-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
Lokomotiv just can't be stopped
Lokomotiv soundly beat Kunlun Red Star 5-1, they were like a runaway freight train scoring twice in the first, twice more in the second, and a final goal in the third! Red Star managed a goal towards the end of the second but they just weren't able to compete with the momentum Lokomotiv had!
Lokomotiv next plays Barys Astana on Saturday, October 19 at 5pm Moscow Standard Time
УРА ЛОКОМОТИВ
Al Jazeera correspondent Dorsa Jabbari says that Residential buildings in Dahiye (southern suburbs of Beirut) are "completely empty" of residents and uncritically repeats 'israeli' claims about Hezbollah storing weapons under people's homes.
Lanat ala al Jazeera.
Dozens of soon-to-be-retired Australian Abrams tanks will be sent to Ukraine under a $245 million military support package.
[...]
More than a year after Kyiv first expressed interest in the aging M1A1 fleet, and months after Australia rejected a request to donate its grounded Taipan helicopters, the Albanese government has confirmed it will now gift 49 of the American-made tanks.
The Taipan helicopters that kept crashing lol
"One of the unique elements of the Australian tanks is that they're in reasonably good working order. The fact the Ukrainians already have some M1A1s in theatre from the allies suggests there's a good logistics chain there as well as some training," he told the ABC.
yeah because they don't get used. As long as the government keeps buying american tanks right? The article mentions they had to get permission to send them to ukraine too. sovereign borders and social cohesion, oh yeah.
And then there's this tidbit:
"We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine in their fight against Russia's illegal invasion," Mr Conroy.

Further humanitarian assistance to Occupied Palestinian Territories and the region
Joint media release with:
Senator the Hon Penny Wong, Minister for Foreign Affairs

Australia will provide an additional $21.5 million in humanitarian assistance to the Middle East, including in response to the urgent and ongoing humanitarian needs resulting from the Hamas-Israel conflict.

Humanitarian Assistance to Lebanon
Joint media release with:
Senator the Hon Penny Wong, Minister for Foreign Affairs 28 September 2024
