We are running out of time to prosecute the wrecker for trying to overthrow the US government and seize power.

Sami defending their use of land for reindeer herding are in conflict with plans to make steel with less carbon emissions.

Sustainable steel is crucial for all of society; reindeer herding is a niche activity. If the two inescapably conflict, in principle we should approve the mine and the wind farms.

But not necessarily the specific plans that have been proposed. Wind farms can go in various places. Other places might cost more, but that might be a good compromise. If compromise increases the cost of mining, the Sami's interest can justify that.

We can't trust companies, and especially not mining companies. Before approving any specific plans, we should study them in minute detail looking for deceptions, and for promises they might wiggle out of — or that might be impossible to carry out.

I also wonder whether the existing mines could be used for the new, less-polluting steel plant. Perhaps the company hopes that increased output will cover the cost of building the new plant. If so, perhaps the state should pay for it as a replacement, and own it.

Guardian journalists have found physical evidence that the Putin forces used cluster bombs on civilian area in towns north of Kiev.

The evidence includes, among other things, fragments found in corpses.

This article makes much of the fact that most countries in the world have signed the treaty to ban cluster bombs. However, the major powers have not signed it, and I don't think "that's forbidden" is a valid moral argument in regard to the countries that have not signed.

Rather, the valid moral argument to condemn the use of cluster bombs is the practical consequence of using them: the unexploded submunitions keep killing civilians (especially children) for decades after the war.

It is also true that using these or other powerful munitions in civilian areas is a war crime.
