So many lives would have been saved if NATO did destroy russian air defenses in belarus and russia, and russian aircraft, right as the invasion started in earnest. Being cowardly didn't avert WW3, it only made it more likely to happen. threadreaderapp.com/thread/14986...

‼️🇺🇦 On the first day of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, President Zelensky called NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg from a bunker in Kyiv and urgently pleaded for a no-fly zone to stop Russian air attacks, - The Times

Zelensky noted NATO had done this before in Bosnia and northern Iraq, but Stoltenberg refused, saying it would require destroying Russian air-defence systems in Russia and Belarus and being prepared to shoot down Russian aircraft. This, he warned, would trigger direct war between NATO and Russia.

Enda et skred som går ut over infrastruktur i Trøndelag. Denne gang sperres Meråkerbanen. Det er nesten så det kan virke som et mønster, og mønsteret ble beskrevet allerede på 90-tallet. Som kjent er klimatiltak alt for dyrt. www.adressa.no/nyheter/tron...

Det lå i korta at Infantino ville lage sin egen fredspris hvis Trump ikke fikk Nobels fredspris. I boka 'Det farlige spillet' bruker jeg mye plass på å vise og forklare hvordan Infantino ble diktatorenes beste venn. Kjøp boka, så kan du lese selv. www.norli.no/boker/dokume...

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

My assessment of where America stands, one year after the election. A fascistic movement controls the government; they are building an authoritarian state; but they have not been able yet to extend authoritarian rule across society. A democracy no more, but not a consolidated autocratic regime yet:

#PodcastoftheMonth This month we’re spotlighting Thanks for Typing, a podcast by Ros Edwards and Val Gillies that uncovers the hidden contributions of sociologists’ wives - women whose uncredited work helped shape the discipline.

This graph never fails to be shocking: "The US has experienced the earliest and greatest slowdown in life expectancy improvements among higher-income countries, reported Eileen Crimmins. “We have horrible life expectancy—and it’s getting worse and worse”" www.prb.org/resources/se...

Staggering atrocities in Sudan. Following the mass slaughter of nearly 500 men, women, and children at a maternity hospital, UN officials say: "The situation is simply horrifying... El Fasher, already the scene of catastrophic levels of human suffering, has descended into an even darker hell."

Going to start using "the causative association" in my papers. Seems useful!

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

The "hard-men" of Gondor were getting their shit kicked in until they were rescued by foreigners and a girl. The Shire was doing fine until they let a fascist demagogue ("Sharkey" aka Saruman) take over, close the gates, impose a bunch of thug-enforced rules, and despoil nature for profit.

New, from me: Trump's 3 step plan to create a military omniforce 1. Purge - those deemed disloyal 2. Merge - different parts of law enforcement/military 3. Surge - impose the omniforce on Dem cities; instigate unrest; assert dominance; silence dissent donmoynihan.substack.com/p/purge-merg...
