Yes.
That (ridiculous and unflattering) call is certainly evidence of US trying to influence outcomes, but not what I’d call a “US sponsored coup”. I’ve seen that language around a lot, and means something very different to me. Maybe I’m splitting hairs.
The bottom line is that none of this...
From this article in 2018
I cannot say I love that US taxpayer dollars may have ended up in these guys' hands. Given the war, however, one could make the case that it was not 100% bad either.
Regardless, those who report that we are funding Nazis in Ukraine are severely misstating the facts.
That is generally my understanding of how such things work as well. (The US has certainly done it in the past starting with the Italian election during the Truman years.)
Is there evidence that has happened here? I have not seen any. (Admittedly I have burned out a few times read up about it...
Yup. I am aware of their existence. You are absolutely correct that claims of neo-Nazism stick because it. The best bullshit always has elements of truth to it.
That they appear to be the only unit of its kind suggests to me that it's not something to be overly concerned out, and certainly not...
This promise has been discussed a lot, like a whole lot, in diplomatic and foreign affairs circles, not just the US mainstream press so if you dig around you can find a lot of super detailed accounts from people who where in the room, and the scores of folks who've analyzed it. I do not claim...
The bill has been referred to the House Natural Resources Committee. If your rep is on it, you can give them a call too.
Edit per Randy's comment below, the reps from Colorado on the committee are Diana DeGette, Joe Neguse, Lauren Boebert, and Doug Lamborn.
Watching this convoy crawl towards Kyiv is the height of frustration. The whole damn world knows where they are!

Nice to see bipartisan sponsorship.
I’m curious to hear how this came about, if anyone knows the backstory.
Here’s a link directly to the bill: https://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb22-1168
These are all good points.
I’ve had a similar experience with doing exercise before lunch. (During the summer I’ll force myself to get out earlier if it’s going to be super hot)
I’ve also found that getting showered and dressed for work helps switch my brain into work mode, rather than just...
To echo what BirdManMike and A207X2 said:
- breaks are critical, no matter where you work
- separate work and personal time
I've been a freelance software developer for about 16 years, and have been working remotely from home for just about all that time. In the beginning, I did not keep clear...
Safari is the new IE, man.
Your diagnosis about the sprite offset seems correct, but alas, I could not reproduce in Safari 15.3. (Pretty sure that's the latest.)
It seems unlikely, but sometimes browser extensions/plugins affect pages in weird ways. If you have any installed, perhaps try...
I’m worried too. My fear of an isolated Russia is a more erratic and aggressive Putin. I certainly expect to see lots of cyber attacks against Western nations in the coming years, and, even more brutal treatment of dissent, internally.
When you say “USSR”, though, I think expansionist global...
Why? It’s not like if someone did assassinate him that, in the absence of any additional evidence, people would jump to the conclusion that the US was behind it?
No one is that credulous!
And this thread had been doing so well. *sigh*
Anyway, I don’t recall if a list of aid organizations has been posted here yet, so here’s one I saw recently.
