Mellisuga helenae aka the "bee hummingbird" is the smallest known bird. Also called a zunzuncito, this tiny bird is native to Cuba.
When I finally get over to Cuba, I'll be keeping my eyes open. I'm guessing that getting one to sit in my hand is pretty much impossible.

The 12th Main Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense operates a dozen central storage facilities for nuclear #weapons. Known as “Object S” sites and scattered across the Russian Federation, they contain thousands of nuclear warheads and hydrogen bombs with a wide variety of explosive yields. For the past three months, President Vladimir #Putin and other Russian officials have been ominously threatening to use #nuclearweapons in the war against #Ukraine. According to Pavel Podvig, the director of the Russian Nuclear Forces Project and a former research fellow at the #Moscow Institute of #Physics and #Technology, now based in #Geneva, the long-range ballistic missiles deployed on land and on submarines are Russia’s only nuclear weapons available for immediate use. If Putin decides to attack Ukraine with shorter-range, “tactical” nuclear weapons, they will have to be removed from an Object S site—such as Belgorod-22, just 25 miles from the Ukrainian border—and transported to #military bases. It will take hours for the weapons to be made combat-ready, for warheads to be mated with cruise missiles or ballistic missiles, for hydrogen bombs to be loaded on planes. The United States will most likely observe the movement of these weapons in real time: by means of satellite #surveillance, cameras hidden beside the road, local agents with binoculars. And that will raise a question of existential importance: What should the United States do?

Comment les #Narcos ont Envahi #Miami dans les Années 80 ? - #professiongangster
Lors des années 80, Miami a été le théâtre d’une terrible #guerre liée au #trafic de #cocaïne.
Différents #cartels originaires d’ #Amérique du Sud ( #Cuba, #Colombie entre autres) ont effectivement fait régner la #terreur dans le sud de la #Floride.
Nombreuses étaient alors les #victimes (la plupart innocentes).Pour comprendre comment une telle guerre de la #drogue a pu s’amorcer, je vous propose dans ce #documentaire de retracer l’ #Histoire du #banditisme floridien.
En commençant par les années 20 et en terminant par les années 80 (période pendant laquelle Miami était considéré comme la capitale mondiale de la drogue).Ainsi, dans cette vidéo, nous nous pencherons sur les #gangsters qui ont joué un rôle déterminant dans l’acheminement de produits illicites à Miami.
Parmi eux, on peut notamment citer #PabloEscobar, #FabioOchoaRestrepo, #RafaelCardonaSalazar, #MaxMermelstein et bien sûr #GriseldaBlanco.
Jessica Buxbaum’s latest investigation exposes how the Israeli arms industry uses occupied #Palestine as a testing ground for new #weapons and surveillance systems that will later be sold to international clients.
Just imagine, for a second if the story was about #Cuba, #Venezuela, #NorthKorea or #Iran.
Would the media ignore it, as they are doing it here?

Hurricane Ian knocked out power across all of Cuba and devastated some of the country’s most important tobacco farms when it slammed into the island’s western tip as a major hurricane Tuesday.
Cuba’s Electric Union said in a statement that work was underway to gradually restore service to the country’s 11 million people during the night. Power was initially knocked out to about 1 million people in Cuba’s western provinces, but later the entire grid collapsed.
Ian hit a #Cuba that has been struggling with an economic crisis and has faced frequent power outages in recent months. It made landfall as a Category 3 storm on the island’s western end, devastating Pinar del Río province, where much of the tobacco used for Cuba’s iconic cigars is grown.

Remember the Panic in D.C. when the Soviets parked couple of Nukes on tiny #Cuba, Now imagine on whole of #Alaska when the #US must return after 156 years lease of Alaska expires on the March 10, #2023, Imagine the Russian Army on the American continent breathing down Trudeau's neck, this is gonna be entertaining...
LET'S CLARIFY THE SITUATION WITH ALASKA ONCE AND FOR ALL!
In #1867, Tsarist Russia decided to sell Alaska to the USA for 156 years against the sum of 7.2 million dollars (then it meant a huge amount) to equip and supply its army in the following expeditions against the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires. In exchange, the #USA offered to diplomatically help the Tsarist Empire for the annexation of the Baltic provinces (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) and West Prussia. In addition to the 7.2 million dollars, the US also gave the Tsarist Empire at that time over 3,300 Tomahawk guns with a range big action for those times. The transaction was made on March 10, 1867 and stipulates that it can be updated over 156 years under the conditions imposed by Russia. Well, now Russia seems to want it back and no longer wants to extend the sales contract- purchase with the USA for no amount.
Although, in 2018, it seems that Trump offered #Putin 74 billion dollars to extend the contract with Alaska for another 200 years, a proposal that Putin refused. The gesture was recognized official, the amount but not, the information about the amount remains "on the sources" PS-And one more thing, maybe you are wondering where and until where 156 years and not 200 or 100 round. Well, 156 was the favorite number of Tsar Alexandru the second, this being the hilarious reason for u this number of years stipulated in the contract.
2023-1867=156 years, this is exactly the duration of the sale vs. purchase contract concluded on March 10, 1867 between Russia and the USA for the sum of 7.2 million dollars. After March 10, 2023, legally speaking, the contract becomes null and void, and #Russia has the right of withdrawal .Alaska was discovered and explored for the first time in 1512 by the Russians who owned that territory officially between 1530-1867, i.e. 337 years.
