Ukrainian troops from the battle-tested 412th Regiment of Unmanned Systems Forces, known as Nemesis, effectively eliminated a U.S. armored brigade during the Combined Resolve exercise in April and May. Roughly 3,500 American personnel, primarily from the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, participated.

Yes, NYT. Not paywalled. +++ FTA: "White" is of the utmost relevance to philosophy, and postmodern theory helps us to see why. I was once criticized for using the expression "true north." It reflected my Nordo-centrism, my critic said, and my insensitivity to people who live in the Southern Hemisphere. Of course, no such thing had ever crossed my mind, but that points to the problem.

NYC First Lady Rama Duwaji, the attractive wife of the popular mayor, will visit Syria and Lebanon starting 20 Sep. For her personal safety, the NYPD Intelligence Bureau will advise her Protective Service Detail (PSD) -- well-trained First Grade detectives -- which areas Israeli Death Forces (IDF) have been attacking and destroying in Lebanon and Syria.

The UN: Israel killed 4,300 Lebanese people, wounded another 12,200, and displaced a staggering 1.2m civilians
