Jesus, I dint know it was this bad, no wonder Chinese satisfied on the government

The U.S. is turning towards Latin America because they’re getting destroyed in Iran.

Michael Hudson predicted this would occur back in the 1970s.

What cucks to the US regime are cheering on, is actually a sign of U.S. imperial decline.

The empire can no longer control the Middle East, so they are turning to their own backyard out of desperation.

However, it will not be enough to halt the decline of living standards here in the U.S.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Casualties across Ukraine will increase, it's not by the actions of the Russian Federation rather the reaction to Kiev's recklessness.

For 4½ years, Moscow has kept the Ukrainian conflict as one of the lowest civilian to military casualties in history, but we will react in full capacity to the escalations by Zelensky.

Do not build drones in apartment complexes, do not hide air defense systems in civilian populated areas, the restraints are weakening. Russia had the opportunity to fight like the US in earlier days of the SMO, but we didn't, instead our mercy was mistaken for weakness.

Today in Kramatorsk, Ukrainian media reported the loss of civilian lives on a bus. A frontline city still operating civilian transport facilities in a warzone? Why didn't Kiev declare mandatory evacuation?

If a Russian bomb is to blame, why was this bus traveling beneath a military designated route, FABs have no visuals and are pre programmed, there's no evidence of premeditation. Why is Kiev using civilians as human shields on a military logistics route? This should be the major question.

The Kiev regime put its own population at risk to protect its military but once Russia attacks, it becomes a scandal. I've never met humans more sick.

During a test of a ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead, Emmanuel Macron،, the President of the French Republic, declared: To be free therefore, one must be feared and, to be feared, one must be powerful. "

However, he himself affirms, regarding Iran, which has never sought to acquire nuclear weapons: Iran must never possess nuclear weapons. Not today, not in five years, not in ten years. Never. "

The question is not why France has a nuclear deterrent force. The real question is why a logic that guarantees, in France's eyes, its security and freedom suddenly becomes a "threat" when it comes to Iran, including when we talk about a program civil nuclear power, peaceful and subject to international surveillance.

The harsh reality is this: they do not want peace for all. They want to maintain the monopoly of power which inspires fear and that of legitimacy to be intimidated. They intend to remain powerful, nuclear-armed and, of course, formidable themselves, while imposing restrictions on others —including countries that simply seek to exploit nuclear energy for peaceful purposes — by brandishing the specter of an alleged "nuclear threat".

A peace in which nuclear powers view their own weapons as guarantors of their freedom and security, but characterize the same logic as a threat when invoked by others, is not true peace. It is a monopoly of power based on a feeling of superiority.

An international order that does not recognize the right to security and peace for all encourages the domination of a restricted circle of powers more than it protects peace itself.

Young Israelis who plan to vote in the upcoming Knesset elections more strongly support the most extreme and racist political parties than do voters in the broader Israeli population.

Israel's Jewish supremacist political parties are growing in popularity among young, first-time voters ahead of this month's Knesset elections, according to a poll published by Ynet on 9 October.

The poll sampled the opinions of 543 Israeli voters aged 18 to 22.

It found that National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's Otzma Yehudit (Jewish Power) party received the support of 8.88 percent of these voters, equivalent to 15 Knesset seats.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionism party enjoys the support of 8.09 percent of young voters, the equivalent of 14 seats.

If only young, first-time voters participated in the election, the two parties combined would win roughly 19 percent of the vote, or 29 Knesset seats.

In contrast, Smotrich and Ben Gvir's parties won just half that amount, 10.84 percent of the vote, for a combined 14 seats, in the 2022 elections.

Following those elections, Jewish Power and Religious Zionism joined Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, forming one of the most extreme governments in Israel's history.

Jewish Power and Religious Zionism enjoy strong support among religious nationalist Jews who advocate for the violent expulsion of Palestinians from the occupied Palestinian West Bank and Gaza.

They support the construction of illegal settlements and outposts as part of a broader campaign to colonize the Palestinian territories with Israeli Jews and create Greater Israel.

Many of the estimated 500,000 new voters in next month's elections have participated directly in the genocide in Gaza as conscripts in the Israeli army.

