Here is the weapons shop without the minifigs. I enjoyed experimenting with different wall textures and shelving. Could have added some more blasters/weapons, but I like the minimalist look.

An upgraded version of the Vulkha rotary cannon optimized for mobility and accuracy. A 400 round box magazine replaces the linkless feed system for better mobility. This platform features a faster barrel spin up speed but a lower firing speed for increased ease of targeting.

On Saturday 25 February 2023, several thousand Peace Now demonstrators gathered in London to demand negotiations to bring about a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine war.
PEACE TALKS NOW.
Almost all the protesters agreed that their main demand was for a greater effort to end the horrific conflict in Ukraine, in which possibly as many as 200,000 may have already died and with the risk of escalation threatening the end of all human life on earth.
WASHINGTON AND LONDON BLOCKED TALKS IN 2022
The evidence suggests that the United States and United Kingdom blocked Ukraine from carrying through with its proposed basis for a peace deal with Russia during negotiations in March-April 2022, with the Ukrainian newspaper Ukrayinska Pravda, citing sources close to Zelensky, claiming that Boris Johnson, on his visit to Kiev on 9 April, personally lobbied the Ukrainian president to abandon peace talks and continue the conflict.

The former Israeli prime minister, Naftali Bennett, also claimed that Washington blocked his attempts to negotiate a peace deal between Kiev and Moscow.

A VARIETY OF VIEWS ON SENDING ARMS
Protesters had a greater variety of views on whether the West should send any arms to Ukraine at all, with many opposing any supply of arms that they believe will only prolong the conflict and suffering and risk further escalation, while others argued that sending some arms was morally justifiable to help Ukraine, but that the supply should be carefully calibrated so as not to make a wider and even more catastrophic world war more likely.
JEREMY CORBYN'S SPEECH
Jeremy Corbyn, as he concluded his brief speech, declared that 'if all the protagonists in this conflict can come together to discuss the supply of grain to the world, and come to an agreement by which ships carrying the grain from Ukraine and Russia can go to feed other people in other parts of the world; if the US is capable of contacting Russia to say that president Biden is visiting Kiev, then it is obviously possible they could come together for serious talks and serious negotiations to stop the fighting, stop the killing, stop the conflict, and bring about peace and justice."
WHY THE WEST NEEDS TO SUPPORT AND NOT BLOCK PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
1. Regardless of one's opinions on the rights and wrongs of this conflict, it has already claimed at least 100,000 lives, possibly over 200,000, including more than 8,000 civilians
abcnews.go.com/International/russia-ukraine-war-tens-thou...
Its continuation also threatens global food supplies and energy prices, plunging thousands into food and fuel poverty across Europe and leading to widespread food shortages and hunger across Africa and parts of Asia.
2. Every day the war continues, and as NATO supplies of ever more powerful weaponry continue to increase, the risk of the war escalating into a terminal nuclear conflict continues to grow. Putin and much of the Russian military establishment will do almost anything to prevent a Ukrainian victory, especially one that might see Crimea, of huge strategic importance and with a clear majority Russian population, be returned to Ukraine. Many strategic analysts and Russia specialists believe that Moscow would be willing to consider using at least tactical nuclear weapons, and that this could quickly escalate into global conflict. The ongoing conflict is also jeopardising all the remaining arms control agreements which prevent another nuclear arms race, so that even if Ukraine is victorious, we risk entering a new cold war which is likely to end, soon rather than later, in a nuclear conflict that will terminate all organised human life on earth.
3. The Ukraine War has led to a huge increase in the consumption of fossil fuels, and the reversal of key policies in the fight against climate change. It also hinders crucial cooperation between Russia and the West on this urgent issue with regards measures to curb emissions, as well as cooperation between Russian and Western scientists, particularly as Russia occupies a large part of the arctic, where research findings are vital for our understanding of how rapidly climate change is occuring.
4. We have to acknowledge that some of the West's recently declared war aims are highly questionable such as returning Crimea to Ukraine. Not only are the Russians unlikely to ever consider entering peace negotiations over its return, but over 60% of the population is Russian according to the last 2001 Ukrainian census and only 24% ( about 1 in 4) are Ukrainian. So it will be difficult to incorporate the territory back into Ukraine without at least some sort of referendum on Crimea's status. It also has to be acknowledged that the millions of Russians who live within Ukraine have for years faced harsh discrimination with severe restrictions on the importation of books in the Russian language since 2017 (Russian books had previously accounted for 60% of all titles), restrictions on the use of Russian language in schools and Russophobic attacks in the streets.

The Russians in the Donbass area have also suffered from years of shelling during a prolonged war Ukrainian forces waged against them, with a total death toll up to December 2021 (including both Ukrainian and insurgent forces) of over 14,000, including over 3,000 civilians killed. Yes, there was an inflow of Russian arms which also stoked the conflict, but many Russians viewed this as legitimate support for a population which was under attack from the Ukrainian army.

