  1. Let me educate you :) The USSR consisted of 15 republic states. According to the constitution of the USSR each republic state had a right to secede from the USSR. These republic states were: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kirghistan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    As you can see there were no Chechnya among them. Chechnya was a part of the Russian republic state. In the end of 1991, all 15 republic states seceded from the USSR and became 15 independent states. The USSR ceased to exist. And because Chechnya was part of the Russian republic state within the USSR, it became a part of the current Russian Federation.

  2. When was it? in 18th century?

    One being able of having a motive to do something doesn't mean he did that. Not to mention there are several possible motives.

  5. Chechnya was not a separate country from Russia even after the Soviet Union broke up. It was and is within the Russian borders.

  6. It was Ukrainian cybercriminals who wanted to make money but failed to do that because their email was blocked: http://www.news.com.au/technol... The reason Ukraine was the epicenter of the attack was because the criminals was from Ukraine and therefore had better access to Ukrainian targets or knew them better

  8. They can translate it once, then reuse the result. How is it different than compiling from other languages or bytecodes? You take the program written in the language that is not understood by the processor and translate it to the language that is understood by the processor. (Of course I understand that not all software can be translated like that)

    People have an instinct. The instinct that makes them to imitate those who have the highest status. As soon as a new "top dog" appears in the world people will start learning its language. It's inevitable. And the media will start "bootstrapping" that new language. Also, the complexity doesn't matter.
    It's one of the reasons of course, not the only one

    No, at least in the 18th century and in the first half of 19th century, French was more important than English

    English was not as dominant as it is today 100 years ago when the British empire was still in power. The current status of English is because of the US. Of course I don't deny that British Empire had its role.

    Language complexity has nothing to do with its dominance. If say Chinese or Russians become dominant in business, military, science, I can assure, you everybody will start learning Chinese or Russian

    English is dominant because of the US. If the US loses its status, English will do it too. But I don't see it in the near future at least

  23. You are such an obvious Ukrainian doing his job. Ukrainian forces are not 20km from Donetsk. They are on its very edge. And don't tell me Ukrainians use only AK-rifles. They use artillery as well mortars. During the war they were shelling separatists who were in the cities among civilians. You are constantly calling separatists "Russians". They are not Russians, they are Ukrainian citizens.
    " until everyone realized". This is a good example of Argumentum ad populum or "appeal to the majority" - a fallacious argument
