9·16 days agoFine doubles every week so it will take a bit over 4 more years.
Edit: Apparently if Google fails to pay the $20 decillion fine in 9 months, it will double everyday. Yikes. This means it will take a year.
11·1 month agoChina and Russia have mutual defence agreements with the DPRK too.
The outer suburbs of Seoul are only 15 miles from the border.
Firstly for the size of their army they have ~1,280,000 active personnel (~4th, between US and Russia), 600,000 reserve and 5,700,000 paramilitary (overall 1st in the world with 7580000 personnel).
They have 5845 tanks (2nd in the world to Russia) and ~11920 artillery (2nd again to Russia)
They have 35 submarines (4th to Russia, USA and China)
The short border will be deadly, expect Seoul to be fully destroyed.

Crucial Statement of DPRK Foreign Ministry Pyongyang, October 11 (KCNA) – The Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on Friday issued the following crucial statement “The trigger for defending sovereignty and security will be pulled up without hesitation”:
The ROK is crossing the red line in its provocation against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
The most hostile and malicious rogue state, the ROK, committed such a grave political and military provocation as infiltrating drones into Pyongyang, the capital city of the DPRK.
Drone infiltrations were conducted by the ROK on October 3 and 9. They were followed by perpetration of such a hideous crime as scattering a huge number of anti-DPRK smear leaflets over the central part of Pyongyang through a midnight drone infiltration on October 10.
Smear leaflets, run through with inflammatory rumors and rubbish tarnishing the national sovereignty and dignity of the DPRK and malignantly hurting its socialist system, were scattered in the central part of the capital city.
Not content with scattering leaflets along the border by balloons, the ROK infiltrated even into the sky of the DPRK’s capital such drones which can be regarded as military attack means. The case is a serious provocation that can neither be overlooked nor be pardoned.
Its provocation beyond the limit line constitutes an open infringement on the sacred national sovereignty and security of the DPRK and a wanton violation of the international law and a grave military attack, for which the ROK must pay a dear price.
The ROK should neither justify the recent case in a trite way nor think of shirking its responsibility by making far-fetched assertions again.
The case is a typical instance that vividly betrays the national position of the ROK belonging to the most shameless, childish and vulgar category in the world and meanness of its clans.
It also evidently shows that the danger of armed conflict is created on the Korean peninsula due to the reckless and adventuristic acts of the ROK.
The international community should strongly denounce the bravado of the ROK, which is steadily escalating the danger of military conflict in the region while unhesitatingly committing provocations hard to sustain their aftermath, and unanimously call for thoroughly deterring them.
International law does not allow free flight of foreign aircraft or flying objects in the territorial airspace of a country, as well as “harmless flight”.
The recent intrusion into the airspace is a grave crime encroaching upon the sovereignty of the DPRK and a clear target of the exercise of the right to self-defence.
The ROK chose self-destruction and is hastening its doom.
In the world, there is no country which will not react to the violation of its airspace and the drones of a hostile country flying over its capital.
We regard the recent provocation of the ROK as a serious political and military provocation that deserves retaliation according to the right to self-defence, without any further explanation and necessity.
The recent adventurous provocation of the enemies urgently requires our army to promptly judge what kind of action measure should be taken to discharge its sovereignty-defending mission granted by the DPRK Constitution and make a decision on launching the relevant retaliatory action.
The Ministry of National Defence, the General Staff and the army at all levels of the DPRK set about the preparations to cope with different occasions of the developing situation.
First, all the offensive means of the DPRK, to be involved in getting the military structures near the southern border and in the ROK collapsed, will get ready to carry out their activities promptly at any moment.
The stand expressed by our head of state some days ago that the DPRK has no intention to attack the ROK, does not mean that we are not ready to attack the ROK.
With the possibility of using all means of attack in readiness, we seriously warn the ROK as an ultimatum again to the last.
The ROK should immediately stop such irresponsible and dangerous provocation that may cause an armed conflict and lead to a war between the two sides.
If the ROK commits such a provocation as infiltrating a drone into airspace of the DPRK once again, the DPRK will launch an action immediately without any warning.
Taking this opportunity, we make it clear once again that the source and cause of all these disasters making the world people uneasy are in the ROK which has scattered political agitation scum into our inviolable territory despite our repeated warnings.
The ROK, which wantonly violated the inviolable sovereignty of the DPRK, will face a horrible situation if it continues provocations, not bearing in mind this last warning of the DPRK.
The trigger safety device is now off.
The time for our attack is not decided by us.
We will watch everything in full preparedness.
Criminals should no longer gamble at risk for the lives of their people. -0-
They have a mutual defence agreement with the DPRK, the only one China has. Also Russia has one with the DPRK too.
