"All of Russia" is not in Europe culturally, nor has it ever been, wtf

It was always Western Russia. Siberia is extremely Asian influenced, and most of Russia is geographically in Asia.

Western Russian European culture dominated those regions, but that's not their indigenous cultural identity.

The American Civil War is actually extremely stupid petty and barbaric poo poo, if anyone takes even like a few minutes to analyze it without "Lost Cause" blinders on: fighting for the right for rich people to own other people.

Really the Civil War never ended: they just found new ways to tell dumbfuck poorer whites they had it better than minorities because they are white, and hey don't look over at the plantation owners/ billionares robbing you blind, it's brown people's fault.

The contiguous US and Europe are pretty comparable size wise (Europe used to be bigger than the contiguous US but I guess all of Russia is definitively Not Europe now due to ideological distinction).

The cultural differences in distance perception seem to be more about American lack of public transport infrastructure, and the corollary of American willingness to commute insane distances by car

I think it's more that Americans are so used to think Everything is Bigger in America you don't realize that other people drive long distances too. But driving from Lisbon to Baku takes longer than driving from Portland, Main to Los Angles by around 20 hours - not that many people do like they do in the US. Most of our better public transportation is in the cities, and some trains. You have much cheaper and frequent air plane travel making long journeys easier, less expensive and faster. Even within the EU, driving from Gibraltar to Rovanjemi takes about the same time as across the US. If you include Norway it takes almost 60 hours to Kirkenes

No, but it still takes 32 hours to drive from St. Petersburg to Chelyabinsk, and 38 hours from Sochi. The European part of Russia is still YUGE. Sochi to Murmansk is even further, clocking in at 44 hours

edit: Pedantic, but Russia was only in Europe until the early 1500s

Want to correct something, the dumbfuck poorer whites comment: not trying to generalize, American elite have spent more than a century getting more economically disadvantage whites to stay "dumb" about the world on purpose by destroying the ability for them to actually be educated and using racism to make them seem like they have it better than "those people", so that they can be manipulated into letting elites do whatever they want, and not siding with their obvious class allies, ie everyone else.

Watch the excellent "What We Do In The Shadows" series.

The vampires realised that when you die, your ghost leaves your body. As they had died when they became vampires, their ghosts must still exist, so they held a seance to talk to their own ghosts. Nadja's ghost wanted to remain on Earth so decided to inhabit a doll. The Nadja ghost doll became a recurring character in the household. Lazlo had to wank his own ghost off to allow it to move on into the afterlife.

I REALLY want to know who this guy was directly working with, bet it's Rudy, Bannon, and Stone directly.

I imagine they rearrested him because he's a flight risk/ actively committing more crime?

I think the most likely thing is that Bannon and Rudy are somehow involved and probably worked together to do the "Hunter Biden Laptop" thing knowing what they had came from Russia via Smirnov. What's more interesting is what could end up happening to a lot of the other players. The FBI spent a lot of time and effort on this and it feels like they knew from early on that he wasn't reliable, but let a lot of information out and let Russian provided propaganda become the basis for an impeachment effort. If the FBI has been counter-investigating these claims all along you could make the case that Wray should be fired and that House members like Comer and Jordan should be reassigned for all the poo poo they did knowing it was likely all of it was lies. I would make the case that Garland should go as well, he's proven he isn't able to stand up to Republican pressure to investigate his boss (Biden Documents and the Smirnov allegations both got special investigations almost as soon as they became a thing), but drags his feet when it comes to doing ANYTHING about President Crimes breaking the law in open daylight.

"surely the courts will back us" - which sadly has been the case with Trump and federalist societ judges but not anyone else in reality.

Thankfully we stopped the military appointment bullshit from Tuberfucker so they couldn't try to subvert the military.

Correct "all of Russia" is Not Europe now. However "some of Russia" i.e. Western Russia, used to be. Now it is not, therefore "all of Russia" is Not Europe now.

Man, it sure is weird how these chud pauper-kings have the scratch to fly around on private jets and launch "websites", but the instant you lay eyes on them they're shaving at a McDonald's and living out of pickup trucks.
