Because he sees himself as the successor of previous emperors of Russia such as Nicholas I. To him, Gorbachev was just a fake leader, watching over disaster and dissolution, while he’s a monarchical figure of inevitable destiny.

He sees the invasion of Ukraine as a defensive war, trying to keep the empire together. Prior to 2014, the Ukrainian government was essentially a puppet to Russia, after that it was like another piece of the empire was “taken”.

I recommend listening to Vlad Vexler to get an insight into how the tyrant thinks. His chat channel is also great.

China creates more orbital debris than every other country combined, so they had this coming. If we’re going to experience Kessler syndrome, it’ll be because of them.

It’s not but people tend to vote for a couple of large parties, even in countries with pluralist voting systems. What we’re seeing now is half the votes going to the far right and the other half to a left that’s careless with the currency. They need a new left ideology, honestly. Protectionism isn’t the way.

Honestly, when the alternative is going back to peronism with 200% inflation, I can empathize with that choice. Personally I would have voted for a smaller party that aligned better with me but I can understand their fear of going back to peronism.

I think that article is not well researched. Devaluing the currency causes inflation (in Argentina’s case), not the opposite. In fact, Milei did not sufficiently devalue the peso, because devaluing further would have caused more inflation. It’s exactly because he did not sufficiently devalue that the peso is now in crisis.

I don’t know about the other ones, but under Milei housing listings have become cheaper, when adjusted for inflation.

I had fault in my server this summer and my local bitwarden app wouldn’t work without the connection. Same in my laptop, if the connection is blocked by the firewall it doesn’t let me load the vault at all.
