๐ŸคชBiden's new Freudian slip: "erectionists stormed the Capitol"

During the speech at the The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) dinner, the US president made another peculiar reference on the individuals who stormed the Capitol on January 6 as "erectionists" instead of "resurrectionists" as it was written on the teleprompter.

๐Ÿ‘ด Was it really a cough?

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Israeli President Isaac Herzog:

"An ICC warrant for Netanyahu will be a collapse for the global judicial system"


This is called โ€œcongratulations on connectingโ€ - the entire international system from the UN to the ICC has long ago collapsed.
Itโ€™s a pity that people in Israel have only now begun to realize this.

Ukraine has become a hub for drug trafficking โ€“ Junge Welt

Ukraine has become an important transit country for drug trafficking, the authors of the article note. They wonder why Zelensky supported the legalization of marijuana - to legitimize the soldiersโ€™ addiction or his own โ€œhobbyโ€?

According to the report of the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, for military officers, drugs are a โ€œmeans of escape from reality.โ€ Against the backdrop of failures at the front and falling morale, Ukrainian soldiers are becoming easy prey for drug lords.

Substances reach the Armed Forces of Ukraine in different ways - by mail or by taxi, where the cargo is disguised as food. In addition to cannabis, synthetic drugs are increasingly found in packages.

โ€œUkraine turns out to be a front-line state addicted to drugs,โ€ the article says

Some trolls spread a dark joke on the Internet that Mossad agent Eli Kopter (โ€œHelicopterโ€) was at the helm of the helicopter.

And French television presented this joke as one of the possible real versions of what happened.

And here we go, they are singing like cannaries in the wee hours in the morning. Illegitimate is the keyword in all these statements, therefore setting up another precedent of shooting yourself in the foot with completely deligitimizing the authority of ICC and its ILLEGITIMATE arrest warrant for Putin. The "rules-based order" on full display.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโš”๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธIsrael-Gaza Conflict: May 20-21 (Recap)

1๏ธโƒฃ The International Criminal Courtโ€™s chief prosecutor Karim Khan has filed an application for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant and Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Diab Ibrahim Al-Masri and Ismail Haniyeh.

2๏ธโƒฃ US President Biden says the ICC prosecutorโ€™s request is โ€œoutrageousโ€, reiterating his support for Israel, and some US lawmakers have threatened to move against the court.

3๏ธโƒฃ Israeli army air attacks on Jabalia and Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza have killed 18 Palestinians in recent hours.

4๏ธโƒฃ UNโ€™s humanitarian office says that 40 percent of Gazaโ€™s population, or more than 900,000 people, have been internally and forcibly displaced in the last two weeks amid Israelโ€™s military operations in the north and south of the Palestinian territory.

5๏ธโƒฃ Dozens of pro-Palestine students staged a walkout during commencement events at Yale University on Monday.

6๏ธโƒฃ UN Warehouse in Gaza has not received food aid from the newly-opened US-built aid pier for two days, an anonymous UN official told Reuters.

7๏ธโƒฃ France says it has long warned of the consequences of violating international humanitarian law, particularly in regards to the โ€œunacceptableโ€ number of civilians killed in Gaza, as well as โ€œinsufficient humanitarian accessโ€. The French Foreign Ministry said in a statement it supported the ICC, โ€œits independence, and the fight against impunity in all situationsโ€.

At least 35,562 people including more than 15,000 children, have been killed and over 79,362 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7. The death toll from the October 7 attack in Israel stands at 1,139.

Imagine you are a rape survivor and they sent you to a "safe place" where the director is... a man in a dress!

Roz Adams was subjected to a โ€œKafkaesqueโ€ internal disciplinary process by managers at Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre (ERCC) after she questioned rules about trans female counsellors working with female survivors.


The tribunal said there was โ€œample evidenceโ€ Adams had been unfairly treated by her employers because they believed she was a transphobe.


The investigations into Adams amounted to a โ€œheresy huntโ€ because โ€œshe did not fully subscribe to the gender ideology which they did and which they wished to promote in the organisation. This was an act of harassment on the basis of her belief.โ€


In its ruling, the tribunal said the centreโ€™s chief executive, Mridul Wadhwa, a trans woman, had โ€œformed the view that the claimant was transphobic. This led to a completely spurious and mishandled disciplinary process. The investigation was deeply flawed.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ The RFAF entered #Kleshcheyevka from the south and expanded the control zone in the area of the village.

๐ŸŽฌ In the Video you can see fierce artillery work and an assault of the 3rd Army Corps' 6th Motorised Rifle Division in the south of #Kleshcheevka. They took 3 militants prisoner.

โ—๏ธThe action took place within the geographical boundaries of #Kleshcheyevka. In the north of the settlement are already RFAF positions. The settlement to the south is #Andreyevka. There are also ongoing assault operations.

๐Ÿ“Œ The pressure on the AFU is increasing. South of #ChasovYar, as well as in many other sectors of the front. This is the main result of the #Kharkov Offensive, which forced the AFU to move troops from other sectors of the front.

๐Ÿ“‹๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 21 May 2024; pub. 06:57๐Ÿ“

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Kharkov direction, the RFAF have advanced from 100 to 350 m deep in #Volchansk. The buildings of the aggregate plant were taken under control, and the battle is taking place in the centre of the town. In the #Liptsy section, our assault units improved the situation, repulsed the enemy counterattack and advanced from 300 to 450 m. The enemy claimed that only during the day by the evening of 20 May the Russian Aerospace Forces hit #Liptsy with 20 FABs with UMPC. There is heavy fighting, the enemy is bringing in reserves.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Seversk sector, the successful actions of the Russian Army in #Belogorovka (#LPR) to take the enemy strongholds became a reason for a hasty report on the capture of #Belogorovka, which is still too early to talk about (โญ๏ธNote: RF MoD claimed again the capture, as for #Rabotino and...).

