The first major impact of the day is Ukraine slapping Russia with a 660 drone strike overnight as that battlespace hardens. Now here’s where it gets interesting. Notice the picture in the AP story as Ukrainian drones pound Russia in one of the heaviest assaults | AP News and you will see the damage footage comes out of Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine.
But now the important part: We have seen an increase in the “seer, prophecy, and remote viewer” space of references to what sounds like radiation and power outages in a band running from the Baltics down almost to Turkey. We are not predicting anything here, but pay attention to location, location, location as my real estate pals always remind.
Radiation Risks Rising
This is NOT to be taken lightly: Zaporizhzhia city is not right on top of the nuclear plant. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant is at Enerhodar, roughly 60 km / 35-40 miles as the crow flies from Zaporizhzhia city, and more like 130 km / 80 miles by road, depending on route. Enerhodar is the plant town.
So if the news says “Zaporizhzhia was hit,” that often means the regional capital city, not necessarily the nuclear plant itself. But, the war is on – hard – nearby. Which means?
Our nuke concern is still valid because the plant’s risk is less about a front line moving block-by-block into Zaporizhzhia city and more about external power, nearby switchyards, drones/shelling, staff stress, and emergency diesel dependence. The IAEA has recently reported repeated off-site power losses and repairs around the plant, including grid reconnection after outages. IAEA/UNN report
My read: not “city fighting is at the gates of the reactors,” but yes, nuclear-risk conditions remain elevated because the plant is already in the war zone and its power support system keeps getting stressed. Some of the more excitable press reports clearly point to escalation – as in Putin is planning ‘military provocation’ of NATO states as he comes under pressure from Ukraine attacks, European spies say – but if the reactor is damaged and/or cooling lost, then our recent Peoplenomics discussion about wind involvement in a “Chernobyl II” scenario does “come up on frequency” rather quickly.
Does This Drive Wave 3 Down?
Bitcoin has fallen under $59,000 overnight and is struggling to stay over $60,000. With the stock market on the precipice of a major decline to new lows in coming weeks, we will pause for a moment and remind you why we invented the Aggregate Index which is core IP over on the Peoplenomics site.
See, to a lay observer, it’s not obvious that the broader market is already in trouble. But look at the data and the Aggregate Index calculations of the three major U.S. averages and it will slap you upside the head that we’ve been going down since June 18th!
We will save the projection work for our subscribers to Peoplenomics, but the short version is once we break well below the 35 day market moving average, the definition of “down” begins looking real scary. Scenario building tomorrow – don’t want to rattle the herd publicly.
News Compressor Output
What changed overnight is the Ukraine/Russia battlespace hardened sharply while the market tape started acting like it may be losing the AI/oil-relief cushion. AP reports Russia claimed it intercepted 660 Ukrainian drones overnight across Russian regions, occupied Crimea, the Black Sea, and the Azov Sea, while Ukrainian officials reported damage in Kyiv, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, and Sumy. That puts Zaporizhzhia back at the top of the risk stack: not because Zaporizhzhia city equals the nuclear plant, but because the wider region is active while the ZNPP power-support system remains fragile. Separately, Bitcoin traded near $59,300 during the scan, under the psychologically important $60,000 line, while the AI-chip bid from Micron/Qualcomm looks more like a narrow counter-rally than proof the broader market is healthy.
News to Brace For Next
Next 12 hours: Zaporizhzhia wording and maps matter.
Watch whether reports distinguish Zaporizhzhia city/oblast from Enerhodar/ZNPP. The plant is not in the city, but the region’s power, switchyard, and military-risk web is the issue. Confidence: 85%.
Next 12-24 hours: market reaction to Bitcoin under $60,000.
If BTC cannot reclaim $60,000 and hold it, risk appetite may be fading despite the chip-stock bounce. Confidence: 75%.
24-48 hours: IAEA/ZNPP follow-up.
Reuters reports the IAEA says repairs were completed on a key power line and related infrastructure, but the 750 kV Dniprovska line was not yet back in operation because of substation damage. That is the difference between “repaired” and “safe.” Confidence: 90%.
24-96 hours: retaliation ladder.
A 660-drone event invites Russian response, and Ukraine has been expanding long-range strikes on Russian infrastructure. Watch oil, air-defense redeployments, and Russian claims around “provocation.” Confidence: 70%.
48-96 hours: Wave 3 market risk.
Public side: say the market is vulnerable. PN side: save the Aggregate Index projections and 35-day moving-average work for subscribers. Confidence: analysis call, not source claim.
Planning Next Week: July 3 Friday is this year’s Fourth of July freebie Day Off for banks, post office and such. Gas up early in the week, preload the liquor locker Monday-Tuesday. And don’t worry about Life – not much but the Dallas Fed mid morning Monday though markets will have to deal with the Case Shiller Housing Data next Tuesday.
This weekend is the ARRL ham radio Field Day and I’ve been looking for loopholes in the rules here. (I keep looking for a bonus point for being old and on CW…just not finding that…)
Weak Signals in New Flows
Here’s what has us adjusting the headphones (and looking up dial-a-prayer’s number):
Signal: Russian logistics nodes get named repeatedly.
If the same refineries, rail bridges, fuel depots, or air-defense nodes appear in several strike reports, Ukraine may be moving from harassment to systematic strangulation. NATO, in our darker reading, may find a war footing useful for internal cohesion & taxation goals. Whether new arrivals in the EU will take part in such a fluster-cluck is a whole advanced calculus class. And Trump’s not looking real NATO-friendly. We have bailed Europe out twice in previous world wars…
Signal: NATO starts using “air defense posture” language.
