From Ukraine to Congress: The Controversial Vote of a Native Daughter

Spartz’s Contradictory Stance on Ukraine Aid

Representative Victoria Spartz, the sole Ukrainian-born member of Congress,​ has been a vocal advocate for her homeland in its conflict with Russia. However, ‌when⁣ a $61​ billion aid package for the war ​came up⁣ for a vote in the House, she ⁢surprisingly voted⁣ against it.

Instead of blindly supporting the Ukrainian cause, Spartz emphasized the need for better oversight of U.S. funds and⁣ opposed giving ⁤unconditional support. She argued that prioritizing U.S. border security is crucial.

Her stance aligns her with conservative House Republicans and resonates with voters in her deeply conservative ​central Indiana district. Amid a challenging reelection battle in the upcoming GOP primary, Spartz faces scrutiny for her initial decision not to seek another term, a choice she later reversed.

A charred papyrus scroll reveals a secret: location of Plato’s tomb

ARCHEOLOGY

Thanks to new and advanced technologies, the famous papyrus scrolls of Herculaneum are becoming readable after almost 2,000 years. A first discovery: Plato’s tomb.

Since 1752, researchers have been working to decipher the over 1,000 papyrus rolls found in the Villa dei Papiri, in Herculaneum. This is not obvious, because they were charred in 79 AD, during the eruption of Vesuvius, which also buried Pompeii under a layer of ash and lava 19 meters thick.

Today, papyrus scrolls look like large lumps of coal. They are extremely vulnerable, but because they were well preserved in the ash layer, their contents also remained potentially accessible. Thanks to new imaging techniques and recently also to artificial intelligence, three researchers have managed to decipher a third of a scroll, about a thousand Greek words. Graziano Ranocchia, papyrologist at the University of Pisa, told the Ansa agency.

Academy

The partially deciphered papyrus was written by the Epicurean philosopher Philodemus of Gadara. Many scrolls come from his hand, leading some historians to believe that it was his library that was found. Additionally, hundreds of other roles are said to be buried under the ashes.

The text concerns the Academy of Athens, a very well-known topic on which so far much information has already come from Philodemus. The academy was a ‘university’ where Plato and his successors taught knowledge. One of the revelations is the quite exact location of the buria

The New Phase of Conflict: Israel and Iran on the Brink of Nuclear War

2024-04-29 10:42 Xu Zixuan United News Network Since Iran’s Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran and Israel have been in a state of open hostility. The picture shows Iran, Germany and Iran…

Iran and Israel have been in a state of open hostility since Iran’s Islamic Revolution in 1979. Tehran often uses proxies such as Lebanon’s Hezbollah and the Yemeni Houthi armed forces to attack Israel After decades of proxy wars, Iraq and Israel are a new period of direct conflict has finally begun. In mid-April 2024, Iran launched 170 drones, more than 30 cruise missiles, and more than 120 ballistic missiles at Israel (a total of more than 300 attacks Israel cooperated with Western and regional allies to intercept most of the offenses successfully). There were almost no injuries.

Soon after, Israel launched a counterattack. According to media reports, there have been explosions at the airport in Isfahan province in Iran and at the Natanz nuclear military facility in the province Iranian officials have claimed to have shot down several Israeli drones without causing casualties. Israel’s action could blow up the radar of the S-300 air defense system at the Natanz nuclear facility and is also a warning from Israel to Iran’s nuclear program.

In fact, in the past, Israel managed to avoid attacking Iran directly, but spared no effort to fight Iran’s nuclear program, such as murdering many nuclear scientists, launching multiple cyber attacks, and even blowing up nuclear facilities to up Therefore, after the Israeli attack, the Iranian military emphasized that it already knew information about the nuclear facilities of the “Zionist enemy”.

After a round of bombing, Israel and Iran are still making harsh words from afar, but it is not difficult to see that they have no intention of continuing to escalate avoiding the intervention of the United States and other major powers to worsen the situation Even harder to clean. Although both sides have exercised restraint and avoided an all-out war, this crisis has brought the war situation in the Middle East to a new stage, which may result in the shadow of a nuclear conflict.
