At a crucial juncture of the war against Russia, President Volodymyr Zelensky has undertaken a major reshuffle of his government, insisting “new energy” in government was needed “today.”

“These steps are only associated with strengthening our state in various sectors — international politics and diplomacy are no exception,” he said on Sept. 4 during a press conference in Kyiv with Irish Prime Minister Simon Harris.

While lawmakers and political analysts close to the president told the Kyiv Independent the reshuffle is a way of bringing “new energy” to a tired government apparatus, those who are critical of Zelensky say it’s more about the President’s Office, run by Andriy Yermak, willing to consolidate power even more.

      Pearl Harbor is not a city, is it?

      I’ve checked nearly every single link from Wikipedia in that list, there were a handful of attacks on American villages. Not a single city was ever attacked (except for maybe Washigton by the Brits) - or rather seriously attacked.

      I don’t really take

      Casualties:

      • 1 death
      • 3 wounded
      • damaged bridge

      seriously, considering that attacks on cities usually end horribly for civilians.

      Huh, that list actually has Goleta. I’m a bit surprised about that.

      Good on Wikipedia.
