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)...

Maybe YOU can easily get your daily fix from STARBUCKS, but WILD (BIG) CATS (like LEOPARDS) and WILD DOGS cannot easily get it from MARSHBUCKS. If those predators only see some nostrils above the water surface, then there's no SITATUNGA lying in that swamp pool, right? Wrong! I show you WWF MAXIMUM CARDS from BURUNDI, with SITATUNGA, or MARSHBUCK (Tragelaphus spekii)

I show you WWF MAXIMUM CARDS from BURUNDI, with SITATUNGA, or MARSHBUCK (Tragelaphus spekii)
"The sitatunga or marshbuck (Tragelaphus spekii) is a swamp-dwelling antelope found throughout Central Africa, centering on the Democratic Republic of the CongoCameroon and parts of Southern Sudan as well as in GhanaBotswanaZambiaGabonTanzaniaUganda and Kenya."

"Sitatunga live in papyrus swamps and are very good swimmers. 
They may take to the water to evade predators such as leopards or wild dogs, lying submerged in pools with only their nostrils above the surface. 
They have been known to sleep underwater. "

BBC - Science & Nature - Wildfacts - Ringed seal. LORD OF THE RINGed sealS? I show you a MAXIMIKORT / MAXIMUM CARD / MAXIMUMKARTE / DORINCARD / MAXICARD from SWEDEN with The RINGED SEAL (Pusa hispida)

BBC - Science & Nature - Wildfacts - Ringed seal
 I show you a MAXIMIKORT / MAXIMUM CARD / MAXIMUMKARTE / DORINCARD / MAXICARD from SWEDEN with The RINGED SEAL (Pusa hispida)



"The ringed seal (Pusa hispida), also known as the jar seal and as netsik or nattiq by the Inuit, is an earless seal (family: Phocidae) inhabiting the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions. The ringed seal is a relatively small seal, rarely greater than 1.5 m in length, with a distinctive patterning of dark spots surrounded by light grey rings, whence its common name. It is the most abundant and wide-ranging ice seal in the northern hemisphere: ranging throughout the Arctic Ocean, into the Bering Sea and Okhotsk Sea as far south as the northern coast of Japanin the Pacific, and throughout the North Atlantic coasts of Greenland and Scandinavia as far south as Newfoundland, and include two freshwater subspecies in northern Europe. Ringed seals are one of the primary prey of polar bears and have long been a component of the diet of indigenous people of the Arctic."

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Comments:
    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
