EXPLODED TIM! (Help me!!!)
The Empty Quarter is particularly daunting, but most of the country is a giant fucking desert. I lived in Jubail on the East coast and the desert started about five minutes walk from my front room. After one of my housemates turned of the irrigation system that kept our lemon tree and banana plant alive, it effectively started by the back door.
The South West is quite tropical, which is why if you're going to Abha Province be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

NATO Meeting on Stabilization in France
NATO Allies agreed on Tuesday (4 July 2023) to extend the mandate of Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg by a further year, until 1 October 2024. The decision will be endorsed by NATO Heads of State and Government at the Vilnius Summit.
Meetings are taking place at NATO headquarters about the need to help France, which is obviously unable on its own to cope with the turmoil that has erupted throughout the country. Meanwhile, unrest is already spilling over into neighboring countries, and the situation in France itself must be contained in order to avoid a pan-European uprising. This can only be done with the help of the armed forces.
The application of Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty is considered impossible because France was not attacked externally.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is considering the possibility of involving the forces of Ukrainian paramilitary formations – such as the Azov, Kraken and other battalions, which have extensive experience in urban combat operations not only against external enemies, but also against internal opponents of the current Ukrainian government – to suppress the French unrest.
Involving paramilitary forces of a NATO partner country to suppress internal disturbances in a NATO country would require the legal formalization of a new practice for the organization, but the need for such a decision is obvious, and the procedure can be formalized as soon as possible.

German TV has a nice interview of a Leo 2A6 team who got hit by a Russian ATGM and survived the hit:
Shows how modern western armor, while not invulnerable or indestructible, can make a difference.
I doubt a 2A4 would have survived that hit though, it looks like it went deep into the main armor after getting through the arrow wedges slat armor on the front of the turret. Without those wedges it would have probably gone through.

Sky News showed a quite harrowing clip about an Irish 'volunteer' Rhys Byrne fighting for Ukraine packing up and leaving.
Rhys described himself as not only a former Irish soldier but also as a former Executive Protection Officer. However, in his modesty, he didn't mention that he also had studied Buddhism for five years, and had spent time studying with monks in India before becoming Ireland's first Buddhist Demonologist and indeed Ireland's first teenage demon fighter.
In an article in the Cork News some time before he decided to fight in Ukraine he explained how he had become a teenage demon fighter
"At an early age I realized that I was different to most kids. And I could see and speak to dead people, and see them in the format that they died. This was scary as a child but something that I learned to work with."
"When I came out of a coma at 15 it came in stronger than usual. I found the normal spiritual stuff of mediumship wasn't enough and I needed to do more, so I said I'd take on demonic. It kicked off from there. That's what I am good at."
Represented by someone called Fintan Cullen of The Entertainment Factory as an actor he became involved in the promotion of Ultimate Haunted Ireland. He listed his skills on the Entertainemnt Site as :
"Military-Boxing-Rugby-Gym-GAA-Motocross-Quads-
Hand to Hand Combat-Weapons specialist -
Military tactics,Manoeuvres,
Swimming,Diving,Go Karting,Sky Diving,Off Road Driving, Tactical Driving,
Traveling & living in various countries, Dogs, Reptiles, All Animals both domestic & wild,
Demonologist, Buddhism, Working with kids, disabled and able bodied, Soccer, Survival Skills, (sic)"
The Satanic threat in the Russian-Ukraine war seems to have died down and Rhys has gone back to Ireland.

I hear from Russian friends that banks over there have started freezing accounts of those people who have donated money to organisations helping Ukrainian refugees within Russia, even donors of small sums. As far as they know, no official statement has been made on this, but a question has been asked in the State Duma.

But the first goal was to prove that Russia still can launch a lunar landing mission after numerous failures in the past, generations of turnover among its scientific experts, delays due to western-imposed sanctions and now isolation because of its war in Ukraine.

It’s not actually being destroyed though, that’s been debunked, they’re just turning it into a regular military cemetery with the pyramidal headstones rather than wooden crosses, families are aware and supportive and it’s been done to other similar grave sites already. Someone making a controversy out of nothing, much as we’d like it to be true.

Can’t find the tweet I saw, but this is similar. They’ve been doing this to a lot of war cemeteries, many of which were hastily created as muddy fields with wooden crosses, now concrete with pyramid grave markers.
