Europe Braces for Escalation: Germany Mobilizes NATO Troops Amid Putin's Nuclear Threats
Oh dear oh dear oh dear, it's all going wrong for the proponents of the proxy war. This is what escalation looks like folks, and if some people don't stop poking the Bear it's going to be nuclear winter. I guess the leaders of Europe that have been front and center in the fiasco have comfy bunkers to hide in when it all goes poof, unlike the serfs they pretend to represent. -

Why I left Thailand
If my health allows it, I will travel every 6 months to a place I never been before and is on my list. Vietnam (Hanoi), Japan (Nagasaki), Korea, etc. At this moment, pensions from Belgium are not "Frozen" like the pensions from the UK. -

Ellen DeGeneres Relocates to the U.K. After Trump’s Election Win
Perhaps that is because she is useless as a performer. Reduced to moaning on Netflix that people don't love her any more. -

Ellen DeGeneres Relocates to the U.K. After Trump’s Election Win
Seems the UK is taking any old trash now. I suppose Starmer is hoping they'll spend a few pennies to help him out of the financial hole he has been digging. -

Putin has vanished
He's in a bunker for sure, a command bunker, launching ICBMs on Ukraine. Oh dear, Zelensky/ Biden didn't see that one coming. -

Ellen DeGeneres Relocates to the U.K. After Trump’s Election Win
Ellen DeGeneres, the renowned comedian and former talk show host, has reportedly left the United States for a new life in the United Kingdom following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election. According to multiple reports, DeGeneres and her wife, Portia de Rossi, have purchased a home in the picturesque Cotswolds region of southwest England. DeGeneres, a vocal supporter of Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris during the election cycle, had publicly hoped to see Harris become the first woman president of the United States. However, after a closely contested race, Trump was declared the winner on November 5, just months after Harris stepped in as the Democratic nominee following President Joe Biden’s withdrawal. In the aftermath of the election, numerous celebrities have expressed their opinions on social media. While some celebrated the result, others voiced their disappointment. Among those who had pledged to leave the U.S. if Trump won re-election, DeGeneres appears to be one of the few to follow through. According to *The Wrap*, she and de Rossi decided to relocate after becoming "very disillusioned" with the political climate. Reports from TMZ suggest that the couple’s decision to move abroad came quickly after the election results, with sources stating they wanted "to get the hell out" of the country. Their newly acquired home in the Cotswolds places them in an area popular with celebrities such as Jamie Dornan, Jeremy Clarkson, and David and Victoria Beckham. DeGeneres and de Rossi seem to be settling into their new surroundings. In a video shared on Instagram by Lisa Hogan, partner of Clarkson, the pair were seen enjoying a performance by Irish band The Corrs at Clarkson’s Family Dog pub in the Cotswolds. The footage, which was geotagged in the region, captured DeGeneres and de Rossi waving cheerfully as Hogan filmed the group. Singer-songwriter Natalie Imbruglia was also present, enthusiastically singing along with the performance. Hogan’s caption expressed excitement about the acoustic setup of the pub and tagged DeGeneres, de Rossi, and other notable attendees. This relocation marks a significant new chapter for DeGeneres, who has largely stepped away from the entertainment industry. In her recent Netflix special *For Your Approval*, the 66-year-old reflected on the challenges she faced after an onslaught of negative press, stating that she felt as though she had been "kicked out of showbusiness." Representatives for DeGeneres and Trump have yet to comment on the move. However, the decision to settle in the tranquil English countryside suggests a desire for a fresh start, far removed from the heated political climate of the United States.

