It will be hard to negotiate without Europe in the room, when Ukraine knows that they can count on increasing support from Europe no matter how the negotiations go. The confusion around how much support Europe will give makes it impossible for the negotiations to reach any reasonable conclusion.

One big reason why Ukraine can make terroritorial demands as part of its peace plan is because Europe has a huge interest in making sure Russia doesn't keep any terroritory through conquest. It sets a precident for Europe that Europe is willing to go to war over to disprove.

Zelensky's Peace Plan was actually really well thought out and affordable, Europeans and Americans were just too scared of "escalation" to give Ukraine the weapons they were requesting, and allow them into NATO.

The west has betrayed Ukraine.

Russia is not that strong

Not constructive.

This makes no sense.

When did European leaders ever say that the US should put boots on the ground in Ukraine?

I can see a lot of overlap between Jane Jacobs' support of variety and community engagement, and permaculture. Urban farming is also a great community building resource.

it's all taeh!

Yes but it could be argued that that militarism is a form of imperialism.

Not sure if a puppet is meaningfully less imperialist than a protectorate.

Military operations against Isis isn't imperialism, and it is a long shot away from other presodents' foreign policies.

The US's foreign policy under Obama and Clinton was anti-imperalist.

nah it's the lack of corn syrup

NTsync is not the same as Fsync, it allows for kernel acceleration of NT sync primitives, increasing speed over current wine/Proton builds.

American imperialism mostly halted under Clinton and Obama. The cold war was over and they weren't jingoistic like Bush or Trump.

They only started killing them in the 40s because they ran out of room. It's the logical, horrific conclusion to permanent detention of millions of people.

Raw, imma give it to ya, with no trivia

From the text:

Meanwhile, the U.S. and allies struggle to counter China’s influence.

What allies? There are some regional actors in Asia opposed to the PRC's imperialism, but the list of potential allies has gone down by a lot with Trump's actions.

What allies? Not sure what motivation Europeans have to defend Taiwan when we're already dying in a war against Russia with no help from the US.

Taiwan is a sovereign, democratic nation, but the PRC is more of an ally to the EU than Trump's America right now.

Retire the penny, nickel, and dime, and only allow transactions in multiples of $0.25?

All mail is typically encrypted in transit with smtps, and Proton mail is encrypted at rest. But that's true, it's not e2ee, so I guess they could just scrape it all as it comes in, if they're not doing so already.

Both companies are based in Europe though so I figure US spying laws don't apply?

mailbox.org isn't encrypted like Proton mail is. (Of course, Proton could steal your decryption password, but still)
