T. A. Sahsnotasvriunt's depiction of a sentient hill, a bearded man with trees growing on his head as he sits thinking
Extreme weather in Nordic lore is caused by Thurses, chaotic nature spirits that cause great shifts in the natural world. These include Jotnar, the giants, and if the name isn't obvious, Thor himself: Thor's mother is the Earth. #WyrdWednesday

A continent that's condemning a regime while supporting another regime that's breaking every rule we agreed upon since 1945. What a faรงade.
Even during the "ceasefire", the Israelis are still demolishing entire villages in southern Lebanon with armored bulldozers. In fact, civilian contractors hired by the army receive pay which is based on the number of buildings destroyed.
Schumer voted against blocking the sale of these bulldozers.

Matthew Meyer's depiction of two kodama, whose tree form are thin skeletal trees with sparse greenage, and whose human form are two old people, one an old man in Buddhist-esque robes and a broom to clean its own leaves with, and a hunched over old woman with her own broom doing much the same.
If a tree reaches 100 years of age, its soul develops the ability to manifest out of its body. In Japan this is called a Kodama (ๆจ้), a tree with a manifesting spirit. What form they take varies, and they can defend their forest with force. #FolkloreSunday

I think we should have done a lot more for Ukraine within the frame that shaped over they years..
I am not sure about Nato, i dont know enough about it. I do think the Treaty Ukraine had with U.S may have created a false sense of time and security.
Op 3 juni 2015 bombardeerde een Nederlandse F-16 een wapenfabriek in Hawija. In de naastgelegen woonwijk kwamen 85 burgers om het leven. Het ministerie van Defensie houdt vol dat ze niet aansprakelijk is en negeert bewijsstukken van de Iraakse slachtoffers buff.ly/H3GYLL9
Ukraine isn't part of Nato or EU.
There was a treaty in the ninetees where they gave up their entire nuclear arsenal for guaranteed unlimited aid by U.S if they would be invaded.. As for Europe: Russia practically assured nuclear fire if we would intervene physically.
May have to do with Iran not pretending to be a 1st world country with western morals and values.
