British subject Anna Campbell was killed by a Turkish airstrike on 16 March 2018. She died in Kurdish Afrin canton (Rojava, Syria) where she had traveled to assist the Kurdish YPJ (female battalions) repel the Turkish invaders.

This is Erdogan's doing. The Turk Army and their Islamist allies are committing war crimes in the Afrin canton. RIP brave one.

Above. The Kremlin plan for Ukraine in 2014 after the Crimea takeover. Muscovite forces would take all Ukrainian land up to the Dnipro River. This stolen territory (pink) would be named New Russia (Новаяpоссия), its name during the reign of Catherine the Great. Rump Ukraine (green) would become a landlocked nation. Why did this not happen? Russia was banking on Russian speaking Ukrainian citizens east of the Dnipro River to revolt and take over their cities. Didn't happen. Ukrainian volunteer militia battalions rushed east and engaged the Russian forces in the Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts. Although suffering heavy losses, this volunteer resistance was critical. The world was watching intently and Moscow was already beginning to pay a global price (condemnation/sanctions) for the theft of Crimea.

General Anatoly Ivanovich Antonov, Ambassador of Russia to the United States, is under sanctions by Canada and the EU for war crimes he committed during
Russia’s invasion of Europe in Ukraine (ongoing for 4+ years). Everything he says and does is to attack Western civilization.

Forensic police in Britain have removed the front doors of the Skripal home in Salisbury. Testing shows that
the door location has the highest concentration of nerve agent residue. Police now believe that Sergei Skripal (66)
and his daughter Yulia (33) were exposed to the Novichok nerve agent when they answered the front door.
A niece of the family living in Russia, Viktoria Skripal, says the prognosis does not look good and she gives
them only a 1% chance of surviving the assassination.

Yep, the lad does look very young. Ukraine has had mandatory military conscription since late 2015. It's all computerized. 18-19 is the call-up range.

When the USSR dissolved in 1991, Ukraine was the 3rd greatest nuclear -weapons power on the planet. With the
Budapest Memorandum guaranteeing the sovereignty of Ukraine's territory, the country voluntarily gave up her 1,700 nuclear
warheads. Above, with the nuclear ICBM removed, the missile silo is being destroyed in early April of 1995. Russia violated the
Budapest Memorandum in 2014 with its seizure of Crimea and invasion of eastern Ukraine.
