  1. If Russia moves air defenses near the oil refining facilities, that's still a win for Ukraine because it will make the battlefield a nicer place for the F-16 when it shows up. It's a dilemma. Either solution is bad. Refineries burn or F-16, Ukranian aviation, has an easier time attacking Russian military targets near the front line.

  2. You need to realize that because of the electoral college, not voting for Trump or Biden, if you live in a purple "battleground" state (a state that isn't solidly either Blue or Red), you ARE voting for Trump if you don't vote for Biden. Because ALL that state's electors will vote for ONE candidate. Arguably, because Trump is such a horrible person and even 40% of REPUBLICANS didn't vote for him in the recent primaries, it could be said that not voting for either Biden or Trump in ANY state is a vote for Trump. Anything that makes it easier for Trump to win a state's electoral college votes works for Trump. Remember, YOUR individual vote isn't for president. YOUR vote in the general presidential election is for choosing who the state's electoral college will vote for. In most states, it's winner take all. If 50.01% of individual voters, like YOU, vote Trump, Trump wins ALL of the electoral votes of your state. Then, the electoral college actually votes for who becomes president. This is why 3rd party candidates are horrible for our 2 party system (no 3rd party candidate will ever get any electoral college votes) and why not voting when you don't like either candidate is essentially a vote for the person you like the least. Your state electors are going to vote for the same candidate and if it's the one you like the least, by not voting against that person, you are helping give ALL your state's votes to that candidate. Trump is so horrible and did so poorly in the republican primary that some formerly Red states might actually be battleground states this time around. Of course, Biden being a 1,000 year old white male might hurt the turnout of younger or first time voters, women, or SJW types. Although, since Trump is very bad for those groups, it's probably more important than ever that they actually go vote.

  3. I'm shocked that Putin will see Kim Jong Un win with 100%, Stalin win 3 times with over 99% and Putin only lets himself manage 87%. That just shows how much less Russians support Putin than Soviets supported Stalin, even if the numbers were real!
