Ukranian military recruiters called an ambulance into their office and when medics arrived, the military locked them up and is not releasing them. Ukrainian medic explained what happened!

Other medics arrived in protests and a fight developed. https://t.co/xmfyfGSCgl pic.twitter.com/6zQ3mbtZog

A better explanation of the same incident.

Tragicomic scenes from Odessa. A paramedic is called into the AFU recruitment center. He falls ill but they don't let him leave. More paramedics are called. They are locked inside the recruitment center and not allowed to leave, also to be conscripted. More paramedics arrive totry and get their colleagues out and get into a fight with recruitment center staff.

People have recently been debating "casualty ratios" and things like that again. No one knows the precise numbers, but the fact that a military-aged Russian man can take a leisurely summer stroll through the parks and gardens of any Russian city without fear of being kidnapped, while a Ukrainian man has to dress in his wife's clothes to go to the supermarket, and even paramedics are being press-ganged, should give you an idea.

the rest of the world.

Israel has vowed to persist with its military operation in Gaza, saying it won’t engage in “meaningless” negotiations with Hamas, shortly after the United Nations Security Council overwhelmingly approved a US-backed ceasefire plan intended to bring an end to the eight-month war.

Israel’s representative to the UN, Reut Shapir Ben-Naftaly, emphasized at a UNSC meeting Monday that her country wants to “ensure that Gaza doesn’t pose a threat to Israel in the future.”

The senior diplomat said the war would not end until all hostages were returned and Hamas’ capabilities were “dismantled,” accusing the Palestinian militant group of using “endless negotiations… as a means to stall for time.”

Her comments came after 14 of the 15 UNSC council members voted in favor of Monday’s US-drafted resolution, with only Russia abstaining – the first time the council has endorsed such a plan to end the war. Israel is not a member of the UNSC, and so did not vote.

Hi all, Hey E1,

I always liked the climatalogical summer, as per Farmer's Almanac. Since June, July, and August do best frame 'summer', for much of the country. Yeah astronomical summer starts at solstice, the 'longest day' about three weeks into June. In south Texas summer can start in March!

I send squirrels away here too, but to heaven. In current place, over 300 in 10 years. Lost count. It's uh, nuts. They just keep coming. They are major bird nest predators all summer.

Good on ya fer helpin' the youngins! With the over-inflated tuitions, 50K of credit ain't what it sounds like.

Thanks for the OT~

happy trails all!
