The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.

Except when the democratically elected leader of Ukraine wanted more time, a totally organic revolution not a western influenced coup, deposed the elected leader and formed a new government.
Novorussians should be denied the self determination NATO saw as essential for Kosovo because it aligns with Russian objectives, and it will make 20+ countries want to be like Russia and have nuclear weapons? Nuclear is only a consideration because the west is dumping billions in military aid. Perhaps if there was concern that Russian nuclear blackmail would result in nuclear proliferation, the west should have stayed out and Russia would have likely completed their annexation with conventional forces.

Yes the totally organic Maidan coup. Since then there's been no corruption and only democracy®.

In Ukraine, these include fears that the issue could potentially split the country in two, leading to violence or even, some claim, civil war, which would force Russia to decide whether to intervene. Additionally, the GOR and experts continue to claim that Ukrainian NATO membership would have a major impact on Russia's defense industry, Russian-Ukrainian family connections, and bilateral relations generally.

Reasonableness seems hard to come by presently.
It seems reasonable to me as intra-Ukraine conflict / civil war is anticipated with Russian intervention as a consequence of NATO expansion in 2008.
Another poster down thread makes a better analogy of Texas secession and alliance with China.

It's only a war of unprovoked aggression if you subscribe the current year narrative.
If you subscribe to the narrative that is current in ~2008 it looks more inevitable, given western politics, than unprovoked.

Any evidence for blasts? I would be more skeptical if it sounded like a controlled demolition.

I found the NIST report on the collapse convincing. Did you read the actual report or only 'internet' analysis?
I'm with you on The State Farm Arena and the crazy at universities. Some of the university crazy is the academic equivalent of fake email jobs. I'm kinda wishing for a long deep recession that culls those with a disconnection from the nature of reality.

Are the enough PMC black husbands to go around?
Any view if Omar's prior husband was her brother?

The Libya, / Syria instability and NATO expansion were the pet projects of Administrations that were 'popular' among current year European PMC.
It depends what is meant by financial speculators. There were a number of Jews on Twitter that seemed to think she was talking about them.
My take was corporations with access to capital markets that use cheap debt to 'disrupt' existing commerce chasing growth while searching for a path to profitability. The marketing and PR for these companies is typically on-board with the current thing.
I see them as both the corporations and their financiers.

Wikipedia does not seem to think so, perhaps this is just another instance of Asian Invisibility.

Wouldn't the question be if Aryan prison gangs are more or less intelligent than Black, Hispanic or Asian prison gangs?
How in your view is the 'sound public policy' category different from the horrific category? I see the former flowing from the latter.
The horrific can be multidimensional, not all horrific murder is horrific in the same way. It could be horrific due to a particular gruesome nature of the offense, it could be horrific due to the impact it has on the larger community, it could be horrific as it strikes at the foundations of our society. There are good public policy reasons for capital punishment for many horrific offenses.
Poisoning someone to death is more horrific than picking their pocket. Given the routes of administration often involve adulteration of food or medicine the distrust and suspicion it breeds can have a larger impact.
Being shot and killed from a passing car makes walking the streets unsafe in much the same way a bomb attack strikes terror. It has a more indiscriminate appearance.
Shooting me because you need to blood-in to your gang is more horrific to many than shooting the rake with your wife.

You might also be measuring membership in a group whose ancestors were less shaped by executions.

It can also be that membership in the underclass is the effect not the cause.

I joke with my wife that if Martin Luther could see the churches with his name today he'd have more theses.

That may conflate cause and effect. It could be the ancestors were sold into slavery because they were damaged. Arguably at the time they were economically less valuable than the trade goods for which many were exchanged.

Arguably companies could administer aptitude tests to make a similar determinations. This would likely be more expedient and lower cost. To the extent that some jurisdictions prohibit or discourage this promotes the credentialism we see.

The responsibility they're shirking is law and order. The people through their elected representatives choose to not address border security. Their fair share of the problem should be proportional to their lack of of cooperation on stemming the invasion.
