Only true Australian Multiculturalism connoisseurs remember the old soccer league Balkan race riots 🤣🤣🤣

People have started covering up “Free Palestine” graffiti in cities across Europe and are replacing it with:
“FREE CYPRUS”
Here’s the latest example from Edinburgh

Believe it or not, my condemnation of vandalism has nothing to do with Russian bots. I don't need Russian bots to tell me that burning, looting, and vandalising is not the most rational way to protest against the conditions of French education.
Exclusive: A covert Russian network sought to exploit last month's riots in France by using social media to blame the unrest on uncontrolled immigration and portray the government as having lost control, according to an internal EU assessment seen by Reuters reut.rs/3UMHXCW

Pork is the most widely consumed meat in Greece. It was a highly visible identifier of being a Christian Greek. Greeks payed a 'Pig tax' for a historical staple of the Greek cuisine to remain uninterrupted throughout time and history. Its an unapologetic assertion of sovereignty

Ο Λεκοτσάι δεν είναι "αρχηγός της αλβανικής μαφίας", είναι ένας εκτός ελέγχου μανιακός χρήστης ουσιών που στρατολογεί αναλώσιμους πιτσιρικάδες. Τον Ιούλιο είχαν συλληφθεί άλλοι.
Το να μπεί σε καθεστώς απομόνωσης για να τον δυσκολέψουν είναι ημίμετρο.
Πρέπει να τελειώνει η ιστορία

🇬🇷🇮🇳 Indian frigate INS Trishul visits Crete for contacts with the Greek Navy
The Indian frigate INS Trishul (F43) docked in Souda Bay, Crete, as part of its Mediterranean deployment. The ship arrived at the Greek port on Saturday, the Indian Ministry of Defense announced on Sunday.
The crew participated in a series of activities during their stay to strengthen naval cooperation between India and Greece. The program includes meetings with senior Navy officials and the Indian Embassy in Athens, professional discussions, mutual ship visits, and cultural events.
The Indian sailors also visited the facilities at the Naval Support Activity base and the NATO Maritime Interdiction Operations Training Center (NMIOTC). The crew also paid homage at the Allied Military Cemetery at Souda.
The frigate was open to the public during the visit.
The Indian Ministry of Defense believes that the visit will further consolidate naval cooperation and strengthen professional ties between the two navies.
The arrival of Trishul in Crete comes two and a half weeks after the visit, on October 14, of the Indian Defense Ministry's Chief of Staff Rajesh Kumar Singh to Athens, where the two countries agreed to expand their defense cooperation, with an emphasis on General Staff talks, joint exercises and defense industry cooperation.
On October 10, four days earlier, the Minister of National Defense Nikos Dendias had an introductory meeting with the Indian Ambassador Ravi Shankar, on the subject of strategic defense cooperation.
Souda is not an unknown station for the Indian Navy. In July 2023, the destroyer INS Chennai visited the bay and trained with the frigate "Nikiforos Fokas", while in July 2025, the Greek frigate "Psara" trained off Mumbai with the Indian frigate Tarkash. The visits of warships and joint training are visible examples of the rapprochement between the two countries, which includes the Joint Declaration of Intent on defense industrial cooperation, signed by Nikos Dendias in New Delhi in February.

Турция считает себя "лидером тюркского мира", но почему тогда все тюркские народы на стороне России, и только одна Турция в НАТО? Что за "лидер", за которым никто не идет? И что за лидер с нищей экономикой?
Крупнейшая и самая главная тюркская страна это Россия в ней прекрасно, богато и свободно живет множество тюркских народов, прародина всех тюкских народов Алтай находится в России, Чингисхан родился в России!
А Иван Грозный, первый русский царь был внуком Чингисхана!

Pèp ayisyen,
Nou prèske fin deplwaye sòlda nou yo ak ekipman nou yo sou tè Ayiti. Sa a se pa yon operasyon kont pèp ayisyen an, ni yon envazyon peyi Ayiti. Nou pa yon gwo pisans. Nou pa gen okenn enterè ni pou nou vin domine pèp ayisyen an, ni pou nou mete men sou richès Ayiti.
Nou se yon peyi modès k ap devlope. Sèl sa nou vle, se pou kat teknisyen avyasyon nou yo tounen lakay yo. Epi n ap bay gang yo yon leson, gang sa yo k ap fè pèp ayisyen an soufri, ki touye moun pèp la renmen yo, k ap anpeche l viv yon lavi nòmal, lib, san laperèz.
Se prèske nou menm sèl k ap peye pou operasyon sa a. Menmsi nou resevwa yon ti èd lojistik nan men kèk lòt peyi, se ak pwòp ti kès nou n ap kouvri 90% nan depans yo.
Sa koute nou chè, men nou te aprann nan pwòp soufrans nou: jistis ak lapè pa gen pri. Nou te pase nan menm soufrans Ayiti ap travèse jodi a. Nou te viv yon beny san ki te pi terib toujou pase sa pèp ayisyen an ap sibi kounye a. Nou konnen sa sa vle di: viv nan laperèz, pa fè politisyen konfyans, pa kwè okenn moun ki pwomèt l ap ede w. Paske pèsonn pa t vin ede nou, e moun ki te vini yo pa t gen bon entansyon nan kè yo.
Men nou te rive chape anba sa. Apre 200 lane soufrans, finalman n ap viv nan lapè, e jodi a nou se peyi ki gen plis sekirite sou kontinan an.
Nou pa vin ann Ayiti pou nou touche lajan, paske pèsonn pa peye nou pou sa. Nou vin ann Ayiti pou nou goumen kont mechan yo.
Men sa m ap mande nou: fè nou konfyans, lapriyè sèl vrè Bondye a, epi mande L pou L geri Ayiti.
“Lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m lan lapriyè nan pye m, si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.”
2 Kwonik 7:14
Ede nou ede Ayiti.
Epi lè misyon nou an fini, n ap tounen lakay nou. Petèt jenerasyon Ayisyen k ap vini yo ap sonje nou kòm zanmi ki te vin ede yon lè.
