If the United States truly thinks about withdrawing from NATO, then European security will be based solely on the European Union. But not in its current form. I think that the EU is in a situation where it needs more countries.
The UK, Ukraine, Türkiye, and Norway. These are four strong countries, which are part of Europe. Together, the UK, Ukraine, and Türkiye have armies that are stronger than Russia's army. Without Ukraine and Türkiye, Europe can’t match Russia. With the four countries on board you can wrest control of the seas, have secure skies and the largest land forces.
It’s not about offense, because when Russia makes the decision to have an army of 2.5 million people by 2030, Europe has to think about security and how to preserve its independence. The UK once was a member of the EU. There are concerns about agriculture when it comes to Türkiye. But you can manage all of this if you have a really great economy. But security comes first, economy second. Not vice versa.

@archeohistories The pythagoras theorem isn't exactly how original work... Ancient India already knew and had discovered this centuries earlier
English

The Greek philosopher Pythagoras is remembered today as the serene sage of geometry—the man who taught the world that in a right triangle the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides. What is less widely remembered is that the ancient Greek world was not a quiet university campus. It was a landscape of rival cities, mercenaries, and constant war. Philosophers, merchants, poets, and mathematicians all lived in the same turbulent society, and many of them knew the spear as well as the stylus.
Did Pythagoras personally march into battle? We cannot say for certain. The surviving sources—written centuries later—tell us far more about his mathematics, his strange philosophical brotherhood in southern Italy, and his belief that numbers governed the universe. But he lived in a Greek world where nearly every free man was expected to defend his city. So while history remembers the triangles, it is not impossible that at some point the great mathematician also had to put down the chalk, pick up a spear, and hope the angles worked out in his favor.

@joshkirschner @archeohistories Yep Pythagorus studied in Egypt. The Pyramids were built thousands of years before there was a Greece.
English

@archeohistories There is a fair amount of evidence that the math underlying the Pythagorean Theorem was described at least a thousand years before Pythagoras, and known in far-flung regions from China to Egypt (possibly discovered independently).
English

@archeohistories Every Greek of note finished their education in Egypt. Including Pythagorus, Socrates, Plato…Where they already had geometry. Never mind go back to pretending Civilization didn’t exist thousands of years before the Greeks.🤦🏾

@michaelt5656 Yep because if they were not complicit they would resign
English

@archeohistories Yes many of us alive had great grandparents that were slaves or slave owners… America has never repented (apologized or given reparations) so it continues to make similar mistakes (mass incarceration…)

106 year-old William Casby holding his great-great-granddaughter. He was born into slavery in Danville, Virginia in 1857, worked as a longshoreman, and lived to be 113, photograph by Richard Avedon, 1963....
Casby was born into slavery in 1857 in Danville, Virginia, just four years before the Civil War began. Emancipated as a child after 1865, he came of age during Reconstruction and later worked as a longshoreman. By the time this photograph was taken, he had witnessed slavery, the Civil War’s aftermath, Jim Crow segregation, two World Wars, and the early years of the Civil Rights Movement.
Avedon photographed Casby as part of a series documenting people who had been born into slavery, creating minimalist portraits against stark white backgrounds to focus entirely on the subject’s presence and expression. The image is both intimate and monumental, the elder’s weathered face beside the softness of new life.
Casby reportedly lived to be 113.
When Casby was born, James Buchanan was president and Abraham Lincoln had not yet been elected, yet he lived long enough to see the presidency of John F. Kennedy and the dawn of the modern civil rights era.

@Bro_Code_x I assume that this has to be done every night, not just one treatment. Either way, I’ll try it, but it’d be nice to know if it was more than just one treatment which makes more sense than just one.
