Foreign Affairs › Protesters Storms Venezuela National Assembly, Beat Politicians To Pulp(photos) by Explorers(op): 5:14am On Jul 06, 2017*

The attackers were supporting Maduro against opposition demands for elections to remove him from office.

Government supporters burst into Venezuela's opposition-controlled congress on Wednesday, witnesses said, attacking lawmakers and journalists in the latest flare-up of violence during a political crisis.

Hours afterwards by late afternoon, a crowd of roughly 100 people was still besieging the building, trapping people inside, witnesses said.

Several dozen people ran past the gates with pipes, sticks and stones and went on the attack.

They injured at many opposition lawmakers who stumbled bloodied and dazed around the assembly's corridors, witnesses said.

Venezuela's opposition is demanding general elections to end socialist rule and solutions to the OPEC nation's brutal economic crisis.

The government says its foes are seeking a violent coup with U.S. support.

prettyboi1989:
quite thoughtful, but hope you know an icbm is way faster than a normal missile, so they will need a missile that can travel as fast as the icbm inorder to intercept it. now if dey deploy the use of a supersonic plane, it will make possible the deployment of a missile that can hit an icbm head on. i feel so
however, the us has a ground based midcourse defense which can help intercept icbms but the question is how accurate it will be, what if it misses the icbm?

Actually i can't explain this better, but do you know that when they launch or fire some missiles at targets most esp fighter jets, they track or go after the jet to all direction(Up, down, left&right) untill they hit or destroy the plane or may be run out of projector.

What's attracting these missiles to their targets, what are they following or tracking huh

I think its the heat of the afterburner, exhaust, and every plane and launched weapon has that, making them possible to be tracked.

The defence missiles can't miss the heat of the ICBM.

see ehn, a missile launched from a jet that can avoid radar detection will cause the most damage. why? they wouldnt see it coming. why do you think stealth tech is being developed?
asides from all these, the us is planning to make use of unmanned drones fitted with laser to effectively take down icbms

I don't believe that nuclear warheads launched by a fighter will wreck more havoc or do cause more damages.

If you google world's deadliest nuclear missile, bombs, they're far far to large for a plane to carry.

They can only be launched from the base, ship, or sub.

Some can weigh as much as over 40,000kg.

prettyboi1989:
so u think nuclear bombs can only be launched from the ground? you havent heard about air launched ballistic missiles and oh submarines are capable to carrying and launching nuclear warheads.
do u know that nuclear warheads can be intercepted minutes after it has been launched? do you actually think a nuclear bomb will be allowed to fly all the way to usa from nk? i still refer to the raptor because it is the fastest bird usa has which is capable of intercepting such bomb.
the pic is just an example, oh and those russian planes were capable of carrying nuclear bombs so dont think it can only be launched from the ground

The plane can carry nuclear warhead but not the size of the one launched by NK this week, will be far smaller.

When they launch a nuclear weapon, immediately the heat signal will be detected and there will be alarm.

They notify the government, authority, and make decisions.

I dont think there will be enough time to get a pilot on a plane, arm the plane, clear it and take off to intercept a flying bomb.

I think what they do is after confirming an enemies launch, they launch another missile to intercept or destroy it.

Its the defence system that will detecte it, and automatically launch a counter missile.

Weapons experts in the United States said that the missile has the potential to reach areas of Alaska.

On Tuesday, the US, Japan, and South Korea said intelligence suggested themissile flew for about 40 minutes and reached an altitude of 1,500 miles, which would be longer and higher than any similar North Korean test previously reported.

It also covered a distance of about 580 miles.

'That range would not be enough to reach the lower 48 states or the large islands of Hawaii, but would allow it to reach all of Alaska.'

President Donald Trump called an emergency meeting on the 4th of July to formulate a 'measured response' to North Korea's first intercontinental ballistic missile test, amid fears it could reach as far as Alaska.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has confirmed North Korea successfully tested an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) capable of hitting Alaska.

And Tillerson says that’s a new escalation of the threat posed to the United States and the world by North Korea.

Tillerson says the U.S. will bring North Korea’s action before the United Nations Security Council.

His statement provided the first confirmation of the U.S. conclusion that the missile was an ICBM.

The U.S. military’s initial assessment was that North Korea fired an intermediate-range missile.

The U.S. has requested a closed-door meeting of the United Nations Security Council on the latest launch, a spokesman for the US mission to the United Nations says.

The spokesman said the meeting of the 15-member council was likely to be scheduled for Wednesday.

Jobs/Vacancies › 85,000 People Applied For 30 Jobs At A Bank In Italy by Explorers(op): 9:09pm On Jul 04, 2017

Italy's unemployment crisis has been put under the spotlight once again as 85,000 people applied for just 30 jobs at a bank.

Bank of Italy in Rome advertised thirty deputy assistant roles at a junior wage of €28,000 (£24,800) and received nearly 3,000 candidates for each post.

The crippling lack of work in the country means nearly 40 per cent of youngsters don't have a job and the overall figure is at 11 per cent.

Unemployment in the eurozone remained at the same level in May with the Eurostat statistics agency said the jobless rate across the 19 nations stayed at 9.3 percent.

