🇭🇺 Hungary now is a very independent country that is very inconvenient for Zelensky & the Nazi EU leaders whose main task is to drag Europe into war against Russia. That’s why they need a pro-Ukrainian government in Hungary & Ukrainian agents assist the pro-Ukrainian opposition.

💥Breaking! Tonight, the same Ukrainian agent who exposed yesterday that Zelensky is redistributing to European politicians is financing the campaign of Péter Magyar (Orbán's opponent) from EU taxpayers' money. This is treason and Ukrainian interference in the Hungarian election!

@GergelySzilvay @PM_ViktorOrban Cope. Orbán has soiled Hungary's and his own reputation with his corruption and by bending the knee to the Kremlin. That fact alone will make him and his party lose dramatically barring election fraud.

Here is new, more realistic poll than those of Medián etc saying Tisza will win with a big majority. It's seem to be unrealistic that anybody will win big. But @PM_ViktorOrban has a great chance to win! (And it's impossible to steal the elections at Hungary.)

@DinkityMcDink @Liesorliars @FightStorage Individual soldiers are responsible for their own actions. Signing up to murder and rape people for a paycheck is evil and every Russian soldier responsible for it will be brought to justice no matter how long it takes.

Unbelievable but true. Everything you see here comes from Russian oil and diverted EU subsidies.

Many RPGs of the past had a relatively linear path. You went from A to B to C, more or less in a scripted way. If you didn't have a key for a certain door you simply could't pass. If you were missing a spell to levitate across a chasm, you had to keep grinding until you got that spell. A lot of this came down to the hardware and software limitations back in those days - you simply had to make do with what you were given. Darklands (MicroProse, 1992) had a different approach. It's a fantasy roleplaying game set in the 15th century and an early example of an open world game, with a non-linear story, letting the player decide freely where to roam and what actions to take (good or evil), also resulting in changes of reputation - and how NPCs engaged with you later on. Combat happened in real time, and you had to consider your tactics carefully (for example a sword being less useful against a full plate armor enemy than using a mace or hammer) - also differing from other RPGs in that way. The ultimate goal was to find and kill demon lord Baphomet, but his location was hidden and randomized at each start of a new session, also giving Draklands a very high level of replayability. However, reviews for it were very mixed. Some praised it for its scope, attention to detail and open world, others pointed out the many bugs in the early version and the slow pacem as well as the confusing gameplay (for inexperienced players). Welcome to Darklands! Welcome...

Bing Crosby's nephew once asked him a simple question on a golf course. "What was the hardest thing you ever had to do in your entire career?" Howard expected Hollywood stories. A difficult director, maybe. Studio pressure. The grind of fame. Bing didn't hesitate for even a second. December 1944. Northern France. The war in Europe still had months of blood left to give. Bing Crosby was overseas on a USO tour - not because anyone made him go, but because he'd tried to enlist and been turned down. Too old, they told him. General George Marshall put it plainly: "We don't need you on the front lines. We need you keeping these men alive on the inside." So Bing went. At his own expense. No toupee — he called the thing a "scalp doily" and refused to wear anything fake in front of men who had nothing fake left in them. And when the brass tried to claim the front rows, he shut that down immediately. Front rows were for enlisted men. The ones who'd actually be in the dirt. That night, they set up an open-air stage in a field. Thousands of soldiers gathered in the cold. There were laughs, there were jokes, there were moments where the war felt briefly, mercifully far away. Then came the last song. White Christmas. Since 1942, that song had followed American soldiers everywhere. It played on Armed Forces Radio. Men who hadn't seen snow, or their families, or their front porches in years would hear those opening notes — and completely fall apart. Bing looked out at the audience as he began to sing. Every single one of them was crying. Thousands of men. Combat soldiers. Men who had seen things no human being should see. Weeping openly, without shame, in a cold field in France, listening to a song about home. And Bing Crosby had to finish it. He had to hold his voice steady. He had to keep going, bar by bar, note by note, while thousands of men wept in front of him. He told his nephew it was the single most difficult thing he ever did in his life. Not a film. Not a performance. Not anything Hollywood ever asked of him. Just a song. Just a field. Just the faces of men thinking about home. A few days later, those same soldiers were sent into the Ardennes Forest. December 16, 1944. The Battle of the Bulge - the largest, costliest battle American forces fought in all of World War II. A surprise German offensive that would leave tens of thousands dead before it was over. Many of the men who wept in that field never came home. After the war ended, Allied troops were surveyed: who had done the most for their morale? Bing Crosby. Ahead of Bob Hope. Ahead of President Roosevelt. Ahead of General Eisenhower. He wasn't a star to them. He was a piece of home that came to find them when they couldn't come home themselves. 🙏♥️🇺🇸

Exactly. There was a sub-coup in 1989. An alliance of the IRGC and Mahdists that embodied Ali Khamenei’s power base took over from the “rationalist” Qom seminary crowd surrounding Ruhollah Khomeini. The key is that while the former embodied the will of the Occulted 12th Imam until he returns, and thus the preservation of the Islamic Republic is paramount, the latter post-1989 believed the purpose of the Islamic Republic is to display the sort of extreme faith and trigger the eschatological (apocalyptic) conflagration to trigger the return of the Mahdi for the final war. In other words, the Islamic Republic’s purpose is no More than the means to trigger the apocalypse. The entire top structure of power in Iran has been homogenized since 1989 around this suicide cult. Imagine a nation led by Jim Jones and his suicide cult. And that is whom we are fighting.

شکریا برادوست، پژوهشگر امنیت بین‌الملل، در گفت‌وگو با دویچه وله فارسی این ساختار را چنین توصیف می‌کند: «بعد از پایان جنگ ایران و عراق، سپاه پاسداران به مرور زمان تمام قدرت را در دست گرفت. خود خامنه‌ای با کمک سپاه به قدرت مطلق رسید و این نهاد را در قدرت شریک کرد. امروز آنچه می‌بینیم، چهره عریان قدرت در ایران است که در دست سپاه است.» به گفته او، "عامل اصلی تسلیم نشدن سپاه، حمایت و برنامه روسیه است" و این رابطه می‌تواند بر رفتار تهران در هرگونه مذاکره اثر بگذارد.#IranWar dw.com/fa-ir/%D9%82%D…
