What's Up with Ron DeSantis' Objection to USA-NATO Military Aid to Russian Invaded Ukraine, With Him Advising that USA Take Care of the USA?

Like eliminate:

Social Security insurance retirement, Medicare, Medicaid, Obamacare, food stamps, public K-12 school meals ("the socialism" ((social safety net and lifeline for modest and low-income people, of whom there are scores of millions in the USA, the minimum wage and income taxes, which pay for the physical, public-saftey and public-health public infrastructure)) DeSantis decries and croaks so much about, along with woke, in his public speeches); diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI), which he has baselessly tied in a news comment by him as causal for the string of bank failure in the USA over the week of 03-06-2023 to 03-12-2023; truth and reality in educational/history content and in educational, sports and employment access, hiring

and advancement, he has admonished and called for their end; restrictions on the types of guns, ammo and accessories purchases, ownership, age access and public carry; and the public voices, independent data gathering and analysis and exercise of public-health decision making of state and local government medical and disease experts and authorities.

Elimination of the social safety net, initiated by the FDR New Deal economic program of 1933 and 1935, and income taxes, established by the 16th amendment in 1913, has been the explicit agenda of the conservative big-money core of the Republican Party since the origin of each of them, especially during the later part of the 1929 to 1939 Great Depression, inherited by the Democratic Party FDR administration from the GOP President Herbert Hoover administration, with emphasis then on the elimination of the FDR New Deal upon the origin of the New Deal poverty and unemployment relief and national economic stimulus programs of the President Franklin D. Roosevelt administration, from 1933-1945, but an agenda rejected by the GOP US presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon, Ronald W. Reagan and Donald J. Trump, which is why it is no longer a consensus but is a publicly unequivocal agenda within the GOP, and, moreover, because as so it is a political-elections losing agenda with each the Democratic Party voters overall, a majority of independent voters and a majority of the current voters of the GOP. To get rid of the social safety net, the big-money power factors of the GOP must do so administratively, legislatively, via the US Congress and a compliant president, or one whose veto of the legislation the GOP would need to have the majority membership numbers in Congress or would need to muster enough bipartisan votes in Congress to override the presidential veto. The GOP membership of the House of Representatives in Congress has regularly tried to use the annual federal budget funding proceedings and negotiations, and the threat of a government shutdown or an actual shutdown, to induce the Democrats in Congress and the Democratic Party president to do this dirty deed for them and take the political fallout blame for doing so, needless to say, unsuccessfully, (1) The Democrats on Twitter: "Mitt Romney said he’s “not aware” of any Republican officials who want to cut Social Security. We pulled the receipts for you, @MittRomney. https://t.co/VHmlKD9Xql" / Twitter.  The GOP has pursued its objective of getting rid of federal income taxes by modifying that objective and chipping away at them by federal legislative tax loopholes, deductions, credits and special rates, tax cuts after tax cuts, etc., favoring foremost or primarily the high-income class and powerful and big-money corporations rather than by improbably, or impossibly, trying to repeal the federal income tax 16th amendment law to the US Constitution, which is why the campaigns of most Republican Party nominee US presidential candidates campaign for reducing federal income taxes and why members of the high-wealth class and major corporations pay little or no tax.  As long as those making income of $500,000.00 and less yearly pay the bulk of the taxes for socialism they have come to like such as public and/or funded roads and highways, street lighting at night, sewage and electrification systems and a dominant in power national defense and imperial military, benefitting themselves, they are amenable to an income tax system to support these and little else.  They will rail against the sight of the social and public blight and nuisance, for them and the stable haves of society, homeless populations, many within which are working homeless persons and their families unable to afford rental residences with their insufficient and meager wages, pensions, or other income, of most major cities and many towns of the USA and blame them for their plight, yet stand against affordable housing, mandatory employee versus and over non-benefits poorly paid gig worker status, adequate wages, guaranteed public retirement pensions, supplemental public assistance and medical, dental and mental-health care for them.