That is more serious than generic concern. Watch Poland, Romania, Baltics, and NATO pressers for “posture,” “readiness,” “integrated air defense,” or “eastern flank.” Watch for any weakness in EU economic reports because that could be a contributory factor. “War for peace” kind of thinking.
Signal: Commodity divergence: gold firm, oil soft, copper weak.
That mix can mean fear bid plus growth worries rather than inflation panic. If metals split that way while equities sag, the market may be pricing contraction risk.
Signal: Food/ag weather quietly worsens.
Watch USDA crop progress, drought maps, Black Sea grain shipping, and fertilizer disruptions. Food signals often take weeks to become grocery-price stories. We picked up more hydroponic gear and have continued making plans for more home growing.
Signal: Cyber advisories cluster around energy, water, ports, or rail.
One CISA notice is routine. Several sector-specific warnings close together can point to active probing before public disruption. Not there yet, but eyes open, people.
Signal: Local emergency-management accounts post “routine preparedness” reminders.
These are easy to ignore, but when several jurisdictions post similar wording within 24-72 hours, it can indicate upstream guidance or shared concern.
Signal: Amazon Prime deals expire at 11:59 PM Pacific tonight. So, if you are looking to lock deal pricing, the clock is running. If you are particularly worried about nuclear risks, Geiger counter deals are here.
Fresh Data
Just out today:
Along with this, retail inventories were up 0.6 percent, so not a huge indicator of rising prices – yet.
Around the Ranch: One Missing Holiday
I like summer. A lot. Though here in East Texas, liking summer does not mean being stupid about it. Peoplenomics will publish early tomorrow so I can get the yard mowed before the heat really gets its boots on. Along the way, I’ve been thinking about how good these “special event” weekends feel: ARRL Field Day, the Fourth, and those rare four-day workweeks when the whole country seems to exhale at once.
Frankly, damn good.
The problem is the long dry run after the Fourth of July out to Labor Day. Once Independence Day is over, America enters a seven or eight-week stretch of heat, bugs, overwork, travel bills, school-shopping, cranky tempers, and not much national permission to stand down. Seems to me we ought to plug in one more national holiday, either the last week of July or the first week of August. Call it Common Sense Day, Heat Index Day, National Porch Sitting Day, or Bureaucrat Recalibration Monday. I’m flexible on the name. I’m not flexible on the need.
But Seriously…
…there are some holidays that would make more national sense than another ornamental Monday for mattress sales. A late-July or early-August holiday could recognize people who keep the country running while everyone else is indoors pretending the heat index is a personal-growth opportunity. National First Responders Day would be a natural fit: police, fire, EMTs, dispatchers, ER crews, and rescue volunteers. Put it in the hottest part of summer and it would remind the rest of us who still has to show up when roads melt, storms roll, and fools do foolish things with boats, fireworks, ladders, and barbecue grills.
Other serious candidates?
National Infrastructure Day, honoring linemen, water-plant operators, road crews, bridge inspectors, sewer workers, grid operators, and the invisible army that keeps civilization from becoming a camping trip with paperwork.
American Trades Day would honor welders, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, mechanics, machinists, farmers, and small-shop people who actually know which end of a tool does the work.
Caregivers and Elders Day would recognize the family caregivers, nursing-home workers, home-health people, and spouses holding together the back half of American life.
Or make it National Resilience Day, a preparedness holiday without the weirdness: check batteries, water, generators, insurance, wills, radios, first-aid kits, and emergency contacts. Useful, civic, and not entirely stupid. That alone would make it unusual.
We Have Lost Our Vacationing Edge
American vacations and time off have been a huge growth engine. Everything from camping to resorts to RVs and even Disney properties. But the data hints that we have lost our “vacationing and time-off edge.” Other countries have already figured out that summer needs pressure valves.
Japan has Marine Day on the third Monday in July and Mountain Day on August 11, which is about as elegant a summer pairing as a country could design: one holiday for the sea, one for the high country. Nippon.com
China does not really solve the July-August problem with a broad national public holiday; its big shutdown energy is built around Spring Festival and the October National Day Golden Week. PublicHolidays.cn
Russia has Russia Day on June 12, but its July-August calendar is more a mix of professional and military observances than a broad summer civic pause. Timeanddate
Europe, on the other hand, handles the matter by simply disappearing. Not officially all at once, of course, but culturally enough that NATO countries can feel half out-to-lunch from mid-July into late August. A lot of Catholic Europe also has Assumption Day on August 15 as a public holiday or regional holiday, including places such as Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, and parts of Germany and Switzerland. Office Holidays/ I will excuse the sunburned anthropology question from my real estate pals on bar stools who wonder “They talking about assumptions like in foreclosures?” Only because summer is so hell-like I will refrain from slapping them.
This isn’t just me wanting another day off because the thermometer is making threats. There is a real civic design problem here. America runs hard from Independence Day to Labor Day through heat, storms, school re-entry, harvest stress, travel madness, and worker burnout. One more national pause in that dead zone would be good for families, good for safety, good for morale, and probably good for whatever remains of the national blood pressure.
Though speaking of blood pressure: as long as the pulse of business is stable (and our EIA lipid levels are good) we can all keep working our asses off. It’s just that enterprising to rack up summer deodorant sales is oh, so much less cool than reinforcing Camping World, know what I mean?

