@Stigma One problem of today's news coverage (both by official media and non mainstream sources) is that we get individual incidents made into very big things. This is essentially a war on a very large corrupt group. It a big battle fought all over the state. No battle plan ever goes off quite as planned. It is very rare that a battle is won without some casualties that may not have been necessary.

People on both sides argue themselves silly over small moments that were judgement calls.

Wise law abiding citizens stay away from officers of the state doing stressful jobs and making fast decisions on limited data. Officers of the state try to avoid harming those who are not the direct targets of action. But in the end life is not perfect. I don't see many people saying this. Its either "this saintly man was jilled unfairly" or "this bad man was fairly shot". Not "This guy got into a tense law enforcement situation and it really backfired on him. No one wanted this but this is what can happen in these situations. Let this be a lesson to those who get involved in others' battles. It may become your battle without you realising it". You might also add "Do you really want to be a martyr for a group who are ripping your country off?"

We do need to grow up and see reality. Casualties are inevitable in battles.

O The opportunities increase the more armed men you have at your back. Do not be weak going into chaos or you are just another opportunity.

If you think the war ahead will be won by heavily armed men with guns trained in small unit tactics, then the lessons of the Russian-Ukrainian war have gone completely over your head. Doubly so, if the methods by which Nicolas Maduro, the Venezuelan military, trained by the Chinese, and his Cuban guards, trained by Russians, were neutralized, captured and killed have somehow escaped your notice.

Welcome to a world where you can be targeted in the comfortable relative safety of your home, brutally assaulted by someone with advanced scanning x-ray technology and mobile remote directed energy weapons without ever seeing the person assaulting you as they will be a safe few distance outside your sight or reach. This is what's been causing Havana syndrome. Now that the cats out of the bag, expect everyone to start working to develop their own directed energy weapons tech or buy surplus inventory to employ it in retaliation against those intelligence cells and armed forces employing it against them.

Let me add a true story. My girlfriend was living next to some benefit scum on disability who were drug dealers. They had a totally dysfunctional lifestyle along with junkies arriving and knocking on neighbours doors wanting a fix at 2 am. At some point the junkie couple blocked their toilet. So what do you do in their shoes? You throw your turds out the window of course, onto the shared footpath.

She asked me what could she do? I rang the police. They would not touch it. They said "unless they are throwing shit at you, we won't do anything" They were not interested in the anti social behaviour the fights at midnight, the junkies, the dangerous dog and so on.

I said "Do you hear that pit bull barking all the time. Call the police next time they go out and it barks incessantly" Someone else beat her to it. The police arrived for the first time (loads of them) and rescued the dog. They then boarded the house up as unfit for human habitation.

It was the dog that had the rights in Britain not the people.
