Horrific story

Ståndsmässig bil!

#Serbien, Novi Sad. Diese Stadt hat in den letzten beiden Jahren so viel ertragen müssen. Nicht nur das Trauma des Bahnhofsvordachs. Auch die Universität und Schulen standen unter Beschuss. Die Polizeigewalt letzten Sommer war hier besonders brutal. Ich freue mich so sehr für diese Menschen.

Lula valspurtade och besegrade högern i Brasilien 🇧🇷, studenterna vann över Vucics auktoritära högerstyre i Serbien 🇷🇸 och snart är det mellanårsval i USA 🇺🇸… www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/4O...

NEW from me: Last year, Mark Carney set a goal to double Canada's non-US exports by 2035. Today, he's already halfway there In response to Trump's tariffs & threats, Canadian businesses, consumers, & even tourists are taking difficult steps to decouple from the US🧵 www.apricitas.io/p/how-canada...

25 Oct 1812 // 38-gun frigate HMS Macedonian was captured off Madeira by American 44-gun frigate USS United States.

25 Oct 1806 // Gunboat HMS Hannah sighted a large Spanish privateer which was towing a captured British merchantman through the Straits of Gibraltar and gave chase with the aim of recapturing the latter. When the privateer became aware of what was happening she cut the tow and prepared for action.

About ten years ago, I lived in Serbia for a year, teaching German at a Belgrade school. Many of the students from back then have been taking to the streets for years, trying to end corruption and authoritarianism in their country. I deeply hope they’ll be successful in ousting Vučić today.

I don’t think the young people (ie if you’re under 25 you don’t really remember Obama) realize just how electric a speaker he is

One thing we don't talk anout much is that we, as a society, have gotten a LOT richer. No, it doesn't mean billionaires, but billions of people out of extreme poverty.

Prospective SPAAGs arrived at the Kubinka proving grounds #OTD in 1942. Even though the T-90 gave the best results, testers preferred the idea of adapting the T-90 turret to the T-60 chassis to use up leftover hulls. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII
