“Thousands of people have protested in Berlin to condemn Germany’s supply of arms to Ukraine and call for peace talks to end the war.
BERLIN -- Thousands of people protested in Berlin on Saturday to condemn Germany's supply of arms to Ukraine and call for peace talks to end the war.
The organizers were criticized before the protest for downplaying Ukraine’s right to defend its territory from Russian aggression and failing to distance themselves from political extremists on the far right and far left, where pro-Russia views are common.
One of the organizers, opposition lawmaker Sahra Wagenknecht of the ex-communist Left party, said during the rally that there was no place for neo-Nazis, but that anyone who wanted peace “with an honest heart” was welcome.
While most placards at the protest reflected traditional left-wing positions, some participants bore banners with the slogan “Americans go home” and the logo of a far-right magazine. Some waved Russian flags.
Wagenknecht accused the German government of seeking to “ruin Russia," and said that Moscow should be made an “offer” in order to resume peace talks. #peace”

Val Eisman\Climate Alert:
“"With about ten active wars globally and the rearmament of the world, the global arms industry needs to be taken into account when talking about climate change and environmental destruction in general. However, in a world where so called ‘green’ parties participate in the arms industry and occasionally even speak the language of this industry, the connection is often lost. This text is not to discount the immense human suffering caused directly by war. While there are enough reasons to promote peace without this aspect, talking about environmental damage adds another indirect dimension.
Climate neutrality can only be achieved through peace and cooperation at an international level.
War has an enormous [ecological footprint](
) and the greenwashing of it is ridiculous. An example of a shameful attempt at greenwashing is the manufacturing of an electric (military) tank in Flensburg, Germany. The production of such a tank alone consumes enormous resources and the whole concept of an ‘e-tank’ is a mockery of the climate movement, which historically has clearly been part of the peace movement. Carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq) neutral wars are fantasies without any scientific basis. Even if a tank could be produced in a climate-neutral way, it is still an instrument of destruction. Civilian buildings are also always destroyed, and their construction requires resources."”

Mother Nature never fails to surprise ! It has rained fish near the Tanami Desert in Australia!
It may sound like a biblical fairy tale, but it really happened. In some countries in the world dead birds fall from the sky and near the Australian desert it rains fish. The Tanami Desert is a desert in northern Australia and one of the most isolated and arid areas on Earth. Rain here is rare enough, but what happened now was called an "act of God." "We saw a big storm coming toward our community, and we thought it was just rain. But when it started raining, we also saw fish falling down." Residents of Lajamanu, 560 kilometers south of the city of Darwin, were stunned to see fish falling from the sky during heavy rain.
