That’s a new low for the pro-Ankara desk, to whitewash and deny the Armenian Genocide as “upheavals”…I wonder if they also call the Holocaust “upheavals”. Why is it that when it comes to reporting on Ankara, the Ankara desk is more far-right and reactionary than the regime
It’s not an “upheaval” when people are systematically ethnic cleansed and deported and genocided. The same media can report with empathy about migrants at the US border, why can’t they have empathy for Armenians? And also why do they continue to whitewash genocide in Afrin?
These same media talk about “facts matter” and “truth matters” and “democracy dies in darkness”….well describing extermination and genocide as “upheavals” is exactly how truth is eviscerated.

If rockets were used to target Tanf, the operator has to fire them from somewhere and there is a 55-kilometer zone around their military base near al-Tanf...so that is beyond range of 107mm and near 122mm rockets, right? So what kind of rockets? Drones is easier to use.
That is why drones were used against Erbil and other areas in KRG because rockets are very difficult to get into place in Nineveh in range. There were several rocket attacks also on Erbil but they were not very precise. The drone attacks by contrast hit a hangar. See.
We know this because the pro-Iran groups used rockets dozens of times from 2019 to 2020 but transitioned to drones in 2021. This is well known. And documented. mideastcenter.org/post/rockets-f…

What a strange article, it claims to give us the “story” behind the outrage, casts doubt on official reports but then the entire article is just speculation and has no further details, didn’t interview anyone; it’s not opinion based on any additional facts, just casting doubt.Odd ImageImageImage
I won’t post a link to it because I think that major media has a responsibility, if they are going to call into question a widely reported rape, and pretend there is “the story behind” that they will provide info and not just muddy the waters
Also the bizarre speciation that the bystanders were afraid but also that one filmed it and didn’t call the police….and that the bystanders may also be racist. Well which is it? Were they afraid, or racist? Why film it but not call police?

Israel has been working on lasers for many years but it takes time; below a short review
The Defense Ministry has successfully carried out a series of interceptions to shoot down drones with a powerful airborne laser system installed on a civilian light aircraft. m.jpost.com/israel-news/is…
Back in 2020 “Israel is developing lasers to defeat drones, rockets, artillery, mortars and anti-tank guided missiles, its Defense Ministry announced Jan. 8, calling the effort a major breakthrough by its Directorate of Defense Research and Development.” defensenews.com/industry/techw…

Thread/ The replies to my article mocking the 100k "Hezbollah fighters" claim tend to argue that "no, it is possible." Come on folks...run the numbers.
Who are Hezbollah supporters? Some of the Shi'ites in Lebanon. That's the basic pool of people who join Hezbollah, besides some folk from Syria or Iraq who somehow found their way to the group.
Given the principle pool is Lebanon. And it's among Shi'ites and it's a segment of those Shi'ites. What number do you think the pool of potential supporters is? Let's say out of maybe 7 million Lebanese...are we talking 1-2 million potential supporters?

Remember all that mumbo-jumbo about a borderless world and globalization blah blah…well turns out that this is a world is walls and MORE walls everyday, and soon it will all be walls. A divided, totalitarian world is what this century brings. Boxes and more alertness. Bigotry
I had to sit through these ridiculous classes in university where people would talk about their world without borders….yeah it was tried in Schengen, I was there in HU in 2015 when it began to breakdown, also saw the border wall Ankara put up, I saw the one Israel built etc etc
When I was in high school people used to go leave water for migrants crossing from Mexico in Arizona…now there are walls and more walls…I think basically everywhere I’ve been I’ve seen the walls and fences go up. And then the pandemic and more CCTV etc etc
