shortages, as Russia appears ready to firmly hold to Putin's recent
declaration that "unfriendly countries" must settle energy payments in
rubles, related to the Ukraine crisis and resultant Western sanctions.
"Black men's ethnic image was assaulted by Will Smith. He Did This To Us! ...We have to stop incentivizing women's selfishness! ...If you have a family court system that incentivizes broken families, where a woman can get the child and resources, what do you think we're going to get?

“We believe it’s unacceptable to have any US and NATO military infrastructure, or their Afghan helpers, on the territory of neighboring states, especially in Central Asia,” Lavrov said, adding that “such designs go against the security interests of our countries.”
He added that the existence of Western military sites would contradict the interests of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), which has six members, all former Soviet states.
The Russian official also called for “extreme caution” regarding the settlement of Afghan refugees in states bordering their homeland. He argued countries should consider the “high risks” for their own security and the region as a whole.

Looks like Putin wasn't bluffing.
By Tyler Durden: Contrary to expectations that Vladimir Putin was bluffing about collecting rubles in exchange for Russian energy exports, moments ago a decree signed by the Russian president confirmed that that was not the case.
Putin's decree follows an earlier report in the Russian press that Gazprom was studying options of halting gas supplies to Europe amid RUB payment issues. It also follows comments from the Kremlin which suggested that it would look into the idea from lawmakers to ask other nations to pay for a wider range of Russia exports in rubles.
The newspaper industry was cutthroat, especially in New York. There were at least 16 other daily newspapers in circulation, and there was fierce competition for readers’ attention.
But the young entrepreneur had an idea: thrill readers with tales of death, destruction, and brutality in the Cuban War for Independence against Spain.

A US Army paedophile, who’s currently serving 17 years, was open to blackmail, says a former FBI chief, as a civil case looms
The news agency has interviewed one of the alleged victims, who is suing the state in a civil case that begins next week.
David Frodsham, who pleaded guilty to abuse charges in 2016 and is serving a 17-year-sentence, led a network that included an army sergeant who was later found guilty of posting child pornography online. One of the alleged victims of the ring was Frodsham’s adopted son.
While working in Afghanistan, Frodsham “jokingly” asked an IT technician to grant him access on his work computer to the free pornographic video-sharing website YouPorn, told one female colleague she had only been recruited because he wanted to be “surrounded by pretty women,” and regularly called others “honey,” “babe,” and “cougar.” He was ordered back to the US after the army verified multiple allegations of sexual harassment against him.
