Lol. Cry, beg, scream, Icj, Un, USA, clowns protesting. No one on Earth can stop ISRAEL from destroying Hamas.

How can you justify Hamas invasion, rape?
You say it didn't start on October 7, okay so Hamas attack is a retaliation they say, even when there was a Ceasefire. Why then is Israel attack not also retaliation. Why wailing all over the media. Hamas sent thousand of rockets into Israel, iron dome destroyed them. Israel retaliates everyone cries genocide. Lol. What would you have said if Hamas rocket killed a thousand of Israelis? Thanks to the iron dome and other defense mechanism.

I guess you were expecting Israel to hug the TERRORISTS. This is just the beginning, Hamas terrorists must be levelled down to the last man.

Foreign Affairs / Alexei Navalny’s Former Chief Of Staff Volkov Attacked In Lithuania(photos) by Botragelad: 3:42am On Mar 13
Leonid Volkov, former chief of staff of Alexei Navalny, was attacked outside his home in Lithuania, Navalny’s former spokesperson Kira Yarmysh has said.
“Leonid Volkov has just been attacked outside his house. Someone broke a car window and sprayed tear gas in his eyes, after which the attacker started hitting Leonid with a hammer. Leonid is now at home, police and ambulance are on their way to him,” Yarmish wrote.

“Leonid Volkov was attacked with a hammer. He is alive, I will publish the details later. [...] The attack took place in front of his house, they hit him in the legs with a hammer,” Ivan Zhdanov, the director of Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation, wrote on Telegram.

Volkov served as chairman of Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation (FBK) until 2023.

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in an Arctic prison on February 16.

Foreign Affairs / Andrew Tate And Brother Tristan Arrested In Romania On UK Warrant. by Botragelad: 5:10pm On Mar 12
Andrew Tate has been detained in Romania after an arrest warrant was issued by UK authorities following an investigation by Bedfordshire police, the Guardian understands.

The social media influencer, 37, and his brother Tristan Tate, 35, face charges including “sexual aggression” dating to 2012-15, [/b]according to a statement by his representative.

The representative said the pair were due before the Bucharest court of appeal on Tuesday for a decision on whether the European arrest warrant should be executed.

[b]The Tate brothers were charged with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women in a separate case in Romania after being arrested in the country’s capital in December 2022 alongside two Romanian women. All four deny the allegations.


In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Tates’ representative said: “This bewildering revival of decade-old accusations has left the Tate brothers dismayed and deeply troubled. They categorically reject all charges and express profound disappointment that such serious allegations are being resurrected without substantial new evidence.

“The Tate brothers assert that the timing and circumstances surrounding the reappearance of these allegations raise serious questions about the motives behind this legal action. The suggestion that Mr Tate’s rise to fame may have played a role in these developments adds another layer of distress and concern.”

The kickboxer’s representative said the pair “unequivocally deny all allegations”, and were “fully committed to challenging these accusations with unwavering determination and resolve”.

The statement added: “As the Bucharest court of appeal convenes today, the Tate brothers are still hopeful that the court will consider the broader implications of this case and its potential impact on justice and due process. They remain resolute in their pursuit of truth and justice, confident that the legal system will ultimately vindicate their innocence.”

The Tate brothers arrived in court on Tuesday morning for a hearing.

At least two British police forces are understood to have had an interest in Andrew Tate’s activities in the UK.

It is unclear which specific allegations the extradition request from the British authorities relate to.

Three women have previously spoken to Hertfordshire police, based just outside London, to make allegations. British prosecutors decided last year not to pursue their cases believing they were unlikely to get a conviction.

Hertfordshire police referred media inquiries about Tate on Tuesday to Bedfordshire police, who in turn declined to comment.

A spokesperson for the Crown Prosecution Service, which authorises criminal charges in England and Wales, confirmed that Hertfordshire police had submitted a file about potential charges after receiving allegations about Tate.

The spokesperson said specialist prosecutors had reviewed the case and informed the women in January 2023 that the case would not be pursued: “Rape is a devastating crime, and every case that comes to the CPS is dealt with by a specialist prosecutor in one of our dedicated rape and sexual offences units.

“In this case, we carefully reviewed all the evidence provided by the police regarding each complainant and concluded it did not meet our legal test, and there was no realistic prospect of a conviction.

“We sent a letter to each complainant explaining our decision not to charge.

