Russians are looking for someone to blame

Published

on

Russia recently voted to annex four Ukrainian provinces in an attempt to gain more control. However, Ukraine is not paying any attention.

In the past week, tensions have been high as Russia makes attempts to take over four different Ukrainian provinces.

This past Tuesday, Russia’s lower house rubber-stamped Vladimir Putin’s proposal to annex the provinces.

The vote was unanimous among the deputies who rose to their feet and applauded.

Just 48 hours before the vote, Ukrainian tanks had already rolled into Lyman- a strategic hub in the eastern province of Donetsk.

The same evening, six different Ukrainian battalions pierced enemy lines in north-east Kherson.

This caused quite a stir on social media, as Russian soldiers began making SOS appeals for emergency aviation support.

By the time help arrived, the Ukrainians were already at least 12 miles behind enemy lines.

Not without a fight

This aggressive move by Ukraine shows that they are not willing to give up without a fight. As of now, it is unclear what Putin and Russia will do next.

The recent events unfolding in Ukraine are worrying, to say the least.

It is clear that Russia is not backing down from their attempts to take over additional territory.

Ukraine seems to be ready and willing to fight for their land, but it remains to be seen if they will be successful in holding off Russia’s advances.

Dramatic scenes in Israel as protestors take to the streets demanding a controversial judicial reform plan be scrapped

Dramatic scenes are unfolding in Israel following news the nation’s leader Benjamin Netanyahu has fired his defence minister.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant on Sunday after Gallant called for a halt to a controversial judicial reform plan.

Gallant, a lawmaker from Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party, broke ranks on Saturday by publicly urging Netanyahu to suspend the legislation.

He said, “The growing rift in our society is penetrating the Israel Defense Forces and security agencies. This poses a clear, immediate, and tangible threat to the security of the state. I will not allow this.”

His dismissal marks the largest public fracture in Netanyahu’s coalition government over the proposed reforms that have sparked mass protests and even dissent from some in the nation’s revered military.

Others in Netanyahu’s party have begun to waver: A top lawmaker echoed the defense chief’s call to pause the contested judicial overhaul on Sunday.

Dissent from the premier’s own party and cabinet has compounded months of unprecedented mass protests by Israelis who fear the package of reforms could endanger court independence.

Netanyahu, who is on trial on graft charges that he denies, says the overhaul will balance out the branches of government.

A key bill effectively giving his religious-nationalist coalition more control over the appointment of judges is expected to be brought for ratification this week in the Knesset, where he and his allies wield 64 out of 120 seats.

But how – or even if – that as-yet-unscheduled vote will proceed has been thrown into question by Likud dissenters. #trending #featured

A scary situation for those passengers onboard Delta Air Flight 1714 after a passenger activated one of the aircraft’s emergency slides.

The incident on the Delta flight took place around 10:40 a.m. local time on Saturday, while the plane was stationary at LA’s international airport.

The Boeing 737 was on the runway holding to taxi for takeoff when the passenger exited the aircraft.

The individual was initially detained by Delta staff before being arrested by local law enforcement.
