[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The results are in - the psychotic 'sanctuary cities' experiment has utterly failed. And there's no clearer proof than the Rotten Apple – where a once proud, party-boy mayor has been reduced to a sniveling spectator to his own city's decline.
'I can't deport. I can't stop people from coming in,' Eric Adams told Fox Nation on Wednesday, referring to suicidal sanctuary city laws that prevent New York State authorities from cooperating with federal law enforcement. Faced with the prospect of an open southern border flooding NYC with roving gangs of migrant repeat-offenders, who have shot tourists, beaten police officers and terrorized neighborhoods from Brooklyn to the Bronx, Hizzoner has thrown up his hands.
'The law states that we cannot notify I.C.E.,' Adams whined. 'I cannot break the law and enforce the law.'
How depressing typical.
A mayor, who once vowed to protect his city's 'sanctuary' status, now uses the asinine policy as an excuse not to do his job. Oh, New York City is a 'sanctuary' – for criminals.
On Wednesday, 19-year-old migrant, who was previously charged with the gang attack of two police officers in Times Square last month, was arrested again for shoplifting from a Macy's store in Queens.
A store employee was punched.
Why, you ask, wasn't Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel behind bars awaiting trial? Because Manhattan's fanatically progressive District Attorney released Gomez and his accomplices without bail. Only hours later, the beating suspects strutted out of a police precinct - middle fingers raised in the air.
To these foreign lawbreakers – the American justice system is a joke.
Another erstwhile 'sanctuary city' devotee, New York Governor Kathy Hochul said she now wants the cop-beating migrant thugs kicked out of the country.
But, as Adams observed, how can a municipality that refuses to cooperate with U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement do that? Is the NYPD going to deport them to Connecticut?
When Democrats start to sound like Republicans, you know something has gone very, very wrong. Even brand new Democratic New York Congressman-elect Tom Suozzi has called on President Biden to temporarily close the southern border.
But these arsonists can't just blow their hot air on this raging inferno and expect it to go out. This migrant crime explosion was inevitable – and now it's nearly unmanageable.
Would it shock you to learn that a 15-year-old migrant, arrested for shooting an innocent tourist during a botched Manhattan robbery before wildly firing into crowds as he ran from police in February, is also a suspect in at least two other gun crimes? In Gotham – crime pays.
Earlier this month, surveillance cameras captured two moped-riding migrant muggers dragging a 62-year-old Brooklyn woman across a sidewalk and slamming her body into a fixed metal bike rack. Police tracked the hoodlums to a Venezuelan organized crime ring linked to 62 separate instances of grand larceny throughout the city. The leader of the gang – you guessed it! – is an accused thief released by a judge in December.
There's no mystery to this mayhem.
'What the detectives are telling me is that [migrant gangs] have crews here that operate in New York, do all their stealing then go to Florida to spend the money then come back,' a former NYPD deputy director of intelligence recently explained to two oblivious CNN hosts this month.
'The criminals don't steal in Florida, because there you go to jail,' he said.
'Oh!' replied the anchor.
'Fascinating!' ventured the other.
It's NOT 'fascinating.' It's exceedingly obvious.
It's long past time that 'sanctuary cities' and their idiot accomplices 'bail reform,' go the way of 'defund the police' and 'trust the science' - as nonsensical liberal fantasies that hurt the people the policies purport to protect.
And, most alarmingly, the damage done by President Biden's 'open borders' and Democrats' insane 'sanctuary' schemes may be generational. New York police suspect that the moped thieves responsible for dozens of grand larcenies are linked to a murderous gang, known as El Tren de Aragua, born out of the Venezuelan prison system.
If you haven't read that name in the news, sadly, you soon will. Authorities in Florida say the vicious international syndicate has killed for the first time on U.S. soil. Who would imagine it will be the last?
In January, a man was lured to a cheap Miami hotel by a prostitute and then kidnapped, tortured, robbed and strangled to death.
Police in Chicago have confirmed that Tren is also now operating there.
