Colombia has closed its last peace table

Resolution 391, signed in Bogotá on Wednesday, revokes the government's thirteen representatives at the ELN table — the last dialogue process standing. On Friday President Abelardo de la Espriella said it in four words: "Se acabó la falsa paz." The false peace is over. Criminals, he added, will have no political status — the legal category that makes pardons possible and blocks extradition for rebellion.

FROM RUSSIAN SOCIAL MEDIA:
(Not my words)

Aidysmaa Mongush from Tuva went to the front for the sake of love. She saved the wounded and tended to the soldiers; when news arrived that her husband had been killed, she risked her life to travel to the combat zone and retrieve his body. She could not leave him there.

She was awarded the medals "For Saving the Dying" and "For Military Valor." Thank you, Aidysmaa. A true heroine—an example of love and courage.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"

I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad !

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

Hope to see you all asap.
