However, the trip has been postponed indefinitely after the Pentagon said it tracked a Chinese reconnaissance balloon over the US mainland earlier in the week.

The death toll in Syria and Turkey as a result of the earthquake exceeded 170 people. Hundreds were injured and injured of varying severity. Since the removal of the rubble is still ongoing, the number will obviously increase significantly.

Zin Note: I haven't posted any of the imagery coming out if the disaster zone. Our hearts go out to the victims of this tragic earthquake.

Bastrykin suggests Central Asian and Transcaucasian citizens be sent to military service!

Over the past five years, more than one million people from Central Asia and Transcaucasia have been granted Russian citizenship, yet they bypass military service. This injustice should be eliminated. They should be involved in special operations, said Alexander Bastrykin, head of the Russian Security Service.

"It is advisable to consider the issue of prioritizing the naturalized citizens to take part in the tasks of a special operation," said the head of the Russian Investigative Committee.

These are citizens from Central Asia and Transcaucasia, in particular from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan. Bastrykin said that during the first six months of 2022 more than 60 thousand Russian passports were issued to former residents of these countries. In 5 years their number exceeded one million.
