By Wikipedias count there are presently 51 on-going national emergencies in USA, 19 of them have been declared by Trump.

The oldest still active one was made by Carter in 1979, it’s a sanction on Iran.

Not having any form of national ID really does lead to some goofy shit when you need to positivly identify people.

Any US company that wants to could setup mining operations in greenland today, Denmark/Greenland would happily welcome the development.

The reason the USA wants to seize greenland is because it foresees a future where it is no longer allied with Europe, so in order to secure the resources and military access in the long term they are annexing it now since Europe is entirely incapable of stopping them at present, both politically and militarily.

People are gonna start falling out of windows in the US real soon.

Why have all these “x-point plan” been so horrifically poorly written?

14 A is a sentence fragment that has no meaning.

5 B, Does not restrict Ukraine from continuing the war to reclaim it’s territory since the occupied areas are not “Russian territory” and it simultaneously states that if Russia militarily opposes that recapture it would trigger the security guarantees and enter NATO into war with Russia.

18, “as soon as possible” is such a cliche contract trap, just write 6 months and there wont be any arguing.

It’s like a child wrote it, but this is being presented in a serious international forum. The original one from Russia and Europe’s modification thereof were also just absolute garbage.

Seems they did bring a poet.

The overwhelming majority of consumers will never install an OS on a system.

They will only ever use the OS that came pre-installed.

GoG does actually explicitly state that you own the games bought on the platform, though who knows how well that holds in a strictly legal sense.

Since it’s oil based it probably doesn’t wash off without using soap or at least hot water, wouldn’t be effective it it did anyway. It’s meant to be eaten along with the produce, given that the coating is very thin and made of only rapeseed oil and oat oil I doubt it will add any perceptible taste.

At first this map seemed perfectly fine to me, but the more I look the weirder it gets.

• The projection used (Mollweide?) distorts the hell out of Europe, Iceland is practically a smear.
• Thailand is gone.
• Crimea seems missing.
• Is Japan a bit shrunk?
• They must have screwed up mounting Africa because the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden are WAY too big

Supporting a harmful entity just because they are in a conflict with someone worse is not a responsible thing to do.

Why would you support either?

Worked pretty well for turkey, they shot down 2 russian fighter jets, resulting in the death of 1 pilot. Russia did not violate their airspace again.

Not necessarily no, the calls for a no fly zone are mostly asking for it over western Ukraine. Russian manned planes don’t fly that deep into Ukraine, much too dangerous, so a no fly zone over that area would only shoot down unmanned objects, drones and missiles.

The problem they’re faced with is a drug epidemic and the solution they come up with is mass murder.

Obviously very sane and rational.

Would you like to build a better future?

NO, there has to be a good guy who only does good things and a bad guy who only does bad things!

The deadline to meet the new 5%/3.5% spending target is 2035, the level of motivation to reach it quickly varies quite a bit from country to country.

The thretened tariffs arent on Russia, since as you point out there is little trade between USA and Russia it would be innefective in swaying the kremlin. These tariffs are instead being put on countries that trade with Russia like China, India, Brazil etc, with the hope that those countries will put pressure on Russia by proxy.
