"... 
Active Denial System - is a non-lethal directed-energy weapon developed by the U.S. military,[2] designed for area denial, perimeter security and crowd control.[3] Informally, the weapon is also called the heat ray[4] since it works by heating the surface of targets, such as the skin of targeted human beings. Raytheon had marketed a reduced-range version of this technology...The ADS works by firing a high-powered (100 kW output power)[13] beam of 95 GHz waves at a target, which corresponds to a wavelength of 3.2 mm 
... "

Stop lecturing me, we had already discussed these things here in Germany over 20 years ago, at that time mainly technologies for counterinsurgency. I realize that you know everything, and most importantly, you know everything better than the rest of the world. You are just the typical "Teacher, I know something" nerd. 

I don't need your boring answers, which you have to pick up especially in order to seem smart.

India is as untrustworthy as Turkey. spit.

if I know it... Putin knows it/so does Xi... yet they must navigate through it.
I couldn't do it.

he compliments the S. Africans on their perceptions and self control.

Completely baffled

Tucker did a pretty good job here. And Macgregor explained the situation quite eloquently.

Tucker on Twitter Ep. 18 just dropped:

"Into the abyss: Colonel Douglas Macgregor tells us why the Ukraine war must end now."

The rotting corpse that is American democracy

"The bottom line is that Donald Trump both “engaged in” “insurrection or rebellion” and gave “aid or comfort” to others engaging in such conduct,
within the original meaning of those terms as employed in Section Three of the Fourteenth Amendment.
If the public record is accurate, the case is not even close.
He is no longer eligible to the office of Presidency, or any other state or federal office covered by the Constitution."

They hate it that he will be with Tucker. Tucker Carlson will interview Trump on X during the debate.

The country’s diaspora have staged events marking the 30th anniversary of Eritrea’s independence.
But groups pushing for regime change in Asmara have targeted them.

We spoke with an Eritrean lawyer who told us about their links to America’s National Endowment for Democracy.

Christ it's not THAT bad But if the loo roll is part of a (cheapest) 9-pack, then that little lot at the end will probably come to about eleven quid. Bad enough. Prices have roughly doubled.

I'm glad I smoke roll-ups these days. 20 B&H cost £1.50 in 1988, now looking at about £8 a pack. I don't see how anybody could afford tailor-mades any more.

Poland. On the Eve of War | Documentary | OWT

Unfortunately only in German, but a good insight into the role of Poland. Poland has not acted much less criminally than Germany. What they seem to be particularly good at is presenting themselves as an innocent victim afterwards. 



======================

mr badgers post is relevant...
she is from Poland/Warsaw and is warning of Duda's criminal approach to imposing disguised unilateral 'laws' to militarize domestic police policies.
i'm sure it is at the dictat of his masters in Washington.... same as Olaf... they lick the boot and betray their people.

The African Union (AU) has suspended Niger from all its activities
following a military coup on July 26, it said in a statement released on Tuesday,
reiterating calls for the coup leaders to release elected President Mohamed Bazoum
and return to their barracks.

The AU Peace and Security Council has taken note
of West African bloc ECOWAS' decision to activate a standby force for a possible military intervention
and asked the AU Commission to assess the economic, social, and security implications of deploying such a force.

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has said it is prepared to send troops into Niger
if diplomatic efforts to restore democracy fail.

The AU called on all of its member states and the international community
to refrain from any action that could legitimise Niger's Military Administration,
and said it strongly rejected interference from any actor or country outside of Africa.

As they arrive in Ukraine over the next six months, the nimble supersonic jets
could replace half of the Ukrainian air force’s existing arsenal of 40- and 50-year-old MiG and Sukhoi fighters and bombers.
Alternatively, the air force could grow its front-line fleet by half, flying the 61 F-16s alongside approximately 125 old Soviet-made planes.

Either way, it’s what the American-designed F-16s can carry
that matters the most as Russia’s wider war on Ukraine grinds into its 19th month:
modern air-to-air and air-to-surface missiles plus precision-guided bombs
—all of which extend the striking range of Ukrainian warplanes,
allowing them to pluck at Russian positions deep in occupied territory
without exposing Kiev’s pilots to the most dangerous Russian air-defenses.

Ukraine already has received from its foreign allies a wide array of modern munitions.
Technicians have modified the Ukrainian air force’s Mikoyan MiG-29 and Sukhoi Su-27 fighters
and Sukhoi Su-24 bombers to carry these munitions—and they could arm the air force’s ex-Danish and ex-Dutch F-16s, too.
As a bonus, the F-16 can access all of the munitions’ best features, which the old ex-Soviet planes can’t always do.

But the missile that might make the most difference, the JASSM
the Lockheed Martin Joint Air-to-Surface Strike Missile—a two-ton stealthy cruise missile with a 230-mile range—still is on Kiev’s wish list.


Unless and until the United States approves the JASSM for transfer to Ukraine, Ukrainian F-16s will fly short of their full potential.

Russian rapper and businessman Timati said he was ready to buy Domino's Pizza and rebrand it.
Previously, together with restaurateur Anton Pinsky, he purchased and relaunched the Starbucks chain under the new name Stars Coffee.
Domino's Pizza announced the suspension of investments in Russia in March last year, and initiated the bankruptcy of the Russian part of the business.
