Ukraine started seeking NATO membership when Russia invaded Georgia in 2008. NATO members refused, following this flawed logic "that it would provoke Russia". In 2014, when Russia first invaded Ukraine, Ukraine was still a neutral

Not at all. The US has tried to minimize its involvement in this war before it even started. In the run-up to the full-scale invasion, Biden spent more time saying what he would not do than what he would do. Think that, to this date, the US

The curriculum is larger than what can be taught in a couple of years. Literature professors get to pick the texts that will be studied in class. Therefore, chance plays a role in whether a given student will study Rimbaud or Baudelaire. In

I heard that saying too, “if a stranger tries to make you do something illegal, it's a cop” or something close to that. Isn't it the principle of a sting operation?
