  • Please elaborate and feel free to edit Wikipedia:

    On 8 October 2023, the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, taking advantage of the Israel–Hamas war, fired guided rockets and artillery shells at Israeli positions in the occupied Shebaa Farms. Israel retaliated by launching drone strikes and artillery shells at Hezbollah positions near Lebanon’s boundary with the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The outbreak of the conflict had followed Hezbollah’s declaration of support and praise for the Hamas attack on Israel, which took place on 7 October.








  • I’m openly critical against the whole NATO thing and DSA but you’re just being silly, ignorant, a troll or all of the above.

    I’d rather be a part of the Western military industrial complex than being Ukraine since 2014.

    If Russia just could stop aspiring to be the premier asshole of the northern hemisphere, Sweden would still be “neutral” and democratic neighbors of Russia wouldn’t be forced to put huge amounts of tax money into arms instead of healthcare.

    Russia essentially attacked the guy sitting next to them on the bus because they felt the guy was sitting too close.

    Of course everyone on the bus gets scared of the idiot attacking people!









  • No one seems to bother looking up the origin of this. Fødevarestyrelsen:

    However, the capsaicin content is so high that it can pose a health hazard. In Germany, several children have been hospitalized with poisoning after being challenged to eat strong chili chips.

    -The quantity of hot chili is even higher in the investigated noodles than in chili chips, which have previously led to poisoning injuries among children in Germany. That is why it is important that parents are aware of the extreme noodle varieties and avoid them, says Henrik Dammand Nielsen.

    I grow Carolina Reaper among other chilis and I like really really strong food. However, just because I like eating something doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous or that kids should eat it.


  • One of Russia’s top security officials called on Thursday for Russians to mobilise to inflict “maximum harm” on Western societies and infrastructure as payback for increasingly tough sanctions being imposed on Moscow by the U.S. and its allies.

    So… The sanctions are tough? You’re saying they are having an effect? Good that we finally get this confirmed.

    “We need to (respond). Not only the authorities, the state, but all our people in general. After all, they - the U.S. and its crappy allies - have declared a war on us without rules!,”

    This is a lie. The rule that Russia broke was “do not invade neighboring countries and don’t murder and rape the civilians”.

    In his latest comments he spoke of the need to find critical vulnerabilities in Western economies, to target energy, industry, transport, banking and social services, and to stir up social tensions.

    Yet again, why focus on this if the Russian economy is booming and sanctions are toothless?

    While we can discuss how big the effects of the sanctions on Russia and the Russian economy are, we can conclude that the sanctions have a real tangible and a clearly noticable impact.
