@FelixBat The sanctions are not done through the UN, they are unilaterally handled by the member states, so Russia has no "veto power." I actually do support removing Russia from the security council though, on the grounds that they were never admitted in the first place (only the Soviet Union was, and Russia's been allowed to stay out of courtesy).

@johnkabengele4628 This was in no way caused by NATO's desire to expand eastward. There is nothing wrong with NATO expanding eastward. This was entirely caused by Russia invading Ukraine. If Russia had not invaded Ukraine, then none of this would be happening. Russia is the only one making military force against a neighbor here. NATO has not made any military force against Russia, ever.

Wow, you really start shilling for Republicans at the end there, how could anyone view Texas or Florida as positive role models in 2022? The nicer parts of Baltimore are actually quite nice and safe, you can go to the night spots and stuff with no worries. It's just the bad parts that are a mess, but you pointed out the problem, fixing it costs money, and you need money to spend money, so there really is no solution there outside of some sort of massive external investment of cash, directed carefully. Baltimore is just one of those cities that once had a useful purpose to it, but that useful purpose dried up, and now there is no practical reason to be there, so there is nothing for the remaining people to do. This has happened to towns all over the country, it's just that Baltimore is an especially big one, so it experiences the problems of hundreds of small towns at once.