“We acknowledge the bravery of everyone who comes forward and want them to be confident that their case will be prosecuted whenever our legal test is met.”

Travel / Russian Military Plane Crashes In Ivanovo With 15 Onboard; All Dead(photo) by Botragelad: 4:57pm On Mar 12
A Russian defense ministry cargo plane crashed in the Ivanovo region, northeast of Moscow, shortly after taking off from a western Russian air base. The aircraft, identified as an Ilyushin Il-76, had 15 individuals on board, comprising eight crew members and seven passengers. According to reports from Russian online media, there are no survivors, as per media reports.

The Russian defense minister has indicated that the crash may have been caused by an engine fire during takeoff. Disturbing videos circulating online show the plane engulfed in flames shortly before it went down, with one engine visibly on fire. The crash site was characterized by a dark plume of smoke emanating from the wreckage.

A viral post on X (formerly Twitter) shows a harrowing image of the aircraft, with one engine engulfed in flames, descending rapidly toward the ground. The photo captures the moment before the plane crashes, with a dark plume of smoke rising from the impact site.

In January, there was a significant plane crash involving a Russian military transport aircraft, specifically an Ilyushin-76, in the southern Belgorod region near Ukraine. The Russian Ministry of Defence disclosed that the plane was transporting 65 captured Ukrainian military personnel, slated for a potential prisoner exchange. Subsequent to the crash, Ukrainian military intelligence released a statement accusing Russia of endangering the lives of prisoners of war.

Travel / Boeing Whistleblower, John Barnett Found Dead In The US by Botragelad: 2:00am On Mar 12
A former Boeing employee known for raising concerns about the firm's production standards has been found dead in the US.

John Barnett had worked for Boeing for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017.

In the days before his death, he had been giving evidence in a whistleblower lawsuit against the company.

Boeing said it was saddened to hear of Mr Barnett's passing. The Charleston County coroner confirmed his death to the BBC on Monday.

It said the 62-year-old had died from a "self-inflicted" wound on 9 March and police were investigating.

Mr Barnett had worked for the US plane giant for 32 years, until his retirement in 2017 on health grounds.

From 2010, he worked as a quality manager at the North Charleston plant making the 787 Dreamliner, a state-of-the-art airliner used mainly on long-haul routes.

In 2019, Mr Barnett told the BBC that under-pressure workers had been deliberately fitting sub-standard parts to aircraft on the production line.

He also said he had uncovered serious problems with oxygen systems, which could mean one in four breathing masks would not work in an emergency.

He said soon after starting work in South Carolina he had become concerned that the push to get new aircraft built meant the assembly process was rushed and safety was compromised, something the company denied.

John Barnett was a former quality control manager at Boeing

He later told the BBC that workers had failed to follow procedures intended to track components through the factory, allowing defective components to go missing.
He said in some cases, sub-standard parts had even been removed from scrap bins and fitted to planes that were being built to prevent delays on the production line.

He also claimed that tests on emergency oxygen systems due to be fitted to the 787 showed a failure rate of 25%, meaning that one in four could fail to deploy in a real-life emergency.

Mr Barnett said he had alerted managers to his concerns, but no action had been taken.

Boeing denied his assertions. However, a 2017 review by the US regulator, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), did uphold some of Mr Barnett's concerns.

It established that the location of at least 53 "non-conforming" parts in the factory was unknown, and that they were considered lost. Boeing was ordered to take remedial action.

On the oxygen cylinders issue, the company said that in 2017 it had "identified some oxygen bottles received from the supplier that were not deploying properly". But it denied that any of them were actually fitted on aircraft.

After retiring, he embarked on a long-running legal action against the company.

He accused it of denigrating his character and hampering his career because of the issues he pointed out - charges rejected by Boeing.

At the time of his death, Mr Barnett had been in Charleston for legal interviews linked to that case.

Last week, he gave a formal deposition in which he was questioned by Boeing's lawyers, before being cross-examined by his own counsel.

He had been due to undergo further questioning on Saturday. When he did not appear, enquiries were made at his hotel.

He was subsequently found dead in his truck in the hotel car park.


Speaking to the BBC, his lawyer described his death as "tragic".

In a statement Boeing said: "We are saddened by Mr. Barnett's passing, and our thoughts are with his family and friends."

His death comes at a time when production standards at both Boeing and its key supplier Spirit Aerosystems are under intense scrutiny.