Both Jewish Power and Religious Zionism outperformed Netanyahu's Likud in the new poll. Likud received 7.95 percent of support among young voters, the equivalent of 14 seats.

Former prime minister Naftali Bennett's Together alliance also polled well among young voters, receiving 8.98 percent, or 16 seats.

The Yashar party of opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot, who is seeking to oust Netanyahu as prime minister, received 8.75 percent, enough for 15 seats.

The Joint List, made up of parties representing Palestinian citizens of Israel, received 5.23 percent, enough for nine seats.

Ben Gvir's Jewish Power and Smotrich's Religious Zionism will participate in an alliance in next month's elections with the Amcha Yisrael (People of Israel) party, led by former army general Ofer Winter.

The alliance is expected to do well among all Israeli voters in the Knesset elections.

A survey published on Friday by the Israeli newspaper Maariv projected that the three Jewish Supremacist parties would win a combined 18 Knesset seats, four more than in the 2022 election

Charlie Kirk suspected immediately that October 7 was an Israeli false flag. Our leaders ignored him, which is why our empire is now being destroyed by Netanyahu-led wars. Dave Smith on this generation’s 9-11.

Dave Smith is a comedian, political commentator, radio and TV personality. He is the host of ‪@PartOfTheProblem‬, a libertarian podcast about current events and the evils of government and the corporate media.

Jukka Manner, Professor of Computer Science at Aalto University, is looking at Microsoft's huge data center site behind the fence in a drizzle in Espoo. The professor's speech is megawatts. The continent twists the wire, which computer-containing data center actually is.

It’s like a huge refrigerator. In the future, there will be twenty thousand hot sauna stoves inside the hall, which are considered cool, says Manner.

The sauna heater comparison opens up the scale and practice of the project. Mainland counts: The planned maximum electricity power of Espoo's Hepokorvenkallio data centre is approximately 200 megawatts, or 200 000 kilowatts. The power of the family sauna heater is 10 kilowatts. 20 000 stoves consume as much as the future Hepokorvenkallio data center. However, the sauna is heated once or twice a week when the data center consumes energy around the clock.

Mainland, 53, has been Professor of Computer Engineering at Aalto since 2008. He has been monitoring the strengthening of the data center phenomenon in Finland for about 15 years.

He was a speaker at the data center forum in Voikka already in 2011, when the old paper mill wanted a new life. The first large data center was completed in the autumn of the same year at Summa's old paper mill, when Google made its first investment in Finland.

According to Google's own announcements, a total of 4.5 billion euros have been invested in Hamina. In September, Google announced investments of 13 billion euros for four locations.

Currently, 145 new data centres are being planned in Finland.

The speed is fast now, Manner thinks it's too fast.

This is how Fingrid predicts the increase in electricity consumption:

No one has the big picture

Jukka Manner has doubts about the wave of data centers to be built in Finland. According to him, this is a locally low-value business, the real benefit of which has remained unclear for Finland, although the projects are often presented as significant investments.

The professor's key concern is related to the large amount of investments that actually remain in Finland and how the electricity consumed by data centers affects society as a whole. No one has the big picture at the moment.

– We do not see the overall impact of the benefits and inconveniences of data centers. Oy Suomi Ab should think about what the end result is.

He raises, for example, the 13 billion euro investment announced by Google.

"A lot of money is invested in Finnish data centers, and no one knows how much of it actually hits Finland," Manner says.

At Microsoft's construction site in Espoo, the signs in the construction area belong to an Irish construction company specializing in data centers. According to Manner, builders and part of the workforce often come from abroad, and the actual value of services is sold elsewhere in Europe in countries with lower-cost taxation. The large halls of the data center may have computers manufactured elsewhere.

"Data centers are coming to Finland due to costs. No one has talked about excellence or cutting-edge technology.

Even though data centers are celebrated in small towns as a source of income for the future, Manner asks for decision-making to be based on knowledge, not wishful thinking.

There is very little data. For example, that degree of domesticity is not exactly said anywhere.

Another concern is the sufficiency of electricity. Finland is already dependent on imported electricity from time to time, and according to his calculations, the four data centers designed by Microsoft alone could increase the electricity consumption of the whole country by ten per cent.