And once these organizations invade they are very hard to root them out.
Incarceration is a far better option than turning criminals loose on the streets, but prisons are like Silicon Valley incubators to these monsters.
'They know how penal networks operate,' Latin America expert Joseph M. Humire told DailyMail.com. 'They may become an intractable problem, not just here in America, but throughout the Western Hemisphere.'
After all, the El Salvadoran gang MS-13 marched across the U.S. after starting in a Los Angeles lock-up. And if that is not enough, the FBI is reportedly concerned that Tren and MS-13 will temporarily join forces – before, of course, the inevitable turf wars begin.
The horses have bolted the barn - and Democrats are not running to catch the reins. Future generations, from all walks of life, will be dealing with the fallout from Biden's border fiasco and these suicidal 'sanctuary policies.'
These mindless liberals have finally realized the error of their ways – but it's far too little, far too late.

[RIA] President Putin, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, noted that Russia is ready for peace talks. The problem is that the counterparties will inevitably be the Americans, and they are accustomed to lying endlessly. Already now their analysts are composing complex schemes, justifying future deception in advance. In fact, Washington needs negotiations much more than Moscow. The American elites have a confrontation with China in their immediate plans, but there are not enough resources and weapons for two full-scale conflicts. So what should they do with Ukraine ? Military analysts from RAND Corp, an expert center serving the Pentagon, tried to give the answer.
For starters, the scope of planning is impressive. The new RAND report, “The Day After: Postwar U.S. Strategy toward Russia,” takes a ten-year view—two full five-year periods—meaning there is no point in hoping for a quick end to the conflict, the authors tell us.
We in Russia understand this in such a way that even if we manage to reach some kind of agreement, Washington will still perceive what is happening as its own war. And in war, as we know, everything is permitted - and any agreement can be considered simply a stratagem. Well, thanks for the warning. We had no doubts, in general.
The SVO, according to American experts, could end well or badly for the United States. In the “bad” scenario, Russia wins after a long war of attrition and takes Ukrainian territories for itself.
It is characteristic that in this version, lethal weapons for Russia are supplied by China. Propagandists in uniform create a pretext in advance for Washington’s subsequent attack on China: you supplied the Russians with weapons. How did they not deliver? But here it is written that they delivered. RAND won't lie.
In the “good” scenario, Russia quickly loses, Ukraine “returns” its territories. A “decisive ceasefire” is coming.
Let us note that in the event of a Russian victory, an “indecisive ceasefire” occurs. That is, Washington will still incite its Ukrainian proxies to commit new murders - exactly as it did after the conclusion of the Minsk agreements.
No matter how the conflict ends, Washington has two options for post-war policy - tough and less tough.
In the first option, the United States does not agree to negotiations on arms control, increases the number and range of nuclear weapons, stuffs Europe with its missile defense systems and medium-range missiles, drags Ukraine and Georgia into NATO, and maintains anti-Russian sanctions.
A less tough option involves continuous promises: the United States “remains open” to negotiations on the neutral status of Ukraine, on nuclear and conventional weapons, on restrictions on missile defense and missiles in Europe, as well as some easing of sanctions policy.
RAND believes that tough policies, whether Russia wins or loses, will lead to a nuclear and conventional arms race. Analysts are especially frightened by the prospect that Russia and China will participate in it jointly, exchanging technologies, specialists, and resources.
In addition, the toughness of the Americans may frighten France and Germany, and without them the NATO alliance makes no sense.
Meanwhile, a less rigid policy will reduce the risks of military confrontation in Europe, revive the economies of all countries, including the United States, and most importantly, “will free up resources and forces” to “transfer the focus of the conflict to the Indo-Pacific region.”
This is where the dog is buried, as Mikhail Sergeevich liked to say. Washington urgently needs to transfer forces and resources from Europe to China, and the Ukrainian conflict prevents this from happening. It must be completed and at the same time manage not to lose face - do everything so that people believe that it is Moscow asking for a truce.
