This is missing the manned surface-to-air missile, one of the most batshit concepts of WW2 imo:

Yeah, but this was essentially friendly fire.

I would've gone for "Osama Fin Laden" in this case.

Social compensation benefits for war victims

War victims are entitled to social compensation benefits if their health was affected by events in connection with one of the two world wars.

The number of war victims and their surviving dependants is declining sharply due to demographic factors. However, there may still be people in the future who suffer from the effects of the world wars. This may be the case, for example, with mines, grenades or bombs that have not yet been discovered or rendered harmless - so-called unexploded ordnance. People who suffer damage to their health as a result of unexploded ordnance are entitled to social compensation benefits.

I couldn't really find much else about the way it's handled locally, it's thankfully not really a common thing. I first heard about it in some TV documentary.

ich_iel on reddit still promotes Lemmy in the Sidebar, Automod comments under every post and a tab at the top of the page. The mods of the country sub refused to move, but most of them are dicks anyways.

I can recommend AnySoftKeyboard, it's FOSS and very customizable. If you swipe up from the space bar, you get additional options.

Interesting to see that China is ranking fairly low on the index and Vietnam so high. Really didn't expect that.

But hey, we might get a decent CoD or Battlefield game out of it in a couple of years.

 

Russian forces appear to have shot 16 Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) in Donetsk Oblast, the largest recorded case of mass execution of surrendered soldiers on the battlefield, Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office said on Oct. 1.

 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he believes the war with Russia is “closer to the end” than many believe and called on allies to strengthen Ukraine’s army. In excerpts of an interview with ABC News’ Good Morning America, set to be broadcast in full on Tuesday, the president said “I think that we are closer to the peace than we think … We are closer to the end of the war.” He added: “That’s why we’re asking our friends, our allies, to strengthen us. It’s very important.”