And like to unimpede:

"His attempt" by bluff federally unconstitutional laws and state governor executive orders and fines to command and overrule federally constitutionally protected, and independent from government control, private-enterprise, freedom-of-the press and freedom-of-speech publications media and platforms and their user-subscriber policies and rules; likewise to curb federally constitutionally-protected public protests, of black Americans, by authorizing [racist, antidemocracy] persons to strike them with their automobiles when they enter and walk through public street crosswalks between sidewalks... ... ... ...and by his mantra croaking campaign about and against woke (apparently, the green economy and transition from fossil fuels to clean, renewable fuels and user tech, industry, infrastructure and homes and building, egalitarianism, DEI, empathyism in working to aggressively reduce and end homelessness and poverty, while not blaming the victims of these for their plight, tax fairness and accountability for the rich and big business) in the attempt to slur the positive meaning of the word woke (commonly meaning socially, spiritually-morally/ethically and intellectually awake, enlightened and fair) and to weaponize it and adversarially misapply it to his social and political counterparts to try to socially and politically smear, discredit, marginalize and defeat the social-justice and clean-energy-economy cause movements.

In his head, by this, he might think he would be able to resume illegal interstate human trafficking by plane and bus loads, on a grand scale, of undocumented immigrants, or unauthorized immigrants, into the USA who made their way to his home state of Florida, from out of Florida and to west-coast and northeastern cities, especially those with black mayors, although he has been reported in the news to be bemoaned about and feeling envious of Texas Governor Greg Abbott because his state of Texas has a border with Mexico, the primary entry location of undocumented immigrants into the USA, whereas his home state of Florida does not a border with Mexico, depriving him of the justification to complain, politically dramatize about and demagog the undocumented Latin America immigrant problem to the extent and in the fashion Government Abbott has.

This BS-headed bullfrog of a man might even believe that the defeat and takeover of Ukraine by the Russian armed forces, as a result of a cutoff of [robust] USA and NATO military aid to Ukraine for resisting and repelling the Russian armed forces invasion and war of occupation, conquest and takeover of Ukraine, or large and politically-economically geo-strategically significant parts of it, would clear the news media of news stories on this war distracting to his BS, evidentiary-baseless, spurious croaking that the Silvergate Bank, Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank failures of the week of 03-06-2023 to 03-12-2023 were because of DEI, diversity, equality and inclusion [policies], and not the latent kick-in effects of GOP deregulation (by GOP Trump presidential and Congressional MAGA-deregulation policies and legislative stripping down the Dodd-Frank Act, intended to prevent banking and corporate corruption and major financial failures, during the Trump presidency) again of banks and industry, as was the case for them in the 1986 and 2008 S&L and banking and financial services corruptions and mass failures under other GOP presidencies, that were monopoly dominated by non-DEI, non-diversity-equality-and-inclusion, executive leadership, in which DEI (diversity, equality and inclusion) is an organizational philosophy and practice that opposes discrimination and exclusion on the basis/bases race, ethnicity, religion and gender.

Maybe somehow in his bleeping, unwoke, sleep-croaking head he might imagine it would permit him to host more booze-drinking parties with underage high-school girls.

Reply of Explanation to Critic of Convergent Evolution

Feedback to Critic of Convergent Evolution

I received a comment on the forum Eons concerning the extinct saber-toothed big cat species (saber-toothed tigers) saying that convergent evolution of its saber teeth or like features by other, different species of that species' era of existence could not have miraculously evolved the same or a similar trait and that convergent evolution essentially is a fraud and indoctrination. I replied to him in depth about how convergent evolution works and is a fact and to the overall forum separately and compactly with the following commentary:

 

