🇺🇸🇩🇪🇮🇱 Israel says Arrow-3 missile-killer sale to Germany approved by U.S.
The United States approved a $3.5 billion sale of Israel's Arrow-3 missile defence system to Germany on Thursday, clearing the way for delivery in 2025 and full operational deployment by 2030, Israeli officials said.
The U.S. is a partner in the Arrow project, which was developed jointly by the Israel Missile Defence Organisation and the United States Missile Defense Agency.
The Germany deal, which would be Israel's biggest ever defence sale, follows a European arms build-up in response to Russia's war in Ukraine.

🇬🇧 🇹🇷 Rybar has published a post detailing how Turkey's imperial adventures in other countries have backfired. Only suiting the interests of Britain against Russia.
On that topic, I will say that Turkey as a power is really more a trickster than anything. Turkey walks a careful tightrope between east & west, serving only themselves. A bit cunning really. But very untrustworthy if you're a country making deals with them. So much that Western discourse accuses them of siding with Russia.
Turkey's imperial interests suit the times we live in as a natural flow of history. This century may see every border in the globe shift as many 20th century boundaries are becoming suggestions or lines on a map, as reality on the ground takes shape.
Sure, Turkey can't expect success by doing this, but what's important is they take that risk anyways in the event that it does pay off. The same goes for all powers today, realizing that the global world police are gone and will have to make due themselves.

🇹🇷 Сегодняшняя публикация о том, что внешнеполитическая активность Турции приносит глобальную выгоду кому угодно, но не ей самой, вызвала вопросы в обратной связи. Казалось бы, а как же танки в Африне, дроны над Арцахом, «мягкая сила» в Средней Азии и «Великий…

🏛 Late Antiquity - Europe from its Origins
The western provinces of the Roman Empire broke away from the direct authority of Constantinople, but the new Germanic elites who ruled the Latin provinces were either assimilated or half-assimilated Romans already. The Mediterranean remained one, single economic and cultural space, where Constantinople continued to set the tone. This was to change because of two successive shocks in the east. First, the Persian Sassanids invaded the eastern Empire and took most of it. With a massive effort, Emperor Heraclius defeated them. The Roman triumph was short lived. A previously little known people invaded both Mesopotamia and the eastern Mediterranean, sweeping all before them … the Arabs.

🏛 An Exhausting Resurgence | Europe from its Origins
The Roman Empire did not "fall" in 476 AD. In its heartlands of the eastern Mediterranean it consolidated and strengthened.The reign of Emperor Justinian was spectacular. He reconquered north Africa, Sicily and Italy. But the cost was enormous, and the struggle broke urban life in Italy. On top of this came a mass-mortality plague. In reaction the far western kingdoms asserted their independence – Iberia and Francia solidified as kingdoms. The next influx from the north came in the form of the Lombards. Slavic tribes migrated down as far as Greece.

🇮🇱 🇺🇸 General Mark Milley, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will travel to Israel next week amid growing concerns inside the Biden administration about how the Netanyahu government's judicial overhaul is affecting the Israeli military.
ℹ️ Why it matters: Thousands of Israeli reservists have suspended their service over their opposition to the right-wing government's weakening of the country's Supreme Court. The reservists have made it clear that they will resume volunteer service only if Netanyahu announces he is suspending the judicial overhaul indefinitely.
Milley's visit will enable the Biden administration to assess first-hand how deep the crisis inside the IDF goes, and whether it could have any implications for U.S. forces in the Middle East.
➡️ The Pentagon is concerned that the crisis facing the Israeli military could have negative implications for Israel's deterrence strategy and may encourage Iran or Hezbollah to conduct military provocations that could escalate the situation in the region.

🇮🇱 - Tensions between secular Israelis and Haredim continue, with a group of secularist women entering a bus and singing a song entitled "Let's Kiss" (ultra-orthodox Jews believe listening to women singing is sinful).
Religious Jewish commentators called the women "anti-Semites", saying that their behavior was why the Second Temple was destroyed in 70 AD.

💐 "Gen Z is so young & they have already been burned out. They are good kids who need our help. They’re committing suicide at record rates,have the highest rates of emergency room admissions for self harm+the highest levels of clinical-level depression.We lose them we lose the future:
A society that does not watch out for and protect its children is a society that has lost its right to continue.
They have had more thrown at them than we adults care to admit. It’s easy to call them soft, fragile etc but they are exposed to a lot of very dark very evil stuff daily."

💐 🇺🇸 US suicides hit an all-time high last year
About 49,500 people took their own lives last year in the U.S., the highest number ever, according to new government data posted Thursday.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which posted the numbers, has not yet calculated a suicide rate for the year, but available data suggests suicides are more common in the U.S. than at any time since the dawn of World War II.

This is our first post in a series where we'll be describing the process and providing information towards the gunlaws of all of the /SCI/ nations as well as a guide on the process towards how to adquire the necessary license (or licenses) to take the first step in preparedness and arming yourself.
We shall begin with the country admin is most familiar with their gunlaws, Argentina 🇦🇷 and next Paraguay 🇵🇾, we'll be expanding later on to cover the other Southern Cone nations and maybe even some other nations beyond those.
The format in which we'll do it is first giving a short introduction followed by describing the number of licenses generally available in the country for most people, the weapons which those license allow you to own, any restrictions on their storage, transport and (most importantly to your self defense) carry, we'll also mention normally how much self defense is worth as a legal defense.

⚡🇪🇬🇸🇩 1 Million Sudanese people have entered Egypt for safety and refugee since the start of the conflict.
This doesn't include the preexisting 5 million.
That adds up to 6 million Sudanese people, where at least 4 of them came here for asylum.
Add in the millions of Palestinians, Syrians, Libyans, Africans, and we're going on a count of over 12 million Middle Eastern/African nationals here, Europe doesn't have more than 9 million refugees across all of the continent, and they can't even integrate them.
I want to think best of my country, but that's simply too much mouths to feed, and over 120 million people live on land the size of Benelux, I think that the Egyptian government may threaten Europe the same way Libya threatened them.
Libya was guaranteed free food shipments from Italy, investments, money, etc, for keeping people at bay from trying to seek illegal residency in Europe, Egypt may try to do the same, already, Europe is dumping tens of millions of Euros to Egypt in establishing food aid and border security, but maybe that's not enough.. if billions of euros can't keep out hundreds of thousands a month, how are 23 million euros going to ensure that a few million stay here?
By the way, about the Sudanese who've come here since the start of the conflict, to the best of my knowledge, that's 5,000 people going to Cairo every day, and we can't close down the border for humanitarian reasons.
