Realistically how much can Trump delay on the Russia sanctions? Either continuing to refuse to sign it or attempting to veto it?

Texas talks big game but they don't have a large naval base like Cali nor do they have ICBMs. Only lots of tanks. Sad!

he can still veto it


congress would have to vote again to override the veto
I was surprised to hear he wouldn't veto it because knowing that congress would override it if he did requires long-term thinking AND a desire not to get petty revenge on them by making them come back in to vote on something during recess.

There's enough votes to override it.

It just puts him in a worse position if he does it, so expect him to do it.

I mean time-wise. When does he have to sign it by and how long would overriding the veto take?

the clock runs out next Tuesday and it will become law at that point if congress is in session or not become law of congress is not in session

(congress.gov says it was presented to the president on July 28, so ten days from that date, excluding Sundays, despite the White House denying they've seen it)

Texas also has Raytheon's space and missile systems.

Which means lasers.

It's kind of weird that we don't because you'd think the Gulf would demand multiple naval bases; especially with the issues that exist in Central America and the northern part of South America.

As a dog owner: dogs are just autistic wolves

There was an interesting Radio Lab story about a Russian fox breeding program. Foxes that were afraid of humans did not breed, but friendly foxes did.

What ended up happening was aggressiveness bred out; this appears to coincide with adrenaline deficiencies.

Curiously, this led to markedly different changes - these foxes developed floppy ears, and a more delicate appearance. One theory as to what happened is the foxes remain, essentially, kits - adolescents.

A similar thought is that this applies to all domesticated animals - dogs being just puppies.

- Turks
- Seljuqs
- Khwarezmids
- Georgians
- Mongols
- Timurids
- Kurds & Azerbaijanis
- Russians
- Rando tribal guys (like The Shah who was forced to abdicate by:)
- British + Russians

People have been taking chunks out of Iran/Persia or totally changing who's in charge since forever. It's just a normal place that's not an island.