The Mystery – What Happened to the SpaceX Penetration Team ?
Where did they go ? Were they Assimilated ? Yeah, yeah, yeah – what mystery ? Eyes Only, bitches.
Vanishing: An Assimilation by the Field.
The disappearance of 12 scientists May 15 , 2026
* “resonance extraction”
– 5 plasma scientists, 4 aerospace materials engineers, and 3 quantum field resonance specialists. Job was penetrate Earths Firmament Boundary Layer. A coordinated attempt to Resonate with the Layers super fluid Aether.
DOE physicists communications suggest the scientists were “plucked out of our time, and fused with the field”. Not an accident , but rather an “immune response by the Aether.”-DOE comms
The Firmament Boundary Layer is not a passive environment, but a dynamic recursive system that actively maintains its own coherence. The above mentioned Scientist were perceived as a threat, and they were assimilated to maintain stability. They were not killed in the conventional sense, they “were decomposed into Memory”. Their physical forms consumed in what is described as a “coronal event”.
“caught in the secondary entropy field”
“same forces that build Us, protect themselves up there”
” J. Smith knew, DOE knew, they sent those 12 people into the “hornets nest” knowing the Aether would rip them apart”
Sources;
Jeff Smith – DOE physicist, OG member Able Danger team still under grand jury Silence orders out of Houston, TX.