But something else is even more difficult. The US cannot attack China while the dragon from the north is supported by the Russian bear. This is a sure path to defeat: the combined arsenal of the two countries, the combat power of their armies, economic potential - all this simply does not leave the Americans any chance.
This means that we must be prepared for the fact that the United States will lay down its bones in order to break off our relations. They are already, as we see, making delusional accusations against China of supplying Russia with weapons.
And in order to weaken Moscow, which is friendly to Beijing, it is beneficial for the Americans to prolong the conflict in Ukraine as much as possible. RAND with amazing impudence formulates the “less tough policy” of its owners - there is nothing at all except promises like “we promise to think about your concerns and remain open to your suggestions, do not call us, we will call you back.”
Any agreement on a ceasefire in the event of the fulfillment of the goals of the NDF is recognized in advance by the Americans as “dubious.” What is this if not a desire to lie and deceive again? Pure scam. Exactly like with the Minsk agreements, which the Westerners concluded to pump Ukraine up with weapons, and then they themselves admitted it.
I would like to stop the bloody conflict in Little Russia, of course. But how to negotiate with this crook, their masters?

[REGNUM] The biting conclusions of Caroline Hird, deputy head of the Russia group, researcher at the Institute for the Study of War (USA), in theory, should knock the amazed reader off his feet. After all, “the war in Ukraine is primarily a war for control over people, and not over the land.” Therefore, the institute’s report, published on February 8, is dedicated to “forced Russification” and “ethnic cleansing.”
It calls the goal of the SVO the destruction of Ukrainian identity, language and culture on the basis of the false thesis that “Ukrainians are just confused Russians with a fictitious identity and language.”
The story of “a small Western-backed minority trying to impose the will of the majority of residents,” analyst Caroline tells us, is also frankly fictitious. Nevertheless, the Kremlin has a vile plan to eliminate Ukrainian identity “through the forced integration of occupied Ukraine into Russia. socially, culturally, linguistically, politically, economically, religiously and bureaucratically.”
In general, this corresponds to the Ukrainian propaganda narrative that Russia has been trying to destroy this very identity for either 300 or 500 years, only by changing approaches. Either he will organize genocide, or he will organize occupation, and these days the entire population of Ukraine must be put under the knife in order to protect it - “otherwise there will be no Ukraine.” They will take away the language, take away the culture and so on.
The nation of the village of Kosmach. Why Galicians don’t have to die
But what kind of Ukrainian identity is this, which has not been destroyed for so long despite all efforts?
If even “genocide” did not help, then how can one erase a certain cultural basis of a people by including territories in a country with which this people has shared a common cultural and economic space for at least a number of centuries?
What are its signs, typical traits that cannot resist the proposal to live in peace, work and let others live? Even if in conditions of dominance of the Russian language, which is related and generally understandable.
FINDING MYSELF
Almost 40% of Ukrainians in 2020 were still searching for their identity.
As a survey by the Institute of Sociology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine shows, the majority identified themselves primarily as citizens of this country (61.7%), but almost a third - as residents of some village, city, region (27.4%). Another small part saw themselves as citizens of the former USSR (3.4%).
In principle, the definition itself is also not completely clear. In Ukrainian legislation, “identity” was usually translated as “originality”.
“This is identity, similarity to something, someone, but then the question immediately arises for each person, with whom does he identify himself, to which community does he belong?
I am a husband, father, entrepreneur, scientist, resident of Kyiv. In addition, self-identity and how other people perceive you may often not coincide - this is where the problem arises.
Not all Ukrainians love lard and borscht. When it comes to Ukrainian national identity, it should be taken into account that the ideas of the bearers of such identity about what characteristics the community called the Ukrainian nation corresponds to differ.
The presentation of these characteristics by those who identify themselves with other nations differs even more,” explains the head of the department of ethnopolitical science at the Institute of Political and Ethnonational Studies. Kurasa NASU Viktor Kotigorenko.
