Probably not. Russia's motives dont stem from a communications failure. They stem from predatory imperialist intent, and they arnt scared of the EU or Canada.

Only legally. If he was angling for a pardon the story would be he was a heroic innocent alpha male wrongly convicted by a woke liberal California court trying to silence him because of democrat feminism Obama.

Really the most surprising thing about this whole debacle has been just how little support China has been able to rally, at least in public. I dont think they realized just how much ill will the wolf-warrior strategy had earned them over the past few decades.

In two generations well probably be banging rocks together in a irradiated hellscape and Ill hopefully be long dead.

Creating an enduring positive legacy takes effort, and neither Jobs or Bezos really made an attempt. Guys like Musk and Gates are making that effort and are likely to be remembered, although I think its pretty unlikely Musk will ever be able to restore a positive connotation to his name.

You know their name. Just about everyone reading your comment knows their names as well. Further, when most people hear their names the first thing that pops into their head is something positive and prestigious, not the awful things they did to make their fortunes. Many of their descendants are still wealthy and powerful to this day. It doesn't really make much difference if people spend time looking at their portraits.

I think it was really more that all the other species naturally tend to hate vulcans and like humans. The vulcans desperately needed a popular friend.

If theres one thing I know about aliens, its that the whole ship needs to burn in orbit. Its the only way to be sure.

Dont buy a project car if you dont want a project. Some people like that shit, but its not for everyone.

Dont use freaking Arch if your goal is to get everything to work out of the box?

You know who should be doing that? The Democrats in the House and Senate. If they cant even do that a bunch of geriatric retired politicians writing a letter to the editor its going to galvanize anything.
