I am a musician and a teacher, taught cello from 13-70, & arranged music for pupils, and now for friends. I have a published collection of cello stories, plus some short stories too. I kept goats for many years. I've lived in London, Wales and Orkney.

The nuclear road not taken—and its consequences 80 years after the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki
The nuclear era started 80 years ago with the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki—and has continued to harm generations of people across the world to this very day. Another road was possible.

190 000 documented war crimes in less than 4 years. About ±150 a day. And that is only the tip of the iceberg. Next time you even think about "it is war, it happens" or "it is not so black and white" - remember this number. It is pretty clear cut.

P.S. "unidentified". And who could that be? Ktulhu? Reptiloids? Siths? Truly a mystery since there is no one who already at war with the EU.

Ukraine is hitting Russia in the pocket. But Trump says he won't defend anyone after drones were shot down over Poland. I think we all know the only person Trump is interested in is himself and his wealth. Europe must look after itself.
