Because this is a curse free space I will refrain to use the words that pop into my mind while thinking on a monster like Mr. DeSantis.

If it wasn't for the westerners systematically blown out it would probably be more concerned with Ukraine.

The joke over here has been that Hamas should be hired to fix the New York metro tunnels.

I do see news on Ukraine and... those aren't great for Ukraine's effort; they're running out of ammo so the Russians will keep getting a better hand in the short/mid term.

I have come to the conclusion that Ukraine was the loser from the very beginning, played by the east & west. Keeping the war going will only kill more and more Ukrainians (and some poor eastern Russians). The west is too happy to provide incentives to keep the war going because they think that will weaken Russia, making the Ukrainians useful cannon fodder instead of doing the logical thing: cut their losses, negotiate admitting that the eastern portion is lost (as it was before the war started), and immediately admit Ukraine to NATO. That is cheaper in all possible aspects but I guess all weapons manufacturers are all too happy to keep sending expensive tanks and planes and rockets financed by the west's taxpayers. Horrible and stupid.

Gaza... the last counter I saw today was close to 34K dead in Gaza of which we know 2/3rds are women and children. Israel has done several times more damage in 6 months than Russia in two years. That without counting all of Bibi's other endeavors to remain in power at all costs. And to top it all he managed to kill westerners in Gaza in the most obviously brutal way.

Yup, Gaza has become a bigger story and probably deservedly.

Still you need to know where to aim and it's clear that the network of tunnels is far from being destroyed.
