I am wondering whether Putin doesn't have a PR problem, he was clearly warned for the attack in Moscow, so if he doesn't blame anyone else, he clearly has made a mistake? #moscow #russia

Awful picture quality, legendary performance by Prince and Sheila E. , they clearly had a lot of fun 😃 , only in the 80s they could go on for 10 minutes in one song. #Prince #SheilaE #LoveBizarre #80s

If Gaza further decends into a state of anarchy it's not #Hamas that will suffer the most, they probably have their own supplies and facilities. 40% of the 2 million population consists of children, I can't stop thinking about many of them dying and for the living about their physical, emotional and psychological damage. They can't get out, nowhere to run or hide. #children #gaza #hamas #israel #geopolitics @npub17dnl...a7ch

It's amazing how a majority of the Congress in the USA doesn't want to act on the thing that is killing it's voters in higher numbers then anything else, terrorism becomes a minor issue when your civilians kill large groups of innocent people every few weeks. No other western country has this problem in this magnitude. #guns #guncontrol #usa Lewiston, Maine: At least 16 feared dead in shooting with suspect not caught - BBC News

Lewiston Maine shooting: 'Armed and dangerous' suspect still at large as 18 killed in shooting

The shootings in Lewiston, a small city in the north-east US, happened in a restaurant and bowling alley.

Israel communicates that it will completely destroy #Hamas , I fully understand and support that ambition. History learns however that complete destruction of groups like Hamas is extremely hard, also new groups can form after destruction of Hamas. Key is solving the reasons that terrorist groups like Hamas can exist and flourish. Their military destruction is only a temporary solution. #geopolitics @npub17dnl...a7ch #hamas #gaza

It's good to repeat what all experts say, without getting into politics, destroying #Gaza and #Hamas infrastructure, fighters etc will not solve the real problem. Politicians in Israël need to start talking more about the endgame. There is not even the beginning of an idea about the structural solution it seems🤔 If that doesn't change this will be like groundhog day every few years... #geopolitics @npub17dnl...a7ch #israel #gaza #hamas

Now there is doubt by some about the dominant theory that the hospital was hit by a (malfunctioning) Hamas rocket, difficult to judge all theories as a newsreader... #Gaza #geopolitics @npub17dnl...a7ch #israel

Wow.. "The destroyer USS Carney destroyed 15 drones and four land-to-air cruise missiles in the northern Red Sea on Thursday that were fired from Yemen and may have been targeting Israel, a U.S. defense official told Stars and Stripes on Friday" , that's a large number.
