Here’s the Real Deal, Joe:… by Bohdan Yuri
Here’s the Real Deal Joe:
In 2014 you were Vice President and you watched as President Barack Obama and the Western Democracies did nothing to stop Putin’s last excursion into Ukraine. Instead you and the West allowed Putin to annex Crimea and parts of Donbas. The U.S. then forgot about Ukraine.

International Decade of Water for Sustainable Development 2018-2028 by Rene Wadlow
On 22 March, World Water Day, the United Nations General Assembly proclaimed “The International Decade for Action: Water for Sustainable Development 2018-2028.

There have already been two U.N.-sponsored Water Decades: 1981-1990, and a second decade called U.N. Water for Life Decade, 2005-2015.

Urbanization, population growth, desertification, drought and climate change all put pressure on water supply and use.
