Interesting NATO history:
It's original goal was unification of Europe and eradication of nationalist militarism.
So, it was pretty successful.
Now, maybe it's time for Europe to defend itself from Russia... and now the US.

Great news for exploration:
Schmidt Sciences is funding the Lazuli space telescope, bigger than Hubble, that will include a coronagraph to separate the light of a planet from its nearby star. Schmidt is also supporting 3 innovative ground-based astronomy arrays. 🧪🔭

I feel like, in most cases, people will do what they can to help others.
It's important to remember that.
But sometimes they'll go above and beyond, like this heroic individual.
The selfless people are everywhere. And outnumber the evil by far.

Ahmed Al Ahmed, is 43, a father of 2 and owner of a fruit shop in Sutherland, Australia.
Yesterday, he disarmed a terrorist targeting a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach where 12 humans were killed.
Ahmed was unarmed. He was shot twice and is expected to make a full recovery. Hero. 💔

Why does Nigel Farage hero worship, and do the bidding of, dictators Putin and Trump who hate / wish harm on the UK and Europe.
It’s weird, isn’t it?
Why is Nigel Farage such a traitor to the UK and EU?