 "Coincidence/co-in-cidence, also co-incidence, in reference to convergent morphology, being convergent evolution, occurs naturally on varying scales throughout nature, such as with the different cell species of the eukaryote type cell having a common cellular structure versus the different cell species of the prokaryote type cell having a different than the former but common structure, and with atoms regardless of their atomic species, element kind and atomic number, having a same organization and structure, for all by force of cosmological, evolutionary circumstantial nature. The convergent evolution of saber teeth, tusks, fangs and horns, etc., in different species, is initially, in their environmental as well as more specialized competitive and integrative ecological contexts or niches, natural-selection survivally adaptive strategy outcomes by and for different species.  In the wild, overall evolution, as well as convergent evolution, proceeds by, 1. “beneficial mutations,” like light or dark skin color resulting from, and differentially functionally better compatible with, cold and lower-light versus hot and sunny climate (thermal and light exposure, amplitude and intensity conditions), 2. "circumstantial mutations that may be neutral, positive or negative" that are induced and distributed widely in a population segment of a species by its breeding isolation and insularity over many generations of offspring from the rest of its [general direct source] species, 3. “adaptations” (anatomical, physiological, somatic, or body or body-part, change brought about in the body by the bodies of the organism species acclimating ((in all regards, including biochemically and microbiomically)), adjusting  and survivally fitting the species into the environment or ecological niche of its habitation or operation, or both -- change agents that in the wild include local animal species culture in which, in particular, the change related consequential gainful, rewarding and successful environmentally interactive behaviors or practices of the species of organism or their bodies become normative, generationally, and can spread within the species to other distant locations), such as, in contrast to our great ape species cousins ((chimpanzees, bonobos, gorillas and orangutans, gibbons, which have four hands or four hand-feet, Photos of the feet of the great apes - Yahoo Image Search Results, 704 Ape Foot Stock Photos, Images & Photography | Shutterstock)), non-hand-feet, in which the fingers and thumb of horizontally locomoting quadrupedal  great-ape back feet-hands (gradually configure or reconfigure and change/develop) into toes, on bipedal, upright locomoting or ambulating (walking, skipping, hopping, jumping and running) primates, hominins, inclusive of humans, better for long-distance running and enabling hominin and humans’ front arms and hands, freed from locomoting the body quadrupedally upon the ground and gripping trees, or their parts, to routinely carry things, make and handle things, importantly, tools and weapons, and to hunt, fish, work, gather, accumulate and stock or store things, and 4. “general, not exclusive, reproductive preference,” hierarchically, for individuals best able to survive (including to fight), function, do, compete, get, produce and thrive associated with the trait/s produced in them by the environment and by their competitively, etc., advantaged physical, behavioral, performance and skill (including talent propensity, like musical ability as observed in the dancing displays of some bird and lizard species, singing in bird species, and singing and dancing in all human races and ethnicities, with tiers of talent across the individuals, and like fighting ability for most species, with tiers and scales of baseline ability across individuals) set of biologically hereditary and experientially acquired traits, ontogenic endowment, or such individual-differences trait profile, in scales or variations and gradations of the traits of the body and its parts and the idiosyncratic design inflections or subtlties of these.  This state of affairs does not mean that low reproduction preference individuals do not get to mate and reproduce but that higher and highest preference males and females get more mating and reproduction opportunities and dominance as well as wherewithal and opportunity to better privilege their offspring in species populations, in general.  These forces of evolution, in the case of convergent evolution, account for the ability to fly with wings of diverse species such as most birds, bats, dragonflies, queen ants, butterflies, moths, honey and bumble bees, wasps, fireflies, common flies, mosquitoes, praying mantises, etc. There is also a species of near-flight flying squirrels whose individuals sail in the air, with a kite-like modification of their bodies while doing so, from tree to tree, Photos of flying squirrels - Yahoo Image Search Results , Photos of flying squirrels - Yahoo Search Results ,"

Check out: https://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images;_ylt=Awr9zMhdnexj3bcEu49XNyoA;_ylu=Y29sbwNncTEEcG9zAzMEdnRpZAMEc2VjA3Nj?p=Ocean+animals+with+tusks&fr=yfp-t#id=2&iurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.britannica.com%2F45%2F76045-050-BE6E2127%2Fwalrus-males-tusks-females.jpg&action=click.

One might even be able to scientifically classify the extinct saber-toothed big cat's saber teeth as tusks, that by interactive gender attractiveness dynamics eventually became therein evolutionarily high-preference in desirability, to the female saber-toothed cats, traits (ornamentally so more than practically) for natural-selection reproductive mating and breeding, apparently like the tusks of walruses and two-tusked narwhals are now.

However, when such traits become ornamental (become functionally autonomous, such as ornamentally or aesthetically highly valued and divorced from the survival and perpetuation of the species) and survivability disadvantaged, they can contribute or lead to the extinction of the species. 

