Typical excuses of abusers, whether of one spouse/family or of a genocide:

Typical Abuser Excuses:

“I was just joking.”

“I was having a bad [missile targeting] day.”

“It won’t happen again.”

“I didn’t mean to hurt you.”

“It didn’t happen like that.”

Ultimately, Trump grew impatient with the diplomatic option

Nearly half the deals were for missiles, rockets and air defense systems, Israel's defense ministry said.

Kinda shocked not to see the US higher up. Still, 9% should be 0% and sanctions / human rights abuse trials.

Sounds pretty in line with "Controversies" on Wikipedia.

Short article.

Putin told Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy, during a meeting in St Petersburg earlier this month that Moscow could relinquish its claims to areas of four partly occupied Ukrainian regions that remain under Kyiv’s control, the report said citing three people familiar with the talks.

So wait, Putin is willing to make a deal with Trump in which he cedes invaded land that he doesn't actually control?

I can't tell from the article if there's a real problem. None of the levels exceed FDA thresholds, and it sounds bad, but there's also no definite claim of harm.

Description of ICE training and practices, including:

What this means is that ICE cannot enter a home without a judicial warrant (a warrant signed by a judge) or voluntary permission (consent) from an authorized adult. They almost never have a judicial warrant and therefore need consent to legally enter your home. ICE agents uses ruses as a way to get inside homes without identifying that they are ICE.

It's not clear to me if "resisting arrest" is a thing with ICE.

The accident was due to a pilot entering incorrect coordinates, said a military official who declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter. The official said that the two jets then dropped four bombs each, with all of them detonating.

Authorities would suspend live-fire exercises until there was clear understanding of what went wrong, but the incident would not affect major joint South Korean and US military exercises due to begin on Monday, the official said.

Residents in the area have protested about the disturbance and potential danger from nearby training grounds for years.
