The results mean the country is headed for a coalition government, with neither of the largest two parties winning enough support to command a parliamentary majority. If Fico’s Smer leads that coalition, it could reverse Slovakia’s strong support for Ukraine amid Russia’s invasion.
“We think Ukraine is a great tragedy for everyone involved,” Fico said in a news conference after the results were in. “And if Smer gets to form a government, we will do everything we can — also within the E.U. — to start peace talks as quickly as possible. Further killing won’t benefit anyone.” He also said Smer is prepared to continue providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine and predicted it would take two weeks to form a coalition.

SA and Israel voting AGAINST any kind of seat at the
United Nations for the Palestinians - let alone one which would allow them any kind of say in the
future of a NEW Palestine - and to cop it all the laissez-faire attitude of the Palestinians UN Envoy,
Tony Blair, BEING altogether disruptive of any kind of long lasting peace agreement between
the TWO NATIONS !!!
IS there any wonder that Peter Osborne has recently stated -
It’s easy to see what the former Labour prime minister gets out of his
role as Middle East envoy, but harder to see what he gives back

In accordance with tradition our teahouse is a simple wooden structure with a bamboo-thatched roof and sparsely decorated interior.
However we consciously departed from the authentic design by incorporating the partially remaining stone walls of an old barn, used to shelter pigs in former times, and by leaving the walls largely open on two sides allowing views of the garden.
We make no apology for these and other deviations, as they have evolved from a blending of traditional and contemporary influences.

Greg Craven (that's me!), the creator of "The Most Terrifying Video" never intended to write a book. It just sort of happened. All as a result of the two-year back-and forth I've had with the YouTube community about this video and its follow up marathon "How It All Ends."
So now "What's the Worst That Could Happen? A Rational Response to the Climate Change Debate" is available from Amazon and other sellers through the links at www.gregcraven.org, as well as your local bookstore (I hope!).
Check it out if you're intrigued by the argument in this video.

THE REASON THE COMMENTS ARE CLOSED ON THIS VIDEO is that most of the criticisms of what's presented here have been addressed by the bruisingly thorough 7-hour How It All Ends video project, the discussion is happening over there. I spent months combing through literally tens of thousands of critical comments to find every single objection, criticism, "Yeah but," and "You missed a spot" that I could to this video.
You might find the results interesting, and hopefully, helpful: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list...
You can post comments there. But to tell the truth, the conversation has moved even farther along, since the criticisms to those videos gave rise to the book, which now has its own discussions going at http://www.manpollo.org/forums/index....…
