He was to be coming home from re-establishing the Anti-Bolshevik league of nations as the Anti-Imperialist league of Nations in Vilnius, Lithuania. He died in Poland (the nation against whom OUN-B committed the Volyn tragedy). His funeral was held the day after Poland was commemorating the Volyn tragedy.

Accidental copy-paste?

They'll definately ask those living in the minor parts of the disputed regions controlled by Ukraine. Asking Russian citizens (who they perceive as traitors) in Russian land, I highly doubt.

Dual-citizenship between Russia and Ukriane isn't a thing. Everyone in Russian-controlled territory has Russian passports now. Since July 1st 2024, those still holding Ukrainian passports are considered foreign nationals and at risk of deportation.

You can hold voting for a referendum? But no presidential election? Contradictory but whatever.

Furthermore Zelensky said that Russia should be invited to the next peace summit in November. No way he'll negotiate sensibly and it will still be for Ukraine's PR.

The majority of the world today says that Russia must be represented at the second summit, otherwise we will not achieve meaningful results,” he said, adding “since the whole world wants them to be at the table, we cannot be against it.”

Clownsky's just adjusting his tone to retain the western audience imo.

 

Announcing a new phase of the confrontation, Sayyed Nasrallah said: "We are facing a major battle where matters have surpassed the issue of support fronts," announcing, "We are in an open battle on all fronts, and it has entered a new phase." He emphasized that the escalation of the new phase "depends on the reactions of the [Israeli] occupation."

Annoying how many Latin American countries have attacked him, I don't care about blatant US puppets but here's the list of shameful social democracies.

Published 12 April 2014 by the BBC. This is at the start of the Donbass war, in Slovyansk, the first city to fall to the rebels. The video explains how the civilian population defeated the Ukrainian army. There is an admission of Ukrainian commander at 2:10

Despite being liberated in 2014 and being the heart of the revolution in Donbass, Ukraine recaptured it after an almost 3 month long siege and retains it to this day.

The Slovak leader stated that his country helps Ukraine with the reverse gas supply and electricity supply.

"If the situation is not corrected, we will be forced to react," Pellegrini said, adding that Slovakia, in his opinion, does not deserve such an approach from Kyiv.

For his part, Slovak Defence Minister Robert Kaliňák said that by stopping the transit of Russian oil, Kyiv was "risking a lot."

"Ukraine's actions were irresponsible," Kaliňák added.

"As long as this issue is not resolved by Ukraine, everyone should forget about the payment of the 6.5 billion euros of the European Peace Facility (EPF) compensation for arms transfers," Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto was quoted as saying by broadcaster ATV.

62% of Ukraine's electricity imports come from Hungary and Slovakia, as much of Ukraine's energy infrastructure has been damaged.

Nope, it is meant as a way to label pro-Western LGBT organizations as extremist so they can be prosecuted for their propaganda. Homosexuality is still legal in Russia.

https://www.rt.com/russia/588339-russian-lgbt-ban-explained/

Legal experts appear to be split on the potential consequences of the Supreme Court ruling, with some believing it will have no impact on the lives of sexual minorities. The designation was not related to sexual orientation per se, but to actual extremists and a “hostile organization, using them as its agenda,” lawyer Dmitry Agranovsky told RIA Novosti.

“This decision will not affect people’s lives. LGBT people have never been persecuted in Russia on these grounds, and there is no indication that they will be persecuted,” Agranovsky stated.

A similar opinion was expressed by attorney Aleksey Mikhalchik in an interview with RAPSI, a news agency focused on legal and court news. He said the ruling was likely to affect those participating in extremism-related activities and self-identifying as a pro-LGBT activists. Still, one does not necessarily need to possess an “LGBT membership card” or be a member of any group to get into trouble with the law, he warned.

That first study you linked about the Medieval Warm Period was written by just one guy (wonder why he couldn’t get anyone else to co-sign his paper) and they’re basically climate change deniers, not “we shouldn’t be alarmists”-ers.

The work I linked is not a study. It cited many studies on the Medieval Warm Period.

I think you are basing him being a denier on what he said in 2013, it's about the haitus and he's acknowledged warming in the 1900s. (“Global warming ended in 1998. […] There has been no global warming in 15 years.”). This was said at the end of the 15-year hiatus (1998-2014). The hiatus was even acknowledged by the IPCC in its 2013 report.

And here's Chinese climate scientists acknowledging a decrease in temperatures in North America during that time period in a peer-reviewed journal. So there was some substance to what he was saying at the time. https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2018EA000443

In North America, the minimum temperature experienced an obvious decline during 1998–2014

Edit: I'll respond to the first part too in a later reply.

The medieval warm period was warmer than present and society flourished during that time. This period lasted from 900 to 1300 AD.

https://www.scmp.com/article/700638/china-gives-history-lesson-warming

Chinese scientists say that Chinese society prospered during warmer times.

From the prosperity of the Shang dynasty 3,600 years ago to the ruin of the Bronze Age, the cultural peak of the Tang dynasty in the seventh to 10th centuries and the subsequent ravages wrought by horsemen from the north, Chinese civilisation has reached its highest points when temperatures have been warmest and its lowest points when they have cooled.

Wang Zijin , an environmental historian at Beijing Normal University, said the relationship between temperature and success was no coincidence. When the weather cooled, agricultural output fell, wealth contracted, discontent rose and China became more vulnerable to invasion from the north.

'In the long term, warming may not be a curse but a blessing [to China],' he said. 'According to what happened in the past, if the temperature continues to rise in the future we may not see the return of elephants, but it will be very possible that rice and bamboo can again grow along the Yellow River. Xinjiang , Gansu and Inner Mongolia will become much more habitable than they are today.'

Thanks for the criticism.

However, the greenhouse effect is supposed to work by absorbing outgoing infrared, not sunlight which the experiment measured. The absorption of sunlight is not much compared to the absorption of outgoing infrared. Therefore I still believe the experiment is irrelevant to the greenhouse effect, while the part of my comment you quoted might be wrong.

20,000 in 30 days. They expect the total force (French + allies) to equal 60,000 according to French General.

https://lemmygrad.ml/post/4035254

 

Schill said France could engage a division of 20,000 troops within 30 days to operate as part of an allied coalition. Paris, he added, would be able to command a force of around 60,000 soldiers made up of French and other allied troops. The French army comprises some 121,000 soldiers, with 24,000 reservists.