Europe Braces for Escalation: Germany Mobilizes NATO Troops Amid Putin's Nuclear Threats
As tensions in Eastern Europe reach unprecedented levels, Germany is laying the groundwork for extensive national defense preparations, potentially positioning itself as a key NATO staging ground in the event of full-scale war. This development comes as Ukraine launched U.S.-supplied long-range missiles into Russian territory for the first time, and Russian President Vladimir Putin officially lowered the threshold for deploying nuclear weapons. Reports indicate that a detailed 1,000-page document, *Operationsplan Deutschland*, outlines Germany's role in hosting NATO forces. According to German media, the country could accommodate up to 800,000 NATO troops, serving as a crucial logistics hub to transport military supplies, food, and medicine to the front lines. Germany’s foreign minister has declared that the nation “will not be intimidated” by Moscow’s provocations. Beyond troop mobilization, German authorities are instructing businesses and civilians on how to protect infrastructure and prepare for emergencies, including the installation of independent energy sources such as diesel generators or wind turbines. Nordic nations have similarly bolstered civilian preparedness. Countries such as Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark have issued guides and checklists for their populations, covering essentials like food, medical supplies, and rudimentary military training. Finland, for instance, launched an information campaign reminding citizens of their "national defense obligation," while Sweden detailed shelter procedures and nuclear attack protocols. Simultaneously, the United States has authorized the delivery of anti-personnel mines to Ukraine, marking another escalation in the conflict. These weapons, designed to slow Russian advances, come with strict guidelines stipulating their use only on Ukrainian soil for defensive purposes. Ukrainian forces recently utilized U.S.-supplied ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile Systems) to target an ammunition depot in Russia's Bryansk region, prompting Moscow to declare a "new phase of the Western war." Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, condemned the strikes, asserting that they signal the West’s intent to escalate the conflict. Foreign intelligence chief Sergei Naryshkin warned NATO nations facilitating such attacks that these actions "would not go unpunished." Meanwhile, NATO continues its largest-ever artillery exercises just 70 miles from the Russian border. Finland, which joined the military alliance in 2023, is hosting *Dynamic Front*, a live-fire training operation involving 3,600 soldiers from 28 countries. These drills, conducted in northern Lapland, are part of a series of military exercises planned across Europe, including in Estonia, Romania, Poland, and Germany. The British Army is also taking the opportunity to test its Archer 155-mm artillery system, hailed as a "game-changer" on the battlefield. Capable of firing both high-explosive and GPS-guided munitions with a range of 30 miles, these guns are proving invaluable in modern warfare. Major Barney Ingram highlighted their effectiveness, stating, “You can, realistically, with this capability, neutralize most targets.” Putin's recent adjustment to Russia’s nuclear doctrine has heightened the stakes, lowering the threshold for deploying nuclear weapons in response to conventional missile strikes, drone attacks, or other perceived threats. This shift follows increasing frustration in Moscow over NATO’s military support for Ukraine. With tensions escalating across the region, Europe appears poised for potential conflict on a scale not seen since World War II. From intensified military drills to increased civilian readiness, European nations are bracing for the possibility of an all-out war on the continent. Based on a report by Daily Mail 2024-11-22 -

Shocking Online Threats: Trans Woman Targets JK Rowling and Nancy Mace in Call to Violence
In a deeply disturbing social media rant, a transgender woman, identified on Instagram as @Venuspeenis, made explicit and violent threats against public figures, including author JK Rowling and U.S. Representative Nancy Mace. The now-deleted video sparked outrage across social and political spheres for its graphic and chilling content, advocating for murder as a means of political action. The user made a series of alarming statements, explicitly condoning murder and calling for violent acts against specific individuals. "I condone murder... I think we need to hold our politicians accountable by murdering them," the individual said in the video. Targeting JK Rowling, the user questioned, “Why is JK Rowling still alive?” and called for her to "burn on the stake and die." Rowling, known for her outspoken views on gender identity issues, has been a frequent target of online backlash, but the overt threats of violence marked a new and shocking escalation. The user’s threats extended beyond Rowling, specifically targeting Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace. In the video, they made a graphic and violent claim, stating, "I hope that one day I do find you in that woman's bathroom and I grab you by your ratty looking f******* hair and drag you face down to the floor while I repeatedly bash it in until the blood's everywhere and you're dead." This was in apparent response to Mace’s introduction of a resolution that would ban transgender women from using female bathrooms in the Capitol. Mace reposted the video to her Instagram story, directly addressing the threats with sharp criticism. "This is exactly the type of man I don't want in the women's restroom with me," she captioned, adding, "'What are you so afraid of?' says the side tagging me in videos like this." The trans activist also referenced Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in their rant, though their threats against him were less specific. Their rhetoric extended broadly to suggest violence as a solution for the trans community’s challenges, stating, "We would just be so much happier in life if as trans people [we] would come together and murder a bunch of people. I think that really would solve all of our problems." The video, which rapidly gained attention, has since been removed, and the associated Instagram account has been deleted. The chilling nature of the threats has drawn sharp criticism from both sides of the political spectrum. Such overt calls for violence not only undermine civil discourse but also risk inflaming tensions in an already polarized environment. While the vast majority of activists advocate for peaceful and constructive engagement, incidents like these are stark reminders of the dangers posed by extremism, regardless of political or social affiliations. Law enforcement agencies may now be investigating the threats, and the broader public will undoubtedly continue to monitor how these alarming statements are addressed.
