Ukraine’s weapons #industry presses #government to allow #arms exports

source: https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-arms-industry-export-weapons/

“Imagine what it would look like? #Ukraine #exports its #weapons during the war while asking partners for #military #aid. Ukrainians would not understand, partners would not understand,” said a senior Ukrainian foreign ministry

Ukraine is currently one of the best places to test modern #warfare #equipment against a confirmed #enemy under real conditions at low cost. Just imagine if the war were to end, an entire #business model would collapse. Surely nobody could want that to happen when the arms industry is doing so well.

The Russian foreign ministry eulogized Kirillov for "systematically exposing the crimes of Anglo-Saxons"
I have a question #Russia:
Are you sure it wasn't the Visigoths?
The Illyrians?
Maybe the Jutes did the scooter bomb
Or the Byzantine Empire?

In a 2014 lecture at Harvard Kennedy School on US foreign policy, then Vice President Joe Biden explained how US allies including #SaudiArabia, #UAE, #Qatar, and #Turkey - financed and armed terrorist groups Al-Qaeda, Al-Nusra, and others to fight against the Assad government in Syria. Biden stated, "They were so determined to take down #Assad, and essentially have a proxy Sunni-Shia war, they poured hundreds of millions of dollars and thousands of tons of #weapons into anyone who fight against Assad." Biden adds, "The people who were being supplied were Al-Nusra, Al-Qaeda, and extremist elements of #Jihadists coming from other parts of the world."

... , der amerikanische Außenminister #Blinken, der die ukrainische Regierung unter Druck setzt, endlich genügend Männer an die Front zu bringen bzw. zu zwingen, um den Krieg gegen #Russland fortzusetzen. Die Devise ist nach der bekannten menschenverachtenden Arbeitsteilung: Der Westen liefert das #Geld und die #Waffen, die Ukraine die #Menschen.

#Ukraine: “We have a million men hiding somewhere”

Israel is using internationally banned weapons, and there are testimonies that some bodies have been vaporised, Director General of the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, Dr Munir Al-Bursh, said yesterday.

“There are types of burns that we have never seen before,” he added.

Al-Bursh called for an international investigation into the mysterious weapons used by Israel in its war against the Gaza Strip, especially in the north of the enclave.

Dr Hussam Abu Safia, the director of the besieged Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya and accused Israeli forces of using a new type of weapon against people at the facility.

“Specifically a quadcopter that drops bombs containing tiny fragments that are nearly invisible to the naked eye. These projectiles penetrate the bodies of our workers, causing severe bleeding and damage to internal organs,” he said.

The #Kremlin has revised its #nuclear #policy. Does that make the use of atomic #weapons more likely?

Source: https://apnews.com/article/russia-nuclear-doctrine-putin-ukraine-war-b5ee115aa2099fa247f630e16da861d8

It adds that nuclear weapons could be used in these scenarios: If reliable information is received about the takeoff or launch of strategic and tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, hypersonic or other flying vehicles and their crossing the Russian border.

So a #military drone across the border is enough? Nearly the same bullshit is standing in the US version. This means they can use nuclear weapons in every war at any time.

#WhiteHouse Says Democrats Who Oppose Weapons To #Israel Are Aiding #Hamas

HuffPost obtained a White House message to senators ahead of a crucial vote on sending the Israelis more arms amid the #Gaza and Lebanon wars. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is helping the administration shield the policy.

The #Biden administration is aggressively pushing senators to bless continued U.S. #weapons shipments for Israel ahead of a first-of-its-kind vote in Congress on the policy, HuffPost has learned ― and administration officials are suggesting lawmakers who vote against the arms are empowering American and Israeli foes from #Iran to the militant groups Hamas and #Hezbollah, which the U.S. treats as terror organizations.

Pentagon Hypersonic Fail

However, the very fact that the US is seriously considering the recycling of the ARRW program that was already canceled twice due to excessive costs, unreliability, repeated test failures, lack of progress in improving the design, etc. is very telling. As all other programs failed, the US is now desperate to at least match previously mentioned regional powers such as North Korea and Iran. What's more, the latter very likely also gave its hypersonic missiles to allies in the Middle East (specifically in Yemen), making America's embarrassment all the worse.

"A new #film by #AbbyMartin exposing the world's biggest polluter: the US military.
#Earth's Greatest Enemy is a new #documentary film investigating the Pentagon's catastrophic toll on the planet–from carbon emissions, to toxic dumping, to habitat destruction and more, while highlighting the struggles against it. This will be the first ever piece of media that puts every facet of the Pentagon's pollution together into one indictment. But funds are needed to complete post-production. "

And here's a chart showing the #chemical #weapons dumped at sea. Just look at how many surround the UK:

After several countries refused to accept it, the Catherine, loaded with explosives for the genodide regime of Israel, docked at the port of Alexandria in #Egypt.

The disgusting complicity of Egyptian dictator and their direct support of the ongoing genocide in Gaza is just hard to understand.

What the hell is wrong with these people?
