putin signed a "License to Invade"! Russian State Duma has passed the first reading of a bill that significantly expands putin’s authority to deploy the Russian military abroad. The legislation proposes that putin can deploy armed forces to any foreign country to “protect the rights of Russian citizens" The playbook is identical to what we've seen before : the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. If fully enacted, it effectively gives putin a permanent green light to launch "protection" operations anywhere in the world where Russian nationals are “oppressed” by the local government. “Russophobia" is a manufactured ghost used to justify real-world aggression. By making this vague term a trigger for military action, putin creates a borderless mandate. The bill is being viewed by NATO and European intelligence services as a "zero phase" preparation for potential future conflicts or escalations in the Baltic states or other neighbouring regions. putin is simply making sure that the next time he wants to redraw a map, he has a piece of paper in his hand that says he’s allowed to do it. It’s a pre-written script for annexation.

Melitaion kunidion: not "Maltese dog," but a small furry #dog For centuries, it has been repeated that the Canis melitaeus was the "dog of Malta." However, this reading is too simple, and perhaps even wrong. In Greek, kunidion means "small dog" (in Latin, Catulus). The real issue lies with Melitaion: this is where the confusion arises. It is by no means mandatory to read it as a geographical name. More likely, it indicated a small, long-haired dog—a "furry" type, very close to the modern Kokoni. Key Points • Kunidion = small dog. • Melitaion can be a descriptive term, not necessarily geographical. • The transformation into "Maltese dog" is a later simplification. • The #Kokoni (still called Μελιταίων Κυνίδιον by Greeks today) fits well into this framework as a possible heir to ancient Greek small dogs. A Note on #Genetics We must be rigorous here: on a genetic level, we do not yet have definitive proof that allows us to say with absolute certainty that the modern Kokoni descends in a direct, uncontaminated line from those small dogs of ancient Greece. Historical and iconographic sources suggest a continuity of type and function, but available genetic data alone are not enough to settle the discussion on origins. In other words, the picture is very consistent, but not yet fully resolved. The Central Point The problem, therefore, is not just the name. It is the way an ancient, perhaps descriptive term has been transformed over time into a geographical label. When this happens, we risk erasing the original meaning: not "dog of Malta," but likely a "small furry dog." In Summary The Kokoni likely represents an ancient canine tradition of the Greek world, but the precise origins remain open. For this reason, it is more correct to speak of a very solid historical hypothesis rather than absolute genetic certainty. Ultimately, this is exactly where research becomes interesting: between what sources suggest, what morphology confirms, and what genetics has yet to clarify. I wrote about the Kokoni in my #book 'Origins,' along with the other breeds recognized today in Greece. Er... no, the Laconians have been extinct for a few centuries. #history #pets #evolution #ancientgreece

Melitaion kunidion: non “cane di Malta”, ma cagnolino peloso Per secoli si è ripetuto che il Canis melitaeus fosse il “cane di Malta”. Ma questa lettura è troppo semplice, e forse anche sbagliata. In greco, kunidion significa “cagnolino” (in latino Catulus). Il punto vero è Melitaion: qui nasce la confusione. Non è affatto obbligatorio leggerlo come un nome geografico. Più probabilmente indicava un piccolo cane dal pelo lungo, cioè un tipo “peloso”, molto vicino al moderno #Kokoni. I punti essenziali • Kunidion = cagnolino. • Melitaion può essere un termine descrittivo, non per forza geografico. • La trasformazione in “cane di Malta” è una semplificazione successiva. • Il Kokoni (ancora oggi chiamato dai greci Μελιταίων Κυνίδιον) si inserisce bene in questo quadro come possibile erede dei piccoli cani greci antichi. Ma attenzione alla genetica Qui però bisogna essere rigorosi: sul piano genetico non abbiamo ancora una prova definitiva che ci permetta di dire con assoluta certezza che il Kokoni moderno discenda in linea diretta e incontaminata da quei piccoli cani dell’antica Grecia. Le fonti storiche e iconografiche suggeriscono una continuità di tipo e di funzione, ma i dati genetici disponibili non bastano da soli a chiudere ogni discussione sulle origini. In altre parole: il quadro è molto coerente, ma non ancora totalmente risolto. Il punto centrale Il problema, quindi, non è solo il nome. È il modo in cui un termine antico, forse descrittivo, è stato trasformato nel tempo in un’etichetta geografica. E quando questo accade, si rischia di cancellare il significato originario: non “cane di Malta”, ma probabilmente piccolo cane peloso. In sintesi Il Kokoni rappresenta con ogni probabilità una tradizione canina antica del mondo greco, ma le origini precise restano aperte. Per questo è più corretto parlare di ipotesi storica molto solida, e non di certezza genetica assoluta. In fondo, è proprio qui che la ricerca diventa interessante: tra ciò che le fonti suggeriscono, ciò che la morfologia conferma e ciò che la genetica dovrà ancora chiarire. Del Kokoni ho scritto nel mio #libro 'Origini', insieme alle altre razze oggi riconosciute in Grecia. Ehm... no, i laconiani sono estinti da qualche secolo. #cane #cani #storia #genetica

Vance says that stopping funding for Ukraine is one of his proudest achievements in this administration. ​I’m watching this stunningly cruel speech from Ukraine, as Russia continues to kills us every day. Just today, they killed 8-year-old boy in Cherkasy and five people in Dnipro. Dozens more were injured. ​The military assistance you are so proud of stopping was used to save lives in a war Russia started and continues every day by choice, in a war that only became possible after USA pressured Ukraine into disarming... ​I do not know if Vance can fully comprehend the scale of the tragedy unfolding here: a brutal, illegal war of extermination by Russia, and the slow abandonment by our allies. There is nothing to be proud of. Absolutely nothing.

Dall’esistenza dei ciclopi alla città sommersa di Atlantide. Siamo stati alla presentazione del libro del Ministro della Cultura Giuli, presso l’Accademia dei Lincei. Per questa “opera” Giuli ha usufruito di 21 mila euro di fondi collegati proprio al Ministero della Cultura. All’interno del libro si parla di teorie pseudo-scientifiche sulla presunta esistenza storica dei giganti e della città di Atlantide. È davvero ammissibile che un ministro promuova queste teorie? @Ivan_Grieco
