◾Gaza's oldest and one of the most historic churches in Palestine, the Church of Saint Porphyrius in the old city, was not spared from Israeli occupation attacks.

An Israeli artillery shell landed on the church but fortunately did not detonate, averting a massacre of hundreds of displaced Palestinians who were taking shelter inside.

‼️🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳 The US is not prepared for a long-term conflict with China or Russia, much less both at the same time

▪️In the event of a war with China, the Pentagon could run out of ammunition in “3 to 4 weeks.” Overall, the US lacks the weapons to "detain and repel an initial invasion" by powers such as China.
▪️Stocks of anti-ship missiles may run out in a few days. The shortage persists despite increased production of weapons for supplies to Ukraine.
➖ “The industrial potential of the US is insufficient to meet the needs of a modern conflict, let alone a war with major powers,"
▪️The weak positions of NATO allies are also pointed out. “During the fighting in the Donbass, Russia used more ammo in two days than the entire British Army had in stock.”
▪️The report calls for strengthening the military industry and increasing munitions.
➖ “An urgent, bipartisan call to action is needed to ensure the US can make significant investments now, rather than waiting until the next Pearl Harbor or 9/11,”

Ukraine’s campaign to replenish its war-weary troops is ramping up and should help fill personnel gaps on the front line in the coming weeks, according to Ukrainian officials, soldiers and military analysts.

Many conscripts are still completing the weeks Nazar Voytenkov, press officer for the 33rd Mechanized Brigade, said on Friday that his unit had “received more newbies this month” than they had at the beginning of the year.

“And today I was told that more are coming to us,” he added.long training process and have yet to reach the front. And some recruits who have arrived are not physically fit for combat, members of Ukrainian units have noted.

Three military experts with knowledge of the figures said that Kiev had been drafting up to 30,000 people a month since May, when a new conscription law took effect. That is two to three times more than during the last winter months, they said, and about the same number that the Russian Army is recruiting [volunteers] each month.

A medic fighting near the eastern Ukrainian town of Toretsk, one of the hottest points on the front line, said that her brigade had received 2,000 conscripts and prisoners in the past two months. [Brigade is usually 3,000 to 5,000]

THE PRIMITIVE TOOLS OF MODERN WARFARE: SANCTIONS, ASSASSINATION, AND TORTURE

✍️ Written by Hikaru Kitabayashi ✍️

Sanctions, assassination, and torture have recently often been in the news. Real war with missiles, tanks, and waves of men marching is an extremely expensive proposition, thus the attractiveness of other techniques. They are primitive, though, and have long histories of failure.

Economic sanctions, for instance, were once employed by Napoleon against Great Britain. He assumed that, by stopping British trade with the European continent that he would be able to break the British economy. But, sanctions impacted the European continent more than it did Great Britain and the British came out of the Napoleonic wars with a stronger economy than they went in with.

Assassination is, perhaps, the oldest form of indirect warfare, and is strongly favored by Israel. When the enemy consists of individual human beings in control of new political structures that have no ideological basis as a foundation, taking out a key person has been known to work wonders. However, in the real world, political networks always have ideological structures and, while people can be assassinated, ideas cannot. In ideologically based political systems, new leaders must prove themselves by exacting vengeance, thus often making the result worse than what it would have been had the assassinated individuals been allowed to live.

A prime example of this can be seen in Gaza, where a mass assassination policy of all Hamas affiliated individuals has resulted in more solidarity of the people with the Hamas government and not less. The result is a war, which classical theories of war would suggest should have been won by the Zionist political entity at least eight months ago, that's still being waged.

Torture is coequal with the existence of the human race. It has been used by every political structure, whether religious or non-religious, for which connected histories exist. Criticism of the utility of torture has also long existed. This is because, if the purpose of torture is to ascertain truth, then it can almost always be expected to fail. Tortured individuals will often say anything, no matter how outrageous the lie, in order to end the torture. Even if the forced admission of knowledge were to result in death, this would often be seen as a happier than allowing the torture, itself, to continue. After all, it is impossible to torture a dead person.

For these reasons, Catherine the Great banned torture in the 18th century in Russia, claiming it was a waste of resources that never produced knowledge that was reliable enough to use in formulating state policy. Prison commanders were said to have been greatly disappointed in the Empress. She misunderstood the real purpose of torture which was for prison guards a type of sport. Why could the good empress not understand sportsmanship? Needless to say, with Catherine's eventual death, torture as a sport eventually returned to Russia.

America, though, never suffered the misfortune of torture being fully banned. And, Israel, which is not known for using the results of torture to formulate state policy with, has always focused on the essentials. It developed the sport of torture into an artform, outclassing what has been done anywhere else in the world. It goes beyond anything even the Japanese imperial military medical research unit did to Chinese during World War II and Japanese doctors were the best torture experts the world had hitherto seen. They were so good that the American occupation government never put a single one of these individuals on trial and out of gratitude for their post-war services to Japanese-American friendship, they all had prosperous careers that ended in honor as a reward for innovation in the study of human pain.

Podolyak called for the destruction of the Crimean Bridge and an attack on Russia's border territories.

According to him, Kiev "has the will, the means and the need to destroy the supply infrastructure" of the Russian Armed Forces.

"We need to destroy the infrastructure in the border zone. Rostov Oblast, Belgorod Oblast, Kursk Oblast. All of this needs to be taken out," he says.
