Trying to read that made my brain hurt. Almost worse than this pile of Intro to World History papers.

Too weird, didn’t read - everyone still believes that the GOP is better at the economy, but facts don’t bear that out… So they will not send weapons to Ukraine, and wreck our economy to make their donors (and themselves) even richer…
[ETA] Also…

They don’t even pretend anymore, to be honest.
Well, back to the futility of:
Using:
- Dhammapada (5.3 WTWA p.191)
- Buddha, Sermons (CR p.114)
- Ashoka (CR p.110)
- The Kalinga Edict (6.2, WTWA. p.228-9)
- Arthashastra, Duties (CR p.123)
- Questions of Milinda (CR p.132)
- “Sâgala: City of the Gods” (6.3, WTWA p.229)
- Jakata (CR p.138)
- Han Yu, Memorial on the Bone of the Buddha (CR p.185)
Analyze:
How did Buddhism develop over time in response to historical forces as it spread within and beyond South Asia?

Over the past eight years, since the Russian annexation of Crimea, the BBC has found that Russian military courts have handed out more than 550 sentences to military personnel convicted of selling equipment from army supply depots.
Public awareness of this issue would have remained fairly low if it hadn’t been for the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Vladimir Putin’s subsequent ’partial mobilisation’ order.
It was mobilisation in particular that exposed the Russian army’s failure to provide even the most basic kit for new recruits. Families of mobilised men found themselves having to buy everything from boots, balaclavas, socks, rucksacks and uniforms, to body armour, first-aid kits and even night-vision devices.
In a post widely shared on Russian social media, the wife of one new recruit wrote that her family had spent 30 thousand roubles – the equivalent of nearly 500 US dollars to buy him a uniform, rucksack, medication and food.

Signaling? Iran is fucking around with drones and missiles.

Very much signalling. Now, if they put the USS Jimmy Carter in position, people ought to get very worried. That boat comes back to base flying pirate flags.

A Russian fighter jet “released a missile” in the vicinity of a British aircraft in international airspace over the Black Sea because of a technical malfunction
More likely it was the Russian pilot’s first flight and he was just trying to figure out what all the buttons do.

Uncle Joe will just have to mint the trillion dollar coin.
The debt ceiling nonsense is unconstitutional. “The debt shall not be questioned” etc.
Besides- this is spending that Congress already approved. Why does it need special, second approval?

The real, MAGA Americans didn’t approve… /s