Europe-wide, the unemployment rate is at its lowest level since March 2009, though the rate was up in trouble spots Italy and France.

Italy, with its economy shaken by recent banking failures, saw unemployment up from 11.2 percent to 11.3 percent.

One of the duties of the deputy assistants would be to feed cash into machines that separate genuine and counterfeit notes, according to The Telegraph.

The 85,000 applicants were eventually whittled down to a 8,000 shortlist.

All of those vying for the junior positions are academic first-class graduates,according to the paper.

They will now enter a rigorous recruitment process where they will be forced to sit an exam on statistics, mathematics, economics and English and will be subject to a second oral exam.

The thirty successful applicants, which make up just 0.35 percent of those who originally went for the jobs, will take up full-time employment next year -a sought-after position in Italy.

Labour laws in Italy make it difficult for employers to get rid of incompetent workers, meaning people are constantly chasing jobs in the public sector that come with benefits and pensions.

It has resulted in thousands of people at a time applying for relatively mundane jobs.

In 2015, 32,000 applied for 94 admin roles.

But these ones just know the right thing, they just believe in humanity.

Almost £3million was also raised for the victims in less than 48 hours after the blaze.

Donations continued to flood in as families spent their nights in temporary accommodation after losing their homes.

Victims are being housed in a combination of council homes and local hotels, while others are staying with friends.

Thousands of cans of food, loaves of bread, Beverages, toiletries, clothing items, shoes, drugs, and other items have been donated to help the victims of a devastating fire.

In fact, Kensington and Chelsea council have received so many things that they have released a statement saying they cannot take any more.

These are the £1.7million flats which have been offered to survivors of the Grenfell Tower blaze.

More than 100 offers of long-term accommodation have been made to survivors of the Grenfell Tower blaze, which killed at least 80 people.

At least one of the properties being offered is three and a half miles away from the apartment block, in a townhouse next to Worlds End social housing estate in Chelsea.

All of the displaced families will have their rent payments suspended for a year from the date they move in, officials have confirmed.

Furniture, bed linen and crockery will be provided to families to help them make the transition to more permanent accommodation, she said.

A half-naked woman was filmed dangling from electric cables above street in China after her alleged lover's wife reportedly arrived home earlier than expected.

In the distressing clip, shared online, the woman's limp body can be seen hanging from the power lines as a crowd forms in the street below her.

Several men step forward to help the 'mistress', who is wearing tiny red shorts and a matching crop top.

A long ladder is shown being rested against the wall nearest the woman in a bid to bring her down.

It is not clear how badly the woman was injured in the ordeal.

Danhumprey:
I like the discussion here. quite incisive. but I noticed that you guys are focusing on the US and the POTUS's power to launch a nuclear strike.

I'll like to read about other countries with nuclear capabilities like Russia, North Korea, etc, and their chain of command as regards launching a nuclear strike.

Actually, the threat is about 'IF' it happens, possibilities.

The bros is right that a President, most especially Trump cannot just decide to nuke, that's if the country has not been threatened or attacked.

Clearance, activation codes given to 5 or more different people in the government, military are needed.

We all know that nuking is not like a Gun that someone can just decide to take and fire anytime.

But every country cant be like the U.S.

What about those countries where they dont care about humanity, where they believed that the more you kill the higher your reward.

See this NK bros testing warhead up&down

We're always thinking that the US, Russia, China will start WW3.

The least underestimated countries might spark it.

U.S. is not vulnerable to attack because of their defence systems, they should shut it down for 48hrs and see if some countries wont attack.

Still searching for what yoy asked for.

People Will Survive.

Billions of people will die in the nuclear holocaust.

We can expect over 500 million people to die immediately in the blast.

Billions more will be killed by radiation, starve or freeze to death while they struggle in the new world.

There’s every reason to believe, though, that a hardy handful of people will make it through.

It won’t be a lot of people, but that’s a far more positive vision of the post-apocalyptic future than we used to have.

In the 1980s, scientists were in a near-consensus that the whole planet would be wiped out.

But today, we have a bit more faith that a few people will make it through.

After 25 to 30 years or more, the clouds will clear, the temperatures will go back to normal, and life will be able to begin again.

Plants will grow.

They may not be as lush as before.

But after a few decades, the world may even look like modern Chernobyl, where thick forests grow over the remains of a dead city.

Life will go on, and people will rebuild.

But the world will never again be the same.

There Will Be Massive Storms.

During those first two or three years of frozen darkness, we can expect the world to be racked by storms unlike any we’ve seen.

The debris sent into the stratosphere won’t just block out the Sun, it will also affect the weather.

It will change how clouds are formed, making them much more efficient at producing rain.

Until things go back to normal, we can expect a near-constant rain to fall on the Earth in heavy storms.

Things will be worse by the ocean.

Though the temperature of the Earth will rapidly plummet into a nuclear winter, the oceans will take a lot longer to cool.

They will still be relatively warm, which will cause massive storms along the ocean front.

Hurricanes and typhoons will wreak havoc across the world’s coasts, and they’ll rage on for years.
