RUSSIAN INVASION

The Russians are coming and their excuse is that they were frustrated by a week of delays after sending over "130 AID" trucks. These vehicles rolled into rebel-held eastern Ukraine today without the direct approval of the government in Kiev. Ukraine called the move a "direct invasion" that aimed to provoke an international incident.

Fighting in eastern Ukraine began back in mid-April, a month after Russia annexed Ukraine's southern Black Sea peninsula. It has killed over 2,000 people and forced 340,000 to flee, according to the United Nations.

WORLD OF DANGERS

Submitted by ub on

Our world is less safe today than it has been in a very long time and things appear to have gotten worse this summer.

Take a hard look at events around the nation and our world only to see we're facing dangers of many fronts. It used to be that our dangers were limited to extreme heat, flooding, lightning strikes...etc.

At home: We have seen unprecedented dangers near the US border and in the Midwest region. Whopping weather woes, including fires and a severe drought. Our political system appears to be broken.

The global population has passed 7 billion and the challenge and an opportunity with implications on sustainability, urbanization, access to health services and youth empowerment. It also offers a rare call-to-action to renew the global commitment for a healthy and sustainable world for all.
