Ukraine should lead formation of a world alliance against dictatorship. It would exclude countries without independent judiciaries or suppressing the press or academia. It would develop and deploy satellites, communications, and military to eclipse hegemonic countries like Russia, China and the US.

In the US, Trader Joe's sells 3 normal size (1.75 oz) chocolate bars for $1.29 (97 pence).

Even so, I would still gladly move to the UK, where the crown seems to be wising up to clear and present dangers instead of actively destroying the country. Perhaps Lake Country?

It is fun. I am a mechanical engineer, biker, and builder of hand-made vehicles. Many odd things can work, and some normal-seeming ones cannot - example, rear-wheel steering on bike.

It's easy to call something bullshit, and now it's also easy to find facts. Russia has spent about 12% of its total manpower (military AND CIVILIAN) to gain about 12% of Ukraine. That is mostly open land, not cities. Putin will fail long before he sends the last idiot into the meat grinder.

Ukraine is playing rope-a-dope. Russia's trivial advances come at costs they cannot sustain. Russia is losing irreplaceable airplanes and defense radar in Crimea. Russia loses production and economic output faster than those can be replaced. OTOH, Ukraine production capacity is increasing.

Cool! Thanks for the research. I wonder if it was the same prop genius that worked on Rust.

Putin is bad at math. Sure, not as bad as dumb-ass Trump, but current Russian tactics will kill all their people long before Ukraine is depopulated.
