He's paying homage to Chinggis Khan for sacking Kyiv and moving the centre of power to Moscow.

The CSA precedes the Nazis. In fact, Nazi race laws were partially based on slavery laws from the southern US.

If you're on a mountain road so narrow that two cycles and a car can't go in parallel with enough space in between, then maybe wait till the road gets wider and flatter before you overtake them?

For one, a third party can gain a foothold much more easily. In the UK, for example, small parties to the left of Labour can win and hold seats in Parliament.

NATO losing to Russia in Ukraine, and to the Houthis in the Gulf of Aden, will send a message to a lot of neutral countries that (1) NATO can't / won't protect you anymore, and (2) you can push back against NATO and win or at least gain concessions. NATO will still be the single largest military bloc in the world, but they'll actually have to negotiate, maybe even compromise.

cycling side by side makes overtaking impossible on mountain roads

I fail to see the problem.

However, drinking water is not the most stringent guideline for water uses. Humans are actually fairly tolerant of junk in drinking water compared to other forms of life. Amphibians for example are much more sensitive to contaminants in water than humans. As home to amphibians and other sensitive organisms, discharge to wetlands can require better quality water than standard drinking water quality.

Not to mention, water that is perfectly fine chemically and biologically can still kill fish and amphibians if it is too warm. Many aquatic animals have very narrow thermal tolerances.

i’m also not sure that the rise of hypersonic missiles means the end of all naval operations. the PLA navy don’t seem to think so. they’re building up a big green water/ coastal defense fleet. in a somewhat similar vein, iran just launched its first aircraft carrier, a design based on a container ship mostly designed for drone launching.

Not disagreeing with your overall analysis, but warships take years to build. The construction of these carriers probably started long before the war.

Is the guy on the left holding his staff correctly? It feels like he is holding it by the end, which would make it easy for her to knock it off.

What can the harvester hope for, if not the approval of The Reaper Man?