This follows an incident in early January when an unused emergency exit door blew off a brand-new Boeing 737 Max shortly after take-off from Portland International Airport.

US LAUNCHES BOEING INVESTIGATION AFTER BLOWOUT.

Boeing review finds 'disconnect' on safety
A preliminary report from the US National Transportation Safety Board suggested that four key bolts, designed to hold the door securely in place, were not fitted.

Last week, the FAA said a six-week audit of the company had found "multiple instances where the company allegedly failed to comply with manufacturing quality control requirements".

Education / Re: Schools In 14 States, FCT Risk Attacks, Says FG by Botragelad: 5:51am On Mar 11
Be more specific. Schools in the north of Nigeria!
These guys running Nigeria are doing a rubbish job with security. Before you know it, if nothing is done, it'll be like Hezbollah, Houthi, ISIS, where they take over part of a country. Then they set up a caliphate for themselves. Force the people there to follow their rules.

Then those who can escape go to the south of Nigeria, the criminals run in with them, and then they start spreading the terror, if the south isn't careful they'll get the same thing. If you ask me, this isn't stopping anytime soon. Religion, these guys have been brainwashed to believe in terrorism, even their kids, just like every other religious nutjob.

Sort out the root cause, chop off the snake's head. Stop the cancer from spreading or it's just a waste of time, tell ya. We know how extremism mucks up the mind.

Foreign Affairs / US Sends Ship To Build Temporary Seaport In Gaza(photos) by Botragelad: 8:43am On Mar 10
General Frank S. Beeson of the US Army departs from Joint Base Langley-Eustis en route to the eastern Mediterranean, carrying equipment to establish a temporary dock in Gaza.

The US Central Command announced on Sunday that the United States had dispatched a ship carrying initial equipment to establish a temporary dock to deliver humanitarian supplies to the Gaza Strip.

The US Central Command announced in a statement on X that the US Army ship General Frank S. Beeson left Joint Base Langley-Eustis and is on its way to the Eastern Mediterranean.

On March 9, 2024, U.S. Army Vessel (USAV) General Frank S. Besson (LSV-1) from the 7th Transportation Brigade (Expeditionary), 3rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command, XVIII Airborne Corps, departed Joint Base Langley-Eustis en route to the Eastern Mediterranean less than 36 hours…

Earlier this week, according to The Economist, US President Joe Biden announced, during his State of the Union, address that he has directed his military to lead a mission that would establish a temporary pier that will bring humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.

Biden in contradictory statement: No 'red line' in defense of 'Israel'

"Tonight, I’m directing the US military to lead an emergency mission to establish a temporary pier in the Mediterranean on the Gaza coast that can receive large ships carrying food, water, medicine, and temporary shelters," he said during his speech.

"No US boots will be on the ground," Biden claimed.

He added that the temporary pier would enable a massive increase in the amount of humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza but stressed that "Israel" must play its part in the process for it to be successful.

According to The Economist, Biden refuses to utilize America's clout to push "Israel" to let additional supplies into Gaza. Now, after enabling "Israel's" behavior for months, he is seeking ways to free it of accountability.

Gibberish as usual. Mossad is ace at intelligence but they weren't ace when Iran captured and executed four of its agents in December 2023.

They weren't ace when one of their senior agents was killed in his Lamborghini right inside Israel in December 2022.

They're weren't ace when Hamas revenged the neverending massacres of Palestinians on October 7 last year.

All they know how to do is massacre civilians. Hamas responded to their latest massacre and they're revenging like mad dogs on heat, killing babies and children and bombing schools and hospitals.

After five months of war, they still can't point to one single Hamas fighter that they've killed. Meanwhile, Hamas will point to hundreds of Israeli soldiers it killed.

Go to YouTube. You will see videos of Israeli tanks getting destroyed by Hamas at close range along with Israeli soldiers dropping like flies after getting shot by Hamas snipers.

Here's the gist. This Iranian man is part of the Iranian quds force. He also has a Peru passport and has been living there since 1997, apparently married to a Peruvian.

His main scheme was to assassinate an Israeli at the Apec summit or maybe pull off a terror attack with some other guys, but as usual foreign agency (possibly mossad) + Peruvian authority got him.

Iran seems to be rubbish at doing assassinations or spy stuff outside their hole. Most time, they get caught one way or another. Why? I think it has to do with the fact that they place religion before common sense. Let me tell you.
When you are driven by religion to do terror attacks, you are likely to mess it up because you are always in a rush, no patience, proper intel, you think you are guided by some god. Something very common with religious terrorists. They lack logistics!

