Elon Musk and his alleged stash.
For pulling the pin and no longer exposing those of a rational mind to his weird, cringeworthy, dancing, jumping around, strangled whoop noises, Nazi salutes and generally looking like a spare prick at a whore's wedding total pillock? Yes, put me down as ETERNALLY thankful. -

Things you like about Thailand
And no Tiki Torch Nazi marchers as in Charlottesville No J6ers who end up skating after assaulting law enforcement. And...no Proud Boys or Oath Keeper seditionists. No nutjobs driving into peaceful protesters and killing them. And...no Trump University scamming 100's of students with fake promises. And....no toxic MAGA women like Michele Fiore that scam the public with fake charities and support gun nut jobs resisting law enforcement (Bundy rancher) -

Britain to unleash army of hackers on Putin
Although the US may have fanned the flames, the Maiden Revolution was not initiated by the US. The fire was lit by ordinary Ukrainian citizens taking to the streets to object to Yanukovych ignoring the platform on which he was elected i.e. to develop closer economic ties with the EU, and instead doing a complete volte face and - under pressure from Moscow - aligning Ukraine economically with Russia. This root cause of this war is economic, with a dose of Putin's belief in a Greater Russia comprising of Belarus and Ukraine thrown in for good measure. Pre-war Ukraine was Russia's third biggest trading partner (behind China and the EU). Russia had been pressurising Ukraine to join a customs union with it for some time. Instead, Ukraine looked West and sought closer ties with the EU, something that Putin was unable to accept as it would be a major blow to the Russian economy; hence, the escalation of hostilities towards Ukraine starting in 2014. The invasion in 2022 was the end result. You can introduce as many non sequiturs as you like. The truth of the matter is that Russia was the instigator of this war.
