LVIV, UKRAINE - 2022/02/27: Refugees on the platform of Lviv railway station are seen waiting for trains to Poland due to Russia's military invasion of Ukraine At dawn of 24 February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion to Ukraine. Civilian homes and hospitals have been destroyed by the Russian military action which caused many people to become homeless."  (Photo by Pavlo Palamarchuk/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images) Both the French and Italian presidents suggest peace talks which would give Russia parcels of Ukrainian land despite unfathomable destruction of life and property by Alexander J.

"Exactly three months have passed since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine . During this time, many representatives of the Russian elites changed their position several times in relation to the war and the situation in the country. Extreme pessimism gave way to moderate optimism, which, in turn, was replaced by the same moderate pessimism. According to Meduza sources close to the Kremlin, these sentiments have now taken another turn: now many people are personally dissatisfied with Vladimir Putin. Moreover, this position is shared by those who advocate the continuation of the war, and those who want peace."     What? Me worry? Article source:  https://meduza.io

Parallel world

Image
Most of our perceived world is in parallel with another  Appearance and function don't have to agree for there to be correspondence  Yet another one of us as a person or a nation can exist without our knowing   It's only when they cross the boundary of space do we realize how similar we are   Time is not relevant and never has been   We exist for the entertainment of god like elements only a few mathematicians are able to cavort with   We send our own kind into space for proof        

Natural Baby Formula

                   This is not a recommendation for replacement baby formula.  Because I was lactose intolerant as a child I was fed goat's milk  One of my children was given goat's milk for the same reason  At the time goats milk was sold in cans in stores as an alternative to other forms of newborn nourishment  View this video for more information   https://www.erienewsnow.com/clip/15318104/goat-farmers-suggest-goat-milk-as-formula-replacement  Please consult your pediatrician if you are considering alternative baby formula solutions  Image credit  Pixbay

Aliens

Image
 A man once president of the US considered building a transparent shield that would allow atmosphere to pass but discourage Aliens from other worlds from entering   Unfortunately he was not reelected POTUS  The highly theoretical wall did not become real, but to this day the USAF and US Navy report sightings in the sky of objects that don't move with or against gravity  They are propelled by another force that allows them to enter Earth's air space and leave at will mostly undetected   Military sightings are becoming so frequent the idea of Alien curiosity can no longer be easily denied  The president of Russia is not an alien who was sent here to destroy this world   His mission is to devastate only the free country of Ukraine   He is a mostly a deranged human Please read this blogs editorial disclaimer

Military drones needed by Ukraine

Image
  The Ukraine uses drones like this one for reconnaissance.  They need hardware with longer range and hang times of an hour or more.  Knowing what's coming is obviously a logistical advantage.  The US has yet to develop a tactical non lethal military drone with expanded surveillance capabilities needed by Ukraine. (This type of drone may be in development for Ukraine) DJI is the commercial drone of choice for aerial pictures usually to asses destruction. It is used for early warning of enemy military movements and artillery positions.    The drone as shown above  This picture take with a twenty five year old Sony Mavica digital camera with .3mega pixel sensor   Files are stored on 3.5" floppy disk

Azovstal tunnels

Image
"As per some estimates, Azovstal, owned by the oligarch Rinat Akhmetov has about 24 km of tunnels running at a depth of up to 30 meters.  Built back in the 1930s, the metallurgical plant with an extensive network of bunkers, an “underground city”, was supposed to become a refuge for people in case of war."  Former Azovstal employee informed Russians of the tunnels' location    source  frontierindia.com
