This is what @MichealMartinTD and @simoncoveney are supporting in #Ukriane

▪️(1) The summary execution of surrendered, unarmed and defenceless soldiers. This is what @vonderleyen tells us #European values are. This is what you are paying for. Welcome to the new Europe.▪️(2) Will @rtenews be reporting on this brutal massacre of defenceless prisoners of war? Will @BBCNews be condemning this? How about @CNN? It’s likely this massacre like many others will be ignored like…

SUMMARY: In the dying days of WWII, a battalion of Russian soldiers is lured into the secret lab of a deranged scientist and forced to face off against an army of horrific flesh-and-metal war machines.

Mod Sus HAD to watch this movie after it was requested and they saw the monster designs, they are so sick and cool and awesome. The movie could benefit from having any likable characters, though.

I might’ve had writers block for Part 2 ,but the ritual is underway

Even my cat sitting nice and pretty while listening to the Doomstar soundtracks…at least after realizing that he shouldn’t try to knock shit over while there’s open flames anyway

Also link to the music I’ve been using the whole time. Even if you pull back the curtain for the whole placebo effect of it all, it’s pretty relaxing.

Robin Riding On The Cannon

I drew a Misha/Heavy's European Robin known as Red Army Robin that stood on the cannon and named him Ivan, I also redesigned this bird’s appearance and made him an inch of twelve size of a pigeon. I tried my best to draw the background of Badlands in New Mexico and thought that it would be good for me to the background.

What do you think of my artwork, Red Army Robin’s new design, and Badlands background?

What do you think Heavy’s Red Army Robin’s name going to be?

Bonus Of Short Story~!

Misha, the Heavy Weapon Guy, was taking a stroll in the Badlands not too far from the RED base after having a headache when his teammates were arguing about the reason. While Ludwig, the Medic, was doing the examination, Jeremy, the Scout, was in his room playing a Pokémon and listening to some pop music from the radio instead of listening to Tom Jones's song.

Heavy begins to enjoy taking a stroll in the Badlands alone and sees the sunset, shining bright full moon, and the stars begin to appear in the night sky. Even his headaches were about to fade away.

Suddenly, Misha was stopped and shocked as he saw his Red Army Robin with a battle-mode expression riding on the cannon on the right side of himself without noticing him, “Ivan…?” he mumbled, standing here, and watching his European Robin riding away on the cannon.

Then out of nowhere, a white dove and a Skycutter pigeon fly after his Red Army Robin riding on the cannon, and then Heavy realizes something.

“Heavy wonder how did my Robin get cannon? That makes Heavy so confused right now.” He walks to return to the RED base shortly after.

fun fact about the rouge one shot

commander douhet is named after giulio douhet, an italian general during WWI who was arrested for criticizing his superiors because he believed they weren't using their air force to its full potential. he advocated strongly for using bombers on enemy cities to break stalemates as well as the will of their populations. at the time period, he was one of the first to advocate for strategic bombing campaigns on cities.

it is worth noting that the difference between "civilian" and "military" casualties only came into existence in the post-WWII era. until that period, european military leaders did not distinguish between the two groups since civilians were often just as involved in the war effort (they farmed the food that was sent in soldiers' rations kits, manufactured their weapons and munitions, etc) and also because they didn't really care lol. i have actually read excerpts from douhet's power of the air wherein he literally advocates for bombing civilian centres. his theory correctly predicted many of the bombing campaigns seen in WWII, such as the bombing of dresden (in which the british dropped so much artillery on the city of dresden that its river literally dried up from the heat) and the us fire bombing of tokyo. ironically enough, the us army actually expressed a bit of moral outrage over britain's campaign in dresden, since the us army's modus operandi at the time was to conduct daytime strikes on industrial targets rather than urban ones, but this attitude clearly did not hold out by the time they were focused on defeating japan lmao.

anyways, douhet was ahead of his time military-strategy wise and died before WWII began, which i can honestly only compare to van gogh dying before any of his works became famous. i would call this a tragedy (jokingly) but the last thing anyone needed was for this guy to be in charge of the italian air force during WWII so its probably good that he checked out early

Red Army Faction member arrested in Germany after decades on the run

A former member of the left-wing militant group Red Army Faction has been arrested after more than 30 years on the run, German authorities said on Tuesday.

The Bild newspaper, citing unnamed security sources, reported that 65-year-old Daniela Klette was arrested in Berlin on Monday night.

Klette is one of three former members of the Red Army Faction who have been wanted by police for several years. Klette, Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg were involved in at least 12 robberies in northern Germany between 1999 and 2016. They were also wanted for attempted murder. Authorities speculate that the motive behind the robberies was money rather than any political considerations.

You ever watch a movie that has the potential to make one of the most ground-breaking anti-war & anti-american imperialism/exceptionalism statements and then it just... doesn't. And you want to start screaming at the writers because they took a unique, groundbreaking idea and tossed it into the bin in order to end up writing yet another "US military saves the day from the Bad Eastern Europeans!" mediocre 1 hour and 50 minutes.

Anyway, that was my experience with Netflix's 'Spectral' in a nutshell.
