I think in the next five years the internet will change drastically. Walled gardens, invite only, and companies that verify you're a human (I.E. use government identification). There is now no way to tell if somebody online in a human

Why can't we train our own citizens to become construction workers? If you claim that people "don't want to work" for those wages, then isn't immigration keeping our wages down? Wouldn't business owners pay mor

Russia fires conventional warheads into Kiev all the time. Thousands of civilians have been killed and injured. The city survives. Buildings in Kiev aren't made out of wood. Firebombs would do very little damage.

Air power relies on fuel and maintenance and runways. It's not necessary to contest the skies if the adversary can destroy the "tail" that supplies the aircraft. Stationary bases can easily be targeted globally. The United St

Moscow could only accomplish this with nukes, and only early in the war. By this point Ukraine has dug underground for most of its crucial war-sustaining industry. Ukraine, well they don't have nukes but as I understand it, much of the
