⚡The President of Latvia did not rule out closing the Baltic to all Russian ships

“The Baltic Sea could be closed to all Russian ships if the investigation reveals Russian involvement in damage to the gas infrastructure,” Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics said.

“We are talking with the presidents of Estonia and Finland, this issue is also being discussed at the level of prime ministers.

In fact, the first response is to increase NATO patrols. However, I would argue that in the circumstances it is necessary.

If some kind of responsibility is confirmed by Russia or another country - well, it is unlikely that another country... I would say that, in my opinion, the issue will be discussed that we will close the Baltic Sea to all Russian ships," Rinkevics said on TV3.
A local government nation wants to lock doors against a continent. Some of these NATO chestbeating countries are on opiods. cool

Did you say "deterred" or are you just throwing words around? Have they stopped Russia from bombing anywhere they wanted to bomb? On the contrary, the weapons have only helped to increase and prolong Ukrainian sufferings in and out of the battlefield. Its folly by western thinking that they can use Ukraine to defeat Russia militarily and economically.

⚡Israel's Foreign minister hinting at annexation of parts of Gaza?

"At the end of this war, not only will Hamas no longer be in Gaza, the territory of Gaza will also decrease"
This have always been the ground plot all along. Hamas fell for the bait and Netanyahoo was keen on wasting some innocent lives of its citizens to realize this objective. That was why he didn't consider the Intel the Egyptians gave him concerning a possible attack. That man is wicked and devious.

I agree that the manner in which Hamas went about it is wrong, and I said it from beganing.
If I may ask, what do u think is the best way for them to go about it? Since everyone refuse to listen to their cry for decades. What is ur suggestion?
If I were Hamas and I intend to fight, then I must make sure I have the capability that can match or at least stand up to that of the enemy.

Besides,Hamas could have elated not to Target civilians. There are lots of military target available for them to hit, instead of targeting purely civilians like the crowd at the music festival.

If Hamas knew it could not accomplish the two options above, then it has no business starting the fight at the first place because the repercussions always result in chaos, hardship, and and untold death and destruction like what we are seeing now, which has always been so. It was pure folly on their part.

I think most are seeing the issue from the perspective of ''oppressor and oppressed''. In which the oppressed can commit any barbaric act like rape, and this will be seen as an act of libration on the path of the opressed. Thats why you see somepeople cheering on hamas when they started this round of conflict. Mind you am not implying isreal is is right targetting civillians. Both side are equally wrong.(
You just said the obvious. Trying to justify a criminal act in the name of being oppressed is naturally and legally wrong. Both Israel and Hamas committed act of terror, and it's only out of emotion that some of our brothers here want to justify or exonerate their deeds. What is wrong is always wrong no matter whose horse is gored.

No you do not represent humanity anyone who represents humanity must be ready to say the truth. You avoided my question. Why did Hama strike? Did Hamas just like doing this for the fun of it? If Israel did not expand up to this level by encroaching on Palestinian lands and killing them daily there won't be Hamas. Even the Oslo peace accord that Yasar Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin signed was not honored by Israel instead Israel continued to expand and encroach on Palestinian lands.

Our black ancestors were taken to sugarcane plantions in the Americas they were subjected to all forms of barbarity but at some point they rose up against their slave masters and spilled blood to gain their freedom. Should we call them terrorists too? The Palestinians are fighting the war of liberation though the hypocritical west is against them but like someone said here it's better to die fighting oppression than stand aloof while enduring its pains which will still lead to your death.
Why did Hamas strike is immaterial here; what happened when Hamas struck is the bone of contention.

You condemned Israel for oppressing and murdering Palestinians for ages, and that is correct. But when Hamas did the same, you want them exonerated in the name of being oppressed, but truth doesn't work that way.

There is no justification for murder or terrorism that people commit. There is a reason why they said two wrongs cannot make a right.

People have been condemning Israel for the killings of Palestinians because the major object of their attack on Palestine is civilians, the majority of which are not armed. And if Hamas in the name of revenge do the same, they should as well be condemned because the majority of the object of their attack are civilians too. It is that simple.

