▫️ There’s One Thing Ukraine’s ATACMS Missiles Can’t Do: Blow Up Tanks, — Forbes

The Biden Administration emphasizes its commitment to supporting Ukraine with ATACMS rockets while safeguarding U.S. military readiness. To achieve this, the U.S. Army has allocated a portion of its stockpile, including many soon-to-expire M39 rockets.

🕯 9:00 - minute of silence

Dmytro Chasovsky died on August 13, 2023 in Donetsk region. He was 33.

Dmytro lived in the city of Chervonograd, Lviv region. He worked in a mine. He tried to devote all his free time to his family.

During the full-scale war, the man was mobilized into the ranks of the Armed Forces. Dmytro served as an artilleryman of the 80th ODSHBr.

During his service, he was awarded the medal "For Military Service to Ukraine".

Colleagues and comrades remember Dmytro as a faithful, reliable comrade, a kind, decent person, a brave, selfless son of Ukraine.

The soldier is survived by his mother, wife, son, daughter, relatives, friends and siblings.

NATO countries have launched an operation in the Black Sea: they are clearing the shipping corridor of mines

A group of ships of the Bulgarian and Romanian navies has started trawling (searching for and neutralizing sea mines) along the coast of Bulgaria, Andriy Klymenko, the head of the monitoring group of the Black Sea Strategic Research Institute, said.

The decision to start trawling was made on October 12, 2023 at a meeting in the Ramstein format in Brussels, and on October 16 the ships already went to sea.

The operation to search for mines is not limited to the territorial waters (12-mile zone) of Bulgaria, but extends to the adjacent water area, through which the routes of bulk carriers of the new Ukrainian grain corridor pass

They are both cut from the same cloth. Think it's all about making a lot of noise.

1. The October pogrom came to the sinking Arab world, crumbling, divided, conflicted, poor, without hope for a better future. Here, precisely the Palestinians - whom no one in the Arab world thought were capable of anything other than rapprochement with the Gulf countries and the West, proved that they can surprise Israel and strike it with barbarism that arouses mass enthusiasm.

2. Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen, Egypt, Jordan, the territories of the Palestinian Authority - states and political entities in partial or total collapse, are the main centers of identification with Hamas and "Palestine". The October pogrom became a source of inspiration for all the spineless people in the Middle East, who hate Israel because it succeeds where they repeatedly fail. This inspiration will also disappear!

The first plea deal was 6 misdemeanors. The second, not surprising, was a felony. And he will be giving up everything and everybody.