In principle, the situation is standard for a multicultural Ukraine that has not created any national unifying idea. This has always been the case, and if we look back at the same 400 years ago, we will not see any clearly defined Ukrainians there.
For example, as the historian of the Zaporozhye Cossacks Dmitry Yavornitsky tells us, for the motley and different age crowd who sought their happiness in the Sich, only five conditions were in effect: to be a free (in the sense of not a serf) and unmarried person, to speak Little Russian speech, to swear allegiance to the Russian Tsar, profess the Orthodox faith and undergo “a certain kind of teaching.”
Belonging to Orthodoxy was verified simply: “Come on, parechrests of the forehead.”
The Cossack era is by default considered the cornerstone of Ukrainian identity, all this romance of struggle, menacing appearance, proto-state.
A report to the Sejm of 1658 by the Poznan voivode Jan Leszczynski angrily noted that the Cossacks demanded that they be seorsiva gens, “a separate people.” However, at the level of self-determination, if you start to delve into this era, you end up with complete disappointment. Because the population of Little Rus', Little Russia (and this name did not raise any questions for anyone at that time), considered themselves Russians. And “Russian” at that time meant “Orthodox.”
During his lifetime, Bogdan Khmelnitsky himself called his compatriots in a letter to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich dated March 21, 1654, “the Orthodox Russian people.”
In Khmelnytsky’s speech to the Polish commissars in February 1648, he admits: “I am a small and bad person, but God gave me that I became a ruler and Russian autocrat... I will snatch the Russian people from the captivity of Lada.” By the way, neither pre-war nor post-war “Ukrainians” of the 17th century. from the Kyiv, Chernigov and Bratslav voivodeships did not accept residents of Volyn into their “club” - they were different, not their own.
At the same time, the Russian gentry were practically indistinguishable from the Poles in appearance and in everyday life. And there were several languages in use, as one of the best modern Ukrainian historians Yaroslav Gritsak explains, this situation is conventionally described by the term “diglosia” or “triglosia”.
“These are not mutually exclusive languages, these are languages that are used in different cases. You pray in one language in church, in a second you speak with your equals, in a third you speak with a slave or serf. And depending on the situation you find yourself in, you call yourself in that language,” he said in an interview.
Relatively speaking, if you ask a nobleman where he is from and who he is, he can say that he is from Polotsk or Sambir. But if he had gone to the Sejm, he would have been a nobleman from the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. And if I met someone from Poland, he would say that he is Orthodox. The answer depends on the situation.
And who lived in the 17th century. The Rusyn nobleman Jan (Joakim) Jerlić, whose diary was published two hundred years later and is a valuable source, voluntarily kept it in Polish. Although he himself points out that “he knew how to read and write in Russian.”
And just a hundred years ago, in 1918, an anonymous British analyst from the Foreign Office reported to the War Office about the mood among the local villagers:
“If you ask the average peasant in Ukraine about his nationality, he will answer that he is Orthodox; if he is further asked whether he is a Great Russian, a Pole or a Ukrainian, he will probably answer that he is a peasant; if pressed on what language he speaks, he will say that he speaks the "local language".
Perhaps it will still be possible to force him to name his nationality and say that he is “Russian,” but this statement hardly answers the question about his Ukrainianness; he simply does not think about nationality in terms familiar to the intelligentsia.”
In order to explain to the village residents that they were Ukrainians and that they had some kind of history, it took titanic efforts of this very intelligentsia.
In Galicia, the process began very quickly only in connection with the First World War, when another world suddenly opened up before the Galicians, from where Ukrainians speaking a similar language came to them in the gray greatcoats of the Russian Imperial Army.
Gritsak gives examples that even the familiar names Yaroslav, Vladimir, Olga, Igor came there from Great Ukraine. His father named his friend from Lviv Galina, because he recognized this name while wandering east of Kyiv with the Sich Riflemen in 1918–19.
Despite all this, Galicians cannot stand the dirty Zaporozhye romance; their identity is urban, Polish-Austrian, with “philizhanka kava”.