So Hamas was guilty in their initial attack right? What provoked such retribution from Hamas? Do you know how many innocent Israeli that have died at the hands of Israeli security forces since the beginning of this year? Should Palestinians continue to endure this hellish life Israel has subjected them to. The West is not ready to give them a statehood. Their Arab brothers that should be fighting for them are asslicking US.

Or should they vacate their remaining tiny land that Israel is still trying to take from them and come to Nigeria to become refugees? They don't have a stand by military Hamas is the only movement that can fight and avenge them. The rulers of the world (The West) are against them. So what exactly should they do if Hamas is "guilty" as you have said. You people won't see the atrocities Isreal had been committing but whenever Hamas respond then they are "terrorists" they are "guilty". It is well.
Anybody that attack innocent civilians no matter the reasons so advocated is guilty of terrorism because its folly to hold civilian populations accountable for the actions of their government.

The Hamas attack that kills unsuspecting and harmless people, be it Israelis or not, is pure act of terror, and the IDF that has been killing Palestinian stone throwing kids and young men for ages, including the latest bombing of the Baptist hospital are guilty of terrorism and murder as well.

I represent truth on the side of humanity, I don't represent Jews or Palestinians in the name of religious bigotry.

His overall decisions in the last 12 months have been succinctly adjudged to have been extremely detrimental to the interests of the American people and his ratings are taking a very quick tumble.

Barring any miracles, I don't see him returning to the Oval office next year. Good thing the American democracy can't be financially influenced as blatantly as ours in Nigeria.
It doesn't matter who rules among the Dems. Truth be told, old Joe is just a figure head, I bet he doesn't even know what's going on around him. He isn't the one taking the final decisions, he just rubber stamps whatever they gives him to sign and seal. We should be more worried about Kamala Harris assuming the seat of the president officially. Something tells me that if they knew they cannot rig the elections this time and that Biden is going to lose the votes, they will come up with a story that he isn't mentally fit to continue as president, thus ushering in Kamala Harris, the witch. And even if he manage to win the second term, that possibility becomes even more likely within the first or second year into the Biden's maladministration. Either way, he is a done and dusted pawn of the dark knights ruling from the shadows.

I just got back from work and I saw the tweets. How can you bomb a hospital?

Bro, what Israel did today is the spark that kickstarts WW3. We already said it was gonna come from ME or the Balkans.

It was a very stupid move, and even the lie they cooked up about Hamas doing it was sillier than anything. In the words of Alois Irlmaier:

"...suddenly, a NEW Middle East war flares up. Big naval vessels doing battle against each other in the Mediterranean Sea...."

Right now as I type, US strike group are in the Med, British ships are also there, Turkey ships with republic of northern Cyprus are doing "drills" in that area too. NATO to conduct rapid response drills in close proximity too, while Russian ships and subs are stationed within and around the Syrian coast of Latakia and its surroundings in the Med.

Brother, here we are staring at the barrel of WW3, and Netanyahoo in his unguarded quest for blood and revenge just successfully ignited the flames that is about setting the globe on a nuclear conflagration path of no return. embarassed

That was a black lie. I'm disappointed with Israel. They have successfully turned global emotion against themselves. Everyone knew that Hamas rocket doesn't have such magnitude of destruction, otherwise, most parts of Israel that they successfully hit since the war began would have burned down completely, but that wasn't the case. Netanyahu is just as guilty a barbarian as Hamas was in their initial attack of Israel.

I don't think Israel is doing the right thing by directly targeting civilian populations killing innocent women and children who are not responsible for the misdeeds of Hamas, just as the massacred Jewish citizens by Hamas are not responsible for the actions of their government.

By turning off water supply and denying children and women access to drinking water, Israel is undoing itself in the course of what they termed as revenge. Even the US which is ready to back them all the way is now calling out the Netanyahoo government regarding this misdeed. There is a way the cosmic/nature view and respond to this type of things.

Now, Nature has given Israel plenty of water to drink (so long they don't get choked on it) via heavy flooding of Tel-aviv some hours ago. If Netanyahoo is spiritually minded enough, he would understand that this is a sign, and it's a bad omen of what is to come should he not thread with caution.
