Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz on Trump’s Georgia indictments:
“First of all, nobody should take seriously that there was grand jury indictment. The fact that it was a grand jury indictment, it means nothing. It's the prosecutor who indicted. The best evidence of that is that it was on his website before the grand jury even voted. Now, the whole strategy of all these four cases is to get a conviction before the election, even if they're going to lose on appeal.
I used to teach my students, many of them future prosecutors, if you bring a Rico case, that increases your chances of winning a trial and losing on appeal. The same thing is true with conspiracy and other cases involving mental states. And so all four of these cases are designed to get quick convictions in jurisdictions that are heavily loaded against Donald Trump.
And these prosecutors don't care as much as prosecutors generally do about having the convictions reversed on appeal, because that will happen after the election, which only goes to prove what I've been arguing now for months. If you're going after the man who's runningagainst your incumbent president, you had darn well better have the strongest case possible. And these are among the four, at least three of them, three weakest cases I’ve ever seen against any candidate. We don't know about the fourth, but it seems like it's very much like the DC case.
And if you're going after the man running for president against your person, you have to have the strongest case. Otherwise, it becomes a banana republic. Anybody can prosecute anybody. And we're opening the door to prosecution of Democrats by Republicans, Republicans by Democrats. It's what Alexander Hamilton wrote in The Federalist is the most dangerous threat to democracy, and we're seeing it unfold in front of our eyes. Very, very tragically.
I'm not a Republican, I'm not a Trump supporter, but I care deeply about the Constitution. I care deeply about preserving the rule of law. And we're seeing it being fritter away for partisan political purposes.”
Here’s 24 straight minutes of Democrats denying election results Why didn’t Republican DA’s prosecute them?
Grand Jury Foreman. Banana Republic.
Two years ago today, the world watched in horror as this American military plane took off from Afghanistan during President Biden’s disastrous withdrawal, signifying one of the worst foreign policy disasters in American history. Unfortunately, this was just the beginning.
A Ukrainian tank mistakenly targeted a Ukrainian armored vehicle, which led to damage to the armored vehicle and the crew leaving it

The battle for Urozhaynoye continues: the enemy is suffering significant losses
Fighters of the Vostok Battalion are reporting on the situation at the Vremevskiy site, located at the junction of Zaporozhye and the DPR.
"Yesterday, both sides deployed all available resources, and today we have received reinforcements. A brief respite has unintentionally emerged. On the battlefield, sympathy is not a common guest, but witnessing the extent of the damage the enemy sustained in Urozhaynoye left us with indescribable emotions. Although we were short on infantry and equipment, we possessed sufficient means of defense to effectively counter a significant portion of the enemy's efforts to capture the settlement. Urozhaynoe resembled a meat grinder, where living men entered and minced meat emerged. The amount of destroyed and damaged equipment was too numerous to count. An unusual aftermath remained: we ceded Urozhaynoye, yet the damage inflicted was so severe that a part of our consciousness struggles to comprehend the motives of the Ukrainian command. Only those who harbor greater hatred than we do could subject their own forces to such a massacre.

The work of our snipers is effective at extremely short ranges (+18)
The enemy regains control of trenches after artillery strikes, believing that no one is observing.
However, our "Fantoms" see everything and swiftly eliminate threats.

FPV drones are just not fair to infantry
Missiles arriving in Lvov last night.
The Russians have changed the tactics of missile attacks on Ukraine, now the missiles are constantly changing direction, - Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
“They are still planning strikes, programming routes in such a way as to bypass our air defenses as efficiently as possible, using weak points, using intelligence, of course. Well, rockets are constantly changing routes.
If you can see the direction of movement, for example, to the Kiev region, then while the duty officer writes literally three words of the message: “moving towards Kiev”, the rocket is already changing direction, moving in the other direction. Then it changes direction again, and again,” Yu. Ignat, spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said.
