Who would have thought it!

...Algerian Olympic boxer Imane Khelif, who won the gold medal at the Paris Olympics 2024 in the 66kg women's boxing category, is once again at the center of a gender-related controversy following revelations about her eligibility status. According to a report published in Reduxx, medical reports accessed by French journalist Djaffar Ait Aoudia confirm that Khelif has "testicles".

The report further states that Khelif suffers from 5-alpha reductase deficiency, a sexual development disorder found in genetic males. The leaked medical reports were reportedly drafted in June of 2023 via a collaboration between the Kremlin-Bicêtre Hospital in Paris, France, and the Mohamed Lamine Debaghine Hospital in Algiers, Algeria.

Off-Topic / 75 Years of Israel and the War - part 3 [576]

YES.....they did it! :)

Targeting IRGC bases is NOT targeting the Iranian people. It is not an attack on Iran.

The Iranian people share a common enemy with the Israeli people.

The Iranian people will stand with the Israeli people,

Wow....the nutters not only lose their heads but also their monies, heh:)

What a sum! According to the Israeli military, $500 million in cash and gold are in a Hezbollah bunker under a hospital in Beirut.....

....The perfidious approach, according to Hagari, is that the mullahs send suitcases full of money and gold by plane to Lebanon and then to the Iranian embassy there. From there, the suitcases go straight into the hands of Hezbollah terrorists . Hezbollah has also opened factories in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Turkey. ....

I hope they get them next!

News / Polish military contingent in Lebanon. [184]


True!

News / Polish military contingent in Lebanon. [184]


It doesn't count because they don't have to. The Japanese won't want them to leave, as don't want the Germans around Ramstein! :) They are not seen as occupants or enemies...


I still can't get over the fact that the West/NATO/Germany seemingly convinced Ukraine to give up their sole weapon which would have hindered the russian invasion in the first place...any invasion from anybody actually...their nukes!

They did it because of the promise of safety, of support from the West....and maybe even a NATO membership, sometime later.

It now seems it was a bad deal...the other option would be an Ukraine with Nukes but out of NATO....with hindsight definitely better!

News / Polish military contingent in Lebanon. [184]

Na ja....lets see....Okinawa is like the german Ramstein, I guess....that doesn't count....Cuba is struggling and really don't doing well, we might see them shedding their dictatorship still during our lifetimes...that would make Gitmo then more like the cuban Okinawa/Ramstein...

Western troops in arab regions is a different beast altogether!

Frankly an important question!

If it would had been truly about liberation of the Ukrainians from Nazi rule....taking out the most important brains and supplanting them with more open ears (open to Moscow that is) should have proven alot less costly in men and material and probably faster successful too.

So why hadn't he used that lane? After all alot countries (Germany surely and now the US) are already blaming Putin with influencing their people's opinions, helping the opposition and trying to shove things his way in a rather more underhanded and subtle manner.

There is IMHO actually only one possible reason...it truly is about territory....to expand your borders and gain whole cities just isn't possible with pure "influencing"....for that you need an army, right?

News / Polish military contingent in Lebanon. [184]

....they should do it as the Mossad does....identify the main heads who are pulling the strings and take them out....one by one....one after the other....they should know that every action will cost them dearly....without having to invade and set army against army!

Fate! :)


Hmm.....I read the camp was called "Britenlager", because of the high number of british POWs....did you look already into the british archives too? Probably...but here are still some more links....

...they might have more resources to look into your family member, especially if you have the names and numbers, also maybe contacting the Russians...because of the high number of Brits this camp seems actually quite well known!

Good luck! *waves*

They would have better chances if they would go for peace with Israel...no more bombing...trusted with souvereignity and independence....they should try it some time!

So....defending your people against baby killers and kidnappers who break into your homes to rape and maim is now equal to genocide?

You know Pawi, recently it has become ridiculous....everybody and their grandmom can now (and often enough is) being called a Nazi...even if it is only a political opponent!
Remember Putin calling the ukrainian gov Nazis and justifying his invasion with wanting to liberate them?

Maybe we should end that....it is kind of a worthless insult now! (Contrary to real proof like pictures!)

This map shows in red points some of the locations of claimants to the title of Centre of Europe: Dilove (Rakhiv, Ukraine), Krahule (or Kremnické Bane, Slovakia), Dresden and Kleinmaischeid (Germany), Toruń and Suchowola (Poland), Bernotai, or Purnuškės (Lithuania)

Do they?

They throw their easy earned oil money onto their own tribe members, whose tribal chief is god-like.....everybody else, doing the real works, is more or less a foreigner and a slave....and that was that!

Do you call that "function efficiently"?

If so, then why all the fuss about democracy and peoples rights?
