Almost like they would never make such a radical decision on their own...🤓

Consistent gets us back to where we should be on the texture

Many are now asking whether the United Nations has any future at all if it cannot fulfil its first promise of maintaining international peace and security. Has the UN reached the end of its lifespan? It does, therefore, appear as though we are witnessing the collapse of the UN-led international peace and security system in real time. https://theconversation.com/venezuela-gaza-ukraine-is-the-un-failing-272703

I always reason that even as a single country the United States is extremely divided politically so it makes sense that the duel power can sometimes be divided temporarily.

First Sky Map from NASA’s SPHEREx Observatory By Monika Luabeya 06 Jan 2026 NASA’s SPHEREx Observatory has mapped the entire sky in 102 infrared colors, as seen here in this image released on Dec. 18, 2025. This image features a selection of colors emitted primarily by stars (blue, green, and white), hot hydrogen gas (blue), and cosmic dust (red). While not visible to the human eye, these 102 infrared wavelengths of light are prevalent in the cosmos, and observing the entire sky this way enables scientists to answer big questions, including how a dramatic event that occurred in the first billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second after the big bang influenced the 3D distribution of hundreds of millions of galaxies in our universe. In addition, scientists will use the data to study how galaxies have changed over the universe’s nearly 14-billion-year history and learn about the distribution of key ingredients for life in our own galaxy.

NASA Webb Finds Early-Universe Analog’s Unexpected Talent for Making Dust NASA Webb Mission Team Goddard Space Flight Center 06 Jan 2026 Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have spotted two rare kinds of dust in the dwarf galaxy Sextans A, one of the most chemically primitive galaxies near the Milky Way. The finding of metallic iron dust and silicon carbide (SiC) produced by aging stars, along with tiny clumps of carbon-based molecules, shows that even when the universe had only a fraction of today’s heavy elements, stars and the interstellar medium could still forge solid dust grains. This research with Webb is reshaping ideas about how early galaxies evolved and developed the building blocks for planets, as NASA explores the secrets of the universe and our place in it.

Scientists Identify ‘Astronomy’s Platypus’ with NASA’s Webb Telescope NASA Webb Mission Team Goddard - 06 Jan 06 2026 After combing through NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s archive of sweeping extragalactic cosmic fields, a small team of astronomers at the University of Missouri says they have identified a sample of galaxies that have a previously unseen combination of features. Principal investigator Haojing Yan compares the discovery to an infamous oddball in another branch of science: biology’s taxonomy-defying platypus. “It seems that we’ve identified a population of galaxies that we can’t categorize, they are so odd. On the one hand they are extremely tiny and compact, like a point source, yet we do not see the characteristics of a quasar, an active supermassive black hole, which is what most distant point sources are,” said Yan. The research was presented in a press conference at the 247th meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Phoenix.

Nah couple of years ago a Russian Orthodox clergyman commented the war in Ukraine was “a crusade to safeguard Orthodox values and the unity of the faithful.” Of course, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church is also Orthodox and, prior to the war, was a suitable place to worship for a Russian Orthodox if they did not have a local church of their own to attend.

Just take note that following comes from the state own Russian RT channel. Russia treats its soldiers as warriors on a holy mission from God, President Vladimir Putin said after attending a Christmas service on Wednesday. The president met with veterans of the Ukraine conflict and their families at the Saint George the Victorious Church outside Moscow. “You should be rightfully proud of your fathers and your mothers, as the Russian people have always been proud of their warriors,” Putin told a group of children. “We often call the Lord the Savior because he came to earth to save all people. It is the same with our warriors, because they are always, under the direction of the Lord, on a mission to defend the fatherland and its people,” he added. “At all times, Russia has viewed its warriors as carrying out a holy mission under the direction of the Lord,” Putin said.https://www.rt.com/russia/630683-putin-russian-soldiers-mission-god/

KOTS hmmm? Well UK is not invading anyone, USA acts alone not as a duel power in this regard. Duel world power? Not sure ... they seem to be very divided on the issues. But perhaps those issues do not erase the relationship they have as a duel world power? Prime minister assures colleagues he may one day stand up to Donald Trump – but not yet. Starmer has publicly backed the Danish prime minister after she demanded the US stop its threats to forcibly take over Greenland, which is largely autonomous but remains part of the Danish kingdom, for security and mineral resources. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/05/keir-starmer-masterclass-hedging-bets-venezuela-raid

Stress produces many problems, yet seems difficult to avoid or reduce. Sizes are not consistent.

Fabric can be purchased in many sizes.

Competing for world domination. A futile exercise.

Trump looks to be desperate to get Greenland, whether they want to submit to that or not. I don't follow the news too much, so I don't know why he wants it so badly. But whatever it is turns him into a bully.

Are the kings of the north and south doing the same things? Invading lands?

US President Donald Trump has been discussing "a range of options" to acquire Greenland, including use of the military, the White House said.https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwyg1jg8xkmo

WT 2015 8/15 "Keep in Expectation" para 17: "Events on the world scene clearly indicate that Bible prophecy is now being fulfilled and that the end of this wicked system of things is imminent. Therefore, we should not assume that much time is needed for the state of this world to develop to the point where "the ten horns" and "the wild beast" of Revelation 17:16 turn on Babylon the Great....... The end of this entire system of things is not far off."

Texture is how a surface feels or looks, and a computer can be trained to notice those patterns so it can tell the difference between things like smooth metal, rough wood, or soft fabric. This is quite different, from detecting wet or dry, such as sand, because sand would be the texture.

Jehovah wiped the earth clean because wickedness had filled it completely. That shows He does not ignore wrongdoing indefinitely, even when it seems to go on for a long time. At the same time, He protected those who listened and obeyed Him, while continuing to judge individuals according to what they knew and how their conscience functioned (Romans 2:14, 15). This reminds us that our safety is found in trusting Jehovah and doing what he asks, even when others choose a different path.
