The Recruitment Machine

In August, 30 men, including Jorge, left Colombia together for Ukraine; only three returned alive. They got the idea to travel this long ditance from social media. Several short videos promote the war as a job opportunity, with TikTokkers giving detailed information on how to join.

Dressed in military apparel, a TikToker informs his viewers that they cannot go directly to Ukraine but must first travel to Poland and then cross the border. To find the military base, they have to reach a specific city, the name of which is disclosed via Instagram or in the comments.

Nuremburg's Forgotten Child: Crimes Against Peace | by MaggieEh @BooMan on 28 Mar. 2005 |

This fall will be the 60th anniversary of the WW II Nuremburg trials. And it couldn't be more timely. Because while two of the crimes established by the International Military Tribunal (IMT) in Nuremburg, 'War Crimes' and `Crimes Against Humanity' have passed into public consciousness and understanding, the most important, considered by the IMT to be the supreme international crime seems largely forgotten.

It is CRIMES AGAINST PEACE: "namely, planning, preparation, initiation or waging of a war of aggression, or a war in violation of international treaties, agreements or assurances, or participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of any of the foregoing."

The four prosecuting nations at the trial were the United States, Great Britain, France, and Russia. The concept of individual responsibility for ' Crimes Against Peace', for the waging of a war of aggression, is not some vague international value. It is a standard of international law that the United States was absolutely fundamental in creating.

At the end of the most devastating war the world had ever known, and with the spectre of nuclear weapons shadowing the future, the fundamental purpose of the IMT was not just to bring to justice those most responsible for WWII and its atrocities, but to establish a  code of law that would deter individuals from initiating acts of war. Government leaders were to be held responsible under international law, and `following orders' was not to be a valid defence for crimes of war. This principle that not just nations, but individuals, could be charged by an international body meant that for the first time individuals could be held responsible for crimes on an international scale.

Russia Revives Nuclear Arsenal for INF-Class Missiles After NATO's Moves | APT |

Russia has officially scrapped its voluntary moratorium on deploying intermediate-range nuclear missiles—blaming the United States and NATO for escalating tensions by stationing similar weapons in Europe and Asia. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev declared that Moscow will now respond “symmetrically,” signaling a new phase in the global arms race. As the U.S. pushes ahead with missile development under the guise of “defense,” Russia says it will not sit idle while Western forces inch closer to its borders. This marks a major shift in Russia’s nuclear posture and a potential flashpoint in the East-West standoff.
