  1. A Turkish waiter expressed this to me eloquently: Turkey deals with both Ukraine and Russia, and wants to walk the middle line.

  2. I have two electric cars, but I am for people doing what they want. EVs are better cars, and in time people will figure this out. Until then, I think it is wrong for the governments to FORCE people to change. Name a food that your parents forced you to eat that you like.

  4. This is serious. Without nuclear weapons Europe could roll over Russia in days. Before this, the nuclear armed countries used weapons to be "unconquerable", but now we see a country using the threat of it to throttle its neighbors unimpeded. This would be the model for N. Korea and Iran if it works.

  6. Russia doesn't need ICBMs to hit Kiev. That is a threat to the EU/US. If the US wants to play Putin's little game we could replay some MIRV tests, or better yet start matching Russia one for one with mobile launcher deployments to Poland.

  7. Yea I noticed that. However, the Russians took Mariupol to enable that very supply route, and taking it back would effectively end that, since Russia would not be able to move on the roads there anymore. The bad news of course is that Mariupol is not going to be a city anytime soon no matter who holds it.

  8. Strikes or slowdowns are more effective They can shoot protesters, but they can't hold a gun on everyone to make them work.

  9. Q. Why is ITER located near CERN? A. All those particles CERN has taken apart are piling up. ITER will fuse them back together again.

  10. The video says it all. The Russian convoy crossing the border was greeted by a sign selling kitchen appliances, not Ukrainian troops. Guard it or loose it.

  11. Somewhat clean, somewhat safe, and somewhat unlimited. Yea.

  12. The underlying pretext is that Ukraine might retaliate for a Russian nuke this way. Ukraine does not have a Nuke, but it has plenty of radioactive material.