Doing such an attack needs more than that, something Iran guys lack from my observation. The world is a small place. Everything is linked. Someone is probably watching and tracking you. How did this guy think he could do the attack without getting caught. Lol

Being an Iranian is enough to monitor your moves, and the mossad are ace at intelligence, assets on ground. They always have the info they need, especially when it involves an Israeli.

Remember "By Way of Deception, Thou Shalt Do War. And that they do; they are the best."

Foreign Affairs / Peru Arrests Iranian Over Plot To Attack Asia-pacific Summit(photos) by Botragelad: 1:03am On Mar 09
Peru has arrested an Iranian national and a Peruvian citizen on charges of plotting to carry out a terrorist attack at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC).

The Peruvian Police’s Counter-Terrorism Directorate (Dircote) identified the Iranian as Majid Azizi, Peruvian media reported Thursday. Police said Azizi was cooperating with two Peruvians, Walter Fernández Fukunoto and Felipe Trucios Leon, for the attack. Only the former has been arrested.

Azizi was arrested on Thursday afternoon after he withdrew money from the Interbank bank, located in the Plaza de Armas in the center of the capital Lima. The Peruvian police did not specify which exact meeting was the target of the alleged terrorist operation.

According to the work schedule and the usual practices and standards of the forum, Peru is responsible for organizing more than 160 meetings from the end of 2023 and throughout 2024.

According to the US State Department, Senior Official for APEC Ambassador Matt Murray travelled to Lima from March 4 to 8 to attend a series of meetings, workshops, and stakeholder engagements.

This is the second time in the last decade that Iran in implicated in an attack in Peru.

In 2014, Peruvian authorities arrested a suspected operative of Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lima on suspicion of planning attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets. Mohammed Amadar, a Lebanese citizen, was gathering intelligence on places frequented by Israeli hikers and on Jewish institutions. A search of his apartment discovered TNT, detonators and flammable substances. Peruvian authorities were tipped off to Amadar’s alleged activities by the Israeli intelligence service Mossad.

Foreign Affairs / US Army Soldier Indicted And Accused Of Selling Sensitive Military Information. by Botragelad: 3:04am On Mar 08
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — An Army soldier has been arrested on accusations of selling sensitive information related to U.S. military capabilities, Justice Department officials said Thursday.
Michelle Troconis' family and attorney react to guilty verdict in Dulos case

Sgt. Korbein Schultz, who is also an intelligence analyst, was accused in a six-count indictment of charges including conspiring to obtain and disclose military defense information and bribery of a public official. The 24-year-old was arrested at Fort Campbell, which straddles the Tennessee-Kentucky border, shortly after the indictment was released Thursday.

“The men and women of the United States Armed Forces dedicate their lives to maintain our national security,” Henry C. Leventis, U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, told reporters. “Our laws protecting national defense information are critical to that mission, and they must be enforced. Illegal dissemination of national defense information puts our country, our fellow citizens, members of our military and our allies at risk.”

According to the indictment, Schultz — who had a top-secret security clearance — allegedly conspired with an individual identified only as “Conspirator A” to disclose various documents, photographs and other national defense materials since June 2022. The indictment claims that Schultz was recruited by the individual not only due to his security clearance but also because he was tasked with gathering sensitive U.S. military information.

Some of the information that Schultz supposedly gave to the individual included information related to the High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, hypersonic equipment, studies on future developments of U.S. military forces and studies on military drills and operations in major countries like China.

The indictment outlines that Schultz was initially asked to provide documents detailing lessons that could be learned from Russia's war with Ukraine and how those lessons could be applied to the U.S. helping Taiwan in the event of an attack. Schultz was paid $200 for that information, which then prompted Conspirator A, to ask for a "long-term partnership."

Conspirator A, who was described in the indictment as a foreign national purporting to reside in Hong Kong, later suggested that Schultz could earn more money if he handed over “internal only” material rather than unclassified documents.

In total, Shultz received at least 14 payments totaling $42,000.
“The defendant and his co-conspirator also discussed recruiting another member of the U.S. military to join their conspiracy and to provide additional national defense information in order to conceal their illegal conduct,” Leventis said.

Army spokesperson Lt. Col. Ruth Castro said in a statement that Schultz has been in the Army since November 2018 and his hometown is Wills Point, Texas.

