🇺🇦❌☦️🇷🇴 The Ukrainian government has denied the request made by the Romanian Orthodox Church which tried to register itself with the Ukrainian Ministry of Religious Cults and open up a bishopric in the Cernăuți (Chernivtsi) Oblast.
In the place of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) which served the Romanian minority in Cernăuți until the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces with the help of national security forces seized many of the churches belonging to the UOC, Ukraine has refused to right the wrong made by the USSR in 1944 when it kicked out the Romanian Church and forcefully confiscated and transferred the churches to the Russian led UOC. To its credit, the UOC allowed the use of Romanian in its churches where a Romanian community lived.
Kiev has decided to fully support the schismatic (some would say, outright heretical) Orthodox Church of Ukraine (OCU) which firmly rejects the use of other languages in religious services other than Ukrainian. This is just another attempt done by Kiev to assimilate the Romanian minority in Ukraine by forcing the Romanians in Cernăuți to pray in Ukrainian only.
Step by step Kiev eliminated Romanian from its schools and now it has eliminated Romanian from its churches. Next up: the imprisonment of those that speak Romanian at home following the Austro-Hungarian model seen in Transylvania more than a century ago.

🇮🇱 🇺🇸 🇮🇷 The Jerusalem Post suggests Americans need “a federally administered debt-forgiveness enlistment program…” for the Iran war.
The CIA has now confirmed what the strike data was already reflecting. First, Iran's military capacity did not collapse. Second, air power resolved neither the institutional problem nor the negotiating problem. Third, the Pentagon still lacks the tools needed to end the war with the Islamic Republic.
Recruitment numbers are running below what a ground invasion of Iran would require. Estimates for a successful ground campaign against Iran's 31 provincial commands and its Mosaic Defense Doctrine run between 750 thousand and 1.5 million American troops. The current active US Army stands at roughly 452 thousand. The math does not work, obviously.
The average American aged 18 to 34 carries more than $40 thousand in non-mortgage debt across student loans, credit card balances, auto loans, and personal loans, with some estimates go as high...
