Can we stop using Manhattan as shorthand for a giant city center? NYC is a cultural world capital, as well as economic hub. Good luck trying to actually build another one of those. There's a reason why there's only 3-4 in the worl

What's the difference between a vulnerability shared with China's intelligence agencies and a bug? Deniability I guess. I guess US intel yelling at the top of their lungs this has and will happen isn't enough for some.

you're right, the Soviets lost their empire made by the barrel of a gun and still are trying to chip off pieces of land from their neighbors. When America invades with the intent to steal a country, let me know.

The specifics of the plot aren't realistic, Russia invading a neighbor with the idea of stealing land and resources while brutally oppressing its people has great precedent.

The idea of Russia invading its neighbor isn't russophobic, its recent European history.

So maybe line up all the US and Soviet Cold War invasions / occupations and see who comes out on top.

No person would be able to handle a knife opening up their abdomen either, lucky that there are few cases where this would actually happen.

It's not that failure is eliminated, but you can run a business with almost no risk or capital exposure. If that business fails, you walk away with no damage done.
