Hopefully it is sloppy enough it'll be easily slapped down. Or maybe Idaho residents will be able to convince the state senate to vote against it. As Boozy mentioned, they obviously don't expect it to pass muster under a real challenge, but that doesn't stop it from doing harm while the first...

Because they were written into the bones of the thing - or technically, the USSR was. Not sure how it was decided to give Russia all the previous USSR privileges in the UN, but maybe there is a loophole there, depending on how that was done. Honestly, I wonder if it would be a good idea to...

It gets worse... according to the Red Cross those evacuation routes were also fully mined.

Apparently the Excelsior is an Excelsior II with a new NCC number:

Looks like Digital Iron Curtain is going to happen regardless. *edit* Found a translation and it seems aimed more at moving all government resources to be fully self-contained inside Russia, so they're not chopping the cord yet, but it still reads like that's what they're preparing for, no...

And a thread with the translation here:

That's because the Sutherland IS the new Nebula. it's the successor class, like Miranda -> Reliant, Galaxy-> Andromeda(Or Ross in this case). There's not going to be huge differences when they're only one ship generation apart or so.

Well the fleet issue's been solved this season by them doing what they should have done last season - ask the STO folks for models! Don't think I need to spoiler this since there's no context. The Sovereign and Akira models were also provided by Cryptic, not just the four STO ships, and...

Look into the Mutineer's Moon book by David Weber(realistically, the whole Dahak trilogy) as it involves something along those lines. Or the Freehold books, though to my understanding that's not gotten up to the point you're thinking of for post-post.

Speaking of sanctions being effective, here's a thread I forgot to share a few days ago: F for Russian furry artists(and frankly I thought Paypal had already done this) https://www.reuters.com/business/paypal-shuts-down-its-services-russia-citing-ukraine-aggression-2022-03-05/ and some...

Note I said -completely- cut off the internet, which physically disconnecting(or pulling all the backbones) will do. Blocking Steam doesn't stop the flow of actual information, while blocking everything just means you're putting up the Great Firewall of Russia from your side instead of theirs...

It's hard to start a revolution now to unseat Putin... it's even harder if the entire population only sees and hears what Putin wants. I don't know about you but I'd rather not have a North Korea Mk II as large as the US and with working nuclear capacity that can reach the US. (And ignoring the...

Yeah... Russia's currently on a North Korea speedrun, Any%. Combined with the new law, it's getting harder and harder for people inside to get the actual truth - those who know better anyways. The question is slowly becoming if the Russian oligarchs are willing to just become big fish in a...

4th unit is the last one running, but firefighters finally got through and seems everything in that regard is under control at least, though the battle is still ongoing.

Units 2 and 3 are shut down now, and there's video on the live feed of Russian troops directly firing tracer rounds into it.

There's an article on Bloomberg mentioning it. Also, That certainly won't backfire on them if it goes through