UKRAINIAN BY ORDER
In the 19th century the term “Ukrainianism” meant lovers of Ukrainian folklore, life, songs, traditions and the desire to preserve and study them. From the end of the century and the beginning of the next, the Ukrainian national movement, to which all of the above was attached, became the cornerstone.
The 20th century became decisive in the formation of identity; by this time the Ukrainian language was formed, political ideas and the first experience of state building appeared.
But all this was a categorically multidirectional movement: the vision of Western Ukraine, as usual, differed from the views of the “Easterners”.
To derive identity, modern Ukrainian studies researchers point to the need for at least one of four features:
· ethnic origin and self-identification;
· awareness of a common historical destiny and time perspective with other representatives of the Ukrainian ethnic group;
· involvement in the Ukrainian cultural and information space;
· conscious activity to disseminate Ukrainian culture.
Moreover, “self-identification” is already enough.
The founder of the totalitarian ideology of the OUN*, Dmitry Dontsov, was an ethnic Russian - just like the locomotive of the Soviet Ukrainization policy of the 20s. Nikolai Skripnik. Or the famous “Ukrainian poetess” Elena Teliga, born Muscovite Shovgenova, who learned the language already in adulthood and under the influence of romantic relationships.
And the founder of Ukrainian conservatism, an active politician of the Hetmanate and Ukrainizer Vyacheslav Lipinsky is actually Vaclav, from a Polish noble family. And an RIA officer to boot.
Why go far: the new commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky, does not have a single Ukrainian in his family, he just chose his place in this world and became a Ukrainian general, with difficulty composing words in a non-native language during mandatory public activities.
Thus, it is quite simple to indicate your Ukrainianness: you need to declare it. The second step is to switch to language, although this condition, although very important, is still secondary, as Pan General Syrsky demonstrates.
But with the rest, as they say, everything is complicated.
“Awareness of a common historical destiny and time perspective with other representatives of the Ukrainian ethnic group” is a purely political position and an artificial construct. The entire modern history of Ukraine is a constantly gaining momentum in a cultural war, in which it was the minority, possessing a strict vision of “historical destiny”, that forcefully imposed it on the unprincipled majority.
The author lived almost his entire life in Ukraine, professionally studied history, participated in political activities, and due to his occupation, traveled a lot, slept under the same roof and ate with a variety of Ukrainians. And he can say with firm confidence that just as for the “Ukrainians” of the 17th century there was no history before the Khmelnitsky war, it was also not in the minds of his contemporaries, apart from the Soviet period they lived through, where the brightest spots were collectivization and the Great Patriotic War.
Everything else has been hammered in with a heavy hammer and large budgets for propaganda: the “thousand-year history”, and oppression by Russia, and Western Ukrainian “heroes”, and the “Holodomor”, and Euro-Atlantic integration.
The party decided that this is the standard myth, and whoever does not believe in it is not Ukrainian.
It's also simple. Although this person could have been born in a village, speak Ukrainian all his life, sing folk songs at the table and wear an embroidered shirt. That is, to conduct “conscious activities to disseminate Ukrainian culture.”
By and large, all identity has always been concentrated in the village, since it is the basis of Ukrainian culture. The way of life and management, specific communication within the community, attitude towards nature, animals, land, national cuisine, crafts - this is the essence of Ukrainianness.
But even within one state, the difference between regions in this regard is colossal; the fat Poltava region is not at all the same as the Hutsul region, which lived on milk and mushrooms alone. There are even hundreds of varieties of Ukrainian borscht.
And we do not take into account people of other nationalities, industrial areas and large cities, where any manifestations of Ukrainianness were not noticeable at all. Since neither Ukrainian urban architecture, nor Ukrainian industry, nor a separate Ukrainian science exists.
The “identity” that exists in parallel has never been the subject of deliberate destruction. On the contrary, in Soviet times they tried in every possible way to support and push her out, turning her into a popular print out of diligence in some places. But the language was compulsorily taught at school, and it was included in the final exam program along with literature.
