From the Article:

ā€œAlongside Belgian nationals, men from Brazil, France, Georgia, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Morocco, and Sweden, several of them with prior military experience, applied.ā€

yeah, i was wondering about that.

the assassination of soleimani by trump seemed bad enough. ( which then lead to the apparently mistaken killing of everyone on ukrainian air flight 752 :confused: )

if weā€™re supposed to stand for democracy and the rule of law, we need to do so in the difficult times just as much as any other time. ( and i know we donā€™t reach those ideals half the time but stillā€¦ )

Please! Has anyone talked about bringing Bashar al-Assad (Putin puppet) to justice in years?

If Putin is ever in a position where he has to worry about war crimes charges, heā€™ll have far worse problems to deal with.

It may not be front-page news, but itā€™s happening. Nobody said these things happen overnight, and Iā€™d like to see al-Assad try traveling internationally.