 

Saber teeth of the saber-toothed big cats may have gradually developed and culminated initially in these cats into an adaptation of extraordinarily competitive and effective defensive and attack fighting and hunting dagger teeth that by having been external and large were also scary and intimidating to ferocious competitor predator species, conferring predatory free reign to them, apart from with same species predation and reproductive mating-rights competitors, as well as special power status and sexual-mating desirability and attractiveness for them within the species and therein priority in breeding preference rights commensurate with their size, increasing them by sex and breeding selection much further to excessive and purposefully impractical size, though they may have remained frightening as tusks and have been more frightening in their oversize, as perceived external saber or fanged teeth, to competitor predator species.  Even if they became less deadly with their mouths, they would probably have known and been able to hunt and fight as well as maul and kill with their powerful legs-arms and deadly big-cat claws.  The tusks of large tusked animals of our era, such as of elephants on land and walruses in oceans, especially when they are in groups, may be perceived as scary to and intimidate or make cautious predator species, as may the external fanged teeth of musk deer,  Musk deer - Yahoo Image Search Results, and multiple species of vampire deer, Vampire Deer Facts (why some deer have fangs) - World Deer ,  Vampire Deer Exist: These Musk Deer With Fangs Are Terrifyingly Cute - The Dodo. 

 

In brief, biological evolution is the biological structural modification (gradual or incremental, cumulative genomic and morphological) of a species with the reproductive descent of the species over long time spans of many generations, in its interaction with and its, via its members and their individual differences in physical and functional traits (individual difference endowments), ability to negotiate and adapt to and survive and thrive in the environment, or its ecological niche, through the multifactorial circumstantial processes of environmental and reproductive natural selection.  Mutagenic and bio-adaptive change, and therefore, evolution, takes place in bacteria and viruses very rapidly in comparison to multicellular and such complex organisms.  Behavior, or behavioral training, in itself, that does not systemically and systematically impact on, generationally, and change the anatomy and physiology and that has not biologically stabilized, or anchored, that change of a species, has not been proven to be [linearly or reliably] heritable and evolutionary for the offspring of mere individuals or family lineages, though it may be facilitated and optimized for them by social nurture. However, mass-scale majority-population exposure to a critical level and duration of radiation, chemical-toxin or deleterious-microbial or pathogenic agent...   

 

 

The Midterm National Elections of 11-08-2022 Are Also A Referendum on the Do or Don't Candidacy of Donald Trump in the 2024 US Presidential Election

The Midterm National Elections of 11-08-2022 Are Also A Referendum on the Do or Don't Candidacy of Donald Trump in the 2024 US Presidential Election

Trump is publicly airing the possibility that he might run for the US presidency again in the 2024 US presidential election because he has been investing heavily with his endorsements of and campaigns in behalf of GOP US candidates running for elective high-level state and federal office, especially for US senator and HR representative office, in the national elections of November 8, 2022, and wants to gauge his believed impact on those elections, based on the count of GOP election gains and losses in them. If the GOP wins a majority in one or both of the houses of the US Congress, or if a significant majority, or maybe a majority, of the candidates he has endorsed and campaigned for are elected to the offices for which they were candidates, he will soon after these elections officially declare his candidacy for the US presidency in the forthcoming US presidential election of 2024. He is feeling cautiously confident that these elections will generally favor the GOP in wins and is announcing his personal interest now in the 2024 US presidential election to motivate his GOP voter base to vote Republican and vote preferably for the GOP candidates he has endorsed in the 2022 elections of November the 8th -- in other words, he is working to get out or turn out his voter base. The national general elections of November 8, 2022 are a referendum on whether or not Trump is sufficiently politically competitive and should run for the US presidency, again, in 2024.

 

Defund and vote dump the garbage-dump GOP and Donald Trump!

Advice of New Guy On High at Twitter that “Shared Power Curbs Worst Excesses of Both Parties, So Vote for a Republican Congress, given the Presidency is Democratic,” Is a Flawed Nostrum

Concerning today’s midterm national elections, the advice of the new guy on high at Twitter that “Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic,” is a flawed nostrum.

Since and beginning with the election of Barack Obama as US president in 2008, the Republican Party Congressional members in both houses of the US Congress have founded and adhered to the politically partisan strategy and practice of relentless gridlock against and obstruction of legislative initiatives, with the exceptions of tax cuts, cuts of or to social spending, or benefits to primarily the fossil fuels companies and big business, of the Democratic Party member US president to deprive the Democratic Party member US president of legislative successes and achievements that could boost the political popularity and reelectability of the Democratic Party member President and/or the electability of other Democratic Party member public office incumbents or debut candidates for public office -- this Republican strategy sprouted its roots in the Democratic Party Bill Clinton presidency, elected in November of 1992 and reelected in November of 1996.