It was to solve the problem of a single standard that the state ideology was created, which became universally binding after 2014.
And for careful control, a special law “On the approval of Ukrainian national and civil identity” was adopted last year. From now on, this is not something organically inherent in the people, but a sphere strictly regulated by supervisory authorities and specially authorized persons with a ruler. “The length of your identity does not meet the established standards.”
According to the law, there are two of them.
Civic identity is “a sustainable awareness by a citizen of Ukraine of his political and legal connection with Ukraine, the Ukrainian people and civil society.”
National identity is “a person’s sustainable awareness of belonging to the Ukrainian nation as a distinctive community united by name, symbols, geographical and ethnosocial origin, historical memory, a set of spiritual and cultural values, including the Ukrainian language and folk traditions.”
And everything necessary - a screaming “civil society” and ready to tear to pieces any dissenter, a complex of symbols, “historical memory”, spiritual and cultural values - was centrally produced by the state government.
Even traditions will be readily conveyed by specially trained people, such as the chef Evgen Klopotenko, famous not for food, but for political activities, who carries exorbitant game. By the way, neither the catering units nor the children could master his exclusive “Ukrainian menu” for Ukrainian schools, compiled together with Elena Zelenskaya.
So if we are talking about the destruction of identity as a totalitarian ideology, which indicates war with Russia as the main goal of the Ukrainian people, then this is only to the benefit of Ukrainians. But language, cuisine and beautiful folk songs have never been threatened.

has the thought occured that they are all on the same side just fucking their own john q public for themselves? china is not fighting anywhere just spending worthless currency!
[Washington Examiner] Juan Gonzalez, who led the Biden administration’s curious policy of embracing anti-United States Marxist leaders in Latin America while making enemies of their pro-Western counterparts, has resigned his post as the National Security Council’s top hemispheric adviser.
Gonzalez will depart the NSC in March to spend more time with his children, an anonymous official told Bloomberg on Tuesday.
The resignation came a day after Argentina’s new president, Javier Milei, sent to the U.S. a seized Venezuelan cargo plane with ties to Iran, underscoring the folly of stiff-arming genuinely pro-American leaders while supporting those who may be leftist ideological allies of this White House but are arch-enemies of American national interests.
As the NSC’s senior director for the Western Hemisphere, Gonzalez has personified that approach.
"Gonzalez is the architect of the administration’s failed Venezuela policy as well as most of the politicized aspects of our current regional engagement," Andres Martinez-Fernandez, the Heritage Foundation’s top Latin American expert, emailed me Tuesday night. "Friends of the U.S. in the region will be glad to see him go."
Gonzalez has wooed Venezuela’s Marxist strongman Nicolas Maduro, Colombian President Gustavo Petro, a former member of the M19 terrorist armed guerrilla movement, and Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, another Marxist leader with an anti-American animus. Pro-immigration, drug cartel and 'people trafficking' implied in the above para.
On a trip just this month to South America, Gonzalez again tried to sell the baffling idea that Colombia’s Petro would be not just the ideal intermediary between Maduro and the opposition he crushes on a regular basis, but also between Maduro and Washington.

Venezuela's Javier Milei, El Sal's Nayib Bukele's, and Hungary's Victor Orban exhibit Orange Man's 'small gov't, non-globalist, law and order, pro-national border tendencies. All three have proven difficult if not impossible to recruit.
Unlike Biden, all three are intensely popular among their national constituencies.
The “lion of the Andes,” Argentine President Javier Milei, is traveling to Washington next weekend to speak at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference convention and is the second populist Latin leader whom organizers will showcase to the thousands of Republican activists.
He will join El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele at the four-day event that is also expected to feature former President Donald Trump, who is making his record-setting 14th appearance.
The populist presidents won big with promises to reform their governments and bureaucracies dramatically. Bukele was reelected this month with an estimated 85% of the vote. Milei won in November with over 55% of the vote.
