Additional hidden horror: The die off of worms in farmland.
The use of de-wormers in cattle/sheep/horses and the subsequent spreading of manure on crop fields and into water courses means that the earthworm (and all its many relatives) are being poisoned. Once the worm numbers fall too far the land becomes impermeable to water and therefore infertile.
On the Russia point — the Bloomberg leak is real and significant, but worth reading carefully. Finance officials warning that spending is unaffordable is partly their job, and a leak this sensitive may be a move, not just a symptom: the economic bloc using the one audience the Kremlin can't spin to force discipline on the war hawks. But autocracies fund unaffordable wars far longer than the spreadsheets allow. "Unaffordable" has been the forecast since 2022; it hasn't proven decisive yet.
Well hopefully Putin is forced to withdraw from Ukraine and gets booted out ..wishful thinking as well as seeing Trump humiliated asap and during the mid-terms. Hopefully too much to ask for but the world would be a much better place without these appalling men plus Netanyahu another violent aggressive genocidal thug. The world deserves so much better!
You are entirely missing what's actually happening in the world's climate. We are about to experience weather disaster after weather disaster and we have an incompetent POTUS who likes to throw hats and rolls of paper towels at people whose lives have been devastated--all because a bunch of woman hating bastards were allowed to vote to imprison women. The sun too is acting up. We will be fortunate to avoid a huge CME that shuts down our grid, possibly for months. We are likely to have little or no growing season this year because of climate change. Crop failure is a serious threat. All of this is exteriorization of the hate, anger, and fear one man chose to pump up in order to divide and dupe the people for his own benefit--and because half the people were too stupid to see they were being played.
What evidence is there that a "huge CME" is likely? What evidence is there that "we" are likely to have "little or no growing season"? Certainly crop yields are being affected by climate change around the world, but to suggest some kind of crop failure globally is, to put it mildly, a bit of an over-statement. There are serious issues with global warming to be faced, but it is necessary to maintain a reasoned and balanced approach to them.
I gather space weather is off your radar. I have BAs in interdisciplinary natural sciences and psychology. I worked hard to educate myself. I paid a lot of money to get the knowledge because I wanted to be able to predict likely outcomes. It's not my job to educate you. Good luck.

Thanks for doing this - it’s very helpful.
