    Crucial Statement of DPRK Foreign Ministry Pyongyang, October 11 (KCNA) -- The Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on Friday issued the following crucial statement "The trigger for defending sovereignty and security will be pulled up without hesitation":

    The ROK is crossing the red line in its provocation against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

    The most hostile and malicious rogue state, the ROK, committed such a grave political and military provocation as infiltrating drones into Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK.

    Drone infiltrations were conducted by the ROK on October 3 and 9. They were followed by perpetration of such a hideous crime as scattering a huge number of anti-DPRK smear leaflets over the central part of Pyongyang through a midnight drone infiltration on October 10.

    Smear leaflets, run through with inflammatory rumors and rubbish tarnishing the national sovereignty and dignity of the DPRK and malignantly hurting its socialist system, were scattered in the central part of the capital city.

    Not content with scattering leaflets along the border by balloons, the ROK infiltrated even into the sky of the DPRK's capital such drones which can be regarded as military attack means. The case is a serious provocation that can neither be overlooked nor be pardoned.

    Its provocation beyond the limit line constitutes an open infringement on the sacred national sovereignty and security of the DPRK and a wanton violation of the international law and a grave military attack, for which the ROK must pay a dear price.

    The ROK should neither justify the recent case in a trite way nor think of shirking its responsibility by making far-fetched assertions again.

    The case is a typical instance that vividly betrays the national position of the ROK belonging to the most shameless, childish and vulgar category in the world and meanness of its clans.

    It also evidently shows that the danger of armed conflict is created on the Korean peninsula due to the reckless and adventuristic acts of the ROK.

    The international community should strongly denounce the bravado of the ROK, which is steadily escalating the danger of military conflict in the region while unhesitatingly committing provocations hard to sustain their aftermath, and unanimously call for thoroughly deterring them.

    International law does not allow free flight of foreign aircraft or flying objects in the territorial airspace of a country, as well as "harmless flight".

    The recent intrusion into the airspace is a grave crime encroaching upon the sovereignty of the DPRK and a clear target of the exercise of the right to self-defence.

    The ROK chose self-destruction and is hastening its doom.

    In the world, there is no country which will not react to the violation of its airspace and the drones of a hostile country flying over its capital.

    We regard the recent provocation of the ROK as a serious political and military provocation that deserves retaliation according to the right to self-defence, without any further explanation and necessity.

    The recent adventurous provocation of the enemies urgently requires our army to promptly judge what kind of action measure should be taken to discharge its sovereignty-defending mission granted by the DPRK Constitution and make a decision on launching the relevant retaliatory action.

    The Ministry of National Defence, the General Staff and the army at all levels of the DPRK set about the preparations to cope with different occasions of the developing situation.

    First, all the offensive means of the DPRK, to be involved in getting the military structures near the southern border and in the ROK collapsed, will get ready to carry out their activities promptly at any moment.

    The stand expressed by our head of state some days ago that the DPRK has no intention to attack the ROK, does not mean that we are not ready to attack the ROK.

    With the possibility of using all means of attack in readiness, we seriously warn the ROK as an ultimatum again to the last.

    The ROK should immediately stop such irresponsible and dangerous provocation that may cause an armed conflict and lead to a war between the two sides.

    If the ROK commits such a provocation as infiltrating a drone into airspace of the DPRK once again, the DPRK will launch an action immediately without any warning.

    Taking this opportunity, we make it clear once again that the source and cause of all these disasters making the world people uneasy are in the ROK which has scattered political agitation scum into our inviolable territory despite our repeated warnings.

    The ROK, which wantonly violated the inviolable sovereignty of the DPRK, will face a horrible situation if it continues provocations, not bearing in mind this last warning of the DPRK.

    The trigger safety device is now off.

    The time for our attack is not decided by us.

    We will watch everything in full preparedness.

    Criminals should no longer gamble at risk for the lives of their people. -0-

    Lebanese army did almost nothing in the 2006 war. They just let Hezbollah fight since Hezbollah is mainly present in South Lebanon. Hezbollah is about as large as the Lebanese army.

    Rn, they moved back to 5km from the border. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/apartment-building-beirut-hit-israel-widens-air-campaign-2024-09-29/

    Lebanese troops pulled back about five kilometres (3 miles) from positions along Lebanon's southern border with Israel, a Lebanese security source told Reuters. A Lebanese army spokesperson did not confirm or deny the movement.

    And further yapping from the PM (the richest man in Lebanon with net worth of $2.8 billion): https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/lebanon-hold-session-elect-president-after-ceasefire-caretaker-pm-says-2024-09-30/

    BEIRUT, Sept 30 (Reuters) - The Lebanese government is ready to fully implement a UN resolution that had aimed to end Hezbollah's armed presence south of the Litani River as part of an agreement to stop war with Israel, caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said. Mikati said Lebanon was ready to fully implement UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and deploy the army south of the river, which lies about 30 km (around 20 miles) from Lebanon's southern border. Mikati also said he and House Speaker Nabih Berri had agreed that electing a new president to end a near two-year vacancy at the top post would only happen after a ceasefire took hold, in comments delivered after the pair met in Beirut.

    "We in Lebanon are ready to implement 1701, and immediately upon the implementation of the ceasefire, Lebanon is ready to send the Lebanese army to the area south of the Litani River and to carry out its full duties," in coordination with UN peacemakers, Mikati said. He said parliament would then convene to elect a consensus president. UNSC 1701 ended the month-long 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel and called for a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and that the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers be the only armed force south of the Litani River.

    Dual-citizenship between Russia and Ukriane isn't a thing. Everyone in Russian-controlled territory has Russian passports now. Since July 1st 2024, those still holding Ukrainian passports are considered foreign nationals and at risk of deportation.

    You can hold voting for a referendum? But no presidential election? Contradictory but whatever. Furthermore Zelensky said that Russia should be invited to the next peace summit in November. No way he'll negotiate sensibly and it will still be for Ukraine's PR. >The majority of the world today says that Russia must be represented at the second summit, otherwise we will not achieve meaningful results,” he said, adding “since the whole world wants them to be at the table, we cannot be against it.” https://www.rt.com/russia/601950-ukraine-russia-peace-talks-zelensky/ Clownsky's just adjusting his tone to retain the western audience imo.

    Nope, it is meant as a way to label pro-Western LGBT organizations as extremist so they can be prosecuted for their propaganda. Homosexuality is still legal in Russia.

    https://www.rt.com/russia/588339-russian-lgbt-ban-explained/

    Legal experts appear to be split on the potential consequences of the Supreme Court ruling, with some believing it will have no impact on the lives of sexual minorities. The designation was not related to sexual orientation per se, but to actual extremists and a “hostile organization, using them as its agenda,” lawyer Dmitry Agranovsky told RIA Novosti.

    “This decision will not affect people’s lives. LGBT people have never been persecuted in Russia on these grounds, and there is no indication that they will be persecuted,” Agranovsky stated.

    A similar opinion was expressed by attorney Aleksey Mikhalchik in an interview with RAPSI, a news agency focused on legal and court news. He said the ruling was likely to affect those participating in extremism-related activities and self-identifying as a pro-LGBT activists. Still, one does not necessarily need to possess an “LGBT membership card” or be a member of any group to get into trouble with the law, he warned.

    18:55 I like how Putin clarified that Soviet Ukrainianization and indigenization of other areas of the USSR was not a bad policy in principle, makes it seem less anti-communist than his February 24, 2022 speech where he just says Lenin created Ukraine. This time he's close to the Russian leftist view, that it was the nationalists that divided Russia and the Soviets reunited and stabilized the country.
