    “An alarming heatwave in the sunless winter Arctic is causing blizzards in Europe and forcing scientists to reconsider even their most pessimistic forecasts of climate change”

    Record Cold In Europe…Greenland Adds 12 Billion Tonnes Of Snow And Ice In Single Day….Enough to Cover 275 Manhattans!

    It looks like climate hysteria is going into overdrive. 🙂

    A lovely painting:
    The Moulin de la Galette is a windmill and associated businesses situated near the top of the district of Montmartre in Paris. Since the 17th century the windmill has been known for more than just its milling capabilities. Nineteenth-century owners and millers, the Debray family, made a brown bread, galette, which became popular and thus the name of the windmill and its businesses, which have included a famous guinguette and restaurant. In the 19th century, Le Moulin de la Galette represented diversion for Parisians seeking entertainment, a glass of wine and bread made from flour ground by the windmill. Artists, such as Renoir, van Gogh, and Pissarro have immortalized Le Moulin de la Galette; likely the most notable was Renoir’s festive painting, Bal du moulin de la Galette. Wiki

    MACEDONIA

    Another example of how Soros is running Europe. He sponsored the political party now in power and they are pursuing US requirements that Macedonia joins the EU and NATO.

    The main issue is to get round Greece’s objections. According to the article I read plan A is a name change which will remove Greece’s veto. Plan B is to split up Macedonia and divide it between surrounding countries.

    Why on earth hasn’t Greece flipped to Russia? I assumed before that if they did, NATO would have Turkey invade, but now?

    What are they thinking?

    Greeks want to belong to Europe (ye olde Ottoman threat). Even if their sympathy for Russia is by now very un-European.

    Russia has nothing to offer. It couldn’t save Serbia. It lost Ukraine. It abandoned Cuba.
    Russia seems to be doing well in Syria, but even Assad turned to Russia only when there was absolutely nobody else to go to and he was about to follow Gaddafi.

    For the first three, yeah, 30 years ago. You’d have to be over 50 to even remember those things. They don’t have the military power of 30 years ago, and neither does the U.S.

    So Greek wants to keep to upright, stalwart friends like the U.S. and E.U.? You’d be better off with the Turks, and that’s really saying something.

    The US and EU are not Greece’s friends, they are suzerains. Greece can reject their benefits, but it still has to jump when they the US and EU tell it to. Or else. And neither Russia nor Turkey can protect it. So, what’s the point rejecting the benefits of being a EU member? The only way out is through a rabbit hole and they are not ready, methinks 🙂

    Thanks for the new word; suzerains; excellent descriptive of US/EU positions regarding Greece.