5. Finally, whatever one's views on the Ukrainian conflict, the evidence suggests that Western strategy is failing. Russian forces continue to gain ground in Ukraine on a daily basis, despite an enormous inflow of NATO arms. Russian industry is able to be fully mobilised on a war footing in a way that the West, with its just in time corporate controlled arms industry, can't compete with. NATO has already acknowledged that by the summer of this year, Ukraine is likely to run out of artillery shells. What is brutally termed the "burn rate" of NATO supplied military equipment (and indeed of Ukrainian young men) is far higher than its replenishment rate. At the same time, despite all the sanctions the Russian economy is predicted to grow faster this year than either Germany or the United Kingdom.

The ruble has actually gained slightly in strength against the US dollar, relative to its value a year ago in February 2022,

and Russian reserves remain impressively high. Much of the world, including China, India, South Africa and Brazil, remain more than willing to retain good relations with Russia and import its oil and other key commodities. Western strategy is failing to weaken Russia but the war strengthens the position of the nationalists within Russia, and gives the Russian government a pretext to clampdown on dissent. It also pushes Russia ever closer to China, while accelerating Europe's relative economic decline. So whatever one's moral view on the conflict, the lack of any coherent strategy to end this conflict and the West's refusal even to consider peace negotiations appears to be a catastrophic mistake.

I've tried my level best to bring in all their elements in a simple manner.A black and white coloring to give it a solemn mood.
Well, my minifigs had a rather productive Christmas... apart from the new tank they got, it seems they have a bunch of brand-new crowd-control toys =P

I never liked the old pylons and finally got around to design some new ones. More playability as they can now easily fit all sorts of missiles, rocket pods and bombs.
The reason for the increase in the use of child soldiers is also due to the nature of modern warfare : most of today 's armed conflicts are civil wars.We know so little about modern war and we are so excluded by the powers-that-be that without the commitment and professionalism of journalists we would know nothing.

Those legs are weapons. In the morning she'll come to my side of the bed, sit down, and launch a paw right into my face. The bottoms are sandpaper.

My next build for my GCVI story, and my best MOC yet, I think!
Story:
Erathor unlocked a wooden door that opened onto a set of grey stone stairs. He beckoned to the Loreesi soldiers behind him to follow him down.
The room below was vast, and lit by torches in brackets. Lining the walls were weapons of every sort found in Erathor's army, from crossbows and longbows to spears and axes, all of which were ready for battle. The men with Erathor carried more weapons, which they placed in barrels or leant against the walls.
Erathor looked around at the soldiers working. They were good men, and he didn't want to loose any of them in battle, but war was necessary if Queen Galainir was to be overthrown. Every man knew that.
Earlier in the day, Allaeus had ridden off with a few companions to spy on the Dragons, to find out the main routes they took from day to day and to discover any secret hideouts they may have in the area. Eleanor was hard at work preparing blankets and cloaks for the army, along with the rest of Sarenhold's skilled weaver-women. Things were coming together as Erathor had planned, and he was confident that he would soon be ready to march on the Dragons.
I hope you like it guys! It's funny, I look at this MOC now and think "I could've done so much more!" It's likely I will revisit and improve this build in a few months' time. Enjoy, and have a great day!
For the Glory of Loreos!
"People have told me that soldiers would tell a boy he was free and he could run away, and when he was running shoot him the back," said Mrs Williams.
Certainly, there are curious features to the four-day operation, which has seen Kingston's hospitals overwhelmed by an influx of wounded, including children caught in the crossfire. As of yesterday just six weapons had been recovered by officers conducting house-to-house searches. Six weapons and 73 dead.
"Why so many deaths for one man?" asked Joan, a 19-year-old resident of Tivoli whose brother was killed by security forces. "He (Coke) surely far away, outta Jamaica."
Calvin Higgins appears to have been another innocent victim of trigger-happy soldiers. The 52-year-old former security guard is believed to have been taking rubbish out of his yard when he was shot in the head by solders guarding Kingston's main hospital. Following the shooting, on Tuesday, Mr Higgins's body was left lying for hours in the street.

There is also reports of the military burying bodies in the nearby cemetery. The news have began to leak out as they cannot continue to hold thousand of people prisoners in their homes without food, water or medical services. The residents have began to talk about what has really taken place in Tivoli and the Human Rights abuses that have accrued by the eight thousand security unleashed on a civilian population of Tivoli Gardens. The stories paint a grim reality of what really happened. They spoke of young man dragged from their homes while their mothers, wives, sisters and girlfriends begged for their lives to be spared and shot in the streets by the Jamaican security forces. Explosives devises (mortars) were drooped form helicopters onto houses and apartments with civilians inside. The building tell their own stories. This is becoming a PR nightmare for the Jamaican government.
This is the paradise called Jamaica. Some International news media continue to assure tourist that this is happening far far away from the lovely beaches and all inclusive hotels. This is also the Jamaica the Jamaican government does not want the world to see. The reality of the poor in Jamaican is the other truth that plays out on the other side of the mountain. The slums of kingston could seem like another planet where the police consider the inhabitants dangerous animals to be dispose of. The Massacre in Tivoli must be investigated by the international agencies that prosecute war crimes. The Jamaican government have carried out war on its own citizens and that is criminal.
The tourist commercial song says "Come to Jamaica and Feel Alright" no one with a conscience can feel alright when this is happening in Jamaica.
The Jamaican government must pay for the atrocities that took place in Tivoli. The truth will live to speak.
Four Days Of Hell! in Tivoli!
