Hamas says Beirut strike is a 'brutal escalation

 Hamas has condemned the "brutal" Israeli strike on Beirut, which the Israeli military says killed the head of the Hezbollah's elite Radwan unit, Ibrahim Aqil.



Hezbollah increased its attacks on Israel after its military attacked Gaza in response to Hamas's unprecedented 7 October attacks, in which around 1,200 people in southern Israel were killed and more than 250 taken hostage.



Both Hamas and Hezbollah have been designated terrorist organisations by Western states, Israel and some Arab countries.

In its latest statement, Hamas said it "condemns the brutal and terrorist aggression", describing it as "an escalation".

Why don’t the Russian generals that have brains just get rid of Putin and his cronies and save thousands of lives and also think of Russia’s future? Surely there must be some?

 It's understandable to wonder why Russian generals haven't taken matters into their own hands to remove Vladimir Putin and his associates from power, potentially saving thousands of lives and securing Russia's future.

This approach has been criticized, notably by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the former head of the Wagner Group ¹. Prigozhin's public criticism showcased problems with Shoigu's strategy in Ukraine. The rec...

Can Russia's war in Ukraine end without the use of nuclear weapons?

 Russia's war in Ukraine can indeed end without the use of nuclear weapons. Despite repeated nuclear threats from Russia, there are significant disincentives for them to use such weapons. For instance, other nuclear powers like China and India have been putting pressure on Russia to refrain from using nuclear weapons ¹. China has even publicly humiliated Russia by forcing Putin to agree that "nuclear war cannot be won and must not be fought" ¹. Additionally, the United States has made it clear that if Russia were to use a nuclear weapon against Ukraine, the response would be conventional and overwhelming ¹. This deterrent, combined with the fear of sparking a major chain-reaction of nuclear proliferation, makes it unlikely for Russia to use nuclear weapons. It's also worth noting that the consequences of a nuclear war would be catastrophic, with estimates suggesting 91.5 million casualties in the first few hours alone ². The long-term effects would be equally devastat...
