[Great Order]

It's very DARVO isn't it?

[King Zultan]

In Russia, a citizen can die in a locked room...

I've also heard that Russian citizens can shoot themselves in the back of the head without a gun, such amazing tricks the Russians know.

In Germany, in the city of Einbeck in Lower Saxony, an unknown man attacked a child from Ukraine. The prosecutor’s office is investigating the case as attempted murder.

This is reported by Censor.NET with reference to DW.

According to available data, on August 26, a 10-year-old boy was near the bridge with several other Ukrainian children, when an unknown man accused the children of speaking Ukrainian. The man demanded that they speak Russian and allegedly declared that Ukraine had started a war.

Then the man allegedly pulled the girl by the hair, grabbed the 10-year-old boy, and threw him over the railing into the canal. The boy hit the iron beams attached to the bridge and suffered injuries to his head and left leg. When the boy was lying in the canal, an unknown man allegedly threw a glass bottle at him, which hit the child in the right shoulder. After that, the man left the scene.

The perpetrator appears to be between 40 and 45 years old, and the police are looking for him. 

This is the type of people we are waging war against.

I hope they catch the bastard before he hurts more people

Well... for what it's worth, as the article notes the guy isn't in russia and probably won't be going there any time soon, what with... everything. It's a conviction in absentia, after having labeled the guy a foreign agent. Rather imagine he ain't gon' go nowhere that extradites to russia any time soon.

[King Zultan]

What did he do to get labeled as a foreign agent?

Also reminds me I really need to finish reading 2035.

What did he do to get labeled as a foreign agent?

Posted reports of Russian war crimes on his social media.

It is now being reported that the boy gave false information and this did not happen as described.

Hm, my friend from Azerbaijan is quite confident that a new war between Armenia and Azerbaijan is about to start in the next few days. I do not see anything beyond the usual sabble-rattling but he said that Azerbaijani troop movements are rather unusual and indicate more than empty postures.

Does he say this whenever you speak with him?

I'm reasonably sure I heard that when the most recent invasion of Ukraine began February 24th, 2022.

From the news I've been seeing about the area, I'd say it's likely. Under the circumstances, this could easily mean war between Azerbaijan and Iran, since Iran has clearly made the Zangezur corridor a red line. Turkey would have to decide whether to intervene, which is as much as to say that there is a risk of bringing NATO into war with Iran; but Iran is certainly emboldened by its perception of the status of the Ukrainian war. The situation is a powder-keg, to say the least.

Western vehicle losses not a big deal, since they're designed to prioritize survival of the crews. I've been saying this ever since Western media has been trying to terrify with Bradley losses, but official journalists are finally clarifying better than I could.

[King Zultan]

More wars starting sounds like the beginning of more fun times, will we get a separate thread for that one or will we just add it to this one?

I've noticed for a while now there's been a concerted effort on the part of our media, especially business-oriented media, to try to convince Americans not to support any more aid to Ukraine. Previously, it was, "well, the offensive's stalled, isn't it so boring and hard to care about now?"; now that that's become a hard claim to maintain, it's "Ukraine doesn't need any more tanks, those tanks did their job, everything's fine and you don't need to care about it".
Tanks aren't ablative armor, though.

I simply don't believe that Iran is this stupid. Even in the case of the most optimistic scenario with Turkey limiting its assistance to arms supplies, this is unwinnable and will destabilize Iran with its large Azerbaijani diaspora.