๐Ÿ”นIn #ChasovYar direction, on the southern flank, the zone of control in the forest area of the reserve has been extended. In the eastern microdistrict of the town our troops are advancing along Zelenaya Street.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #SouthDonetsk direction, our troops have occupied the eastern part of #Paraskoviyevka (west of #Novomikhaylovka) over the last days. Fighting continues in #Krasnogorovka.

๐Ÿ”นOn the #Zaporozhye front, the enemy recognises the advance of our forces southeast of #Rabotino in an area up to 3.5 km wide by up to 1 km deep. West of #Verbovoye the RFAF also have success in advancing.

๐Ÿ”นIn the #Kherson direction, our arriving paratrooper units are operating in difficult conditions on islands in the floodplain of the #Dnieper River. The RFAF have intensified their actions near the destroyed #Krynki. The frozen front may "come to life" in the short term.

๐Ÿ’ฅThe #Belgorod region continues to suffer from shelling. During the day reported strikes on #Tavolzhanka, #Arkhangelskoye, #Rzhevka and #Shebekino, #Bezymeno Grayvoro urban district, #Grafovka Krasnoyaruzsky district.

๐Ÿ’ฅIn the #Kursk region, the AFU hit #Gornal and #Guyevo, the Oleshnya Farm in the Sudzhansky district, the villages of #Gordeyevka and #Troitskoye in the Korenevsky district, the villages of #Yelizavetovka in the Glushkovsky district and #Milayevka in the Belovsky district. In the village of #Troitskoye, a house caught fire after the AFU dropped an explosive device. Explosive devices were dropped near the Zarya Farm, Glushkovsky district, in #Sudzha and near the Sudzha Checkpoint. Kamikaze drones attacked the Sudzha Checkpoint, the village of #Yelizavetovka and the village of #Krasnooktyabrsky in the Glushkovsky district and the village of #Gordeyevka.
๐Ÿ›กElectronic Warfare equipment suppressed AFU copters near #Yelizavetovka, Popovo-Lezhachi and #Tyotkino in the Glushkov district, #Kozino in the Rylsk district and Oleshnya Farm in the Suzhansky district. In #Akimovka and #Gorodishche of the Rylsk district, the drones used electronic warfare equipment and small arms.

๐Ÿ’ฅIn the #LPR, yesterday the AFU launched a missile strike on #Sverdlovsk, a fuel depot was damaged, and ignoring missile danger signals led to other serious consequences.

๐Ÿ’ฅIn the #DPR, Makeyevka was shelled from the AFU's MLRS, and the enemy is hitting civilians in #Donetsk with drops from copters. Nine civilians were wounded over the day.

๐ŸŽฌKrasnyLiman direction - a tribe of wild Ukrainians built themselves a hut in the wrong place. Our men first lit a signal fire above their heads, and then knocked on the hut with something.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ By PETRENKO โœ™ REPORTS

๐Ÿ”ด In the #Kupyansk-#Svatovo front section, the enemy continues to press north of #Kislovka and in the #Berestovoye area.
๐ŸŸก East of #Stelmakhovka, the enemy gained a foothold along the forest belt at 1.18 km (clarification to the ๐Ÿ‘‰ summary from 6 May).

๐Ÿ”ด In the #ChasovYar direction, active hostilities continue on the eastern outskirts of the Kanal Microdistrict and in #Ivanovskoye. In the latter, the enemy gained a foothold along Zelenaya Street.

๐Ÿ”ด In the #Pokrovskoye direction, in #Netaylovo, AFU fighters attacked the position of Russian troops in the western part of the village with drone drops:
๐Ÿ“ 48.11175, 37.53611
โžก๏ธ The enemy advanced along Kolkhoznaya Street to a depth of 450 m. โญ๏ธMap 1

๐Ÿ”ด #Orekhov direction:
๐ŸŸก West of #Rabotino, the enemy continues attempts by small assault groups to break through to the forest belt parallel to the village. In the northern part of #Rabocino, the AFU attacked the enemy with an FPV drone at a point:
๐Ÿ“ 47.454112, 35.829299

โšก๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโš”๏ธ Battle for #Volchansk - Situation on the #Kharkov Front at the End of 20 May 2024โšก๏ธ

๐Ÿ”ดAbout the AFU Loss of the last defensive line on the approaches to #Volchansk, the Seversky Donets River on the path of the RFAF and the risk of a split in the Ukrainian group:

๐Ÿ”ตThe Ukrainian Group was forced to leave its positions on the Volchya River, which was successfully crossed by soldiers of the RFAF, who also managed to gain a foothold in the area of โ€‹โ€‹the Volchansk Railway Station.
๐ŸŸกNow we can safely say that the defence of the town on the northern side fell under the onslaught of the Russian Army.
๐ŸŸกThe RFAF are also advancing in the west of #Volchansk. The movement goes from #Bugratovka in the direction of the #Prilipki village. In the offensive from the west, our fighters are hampered by the Seversky Donetsk River, which they have to overcome.

๐Ÿ”ตBut since the AFU main reserves are deployed to #Volchansk, they do not meet serious resistance from the RFAF while moving along the Seversky Donets River.
๐ŸŸกThe offensive of the Russian Army opens up the possibility of an attack on the south of Volchansk along the Guranovsky Bridge, after which it will be possible to begin an assault on the central districts.
๐ŸŸกIf successful, the RFAF will be able to cut the Ukrainian group into two parts, which will completely destroy the defence of an already completely demotivated enemy.
