If it really was about making sports fair, they should put their effort in getting rid of diving in football.

It can happen that it is not stopped.

There are many countries that have fallen into an autocracy of some sort and stayed that way for decades.

There are many signs that the USA is on that path.
My question still is how do we stop this madness?

I'm very concerned about Ukraine giving up a lot for the US.

That would make sense if the US were an ally that couldn't give you crucial support otherwise.

Now they are a potential soon-to-be-adversary purely aiming to exploit you to the maximum while they still can.

I think the last paragraph is the most important thing to understand.

Zelensky didn't lose a deal or support in that shitfest.

If the Trump administration is that easily shaken, they would have betrayed Ukraine in a later moment anyway.
This was the wrestling pin.

They were going to use this false narrative to railroad him if possible, with defenestration as a close Plan B.

Zelensky understood the play, and died on the right hill.

They were always going to betray him. He just skipped the rough ride part.

We call people whose net worth is dependent on their political position (and are not politicians) oligarchs.
It's telling how Tesla was at a low of $142 in April 2024 just before Musk signalled his backing for Trump in ways that juiced the stock to $480 by December as the extent of the power Musk amassed through this move became clear.

Musk's net worth is now dependent on his political position

I wonder if there's a Manifold market for this.
I think the question is how Trump will try to stay in power after 4 years if he's still alive.

International or national crisis, driving opponents out of government and just not holding an election, being de facto leader in a differently named position, something else?

If you see the fouls so much better from the stands, why are referees on the pitch? 🤔

To avoid being surprised all the time, EU should realize that just because something is illegal, unconstitutional and immortal doesn't mean it won't happen.

Not many others seem to care about such things.

If you know how to teach, can you teach everything you know or do you have to learn domain specific teaching skills?