* This area of upper atmosphere is also where Zero Point NRG extraction is being investigated.
Seriously reminds me of my Advisors’ caution regards high NRG – super refined Qi.
If Master was to Give You some – without Ure prior preparation and years of Cultivation and Practice..well end result would prolly be Expiration. Real high energy Qi from a Master – I can not adequately describe. I just know when my personal levels are up, everything in Nature reacts/responds, including the not dead/not alive fckrs that come thru the “thin spaces” to feed off our Life NRG. Wife and myself attended a Qigong festival in NYC at MSG, my Tai-Chi group was opening act of the Peace, Health and Prosperity concert in 98. Dr Yan Xin was guest of Honor. Entire place knew exactly when he walked into the room – you could see and feel a huge difference in the “air”. The two of Us could not sleep for 2 days straight after that one it was so strong that night, but we did not get tired, in fact opposite, we felt Refreshed the whole time.

Why are you spreading propaganda.
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2026/06/ukraine-isnt-winning.html
I’ll let this slide and approve it. For the record, I listen more closely to PN subscribers because they have access to the full analysis and can argue from the whole piece, not just a public slice or a preferred outside link.
Thanks for the link. There’s a difference between reporting what officials, wire services, and battlefield sources are saying, and personally endorsing every claim inside the fog of war. I don’t treat Kyiv, Moscow, Washington, NATO, or partisan war blogs as holy writ. They all have agendas.
The Moon of Alabama piece is an opinion/analysis piece with its own frame. It may contain useful counterpoints, but it is not a magic wand that turns every contrary report into “propaganda.”
My job here is to surface claims, note the direction of the news flow, and let readers weigh sources. If your point is “Ukraine may not be winning,” fine. That’s a legitimate argument. But accusing me of “spreading propaganda” because I reported one side of a running information war is lazy reading.
A closer read of today’s report would also show the actual issue I was flagging: nuclear power plant location, battlefield proximity, and the possible response paths that may follow from that. That is not cheerleading. That is risk analysis.
Reporting is not endorsement. Moon of Alabama is also a source with a strong point of view. Useful? Sometimes. Definitive? No. Accusing me of “propaganda” because you prefer a different partisan filter is not analysis.
It is, however, a path to getting banned from posting here.
Not sure how discussion of a nuclear disaster in Ukraine constitutes rooting for one side or another. Wind direction would determine winners and losers in a core breach scenario.
As for propaganda, that moniker cuts both ways.
Top of the page kinda says a lot:
Moon of Alabama
Where barflies get together
hi mate . have all the hotspots around you cooled down a bit ?
I drop in on Moon of Alabama occasionally. The blogmeister isn’t as intelligent or erudite as you and lacks the breadth of knowledge of both Ure, and the gallery here, but it’s probably above average for gallery intelligence and general content. The gallery has the same prejudices and inanities as yours, trolls and flamerz abound (but don’t flourish), and everyone has their own version of “truth” which may (or may not) resemble reality. It is also B&M and gossip-centric — essentially (as the subtitle says) a BYO bar room, without the shouting and bar fights. It is also not updated very often, so one can drop in once a month and get a feel of the Internet breeze from a different vantage point, then return to normality with little time wasted…
Thanks Ray – duly noted. I get thin skinned when painted as a propagandist, lol –
(” If you are particularly worried about nuclear risks, Geiger counter deals are here.”)
hmm..just a thought..but if your worried about radiation.. its already to late….
in those studies that congress spent millions to have done by smart men that they refuse to read..because lets face it..they work twenty eight days a year and seriously..they don’t bother to read any of that deal that passes their desk..they have more important things to do…
https://youtu.be/IsWlkcsI5Ko?si=ttXMoMUBt6tMBbeZ
in all of the studies that’s been done..theres o my the size of a middle size city that will be left to carry on.. my guess is..the homeless already surviving as if a catastrophic event has already happened and the Amish colonies..
now I actually have three..an end and a Geiger counter and the pocket probes..I got them years ago after I discovered that one of the day Labor jobs I had was scooping hot waste dirt away from a tank spill..into a bucket that loaded it into trucks that had drop down canopy with advertising soup.
(“The real killer in the models is famine from nuclear winter, not the bombs.”)
A major 2022–2023 modeling study in Nature Food estimated that a full?scale nuclear war between the U.S. and Russia could lead to over 5 billion deaths from starvation in the following years, due to soot in the atmosphere blocking sunlight and collapsing agriculture.
So: survival is possible, but the “expected survival rate” is brutally low, and the quality of life for survivors is nothing like normal civilization.”)
We the soft people that are use to having all the modern day luxuries that we seriously underestimate the impact of not having them… dont have a chance..
Who told you you were living in reality ?
This IS NOT REALITY.
REALITY ended during a particularly nasty arial atomic bomb test in late 50’s. Everything changed in blink of an eye.
We have been “living” in “make believe time” ever since.
Dr yuval noah harari – “to DOMINATE humanity on a massive scale, all you need is a coordinated cabal of elites feeding the world the SAME made-up stories – total fictions designed for CONTROL”
Poor Joe Spuckatelly, he was told owning nothing (by the states decree) working for free(by the capitalist wage) and worshipping idols(by the elites design) was his sole purpose- until even his Agony was extracted and packaged in data centers owned by trillionaire world rulers. American Dream.

