US lifts ban on weapons for Azov Brigade (archive.ph)
 

The Azov Brigade, known for its tenacious but ultimately unsuccessful defense of the Azovstal steel mill in Mariupol early in Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, is regarded as a particularly effective fighting force. But it was barred about a decade ago from using American arms because U.S. officials determined that some of its founders espoused racist, xenophobic and ultranationalist views, and U.N. human rights officials accused the group of humanitarian violations.

“After thorough review, Ukraine’s 12th Special Forces Azov Brigade passed Leahy vetting as carried out by the U.S. Department of State,” the agency said in a statement, referring to the “Leahy Law” that prevents U.S. military assistance from going to foreign units credibly found to have committed major human rights violations.

The State Department found “no evidence” of such violations, its statement says.

The brigade’s leadership says that it long ago shed those associations and that its commanders have fully turned over since that era.

Yeah, that's valid. I just took it as "they might do it wrong, so maybe they just shouldn't have done it at all", my fault.

Of the 25 largest cities, 20 saw increases in their police budgets from FY 2019 to FY 2022. Twenty-one of these cities are run by Democrats.

When a mf drops the most antisemitic tweets talking about anti-white hatred, and then says he couldn't shoot a cop in a game. The boot is literally all the way down his throat, and he's so proud of it.

Amerikan schools grade you based on compliance, obedience, rote memorization and punish critical thinking or stepping out of line. How do grades in Chinese schools differ? in c/asklemmygrad@lemmygrad.ml
[–] bunbun@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 9 months ago (1 children)

In many regards it's worse. Chinese schools are extremely individualistic and competitive, as well as centered around teachers' authority. They're exam/test oriented, especially closer to the OG "first tier" cities. After each one of those exams the ranking of all students is published, and if you're outside of the top 20% you are pretty much considered a failure. This puts an insane amount of pressure on students. Since 2010 the suicide rates have been steadily decreasing for general population and for age groups 25+, while for younger people, and especially for the 5-14 group they have been rising significantly.

Your strength progression is limited by your stamina. You should try harder variations of the exercise. And for that, let me introduce you to Chris Heria.

The old Hamas charter from 1988. The revised 2017 version removed this:

The Day of Judgment will not come about until Moslems fight Jews and kill them. Then, the Jews will hide behind rocks and trees, and the rocks and trees will cry out: 'O Moslem, there is a Jew hiding behind me, come and kill him.' (Article 7)
