West who hope for a magical "Deus Ex Machina" type change in russian society.
Lets not forget that Gorbachev, widely perceived in the west as some sort of liberal reformer did not want to end russian occupation of independent countires that were part of the USSR and he supported the annexation of Crimea. Not to mention that the impetus for the end of USSR/Warsaw pact came from countries such as Poland, the Baltic nations and Ukraine, not from russia.
And what of current russians liberals? Reading Vladimir Kara-Murza's latest article in Washington Post would make you think that the issue is putin and not russian society:
Putin’s anxiety is understandable. The Kremlin knows that public opposition to the Ukraine war is much greater than what its propaganda would admit.
And yet Kara-Murza, the darling of the west, also said the following (in an address for the French senate no less):
There is another reason why the Russian Defense Ministry recruits so many members of ethnic minorities [to fight in the war against Ukraine]: as it turns out, because it is psychologically really difficult for [ethnic] Russians to kill Ukrainians. Because we are one people. We are very close peoples, as everybody knows. We have nearly the same language, the same religion, and centuries of history in common. But if it’s someone from another culture, allegedly it’s easier [for them to kill Ukrainians]. I hadn’t really thought about it before. I thought the reasons were primarily economic. But after what [a colleague who spoke about the Buryats] said, I started thinking about it too.
And this is a Western educated russian "liberal". Can you imagine what goes through the head of the vast majority of russians?

Hi everyone, I spent the last 3 hours troubleshooting why my monitor kept blacking out only to discover I'd plugged the HDMI cable into the motherboard instead of the GPU
I discovered this when I finally got desperate enough to try reseating the GPU, went to unplug the HDMI cable from it, and realized that the HDMI cable was in fact not plugged into the GPU
Anyway, I'm loving my new prebuilt PC

J&J really pride themselves on being a family friendly company, which makes it extra damaging that they knowingly gave mothers and babies cancer for 50+ years.
As far back as the 50s their scientists showed that asbestos was present in their talc. Back when the story broken I read that some of their internal research even associated talc itself with cancer. In the 70s they lied to regulators, saying they hadn't found any asbestos recently, they had of course. Even after most other companies stopped using actual talc in baby powder, J&J refused to change and insisted it was safe.

The third Reich was not in the name of God. The Church had to subjugate under the Nazis. Same with Stalin and the communists. They hated religion and I am pretty sure they committed quite a few atrocities in the USSR, Mao in China, Pol Pot in Cambodia ...
God is a convenient reason for atrocities but far from the only/most prevalent one.
Middle East and the spread of Islam.
Zimbabwe and Ghurukundi (I made a typo here somewhere).
Shaka and Mfecane.
Rwanda and Tutsi.