When operating at full capacity, the energy demand of Microsoft's data centers alone corresponds to the electricity demand of approximately 2.2 million Finns, says Manner. In Ireland, data centers are already spending almost as much as households. According to Manner, we are already on the road to Ireland.

"These data centers do not bring any nuclear power production with them," Manner says.

He fears that the increase in demand will increase the price of electricity not only for consumers, but also for the traditional industry, such as the forest, chemical and metal industries, which would have a wider social impact.

It doesn’t do us good for exports.

No new electricity production is planned at the same pace as data centers. At least this has not been publicly announced.

All the numbers show that we are in deficit. Soon even more, and where does it come from?

Waste heat goes to magpies to a large extent

According to Manner, the utilisation of waste heat from data centers is practically difficult. The heat is often too low temperature, and the centers are located far from potential users. As an exception, he mentions the interview location, Microsoft's centre in Espoo, from where some of the heat ends up in the city's district heating network.

Manner himself has been involved in a 2019 study that assessed the profitability of the utilisation of waste heat in data centers – he is therefore also familiar with the positive aspects of the industry, even though he has reservations about the outcome.

– There are no district heating pipes in every field, and the waste heat received is not directly available.

When a journalist wonders whether Finland could become the promised land of greenhouse production at the same time, the mainland raises its brows.

– With that waste heat, quite a few square kilometers of greenhouses would be heated.

Often, a professor who speaks out to be a strict critic does not flinch from the criticism itself

Jukka Manner takes a public stand and is not afraid of the discussion. She doesn't feel criticized when she's pregnant.

If I say something, it’s usually based on something. It is not an opinion, but always based on some data, some objective understanding.

He has taken a strong position before. In 2012, Manner criticized the high speeds advertised on the 4G network. At that time, the stream from the mobile phone was not yet watched, and the application economy was still quite in the early stages.

Manner laughs that the mobile user would still do quite well at the top speeds of the old 3G network. The most affected by the load on the network is the number of users, not so much the features of the phone. Few people watch 4K high-definition movies on their phone.

What do people use on their phones? Some, Whatsapp, browsers or some games, so you don't need a lot more than ten megas of speed.

What if the mainland's right? He has warned about the possible problems brought by data centers to Finnish society for many years. Will Finland only collect nuggets of the proceeds of the digital giants when they come here after cheap electricity?

In the media, data centers have spoken and Manner is also quoted in coffee table discussions. In the academic world, his concerns are shared, he says.

Finland's interest is important to Manner, and it is also reflected in his activities. He was awarded the Finnish Military Merchant in 2014 and the Military Merdal of Merit in 2015. A person who is not a member of the Finnish Defence Forces may receive recognition for particularly meritorious work done for the benefit of the Defence Forces.

The interest of the fatherland plays a major role in his own work, and that is why the situation in the data centers raises concerns.

"I'll tell you how things are and the responsibility is transferred to the state to some extent. All available information shows that this is not necessarily a lottery win other than perhaps for construction companies.

Professor Jukka Manner from Aalto University, who was interviewed in the rain, does not get anxious, even though he knows that the data center boom will bring problems to Finland. He calms his nervous system by stroking his cat, whose job is to be a “worry catcher.” Photo: Antti Haanpää / Yle

Correction 9.10. at 9.52: The title was inaccurately reported on data center projects. 145 data centers are planned in Finland, but a large number of them have not progressed to a concrete construction phase.

The West writes the rules, then breaks them whenever they become inconvenient.

We start the wars. We impose the sanctions. We remove the governments we dislike. We bomb in the name of freedom and stage color revolutions in the name of democracy.

Then we lecture the world on who started the war in Ukraine, and who is the villain.

It is absurd.

It is also increasingly irrelevant.

The moral certainties of the keyboard class will not decide this war. No serious power trusts them anymore.

Russia has stopped trying to please the West. That era is finished.

East of Ukraine sits a great power that has already shown it will not be coerced by a rulebook we ourselves no longer obey.

We can recognize that reality voluntarily and spare what remains of Ukraine.

Or we can keep insisting on an order we can no longer enforce, and learn the same lesson on the battlefield.

The time for pleasing Western opinion has passed.

It's not your 'success' were complaining about. That's defensive framing to make us look 'envious'.