Lebanese army did almost nothing in the 2006 war. They just let Hezbollah fight since Hezbollah is mainly present in South Lebanon. Hezbollah is about as large as the Lebanese army.
Rn, they moved back to 5km from the border. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/apartment-building-beirut-hit-israel-widens-air-campaign-2024-09-29/
Lebanese troops pulled back about five kilometres (3 miles) from positions along Lebanon’s southern border with Israel, a Lebanese security source told Reuters. A Lebanese army spokesperson did not confirm or deny the movement.
And further yapping from the PM (the richest man in Lebanon with net worth of $2.8 billion): https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/lebanon-hold-session-elect-president-after-ceasefire-caretaker-pm-says-2024-09-30/
BEIRUT, Sept 30 (Reuters) - The Lebanese government is ready to fully implement a UN resolution that had aimed to end Hezbollah’s armed presence south of the Litani River as part of an agreement to stop war with Israel, caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said. Mikati said Lebanon was ready to fully implement UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and deploy the army south of the river, which lies about 30 km (around 20 miles) from Lebanon’s southern border. Mikati also said he and House Speaker Nabih Berri had agreed that electing a new president to end a near two-year vacancy at the top post would only happen after a ceasefire took hold, in comments delivered after the pair met in Beirut.
“We in Lebanon are ready to implement 1701, and immediately upon the implementation of the ceasefire, Lebanon is ready to send the Lebanese army to the area south of the Litani River and to carry out its full duties,” in coordination with UN peacemakers, Mikati said. He said parliament would then convene to elect a consensus president. UNSC 1701 ended the month-long 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel and called for a full Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon and that the Lebanese army and UN peacekeepers be the only armed force south of the Litani River.
3·3 months agoHe 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.
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.
(There were more but I edited it after things became clear)
2·8 months agoThanks 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.
I’ve heard many people say they’ll vote Putin till he’s gone and then vote KPRF. Rally around the flag effect seems huge at the moment. Still there was one good aspect that stood out to me:
Communists delivered 26 million copies of their program across the country (for the first time not skipping a single subject) which the other candidates severely lacked, a win regardless of the electoral result.
https://kprf.ru/activity/elections/225109.html
Machine translation of Kharitonov’s belief in its immediate implementation:
“Our program will make its way literally from tomorrow. In all regions, in all territories, it was received favorably, and people hope for its implementation. And we will implement it directly,” Kharitonov noted at a briefing on Sunday evening.
In his opinion, the current head of state, Vladimir Putin, has taken on enormous responsibility.
“If he wins, one can only wish for one thing: to justify the trust of his voters,” he emphasized, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports.
Let us remind you that Putin is in the lead with 87.26% in the presidential elections based on the results of processing 60% of the protocols. Second place goes to Kharitonov, who received 4.18% of the votes.
In quotes is a good response from ChatGPT on the matter, she did not discover the greenhouse effect, only the absorption of energy.
Her experiment on it’s own would support a cooling effect (she showed that CO2 absorbs solar radiation, not the greenhouse effect (which is based on the absorption of outgoing infrared radiation):
If carbon dioxide (CO2) simply absorbed energy, including sunlight, without re-emitting it, it could lead to cooling at the Earth’s surface. This is because the absorbed energy would not be radiated back to the surface, resulting in a net loss of energy from the Earth-atmosphere system.
Greenhouse effect described:
However, in the context of the greenhouse effect, CO2 (and other greenhouse gases) not only absorb incoming solar radiation but also absorb and re-emit infrared (IR) radiation emitted by the Earth’s surface. This process traps some of the outgoing IR radiation, preventing it from escaping into space and thereby warming the Earth’s surface and lower atmosphere. This trapping of IR radiation is what contributes to the warming effect known as the greenhouse effect.

They call themselves “communalist” ;) ;) and reject social democracy http://pdp21.kr/?p=116863
Communitarianism is the goal and democracy is the means and method. The goal of the People’s Democratic Party is a world of community where everyone lives equally well, and in order to realize this, the entire people, including the working class, must increase their role as owners. Human society progresses from a community society to a non-community society and then back to a community society. If a community society without military occupation, political domination, or economic exploitation is the first positive stage in a society that reflects the archetype of human independence, we are scientifically convinced of the dialectical process that goes through the negative stage and then again to the negative negative stage. In Choi Chi-won’s Nanrangmi Preface, “Gukukhyeonmyojidowalpungryu,” that is, “There is a mysterious way in this land, and it is called Pungryu,” we confirm that there is communality at the root of our nationality. . We oppose the social democratic concept of publicness and emphasize the communalistic concept of commonality
Literally describing the transition of humanity from primitive communism to communism with a lot of winking.
It participates in the WAP as well which only has Marxist-Leninist parties.