Furthermore, a democracy or true republic (which is a representative democracy with democratic administrative and parliamentary governance processes, protocols and laws that govern the representatives) does not internally nor should in external alliances share power with invader-colonizer, dictatorial, autocratic, oligarchical, fascist, authoritarian, totalitarian, NAZI pigmentocracy, racist, ethnocentric, theocentric discriminatory and apartheid regimes. The GOP now embodies the autocratic, oligarchical, fascist, authoritarian, NAZI and racist sentiments and conduct of these.

In paraphrase of the words of GOP US Congressional members and a recently departed very popular GOP-promoter radio talk-show personality, after Obama took office as US president in January of 2009, the said GOP strategy was intended to make the Obama presidency a failed one from start to finish in his first term, which, against the odds for Obama, it did not from then to over the whole of his reelection second term.

Defund and vote dump the garbage-heap GOP and Donald Trump.

The GOP's Sham but Effective Slanderous Issue of Rising Crime Under Democratic Party Elected Governance Leadership

The GOP's Sham but Effective Slanderous Issue of Rising Crime Under Democratic Party Elected Governance Leadership

The GOP sham-issue campaign of crime increase under Democratic Party elected leadership governance is a stable one for the GOP in which even though crime rates nationally have overall declined under the Democratic Party leadership Clinton, Obama and Biden presidencies compared to and over those of their GOP predecessor and successor presidencies, nevertheless crime, and egregious crime, from household crime and street crime to organizational and institutional crime and to commercial crime and white-collar crime of all kinds, of individual and group, folks white, pink, black, brown, tan, yellowish and red, men, women, adolescent and child, lowly and highly educated, and of no to high wealth perpetrators, occurs across all presidencies and in all cities and towns all of the time, making crime and the issue of crime an alway available politically demagogic issue of attack at any time against a Democratic Party president, governor, mayor, attorney general, district attorney or sheriff who does not fight back informationally and in informational political campaigns with the truth-establishing facts.  

The shocking new mode and trend of the crime of smash and grab, grab and dash, and mob and grab at jewelry, high-end boutique and department stores, typically recorded on store cameras and televised and picture printed in newspaper and online news, has wrongly become associated in much of the public mind with slack public governance and law-enforcement by and under elected governance officials of the Democratic Party.  The naive and impractical slogan of "Defund the police," a slogan in disregard of crime being universal and endemic to human society and in defiance of overwhelming commonsense, asserted by GOP activists and political candidate critics of the Democratic Party as being the ideology and an agenda point of the Democratic Party is another falsehood that has hurt the Democratic Party, which does not represent the politics and historical political tactics of the organization that coined it.  Both of these issues have been misassociated with and pinned on the Democratic Party and hurt the election bids of an important number or many of its candidates for elective offices.  

While there are always fluctuations in crime rates in which there will or may be a periodic or current critical-level increase in a particular type or number of types of crime as well as against a particular demographic subpopulation of victims or set of such demographic victims, overall crime rates may not increase or may decline. 

(Most of the people of the USA probably realize or know that the indeed real spike in violent attacks and harassment of US citizens and visitors in the US of Far Eastern Asian physical identity is tied to the public rhetoric in mockery and disparagement of China and Chinese culture that was repeatedly uttered by President Trump in his apparent reaction of upset to the investigative finding that the COVID-19 pandemic originated in the Peoples Republic of China (PRC), as well as to conspiracies stories widely circulated in the US by right-wingers that the COVID-19 virus was a biological warfare agent or test agent created in the PRC and was deliberately or accidentally released from a microbiology lab in the PRC.)

Democratic Party candidates, fight back now and henceforth with the facts, the data. I have read and heard the facts on crime in the news ongoingly now and for decades leading to now.

