To Russia’s long list of crimes against humanity associated with its invasion of Ukraine, we must add nuclear terrorism. While many worried that Russia might use nuclear weapons if the war grew more desperate for them—and senior U.S. government officials do not rule that possibility out—Moscow has already done something that could have similarly catastrophic consequences. In early March, Russian forces seized the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station . Since then, they have taken a number of steps, each of which has raised the risk of a nuclear disaster. They have turned the facility into a military base . They have mined parts of the facility. They have interfered with the staff, placed them under duress , arrested them and played havoc with the plant’s chain of command. They have used the facility as a base from which to launch attacks on Ukraine. They have also attacked parts of the facility themselves and sought to blame the attacks on Ukraine’s military.

Deadly war robot showcased by Russia is actually a pet dog bot
A new Russian RPG-launching robot is in fact a modified Chinese home dog bot, according to a new investigation. The M81 robot dog, which is armed with an RPG-26 rocket launcher, was displayed at the Army 2022 International Military-Technical Forum , a major arms fair, in Moscow this week. Video of the robot dog walking, sitting down and standing up went viral on social media after being published by Russian news agency RIA Novosti. Reposted on Twitter by Rob Lee, an expert on the Russian military at the Foreign Policy Research Institute, a U.S. think tank, it received more than 500,000 views and 1,900 retweets. However, according to The Insider, an online newspaper that specializes in exposing fake news in the Russian media, the robot dog is a modified "Go1 bot made by the Chinese company Unitree Robotics" which is "essentially a toy". "Despite the fact that at the presentation the robot was wrapped in a black costume, thanks to its appearance the 'M-81 complex' was … [Read more...] about Deadly war robot showcased by Russia is actually a pet dog bot

The changing Constitution since Independence
The current ruling BJP government and India’s longest-ruling party — Congress — are engaged in shows of patriotism ahead of the ‘Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav’ (the platinum jubilee of Independence .) While the Centre has launched the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ movement to instil nationalism and patriotism in Indian youth, Congress has called for the ‘Azadi Ka Gaurav Yatra’ (Independence Pride March) – asserting that it would restore constitutional rule in India if voted to power.

Top Russian Official Threatens Nuclear Plant ‘Incidents’ Beyond Ukraine
With international observers desperately trying to avert an unprecedented nuclear catastrophe in Europe by calling for an immediate end to the bombing of a nuclear power plant in Ukraine , one Russian statesman has opted for a different approach and decided to threaten loads more nuclear complexes across the continent with further sinister “incidents.” Moscow and Kyiv have blamed each other for a series of dangerous blasts at the Zaporizhzhia plant in Russian-controlled southern Ukraine this week, the latest in a months-long series of worrying explosions reported at site. The UN has called for a demilitarized zone to be imposed around the plant to avoid disaster, as detonations continued to rip through the plant on Thursday. But while stepping back from the brink of cataclysm might seem like the sensible thing to do, some people just can’t resist a good bit of weapons-grade saber-rattling. Pulling out all the rhetorical control rods, former Russian president and cavalier … [Read more...] about Top Russian Official Threatens Nuclear Plant ‘Incidents’ Beyond Ukraine
Explained | Why the Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh remains unresolved?
The story so far: The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh has been at the centre of three major wars and multiple clashes for decades. The recent flare-up began on August 3 after Azerbaijan claimed that it had captured the territory in Karabakh in a retaliatory campaign, after an Armenian attack killed one Azerbaijani soldier. What happened? The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict remains stalemated despite the several ceasefire agreements reached in the past. Both Baku and Yerevan claim absolute historic ownership of the region which is located within the boundaries of Azerbaijan but is populated largely by ethnic Armenians. Following Azerbaijan’s announcement of capturing Karabakh, the military in Nagorno-Karabakh disputed the claim and accused Azerbaijan of killing two soldiers, declaring a “partial mobilisation” in response to the clash. Armenia has called on the international community to help stop Azerbaijan’s “aggressive actions” claiming that it continues … [Read more...] about Explained | Why the Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh remains unresolved?

The interview reveals the actor's extraordinary and arduous journey before marking his arrival in the industry with his role as Dr. Asthana in Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003).
