Reply to Biden official says there’s no evidence that Ukraine is misusing US assistance by fghfghhh

Oh well if the federal government says it's all good we're set! lol

Billions of dollars went unaccounted for in our occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, billions will disappear in Ukraine. It's just the cost of doing business.

Ukraine especially (along with much of eastern Europe) has a history of HUGE corruption, all former Soviet bloc states do. To pretend they're magically boyscouts is ridiculous.

You can support Ukraine, but please recognize that statement is pure BS

Reply to comment by maldobar4711 in Boris Johnson calls on UK to 'break the ice' by sending fighter jets to Ukraine - and warns China against 'historic mistake' by R1ckCrypto

Brexit was put to a referendum by David Cameron, and voted for by the British public. David Cameron then stepped down. While the referendum did not represent a binding mandate, subsequent leaders faced a choice between fulfilling the will of the public, and fulfilling the will of suspiciously one-sided social media platforms.

Reply to Cambodia reports 2nd human case of H5N1 bird flu by F16KILLER

Okay so based on the article the “good news” is that the second patient is the father of patient zero that passed away meaning they were in close proximity to each other and not some rando from across town. Additionally the outbreak is in a “village” which hopefully limits its potential pathways to spread beyond. Finally the local health authorities as well as the WHO are aware of it. Here’s hoping the 2020s finally catches a break.

Reply to Military justice investigates Swiss fighters in Ukraine by BezugssystemCH1903

The Swiss military justice has opened several criminal proceedings against Swiss nationals in connection with the war in Ukraine. The people concerned are suspected of having taken part in the conflict as volunteer fighters or mercenaries.

Seven proceedings are currently underway, a spokesman for the Office of the Attorney General told the Swiss News Agency Keystone-SDA on Thursday, thus confirming a report in newspaper Blick.

All seven proceedings were reportedly initiated after the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine a year ago. They concern the suspicion of performing foreign military service.

Under Swiss military criminal law, foreign service – such as being a mercenary – can be punished with a prison sentence of up to three years or a fine. However, it is uncertain whether the proceedings will ever be concluded. Investigations are very difficult in the case of a country at war, according to the military justice.

Another hurdle is that the people concerned must be granted the right to be heard, said spokesman Florian Menzi. “Somehow, a person must be able to defend themself.” If the suspects do not return to Switzerland or at least the EU, it will be difficult, he said.

Even before the Russian invasion in February 2022, the military justice system had initiated three proceedings in connection with Ukraine. A young man from Ticino was fined and given an additional conditional fine. He had joined pro-Russian separatists in the Donetsk region in 2015. Another case was dropped; one is pending.

Reply to comment by onegunzo in Turkey’s media watchdog fined three broadcasters on Wednesday for their coverage of the earthquake that rocked the country’s south, killing more than 42,000 people by masterspeler

The news channels told the truth. He 'disappeared' billions in Earthquake Tax paid after that 1999 disaster, which was supposed to reinforce the infrastructure.

Blood on their hands, and they go after the media. Spineless
