Why I Wrote "The Storm of Steel" - Ernst Jünger
The Evening Chronicle
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.

“All night we talk of this object. How much farther can it be? Beyond the Ganges, that we know. But how distant is that? No guide can tell us. I cannot overstate how this excites me. To stand where no man of the West has stood before! To behold that which none has seen! And forever to be the first!
Do you think me vain or self-inflated? Consider: What has almighty Zeus portioned out for man, save this earth? Heaven He has kept for Himself. But this sphere here, beneath this sky, we mortals may roam with naught to hem us but our own will and imagination.
I can see Earth’s Limit. It shines before my inner eye like a city of crystal, though I know, when I reach there, it will be but a shingly strand beneath an alien sky. No matter. It is Earth’s Ultimate, of which not Heracles or Perseus have dreamt, but only I.
What will I seize when at last I stand upon that shore? Nothing. I shall not even bend to pick up a stone or shell, but only clasp my mates’ hands and gaze with them upon the Eastern Ocean.
That is what I want.
That is all I want.”

Soldiers’ journey from WA to an ancient world
Nothing could possibly have prepared the 1026 men of the WA-raised 11th Battalion for what awaited them after they sailed away from WA in November 1914.
The 11th was the first battalion raised in WA and was also in the first convoy to head for the battlefields.
If any thought they were headed for the European theatre of war, they were sadly mistaken. Instead, they disembarked in Egypt in early December to continue training.
Incredibly, they found themselves not only a world away from home but also in an ancient world.
