why say "It's a boy" when you could say "I am become death, the destroyer of worlds"?

>trap of explaining myself to them like they're reasonable adults
This was a lesson I've learned since coming to fedi.
I was raised to test new facts against things you know to be true, and you discover that, the new thing is true, the new thing is false, or the old thing is false, and update your beliefs accordingly.
I think they were trained differently as children/young adults. Their truths were given in a different manner, from an authority figure. Instead of a worldview built with cohesive interconnected truths and ideas, they have independent truths and ideas with few connections.
The result is, I fell into the trap have trying to show people how their facts and ideas could not logically coexist, but the inconsistencies meant nothing to them, so we would both just get frustrated.
The result? Correcting them is very hard. But, it is possible for them to learn something new, or expand existing knowledge, without things devolving into conflict and frustration.

Lichenstein, a comparable state, is not part of the EU or its ruling apparatus and has a vaccination rate of 68%
why does Luxembourg, a seat of the EU government and one of the highest grossing GDP countries per capita worldwide, have a vaccination rate of 5.9%

Absolutely. Keep your eyes open and aware of your surroundings. This could pop very quickly. Don’t be in a stupid place with stupid people doing stupid things when it happens. Have a plan to gtfo and to home base or bug out location quick.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksey_Krylov
In 1917 he became CEO of the Russian society for shipbuilding and trade (the ROPiT, Русское общество пароходостроительства и торговли). After the October Revolution he peacefully transferred the ROPiT merchant fleet to the Soviet government and continued to work for the Russian Navy. In 1921 he was sent to London to re-establish scientific contacts, working there as a representative of the Soviet government. In 1927 he returned to the Soviet Union.
Krylov wrote about 300 papers and books. They span a wide range of topics, including shipbuilding, magnetism, artillery, mathematics, astronomy, and geodesy. His floodability tables have been used worldwide. Of note are his works in hydrodynamics including theory of ships moving in shallow water (he was the first to explain and calculate the significant increase of hydrodynamic resistance in shallow water) and the theory of solitons. In 1904 he built the first machine in Russia for integrating Ordinary differential equations.[1]
Krylov in the 1930s
In 1931 he published a paper on what is now called the Krylov subspace and Krylov subspace methods.[2] The paper deals with eigenvalue problems, namely, with computation of the characteristic polynomial coefficients of a given matrix. Krylov was concerned with efficient computations and, as a computational scientist, he counts the work as a number of separate numerical multiplications, something not very typical for a 1931 mathematical paper. Krylov begins with a careful comparison of the existing methods that include the worst-case-scenario estimate of the computational work in the Jacobi method. Later, he presents his own method which is superior to the known methods of that time and is still widely used.
Krylov also published the first Russian translation of Isaac Newton's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1915).
the urge for conquest is a purely Russian phenomenon and Europeans want nothing to do with it

@skells Oof, I was loving this until the conclusion in the 13th tweet quoted -- and my complaint is really small. He seems to dance around the subject of what bodies and agencies actually perform the actions which is just soft at this point in the argument, but actually answering the question brings up questions I don't know can be answered:
* If the CIA saw the need, saw the weakness, and the director at the Russia Desk approved a black-op, then technically no one authorized such an attack.
* If Davos has sympathetic operatives in any part of the US Intelligence Community then there are far bigger problems than a pipeline to be concerned about, because Davos' plan isn't to hang the US out to dry -- it's to take the US down with them at the slightest hint of anything less than totalitarian success.
But past that point we come to agreement again. Past that point, it's an act of war; not necessarily by the US but a cheque which can only be signed by the US as it were. "The mouth writing cheques that the ass can't cash."
There's a lot in here worth reading though for everyone; it ties a lot of the geopol together quite nicely for those seeing it as a two-player game. Even I've made that mistake at times.
