I'm almost to the point where I want to send Ukraine weapons and dare Russia to attack us. I'm tired of Putin's temper tantrum. Eff it. If he wants to end the world, let's end the world. But at least let's do it with balls.
I'm on the fence on this as to whether I believe it or not. I think Trump voiced his displeasure with NATO and I'm sure getting out of NATO may have crossed his mind. But I'm not sure if that passing thought would have manifested into him actually pulling the trigger on that. And lets say that he did intend to do that, there is likely no way he would have been able to get cooperation from the people around him. Because right now, it appears that NATO is a sacred cow to these Beltway insiders and they would have likely not held back on any plans to prevent Trump from a NATO withdrawal. All the way from false accusations or impeachment to possibly having plane engine failures or something of that sort.

Well, two of the main arteries that provide fast internet to russia have severed ties. I've heard they can still tor out, and the internet was built with multiple back channels, but you have to know what you are doing. It's not direct fast internet anymore.
Most Russians are very internet savy, more so than we, but they are being watched.

and how Russia is getting around it. Moscow to issue TLS certificates to Russian websites
The internet was built from the beginning to have work arounds for this scenario. It's what it was built FOR actually. If one channel is cut off there are multiple other channels.
I'm saying that a stock market is no indication of a country's economic health.You implied that Russia’s stock market being closed for a month has nothing to do with the health of it’s economy, which of course is looney because the whole reason they’re doing that is to avoid the sharp price declines that are inevitable due to *gasp* the sanctions.
If you aren’t saying that Russia’s economy is healthy, then what exactly was the purpose of your contradictory reply?
What does a stock market have to do with the health of an economy? We've seen evidence of stock markets in Venezuela, Zimbabwe and even here in the US going off the charts while the real economy is collapsing.