G.A. STEWART: In another strange coincidence, a former coworker and friend with whom I worked with for 20-years passed away last week. His funeral will be on June 27th. Given this date’s repeating history in my life, and given the current war with Iran, I wonder if there is something else that we might see on this date.

Still alive and kicking; I even started running again.
Put a lot of time into that last post, and the one that I will publish tomorrow. It’s about the use of nuclear weapons around June 27.
When I started this second post, there were no rumors of an Israeli false-flag or a Russian retaliation on NATO. The ceasefire MOU was signed, the Strait of Hormuz were opening, and everything was going to be Kumbaya.
I never believed it for a second.
If something happens on June 27, there are more than a few implications for me personally, and certainly for the rest of the world.
Many thanks JC… You get it. And many thanks to you LOTB for your concern!
I for one can hardly wait to see what happens – because that is scary stuff and yet it’s where the Ukrainians seem to be driving. Be well Stu…
I was thinking about tossing some expired food cans as a part of my current cleaning campaign. Maybe not quite yet. Tolerance of expiration dates is sort of a function of the operating environment. I do know that 2022-expiration date B&M canned bread was a vintage year, even after being forgotten under a pile of boxes in a hot garage for a long time. A little butter and application of the nuke chamber yields a first rate snack.
Thank god stu..I would be mourning right now if it was you.. what you’ve brought all of us is important..The world would be a lesser place…
(“there were no rumors of an Israeli false-flag or a Russian retaliation on NATO. “)
I believed the Nov.11th. may have been the false flag event to ignite the flames..after the Nordstream pipeline was destroyed… NATO nations virtually cut their gas pipelines ..people were scrambling to get heating fuel….then Nigeria NATO and all the EU countries depend on 70% of their oil.The effects of our military defense on the Nigerian country to oust their administration at the time wasn’t has fruitful as we had hoped..the U.S. was not install a “more favorable administration,” and Nigeria did NOT abandon its ties to China or Russia…which left what…The leviathan…off the coast of Gaza…where the Leviathan became a strategically important oil and gas field to the EU because it represents one of the few non Russian, non Middle Eastern gas sources that could diversify Europe’s supply that was eliminated by the Nordstream pipelines destruction…. instead of negotiating a business deal..
Historically Most wars trace directly back to mineral reserves, energy corridors, water access, or strategic geography — even when the public explanation is simply “politics,” “ideology,” or “security,” or” Greed”
Why fight over resources when you could negotiate trade instead?…with the need for the resources and a country that was basically imprisoned by fences not metaphorically, but physically, politically, and economically — by a system of fences, walls, sealed crossings, and coordinated restrictions from both Israel and Egypt….Making them vulnerable to any aggressive country..They cannot flee during conflict…They cannot import enough food, fuel, or medicine..They weren’t able to build a stable economy, or negotiate from a position of strength, they couldn’t diversify alliances or access external protection…..Israel feared Gaza, and Gaza resented Israel, and over decades that fear and resentment hardened into a hostile relationship….Where Israels position and country was developed by the Holocaust and centuries of persecution and
wars with neighboring states, the suicide bombings…
I believe that this created a deep instinct for survival at any cost…Where i believe Gaza’s identity ipwas shaped by…
displacement, ( didnt Gaza believe Israel’s creation basically took their land…Jewish leaders accepted the plan.
Arab leaders rejected it.. )
This i believe created a deep instinct for resistance at any cost…and the creation of radicals … the population of the Palestinian state essentially became refugees from towns and villages that were in what is now Israel….what better false flag could they have.. future energy needs destruction and occupation by seizure of the gaza..like most false flag events we may never know for sure..Vietnam for instance was desirable because of oil off their coast..as well..what was our Vietnam war over oil..about what ten billion barrels worth..Similarly the south China seas importance….

