In addition to Israel's daily attacks and air strikes, Gazans also suffer from the contamination of water, air and soil, since the sewage system is unable to function due to power cuts necessitated by lack of fuel to the main generators of the Gaza power grid. Medical conditions due to injuries from internationally prohibited butterfly bullets and other illegal Israeli weapons as well as from water contamination cannot be treated because of the siege. In addition to the ban on building materials, Israel also prevents many other necessities from being imported: lights bulbs, candles, matches, books, refrigerators, shoes, clothing, mattresses, sheets, blankets, tea, coffee, sausages, flour, cows, pasta, cigarettes, fuel, pencils, pens, paper... etc. In Gaza, people are wondering whether the current Israeli government, the most fascist in the county's history, might even discuss a ban on Oxygen!
In fact, the conclusion Gazans have reached is that Israel is intent on destroying Gaza because world official bodies and leaders choose to say and do absolutely nothing.
The stakes are very high, and the incentive to destroy the unity of the Church has a global dimension. It's not a fight over jurisdiction. It's a fight against the only powerful Orthodox force in the world.The Russian Christian leader added that Orthodox Christianity served as an "island of freedom" standing against values and ideas forced upon mankind by globalism.
"It's necessary to strengthen the mission... and concentrate preparations for fighting a war. We need to take all complex situations into consideration and make emergency plans accordingly. We have to step up combat readiness exercises, joint exercises and confrontational exercises to enhance servicemen's capabilities and preparation for war."One of the key responsibilities of the Southern Theater Command is protecting China's interests in the South China Sea, where Beijing claims sovereignty over a number of islands. The sea is of strategic importance to Chinese trade. The US rejects the territorial claims and has been sending so-called Freedom of Navigation missions through the waters and airspace, which Beijing considers its own, as a gesture of defiance.
Comment: As reported in this Russian TV discussion about NATO's 'exercises', the scenario they drilled for was Russia 'invading and annexing Norway':
Interesting detail about this series of 'exercises': Europeans play the role of 'the enemy', and US marines 'win' the war by saving the host country from foreign invasion.
Oh, and everyone there pretends the whole show has nothing to do with Russia, even though it's just across the border from Norway...
