WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday let North Carolina and Pennsylvania use electoral maps approved by state courts to replace ones deemed to have given Republicans unfair advantages, improving Democratic chances of retaining control of the U.S. House of Representatives in November.Legitimate shock

“The Kremlin spent the last 20 years trying to modernize its military,” said Andrei V. Kozyrev, the foreign minister for Russia under Boris Yeltsin, in a post on Twitter. “Much of that budget was stolen and spent on mega-yachts in Cyprus. But as a military advisor you cannot report that to the President. So they reported lies to him instead. Potemkin military.”lol if true

how the turntables innit
By reilo Go To Post.I'm all for this, if we don't cut off Russia now it'll just be more expensive in the future. This is the price we have to pay to stop Putin.
Putin alone is making the whole world rethink its current energy system and sources. Saving the planet from global warming, indirectly innit
maybe we could audit and demand our elected officials to drop their Russian investments first but sure why not
By DY_nasty Go To Postmaybe we could audit and demand our elected officials to drop their Russian investments first but sure why not
Honest question, because I thought Putin blocked foreign investments from being sold (was that just the market?) ….
Can that happen?
By DY_nasty Go To Postmaybe we could audit and demand our elected officials to drop their Russian investments first but sure why notWe don't need an audit anymore, they can keep their investnments as Russia is about to default on their debts. They would basically be holding junk.
lol if you don't think those elected officials didn't exit out of their holdings two weeks before the invasion because they a) get the same intelligence reports as top brass and b) knew sections were incoming
By reilo Go To Postlol if you don't think those elected officials didn't exit out of their holdings two weeks before the invasion because they a) get the same intelligence reports as top brass and b) knew sections were incoming
Probably true.
By reilo Go To Postlol if you don't think those elected officials didn't exit out of their holdings two weeks before the invasion because they a) get the same intelligence reports as top brass and b) knew sections were incomingWhy let a good crisis go to waste?
Can what happen? Can the US audit and investigate their own officials for facilitating shenanigans? Yeah lol
Congress has protected themselves well but the bones of McCarthyism haven't gone anywhere.
Don't get me wrong, hopping off the Russian oil titty is cool - but skipping over the part where loyalty is ascertained amid international conflict with a long time adversary seems like more eco friendly straws to create a greener planet.

It's not a one time opportunity and because everything is so entangled internationally. Also it's difficult say everyone's priorities are towards national policies before all else.

My post was more of a counter-point to the "their Russian assets are now worth junk" thinking -- congress people know how to play this game to benefit themselves. Oligarchs don't just exist in Russia!
