The DAP-6-armed Mojave engaged multiple ground targets in seven strafing runs across two separate sorties on April 13, according to a press release and accompanying video, seen below, that General Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) put out today. At one point in the video, a Chevy pickup truck is seen exploding. The 7.62x51mm rounds that a #Minigun fires are not explosive, but the truck could've been rigged with explosives or fuel inside of it could have ignited.

I couldn't give a damn about his politics or economic theories, but this must be an unprecedented move for Germany, despite of this huge amount of legislation they have for antisemitism.
Which indicates a very clear EU/NATO position to pursue this #war against #Iran which the entire climate indicates for the past 6 months.
Under the premise that the US/UK/EU is already at war, we should expect further #humanrights deterioration by the capitalist war machine

"Here, missiles are treated as global commodities, and warring regimes as clients and business partners. The fair gives an insight into how arms sales to Israel can continue despite the horrific bombardment of Gaza"

Bodies of foreign aid workers killed in Israeli strike leave #Gaza
The strike late on Monday night hit a #convoy of three vehicles and killed seven staff of the aid group World Central Kitchen (WCK), including citizens of #Australia, #Britain, and #Poland, a dual citizen of the United States and #Canada as well as a Palestinian colleague, who was buried at his home.
Why do we suspect that the international press is only upset because Western people have been reddened?
“If #Netanyahu were to order the [#IDF] into #Rafah at scale …& make no provision for #civilians or for #HumanitarianAid, I would vote to condition #aid to #Israel. I’ve never said that before. I’ve never been here before,”Coons said.
…Among the changes #Biden wants to see…are “a dramatic increase in #humanitarian aid getting in, additional crossings opened up, & a reduction in #violence against #civilians.”
#Gaza #war #InternationalHumanitarianLaw #LawsOfWar #HumanRights
In Thur’s call, #Biden “made clear the need for #Israel to announce & implement a series of specific, concrete, & measurable steps to address #civilian harm, #humanitarian suffering, & the safety of #AidWorkers,” acc/to a WH summary of the call. “He made clear that #UnitedStates policy w/respect to #Gaza will be determined by our assessment of Israel’s immediate action on these steps.”

“In the coming HOURS & DAYS, we will be looking for concrete, tangible steps that they’re taking” - WH spox John Kirby
The call between the 2 leaders came 3 days after 7 workers from the José Andrés-run #WCK were killed by an Israeli strike on a clearly marked convoy, igniting outrage in the #UnitedStates & abroad. #POTUS held the call w/ #Netanyahu specifically because of the deadly strikes, Kirby said, adding that #Biden was “shaken” by the attack.
#Israel #Hamas #war #Gaza #Humanitarian
#Biden added that the #UnitedStates expected to see #Israel not just “announcing” changes, but “executing” & “implementing” them.
The WH summary of the Biden - #Netanyahu call added that #POTUS had told the Israeli prime minister that the #humanitarian situation in #Gaza was “unacceptable” & had called for an “immediate #ceasefire.”

I don't know why I still care about this society at all.

Russia destroying big chunks of Ukraine, Israel leveling Gaza, and I bet Trump will become president again. How's China doing? Still enslaving the Uyghurs? Navalny dead?

Trying to stay away from these sort of news, but it is hard to. They are everywhere.
I'll try to reorganize my brain this month and star to film for the new TROM video series. Will see how that works ;).
