Saudi Arabia and the UAE are miffed?

Really?

The problem with Middle East security is not the United States, it is the lack of recognition of Israel. If there is any country on Earth capable of taking care of itself it is Israel. Yet. The Arab countries in that neighborhood turn away from one of the most technologically advanced civilization in the world on ideological reasons. 

Saudi Arabia, the UAE and whom ever else cares to get real in the Middle East needs to formally recognize Israel’s right to exist and establish good relations with them. Then talk about the Houthis. 

Assassins are outlawed internationally.

There are international laws and treaties that do not allow for the assassination of any government official. What was Putin's assassin doing in Ukraine?

Irina Starikova, (click here) 41, is codenamed Bagheera, after Rudyard Kipling's black panther in The Jungle Book

This is simply not allowed. President Zelenskyy is the legitimately elected president. Putin's assassins should be nowhere near him. He does not care about international laws, treaties or agreements. This is Putin. He will use whatever is available to him to reach his goal even if his goal will never work.

I told you so.

Two Russian planes (click here) that violated Swedish airspace earlier this month were equipped with nuclear weapons, it has emerged.

The flyover near the island of Gotland on March 2 was a deliberate act designed to intimidate Sweden, according to Swedish news channel TV4 Nyheterna.

A total of four planes had taken off from the Russian air base of Kaliningrad....

Putin violates international standards, treaties and laws all the time. PUTIN DOES NOT RESPECT DIPLOMACY. This is an intimidation tactic and aimed at Sweden, of all countries. Sweden needs to consider if it would be better to be a part of NATO.

This is not funny business. There is no waiting for the other shoe to drop or "let's see what happens." If civilization is going to wait to see if Putin is bluffing, it will be all over and too late to decide any sanctions or otherwise. The flight of nuclear bombs over Sweden is an act of war. Just that simple. NATO needs to prepare themselves that Putin's chronic brinkmanship is no longer brinkmanship with the unprovoked invasion into a peaceful sovereign country.

The rouge countries, of which Russia is now one, are prepared to strike with whatever it takes. That should be obvious from Syria.

When pregnant women, their newborn infants and mothers are targets of Russian missiles that is called genocide. And that is only ONE definition of which Putin is very guilty.

I fully expect NATO to get real and prepare for a war no one ever bargained to occur.

I might add, Russia has been sending squadrons of jets to pentrate USA borders. NORAD forces have been very busy. This is all serious violation and should not be tolerated. Russia has a long way to go to bring back any faith in it.

Squadron of four Russian jets is exactly the same STRATEGIC FORMATION seen at the borders of the USA. That is tactical flying with INTENT.

If those jets were not met with resistence in the USA, they would have violated our sovereign airspace and likely started retaliaiton and who knows where it would end?

Chloropicrin (PS): Lung Damaging Agent

I am grateful that Mr. Abramovich for taking any scandalous information out of the media. He is in a very serious situation with the invasion by Russia into Ukraine. It is considered genocide. 

It has been determined that he was exposed to choloropicrin (click here), a cheimcal agent also considered to be Novichok (click here). If he had any significant exposure he would be dead right now (click here). To the left is a chart that discusses the amount of cholorpicrin needed to kill. 

It has been determined by NIOSH that 0.1 ppm (0.7 mg/m3) or less of choloropicrin is the highest allowable limits in any exposure resulting in a non-disabling limit. Choloropicrin, due to it's highly reactive chlorine atoms is a cleaning agent as well as a fungicide TO KILL ANY FORM OF THE VIRUS. (there are protocols that are called "Terminal Cleaning") It is my suggestion that whoever cleaned the meeting room may have used it as a strong disinfectant and there was residue on fomite (surfaces). 

There are serious issues in that room and the discussion and conclusion of this Putin instigated invasion needs to stop and now. There is very little Russia should object to considering the number of Ukrianians targeted and killed in their own cities and towns. The migration of Ukrianians out of Ukraine is extremely worrisome and requiring the support of the entire world to maintain their well being. None of this is a minor issue and Russia should not be delaying complete withdrawal rather than using the violence of war to negotiate a peace agreement that a month ago was unnecessary. 

I strongly suggest far less propaganda should be at the peace tables and the withdrawal of Russian forces out of ALL of Ukraine so a sincere peaceful and PROSPEROUS state can return to the region.

Indict the petroleum industry over lagging change in response to the Climate Crisis.

This is "Scientific American" from October of 2002. Back then the Fuel-Cell was endorsed by Former President George W. Bush. That was nearly 20 years ago and the USA highways should be teeming with these vehicles among other electric cars. 

