To the risk-takers go the spoils. So, I’m taking the risk here, right? Spoil me, Sam, spoil my Venmo hard.

How solid are “rights” for Russian speakers in Russia?

In many US states if you get caught poaching game, the equipment you used is often subject to confiscation - that includes the boat, 4x4 truck, etc. If you are walking down the street with a suitcase full of cash - police can simply confiscate it with no evidence of an actual crime. If you are not going to jail anybody at least get yourself 62 generators for free. Am I overthinking this?

In regard to the western breach of Minsk 1/2, please cite the “openly admitted by top European officials” source. Also, please explain the Minsk 1/2 agreements so that we can understand how the West and Ukraine “broke” them. And did Russia give up their nuclear weapons in exchange for security guarantees? Istanbul agreement? - once bitten, twice shy.

I am in the long process of DeGoogling. When I saw this post I set my VPN location to Canada.
