๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ How Desperate Has Washington Become in Arming Ukraine?

In July, the US asked NATO-member Turkiye to transfer Russian-made S-400 air defense systems to Ukraine.

Ankara declined.

This may explain in part why Ukrainian General Valery Zaluzhny has recently resorted to dreaming about sci-fi fantasy weapons.

๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Death of civilians in Gaza cannot be justified by Israel's right to self-defense, Egyptian FM says

"There can be no justification for the deaths of civilians in Gaza ... We will not accept attempts to justify these actions as a legitimate right to self-defense," Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said during a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Al Safadi.

Al Safadi, in turn, noted that other Arab countries also refuse to consider Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip as self-defense.

The same States responsible for every large scale conflict since WW2, are the same States telling you Russia and China are your enemy

Those same States now ignore, deny and tacitly endorse the greatest massacre of innocents in living history

Russia and China condemn it. @irishmaninrussia

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑโš”๐ŸŒEilat's Shattered Calm: The Haunting Echoes of War Amid Horrors in Gaza ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ

As he spectre of war casts long shadows over the Middle East, the Israeli city of Eilat finds itself in the crosshairs of escalating hostilities. The piercing cry of air raid sirens has become a grim melody to the ears of the city's residents, who find themselves caught between the hammer of Houthi rebels' onslaught from Yemen across the Red Sea and the anvil of relentless bombardments in Gaza. The skies above Eilat roared with the tumult of fighter jets, a stark departure from the serenity this port city on the Red Sea was once synonymous withโ€‹โ€‹.

Eilat, a haven for tourists and a home to many who fled war in Ukraine, now trembles under the predictable escalation of regional geopolitics. The city's populace, a blend of locals and immigrants, shares the anxiety that clouds Israel's southern skyline. Houthi missiles soar across the skies, aimed at Israeli soil, though much is intercepted by Israel's AD. Yet, the threat looms large and unyielding, an ever-present reminder of the delicate thread by which stability hangsโ€‹โ€‹.

The story unfolding in Eilat is but a microcosm of the larger reality that engulfs the region. As Gaza bleeds under merciless bombardment, the echoes of fear reverberate through the hearts of those in Eilat, who too, seek a sky free of the harbingers of death. The juxtaposition is stark - as missiles rain down on Gaza, so too does fear cascade through the streets of Eilat.

The relentless cycle of violence, with each rotation, engraves deeper scars into the hearts of the innocent. The land in Gaza, soaked in the blood of the oppressed, yearns for the dawn of a just peace that seems but a fleeting dream in the nightmarish reality of the Middle East. The turbulence engulfing Gaza and the tremors felt in Eilat are but fragments of a broader narrative of despair, yet the ember of hope for a just peace flickers faintly amidst the raging storm, a silent plea to the conscience of humanity.

โ—๏ธโ—๏ธโ—๏ธ Premiere of a documentary about British war correspondent Michael Jones!

He was told that in Russia everyone walks around with machine guns, and bears walk along the streets of St. Petersburg. He came for a short time, but decided to stay and live in our country.

He saw what we decided to tell you about. Where were the Ukrainian Armed Forces tanks firing? How are Ukrainian children raised? Who trained Kyiv soldiers to fight? What miracles are happening on the front lines? And why are the people of Donbass not afraid of anything!

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ชโœŠ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ"End The Slaughter in Gaza... End US Complicity Now" Saturday's Protest in Belfast

More captivating scenes emerged from Saturday's protest in Belfast, where a fervent call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza resonated through the streets. The air was thick with chants of "End the slaughter in Gaza," and "End US complicity now," as protestors navigated their way to the US consulate, spotlighting the stark US involvement in this unyielding conflict.

A poignant sight unfolded as attendees tenderly placed little teddy bears on the ground, each symbolizing the lost innocence of the 4,880 children whose lives were snuffed out by the IDF's relentless bombardment.

This outpour of solidarity wasn't confined to Belfast alone; the globe witnessed a tidal wave of protests, with hundreds of thousands marching in solidarity, their cries for an immediate ceasefire echoing the collective conscience of humanity. The stark reality underscores a piercing truth: whether it's the Russian-Ukraine war or the Israel-Palestine conflict, the strings of Israel and Ukraine seem tightly knotted to the cynical whims of the US, their actions seemingly tethered to the nods of approval from across the Atlantic.
