🇺🇦⚡War to the last Ukrainian is now official

The Ukrainian General Staff confirmed the ban for men of military age to travel outside their hometown/settlement without good reason.

This measure is being taken in order to reduce the number of evaders from the next wave of mobilization in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Old news apparently. From 2020.

"Every law requires an authority who watches and regulates its execution; but this power is lacking in the observance of international agreements. Acknowledgment of established rules does not secure adherence to these rules.
By the same token, no paragraph learned by heart will convince the soldier that he must see a lawful enemy in the unorganized populace which resorts to force of arms on its own initiative and from which his life is not secure for a moment, day or night.
Thus, not much weight should be attached to international agreements. What third power will resort to arms solely because one or the other of two belligerents has violated the laws of warfare? There is no earthly tribunal. Success is to be expected from the religious and moral education of the individual. It also stems from the sense of honor and justice of the leaders. They lay down the law and act accordingly as far as possible under the abnormal conditions of war, where everything must be considered individually."

The FSB detained two local residents in Kherson suspected of attempting to kill an official of the new administration.

We are talking about a terrorist attack against the head of the USIN in the Kherson region, whose car was blown up.

Putin accused "the collective West" of unleashing a "war" in Ukraine and said Russia's intervention in the pro-Western country marked the beginning of a shift to a "multi-polar world."

"This process cannot be stopped," he added.

He also warned Kyiv and its Western allies that Moscow has not even started its military campaign in Ukraine "in earnest."

"Everyone should know that we have not started in earnest yet," he said.

Putin said most countries did not want to follow the Western model of "totalitarian liberalism" and "hypocritical double standards."

"People in most countries do not want such a life and such a future," he said.

"They are simply tired of kneeling, humiliating themselves in front of those who consider themselves exceptional."

The weird thing about these hit-piece articles which amount to;

“Lol the Russians have a general who’s fat and in his 60’s!”

Is its complete ignorance of European military history wherein fat men in their 60’s directing military campaigns was the norm.

It betrays a staggeringly infantile culture, one in which Otto Von Bismarck would not be taken seriously because he was fat, while he proceeded to check mate you for being a retard.

Bit of a weird take since the guy's a bowling ball. But it's another good example of using memes as propaganda.

Angry depositors gathered outside the People’s Bank of China in the city of Zhengzhou on Sunday demanding their money back, following similar demonstrations in May and June.

Videos circulating online showed hundreds of demonstrators, some of whom were holding banners accusing local officials and police of corruption, being surrounded by police and beaten by identified men wearing white.
