Goes to show that "poverty" is nothing to do with lack of money.
Poverty is a deep, complicated, multi-faceted thing, which includes, but isn't limited to having a pig shit-ignorant attitude to learning and innovating, moral turpitude, culturally ingrained ignorance, lack of hygiene, disgusting attitudes to women and foreign cultures; and generally being Third World degenerates.
As usual for the Middle East and Africa, they'll completely fuck up their own societies, blame Whitey for their problems, and then show up cap-in-hand at our borders, demanding their "rights" (namely, free money and housing).
I wouldn't be so sure. Putin knows that if he breaks Ukraine, he owns it. He's cunning -- and will avoid this.
Likely, Putin will be happy to see a crippled and broken Ukraine that serves as a buffer state against what he and his minions see as NATO encroachment. AFAICT, the instability and division in Ukraine is a feature, not a bug. Note that he was quite happy to see Ukraine dysfunctional and poor under Yanukovich, at least until the old kleptocrat overextended himself, and found himself in exile in the land of his masters.
How to stop Putin? Not sure -- but one thing's for certain, we (the West) can't be seen as weak. Like Muslims, Russians respect strength and despise weakness. I suspect that only the threat of NATO flooding the future state of Western Ukraine with troops and hardware will cause him to step back.
In order for a Northern European to evolve fair skin and hair, there has to be something that will kill a human of dark skin and hair. Since people with dark skin can survive in Northern Europe, it is not through evolution.
The US is ***NOWHERE*** near as bad as the old Soviet Union or it's satellites. So just STFU about the whole 'cops confiscated my spliff == GULAG' thing.
And also shows how Hamas are taking the moral high ground too.../s.
And claiming that "desperation" justifies behaving like thugs, and launching those unguided POS bottle rockets by remote control at civilians is somehow justified... Just got to love those good old fashioned Islamic moral values...
If that were truly the case, and if Israeli really wanted to wipe out the Palestinians, that the breathless pro-Hamas dupes posting here claim, there wouldn't be a single Palestinian alive on Earth. Given what the Russians did to Grozny in the Second Chechan War, and given how much more overwhelmingly powerful the Western militaries are, it's actually a credit to the Israelis they've been able to do so little damage and kill so few people.
Anyway, what about Syrian civilians, slaughtered wholesale by (inferior) Russian weaponry. 200,000+ dead. Don't they count?

The US has always been fatally weak on control fraud and white-collar crime. Dumb people are impressed by rich people, and never ask how those people got rich, nor how many dead bodies they needed to step over to do it.
Interpol Red Notices are routinely used by oppressive regimes to harass political opponents abroad. They're not always effective; governments seem to be free to ignore these things if it appears to be politically motivated.
It's not a good look for the Russians to be so cheeky as to protest a common thief getting busted like this. I should hope that if somebody in (say) the UK ripped off a few thousand Russian pensioners over the internet, that the Russians could have him handed over (and thrown in Russian PMITA prison) quickly. Our Russian friends seem to have forgotten the notions of reciprocity.
Lots of people hate the whitespace block-delimiting, but I think Python is *way* better than Java for beginning programming classes.
I've seen the transition my alma mater made, between Modula-2 and Java. Modula-2 is trivial to pick up for anybody who cut their teeth on Turbo Pascal or Delphi, and "hello world" is quite easy to explain to anybody otherwise unfamiliar with programming. Try repeating that trick with Java's equivalent, and you'll understand why first-year dropout rates skyrocketed upon the switch. Anyway, Python has some nice goodies in the language which lends itself nicely to teaching both OO, and functional styles in the one language.
I've even seen this in non-IT specialties; at Imperial College here in London, the newbies learn Python (stands to reason, because it's the weapon of choice for many scientists, especially physicists). King's College, OTOH force their first-years to take a unit of Fortran, which actually manages to be about fifty times worse than any other language I've attempted to use.
The steepness of the learning curve is critical AFAICT -- you don't want to spoon-feed kids, but you don't want to crush them in their first two weeks at college either.
It's really easy. Stop paying people to have kids. And bring in changes to turn kids from assets into liabilities -- works everywhere.
You'll get the usual left-wing hand-wringing about "child poverty" and "overcrowding" -- but the only people who are "overcrowded", are conservative Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslims who can't keep their reactionary, undereducated dicks to themselves.
Better yet, get yourself an NHS, and give everyone a basic health plan funded out of general revenue.
The usual corporate pigs will scream blue murder, but everyone will forget it once they realize the absolutely massive efficiency gains to be made, by having the system waste vast resources handling private insurance overhead instead of healing people.
The NHS over here is a gigantic, expensive command economy (and one of the biggest employers in the world), and it isn't quite up to Mayo Clinic standards, but it is absolutely, vastly more efficient than the colossal fuckup that is the US private health system. And it's abolished medical expenses as a cause of bankruptcy.
Not a few times, I've heard the phrase "thank God for the NHS". Americans will eventually understand the truth, and get one too.

Islam these days is by far the worst offender, as a vehicle for promoting Third World degeneracy of all kinds.
As we should. There are too many useless eaters in the world.

... or THC psychosis.
Don't use your own machine, use a honeypot/goat machine.
Presumably, a bit of work is required to hit back at the scammers in the first instance; a little extra effort couldn't hurt.
That's BS. There are 2.5+ billion Christians in the world. 1.2 billion Muslims.
Getting tired of reading the same old lies and fabricated statistics about Islam being the biggest/fastest growing religion.
The Muslims are flattering themselves. There are stone structures all over Europe far more ancient than anything in the Middle East.

Mostly self-hating whites and Jews, as well as insane Muslim-appeasers, I'd say.
The (very Muslim) Egypt is also blockading Gaza.
Explain that away, smartarse.
Got some benchmarks to quote to back that up? AES in hardware is very fast.

Too much ceremony for doing simple things. And I'm speaking as somebody who builds big Java applications for a living.
Try explaining the meaning of "public static void main(String[] args)" to somebody who's never written any code before...
