43 years ago, on the 26th of September 1983, the Soviet nuclear early warning system reported a missile launch from the United States. Russian lieutenant colonel Stanislav Petrov judged the warning to be a false alarm and disobeyed military protocol, preventing a retaliatory attack. #otd 🗃️

Tomorrow War Criminal Netanyahu will go to the UN.
He will speak to an empty room, with only his fellow War Criminals in attendance.

Danny Tommo slashes a RNLI rescue dinghy with a volunteer onboard who was completing final checks on the boat. This was in the English Channel this evening. I don't know anything about maritime law, but surely that's still criminal damage and unlawful use of a knife. I hope he gets done for this.
