Massive is right. And Russia has still never recovered the population losses from WWI (at least 1.7 million), WWII (27,000,000), Stalin's purges, believed to be 20-30,000,000) the living exodus from Soviet break up, or the 4,585,000 covid deaths, and now has less than half this place's population, which limits is status as any kind of global power.

Russia ought to be begging for emigration, right now. But, they are a pariah.

A good agreement in principle. Now to see if this agreement can survive its infancy—as Kyoto and Paris did not—and actually see through some significant changes in our global energy policies.

I'm always skeptical about these junkets, especially considering they tend to be held in places like Cairo, Dubai and - next - Baku. Not a good look.

To be fair about it, the US has brought a lot of power lines to people, not just native Americans. Glad to see its Standing Rock.

Time is counting down to when the Houthis are going to be punched in the face. Don't be surprised.

We had allies fight with us in Afghanistan and Iraq. UN votes have been like that for a long time. They are allied with the US, not Israel..
