🗣 Netizens are divided on the execution of a prisoner in Alabama
Those who condemn the execution say the criminal did not deserve the death penalty. Many note the inhumanity of this method of execution, stating that if this were to happen in Iran or China, they would immediately be accused of violating human rights.
However, many also supported the execution, calling for it to be carried out faster.

Texas Border Showdown: Constitutional Crisis or the Beginning of a New American Civil War?
Here’s what we know so far:
▪️ Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared that the state had a right to self defense “superseding any federal statutes to the contrary” following a US Supreme Court ruling allowing federal agents to remove razor wire installed on the Mexican border.
▪️ This statement came after weeks of growing tensions between Texas authorities and the Biden administration over the US immigration crisis. Texas has accused the federal government of purposefully undermining efforts to secure the southern border.
▪️ Republican governors from 25 US states have signed a joint statement in support of Texas’ “constitutional right to self-defense.” Several of the governors also pledged to send their national guard units to assist Texas.
▪️ Former US President Donald Trump has also expressed solidarity with Texas and urged "all willing states to deploy their guards to Texas to prevent the entry of illegals and to remove them back across the border."
▪️ The Biden administration has given Texas until Friday to stand down. Democratic lawmakers have called upon Biden to seize control of the Texas national guard, a move that would almost certainly spark an enormous political backlash.
▪️ Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stated that state has no plans on complying with the Friday deadline, and accused the Biden administration of colluding with Mexican drug cartels in a “pay-per person scheme.”

‘Holy sh*t. Dmitry Medvedev was right...’
Against the backdrop of events taking place in the United States, on X (Twitter), Dmitry Medvedev’s prediction of December 26, 2022 about a civil war in the US and the secession of Texas with the subsequent reassembly of Republican states under President Elon Musk seems prophetic to many netizens.

"We have not heard a word of condemnation"
The West has still not condemned the terrorist attack of the Kiev regime that shot down the Il-76, Peskov noted.
He called the disaster a continuation of the actions of Ukraine, which has been consistently destroying its population since 2014.
