I fully expect Putin to, sooner or later, violate any agreement. If the Ukrainians happen to be ready to exploit such a situation courtesy US/EU rearmament I would not be sad.
I also see no reason they can't join NATO, anyway, or take back the rest of their territory if they see fit, after whatever they sign with Putin.
There is no reason to assume Putin will honor a deal, so fuck that piece of shit. Sign whatever to get RU out of Ukraine ASAP, run in and clean up the occupiers in Crimea and Donbass, let NATO move in.
Time to get the F out of there.. OMG
unfortunately the nlaw was fired too close and misfired
It takes time and effort to gain any reasonable understanding of even the basic functional elements of the economy. It's way easier to just doomscroll imgur. At least at one point in history, we had one hour network news programs that made a reasonable effort to give people some understanding of events. Now we either have the farce that is the 30min network news today or endless blabbering on cable news networks and talk radio. Well, all that, and nobody reads papers, even online versions, anymore.
There is still PBS Newshour, Frontline...and 60 Minutes is still pretty good, but I rarely watch it. But man...there isn't much after that as far as TV real-world information goes.
Print journalism still exists! But few really digest that online, I think? Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I get the feeling most people read aggregators...which doesn't mean they are all bad, it's just they are still aggregators, so more filters applied in certain ways.
I think people digest primary sources less and less these days, which is the underlying issue. And often, primary sources doesn't mean first reported. In fact, that's rarely true, because that isn't journalism. Primary source = the historical record. The story that establishes the known history of an event, takes time and as every human that has ever lived knows, nothing you have experienced in life, when it comes to complex life or news events, has ever been "known" within the first hours or even days, sometimes weeks.
So, the long-form journalism that always requires weeks and years of investigation to uncover and properly document a real event, are being less-read or even, really, less-produced.
Now that I think about it, Vice media does do good work in this. But again, so much buried behind subscription services. Primary information sources need to be free, untrained to profit: e.g., Frontline, but more widely known and commonly digested.
DW posts a lot of documentaries on YouTube. They are very well done.BBC, DWNews[Deutsche Welle], and France 24 English seem decent. Especially for more Science/Expert based reporting, aka, not many Pundits.
Well of course not. Why would a Russian plant want to pull money out of Russia?

Biden's low favorables are almost entirely due to republican approval being near zilch. Shocking - I know. That, and well, 'it's the economy stupid'. It never seems to matter who caused the economic problems, or why. It only matters who's in office when the problems hit.
Most Americans don't like Biden's Ukraine response and worry about inflation
A new NPR/Ipsos poll finds that most Americans give President Biden low marks for his handling of the war in Ukraine, and concerns about inflation are overshadowing positive news about the economy.www.npr.org

ACA made my life better.Probably something to do with the fact that in 2001 we saw thousands of Americans die on live TV, and nothing has gotten better since then. Only worse.
The polls were right in both 2018 and 2020 and their miss in 2016 was within a normal expected polling error. People just noticed in 2016 because the outcome changed.Why do we believe this? In the election cycles since 2016, the polling has been wrong. Why would it be right now? If polling cannot be reliable, why are we wringing our hands in anticipation of the events these poll number could provide. Don’t understand that at all.

Florida has some redeeming qualities, just need to give away half their population. Also they are more 50/50 fucked up. The other three are like 80%.And Florida
