#Cities

We are justly responding to every Russian strike on our cities and communities. This war must be ended, and that is possible only by intensifying pressure on the sole cause of this war.

Large cities possess a curious dual personality. During the day, they perform. Before dawn, they think. New essay: what 18 months of aimless morning walks through Brussels taught me about writing, cities, and why good ideas refuse to be summoned. https://open.substack.com/pub/nordicledger/p/eight-euros-well-spent?r=mwsn6&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

Eight Euros Well Spent

Today, our long-range sanctions worked across three areas on Russian territory, as well as on our temporarily occupied land and at sea. In particular, in response to Russian strikes on our civilian infrastructure and on our cities and communities, two major logistics facilities…

EU Action Now – Protect Ukraine, Defend Europe Every Russian ballistic missile that strikes Ukrainian cities is also an attack on European security. The EU must act with urgency: 🇪🇺 More Patriot and air defense systems. 🇪🇺 More interceptor missiles. 🇪🇺 Expand Europe's defense https://t.co/EdNuI4zZK5 #ProtectUkraine #DefendEurope #EUActionNow #UA #EU #RU

To all those Captain Hindsights who, from the safety of Western cities, insist that Hamas and Hezbollah never posed an existential threat to Israel—and that Israelis should simply have learned to live with the recurrent rocket fire and the occasional massacre of 1,200 civilians: #Israel #Hamas #Hezbollah #IL #PS #LB

I haven’t heard much about antisemitisme during the presentation of the Irish presidency. Yet a big issue in Europe. As you know we still need to protect Jewish schools and institutions in many European cities and this is a fact we should not be comfortable with.

Last night, once more, Russian aggression killed numerous civilians and destroyed residential buildings in Kyiv and other cities across Ukraine. These indiscriminate rocket and drone attacks are textbook war crimes and echo Russia’s carpet bombing of Syrian cities or of Chechnya. #StopRussianAggression #UkraineWar #WarCrimes #RU #UA #SY #CHE

Germany's cities are going broke. Towns in wealthy Baden-Württemberg have been walloped by the woes of the car sector. But even places with a broader economic base are staring into the abyss https://t.co/o0ecfmYAum #Germany #Economy #CarIndustry #DE

"Black August" is coming, Russia. Load up on gas now. And food, sugar, salt, matches. Leave the cities. August is unavoidable. https://t.co/oJcFmriAJR #BlackAugust #SurvivalPrep #GasShortage #RU

This is the tragedy of great cities: the more desirable they become, the less they belong to the people who made them desirable. By @aporia9n #UrbanTragedy #Gentrification #CityLife #Therearenospecificcountryreferencesinthetweetprovided.Therefore #theresponseis:

Obecnie pracuję już w Düsseldorfie, gdzie jutro wraz z burmistrzem miasta podpiszemy umowę o przystąpieniu Düsseldorfu do sieci UNBROKEN Cities. Kolejne europejskie miasto zostanie partnerem Lwowa we wspieraniu Ukrainy i rozwijaniu projektów rehabilitacyjnych

The heatwave scorching western Europe is the most severe and widespread ever and is only possible due to the climate crisis driven by fossil fuel burning, scientists have said. Half of 850 largest cities are also enduring their worst ever heat stress https://t.co/ACFr6y2xY1 #ClimateCrisis #Heatwave #FossilFuels #EU

Four reasons for my super intelligence. Intelligence is determined solely by the supply of oxygen to the brain. The essence of genetically inherited intelligence. The genes of Jews and Armenians, even a small part in the heritage of people of mixed origin, dominate and they essentially have the intellectual qualities of Armenians and Jews. Genetically inherited intelligence is a highly developed capillary network in the brain, transmitted by inheritance, which powerfully increases associative and logical thinking by establishing new connections between important facts often very distant from each other in origin, have hypothetical and theoretical thinking and this is the essence of creative, discovery thinking. The reason is the liberation from hard physical labour, primitive agriculture over the course of many generations living in conditions of civilisation that creates urban life, officials, merchants and a wide range of intellectual professions. In the body there is competition for the use of oxygen between the brain, heart and muscles. Hard work takes oxygen from the brain and heart, which damages mental abilities and shortens life. Armenians have a civilisation of 400 generations, or even twice as long, if we assume the archaeological findings of cities 14 thousand years old. The reason for my intelligence is that I am a northerner and have genetically inherited intelligence with Armenian roots. The northern climate leads to intelligence because cold air is denser, contains more material consistency and supplies the body with much more oxygen than warm air. This effect has been fully manifested only in Northern Europeans. My super intelligence is unique and has only manifested itself in me for the entire period of humanity's existence, for two more unique reasons, and it is the constant maintenance of a high level of oxygen in my body through constant breathing exercises with an emphasis on holding the air for a maximum of 30-40 seconds, 42 breaths in 30 minutes every morning, and the unique intake through osmosis, rubbing into the skin, of B vitamins, which are crucial for the absorption of oxygen by cells by rubbing them into the skin, in the area of ​​the ribs, stomach and neck with a wet hand, grinding the substances into powder, I absorb them 100%, while all other people throughout the history of mankind absorb them only 5%. All this leads to maximum vitality in all its forms of manifestation: physical, emotional, intellectual and musical.