(“Tolerance of expiration dates is sort of a function of the operating environment”)
well N…. “Tolerance of expiration dates is sort of a function of the operating environment.”
Truth is, most expired food isn’t dangerous — the problem is the can. Older cans had thick steel walls and a tough epoxy liner that kept the flavor clean for years…. Modern cans use thinner metal and cheaper coatings that slowly erode, and the contents start absorbing that metallic “old can taste.” The food might still be technically safe, but the flavor is fouled….
Old?school folks didn’t throw it out — they fixed it. You can freeze?dry the contents or retort?can them again to strip the off?flavors and stabilize the food. It’s the same mindset our grandparents used: the food isn’t the issue, the container is. And if you understand the container, you can make almost anything shelf?stable again.

Meanwhile EU President Dr. von der Leyen welcomed Ukrainian PM Mrs. Svyrydenko to Gdansk, Poland for the Conference on the Restoration of Ukraine 2026. The city was formerly known as the Free City of Danzig established by Napoleon in July, 1807, and resurrected in a fashion by The League of Nations from 1920 to 1939.
The Ukrainian PM posted copious updates from the conference of photo ops surrounded by people with power alongside her phalanx of Amazon advisors. One imagines the folder clasped tightly to her bosom may have contained the €3+ billion EU cheque, and a $1.1 billion World Bank cheque backed by the UK and Japan. She thanked her President for his work. Separately she also exchanged detailed working pleasantries with the UAE’s minister of international cooperation, Mrs. al Hashemi. The seated pair blissfully ignored the antlered, bleached stag skull mounted on the meeting room wall.
Meanwhile back in Kyiv, the head of the presidential office, General Budanov, spoke to assembled youth at the Kyiv-Mohyla Academy. In the words of #47, “thank you for your attention to this matter”.
re: “The Poseiden Adventure”, 1972
feat: HMS Queen Mary, 1934
Former London Mayor and past UK PM Boris Johnson has written his weekly column for the “Daily Mail”. The Chinese TikTok platform is mentioned in a teaser byline. This week’s published image of Mr. Johnson last seems to have appeared cropped as it is now in his column of June 23, 2023. On that date he wrote of the tragic journey of the Titan submersible which imploded days earlier on June 18th enroute to the sunken Titanic wreck. Mr. Johnson goes on to offer his reasons “why the world needs risk takers like those on the Titanic (sic) sub”.
Titan is the largest moon circling Saturn whose planetary name reaches us as meaning the Roman god of wealth and agriculture. The moon’s namesake references the 12 Titan gods and goddesses who ruled during the Golden Age prior to their defeat followed by arrival of the Olympians.