The staple GOP campaign game is to slander Democratic Party elective governance and law-enforcement office candidates as being weak on crime control and punishment (while the GOP and its elected officials and candidates for elective public office almost unanimously oppose legislating, at any level of government, the banning of military featured and grade semiautomatic guns, accessories and munitions characteristically used in massacre murders that have become routine in the USA), to routinely offer tax reductions, favoring the rich and big business (their premium, most valued political money donors), at the expense of public health and services support for the socioeconomically displaced and indigent, with contempt and insensitivity toward homeless women, children, adolescents, men, the disabled, the sick and elderly, and at the neglect of public infrastructure left to decay, and at the sacrifice of and taxation of Social Security pensions, to in part pay for the tax cuts by federal budget-management offsets, to blame Democratic Party elected officials for excessive taxing and social, as opposed to military, spending, and to blame elected Democratic Party public governance officials for undocumented immigration [of primarily nonwhite people], a problem they have done nothing about legislatively when they were able to with their combined presidential and both Congressional houses control, most recently under the expressively anti-Mexican Trump presidency (maybe because duplicitously while they complain about undocumented immigration to their grass-roots xenophobic constituency, they also want to keep a supply of subminimum wage, with no fringe benefits, undocumented immigrants and workers, with unrecognized legal rights in GOP-governed and controlled states, coming, when needed, and finding their way to certain GOP-governed and controlled states and businesses wanting their labor).

Incidentally, the inflated gas, utilities-energy and food prices are the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic-related national social and business down-scaling and shutdowns, on a global basis, begun and mismanaged under the Trump presidency for the US, drastically reducing employment, and the production of goods and their shipment to retailers and customers, resulting in shortages of goods relative to the local and global consumer demand and competition for them, and from the Putin regime of Russia and its OPEC partner nations reducing the supply of oil and gas to NATO member nations and the USA, driving up the price of the supplies of them available in these nations. This inflation and these inflated prices are not the cause of the Biden presidency.

 

 

 

The Solution to Ridding and Replacing Fossil Fuels as the Baseload Fuel Energy Source: Deed-Ground Geothermal Power

The Solution to Ridding and Replacing Fossil Fuels as the Baseload Fuel Energy Source: Deed-Ground Geothermal Power (Click on: https://www.fastcompany.com/90717968/these-12-mile-deep-holes-could-convert-power-plants-from-fossil-fuel-to-geothermal)

The real solution to "human-caused" atmospheric CO2, plus, fossil-fuels pollution and planetary crisis climate change, which is the primary cause of these atmospheric, meteorological damages to our planet and natural common home, is the replacement of fossil fuels for our electrical and other thermal energy sources with the gamut of renewable, clean energy sources, and, specifically, high-heat-depth, deep-ground terrestrial and marine geothermal electrical energy source generation as the new baseload source in replacement of all fossil fuels and nuclear electricity-generating power plants. The extreme heat at 12-mile down and more depth/s is impervious to terrestrial and atmospheric weather and climatic conditions, is absolutely stable naturally, and is virtually boundless in that it will last for most of the lifetime of the Earth's molten core, approximately 5-billion more years. If Mars and our planet's moon still have hot cores or deep-ground active volcanoes, geothermal electricity generation, to supply human settlements and colonization, can be established on them, along with solar, wind-turbine, ice-conversion hydro and human sewage and food-waste, etc., biomass converted by biodigesters to electricity or environmentally sequestered methane gas for heating and cooking. Furthermore, there is no need for nuclear power plants, with their constant production, accumulation and need to questionably containerize and stockpile and dump environmentally and biologically poisonous and dangerous as well as millennia-long-life radioactive waste, on Earth or on human settlements on other worlds since fossil fuels would be appropriate, except for the planets Venus and much or most of Mercury, for contributing to the geochemical engineering and maintenance of substantial weather-system and climatic atmospheres on them (terraforming them, primarily extremely cold, frigid or frozen, desolate worlds) and would tend to be abundantly naturally present on them in their CO2, plus, ice and regolith or soil, if not also their subsurface lakes, seas and oceans, in addition to providing human settlements on them with artificial heat and electricity resources, together with the electrical and heating power natural resources on them from wind and solar power and water-ice-melt conversion to hydropower, also abundantly present on them virtually always in some mix, and with geothermal source power, including from surface and subsurface volcanos apart from and together with the hot cores of other worlds, for generating electricity and heat. Deep-ground, terrestrial and marine, geothermal source electricity should become the new baseload electrical and heating power source for world humanity starting immediately. Deep-ground geothermal power is naturally stable, disruption resistant or impervious and virtually unlimited as a fuel energy source for generating electricity and heat. The geothermal energy technology and companies are already available to implement this change, upon paying demand.

