According to Paul Warburg, the new shift in warfare to drones will redefine what it is to be militarily dominant in the world & #geopolitics for the next century.
With the shift from heavy & expensive equipment to cheap disposable units with data & software, the relative power of the big industrial countries stands to diminish.
I think this is another reason USA doesn’t want #Ukraine to win. With their drones, Ukraine stands to become a major player in global #armstrade, rivalling USA 🤔

We usually think of narcissism as a personal flaw — a grandiose ego, a craving for attention, a lack of empathy.Dr. Gary E Myers (The Kyiv Independent)

Socialists consider abstention in von der Leyen no-confidence vote
The socialists have had enough: they do not want to bring down the EU executive for at least two reasons. One is the need to have a fully operational EU at a time of great uncertainty and instability. The other is not wanting to vote with the right.

Geneva Convention
Article 49 - Deportations, transfers, evacuations
ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-…
The ONLY way we are going to fight this now is to back our arguments up with links to legal texts etc, That way should any authority try and silence us, we simply quote legally binding international conventions.
It will also help any defence lawyers with our cases.
If people can't get on the streets to protest, we can fight in the Hague, there are enough of us, more than enough evidence and multiple bodies arguing what is going on is Genocide.
We can no longer use the Self defense argument, too many people have died.
If you mugged me in the street, I would not be permitted to come round your house, massacre you WHOLE family, blow your house up and argue this is self defence, even an argument of proportionate would NOT work in a court of law.
I think under Islamic shiria law , ther IS eye for an eye, from my understanding and reading about application the punishment fits the crime, e.g you break someones leg, the court orders your leg to be broken. (hence the name)
I am NOT lawyer.

INNER MONSTERS
Inner Monsters don't necessarily look like "real" monsters. They are part of that constant chatter going on in the background of our own minds, shaping our view of the world. They can appear in a variety of forms, from human, animal, monster-like, even as plants! Most of us... ahem... keep our inner beasties tucked "safely" in the closet, hoping they won't decide to reveal themselves at inopportune times, causing all manner of embarrassing moments, like sudden extreme shyness, unexplained crying jags, overwhelming crankiness, or laughing out loud for no apparent reason, among others. Sound familiar?
The solution is (drum roll please...) to MEET your inner monsters, SEEK to understand them, EMBRACE them as yours, and then LEARN about yourself through them. Bring them out of your personal inner-verse and set them free!

Ma ha fatto proprio due gocce di numero.
Oggi, le piante hanno ringraziato così:
L'immagine mostra un gruppo di zucchine verdi fresche disposte su un asciugamano rosa. Ci sono dieci zucchine in totale, disposte in due file. Le zucchine hanno una superficie liscia e lucida, con una colorazione verde scuro e alcune venature più chiare. Sono posizionate su un asciugamano rosa che copre una superficie di marmo con un motivo mottato. In alto a destra, c'è un bicchiere di vetro rovesciato. L'immagine suggerisce che le zucchine siano state recentemente lavate e stanno asciugando.
