Kyiv can use British weapons inside Russia - Cameron
www.bbc.com

... UK Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron has said it is up to Ukraine to decide how to use British weapons and insisted it has the right to strike targets on Russian territory.

During a visit to Kyiv, he said the UK would provide 3bn ($3.75bn) per year for as long as necessary.

"Just as Russia is striking inside Ukraine, you can quite understand why Ukraine feels the need to make sure it's defending itself," Lord Cameron said.

Russia condemned what it called "another very dangerous statement".

"This is a direct escalation of tension around the Ukrainian conflict, which would potentially pose a threat to European security," said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

Lord Cameron did not directly endorse the idea of British weapons being used to strike targets inside Russia.

But until now, the UK has generally let it be understood - without spelling it out - that weapons such as the long range Storm Shadow missile should only be used inside sovereign Ukrainian territory. There have been several examples of its successful use in Russian-occupied Crimea, including against elements of Russia's Black Sea Fleet.

However, coming on the heels of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's pledge to give Ukraine 3bn ($3.76bn) in military assistance every year for the foreseeable future, it seems Lord Cameron wanted to emphasise that it is up to Ukraine to decide what it does with it. ...




Finally, some citizens have stood up to these brainwashed students and their brainwashing foreigner Moslem buddies that have 'kidnapped' one of our American tax funded schools. Giant public Moslem pray services on campus? How is this any different that the Christian Taliban in their attempts to force their religion on the rest of us? Funny how, just as soon as somebody stands up to these egotistical baby warriors for Allah with the same force as they use against other students and facility members they cry for help from the same police that that very morning they were scorning and tossing ---- at. Losers. The vast majority of students in our universities want nothing to do with these morons wearing those stupid table cloths on their heads 'kidnapping' their campuses. I mean kidnapping is just so ISIS, Taliban and Hamas. It is not like UCLA has 44,973 students and I dare say there is not even a small percentage of that number playing campout jihadi Jane and Ahmed. Taking down the American flag and flying that stupid Palestinian flag in its place is disgusting if you ask me and if you do that crap then you will never have me supporting your cause or even taking it seriously. I support peace but do not support people that support terrorist organizations and that is who these people support that take over our tax funded schools and then pretend they are doing us all a favor. Deport the foreigners involved in these take overs and expel the students. Nobody says they cannot protest but in their strong arm actions are derailing 99% of the rest of the students attempt to get a degree. They like to think they are just like the righteous students who fought against the Vietnam war which I supported but they are nothing like them. Hamas would kill every single one of them if they had the chance and enslave all the pretty girls for sexual slavery just like ISIS, Taliban and Al Qaeda do when they take over a country.

For the record, Noem wrote that the dog tried to bite her when she went to grab it from killing the chickens.

The same article provides legal interpretations suggesting she may and may not have broken the law.

Justin Marceau, a University of Denver law professor and director of the school's Animal Law Program and Animal Activist Legal Defense Project, also doesn't think statute 40-34-1, which the governor's office cited, authorized Noem to kill the dog.

The law "seems to allow for an animal to be killed if the animal is actively chasing' or killing an animal considered livestock," Marceau said, describing Cricket's chicken assault a "past act" at the time the dog was killed.

"The laws of South Dakota also permit, as do most states, the euthanizing of dangerous animals in certain circumstances," Marceau said. "But Gov. Noem has failed to note that determinations about whether to euthanize an animal are, by statute, assigned to peace officers and humane officers, not pet owners who determine that it would take extra work or money to properly train a young puppy."

Conley Wouters, a University of Illinois Chicago assistant law professor who practices animal law, took a different stance. He said he believes 40-34-1 "does seem to permit killing a dog who has injured or killed" another person's livestock or poultry." Because the law was enacted in 1939, it was on the books when Noem killed Cricket, he added.
