How many shell companies between you and the government are necessary to make someone "not working for the Russian state"?

Europe to China. Look at a globe and not a map. Currently it mostly goes via Suez as Panama is such a long way out of the way. The Northwest passage was such a prized goal for 500 years because of trade with the far east.

Understandable. Everyone is sleepy this week.

The stockpile was built in the 50s, 60s and 70a though. The vast bulk of it is 50-70 years old. Post soviet Russia didn't have the money, and prior to that the stockpile was good.

Nah. In those photos, where there's one or two tanks left but all the others have gone... those are immovable tanks. Couldn't even get them to the service bay. Why else would that one tank have been left behind?

If you like more light in the evening, go to bed late and wake up late. If you like light in the morning, go to bed early and wake up early.

Other way around. If you want a lighter evening, your day has to slide earlier so when you sleep is closer to sunset.

Well no, because if you remove DST you'd go for the time zone where noon means the sun is straight up. That's the winter schedule, so you summer evenings get an hour shorter.

If we get rid of DST everybody needs to start work an hour earlier IMHO.

Crossing everything on those results. UN ambassadors seat too hopefully.

If it's left that long you won't have a democracy left.

First... I'm not reading all that, but are you aware that there are 2 congressional districts up for re-election this week to replace members who accepted cabinet positions (e.g. Mike Waltz). They were +20 red districts, both of them. Now they are competitive. Trump has also withdrawn his appointee for UN ambassador because of fears they would lose her seat (also a very secure Red win previously).

It's not November anymore, and there's been a torrent of things to change people's minds in the meantime.

Don't know if you've noticed, but he's not been president for a while. A third term would not be consecutive.
