Discussions and reasoning about the fate and future appearance of cities, with rare exceptions, take place in two planes — “bright future” and “dystopia”. This is especially evident in that part of such reasoning that spills out to the masses through cinema, literature, computer games. Cities of the “bright future” are: — “human scale”, — interaction […]

The 1st rank cruiser was ordered from the William Crump and Sons shipyard in the USA. 129 meters, excellent armored deck, 12 guns 152 mm. Kane system, speed 23.2 knots. By the way, the speed made it absolutely inaccessible for any Japanese cruisers at sea — you can’t catch up (and you can’t run away […]

In 1898, the far-sighted politicians of Nicholas II and the Tsar himself cleverly squeezed the Liaodong Peninsula with the port of Luyoshun (aka Port Arthur) from the allied China, whose territorial integrity we were supposedly going to protect. A short race to the Russo-Japanese War began. Arthur, as an ice-free harbor, was supposed to be […]

Political monster Donald Trump, the great intuitive and perennial lucky guy, misses more and more often and more stupidly. Well, tell me, why was it necessary to throw ULTIMATE words at Iran: we demand “unconditional surrender”, “your Supreme Leader is in our sights”, you have 60 days to “sign a deal”, you have your last […]

Thrushes were a ‘fast food’ for the Romans in imperial cities, rather than an exclusive banquet delicacy. A study published in the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology analysed the remains of thrushes found in the toilet of a fast food establishment from the first century BCE in the ancient Roman town of Pollentia on the island […]

The death of the last pillars of the big Western press. Something incredible is happening to the leading American media. Even in publications that were previously considered reputable, like the Wall Street Journal, in the “Opinions” or “From the Editor” sections, outright low-grade “custom-made” material is published almost daily. These materials are most likely generously […]

When the left agree with the right in calling not to participate in war. Donald Trump can join neither. And the establishment is waiting for him in the center. It is worth noting that the mainstream press and high-ranking Democrats have so far remained silent about the exchange of blows between Israel and Iran. Under […]

The night strike and the ultimatum from Israel put the Islamic Republic, the Middle East and the whole world before a choice. And all the options are bad. The Israeli Air Force, apparently, focused last night not even on nuclear facilities, but on air defense systems and command. According to the IDF, Iran’s air defenses, […]

The goal is to replace them with new ones and “restore public confidence in vaccination.” Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. has decided to fire the entire Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). The current contracts of all 17 council members would have ended in 2028. Kennedy promised that the move would increase […]

Much has been written about the fact that international law no longer works. At least the collective West allows itself to do what it considers beneficial for itself at the moment, referring to a “world based on rules”. These include anti-Russian sanctions, and the freezing of our gold and foreign exchange reserves, and, in fact, […]
