Security Weekly. The Geopolitics of the United States, part I - STRATFOR. Also, for ABC Wednesday meme (today is letter H), I show you a MAXIMUM CARD / MAXICARD / DORINCARD from USA, with The ARCTIC HARE (Lepus arcticus)

Please read this interesting article: Security Weekly
The Geopolitics of the United States - STRATFOR.

For ABC Wednesday meme (today is letter H), I show you a MAXIMUM CARD / MAXICARD / DORINCARD from USA, with The ARCTIC HARE (Lepus arcticus)

"The arctic hare (Lepus arcticus), or polar rabbit is a hare which is adapted largely to polar and mountainous habitats. It was once considered[citation needed] a subspecies of the mountain hare, but it is now regarded as a separate species. The arctic hare survives with a thick coat of fur and usually digs holes under the ground or snow to keep warm and sleep. Arctic hares look like rabbits but have longer ears and can stand up taller, they can live/maintain themselves in cold places unlike rabbits. They can travel together with many other hares, sometimes huddling with dozens or more, but are usually found alone, taking in some cases more than one partner. 
The arctic hare can run up to 40 miles (64 km) per hour.[3] 
Its top predator is the arctic wolf."

No, HARE KRISHNA is NOT a species of hare from India.

Ask yourself WHAT would this cute Arctic Hare do, if he encounters an Arctic corpse (no, not Afrika Korps)...

    It is a beautiful creature and well adapted for its environment. Interesting to learn that it will eat meat - but then, rabbits will eat their own young if distressed, so perhaps it's not so surprising.
