A Russian missile struck a residential building in the center of Kharkiv, completely demolishing the fourth floor and partially damaging the third floor. Fifteen people living in the building were evacuated right after the explosion, and three people who were injured were given medical attention. For three hours, rescuers searched for the body of a woman who had died from her injuries. Now, SES specialists are inspecting the neighboring houses to see if they were also affected, and response operations are still ongoing. In the near future, the building will be examined to determine if it can be restored or if it needs to be demolished. If necessary, all those affected will be provided with temporary housing.
On the eve of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Putin threatened Boris Johnson with a missile strike. Johnson recounted this in a BBC documentary, Putin vs. the West, saying that Putin told him it would only take a minute. Johnson had warned Putin that war would be a disaster and that Ukraine would not join NATO in the foreseeable future. Nine days later, Secretary of Defense Ben Wallace flew to Moscow to meet with Sergei Shoigu, where he was assured that Russia would not attack Ukraine. However, less than two weeks later, Russian tanks crossed the border into Ukraine. Johnson then received a phone call from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who informed him that they were being attacked everywhere. Johnson offered to help evacuate Zelenskyy to safety, but he heroically stayed where he was.
Russia spent nearly half a century constructing its energy market in Europe, but in just 50 weeks, President Putin had dismantled it. As Europeans worked to create alternative energy sources, the Russians redirected their crude oil supplies to China and India. Well done to the Russians for their successful efforts.

The world must provide more defense support to our heroes at the front in order to bring an end to Russia's aggression and ensure reliable security guarantees for Ukraine and all our partners after the war. We must ensure that the terrorist state loses and that people's right to life is protected. Peter Batanov, Rick Mave, Olena Tita, George Ivanchenko, Vadym Sarakhan, Iryna Rybakova, Danylo Pavlov, Oleg Petrasiuk for EPA Images, and Dima Kornilov are all dedicated to this cause.

In the Sviatoshynskyi district of Kyiv, a man was selling drugs disguised as coffee. Law enforcement seized goods worth over 800 thousand Ukrainian hryvnias. The man, who was working for an online store, had been distributing psychotropic substances in the capital and making payments to customers through electronic wallets. He now faces up to 12 years in prison, with the possibility of having his property confiscated.

My upstairs neighbor in Branson is from Iowa. He thinks Missouri is politically an oasis compared to Iowa.
Here’s a case of Islamic “justice.” As you may know playing music of dancing in public is illegal under the rule of the #IRGCTerrorists who have occupied #iran for the last 44 years. In this video, Astiyazh Haghighi and Amir Ahmadi dance in front of the Azadi tower in Tehran. Both have been sentenced to 10 years in prison this act. I wish I was making this up but this is life under the Islamic republic of terror. #iranrevolution
In this video we see Astiyazh Haghighi and Amir Ahmadi dance in front of the Azadi Tower. They have been sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment for this act by the Islamic Republic of Terror. https://persia.social/@kambiz/109775656536751816
@TheOldGuy yes, you are right, our existence hinges on having rational caring leaders. Since we are a two party system we have a 50/50 chance on wether this becomes our nightmarish reality.
During '70s I saw LAPD murder a man on his front lawn. It was in Westwood, just a a few blocks from UCLA medical center (which does have a level I ER.)
The cops shot him and let him flop around on the ground, unattended, while they summoned an ambulance from downtown LA, at rush hour. Took more than an hour for it to arrive.
The victim, by then, was dead.
So the 22 minute delay in Memphis is not something new - it is, perhaps, a well practiced drill.
@Lady_Star_Gem i sure hope there’s a DOJ investigation already in progress. If The NY Times knew about it, Garland has known for a LONG time. My big prayer is all of this sh*t, from Russia to Ukraine to Jan 6 to the theft and hiding of classified docs., are all related and they get him on treason. 😉
"The first use of the new Apple Emergency SOS via satellite in B.C. may have saved the lives of two women who were stranded in the wilderness near McBride...." (because) they decided to use "Google Maps for an alternate route and decided to take a detour through the Holmes Forest Service Road." 🤨 🤔 #technology #overreliance https://www.timescolonist.com/bc-news/first-use-of-apple-emergency-sos-in-bc-may-have-saved-two-lives-6442981
