Donald Trump says he expects to be arrested on Tuesday

What this guy you mean, who broke in with the rest of the mob? Video of 'QAnon Shaman' at Capitol riot angers judge -
He's not, he's standing with a baseball bat next to Bragg's head. Get a grip, this is highly disturbing and he knows it. That's why its now deleted. Too late to show what he's really made of though.

Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
Bkk Brian replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Looks like the efforts are paying off........... Ukraine war: Battle for Bakhmut 'stabilising' - Ukraine commander The battle for Bakhmut, the Ukrainian city which Russia has spent months trying to capture, is "stabilising", says Ukraine's commander in chief. Earlier this month, Western officials estimated between 20,000 and 30,000 Russian troops had been killed or injured in Bakhmut since last summer. But despite that, Valerii Zaluzhnyi said Ukrainian troops' "tremendous efforts" were holding back Russia. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-65072173 -

Donald Trump says he expects to be arrested on Tuesday

He just can't help himself can he..................... Trump warns of ‘potential death & destruction’ if he is charged in hush-money case Former president Donald Trump warned early Friday of “potential death & destruction” if he is charged in Manhattan in a criminal case related to alleged hush-money payments to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels to conceal an affair. The post-midnight posting on Truth Social, Trump’s social media platform, was his latest — and most explicit — allusion to violence that could follow an indictment stemming from an investigation led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D), whom Trump called a “degenerate psychopath.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/03/24/trump-hush-money-death-destruction/ -
In Canada in 2021 over 10,000 people had assisted deaths. On a personal note a year ago my mum in the UK told me she wanted to die. Now a year later she's gone from living in community assisted living to a full nursing home where she has no idea of her whereabouts or her own state of mind. Its just a matter of time now with no quality of life left. If assisted dying was an option a year ago I would have certainly given by blessing to her wish.

Putin: China plan could end war, but Ukraine and West not ready for peace

You're easily entertained with Putin's propaganda. The Ukrainians not so much. -
Thailand additionally needs to do much more on its own plastic waste that clogs the beaches and sea. Plastic bag usage has certainly decreased in Phuket but not to the levels required and still a lot of work to do in the ocean. There's a small but useful project being run by a specially designed and constructed catamaran in Phuket that sweeps the sea close to the shore of as much of it as it can. While it cannot keep up, its a positive contribution to help. They rely on voluntary donations from International Schools and larger businesses. My daughter is taking part in an all night football competition to help raise funds this weekend. Video of it in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sfFf6O0kzM

Uganda parliament passes bill to jail gay people
Bkk Brian replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Deplorable bill. UN and US join chorus of condemnation against Uganda’s hardline anti-LGBT bill The United Nations and United States on Wednesday added to international outrage over a hardline bill passed by Ugandan lawmakers that criminalizes simply identifying as LGBTQ+, prescribes a life sentence for convicted homosexuals and a death penalty for “aggravated homosexuality.” “The passing of this discriminatory bill – probably among the worst of its kind in the world – is a deeply troubling development,” said a statement from Türk’s office. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/22/africa/uganda-lgbtq-bill-condemned-intl/index.html -

Putin: China plan could end war, but Ukraine and West not ready for peace
Bkk Brian replied to webfact's topic in World News
The vote was an illegal sham, you should read your own link. In addition many of the areas they claimed as having voted over 90% weren't even in their control, they had no polling facilities there. But your last sentence really says it all: "I suggest we let Trump negotiate peace, even if it triggers the left." Its not about triggering anyone. Its about not allowing an illegal land grab and associated war crimes being carried out. -

Still one more witness to hear in the court on Wed afternoon then the decision will be after that.........

UK to transfer tank armor piercing ammunition with depleted uranium to Ukraine The UK will transfer armor piercing shells containing depleted uranium to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, State Defense Minister Annabel Goldie said. "Alongside our granting of a squadron of Challenger 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine, we will be providing ammunition including armour piercing rounds which contain depleted uranium. Such rounds are highly effective in defeating modern tanks and armoured vehicles," Goldie reported in response to a written parliamentary question from a member of the House of Lords. https://en.interfax.com.ua/news/general/898946.html https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2023-03-06/hl6144 -

"Humanity is on thin ice - and that ice is melting fast."
Bkk Brian replied to Social Media's topic in The Green Forum
Nothing personal, but people complain about man made global warming/climate change, but don't do anything (go solar/drive ev) about it, but complaining. Maybe they do but just don't feel the need to publicize what they do personally? Its also important to look at trends rather than a few years at a time. Eleven-year averages are used to reduce the year-to-year natural noise in the data, making the underlying trends more obvious. https://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/189/graphic-temperature-vs-solar-activity/ -

From your first link: "The authors of this latest research say 2020 could have marked the end of the expansion in Eastern Antarctica. In the last 18 months there has been an increase in the number of icebergs breaking away from the peninsula." To prove the point.................. The Arctic has warmed nearly four times faster than the rest of the planet during the last 40 years, according to research published on Thursday that suggests climate models are underestimating the rate of polar heating. “We present evidence that during 1979–2021 the Arctic has been warming nearly four times as fast as the entire globe,” the authors said in the study. https://www.nature.com/articles/s43247-022-00498-3
