Absolutely remarkable footage. This is the precise, surgical action of the same army that pro-Hamas terrorism supporters pretend is undertaking an indiscriminate "genocide."

What you should take away from this is that genocide is what the Hamas supporters would do if the positions were reversed. It's a confession of what they would do, not a legitimate accusation of what is happening.

The former ADF lawyer sentenced to six years in prison for exposing war crimes in Afghanistan plans to appeal, if he can raise sufficient funds.

Polish Defense Spending to Hit 4.7% of GDP by 2025 | Gen. Jarosław Kraszewski

Poland's largest defense expo is underway in Kielce, with over 750 companies displaying cutting-edge military technology. Notably, Poland is increasing its defense budget to 4.7% of its GDP by next year. Amid the signing of major contracts, including an airport protection system from a Spanish firm, there’s also a push to develop domestic production, such as a planned ammunition factory. Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz has also emphasized the need for "precise" contracts, including ongoing negotiations for more K2 tanks from South Korea. General Jarosław Kraszewski, former Director of the Armed Forces Supervision Department at the Polish National Security Bureau, joined us today on TVP World to discuss these developments.

P.S. The Poles have made a very correct decision! Glad to hear: "Poland is increasing its defence budget to 4.7% of its GDP". Considering the high level of political corruption in the West and the extent to which Russian spies and agents of influence have infiltrated Western societies, Western security "guarantees" and "international laws" cannot be relied upon at all: 1) The Russian imperialists would never have started the war against Ukraine if Western capital, specifically German, French, Dutch, American and all other businessmen, had not invested huge funds in the Russian economy and in the restoration of the Russian military potential (the Russians obtained the military technology they lacked, both directly and indirectly, the West donated for the Russians possibility to steal Western military technology secrets without hindrance); 2) The West significantly reduced the military potential of Western European countries and CATEGORICALLY REFUSED TO INCREASE the defense of Eastern Europe and the Baltic regions at leas since 2006. Even when the Russian invasion of Georgia began in Europe in August 2008, the West pretended that nothing was happening...;

Even more, Western politicians started pushing the idea that NATO is no longer needed, the Western fiasco in Syria, and the West went so far in an absurd situation that they even started talking about giving the Russians a "sphere of influence" in Europe...it must be allowed to attack Ukraine and the Baltic States without hindrance. A. Merkel's German policy in relations with Russia was a particularly big shame for Western politicians, and of course the political circus organized by Donald Trump in America.... It is such a shame that there are no words to describe it... Of course, the Kremlin and Beijing saw all this activity of the Western useful idiots very well... the Russian army, together with Iran, entered Syria without interference, continued attacks in Ukraine, Beijing is becoming more and more aggressive, and this is only thanks to the useful idiots of the West, who have betrayed absolutely all the West's civilization values....

Learning that Frank Zappa turned out that way because his defense contractor dad would let him play with used lab equipment covered in mercury and radiation is wild lol

So I decided to name the six pillars and make headcanons for them, so:

Economic/Sunda

•Loves numbers

•Loves to do complicated math problems even more

•Balances everything around mathematical equations

•Loves to stargaze and predict different astronomical positions of celestial bodies

•Can't read maps

•Can't draw

•Loves classical music (particularly 'Four Seasons')

•Is a marketing executive

•He makes double of what Esse makes (since he keeps murdering his patients)

Digital/Mendax

•Loves gaming

•Is also a hacker

•Loves programming games too

•Oh and he's also a white-hat hacker

•He loves coding too (no surprise)

•Unless you've gained his trust, or proved yourself to be a trustworthy and reliable comrade, 99% of what he tells you are lies

•He doesn't even care if the lies end up killing you

Social/Laju

•She loves socialising (no shit)

•She cares a lot for her 'friends'

•But really she secretly manipulates them into doing her submission

•But she does it very subtly over the course of a really long time

•And she likes to observe her friends more

•And slowly change them into good people

•But manipulating prevents her from observing their true nature so she doesn't like it

•She would never do that to any of the other pillars tho

•Oh and she's a dog person, and argues with Sicarius all the time about whether cats or dogs are better

Civil/Sicarius

•Really loves animals

•Oh and drawing too

•Likes drawing animals

•And humans with animal features too

•She once tried taking the form of a half-human-half-animal creature but the humans kidnapped her to do experiments so she decided never to do that again

•Argues with Laju all the time about whether cats or dogs are better

Military/Pertama

•Chose to take the form of a middle-aged man cos he looks more 'macho and senior' that way

•Is one of the top secret byt very powerful people in the army

•He does all the dirty and hands-on work (hunting down criminals, torturing for information, etc)

•But what he does (that he actually shows people) is nothing compared to the other pillars

•He actually has a sweet tooth and loves sweet and fluffy stuff but because he wants to appear macho to his colleagues, he always eats the most bitter stuff

Psychological/Esse

•Is a therapist

•Is actually a murder therapist

•Likes to drive his patients to suicide

•Then drink all the blood fresh from the dead body

•He's also a masochist

•Loves manipulating people

•Loves observing human behaviour even more

•He displays part of his patients in his room like some sort of collectible champion

So that's all! Idk if you're as crazy as me and are really raging-simping for the six pillars right now you can request a fic or something idk

The funny thing about a TFP Humanformers AU is that if you’re changing the bots to humans, that leave the question of if the humans are bots or the humans are not, because if the Autobot Decepticon faction division still exists and the war is ongoing you’d kinda just… be left with random robot children that got involved somehow.

I mean, cybertronian Fowler makes sense given he’s a military man and primary human liaison for the Autobots already, flipping him around potentially means that he’s a military ranked bot hiding on Earth under the protection of the Autobots. The cybertronian version of MECH too makes sense as the ‘Decepticons’ of this switched universe, probably being Shockwave wannabes and dissecting human cadavers or vivisecting live subjects in the pursuit of alien interests; stereotypical alien behaviour according to Earth media. Heck, robo Fowler and mecha Silas can have PERSONAL beef or at least a history of knowing each other to the point that the Autobots are warned of a more insidious alien curiousity.

But the kids being on Earth is like… harder? Aside from explaining why they’re on a completely different planet (if it even IS based on Earth) you also gotta consider the gimmick that these kids get themselves into danger mostly thanks to the headstrong enthusiast and overeager Miko dragging the others along, and idk about you but if I saw a giant robot kid come across a fresh battlefield and say anything remotely positive about it, I’d probably just give up and turn the other direction.
