Modern warfare is basically exchanging air strikes. Coordinates are entered into a computer and a button is pushed delivering a bomb. Troops and tanks and ships are easy targets and therefore mostly obsolete. There is no occupying force anymore. Therefore, there is no way to

There is no way to declare victory. Israel has blown up Gaza, but there is no victory. Only rubble and dead people. There is no "surrender" like in the old days. Its just air strikes bombs and blowing things up.

Remember that time Trump tried to overturn the election. Filed all those lawsuits? Was unable to accept defeat? Told his followers to go to the Capitol? Tried to erase Biden from the WH? Tried to erase Kennedy by tearing up the Rose Garden. Putting his name on the Kennedy Center?

By painting Rudolf as a dangerous, volatile, and hostile "husband" who was actively threatening her and her child within the corporate residence, she established the "legal" justification needed to demand a split of his assets. In the sham letter, Rudolf was to say 100-metre away from his house, hotel, and farm for 6 months while the divorce was being "handled." While Rudolf was forced to stay away under threat of arrest for violating a "court order", Valery used that exact 6-month window to quietly liquidate Rudolf assets. In early 2014, Valery secretly processed the transfer of the corporate land titles, Kisumu/Konya/4794 and 5087, out of Rudi Marquardt Electronic Company Limited and registered them into her own personal name. This was done entirely without the knowledge, board resolution, or legal consent of Marquardt, who held the vast majority of the company's shares. She used forged letter to execute these transfers. Once the titles were under her name, she moved rapidly to liquidate the assets before Marquardt could legally block her. According to court documents, in 2014, Valery sold and transferred the properties to three private individuals: John Odindo Ogilo, Oscar Ogilo Odindo, and Staline Yuaya Odindo. Because Marquardt had already been served with the fabricated court order he could not physically access the properties or alert the buyers even when he was around Kisumu. When the restraining order lapsed in May 2014, Rudolf realizes his land had been stolen and sold, and formally launched Environment & Land Case No. 48 of 2014 at the Kisumu High Court to fight the illegal transfers. In Environment & Land Case 48 of 2014, at the court, Valery argued that the initial transfer of the land parcels, Kisumu/Konya/4794 and 5087, from the company into her personal name was a lawful corporate decision. She claimed she was given the properties legally as an active director and shareholder of Rudi Marquardt Electronic Company Limited. Her legal team, alongside the defense of the three Odindo buyers, argued that even if there were internal management disputes between her and Rudolf, the subsequent sale in 2014 was a legitimate transaction. They claimed the Odindos were innocent purchasers for value without notice, meaning they bought the land cleanly from a registered title holder and should not have their deeds canceled. The Environment and Land Court in Kisumu systematically dismantled Valery's claims by looking at the root of the land title and corporate governance laws: The court noted that Rudolf Marquardt held the absolute majority of the shares in the company. The judge ruled that a minority shareholder, Valery, cannot legally pass a resolution to transfer the company's entire asset base to herself or another party without a formal board meeting, a recorded vote, and explicit written consent from the majority shareholder. Because no such corporate authorization existed, Valery could not produce such documents. When the court cross-examined the corporate and land registry records, it established that the signature on the initial transfer forms purporting to show the company's "consent" was completely fraudulent. The judge applied the strict rule of law that "fraud unravels everything." The court ruled that because Valery's original acquisition of the title was fraudulent, the title deed that had her name was null and void from the very beginning (ab initio), and she never legally owned the land. Therefore, she had absolutely no legal right to sell it to the Odindos, stripping the buyers of any "innocent purchaser" protection. That means the "innocent buyers" bought it from a person who had no right to sell it. In its final landmark judgment, the Kisumu Environment and Land Court completely dismantled the entire fraudulent setup.

If you care about the environment, dont vote R. An R vote enables Trump and Burgum to destroy everything. They have already caused massive damage.

The recirculation "feature" in cars is extremely dangerous. It increases risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission immensely in rideshares. The CO2 level itself also promotes drowsiness and cognitive dysfunction, risk factors for accidents. If you have a CO2 monitor, use it while driving with recirc on for 15 mins. You will not be able to unsee the result, and I doubt you will ever do it again.
The age-old question still stands: which car is trying to suffocate you the most? We're on a mission to find out. First one - the EV.

BREAKING MAJOR RESCUE OPERATION UNDERWAY OF THE NORTHWEST OF IRELAND A major search and rescue operation is underway of the northwest coast of Ireland around the center of #stormboelo this evening following distress calls from big Russian tanker carrying diesel. The UK Coastguard is coordinating a response to an Inmarsat-C Distress Alert from vessel MYRA. This potentially one of the Russian ships heading to the USA with Diesel . I hope there is no leaks as it would be a environmental disaster. The Irish air corps and Coastguard don't have the capabilities to provide cover due to the range the tanker is out 𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟 & 𝗦𝗔𝗥 𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 Given the extreme distance from mainland coastal stations (beyond typical shore-based rotary SAR operational radius without offshore refueling) and current sea states, direct surface intervention by coastal rescue craft is technically constrained. Standard Search and Rescue protocol in this scenario relies on:Alerting nearby commercial traffic via GMDSS broadcast.Deploying long-range fixed-wing maritime patrol aircraft (such as RAF P-8A Poseidon) for top-cover monitoring and communications relay if required. This rescue operation is ongoing as off 20:57 #SAR #Mayday #Coastguard #storm #weather #ireland #uk

A distress alert from tanker MYRA led UK Coastguard to alert nearby vessels for assistance but no major rescue was underway; the ship continued sailing and trackers reported it in ballast (empty), not carrying diesel, en route to Egypt. theins.ru/news/298705 vesselfinder.com/vessels/detail… vesseltracker.com/en/Ships/Myra-

Trump is giving Putin parts of Alaska for LNG. This is absolute treason
Trump’s sideline Russian hustle falls apart. 🇺🇸‼️ The top management of a US $25 billion gas project in Alaska has resigned amid suspicions that the project is secretly controlled by Russia. The former CEO of Polar Train LNG said that the export terminal is actually financed and controlled by Russia’s Novatek without Washington’s permission. At first, he believed that the money was provided by investor, who is associated with the Trump family, but it turned out that the financing came from Novatek. Russia’s Novatek has been under US sanctions since 2014, and its Arctic LNG 2 project was added to the list in 2023. According to the FT, a swap is being discussed in negotiations with Moscow: Novatek helps with Alaska, and the US lifts sanctions on Arctic LNG 2.
