    Of course they do. To China, Russia is a cheap mafia-owned gas station. It can no longer provide any real business opportunities thanks to sanctions; see how the Russian part of Be…

    I don’t mean favoritism towards specific companies; I mean suppressing opinions that are inconvenient to companies. For example, blatant anti-Chinese xenophobia or hate speech towa…

    So what makes you assume it was “homeless and junkies” who mugged them, and not some Christian republican human trash? (“Human trash” as a counterpoint to your “junkie” slur; also …

    >The Russians themselves. Ah. Now I suspect I know what you're talking about: the terror campaign. Essentially what Russia did in Syria - they don't stand a chance against a proper…

    Realistically, how much can you make at Amazon pretending to work before they figure out and fire you? Because, honestly, once you realize it’s ethical to do so, Amazon being a bad…

    I’m not sure about the “plenty of equipment”. Case in point - over the past six months there have been _ten_ Russian plane crashes caused by malfunctions. Even though they almost d…

    Yukon is a territory. Here, the "territory" is just a pretty name for a colony. You can't vote, US constitution doesn't quite apply, you're getting peanuts from federal aid, and wh…

    Puertoricans are American citizens by name only - they can’t vote, for example. It’s a colony, and US treats it as such - it doesn’t enjoy the privileges of actual US territory. If…
