Venezuela - some questions. How can you run a country without invading? If you invade won't there be opposition? If you don't like a leader is it ok to kidnap them? Which country with oil reserves is next? Why aren't other nations condemning these actions? Why don't we learn from history?

Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris): These endangered big cats are carnivores, hunting and feeding on ungulates but also hares, wild boar and occasionally water buffalo. Thank you again Kunwar Shobhit Dayal for sharing your image of a wild Tiger taking a drink in the Dudhwa National Park in India.

Another no-freezing night for several stations in GREENLAND
It's possible that some stations pass a whole week without ever dropping below freezing.
That's crazy for January,when the no-freezing nights are rare and hardly ever more than 2 in a row.
Most of Europe is colder (minimums) these days..

In case you were wondering who pulls Starmer’s strings. Though it should be pretty damned obvious by now.
In 2025 and 2024 Israel’s air force and army chiefs were given special immunity by Keir Starmer’s government to visit Britain, to protect them from possible prosecution for war crimes.

If you can’t get in the loft you could ask for a home safety visit from the fire service to make sure everything is ok?
