    NATO might rush now to incorporate Moldova?

    Is Putin not rushing headlong into a nuclear conflict?

    Rainforest Rescue:

    Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro wants to open 1.17 million square kilometers of indigenous territories in the Brazilian Amazon – an area nearly five times the size of the UK or three times the size of California – for mining and hydropower projects.
    20,000 illegal prospectors have already invaded the indigenous Yanomami lands, while 442 gold mines can be found on Munduruku lands. The miners destroy ecosystems and pollute rivers with mercury, and bring with them a host of other ills – alcohol, drugs, prostitution, crime and disease.
    Indigenous territories are crucial for people and the environment: With their sustainable way of life, indigenous people preserve the rainforests better than government-managed protected areas, as the United Nations has confirmed.

    It’ll be the first mass extinction engineered by a single species.

    They keep playing with the idea of a “limited” nuclear war they imagine they could survive. But even an exchange in one area (say, India vs Pakistan, or just Europe) would cause a global nuclear winter.

    And after Ukraine, we’ve got the Pacific (sic!) situation waiting!

    It’s looking ever more likely.

    Do the mass murderers really think they’ll be ok down in their bunkers, and what about their wealth, with all us proles dead and gone? How many of us do they propose taking underground with them, as their workers? And where will the resources be?

    Russia keeps repeating threats of nuclear war and WW3. The US does not.
    Isn’t this because Russia has nothing else to threaten with?
    How seriously should we worry?

    The war will almost definitely pass on to Moldova next.

    If NATO does push toward a Ukrainian victory, then surely Putin will lose his guarantee that Ukraine won’t join NATO?

    People so naive still, governments too, that they would actually want to survive in the aftermath of a nuclear war, and are taking steps to that end!!!
    This makes the lunacy of its likelihood ever scarier!

    Topples Lenin, but has images of Stalin and of himself and Shoigu among the ikons in his new military cathedral. Also allows units to fly the old Soviet flag. His humour knows no bounds!

    I still prefer Spike Milligan.

    How does “decommunization” square with the canonization of Stalin?

    Will we see “detrotskification”?

    I thought Putin said the Ukraine needs to be denazified. Now, according to Tass, it needs to be decommunized.

    What an ignoramus!

    Mind you, the image of Nazis setting up and restoring statues of Lenin does seem rather apt as well as amusing, if Putin wasn’t blasting the lives of workers on both sides.
