Adding a clock to a key, so the code is only valid for a few seconds + keyless entry respond only active if the key was moved in the last 30 seconds, would solve most of the problems. That's like $5 per key?

There isn't much more we can do. NATO could end Russia with more weapons and making a defence deal with Saudis in exchange for price dumping of oil and gas[1]. But no one wants a nuclear state to fail. Moscow must be terrified of anoth

Recently I've been thinking there should be a term limit for PMs/Chancellors Tatcher, Merkel, Putin - if they would have a 10 year limit, things would be much better.