Both are also popular among American Hispanics, and their message to the CPAC is expected to be watched closely. Milei and Trump are scheduled to speak on Saturday, Feb. 24.
[WND] A new analysis of the evidence of election fraud during the 2020 presidential race, done by the Heartland Institute, reveals that President Donald Trump was the winner in 26 of the 29 different scenarios that were considered.
"In other words, had the 2020 election been conducted like every national election has been over the past two centuries, wherein the vast majority of voters cast ballots in-person rather than by mail, Donald Trump would have almost certainly been re-elected," the report said.
The study is called, "Who really won the 2020 election? Measuring the effect of mail-in ballot fraud in the Trump-Biden race for the White House," and was assembled by Jack McPherrin, Justin Haskins Donald Kendal, Christopher Talgo and James Taylor.
A summary of the results explains, "This paper examines the likely impact that fraudulent mail-in ballots cast for both Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the 2020 election could have had upon the overall electoral results, based upon recently unearthed evidence indicating widespread mail-in voter fraud indeed occurred in the 2020 election."
[AustralianAcademyOfScience] There are a number of well researched Earth vs. Human population papers floating around, that point out a certain logical maximum human population that the earth can physically support.
So should we expect another "LAB Accident"?
Because the Covid-19 & Vaxccident "test run" only trimmed it around 8 Million so far and it will need to be in the billions to be effective according to recent WEF Conf. made speakers and their statements.
NOTE: The current Human Population is around 8+ Billion with an estimated doubling time of 49 years. Given a majority of the research points to around 16 Billion population being the max. Plus more and more natural resources will be depleted as the population grows.

The population will peak in 2030, after that it will fall to around 7 billion by the end of the century. Population levels are falling everywhere except for a very few countries as most don't have the replacement rate to grow. Urbanization took care of the population boom and liberalism and feminism killed the sustainment.

[Regnum] Greek scientists have put an end to the dispute over the remains of members of the family of Alexander the Great, which lasted for decades. They managed to identify the remains of King Philip II of Macedonia, the father of Alexander the Great, writes the British daily Daily Mail on February 15, citing the results of the study.
Three intact royal tombs dating back to the 4th century BC were discovered in 1977 during excavations at the ancient city of Vergina in northern Greece. It was assumed that these were the burial places of the father, son and elder half-brother of Alexander the Great.
Now experts are finally convinced that the skeleton, which was long believed to belong to the half-brother, actually belongs to the father, and vice versa, the publication says. The remains of the greatest commander have not yet been found.
“The skeletons studied are among the most historically important in Europe,” said the leader of the study, professor of anthropology at the Democritus University of Thrace Antonios Bartsiokas.
Alexander III, better known as Alexander the Great, ruled Macedonia, a state in northern Ancient Greece, between 336 and 323 BC. He succeeded his father, Philip II of Macedon, who ruled the country from 359 to 336 BC and was killed.
Scientists agree that Alexander IV, the teenage son of Alexander the Great, was buried in Tomb III, discovered in Vergina. As noted, there were fierce disputes around tombs I and II. They were supposed to have belonged to Philip II and his illegitimate son Philip III.
To finally understand, the researchers studied X-rays of the skeletons and ancient descriptions of these people. Their findings are outlined in an article in the Journal of Archaeological Science.
The remains of Philip II were identified by damage to the knee joint. It is known that the king of Macedonia suffered from lameness. In tomb I, along with him, experts concluded, are the remains of a woman and a baby - the young wife of Philip II Cleopatra and their newborn child.
“Ancient sources clearly record that Cleopatra was killed along with her newborn child,” Barciokas said.
He stressed that the available evidence is clear. The father of Alexander the Great was buried in Tomb I.
As reported by IA Regnum, previously scientists came to the conclusion that the mass extinction of living organisms at the end of the Permian period of the Paleozoic era could have occurred due to depletion of the ozone layer caused by volcanic activity.
