While 700k may look like a lot (and by most objective measures it is), the skill set needed to run a successful non/not for profit is actually quite unique no matter how big or small it is. They do not work not like “normal” CEOs. Replace caring about share price, and moving the share price up effectively versus caring about voluntary donations from people who get nothing out of but perhaps a tax break. And you’re competing not against other equities (stocks); you’re competing against other non/not for profits for limited money and attention.

Anyway, just saying I do not begrudge that level of compensation to the people running the last corner of the internet not filled with AI slop.

Yes see comment above.

You’re getting downvoted but I think what you need to understand is that China can do nothing, and that still helps Russia. Instead, they are trading with them and keeping their economy afloat. They don’t have to send men/material to help.

DM me I’ll send you details.

There is zero chance he’s kissing the ring. And I agree thinking he would convert Trump would be naive, but I don’t think that was it either.

Generally speaking, the last person the orange fascist speaks with gets his attention for X amount of time. He was either doing that about something very specific, or possibly it was more of an intelligence operation, finding out what the fascist’s next step around a specific issue is.

Anyway that’s based on knowing Alexander fairly well. But, it could also be the other European leaders said to him “hey man, we did our trip to that asshole, now it’s your turn!” (the last guess is from my wife, who knows him a bit better/longer than me).

Sneaky yes, but naive Alexander is absolutely not.

Who says those SIGNT flights are for Ukraine anymore?

The thing is, the US has 100,000 troops and god knows how much military materiel in Europe. America leaves NATO, you think they are just going to pick up all their people and stuff and go because we ask them to politely?

We need a European army yesterday.

Hey, if they get traction, it’s a start.

The ironic thing is that all we in Europe have done is wave a carrot in front of Turkey’s face saying “reform and join us” when the reality is once we admitted CY, there was no fucking way Turkey was getting in without giving back the land they stole (and by stole, I mean stole wholesale.)

Turkey was in Russia due to its strangle hold on the exit from the Black Sea.

We have misses now…
