Afghan people do not deserve to suffer for the West losing its unjust war. Hard to take the hand-wringing when hardly 10/700 MEPs can bother to talk about the desperate conditions faced by millions in Afghanistan. We have to face facts and drop sanctions to let Afghans live. pic.twitter.com/98mWxwEkzu

The situation in Soledar doesn’t affect only Bakhmut, as Russia is also advancing north towards Siversk. At the same time it is also carrying out continuing attacks in Bilohorivka. Succesfully pushing Ukrainians back in Kreminna area would also help here. 7/ pic.twitter.com/EZLA1zzBrV

Why do you show outdated videos?

to prove my point that allepo was destroyed and it has to be rebuild. new buildings (if they are made up to standard) are not to prone to collapse even if earthquake is 9 (or even more). just take a look at japan. only superficial damage is on buildings that are made to be Earthquake-Proof. turkey (and that area) is prone to earthquakes. it is known fact. those buildings should be still standing.

this is 9 in japan


building (that are up to standard) are still standing. including skyscrapers. those building were not build to be earthquake resistant becuase somebody wanted to save money. while still knowing that turkey has high possibility for earthquakes.

What do you want to convince us here?

i am not in the businesses of convincing anybody. i just state facts (as i see them). i also may be wrong.

for example.i was wrong. it was not turkeys air force that downed that russian plane (that is another incident) it was missile from the ground.

The pilot of the Russian Su-25 jet shot down over Syria reportedly died fighting as his weapon was found with an empty magazine. He was being considered for a state award, documents found on his person apparently reveal.
The Russian airman killed by militants in the Al-Nusra-controlled area in Idlib province Saturday has reportedly been identified as Major Roman Filipov. Earlier, the Russian Defense ministry confirmed that the pilot died "during combat with terrorists." https://www.rt.com/news/417809-syria-pilot-identity-killed-fighting/

but it seems you are finding out for your self.

Seems that was wrong. 

Whom to trust? 

Everyone donating to @molhamteam for Syrian victims of the devastating earthquake should know that the donations go ONLY to Idlib, and NOT to Aleppo,Hama,Latakia or elsewhere, & they are known to pocket donations.

Also, their hero is the infamous terrorist, Abdel Baset Sarout. https://t.co/EarawrS0uy pic.twitter.com/u3Hy0f89Lj

Shallow earthquakes are very destructive over a small area. Tohoku was in the ocean and Tokyo was 4-500km away, like Ankara is from epicenters now.
Most buildings in the Turkey and Syryia affected zones are old. Europeans build for generation - stone, brick, concrete - not for 30-50 years like in US where most buildings are wooden frame that would rot. There were no codes when Gaziantep or Aleppo fortress were built either and there is no warranty that any building would survive a +7.5. Wet and sandy soil could liquify and swallow the strongest building.
Destruction level is based on many factors - P, S waves, building resonance frequency, soil structure and water saturation and duration of earthquake among others . Generally, the shaking intensity does not increase after a 7.0-7.5 magnitude. From there on, the magnitude is given mainly by duration. A magnitude 9 earthquake (energy release) can last +5 minutes.
The drop in ocean floor level causes tsunami and that is not necessarily linked to magnitude. A 7.5 magnitude earthquake with a significant floor drop can generate a much more devastating tsunami than a deeper 9 will.

Europe's drug shortages may get worse

“There has been a decline in European capacity and right now in this situation, there is not the spare capacity to really respond to these shortages,” said Rex Clements, chief executive of Dutch API maker Centrient Pharmaceuticals.
“There is no way we can increase our capacity in order to fill the market gap,” said Erick Tyssier, Teva’s head of government affairs in Europe. “It’s just not possible.”

Lawmakers Propose Letting Massachusetts Prisoners Donate Organs for Reduced Sentences

February 7th, 2023
Via: CBS:
A new bill proposed on Beacon Hill would allow Massachusetts prisoners to donate their organs for reduced sentences.
The legislation would give people anywhere from 60 days to a year off their prison sentence
“on the condition that the incarcerated individual has donated bone marrow or organ(s).”
The “act to establish the Massachusetts incarcerated individual bone marrow and organ donation program”
is sponsored by Democratic Reps. Judith Garcia, of Chelsea, and Carlos Gonzalez of Springfield.

They say it would “restore bodily autonomy to incarcerated folks”
and expand the pool of donors, especially for people of color who struggle to find a match.

US refuses to assist Syria after devastating earthquakes

The US has ruled out contacting the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad despite this week’s devastating earthquakes. Türkiye and Syria have been offered aid from numerous other countries after the natural disaster caused widespread destruction. US State Department spokesperson Ned Price told reporters on Monday that Washington is “a partner to the people of Syria” but claimed it would be “ironic, if not even counterproductive, for us to reach out to a government that has brutalized its people over the course of a dozen years now.” Instead, Price insisted that the US has “humanitarian partners on the ground who can provide the type of assistance in the aftermath of these tragic earthquakes.” He also argued that Washington has provided “more humanitarian assistance to the people of Syria than any other country going forward.” https://www.rt.com/news/571113-us-syria-earthquake-talks/

At the moment, it seems there is only the small and narrow road O0506 from Chasiv Yar via Chromove and the railroad also from Chasiv Yar via the great crossroads at Yagidne close to the road M03, that can be used to supply Bakhmut and to withdraw the Ukrainian troops.

They have good coordination between artillery, tracked armored fighting vehicles and infantry. Obviously, their communication systems are still operational. And because they can not win in direct duels with russian artillery they decided to fight close to the enemy almost to hug him.

It was at Stalingrad that Chuikov developed the important tactic of “hugging the enemy,” by which under-armed Soviet soldiers kept the German army so close to them as to minimize the superior firepower enjoyed by the Wehrmacht. Chuikov had witnessed firsthand the blitzkrieg tactics the Nazis had used to sweep across the Russian steppe, so he used the Germans' carpet-bombing of the city to draw panzer units into the rubble and chaos, where their progress was impeded. Here they could be destroyed with Molotov cocktails and Russian artillery operating at close range. This tactic also rendered the German Luftwaffe ineffective, since Stuka dive-bombers could not attack Red Army positions without endangering their own forces. https://military-history.fandom.com/wiki/Vasily_Chuikov

This is ukraine OP center. Coordination is very important in that type of battles.

It only depends on how much supplies they have left. And considering latest reports, ammunition is in short supply. In this report, it is obvious that they do not have sufficient supplies of rockets to fully use grads
