There is also an obsession in that part of the world with Geopolitics. It's no coincidence that some of the most popular youtube geopolitics channels are from that region. I think it's more a remnant of soviet mentality and the fa

Mearsheimer is now part of Putin's propaganda. It really doesnt explain much unless someone is looking for easy cop-outs. The insanity of what we are living should not be explained away like that

This is what we need , more native functionality instead of insane levels of JavaScript. But we also need sane standards instead of more for no reason. How many CSS units are there now? 20? And things like css grid just don't look righ
