Serbs set up new barricades in Mitrovica, Kosovo, a Sputnik correspondent reports. Roadblocks made up of several trucks loaded with stones and sand were installed at night in the northern part of Mitrovica.
Since early December, Serbs in the self-proclaimed Kosovo have set up multiple roadblocks in and around Mitrovica and exchanged fire with police after an ex-Serb policeman was arrested for allegedly assaulting serving police officers during a previous protest.
The Serbs have demanded that the officer and other compatriots be released and that the Kosovo police special forces withdraw from the north of the province

❓🍬Where is the Food, Lebowski?
Pakistan's PM was interrupted by a desperately hungry man who demanded snacks be served right away.
However, Shehbaz Sharif remained composed and responded with a sense of humor, saying "Please sit down, the food will be served soon."
Was the food finally served? The story doesn't tell.

US aid to Ukraine is not charity, but “theft at gunpoint,” said says Don Debar, host of the Weekday World show on Radio Justice LA.
💬 “Charity does not involve coercion. You have the coercive police powers of the state taxing the American people. And we're talking about some real money here. Yesterday, they announced that 45 billion that we added to the NDAA is actually earmarked for Ukraine. So there is another 45 billion that definitely takes it up over $100 billion just since February to this country of 40 million or fewer people. I didn't vote for that. I don't think anyone on the planet voted for that. But it's happening, and there's absolutely no stake in it for us other than a strong possibility of a global war,” Debar added.

On Saturday, Paris demonstrated the 'humane' and 'democratic' way to disperse a protest - by firing teargas and beating protesters with batons. These methods have not escaped the attention of Iranian officials maligned by France.