The EU’s centre for disease control dashboard informs of 4 cases of CCHF (Congo-Crimean Haemorrhagic Fever) occurring in the 20 years prior 2023. This past Friday an update with data to June 24th informs of a seasonally expected case in Salamanca, Spain at their following web link:
https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/crimean-congo-haemorrhagic-fever/surveillance-and-updates/seasonal
Salamanca existed prior to Roman conquest in 27 b.c. when its Carthaginian name may have derived from Greek meaning a “place of divination”. It comprised one of three major Roman centres in the province of Lusitania. A Lusitanian deity of the period was Endovelicus, “god of public health and safety”. Provincial 20th century Cunard namesake, RMS Lusitania, saw its final voyage torpedoed off Ireland in May, 1915. Apparently Christopher Columbus prepared at Salamanca for his first 1492 voyage to the New World as the Spanish Golden Age launched. Later the future Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon’s forces at the Battle of Salamanca in July, 1812.
Meanwhile Russian media outlet “Shot” advises that 3 patients diagnosed with the CCHF virus are stable under icu care in Kizilyurt, Dagestan. The Russian republic is situated beside the Caspian Sea.

Disclosure Day had remote viewing.
Will Putin finally lose his patience and nuke Ukraine? That’s the $64,000 question, and will it be a full megaton nuke or a tactical nuke?
Good luck over the weekend with Field Day!!

“Will Putin finally lose his patience and nuke Ukraine?”
No.
Russia and Ukraine have at least 1100 years of common ancestry under unified heraldry. If Putin had wanted to conquer all of Ukraine in an all-out war he could have done so in less than two weeks. His goal is to defeat them to free the people in the Eastern provinces from threat of death because they speak Russian, without destroying the land, architecture, history, or people themselves.
“Nukes” is an immature fantasy to every government on the planet, except the neocommunist Muslim terrorists who stole Iran and [who are] currently running it into the ground. If they get a nuke they will use it. If they build those 11 nukes they bragged they could, they would drop one on Tel-Aviv and one on Haifa. They would not nuke Jerusalem because it is a Muslim holy city. The other nine would be to take out 150 million Americans, all down the Eastern Seaboard and CENTCOM in Florida. If you’re a real nuke fan, move to Nofuck…
What if Euro and Ukraine is NATO playing ground for training much like Afgan…no winners…just robbers and in end you are trained and russians are not. What if Iran is USA Navy training as no adversary yet… so same rule..trained is better than equipment… in end you probably win so no war. Peace dividend. Vietnam was much same due to USA politics… up, down, left right…never a winning hand… WW2 was more streamlined due to perception of british that they needed more investment to offset Germany..
whats going on with capos ballroom/spyroom ? probably like the illegal tariff refunds . just swept under the carpet .
Move Veterans Day from November which already has Thanksgiving to August.

You can always spot the great engineers by the simplicity of their solutions, lol.
On The Beach, classic film, comes to mind but only because being up the Creek, far from the sea, and few people around somehow makes our choice to be here feel ‘safer’. We talk often about getting back to smaller islands, mostly about just getting offshore.
Keep the boat ready is #1.
Sadly as a country, the problems of the world are intruding into what seemed in the recent memory, not the case. How wrong we were.
Dug up the geiger counter and put batteries in. Didn’t like the feeling.

For LEN and the rest: No, my ‘hotspots’ have not cooled. They have gotten hotter. The volcano’s predicted eruption has not yet happened as of Fri. evening when I write this. The vent is boiling all day as the pressure continues to build. It could spray a thousand foot fountain some time tonight or tomorrow before GU approves this post for you to see. But you can watch it live here:

The eruptions are confined to the summit caldera and observable from a safe distance at the rim. No danger to life or property. We have the world’s only ‘Drive-In Volcano’. It is a tame shield volcano, not an explosive subduction volcano like the rest of the Pacific ‘Ring of fire’.
wow hank . might i say a pretty exciting place where you live . never a dull moment . anyway you have managed it for a long time . my only experience was 2017 in mt etna . one day on the mountain , and in a lava cave tour . next day it erupted . fascinating stuff those volcanos . stay safe mate
