The Bucharest Agreement of 1994 📜 I hear a lot of incorrect information around the exact borders of Ukraine and what are responsibility is to protect them for surrendering their nukes. --> "The United States of America, the Russian Federa- tion, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Welcoming the accession of Ukraine to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons as a non- nuclear-weapon State, Taking into account the commitment of Ukraine to eliminate all nuclear weapons from its territory within a specified period of time, Noting the changes in the world-wide security situ- ation, including the end of the Cold War, which have brought about conditions for deep reductions in nuclear forces. Confirm the following: 1. The United States of America, the Russian Fed- eration, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE [Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe] Final Act, to respect the Independence and Sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine. 2. The United States of America, the Russian Fed- eration, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their obligation to refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial in- tegrity or political independence of Ukraine, and that none of their weapons will ever be used against Ukraine except in self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations. 3. The United States of America, the Russian Fed- eration, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE EIR February 21, 2014 Final Act, to refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind. 4. The United States of America, the Russian Fed- eration, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm their commitment to seek immediate United Nations Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine, as a non-nuclear-weapon State Party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, if Ukraine should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggres- sion in which nuclear weapons are used. 5. The United States of America, the Russian Fed- eration, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, reaffirm, in the case of the Ukraine, their commitment not to use nuclear weapons against any non-nuclear-weapon State Party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, except in the case of an attack on themselves, their territories or dependent territories, their armed forces, or their allies, by such a state in association or alliance with a nuclear weapon state. 6.The United States of America, the Russian Fed- eration, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland will consult in the event a situation arises which raises a question concerning these com- mitments. This Memorandum will become applicable upon signature. Signed in four copies having equal validity in the English, Russian and Ukrainian languages."

I don't know what to say....
A 37m long cat has been lying on a Peruvian hillside for 2000 years. This isn’t some fantasy creature, but an ancient art example called a Geoglyph. Archaeologists stumbled upon it doing refurbishment work on the famous Nazca Lines : Situated south Lima, Peru; Nazca Lines were crafted over hundreds of years. Stretching for approx 50 miles between towns of Nazca and Palpa, area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was discovered in 1927 by native history hunter Toribio Mejia Xesspe. Geoglyphs are made by removing pebbles, revealing what Science Alert describes as a “yellow grey soil” below. In this case someone etched the profile of a feline body, with lines ranging from 30-40cm. The head faces out. The animal displays “pointy ears, orb-like eyes and a long striped tail”. The style suggests the Paracas people, who lived there between 800-100 BC. It’s believed the cat hails from late Paracas period. They were succeeded by Nazca, who also made geoglyphs. However, there are notable differences. Paracas are known for depicting cats for instance, alongside birds and humans. Ceramics and textiles show feline renderings. News agency Efe talks with chief archaeologist Johny Isla. Quoting his remarks, their article notes, “while the figures of the Nazca culture are made ‘by men for the gods,’ those of the Paracas ‘are of men for men’.” What does this mean ? While no-one knows what the geoglyphs represent, many are so enormous they can only be spotted from the air. It stands to reason they were intended for a god’s eye view. Another theory claims them to be astronomical markers. Paracas don’t appear to have etched glyphs for Almighty. Nevertheless, that kind of POV is easily achievable today thanks to drones. Indeed, cat was noticed with the help of one. Experts are lucky to have found the cat when they did. In a statement, Peru’s Ministry of Culture says geoglyph was “about to disappear due to its location on a fairly steep slope and the effects of natural erosion.” The slope in question is the Mirador Natural, a place where lines converge, making it an ideal choice for a viewing platform. Workers were in the process of sorting that out when the cat made an unexpected appearance. The archaeology team then spent a week cleaning up the find. Despite using stone, these creations are fragile. “The authorities said that even a stray footprint could mar the fragile grounds”. Visitors have been kept at a distance during the pandemic, with the Lines due to open again to the public next month. Another factor leading to the cat surviving a couple of thousands years is climate. The Lines benefit from a lack of heavy weather and are relatively undisturbed by the elements. Isla is hopeful for the future, with advances in technology meaning experts no longer have to squint from an aircraft. Quoted by Euronews he says, “there are new ones and we will continue to find more.” In recent times around 100 have been spotted in the Nazca and Palpa valleys. Some think certain geoglyphs go beyond the ancient world. As The Guardian mentions, one is thought to resemble an astronaut. Talking of space, it’s also believed ET may have worked on the Lines before he phoned home. All That’s Interesting writes the humans may have received “extraterrestrial instructions”, making “landing strips and runways for alien spacecraft, or to attract aliens with images big enough to be visible from space.” Until the aliens arrive to support those ideas, the Lines and Geoglyphs of Nazca and Palpas – officially named in 2016 – will continue to fascinate and perplex inquiring minds. #archaeohistories

Had the US bill to up our industrial capability of ammunition not been stalled in Congress for like a year that need for infantry now would probably not be nearly so acute but that's in the past. Industrial capacity also follows right behind that and in Ukraine that means artillery, shells, small arms and drones, TNT.

I'd love to see the fullback back! Turn Jahiem Bell into one if possible then you can throw to him as well. Parcells OC had some nice stuff with Kevin Turner(GB) and Leroy Thompson(RB) where they could run or throw out of that formation one year and they were very productive. Guys moved on and that was before the popularity of the slot receiver but I'd love to see some of that back and Jahiem can catch the ball.

@nonregemesse That's for sure! And to think they thought he was some kind of bum at first. Go figure....

We have been saying that for a long time. But the assertion that they haven't been doing anything is wrong. Most are now at 2% that was requested whereas in 2016 most weren't. there have been large numbers of orders for F35's and Poland is building a M1 factory. Both Sweden and Finland have joined NATO which radically changes posture and front lines and with Finland AF really upgrades NATO's combat capability. They still need to do much more but rebuilding an industrial base does not happen overnight even for us. It is *not* 2016.

@Mylovanov It's truly amazing how it has shifted back and forth and then people talk as if the reality of how it happened is totally forgotten. I was reading pieces that were saying that although terrible we just had to let it happen.

So that leaves us with 5 players who are either the overall consensus top pick in the draft or at their position who would all be welcome additions to the Patriots and I would love to see here. Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter, Will Campbell, Mason Graham and Tet McMillan and we pick at number 4! Nice! We win no mater what!

@MoveTheSticks Can play 0 through 5 technique, one gap or two gap, disruptive. Could have him and Barmore rush up the middle and even kick him out to DE. Then the Pats could find a speedy Edge later.