Putin’s Military Strategy of the Moment in Ukraine

Putin’s Military Strategy of the Moment in Ukraine, as of October of 2022

Russian President Vladimir Putin needs to keep the presence of large numbers of soldiers in the war arena in Ukraine even if they are losing overall or in general, but attacking and having some successes, if only for show and to intimidate and harass the Ukrainian government, population and armed forces, to stress them -- along with their mission [to try] to hold onto and undertake more of their commanded land thefts from [the territory of] Ukraine. The bombing and shelling of Ukrainian municipalities, or urban centers, and towns and villages, civilian habitations, by the armed forces of Russia and their collaborators under the command and direction of the Putin political-military regime of Russia are meant to degrade and demolish their habitability and thereby inflict intolerable survival-related deprivation and suffering, as well as societal disorganization, chaos, panic, despair and flight, on the civilian population of Ukraine, the bulk of the Ukrainian populace and voting citizenry, stress them and the political leadership of Ukraine at all levels of society into longing for peace and to surrender to the Russian regime for a cessation of and relief from such hostilities against and destruction of Ukraine, as well as into rebelling against their top national political and military leaders prosecuting a war against the invader Russian armed forces of Ukrainian sovereign territory.

In major part, these attacks on civilian population centers may be intended to turn the civilian population against the Zelensky presidency of Ukraine and to oust Ukrainian President Zelensky in the next Ukrainian election, or before then, and elect or install an alternative candidate for the office of president of Ukraine who would be eager to negotiate an end of the war with the Russian regime that would be palatable to and an appeasement political and territorial win for the Putin Russian regime.

Winning the war by urban demolition or the destruction of civilian population centers has worked for the Russian Putin regime in Chechnya and Syria. The Russian Putin regime's emphasis on its threats of a willingness to use its nuclear weapons if the war is brought to Russian territory credibly acts as a deterrent in limiting the Russian-Ukrainian war territorially to being an offensive war only against the territory of Ukraine and allowing the Russian armed forces in Russia and Ukraine to degrade the habitability of and destroy the cities, towns and villages of Ukraine at their discretion and whim without the consequence of retaliatory military strikes on attacking Russian armed forces and sites in Russia proper. In this situation, it does not matter how much the Russian armed forces in Ukraine lose (soldiers, weaponry, etc., positions and territory) to the Ukrainian armed forces, they are able endlessly to conduct their demolition military bombing and artillery strikes against Ukrainian defenseless, sitting-ducks civilian-center cities, towns and villages.

Putin's war against Ukraine is indicatively a geopolitical war to sour the Ukrainian population and electorate on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the US population and electorate on US President Joe Biden and his/the US Congressional leadership Democratic Party as well as the populations and electorates of NATO member nations on the leaders of primarily European NATO nations -- poison the socioeconomic political ambience of these democratic nations and depopularize their top elected leaders -- in view of and in their reaction to the fuel energy shortages and economic losses they, households and businesses collectively, are experiencing as a result Russia’s retaliatory sanctions against the USA and NATO member nations for their leaders’ criticism and economic sanctions of Russia because of the Russian Putin regime’s war against Ukraine, and their leaders supplying arms to Ukraine to fight off the Russian Putin regime’s military aggression against and land grabbing in Ukraine.

In this way, in reference to the USA, the greatest military and economic power of humanity and leader of NATO, the Putin regime, and probably its economic partner and friend the membership nations of OPEC, contributing to fossil fuels shortages and in spillover-effect inflationary and budget-busting and profit-curbing high prices, imposed on the USA and NATO member nations, led by the Putin regime of Russia, are banking on, negatively (cost) investing in, the return of their pal Donald Trump as US president in 2025 and the Trumpian-cult GOP as the US Congressional leadership political party to be elected in the Congressional majority in November of 2022, officially effective in January of 2023, and retained as the Congressional majority and leadership political party in the national elections of November of 2024, officially effective in January of 2025.
