๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ฑ Republicans and Democrats just UNITED to push deeper US military integration with Israel
Ro Khanna: โNow let me just be clear, Mr. Netanyahu actually wrote to a member of Congress to put this section 224 into the bill.โ
The House voted on Section 224 of the NDAA, a measure expanding US Israeli military cooperation, especially on CYBERWEAPONS.
Rep. Ro Khanna and Rep. Sarah Jacobs tried to remove it.
They LOST.
Almost the entire House backed the measure.

Any return to ice age conditions could trigger a crisis unmatched in all human history.
Earth is still technically in an ice age and average global temperatures of around 15ยฐC degrees are still much lower than the long-term global average of 16ยฐC to 18ยฐC A global warming scare has been running for 40 years, yet 10% of the world's total land area is still covered by glacial ice.
From a human perspective, the combined land area of every town and city on earth is still only 3% of the total.
Ice covers an area of 15 million square kilometers (5.8 million square miles), roughly a third of its full extent during the peak of the Last Glacial Maximum (26,000 to 19,000 years ago). This was the most recent time in Earth's history when global ice sheets were at their greatest extent.
The Antarctic ice sheet is still the largest and thickest ice formation on Earth by far, reaching up to 4.8 kilometres (about 3 miles) in depth. It holds 90% of the world's ice by volume & accounts for around 85% of total global glacial ice cover. Antarctica spans roughly 14 million square kilometers (5.4 million square miles) and covers about 8.3% of the total land surface.
Land area is only 28% of earth's surface. The oceans cover 72% to an average depth of 2.3 miles, forests cover 31% and deserts 33%. The oceans contain 86% of the global carbon reservoir and 91% of all retained heat energy; by contrast, the atmosphere holds a mere 1 to 2% of each.
The past 40 years has featured a global warming campaign raising fears of an impending climate crisis, chiefly based on forecasts of soaring temperatures and a global climate crisis. However, the fact remains that the Earth is still technically in an ice age, with ice cover at both poles all year round. We still live in the Quaternary Glaciation, which has lasted 2.58 million years.
The Quaternary Glaciation is a more severely cold extension of the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, which has lasted for 34 million years, since the time of the original glaciation of Antarctica. The chief causes were due to orbital anomalies (the Milankovitch cycles), the isolation of the Antarctic continent when Australia and South America shifted northward, as part of global tectonic changes.
The last great ice age that was similar to today was the Karoo Ice Age (also known as the Late Paleozoic Icehouse), spanning approximately 360 to 260 million years. This is one of the five major ice ages in Earth's history.
All modern human societies and every meaningful invention has occurred during the current Holocene warm interglacial period, beginning 11,700 years ago. The previous warm interglacial was the Eemian (130,000 to 115,000 years ago). Temperatures in the Eemian were also 2ยฐC warmer than today and African megafauna and crocodiles lived in the Thames valley.
The generally accepted average extent of ice age interglacials is around 15,000 years.
So perhaps we should be considering our next move if the next glaciation comes early.

๐บ๐ฆ๐ท๐บUkraine is attacking St. Petersburg, Russia, while American and German representatives are in the city.
The attack came as St. Petersburg hosts the International Economic Forum, attended by representatives from the USA, Europe, and the Middle East.
๐จ๐ฎ๐ท๐บ๐ธ US and Iran exchanged strikes overnight โ here's what actually happened.
CENTCOM moved first: disabled oil tanker M/T Lexie heading for an Iranian port, then struck Qeshm Island under "self-defense."
Iran hit back on 3 fronts:
โช๏ธContainer ship MSC Panaya disabled
โช๏ธUS airbase in Kuwait targeted
โช๏ธUS Navy 5th Fleet HQ in Bahrain struck
"The response would be different and harsher. These should serve as a lesson," IRGC warned.
CENTCOM says Iranian missiles missed. Social media footage from Kuwait showed active air defense.
Today is the opening of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), which was met with a Ukrainian drone attack. Everyone knows the Baltic States participate in these attacks, thus the line between proxy war and direct war has been crossed. This will end in disaster.
Since the 1980s, the Sahara has shrunk by roughly 8%. Satellite data show widespread greening, a pattern that is playing out across the planet.
Around 50% of Earth's vegetated land has become significantly greener, an area roughly three times the size of the United States.
The dominant driver is not rainfall or land use change, it is rising atmospheric CO2.
Higher CO2 lets plants photosynthesize more efficiently, they lose less water, they tolerate heat and dryness better.
The effect is strongest along desert margins, across the Sahel, the Middle East, Australia's interior and the southern edge of the Sahara.
Rising CO2 is making the deserts, and the planet as a whole, greener.
