Notice dashed lines on the map. Those are boundaries of regions. Putin claimed "independence" of the whole area of 2 regions. It's MUCH larger than currently controlled red area. It's all the way up to north and also a s

> After WWII Ukraine made a verbal agreement not to join NATO/EU. You have no idea what you're talking about. Just stop it, please. Also, look at the map and try to guess where the border between Poland and Russia is located.

The rise of monopolies is absolutely unrelated to how web operates. Crypto world already has monopolies with unmatched power. And you have even less privacy there, because transactions are public.

Why would they want to reclaim Donbass and Crimea right now? They can easily wait until Russia collapses under the rule of a madman.

USD banknote is a proof that USA as a country owes you a particular amount of good. USDT is a proof that some shady unregulated organization owes you an equivalent amount of good. "Backed by USD" is just a claim (99% lie, in reali

Meanwhile, they take 30% cut from developers and force everyone to buy a new phone every year. Microsoft monopolization of Windows is a child play in comparison to this phone racket.

You're implying that other people have lost the equivalent amount of money. But the net effect is not zero. The society is losing badly if everyone is just playing in a casino.
