Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty says that members will come to each other's defence if attacked. That's been talked about a lot re. the Ukraine war.

What isn't mentioned as much is that Article 5 is limited geographically to territory touching the Atlantic Ocean North of the Tropic of Cancer. Which means that Hawaii being attacked doesn't trigger the alliance (since it lies entirely in the Pacific) even though it is politically part of the US. It is also apparently why the treaty was not triggered during the Falklands crisis in the eighties (the Falklands are owned by the UK, an alliance member, but are too far South).

Can you image why the Aussies fought the Nazi's under the conditions that those people arrived on that continent as criminal containees?

Ponder the pretenses that may have appeared ... even aboriginals pitched in ...

Um, the Aussies actually weren't involved in the war against the Nazis. They were fending off the Japanese army in WWII.
 
ACtually they were, much of their effort was diverted home after PEarl Harbor but they were involved in Europe as well:

Thank you Gord ... I've been accused of lying many times by the pious ... but no offense being hypo ... subtle thinker ... I'm a nobody here ... very stupid my fore runners said ... is this a mark or smear? Twain ...

Imagine that image of a thinker on the John ... naked as a Jay ... blue? No it worked it's way out eventually by power driven motives ... I go into relief! Back stage ...
 
Oh f---, I questioned your statement. I was not intending to accuse you of lying, just question. I'm not really a modern historian but an ancient one. It was an invitation to support what you said, not moan about being accused of lying. Gord did that for you. Look at his example.

Thanks for the correction.

Oh don't fret, Mendala, ... I've been accused of lying so much it is laid out in my fate ... much of these from high levels in the edifice of the churched!

Now I have to deal with the Executive Ministry of this region ... as I deal with the dead! One could say the UNA WOKE! Do they understand the Job???

Imagine flat out appearances ...
 
after feeling a bit awkward and exposed

i am now liking very much scoop tops :3

Also today wore a tank top for the first time in forever and am also enjoying that

will have to get used to bare shoulders and pits tho

(i wore a wrap)
 
Pits were the obliette in the dungeon presentation ... bottom end of the castle as Ba' say! Unlikely folk were put there Tobias forgotten ... to un rave-El one must know a great field of word ... a mysterious stretch that extends on and on when you get into th' etude ... ET Ude Brute? Right out of Shakespearean phenomena ... under all of that another representation ... Gnostic humus! Nos hite you say? Am Irish gob*lin ... hobbled ...
 
Does it still have a risk of cancer?
That seems to be still indeterminate?
It seems that we haven't been around long enough to generate actual empirical data

Though two studies have produced useful results
This doc has such a cool first name :3

There are other risks as well
I am experimenting with herbal HRT. Going the Witchy Wyrd Way. One of the suggestions is Licorice Root and it has a possible nasty side effect of increase in blood presssure if too high a dosage or used for too long eek

This is all so cool :3

Green Tea is can apparently be used. And I like tea :3

I was wondering in general, not just breast cancer.

Hadn't heard that for green tea before. I know in the Asian cultures, where HRT use is lower among post-menopausal women, soy is given at least some of the credit since it contains estrogen analogues.
