#NEWS OF THE DAY:
#RUSSIA PREPARES TO DRAFT #RESERVISTS: On 18 February, the #Russian State #Duma passed a bill in its first reading that would strengthen preventive measures against draft evasion, according to the latest ISW report.
#RESERVISTS
The #UK announces new powers making it easier to #mobilise tens of thousands of former armed forces personnel to #prepare for #war.
New rules mean #reservists remain on call for an extra decade, & lower the threshold for them being called into service.
The measures affect the segments of the armed forces reserve who are former service personnel known as the #strategicreserve.
Currently, the age limit for the strategic reserve is 55. This will change to 65. #auspol #UKpol #USPol #Trump

#NaturalDisasters are a rising burden for the #NationalGuard
New #Pentagon data show #climate impacts shaping #reservists’ mission.
National Guard logged over 400,000 member service days per year over the past decade responding to #hurricanes, #wildfires, and other natural disasters, the Pentagon has revealed in a report to Congress.
The numbers mean that on any given day, 1,100 National Guard troops on average have been deployed on disaster response in the #UnitedStates.

350 IDF Reservists Refuse to Serve in Gaza City Over Government Decision
In a bold move, 350 Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reservists have signed a statement rejecting the government's recent decision to take control of Gaza City. The signatories, most of whom have served in the IDF for years, expressed their growing disillusionment with the escalating military operations... [More info]
Israel began mobilizing tens of thousands of reservists Tuesday to expand its offensive in Gaza City, targeting northern and central neighborhoods like Zeitoun and Shijaiyah. This escalation has increased tensions within Israel and drawn condemnation internationally as ground and air forces continue their attacks. FRANCE 24's Noga Tarnopolsky has more from Jerusalem.

@pvonhellermannn #Iran is just a #distraction because the only think that keeps #Netanyahu out of jail is perpetual #StateOfWar!
- That's why he let #O7 happen: To break the strike of #IDF #Reservists!!!
@Lazarou Either way that whole "#FreedomFlotillia" shitshow is just absurd.
TLDR: Someone decided to do "#SomeRandomShit!" and I #rant about that:
None of these attempts ever succeeded for very obvious reasons.
The amount of aid they had was negligible.
None of them thought beyond entering the restricted waters.
If they wanted to just get arrested for trespassing a military area, the could've just flown to Israel and trespassed on any army or navy installation. Would've gotten them the same effect for much cheaper.
If they wanted to launch aid, they could've just mortar'd it across the border from Egypt: Would've more likely gotten something over there rather than none.
I don't deny the situation in #Gaza - far from it, but if anyone things they can just sail in there and not expect to get boarded, then they are criminally stupid.
- That's even less likely to succeed than trying to free GITMO inmates, cuz there is at least a right-of-passage waterway going through Guantanamo Bay...
They would've succeeded with a #Narcosub, but that would've failed the "#optics" and those are "Doing some Random Shit to pretend being noble!"
- Seriously, this is as stupid as paintballing cop cars and then complaining why one gets arrested.
Doesn't mean I think the sea blockade is absurd and inhumane, but given the fact #Hamas rules Gaza like a #NarcoState and literally ripped apart plastic drinking water pipes just to build rockets, it's obvious they are crafty.
- Most people, even in #Israel, are aware that #Netanyahu let #O7 happen to break the #IDF #Reservists #Strike against him. Neither #Mossad nor #ShinBet are that incompetent to not notice the amount of planning and logistics it took. But then again there's a very few links one needs to go from the #murderer of #Rabin to the #Kahanist faction that prop-up Netanyahu's coalition.
Obviously there's no incentive nor penalty existing to force a peaceful ending. And #Hamas are obviously making good profit rentseeking the population. That's why the leadership is propably chilling in a heated wirlpool in an air-conditioned apartment in Doha. The only reason those are breathing is because Netanyahu wants and needs them as "#ControlledOpposition"...
- We all know Hamas et. al. don't give a shit about the #Palestinians or #Palestine: They are #SuicideCult after all!
At least AFAICT this time the "FreedomFlotilla" aka. one dingy boat [ #Madleen ] with some weirdos on board had the wisdom to obey the orders when it was obvious the #ISC was about to board them to put on life jackets and sit on deck with their hands up.
- A previous "flotilla" from #Turkey resulted in at least one dead cuz someone had the stupid idea to resist and faced some marine in full tactical drip that pulled the trigger.
Addendum: #ToldYaSo!
