With Skype Closing Down, What's the Best Alternative?
All my calls are to the US. I don't make many calls but I do need to occasionally call my broker (Schwab) and family. I've been using Skype with never a problem. Now, with Skype being shut down I need an alternative. Doing a small amount of research, it seems Sonetel at under $2/month might be the best alternative. You can get a US phone number that will forward incoming calls and even voicemail where they use AI to send a message. Has anyone found a better alternative? -

Why Zelensky Won’t Bargain Away Crimea — No Matter the Pressure
How do you know he won't? Once a war gets started in earnest, there's no telling what will happen. And surely, you must understand why Russia needs a buffer zone. Part of its strategic defense system lies within easy striking distance of any missiles placed in Eastern Ukraine. Hence the sensitivity over NATO, especially after the cancellation of the intermediate range missile nuclear forces (INF) treaty by Trump during his first term. He got some bad advice on that, obviously, but it's all now history. Ukraine is in Russia's back yard and within the Russian sphere of influence. No different than if Russia or China would amass missiles and armies in Tijuana or Juarez, Mexico. The USA wouldn't put up with that for more than a few minutes. It wouldn't even be allowed to happen. So, telling me to "grow some" is telling me that I shouldn't care about the future of humanity. I do, and Im sure about 8 billion other people would agree with me. Crimea is now part of Russia, once again. And parts of the Donbas are now also part of Russia. Territorial nation states have been at war just about forever. That's the way territories are gained and lost. That's the way existing countries have been formed. That's reality. International law is all well and good, but in the final analysis, it doesn't much matter.
