At the very top of the escalation ladder is all-out nuclear war. While there are numerous countries with nuclear weapons, Russia and China are the only ones with sophisticated enough arsenals to go toe-to-toe with the US up to the top of the escalation ladder.

Julian Assange, the publisher of WikiLeaks, has been denied his petition to appeal the High Court’s decision to extradite him to the United States, where he faces up to 175 years in prison for publishing U.S. state secrets that revealed evidence of American war crimes. The next possible step for Assange to forestall extradition is to ask the High Court to hear a cross appeal against the lower court’s judgement. Assange’s attorneys on Monday indicated that that would likely be their next step. Assange won in the magistrate’s court in January 2021. That court decided not to extradite... read more

US, NATO, Russia, Ukraine And The Whiteness Of Empire
The US has poured weapons, military advisors, and political operatives into Ukraine for years. It has long coveted Ukraine for NATO. So in 2014 the US arranged a coup, with neo-nazi help, against the democratically elected president. The people in the Donbas region in the east resisted that coup and formed the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics in self-defense. The illegitimate government in Kiev attacked them, aided by their neo-nazi militias and supported by the US. By the end of 2021 the war had cost 14,000 lives; 11,000 had been Ukrainians opposing the coup. These Ukrainia... read more

Florida Don't Say Gay Bill Arguably Requires 100% Gender Neutrality Until 4th Grade
Florida teachers and school boards will have to be very careful now that the Florida legislature has passed the "Don't Say Gay" bill.

3 Exoplanets Are Probably Stars
Though often get graphical representations of what an exoplanet that has been discovered might look like, in reality they are statistical wobbles.

The new analysis of the data finds that Kepler-854b, Kepler-840b, and Kepler-699b are probably between two and four times the size of Jupiter.

The Ukrainian leader’s criticism, delivered in a daily address to the nation, tacitly ceded to the Russian Federation (RF) one aim of the Kremlin’s ongoing war: that Ukraine never become a NATO member. “If the doors to the alliance (NATO) really were open, we wouldn’t have been begging them to close our skies (to RF aircraft) for the last 20 days, s... read more

Typically, public opinion―especially on foreign policy―tends to reflect the prevailing political consensus.
