The #Kremlin has revised its #nuclear #policy. Does that make the use of atomic #weapons more likely?

It adds that nuclear weapons could be used in these scenarios: If reliable information is received about the takeoff or launch of strategic and tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, hypersonic or other flying vehicles and their crossing the Russian border.

So a #military drone across the border is enough? Nearly the same bullshit is standing in the US version. This means they can use nuclear weapons in every war at any time.

Putin signs revamped version of Russia's nuclear doctrine. What you need to know

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a revamped version of his country's nuclear doctrine that lowers the bar on when he could use Moscow’s atomic arsenal. The new version has been in the works for months.

How Fascism Works

The primary insight of this model is that fascism is not simply the result of a single cause, but rather the culmination of a complex interplay of reinforcing feedback loops that amplify and perpetuate each other... Once these loops gain momentum, they create a self-reinforcing cycle that can lead to the concentration of power, suppression of dissent, and ultimately, the establishment of a fascist regime.

RIP John Prescott

In a career overshadowed somewhat by his impulsive punch of a bystander heckling him, Prescott represented the possibility that non-professionals could rise to the top of politics....

While its still possible (Anglea Rayner for instance), the wave of non-professional politicians being in Government has certainly reduced over recent decades.

Like him or loathe him Prescott represented something valuable for the British polity - class inclusivity!

Trump's criminal conviction won't bar him from accessing classified information as president (although anyone else would be disqualified from a security clearance).

Trump’s criminal conviction won’t stop him from getting security clearance as president

Under normal circumstances, Trump’s criminal record and other aspects of his life, including financial history, would disqualify him from getting access to classified information.

"With full respect for tax sovereignty, we will seek to engage cooperatively to ensure that ultra-high-net-worth individuals are effectively taxed. Cooperation may include exchanging best practices, fostering debates on tax principles, and developing anti-avoidance mechanisms, such as addressing potentially harmful tax practices. We look forward to continuing discussions on these issues within the G20 and other relevant forums, drawing on the technical contributions of international organizations, universities, and experts," says the document, whose final content was approved by consensus.

Southern #Lebanon is actually northern #Israel - opinion

Source: m.jpost.com/opinion/article-82…

Indeed, back in biblical times, southern Lebanon was clearly part of the Land of Israel. In the Book of Genesis (10:19) it says, “and the borders of #Canaan reached from Sidon toward Gerar as far as #Gaza, and then toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Tsevoyim as far as Lasha.” Sidon, a city in Lebanon, is about halfway between the current Israeli border and #Beirut.

On that basis, the whole of America and Australia would have to be returned to the indigenous peoples, and their claims don't even date back to antiquity.

Truth Social investors hoped to get ‘very rich’ after Trump’s win. Not quite. John Viaud, a retiree in South Carolina, knew he was taking a big risk when he poured his pension money into the stock of his political icon’s social media company. But Viaud was hopeful a #Trump win would rocket the stock into the stratosphere, posting, “Come November all of us are going to be very rich!” In the days since the election the stock has fallen.

Google Chrome browser could fetch $20B if judge orders sale: report

^{Thomas Barrabi (New York Post)}

How do you think our leaders have done so far in tackling the challenges of global warming and climate change? Not very good, right?

But when is the last time you heard anyone in a position of power admit that? Never?

In this grimly accurate spoof video, a government representative says: “Being honest would mean admitting that we're failing. And we can’t do that.”

So instead they invented a heinous scam called 'Net Zero by 2050'.

Although it's comical, this video is also highly informative. In fact, I'd say it offers the best explanation of the Net Zero con job that I have ever seen.

2026, if it is not progressive, it will be conservative.

Americans want fundamental change. Not the hope of change, not the promises of change, but actual real-world, live to see it and experience it, everyday type of change.

It is why many people were tricked and bought into the lie, Donald Trump was selling. And if we cannot match that, we will receive only more of the nonsense conservatives sell.

We'll go left or we'll go right.