Over the past two decades, rather than putting money to good use in support of the people's efforts to control greenhouse gases, the petroleum industry has spent enormous amounts of money to OBSTRUCT progress. If the petroleum industy had invested in badly needed vehicles with alternative fuels to gas, those companies would be enjoying those profits instead. 

One might note there is also a discussion of skin color and terrorist germs. All these issues were on the minds of Americans 20 years ago. What progress have we made in ending the debate over where the future lies?

Twenty years is equivalent to a generation. How many more generations will have wasted time in securing the future?

Justice Thomas is REQUIRED to recuse himself in respect to the January 6th insurrection.

Guide to Judiciary Policy (click here)

IF Virginia Thomas testifies before Congress, I fully expect her to be far from humble or apologenic. I want to know if former president Trump insisted she be involved to the level she was, including being the go to person for all special requests from wealthy donors.

It seems to me that Virginia Thomas was a conduit to wealthy donors looking for quid pro quo with Trump in the White House.

I repeat, Virginia Thomas was not elected, assigned or hired to perform any duties for or to the president or his Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. I cannot believe Virginia Thomas was only acting for herself when she had a direct connection to the Chief of Staff Mark Meadows. Virginia Thomas was an activist. She had been for some time. Her activism was extreme to say the least. But, how many times did Virginia Thomas carry water for others to the White House. 

The former president Trump would not tolerate anything if he disapproved of it. There is no way Virginia Thomas was sneaking around. It seems rather obvious that Virginia Thomas was provided direct access to the White House because her spouse is an Associate Justice. How convenient that Virginia Thomas has access to high number donors and Donald Trump himself. When she called Meadows, he was either at this desk in the White House or in the Oval office itself. 

Meadows needs to turn over all the records asked of him, including those that he is hiding because Clarence Thomas names rolls off the tongue of his wife.

Meadows was compromised. He won an election in a district he never visited as a resident. A compromised assistant to the president is a lot to worry about.

I am more confident than not, realizing now that Meadows was compromised, that Trump has dirt on many Republicans. They cower to him for more reasons than just votes.

If Putin's generals are moving troops away from cities...

 ...there is a good reason to believe they are preparing to use illegal weapons or worse. There is absolutely no reason to believe Putin. He carried out an invasion in what seems an impulse of his own desires and fears.

NATO needs to prepare for the worst case scenario.

China and North Korea need to be evaluated for aggression as Russia carries out war with Ukraine. Both those countries as well as Iran have proven to be interested parties in Russia's war.

I think assessments of Venezuela would be prudent.

NATO isn't policing their own members. Orban is beginning propaganda stating Ukraine is interfering in it's elections. Why does NATO allow such propaganda? Either validate it or discipline it. Orban is a member of NATO, but, he is also in Putin's back pocket. There is no reason to trust the liars in the world and Orban is one of them.

Hungary's Viktor Orban (click here) (right) will have to balance business interests with geopolitical tensions in his talks with Putin

Viktor Orban should be asking his business interests to leave Russia.

...Hungary’s long-serving ‘strongman’, (click here) Viktor Orbán, has dominated his country’s politics since 2010. According to Mary Kaldor, Orbán and Putin—as with Narendra Modi in India and Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil—expertly combine crony capitalism, ethnic nationalism and authoritarianism.

Orbán, who quickly established cordial relations with Putin after returning to office (he was previously prime minister between 1998 and 2002), has bestowed lavish patronage on relatives, friends and a clutch of compliant oligarchs. He has also expended considerable time and effort stoking the fires of ethnic nationalism, warning his countrymen of the supposed threat to Hungary and its ‘Christian culture’ from Muslim migrants, international financiers (ie Jews) and members of ‘deviant’ sexual minorities. The strategy proved effective in bolstering support for Fidesz, particularly in the provinces and among the less educated, as well as among members of ethnic Hungarian minorities in neighbouring states (many hold Hungarian citizenship and vote in Hungarian elections)....

Russia is an enemy of NATO. What has Orban done to contribute to sanctions? Is he working behind the scenes to assist Russia in disregarding the sanctions?

I don't listen to Trump. He is a traitor and I can say that legally as a judge has already made judgement about him. He is at least as much a liar as Putin. The mayor of Moscow's wife? Why the money, IF the money? Why? Just so Trump can say what is saying now. The facts are known about the right wings conflagration of Hunter Biden. There isn't anything else to know and it is harassment to revisit it. End of discussion.

Missing White House phone logs? Ask the plumber. The January 6th committee needs to go forward realizing records have been removed from the White House to Mar-a-lago. There is no finding those records. They have been destroyed. We know from information already available that records were regularly flushed down the toilets in the White House.
