Washington’s Nightmare Comes True: The Russian-Chinese Strategic Partnership Goes Global (I) | Oriental Review

"Russia and China have their own distinct roles to play within their power tandem, and they are still refining the interplay between them. The SCO, although being a multilateral framework, essentially functions as a bilateral entity for larger Russian-Chinese cooperation, using Central Asia as a practice ground for future applications elsewhere. Continuing with the institutional cooperation between Russia and China, one can most clearly see this in BRICS, most notably in the latest summit. When analyzed as a unified whole, both countries are combining their individual strengths within the proper institutions in order to pursue the shared goal of multipolarity."

Or is it simply that Russia expects to need a bailout from China once its economy collapses from war? Better than the IMF?

Episode 14. How Adolf Hitler turned to be a “defiant aggressor” (II) | Oriental Review

"The remnants of the Czech lands themselves were also acquired by Germany with equally little loss of blood.  The result was intended to be a solid launching pad for future aggression against the USSR:

• the new boundaries of the Reich now butted directly up against the borders of Soviet Ukraine, facing only a narrow (140-150 km.) strip of Polish territory.[3]

• unlimited numbers of German troops could be concentrated within lands controlled by the Reich, even if those areas had only recently been acquired.

• a very cozy situation was created, in which the USSR was able to watch German troops preparing for aggression, but could take no proactive measures without violating the sovereignty of Poland.

After the troops had been deployed and trained, all that would have been required was a pretext for war, which Hitler could easily have obtained from the Ukrainian nationalists.  The "Soviet" part of Ukraine, crying out from under its yoke, could appeal to the Fuhrer with a request to be rescued from the Bolsheviks.  This would be especially simple if the Reich created a kind of internal protectorate or administrative unit named "Ukraine," which could later absorb the remaining part.  Thus there were many options, but all required, first and foremost, the annexation of Transcarpathian Ruthenia and Slovakia to the Reich.  This was the main thing that Hitler had to do."

So Russia takes a page from Hitler's book? Turning history on its head?

Patrick Moore's views on climate change?

"Patrick Moore, a Canadian environmentalist who helped found Greenpeace in the Seventies but subsequently left in protest at its increasingly extreme, anti-scientific, anti-capitalist stance, argues that the green position on climate change fails the most basic principles of the scientific method."

So what are we to think?

With Australia and Canada going separate routes to lunacy, how can you be optimistic?

If you've set your posts to be visible to all of your friends except for one person, you're going to be pretty mad if they show up in that person's newsfeed. And there are teams of engineers who are making sure that's not going to happen.'

So what exactly is a Facebook hacker?

Are the oceans slowing surface temperatures by absorbing heat deep down? Global warming puzzle?

"In a new study published Thursday in Science magazine, Tung says the reason surface temperatures haven't raised is that a natural cycle of ocean currents has dragged heat nearly a mile down into the Atlantic and Southern oceans."

Can the theory be tested?

The downside of a popular gadget called mobile phone | FEATURE & ANALYSES | Financial Express :: Financial Newspaper of Bangladesh

"The dire consequences are gradually becoming evident. Trees are drying up or dying, fruit-bearing trees are yielding fewer fruits than before and birds are no longer seen except only a few. Even sparrows and crows, two common species in villages and elsewhere, are rarely seen, let alone other species. A common complaint is that coconut and nut trees around mobile towers suffer the worst consequences. Water in coconut either dries up or gets blackened. Sometimes the flesh inside does not at all grow and at other times the trunks of both coconut and nut trees gradually dry up or die. Where they do not die, they stop bearing fruits. Other trees are also not immune to the radiation."

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
