Ukraine’s female front line soldiers facing a disinformation war – BBC News
Some 5,000 women are currently serving as combat troops in Ukraine, often fighting sexist attitudes within their own ranks.
As the country continues to make small territorial gains, it’s also battling a second front line in the form of Russian propaganda.
Disinformation has been used as a tactic since 2014, when Moscow annexed Crimea, but it has become increasingly targeted, focusing on Ukrainian front line female soldiers in particular.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

this is absurd, mobilizing the entire population into combat is rarely good. People need to stay behind to make bombs, maintenance, and manufacture other military adjacent items. Even with the US/Europe handling the production part, they are crying that they want more bombs… there is a manpower and manufacture power fundamental problem

Syria celebrates return of ancient 4th-century artefact from the UK to its homeland
"The return of the Syrian artifacts was made possible thanks to the joint efforts of the National Museum of Oman, the General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums of Syria and the Russian Hermitage museum"
"This return of a Syrian artifact has a symbolic meaning: the victory of truth over falsehood, of civilization over barbarism"

Why no one shows or gives tribute to men because if you look at the statistics there are 500,000 men on frontlines and only 5000 women . Am not saying that don't show women but by not showing men you are only showing your sexism . Because you are not giving credit to majority of combatants and defenders

Whitman’s Preamble
for those Bravest Ukrainian Soldiers
who lived through the fight
who pressed to the front and fell.
Pensive On Her Dead Ukrainian Heroes
PENSIVE on her dead gazing I heard the Mother of All,
Desperate on the torn bodies, on the forms covering the battle-
fields gazing,
(As the last gun ceased, but the scent of the powder-smoke
linger'd,)
As she call'd to her earth with mournful voice while she stalk'd,
Absorb them well O my earth, she cried, I charge you lose not
my sons, lose not an atom,
And you Ukrainian streams absorb them well taking their dear blood,
And you local spots and you airs that swim above lightly
impalpable,
And all you essences of soil and growth, and you my rivers' depths,
And you mountain sides, and the woods where my dear Ukrainian
children's blood trickling redden'd,
And you trees down in your roots to bequeath to all future trees,
Ukrainian soil absorb my young Ukrainian men's bodies
absorb their precious precious blood,
Which holding in trust for me faithfully back again give me
many a year hence,
In unseen essence and odor of surface and grass, centuries hence,
In blowing airs from the fields back again give me my darlings,
give my immortal Ukrainian heroes,
Exhale me them centuries hence, breathe me their breath, let not
an atom be lost,
O years and graves! O air and soil! O my dead, an aroma sweet!
Exhale them perennial sweet death, years, centuries hence.

December 18, 2023 at 5:08 am
very sad story. I know it sounds sexist to say it but I do not think women should have to fight in battle positions during wars. I know they should be treated equally and all but in this one thing, can't we just allow grace to women and not require them to fight wars? If there are not enough men to fight, then it is time to negotiate for peace. It is bad enough to kill off the fighting age men of a country, why kill off the women too?

Not everything is lost for Nazi regime in Kiev. There is glimmer of hope. Jewish Nazi zelensky should re- start playing piano with his dick which he was doing when he was a travelling clown, with measure of success. If performed at the front, this might amaze and confuse Russian forces and he could win great victory and become Jewish hero who defeated Russian army by playing piano with his dick. Feat equal to jerycho falling to sound of trumpet. So in Jewish fairy tales everything is possible.Though this is not sure recipe for success and successful military campaign nonetheless it is a worthwile to try.