Is the Israeli act of genocide against Gaza internationally supported?
Is the US support for Syrian terrorists, including ISIS against the legitimate government of Syria internationally supported?
The UN has five permanent security members, most sanctions by US are only supported by three out of 5.

Please, US and Israel have shown that might is right and diplomacy is useless. So their enemies can only speak to them in the language they understand. Watch the world go in flames because of the arrogance of those who think they are not accountable.

Mynd44:

The Gulf Of Aden IS NOT international waters.

This is a repeat of the 1958 invasion of Egypt by England and France for control of the Suez Cannal.

The Gulf of Aden is not open waters and falls in the territory of Somalia, Yemen and Djibouti.

When you understand this you understand the problem.
You couldn't even explain to me how it's not international waters and what makes it not international waters. Look how you dodged my response and chose to cherry pick. Hilarious!

The 1958 invasion of Egypt by England and France was a totally different situation. It was sparked by the nationalisation of the Suez Canal by Egyptian president, who took over the control of the canal from the foreign-owned Suez Canal Company to the Egyptian government.

I don't get how you compare the two situations. The Gulf of Aden is not a narrow waterway.

Alright, if it is Yemen's water. I ask you again, mate, what right does Houthi, which is a terrorist group, have to attack ships passing by?

Can we also justify when Boko Haram carry out a terrorist attack on a busy route. Do they represent the Nigeria government? I don't think you are getting the point here.

It doesn't.

But when you have different rules for different people, people will seek justice outside the law and attempts to gaslight them will only be laughed off.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, there was global condemnation and sanctions and this was rightly done.

When Isreal invaded Gaza and Palestine what happened? Crickets.

When this I justice is allowed, people who want justice will seek it outside the law and it becomes a fuckfess. So yes, the Houthis are "terrorists" but can we also say they are a rights group fighting for the rights of Palestinians?

I can bet if this group were bombing ships in order to defend Ukraine, you wouldn't mind.

Again is the Gulf of Aden international waters? What was the ship and the Western horde doing there?
I reckon you are overlooking the fact that Houthi is a terrorist group and they are not Yemen naval force. Bear that in mind before you try to make a point that they are in charge of the gulf of aden which you think is their water. I gave you an example using Boko Haram in Nigeria.

Your argument is flawed. I can see how you are trying to defend the Houthi attack on a commercial ship in the Gulf of Aden by comparing it to the Israel-Hamas war and the Russia-Ukraine war, but these are not the same situations.

First, the Houthi attack on the ship was not an act of self-defence or resistance. The ship was a Barbados-flagged bulk carrier carrying steel and it had nothing at all to do with Israel or the US, and it was sailing in international waters(Google is your buddy). I stated this earlier. Even if it were Yemen's water what right does Houthi,a terrorist group have to attack ships passing by? That should be Yemen's problem not Houthi!

Israel and Hamas have been in a long-standing conflict for decades. Hamas is another terrorist group that controls/controlled the Gaza Strip and rejects Israel's right to exist. It has fired thousands of rockets at Israel, targeting civilians and infrastructure. Israel has responded by targeting Hamas. How's that Israel's fault?

Russia and Ukraine, on the other hand, have been in a war since 2014, when Russia invaded and took Crimea from Ukraine and backed separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine. For one, Russia violated Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and yeah they faced global condemnation and sanctions for their actions.

I don't see how you can compare the Houthi attack on a commercial ship with the Israel-Hamas war or the Russia-Ukraine war. The Houthi attack was not justified by any moral or legal standard, and it cannot be seen as a valid form of resistance or justice.

I know where you are going with this and I have to burst your bubble, the Gulf of Aden is not a Yemen strait. It is a deepwater gulf of the Indian Ocean between Yemen, Djibouti, Somalia, and the Arabian Sea.

That ship was sailing in international waters, which means it had the right to pass through the Gulf of Aden without interference from anyone.

The Houthis do not have the right to attack the ship or any other vessel. The attack was in simple term a breach of international law. The Houthis are not a rights group fighting for the rights of Palestinians, as you claim, they are taking advantage of a situation. They are a rebel group that has been fighting against the internationally recognised government of Yemen with the support of Iran. Do you get it now?

Is FIFA a terrorist group?
Ooh you are comparing Russia ban from FIFA to Houthis attacking commercial ships, correct?

And how does that make any point in this conversation?
